Archer Season 4 thread

I now have a new go-to epithet for whiny, neo-hippie environmentalists:

"Lorax-blowing tree-hugger!"

North Korea, the short bus of nations. :smiley:

“Oh my god, she’s destroying the toilet!”

“Join the club.”

I think my favorite moments of this show are when Archer is just clearly having the time of his life in the middle of these huge action sequences. Every time he stops to giggle or WOO!! or comment on how awesome that just was, I crack up.

“They’re on a mission!”

“-ary position.”

Last night on Archer we learned that:[ul][li]Power blackouts are very refreshing.[/li][li]Without peppercorns, it’s not Steak au Poivre.[/li][li]North Korea is the nation-state equivalent of the short-bus.[/li][li]The glorious DPRK is not democratic, not a republic, and definitely not glorious.[/ul][/li]ARCHER: Since I started working at ISIS, I’ve been shot, stabbed, set on fire, poisoned, shot, sexually assaulted, partially chewed, shot, and declared legally dead! Twice on the same day!
LANA: You said “shot” like three times.
ARCHER: That’s just by you! Total it’s more like… holy shit, nineteen!

ARCHER; Do you have any idea how many times I’ve had to get out of handcuffs?!
LANA: Thank God you’ve been arrested so many times.
ARCHER: Arrested?

Random Van Cliburn reference just weeks after his death. (Pam getting massaged.)

North Koreans are worse shots than Imperial Stormtroopers.

“Tiger tranqs!”

Mousse.

No, not that kind.

It’s little drops like this that make me LOVE Archer rather than merely liking it.

Elk! Whatever.

I’m so glad I liked this episode! I thought I had simply stopped liking this show as much, but this episode cracked me up. It reminded me of the best of season two.

Yeah, this episode was just jam-packed. They’ve done the “switch the scene while finishing the line of dialogue” thing before, but pretty much every scene change had it this time. And I don’t think more than a few lines went by without a joke.

The greatest cut-off (imo) didn’t even involve a scene change. It’s when Lana was ranting about Archer’s nepotism before she fell off her suction cups. Paraphrased it went something like:

“And where would you be if you hadn’t conveniently crawled your way out of your… MOTHER (fucker)”

That’s just, like, by definition!

:smiley:

I miss the Pam who was an Human Resources director and tried to coax her co-workers into opening up via dolphin hand puppet. But then, I also like Cyril better when he was just the accounts guy and wasn’t part of every mission.

That said, I enjoyed the last two episodes. Hadn’t read the posts about the coyote episode until tonight since I missed that one and had to wait for it to hit the On Demand.

Well, the thing is ***nobody ***ever took Pam seriously as the HR rep. Just the opposite, they all made merciless fun of her both because of her weight and for her meaningless position (you could tell that the only reason the job even existed in the first place was federal regulations etc.). So as the show has progressed it kind of makes sense that she slowly stopped giving a shit about even pretending to do her real job since nobody else ever gave a shit either!

Apart from that there really isn’t much of a company left. The earlier seasons showed the ISIS offices full of nameless personnel, they are all gone now. Same with the satellite/tracking room, it slowly depopulated until it was just Bilbo, who is now gone too. I think the only people left at ISIS are the main characters, the guy who works at the armory and the guy who is constantly getting shot. Not a whole lot left for Pam to do in that situation.

I wonder how many episodes Piggley 3 has left. That glow definitely doesn’r bode well for his life expectancy.

Awwww…Pigley… :frowning:
