Vulture / nymag.com // Check Out ‘Arrested Westeros,’ a Bluth-Stark Families Mash-Up Tumblr Arrested Development meets Game of Thrones, because when you love two television shows very, very much, you make a Tumblr with images from one and captions from the other.
io9 // Game of Thrones Scenes + Arrested Development quotes = Pure Magic / Well, this is why the internet exists. At the blog Arrested Westeros, Emily Hummel assiduously teases out the parallels between the scheming factions of Game of Thrones and the Bluth clan of Arrested Development by slapping dysfunctional dialogue of the latter on top of the former. The results synchronize delightfully.
Entertainment Weekly // ‘Game of Thrones’ best fan Tumblrs, from Arrested Westeros to Joffrey Bieber / Arrested Development quotes + Game of Thrones stills = comedy gold…come on, how perfect is the post that mashes up a behanded Jaime with a behanded Buster?
Splitsider // Why Arrested Development and Game of Thrones Are Perfect Together / Emily Hummel, the creator of Arrested Westeros has, whether she realized it or not, hit on a fundamental truth about comedy here…Arrested quotes [are] funnier when you put them in context, but we didn’t realize just how dark and twisted that context was. In showcasing that darkness, Arrested Westeros takes something impossibly funny and somehow makes it even funnier. I can’t wait to see what hilarious revelations Season 2 brings.
The A.V. Club (and a second time!) // Honestly, if those people who run the Game Of Thrones/Arrested Development mash-up site don’t caption every screencap of Sansa from that scene where she’s watching Joffrey punish the would-be jester with “I’ve made a huge mistake,” they are FALLING DOWN ON THE JOB. / By the way, if you haven’t checked out Arrested Westeros yet, you really should.

Salon // I’m calling it: best Tumblr of the year. But why can’t it work the other way around? I’d love to see Lucille Bluth with the headline “Winter is coming.”
Sky Atlantic // The Best Game of Thrones Mashups / the blog “Arrested Westeros” takes amusing quotes from the cult show Arrested Development, and makes them relevant to Game of Thrones. Favourites include Gob’s magic, Buster’s pillow and the “loose seal”.
Unreality Magazine // Game of Thrones might be off the air for nine months, but as one last hurrah for the series, enjoy this amazing site…Working on the internet full time, you become immune to things that are “virally funny” as it were, but this marks the first time I’ve laughed out loud at something I’ve found in a long while. The quotes match up so well, and the scenes are chosen so expertly, I can’t remember seeing a better mash-up. [and more recently: Another Round of Greatness from Arrested Westeros]
Cinema Blend // Sure, it’s too early just one season in to proclaim that Game of Thrones is of the caliber of an Arrested (or even The Wire) but the good people over at Arrested Westeros decided to combine them anyway. Yes, another meme factory but this one I like (and I don’t like many).
