It’s explained in the article; Bryan’s the name of one of the “extras” they use to pad out of the background of scenes at ISIS. Apparently, the most popular one.

Very much so. Thanks, **Gangster**.

Recent good lines:

“Really?” “No, sarcastically!”

“I basically just lurch from one fireable offense to another.”

“I was going to go out with some friends, but I don’t know, it just sounds like it would be full of Negroes and jazz.”

“And why not get some wax for your cross while you’re at it?”

“Ray will become a cyborg over my dead body! But preferably his.”

So Krieger’s voice, and Ray’s face, is the creepy dungeon master from “Good Eats” ? (head explodes)

Not sure any of them really entirely fit any D&D-style alignments, but thanks - that’s cool!

I like the scene where Pam pointed a stapler at Archer. Archer draws his gun points it at her, and says “Pam, I will end you.” Talk about over reaction!

And my all-time favorite is Cheryl; “You’re not my supervisor!”

Yes, and now I have a serious crush on Cheryl.

Krieger arrives to dismember a body.  
“Is Krieger hard at work?”  
“He literally might be, yes.”

It’s a meme. And the rule is you have to fit everyone in each alignment, so it’s a ‘best fit’ situation.

I can’t believe we’re on page 4 and I get to use one that nobody’s said yet! (Providing I read as thoroughly as I think I have.)

Archer: Cry havoc and let slip the hogs of war.  
Lana: Dogs of war.  
Archer: Whatever farm animal of war, Lana! SHUT UP!
