The Arrested Development meme universe stems from the critically acclaimed TV show centering on the dysfunctional Bluth family. The most popular templates include Michael Bluth opening a bag labeled 'Dead Dove: Do Not Eat' only to be disappointed, and GOB Bluth’s signature 'I’ve made a huge mistake' realization. These memes are used to represent moments of predictable failure, self-inflicted regret, or the realization that something was exactly as advertised yet still shocking. Since the show's debut in 2003, these scenes have become staple internet reactions for expressing relatable awkwardness and comedic irony.
