He was married once after a night of escalating dares to a seal dealer known only as Wife Of Gob (or WOG).

 | Name: Michael
Played By: Jason Bateman
| | Michael is the middle son of George and Lucille. He is a widower and has a son, George Michael (not the singer-songwriter). He is the only one of his siblings that has held a job for any length of time. He sacrificed his and his son's comfort by living in the model home with his Lindsay, Tobias, and Maeby with occasional disastrous sojourns by both GOB and Buster. He is afraid of losing his son and has some sort of mental blockage against Ann when she dated George Michael going so far as to leave her in Mexico. He is incapable of having a one night stand yet feels little compunction about stealing his brother's girlfriend. His mode of transportation is a staircar. Is chicken danced at. |

Lindsay is married to former doctor and supposed actor Tobias and has one daughter, Maeby. She once pretended to be a shoplifter to her family to hide her torrid life as a shopgirl. She throws lavish fund raiser dinners to prove how liberal she is. Once she and Tobais decided to have an open marriage she was never able to "seal the deal" with any man she pursued. Her chicken dance consists of her |
| | Buster is the youngest Bluth child. Although he was raised believing that George Sr. and Lucille were his parents, his father is actually Oscar. Before the Bluths encountered legal trouble and had their assets frozen, Buster was a graduate student in fields such as cartography, native american drumming and 19th century agrarian business yet earned no degree. Lucille enlisted Buster in the Army since because she was challenged by a Michael Moore lookalike. He dated Lucille 2 and Starla yet was the only Bluth boy not to date Marta, though his torch for her burned brightly. He lost a hand in a seal attack and reportedly has a penis shaped like a lobster tail without its shell. No known chicken dance. |
| | George Michael Bluth is the son of Michael and Tracy (deceased, presumably due to ovarian cancer). He is manager (not Mr. Manager) of Bluth's Frozen Banana on the Balboa boardwalk, as well as a high school student. He has a secret crush on his cousin Maeby for 2 seasons before he finally gets to second base. In seasons one and two, his girlfriend is Ann Veal, commonly referred to by Michael as "her?" "who?" or "bland". Shows exquisite excitement for his Quicken gift that can be deducted from his taxes. No known chicken dance. |
 | Name: Oscar
Played By: Jeffrey Tambor
| | Oscar is the twin brother of George Sr (both portrayed by Jeffrey Tambor). He is the father of Buster and on-again, off-again lover of Lucille. Oscar was the owner of a lemon grove and two pairs of pants before moving in with Lucille and Buster while George Sr. was on the run. Oscar is repeatedly mistaken for George Sr. and is beaten and jailed several times, most notably in season three, when Oscar is imprisoned for two months, loses his hair due to stress and cannot prove his identity, due to burning off his fingerprints with the Cornballer. At this time, Oscar starts www.imoscar.com in an attempt to prove his innocence. |
| | Tobias Fünke is the husband of Lindsay and father of Maeby. Tobias is the world's first analrapist yet loses his medical license not for that but for incorrectly administering CPR. Tobias believes the Universe told him to become an actor and confirmed that inclination with a fortuitous meeting with Carl Weathers. Before striking it big portraying George Sr. on Scandal Makers, he lost out on parts such as Con Man Number 3 and Frightened Inmate. For a time, Tobias pretended to be a British housekeeper named Mrs. Featherbottom in an attempt to spend more time with his daughter. He will lick the hand that covers his mouth. |
| | Maeby is the daughter of Tobias and Lindsay Fünke. Maeby's rebellions have usually ended up with her in places she'd rather not be, such as in the banana stand, all her cousins in love with her, or in a ball gown. She is perhaps the smartest of the Bluth/Funke bunch and puts her ingenuity to her intense benefit. Unfortunately, she can't sign large checks, count money, or spell (D-, m-i-n-e-s). She went to a school in Boston who's grading system depended entirely on the feelings of the student towards the subject. After conning her father into believing it was "Help Your Dad Follow Your Dream Day," she conned her way from a book report on "Old Man and the Sea" to a job with a movie studio making "Young Man and the Sea" with Jude Law. |
| Name: Annyong
