about
Tobias Fünke is the husband of Lindsay Bluth and the father of Maeby Fünke. He was the chief resident of psychiatry at Massachusetts General Hospital until he lost his license for giving CPR to a man who was not actually having a heart attack. At one point, he was licensed as both a therapist and analyst, making him the first licensed "analrapist" (Michael suggests that he should have reviewed how the term would be misread before having business cards printed). At the beginning of the series, Tobias decides that his destiny is to become an actor, and he pursues this career throughout the series without success. He spends time trying to join the Blue Man Group, often appearing in blue spots in the background. Tobias suffers from "never-nude" syndrome (which, as the narrator states, is "exactly what it sounds like") and wears denim cut-off shorts at all times, even in the shower. (The condition is based on the real condition of severe gymnophobia, although the portrayal is largely fake.) His homosexual tendencies are a running joke in the show; he makes frequent sexual double-entendres which he seems completely oblivious to. Lindsay, who married Tobias to spite her father, is convinced that her husband is gay. He has experienced sexual difficulties with his wife. This leads to their joint decision to attempt an "open" marriage. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
