The Orange is the New Black Meets Arrested Development intro is comedic gold. A similar [television show mashup](http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/game-of-thrones-seinfeld) was done between 'Game of Thrones' and 'Seinfeld,' to the delight of fans around the world. Such seamless comparisons really show the similarities between story lines and characters, even if they appear farfetched and unrelated at first. It is hard to deny that the OITNB plot isn't in line with that of 'Arrested Development.' After all, the tribute was put together by Netflix as a fun way to promote the second season.

Put together by 'Arrested Development' executive producer Ron Howard, the Orange is the New Black Meets Arrested Development opening credits is short but sweet. The next season of Orange is the New Black is available on Netflix June 6th.
