The series, narrated by Ron Howard, follows the Bluths, a formerly wealthy, dysfunctional family, who made their money from property development.
Lindsay (Portia de Rossi) coaches Bob Loblaw's (Scott Baio) daughter, Hope (Nathalia Ramos) in the pageant.
Gob (Will Arnett) informs Michael that Steve Holt (Justin Grant Wade) wants to enter the father-son triathlon with him.
Bob suggests to Michael that George Sr. (Jeffrey Tambor) improve his image by leading a "Startled Straight" program designed to reform "at-risk male youths".
George Sr. arrives to speak at "Startled Straight", but it turns out to be for preventing men from becoming homosexuals; when he gives a speech about the horrors of prison to a group of young gay males, it does not go as he expected.
Club writer Noel Murray commented on how the "episode is little more than a collection of gags and sketches, very loosely motivated.
"[4] Brian Tallerico from Vulture ranked the episode 53th out of the whole series, saying:"There's a lot of dwindling plots in "Notapusy" as season three treads water before we get to the big Rita reveal, and the puns — like Ann's "Camel Tow" and Michael taking Oxycontin for incontinence — feel like jokes that should've been cut.
