Arnett's two favorite episodes of the show were "Pier Pressure" and "Afternoon Delight" in a Los Angeles Times interview in 2006.

Arnett's distinctive gravelly voice has earned him voice-over work for CBS television commercials, film trailers, and numerous advertisements, including Lamisil medication. Arnett's voice is perhaps most recognizable in GMC trucks' commercials: "It's not more than you need, just more than you're used to." He has contributed to a variety of television shows, including Ghost Writer in 2005 Nickelodeon's animated program Freak Show, which was co-star David Cross and produced the voice of his Arrested Development co-star David Cross. Arnett was the announcer for the faux trailer "Don't" in the 2007 film Grindhouse, and he became the network announcer for Cartoon Network in October 2008 during its "Noods" period, replacing Greg Cipes.

He has appeared in animated films, including Vlad in Horton Hears a Who, The Missing Link in Monsters vs. Aliens, Horst the German sous-chef in Ratatouille and Mr. Perkins' Despicable Me. He had intended to be the voice of the K.I.T.T.T. Knight Rider, a sequel to the popular 1980s television show Knight Rider, is available in Universal's Knight Rider.

Devon Banks is the spokesman for a string of Hulu ads and his presence in television spots deliberately recalls him as a power-hungry manipulator. Arnett, along with Bateman and Sean Hayes, created SmartLess, a comedy and talk show podcast in July 2020.
