George Oscar Bluth II, who goes by G.O.B. (pronounced Jobe , though often mispronounced rhyming with glob ) is the arrogant older brother of Michael Bluth and an aspiring magician. He is crushed to have recently been kicked out of the Magicians Alliance, the group he founded to protect magician's secrets.His act includes pyrotechnics, dance routines, a wind machine and is set to Europe's The Final Countdown (which will now be stuck in your head the rest of the day).What he lacks in skill he makes up for in confidence, never failing to over-estimate his own entertainment value.He thinks he knows as much about business as his brother Michael and claims to want to run the family company despite having no idea how to do so. Like his sister, Lindsay, he has no inclination to actually work for a living when magic doesn't pay whatever bills he might have. Instead, he collects envelopes of cash from the Bluth company. He also later works as a member of the male stripping group, Hot Cops. His other claims to mediocrity are creating the Mr. Bananagrabber character and a mildly racist African-American puppet Franklin Delano Bluth for use in his act.G.O.B. is a serial womanizer who lies and cheats on his girlfriends but he has no real friends and doesn't understand why. His high fives are often unreciprocated, the saddest of fives.G.O.B.'s emotional development is that of a child, swinging wildly from one extreme mood to the next. He reacts to disappointment and failure with tears and self-pity. He roofies himself to forget.Background: G.O.B.'s father George Sr. ignored him as a child and his mother Lucille seems to openly hate him. He has an illegitimate son, whose existence he learns about when the son is a teenager. He has a magician rival, Tony Wonder. He uses a Segway to go even the shortest distances and lives on other people's yachts. His two most common phrases are come ON! and I've made a huge mistake.
