George Oscar Bluth, Jr., called Gob (pronounced /ĖdŹoŹb/ usĀ dict:Ā jÅb, as in the Biblical figure Job), is the eldest Bluth son and the father of Steve Holt.
By trade a part-time magician, he is a founding member of the "Magicians' Alliance", a group that was formed to preserve magicians' secrets; he was later blackballed by them for unwittingly revealing how one of his illusions was performed. He is known for incorporating over-the-top theatrics into his magic shows, including pyrotechnics, dance routines, and wind machines. He plays Europe's "The Final Countdown" before almost all of his major illusions. In the second season, he became president of the Bluth Company; however, he is little more than a figurehead, as he wields no real power while his brother Michael is still in charge.
George Sr. paid little attention to Gob as a child and has no respect for him as an adult. Gob's mother openly hates him. On several occasions, Gob and Michael realized that their rivalry has been nurtured by their father and mother's manipulations. Gob is known to be the womanizer of the Bluth family. Eventually, Gob discovers that he is the father of the teenage jock Steve Holt. Toward the end of season 1 Gob marries a dealer of trained seals, played by real-life wife Amy Poehler, in a series of escalating dares. She later becomes infatuated with Tobias FĆ¼nke, Gob's brother-in-law, and joins the army in the hopes of avoiding her attraction.
Gob usually shows signs of the DunningāKruger effect, which deepens and complicates his problems despite his blind confidence. When his confidence is shattered or challenged however, he will burst into tears and cry with self-loathing or take extreme measures to cease the disgust he feels in himself. Examples of this include the time when he attempted to hang himself with his belt after being questioned about topics he was ignorant in, or when he ingested a 'forget-me-now' pill in order to forget that he has a son.
Despite Gob's "womanizing" abilities, he has no real friends; his closest friends are the Hot Cops, a group of strippers that Gob once worked with before almost getting his head blown off while on the job. He uses the Hot Cops in many situations, including a fake drug bust and for fake friends at a bachelor party. His best friend is Michael, though he denies it.
He is also the original creator and inspiration for the Mr. Bananagrabber character. Although he retains most of the rights to the character, he gave away the animation rights to Michael. It was later made into an animated television series that became an infrequent background joke. He also briefly had a ventriloquist act with a stereotyped African-American doll named Franklin Delano Bluth. Gob and Franklin produce an album together named, "Franklin Comes Alive." He is frequently seen throughout the series getting around on a Segway which has a pouch that says "GOB" on it. Gob's oft repeated lines are "Come on!" and, "I've made a huge mistake" which are also used in various forms by himself and other characters.
