# Cheeky Sitcom-Inspired Cups This Arrested Development Mug Will Drive Away the Blues By | Published 2013-05-20 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arrested-development-merchandise References: [etsy](http://www.etsy.com/listing/113255797/arrested-development-tobias-blue-mug?ref=sr_gallery_7&ga_search_query=analrapist) With the new season arriving in only ten days, Arrested Development merchandise is hotter than ever, especially this [hilariously offensive mug](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roast-host-collection). One of Arrested Development's iconic characters, psychiatrist-turned-actor Tobias Funke, once declared himself the world's first analyst/therapist. The combination of the two words, however, tells a different story. Arrested Development fans can now [own their very own mug](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mario-mug) proclaiming them the king of Tobias's unique profession, complete with blue handprints from Tobias's [Blue Man Group](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beeeline) days. The mug is completely original, with the owner painting each letter herself before firing the cheeky thing. This means that if you order this quirky and hilarious mug, it will be like no other quirky and hilarious mug ever created -- that's worth a few bucks. So if you're just blue yourself, drink your Gobias Industries coffee out of your very own authentic (albeit vulgar) Arrested Development mug -- you'll be the talk of the office. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.6/10 - Popularity: 81% | Activity: 79% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Humor](https://www.trendhunter.com/humor) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Arrested Development Merchandise Trend:** The rise of Arrested Development merchandise opens up opportunities for businesses to create and market unique products inspired by the show. - **Custom-made Mugs Trend:** The trend of DIY/custom-made mugs could lead to disruptive innovations in crafting and personalization industries. - **Humor-based Cocktailware Trend:** The popularity of cheeky, sitcom-inspired mugs could push businesses to develop unique and humorous cocktailware products. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Merchandise Industry:** The rise of Arrested Development merchandise presents opportunities for businesses in the merchandise industry to create unique and innovative products. - **Crafting Industry:** The trend of DIY/custom-made mugs could disrupt the crafting industry and lead to innovations in personalized home goods. - **Barware Industry:** The trend of humor-based cocktailware could inspire businesses in the barware industry to create unique and tongue-in-cheek drinking vessels. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sitcom-Themed Coffee Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bean-box-seinfeld-coffee-collection.md) - [Sci-Fi Film Franchise Drinkware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/picard-tea-cup-set.md) - [Ghost Show-Themed Coffees](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pop-culture-coffee.md) - [Dinosaur-Shaped Kitchenware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kawaii-ceramic-dinosaur-mug.md) - [Anthropomorphic Cup Plush Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amusesable-coffee.md) - [Landmark-Inspired Glass Mugs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/starbucks-mount-fuji-glass-mug.md) - [Anime-Themed Coffee Carriers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mug-tumblers.md) - [Limited-Edition April Fool's Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oops-collection.md) - [Utensil Holding Mugs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/1handmug.md)
