I literally thought I would die laughing at the hallucinations. God, this show has gotten so consistently great.

So awesome that she immediately knows what Archer is looking for, and then getting into an argument over how invisible a Predator is.

"Serpentine, Babu! SERPENTINE!"

"Lana!!! Lana!!!  HE REMEMBERS MEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!"  Jesus, I almost pissed myself.

So... I was really hoping that Cyril would turn out decent as an agent, but looks like this episode makes him a putz again. I love the call back to Cheryl being a train millionaire. The gas lamps and antique phone cracked me up.

 

"All of it you fox-eared bastard!"

 

Plus, who doesn't love that ISIS gets kicked out of Canada...forever.

Fixed.

Whoops. I was at school while posting, so my brain auto-corrected into something more acceptable.

post #108 of 187

Cyril was reading Three-Ten to Yuma, perfect.

"Serpentine, Babou!"

post #110 of 187

"It makes the Mach 5 look like a VAGINA!!"

 

Archer acting like a total 5-year-old on Christmas Day over his new ride was awesome.

 

("...I'll have you know Corinth is FAMOUS for its leather.")

post #111 of 187

Yeah, not the greatest episode, but a very solid one. I love how Jon Benjamin has been able to really mine a lot of comedy out of Archer regressing to childhood excitement, and Pam remains one of the show's best characters.

 

Plus, George Takei as a Yakuza boss!

post #112 of 187

It's like looking into the face of God...

Hold on, I'm going to take a drink of this and then do a spit take on you.

Everyone here knows that "Corinthian leather" is a made-up marketing ploy, right? 

 

 

It makes the joke better.

"Dammit, I only had two more payments left!"

post #116 of 187

Last night's was absolutely brilliant. Some of the best writing of the season, especially for Malory.

post #117 of 187

"dedildo" needs to be added to the dictionary so I can use it in Words with friends.

post #118 of 187

That may have been the most twisted episode the show has done (seriously, the reveal that Sterling spends his Friday nights throwing flour on a half-nude Woodhouse was about the 7th most disturbing thing here), and consequently, my favorite ever.  God, a dash of Krieger just makes everything, particularly bodily dismemberment and freakish sexual perversions, go down smooth. 

 

"And I need your help disseminating him."

"EEEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWW!!!"

"Not what that means."

"Still pretty gross, though."

post #119 of 187

Krieger's throaty "Thaaank you" after being told the body was all his was amazing. And his shaking of the tube with his "prize" inside. And "You might want to wash your lips."

 

But my favorite exchange:

 

"Is Krieger hard at work in there?"

 

"He might literally be."

Pretty sure that was delousing powder. Which makes it funnier/grosser.

I think you're right, aside from the bags saying "flour" sitting on the floor next to Woodhouse in the scene. 

post #122 of 187

There is so much greatness in this episode, from the Tiny Tim, the backdoor intruder, WWII history, and the thinly disguised Silvio Berlusconi. Was anyone hoping that "Sh-boom" would start playing so we could round out the Clue references?

post #123 of 187

Not the hugest fan of the episode overall, really - I didn't think it started cooking until the gang showed up. 

 

 

And the dinner party was fantastic, mainly because there's a dead body in the house and the police at the door, OF COURSE you'd re-create a drunken Algonquin round table scene. I kinda wish the detective had questioned why Mallory has a middle American accent while her son has a dubious British upper class accent...that disappears from time to time. 

 

My favorite gag may have been the "they don't have a king. What year do you think this is?" "Exactly. Good question." 

post #124 of 187

Judy Greer's accent in this episode is proof that God exists, and sometimes He lets funny people do completely fucking silly things.

Wasn't it "You say potato, I say podildo"?

 

Also liked "Every time we come to your house we're disposing of a body!"

 

"You've only been here twice..."

Sploosh.

"You drank too much!"

 

"That's a thing?"

 

I'm kinda shocked that a show this funny is getting a fourth season.

For all we know they're in there building a Gundam suit with rocket launchers for arms.

post #132 of 187

Trixie playing Janelle?  Very nice.

post #133 of 187

Not as good as last week's, but this was still pretty solid:

 

-I love how Michael Rooker's casting throws us off; you totally expect his character to be a corrupt hick because, well, it's Michael Rooker. But no, we get a nice twist on the whole trope, and looking back his performance reflects that from the beginning.

