I dithered between picking Archer or Krieger and finally settled on Krieger, but it’s definitely between those two. Not surprisingly they are in the lead!

No wee baby Seamus? I actually like Pam. I’m convinced she’s a mercenary savant. And apparently she’s amazing in bed!

I agree with the results of this poll. Krieger is my favorite Archer character not named Archer.
Malory: \*Is Krieger hard at work? \*
Archer: \*He literally might be. \*

Sterling is like water, essential. Krieger is like ice cream, your favorite treat.

Cheryl: So, Krieger’s a doctor.
Cyril: Not the medical kind!
Krieger: Not even the other kind… technically.
Archer, Krieger, Archer, Krieger…gonna go with Archer…hooray!

Tough decision; obviously Archer is the most important character but what makes the show so damn entertaining is Krieger, Carol et al, and Pam. In the end I had to go with Carol because she’s so unpredictable and, while I forget the exact words she said to Kreiger when he dialed down his choking machine, it was something like “I wasn’t saying back off!”.

She’s a moped. Fun to ride but you don’t want your friends to see you on it. Archer is my favorite character but Pam is my favorite member of the supporting cast.
Bear claws! Mrrrrgggggg!

Krieger: Press that red button.
Archer: Is it going to kill everyone?
Krieger: Press that blue button.

I voted Pam, if only because Archer cheats.
I doubly love Pam because she’s very, very clearly designed by somebody attracted to fat women (or at least very aware OF people attracted to fat women), because she’s frequently drawn like a BBW pinup.
Archer’s a show that actually recognizes that not everybody has the _same_ adolescent fantasies. Whee.

I voted for Lana.
Sexiest animated character ever. Blows Jessica Rabbit out of the water.
YYUUUP!!

As I’ve said in another thread: Cheryl, as she’s just so nuts. I love in the space ep where they’re behind the Mithril/Admantium door (I loved that bit), sure no one can get at them, and Cheryl just opens it. And 3 seasons in, Archer **still** doesn’t know her name.

**Cheryl** : “What are you doing?”
**Krieger** : “I thought you said ‘start slacking off’?!”
**Cheryl** : “Not _slacking_ off!”

Thanks for finding the exact quote - that exchange just epitomizes _Archer_ for me (plus of course “M as in Mancy”).
