Lantern7 August 10, 2015 Share August 10, 2015 With reruns being aired twice a week on Comedy Central, I thought an all-inclusive thread should be set up . . . especially with "Sea Tunt" getting aired tomorrow night. There are too many quotes and scenes for me to remember now, so I'll leave it to you guys to start, How about this: "'Git in mah big ole vagina! I'm Lana!'" Link to comment
OnceSane August 10, 2015 Share August 10, 2015 Here's one of my favorite quotes of the whole series, brought to us by Cheryl/Carol: "Please! If you really cared, you'd resign, but there's no way you ever will because you're just counting days until--her face bloated and yellow from liver failure--she calls you to her deathbed and, in a croaky whisper, explains that Mr. Archer is totally incompetent and that you, the long suffering Lana Kane, are the only one qualified to run ISIS and you weep shameful tears because this terrible place is the only love you will ever know." Pam's face during this is amazing. Oh, excuse me, I mean…A-MAAAA-ZING!! 1 Link to comment
Lantern7 August 18, 2015 Author Share August 18, 2015 And Cheryl didn't even know she was saying that out loud. "Archer Vice" kicks off now on Comedy Central. I'll always dig "White Elephant" because I got a preview of that at NYCC 2013. I wonder what happened to all the office drones that weren't in the main cast. Aside from Brett, who wound up dying as he lived: getting shot. 1 Link to comment
Lantern7 September 14, 2015 Author Share September 14, 2015 Heads up . . . Comedy Central will be running an Archer marathon from 6:18 p.m. through 11 p.m. And it case you were upset that CC skipped over "Heart of Archness" last Friday night . . . they'll be running it starting at 7:22. In case you never saw it . . . Archer becomes a pirate king, and he didn't even need to find the One Piece to do it. </animegeek> ETA: The marathon ends with the two-part "Palace Intrigue," which closes "Archer Vice." ETA2: I forgot "Palace Intrigue" was a three-parter. My bad. Link to comment
Princess Sparkle September 28, 2015 Share September 28, 2015 I think my favorite/most quotable episode is still "Lo Scandalo". Not only is it the birth of the "fancy dinner party voices", there are so many lines in there that just kill me: Archer: I have a question, Mother. Why does this chair have no seat? And WHAT... IS IN HIS ASS?! Mother! What is in his ass?!Malory: Oh, please. Don't act like you've never seen a "marital aid" before.Archer: Not in a dead prime minister's ass!Malory: And you can stop repeating that! We've established where it is! Archer: Self-defense, Mother! It's your only shot! We'll have to uncuff him and "de-dildo" him, obviously. Smash up the furniture like he was chasing you all rapey. Fortunately, he's Italian so that shouldn't be too hard to sell. Cyril: I hate all of you so much.Ray: No one cares, Figgis. You're only here to round out the numbers. I also like the entire run in Bloody Ferlin about Ray's brother exclusively pronouncing NYC as "Neeeeeew York City" and that Ray's cover story was that he was an interior decorator, which his brother interprets to mean that Ray's swimming in women. 3 Link to comment
Lantern7 December 29, 2015 Author Share December 29, 2015 Checking out the show's first season on Comedy Central. Saw Archer talking to Krieger without the techie even saying anything. Now that's an old episode. After "Training Day" is "Diversity Hire." Conway Stern! Cheryl as Cristal! Link to comment
kittykat February 24, 2016 Share February 24, 2016 Checking out the show's first season on Comedy Central. Saw Archer talking to Krieger without the techie even saying anything. Now that's an old episode. After "Training Day" is "Diversity Hire." Conway Stern! Cheryl as Cristal! Yeah it takes a few episodes for the show to decide where it's going with its characters. The first two especially show Pam as a more straight-laced HR rep and Cheryl/Carol as a Moneypenny-lite who fawned over Archer. The show hit its stride better once their stranger (or in Cheryl's case psychotic) sides showed. And Krieger and Ray only show up a few episodes in the first season. I think Ray's first big scene is "Skytanic" when they're trying to disable the bomb (M as in Mancy!) Link to comment

Kel Varnsen April 9, 2016 Share April 9, 2016 Yeah it takes a few episodes for the show to decide where it's going with its characters.

I think Ray's first big scene is "Skytanic" when they're trying to disable the bomb (M as in Mancy!) As far as the show hitting its stride i would also add that it was once they decided that Sterling really was the world's most dangerous spy, a super competent badass who had trouble with missions because he was hilariously self-absorbed (and also an alcoholic). They could have easily made him a bumbling idiot who just got the job because of his mom. Link to comment
Lantern7 May 17, 2016 Author Share May 17, 2016 Bumping up because there's been a lot of talk about past episodes in the current episode thread. Link to comment
Morrigan2575 May 23, 2016 Share May 23, 2016 Can someone explain the whole Carol/Cheryl thing? i thought her name was Cheryl but Archer was such a careless/arrogant ass that he couldn't be bothered to learn her real name and kept screwing up by calling her Carol. However, some recent episodes/scenes have me confused because others started calling her Carol. Is it just a running gag now? Did i miss some explanation? Link to comment

If I remember right, the running joke is that she keeps on changing her name because she is basically a rich sociopathic socialite (in one of the earlier seasons, either in 2 or 3, it is revealed that she is one heiress to a massive fortune that her great-grandfather was a massive railroad tycoon/baron). I believe in the first episode she was called, "Carol" then she demanded that everyone call her "Cheryl" and that stuck. Although, during Season 5 she had her mind reprogram (and I think it was by her own consent) to a country singer and she was then called, "Charlene". Whatever is her real is doesn't matter because she is so batshit crazy that she keeps on changing her name to something else. Edited May 23, 2016 by TVSpectator 1 Link to comment
PinkRibbons May 23, 2016 Share May 23, 2016 (edited) I'm pretty positive that she was born Cheryl, because that's what her brother calls her. (That and "Beans".) She legally changed it to Carol after Archer wouldn't stop calling her that, and ever since she seems to answer to either of those two names. (The other names she tried out, like Carina and Cristal, didn't seem to stick.) I think she's only called Carol by Archer, Mallory and Lana on occasion.

snarktini August 27, 2016 Share August 27, 2016 What pops into my head at the most random times is the one on the train with the ocelot: SERPENTINE, BABOU! 3 Link to comment
Lantern7 February 11, 2017 Author Share February 11, 2017 Heads Up: If you missed the seventh season and couldn't find repeats, Comedy Central will be airing them from 10-11 p.m. Monday nights. Link to comment
Ikki February 26, 2018 Share February 26, 2018 I'm currently binge watching the show for the first time on Netflix. I'm near the end of season four right now. One of my favorite bits of characterization is how much Archer loves (most) animals. Whenever an animal shows up, I get excited for him to interact with it. Link to comment
Lantern7 April 26, 2018 Author Share April 26, 2018 (edited) FXX airs the season opener twice tonight, followed by two classics from the first season: "Honeypot" (the one where Archer tries to get a man interested in him) and "Skorpio" (the one with Lana and Archer in danger, and the rest of the gang hanging out at Krieger's Fort Kickass).

Jordan61 June 9, 2018 Share June 9, 2018 (edited) I was hoping they would show the Bastard Chef episode tonight, and they did. RIP Anthony Bourdain. Edited June 9, 2018 by Jordan61 1 Link to comment
Lantern7 June 9, 2018 Author Share June 9, 2018 That might have been a coincidence. Now I'm dreading a news organization doing an obituary, ending with the sound of a bowl rattling on the floor. Maybe followed by Ron breaking out the crackers. 1 Link to comment
