The new 'Arrested Westeros' blog performs a task that is so simple yet so effective that fans of both Game of Thrones and Arrested Development won't be able to scroll through its pages without laughing.
The website takes stills from episodes of Game of Thrones and captions them with quotes from Arrested Development in a way that still makes sense while demonstrating how ridiculous it is that modern-day quotes are being spoken by medieval-era fantasy characters.
Knowledge of both shows is necessary to experience the full effect of 'Arrested Westeros.' The website highlights that both shows focus on a dysfunctional family and therefore draws subtle similarities between them even though they're so seemingly different.
Browsing 'Arrested Westeros' is the perfect way to simultaneously celebrate the season premiere of Arrested Development and mourn the two-week Game of Thrones hiatus.
