 * [[And the Fandom Rejoiced]]: At the news of ten new episodes being released in preparation for [[The Movie]].
 * [[Audience-Alienating Premise]]: The show actually got a decent amount of support from the network, considering it lasted 3 years despite being rather expensive to produce. Some have theorized that FOX simply did not know how to effectively advertise the show, Emmy winning or not. It is basically about a family of egotistical yuppies where [[Only Sane Man|only one is sympathetic]], Michael, and the [[Unsympathetic Comedy Protagonist|rest are not]]. This was pointed out in the third season by Michael "Maybe we aren't as likeable as we think we are."
-* [[Better On DVD]]: or on [http://www.hulu.com/arrested-development Hulu], as it were. (And remember to pause whenever a newspaper or other text piece appears on screen -- there are always a couple of extra jokes thrown in).

 ** Watching the episodes in quick succession instead of an episode per week makes the countless [[Running Gag|running gags]] and [[Brick Joke|brick jokes]] funnier because the set-ups are fresh in the viewer's mind. The show is also made even more hilarious when you watch the first season and catch all the [[Foreshadowing]] of things you now know are to come.
 * [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]]: Lucille drinking Kitty under the table at Senor Tadpole's.

 * [[Ensemble Darkhorse]]: GOB and Tobias.
 * [[Fridge Brilliance]]: In both episodes featuring Maggie Lizer, the blind lawyer, it made no sense that she would often make eye contact with Michael. Then, it turns out  {{spoiler|she's not really blind!}}
-* [[Harsher in Hindsight]]: Lucille constantly calls Lindsay fat. It's treated negatively in universe, but it's still deeply uncomfortable to watch knowing that [[Portia De Rossi]] went public about her struggles with anorexia after the show ended.

 * [[Hilarious in Hindsight]]: Through [[Foreshadowing]] and jokes that soon enter the annals of Arrested Development's [[Running Gag|Running Gags]].
-** A good part of the humor in Lindsay and Tobias' relationship is that he's living in a [[Transparent Closet]]. In [[Real Life]], [[Portia De Rossi]] (who plays Lindsay) came out as a lesbian after the show ended.

 * [[Hollywood Homely]]: George-Michael's girlfriend Ann is often treated like this by Michael. While not particularly unattractive, she has a dowdy appearance and appears very unemotional and bizarre, failing to make any lasting impression on people.
 * [[Magnificent Bastard]]: Lucille.
