Tobias' should have been something to the effect of:

"Buy for $6.99 a month, or try for 30 days free if you're just buy curious"

Fixed.

 

[Ein Bear]

That Tobias one is so perfect. The awkward pose and everything.

God the HYPE! Still can't quite believe this is happening.

 

[Zebra]

Tobias is transforming into George Costanza.

 

[fallengorn]

Tobias' line is great.

Tobias' should have been something to the effect of:

"Only $6.99 a month, or try for 30 days free if you're just buy curious"

Fixed. Although it doesn't work as well written out.

Edit: Beaten.

 

[Gui_PT]

You guys want them to re-use show jokes even before the new season starts?

For shame!

 

[Clydefrog]

Here we go.

smiled from ear-to-ear just looking at those

this is gonna be good

 

[Mariolee]

Lindsay looks pretty good in the poster, but Michael looks weird with the new haircut. Which is weird since he has much different hair in the screenshots we've seen so far of the new series.

 

[zephervack]

Still cant believe this is happening :')

 

[Router]

Bateman looks weird without the old haircut.

 

[TUSR]

Bateman looks weird without the old haircut.

He looks like a stud

 

[~Kinggi~]

oh god damn looking at those pictures. THIS IS NUTSSSSSSS!

 

[Zebra]

I'm thinking he will have his longer hair during moments in the show that are "flashbacks" and the shorter haircut will be present time. I think this will also be the case for Portia's character.

 

[SpudBud]

Oh god the hype. I can't take it. When is that preview going up again?

 

[Mariolee]

That's what I suspected, but I still don't like it. I do get though that they want to show the time jump and difference between then and now. Still, it's not a good look for him in my opinion. I don't know why I care so much since it shouldn't be indicative of the quality of the show.

 

[Anticitizen One]

Jesus what happened to Bateman? He looks like a 60 year old heroin addict now

 

[~Kinggi~]

Huh? No way man.

 

[Gozer the Gozerian]

I assumed the differences were just that these publicity shots were taken well after the show was actually filmed.

the facial expression and short hair just make him look weird

 

[Zebra]

Also possible, but at least in Portia's case we know she will have both long hair and short hair at different points within the show.

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

LOL Busters line got me. Everyone else quotes something about Netflix..and then its just Buster and his infamous introduction. Everyone's laughing, and riding, and cornholing except Buster.

He kinda looks like he is going to start cooking meth.

Amazing. I don't even know what someone would think of if they had never heard of AD and drove by with that ad.

 

[WordAssassin]

This is proper advertising that the show deserves.

 

[Messi]

Wow, Buster did not age at all.

 

[TheUsual]

Wow, Buster did not age at all.

Same with Michael Cera.

 

[The Wanderer]

I'm hoping its just that picture, but she looks gaunt and almost unrecognizable. I think the "aging" look is preferable to the eating disorder / plastic surgery look.

She looks like Sally Sitwell. That actress had work done too. So tight in the facial region and the lips have been touched up.

 

[Anticitizen One]

The ankle bracelet on Lucille is a nice touch

 

[Stumpokapow]

I have to be honest, I'm not really a fan of the "LOL REMEMBER DAT JOKE?" stuff in the ad campaign. I get why they're doing it, it's advertising, but I hope the actual episodes integrate callbacks a little more organically. Like the trick/illusion thing is acknowledged maybe 5 times in the whole series, only when it makes sense--and in the case where Pimp Franklin is talking about Nellie, a very sophisticated double entendre. The show doesn't have catchphrases.

 

[Stabby McSter]

So I was on YouTube and stumbled across this video that says Buster and Maeby interact with each other only once throughout the series, and it's only in the last episode of season 3.

SOMEONE EITHER CONFIRM OR DENY THIS CUZ MY MIND IS MELTING RIGHT NOW

I know it's Buster than introduces Annyong to Maeby and George Michael, but I don't know if they directly speak to one another.

 

[Dereck]

Everyone looks like they haven't gained a pound, outstanding.

 

[tanuki]

When did Maeby become so hot? Why do I feel dirty?

Again, I wouldn't worry. These are just obvious marketing campaigns. For a show that's been off the air for years, of course they are going to try to get those people to watch again by making them remember the good times.

I appreciate the old jokes in the advertising.

Yeah, I remember loling that it only happened once. Can't remember the other place I heard it. Pretty strange.

I agree. The marketing is obviously banking on nostalgia, and Hurwitz has said on multiple occasions that they deliberately avoided a greatest hits fan pandering angle in the new season.

It wouldn't be surprising, more because Maeby had limited contact with everyone besides George Michael and her parents. She was really underused and her storylines were often completely separate from everyone else's.

you can’t touch your cousin— my cousin. You can’t...

I never noticed it, but you're right. Were there any scenes between her and George Sr.?

 

[Demoncarnotaur]

Omg, I love the posters.

 

[Boss Riovane]

This is how you advertise a show. I have never seen this much hype for a returning show in my 31 years on this planet. Thank you netflix. Maybe some of the big networks can take a cue from you guys.

 

[Iceman]

In prison (season 1). George Michael & Maeby wanted to know if George Sr had escaped.

for everyone who cares: you can get some nice AD ringtones over here: http://mattersofgrey.com/arrested-development-ringtones/

Thanks for this will now be waking up to Tobias and the fire...sale.

Alia Shawkat looks so different in the ad.

Hahaha. So many people will be confused by the ads.
It really only panders to the supporters of the show.

I think it's odd enough to catch the interest of passerbys that they might google and see, "Wow, this show got a lot of rave reviews. I'll have to look up an actual episode."
