Good to finally meet Lana’s parents.

“Lana Anthony Kane!”  
“Ha ha. ‘Anthony’?”  
“After Susan B.”  
“Oh, right. Our ugliest President.”

“And that’s how they all died.”

“Can’t we, just once, have a poker night that doesn’t end in a hate crime?”

“…a child that’s probably on its way up to the roof so that Aunt Pam can swat at biplanes.”

“Reloading! …I should probably stop saying that out loud.”

“I wanna fly the train!”

“I’ll bet their anal probe technology is lightyears ahead of mine!”

I loved the nod to _The Shield_ in the parents’ names: Claudette (voiced by CCH Pounder, no less!), and Lemuel. 😃

Well, it’s official: “Gaping dickhole” has now entered my vocabulary. Thanks, Archer (you gaping dickhole).

Last night’s episode was the funniest this season!

“I think Ray deserves a hand!!”

…and Lana with her hair down…nom nom nom…

Last night’s episode was nonstop zinger, but Pam’s reaction when Mrs. Krieger went full on magical girl takes the cake;

“How do you not murder her every night?”  
“I _do_.”

That was a good episode. No one seems to care that’s not Krieger.

Poor Ray. They are totally messing with him.

Great episode - one continuous laugh! I do think that’s the real Krieger though. I think the bow tie Krieger is the clone.

“Just try it, Stumple Stillskin!”

I loved that joke. I also loved…

Ray: Chili is not breakfast!

Krieger: Technically anything is breakfast so long as it’s the first thing you eat when you wake up.

Pam: Oh well then Ray’s right.

I also really liked Archer’s remark of “Wow you’re strong…thank god I’m not a woman.” when Katya was forcibly removing his pants. That managed to be both hilarious and darkly poignant.

I loved last night’s tribute to MASH. “A show of hands - who thinks this is getting out of hand?”

Lana : “yeah, a fairy tale where the princess is drugged and kidnapped.”

Archer : “you realize that’s like, every fairy tale?”

I’m embarrased to admit, I didn’t (still don’t) get the joke.

Finally finished up the season - a definite improvement over the last one, I’d say. Nice to see them back to doing spy stuff. The _Fantastic Voyage_ spoof was pretty good.

Some favorite lines in recent episodes:

“There’s a bit of a time factor here, so as much as I’d like to spend the day _murdering_ all of you, I’m afraid we need to press on.”

“I decided to let Ray drive… with his racist robot monster hand!”

“She’s basically Groot.”

“Who are you, Josephine Stalin?”

“I shouldn’t even have yarn.”

“Oh, for the love of… ‘Randy Randleman’”?

“He’s had the clap so many times it’s more like applause.”

> I just wish I knew who Charles Frederick Andress was so that Cheryl’s “Who do you think I am?” joke made sense to me.

“Charles Fredric Andrus, a horticulturist at the USDA Vegetable Breeding Laboratory in Charleston, South Carolina, set out to produce a disease-resistant and wilt-resistant watermelon. The result, in 1954, was “that gray melon from Charleston”. Its oblong shape and hard rind made it easy to stack and ship. Its adaptability meant it could be grown over a wide geographical area. It produced high yields and was resistant to the most serious watermelon diseases: anthracnose and fusarium wilt.[40]” - Wikipedia

I love that she knows this guy’s name and not what color a watermelon is. Great joke!

That’s almost certainly due to his better known (and more relevant to the commercial) role in Bob’s Burgers.
