Oh! Ok. I missed that one completely. Never heard it before. Don’t the Brits use ‘Nancy’ in a similar way?
Did you mean “Mancy”?
I didn’t like this episode at all, for the same reasons I didn’t like the previos one: something was just missing, though still not sure what that something is (chemistry of character interaction?).
But, STILL looking forward to the next one!
I thought this one was stronger than the first episode but the season openers are always a little shaky in my opinion.
Agreed. Season 2 in particular seemed slightly meh for the first couple of episodes despite the individual awesome lines. But at some point it just kicked into high gear. So far season 3 is following a similar pattern for me - but since the awesome one-liners keep coming it is still a highly entertaining meh, to the point of not really being meh ;).
Once again, Krieger had some of the best moments:
“First of all, it’s DOCTOR I’ll Solve Your Ant Problem. Second of all…here’s your refund.”
Also (regarding the season opener), since my wife had never heard of Bob’s Burgers, that whole schtick was lost on her. Since I had heard of it but only ever watched a couple episodes, the whole thing felt like an increasingly tedious tie-in commercial whenever they’d bring it up.
[Edit: I’m sure this came up in last week’s thread but I missed that one since I was avoiding the one-liner spoilers.]
Nitpick… Season 4 :).
But yes, the scene at the end is great. I would have loved to seen a scene with Kreger actually having ant strength though (like lifting the tree off the other agent or something)
Yep, I brought it up in last weeks thread. Only after seeing a commercial for Bob’s Burgers during the Archer episode did I realize that Archer was dressed up like Bob; and his family matched the family from the show too. To top it all off, I then didn’t find out until about 3 or 4 days later that the actor who voices Bob is the same actor who voices Archer.
I agree this season has had a slow start, but I thought all the previous seasons were strong out of the gate: Mole Hunt, Swiss Miss, and Heart of Archness all still crack me up.
I actually liked the first episode better than this one. I don’t watch Bob’s Burgers, but I appreciated the A History of Violence parody in Ep 1. This one fell a little flat, but it’s still Archer.
