A short clip from the TV sitcom Arrested Development in which Tobias delivers the line 'There are dozens of us... DOZENS'. It is an uploaded excerpt of the show, not original content.

Why Hacker News points people here: Commenters quote it as a punchline when a group claims to be larger or more significant than it is.

“It's Arrested Development reference”

Full comment

It's Arrested Development reference: this video I am glad it's voted down. If I have Reddit for that kind of comments already.

This reminds me of "There are dozens of us... DOZENS"[1]. While I am happy that people are diversifying their social network choice, 160k is a rounding error to Facebook. [1] - this video

> Finally I can be sure that all my dozen unused accounts will be deleted for good this time. Thanks, due to my broken brain now I've got that weird bald guy from Arrested Development stuck in my head[1] :-) (I mostly used Twitter for comedy towards the end -- apparently it creates a problem if you start tweeting like you're gunning for a guest spot on "Chapo Trap House" while collecting lewd DMs from local party officials like Pokemon cards -- my account was suspended. Womp womp!) (But in all seriousness, Elon was on my blocklist and has not properly navigated that conflict of interest.) [1] this video
