Genius. I’ve just been talking about catching up on Arrested Development, and this pushes me over the edge. I know what I’ll be watching this evening! And I’m not a great banana lover (gasp!), but I bet this would be great with strawberries too.
The Suzzzz says
Bwahahaha, that was awesome.
Billy says
SO GOOD YOU GUYS!!!
Nami | Just One Cookbook says
Hahahaha I love this post!!! You just made my Monday morning a little brighter!
Ralph Sciutti says
More please, may I please have some more. Wordless recipes that is. These are classic and much more fun than the long-winded variety. Still no sign of the AD CD’s BTW.
Irvin says
Wait, so are you calling my recipes long-winded?!? (just kidding, I know they are). I WOULD do more wordless recipes, but they are definitely a labor of love…. They are REALLY time consuming to create.
Sarah | The Cyclist's Wife says
Best. Post. Ever.
merri says
SO CUTE!! Love this! Also can’t wait for the new arrested development to start his weekend! 🙂
Casey@Good. Food. Stories. says
I think I just blue myself.
Irvin says
There really has got to be a better way to say that.
Ryan Franson says
Unbelievable. Bravo, sir.
Deanna Segrave-Daly says
You SHOULD be compensated for this so amazing, brilliant, creative, STEVE HOLT! super post. Love the little AR clues throughout and that’s a mighty tasty looking banana, I might say.
sarah says
Um… this is crazy awesome. We are having a big AD party this weekend, and I was going to make Bluth bananas – thanks for the recipe! So cool.
StacieTamaki says
OMFB. This post is hilarious! It may be my most favorite of all. This or the time you won the pie competition in SF. Love both of them best.

Stumbled on to this prepping for my own Arrested Development party…absolute genius. I will be sure to share this with the rest of my AD pals
Scott_D says
Oh my. I saw the whole series, but I’ve forgotten too much. Maybe I should re-watch before the new episodes.
Scott_D says
Oops. Forgot to say: awesome post.

Nik@ABrownTable says
This is absolutely hilarious, love, love, love!
Mandi says
You guys really hit it out of the park with this one. The increasing blue paint on the microwave was brilliant. LOVE this.
Irvin says
Why thank you! It’s funny, I actually wasn’t sure how to add an Arrested Development joke on those microwave photos so I shot them without the blue. Then I all of sudden thought of it, so I had to reshoot! So glad I did because it definitely makes me giggle every time I see the progression of the shots…
Anne Foster Coleman says
Just can’t stop giggling 🙂
Lorelai says
Just realized what I MUST make on Sunday – frozen bananas. Anything else would be a huge mistake. Sunday is going to be off-the-hook!
Irvin says
Thanks! Yes, I expect people across the country will be making frozen bananas! As you said, it would be a huge mistake if they didn’t… 😉
foodnerd4life says
Awesome props! Love the sluts and Tobias head shots. Great work – I know what I’m making this weekend!

jackie @ marin mama cooks says
I so got each and everyone one of these pictures and this post is hilarious. I’m going to show my whole family because we are addicted to Arrested Development. Hey did you know that Buster moved to the kitchen? That is still one of the funniest lines to me. Each photo in here is classic, I mean Buster’s hand holding the frozen banana, the blue paint all over the microwave, the frozen food in the freezer meant for the hot tub. You guys got it all down. Love it! I also love the photo of you both at the end posing as the blue men! Thanks for bringing a smile and few laughs to my Friday morning. This was the perfect way to start a Friday! xoxo, Jackie
Katrina @ In Katrina's Kitchen says
Banana sales are going UP this weekend! Irvin- I was laughing hysterically. The blue paint on the microwave- I die.
I’m afraid I just blue myself on what was supposed to be a dry run and now I have a bit of a mess on my hands!
Kimberly says
Absolutely Awesome! Will definitely need to make these. Not only for the new season of AD, but this is a great summer dessert!
Katie says
This post is so perfectly and ingeniously executed, down to every last detail. Amazing. And those bananas look tasty! I like the addition of the pistachios. 🙂
Kris says
This is the best.post.ever! Seriously genius. Seriously.
Valeria says
this is astonishingly good! i had a great fun –and will definitely make these!
Karen | Citrus and Candy says
Speaking as an A.D. geek, words can’t describe the sheer awesomeness of this post. Well played Irvin, well played.
Rachael says
Well done! And how apropos . . . just discovered your wonderful blog while looking for an awesome strawberry shortcake recipe, in between season 4 episodes of AD (I’m multitasking). I’ll be preparing the Suzanne-inspired Strawberry-Lemon Shortcake for a gathering tomorrow, binging on berries and Bluths for the remainder of the day.
Miachel (Spiced Curiosity) says
Hahaha, what a great ode to the late Banana Stand (and the whole series). 🙂
Samantha says
The details you put into this made it perfect. The blue on the microwave, the hook, the burned money, the shorts and the business cards… Amazing. Especially the analrapist card (that is my favorite thing Tobias has ever done, maybe…) I’m kind of sad to say I haven’t finished the 4th season yet. The first four episodes were sort of slow and boring for me. Did it get better? I would love the hear your thoughts on it!
Angela Gilmore says
This is so amazing! I just found your blog today from searching for pictures of foodgawker rejects, because I too have been rejected numerous times. I’m glad I found you!
Samantha Samonte says
I LOVE THIS! It actually feels like watching a silent film or somethin. Anyway i would like to know how long you can have em out? do they melt later on or do you need to keep them cool all the time? Im working on a Portable Food Recipe story and would really like to include this in it.
Sugar Jones says
Oh my god, Irvin, you are AWESOME!!!!!
Jeannette says
Seriously. Best. Post. Ever. I’m dying. And I have the insatiable need to watch AD.
Kat says
Pure. Dead. Brilliant. Yeah, I know I am 2 years late in discovering this post.
Meghan says
I know this is post is a couple of years old, but I just found it today…and it is AMAZING! I will actually use this recipe, soon! … Just a word of caution: If those are real $20 bills in that one photo, you might want to be careful about sharing this recipe around too much. You could end up having to pay a fine and/or spend time in prison for defacing legal currency.
Irvin says
Hi Meghan! Thanks for your concern but that is definitely NOT real money. I’m too poor to actually burn real money!
