It will probably be Arrested Development, but first thought is Pepper from Dodgeball

I love him in Arrested Development but my first thought when i saw the thread title was Horrible Bosses.

That's probably the one for me too. His smugness seems to be an innate ability he's always had, and has played perfectly into the roles he's gotten.
On a side note, I felt sure when I started watching BoJack Horseman that Mr. Peanutbutter was being voiced by Bateman - not only because it sounded like him both in terms of vocal signature but also in terms of cadence, phrasing, etc., but also because he and Arnett have a history of collaboration. You could have knocked me over with a feather when I actually watched the credits once (you know how you can skip that when binging on Netflix) and found Mr. Peanutbutter is actually voiced by Paul F. Tomkins.

It's at least worth a mention on the list above. But the answer is Arrested Development.

It feels a little premature to be digging this deep.

So right.
The same road as Robert Downey Jr and Ryan Reynolds IMO.
Ozark has brought out some actual acting from him though.

His brand is fast talking funny condescending guy. He perfected that in Arrested Development

No Juno?

Honestly that's what he's always been historically in my mind, maybe it was my huge crush on her and Alyssa Milano that still perpetuate to this day, but since Arrested Development, that script has to have flipped.
Now it's simply Jason Bateman. And there is also Jason Bateman's older sister.

I figured horrible bosses would’ve been an option.

Not disagreeing, but as I think of Joan's iconic role, it's one where we only see her range via her voice -- Jessie from Toy Story.badmojo1006 said:
Outside of that, not sure I could say she's shown fantastic acting chops -- or even cite the major movie roles she's been in (though her stint as Geek Girl #1 in Sixteen Candles is a classic).

In and Out and Addams Family Values she showed her chops. Looked pretty hot in Addams Family

Somebody mentioned it upthread - Pepper Brooks was one of the funniest send-ups of that era.

"Arrested Development" put him on the map. Before that, he was just another former child actor who was probably best known for being the brother of another former child actor.

Saw both movies, thought they were both great.northern exposure said:
Until you mentioned them, I completely forgot Joan was in them.
Which in a way, is along the lines of my point -- not sure you can call those major roles if her impact was such that I have trouble recalling her being in them.
That may be more on me and my poor memory. Not saying she's a poor actress -- far from it. While it's not a stellar, award-winning performance she was indeed solid in School of Rock, and good call @badMOJO on In and Out -- I never saw that and she has a leading role, so will need to to test my own opinion.

This movie should have been trash....but if I come across it while I'm surfing I ALWAYS stop and finish watching it, wherever it may be in the run time:
"I didn't know Jews could sing like that!"
"No, no, they couldn't at the time. That's why they had to dress like clowns."
"You see, Ronnie? his #### is the gun!"
