MEET THE FAMILY

Our roots run deep.
Our issues, deeper.

The Bluths have always believed in family, opportunity, and somebody else handling the paperwork.

PLEASE ADDRESS ALL COMPLAINTS TO

Mr. Manager.

George Michael Bluth

Keeper of the register. Enforcer of the posted prices. The young man holding this entire operation together between school and increasingly awkward family conversations.

He takes the title seriously. He takes GOB’s requests for a free double dip less seriously.

DOUBLE DIP. NO FREEBIES.
LEADERSHIP IS A STRONG WORD.

Your management team.

M

Michael

ACTING RESPONSIBLE PERSON

Keeps the stand running. Keeps saying he’s leaving. Still needs a reminder that George Michael’s girlfriend is named Ann. “Her?”

G

GOB

EXPERIENTIAL BRAND STRATEGY

Experience: the Alliance of Magicians. References: carefully guarded. You cannot reveal a magician’s secrets or you get blackballed. Has prepared a spectacular product reveal. The budget has not been approved.

T.W.

Tony Wonder

ALLIANCE OF MAGICIANS · RIVAL MAGICIAN

GOB’s chief rival, occasional collaborator, and the reason nobody is allowed to discuss the trick. A magician never reveals his secrets. Reveal one and you get blackballed.

L

Lucille

UNREQUESTED EXECUTIVE OVERSIGHT

Believes a plain banana costs $10. Chocolate would presumably require financing. Extremely clear on what everyone else is doing wrong.

B

Buster

ASSISTANT TO THE FAMILY

“Hey, brother.” Dated Lucille 2. Still answers to Lucille 1. Enthusiastic about juice. Once faked a coma to avoid testifying. Availability should be checked very carefully.

G.S.

George Sr.

FOUNDER · CURRENTLY CONSULTING

Pop Pop to the grandchildren. Founder on the paperwork. Requests that all questions about the original banana stand go through counsel.

T

Tobias

GOBIAS INDUSTRIES · DRESS CODE CONSULTANT

Actor. Never nude. Co-founder of Gobias Industries with GOB. Business plan: still brewing. Dress code: denim cutoffs, always. There are dozens of them.

O

Oscar

DEFINITELY NOT GEORGE

George Sr.’s twin. Has a surprisingly personal interest in Buster’s upbringing. Would like everyone to stop confusing him with Pop Pop. Has a website about it.

A

Annyong

FAMILY HISTORY · HOSTILE AUDIT

Usually says “Annyong.” Has considerably more to say about his grandfather’s banana stand. Management would prefer he stick to the greeting.

THE COMPANY VALUES

Quality ingredients.
Unclear boundaries.

At the end of the day, we’re still a family.
Our accountant has asked us to stop saying that.
