From the “Night Out” episode of NBC’s “The Office”:
Andy: Old ball and chain’s been a lot more chain than ball lately, if you know what I’m saying.
I’ve been waiting for somebody to make a big fuss about this, but as far as I know nobody has. That line is a blatant joke-steal.
From the “Best Man for the Gob” episode of “Arrested Development”:
Gob: I’ve got the marriage and none of the good parts. It’s like so far, it’s been all chain and no ball.
I, for one, am angry about it. Ed Helms, who delivered the line on The Office, guest starred on Arrested Development. He should know better.
Furthermore, in the same episode of “The Office”:
Michael: Who are you dating?
Jim: Pam.
Michael: That’s still going on?
While not directly lifted, that is a pretty Arrested Development-esque exchange.
