Symbolic Sitcom Resurrection Ads

The Return of Arrested Development is Hyped with Familiar Imagery

In case you haven't heard, the return of Arrested Development is coming exclusively to Netflix.

This series of print ads effectively promotes the show with simple imagery of popular elements from the show. The simplicity of the ads contrasted against orange and white backgrounds really make them stand out and would certainly steal attention when placed in a magazine. The images used include a banana, which references the Bluth's Frozen Banana stand and a pair of denim shorts, which is what Tobias would wear in the shower.

The return of Arrested Development ads will really hit home with current fans of the show as they showcase inside jokes that will bring pleasant memories. They also attract people unfamiliar with the show by creating intrigue and having people wonder what they are missing out on.