 

-Jack McBrayer and Paula Malcomson were solid gold in their roles, though I can't help but wonder if Paula is getting tired of being cast as promiscuous Southern women.

 

-I nearly howled at the reveal when Cheryl/Carol poked her head into the front seat. Her actions in the rest of the episode (insisting that the marriage didn't count since it hadn't been "consummated", snapping a rooster's neck, shaving it, cauterizing Janelle's tiny scratch, pouring down as much moonshine as Archer) did not disappoint.

 

-"You drank too much!" "That's a thing?" Yes, Archer, it's called alcoholism. Which you pretty much have.

 

-Jon Benjamin's giggling, high-pitched "Phrasing!" slayed me.

 

-Amber Nash needs to be in everything. She didn't get much this week, but her of delivery of "Hello there, game-changer" was one of the best in the episode.

 

-I adore how Malory's yell of "LAAAAAAANNNNNNNNA!" at the end is very similar to how Archer screams it sometimes.

 

-That verse in the Bible Randy was talking about? Turns out that's a verse that basically says "Sleep with your dead brother's wife so she can procreate". Though, as Archer jokingly points out in the episode, this is of course open to interpretation....

post #134 of 187

Line I caught on rewatching the birthday ep - when Woodhouse uses the cleaner to mace Archer, he says, "Sorry sir, but you went all Bilbo-y."

post #135 of 187

I rewatched the beginning of this episode just because of how rapid fire it was.  I loved Archer yelling at Ray on the ladder and mentioning that Ray was wearing "What better not be my night vision goggles!".  As Ray is responding he removes and hides them without saying a word.

 

Also, "Sarcasm!  Because apparently we're announcing it whenever we use it now!"

post #136 of 187

Best ep of the season, I think. 

 

Highlight for me was the absolute randomness of Ray NOT being paralyzed - "I couldn't get a cab so I got back in the chair." 

 

 

"The city is FULL of them...you knows." 

 

"Yep, we DO have a lot them." 

post #137 of 187

It's going to take a hell of a lot to oust the dead Prime Minister from "best of the season" for me*, but this was a fun one despite a disinct lack of Krieger.  I'd actually like to see more of the holler, so if they could finagle a return trip that would be aces.  Only next time get Walton Goggins to do a voice for God's sake.

 

 

*Judy Greer's "EllllllllllllEGahnt DEEEEEEINNNNER paaaaht-eeee" accent is one of those things that I still laugh just thinking about a week later

post #138 of 187

"Shut up....food."

 

"Dan Lather"

 

Excellent episode.

So... Archer is wearing a Team Pam Racing hat.

I want one of those hats. I'd wear it around NASCAR folks.....

Archer is definitely on TEAM PAM now.   This show keeps getting better.

post #144 of 187

I think the voice mail gag is the greatest recurring gag.

Pam is the best:

 

150 gallons of Pam's hot, dirty, ball-slapping...

 

You make me sound like some Chupacabra... but for dicks.

 

C'mon, you were pushing rope!

 

and Crazy Barry

"Come at me, bro!" = me laughing like a fucking drain.

post #146 of 187

Barry was never my favorite character, but I really like how they are portraying his insanity so casually, just slipping from his cheerful demeanor into out-and-out craziness for brief moments.

There's a lot of pathos in Barry's story....pathos which you don't feel because he's such a douchebag.

The AV Club write-up basically expresses both these ideas. I am lukewarm on the character, but thought it hit just the right notes in this episode. I also have to agree with the Pam love the write-up gives. She is a walking Midwestern bacchanalia who enjoys bum fighting, drift racing, grafitti art, the works of Lord Byron, and makes a good hostage. Even episodes where she has few lines, like the "Game Changer" bit, and character and make me laugh.

"One drawback to track suits...no pockets."

 

I love how since he was turned into essentially the Six Million Dollar Man, he now wears nothing but the track suit.  Here are the Russian KGB guys in their uniforms, and Barry in his track suit.

"It's 'Y,Y, Zed', and no, Neil Peart stands alone."
