Title: Archer Post by: Yegolev on January 22, 2010, 06:34:28 AM Spiritual successor to Frisky Dingo. I was wary. I also wanted Adam Reed to do Archer's voice even though I like Jon Benjamin. However, Benjamin works and the writing is intact. I say it is good after two episodes.
Title: Re: Archer Post by: HaemishM on January 22, 2010, 08:57:25 AM The pilot episode kind of fell flat to me - maybe because it felt like I'd already seen all the joke. But based on my love of Frisky Dingo, I stuck with it. It's starting to hit its stride now. I watched last night's episode with my wife this morning. I loved it. She made this face :ye_gods: all through it.
Title: Re: Archer Post by: Johny Cee on January 22, 2010, 09:54:21 AM I was about to make a topic for this. Stop reading my mind!
I loved Sealab, Frisky Dingo, and Jon Benjamin (Coach McGirk in Home Movies). Premiere was so-so, but the followups have been wonderful. There's usually a couple classic lines per episode... like the hooker/call girl definition. Edit: Karate? The Dane Cook of martial arts? Title: Re: Archer Post by: Threash on February 19, 2010, 03:55:46 PM This show gets funnier every week, i had to rewind the blimp episode several times because i was laughing too hard.
Title: Re: Archer Post by: caladein on February 22, 2010, 08:04:07 PM Just caught the first three episodes on Hulu and really love it so far. Office humor of most any type usually drives me up walls, but the exchanges are zany and short enough that they work for me.

It is fairly entertaining. And ya, the blimp episode, funny stuff.

Title: Re: Archer Post by: Margalis on March 25, 2011, 07:18:57 PM This season has been weak so far IMO, but the last 2 episodes were much better.
I wish they would give Judy Greer's character more to do. I love Judy Greer! Even in utter garbage like Jawbreaker and The Curse she's awesome. But she might as well not even be in Archer. Title: Re: Archer Post by: Surlyboi on March 26, 2011, 08:40:31 AM Are you kidding? She had the throwaway line of the episode with, "Casablumpkin".
Don't get me started with her rubber cement eating a few eps back. She's on a slow burn to something really insane. Title: Re: Archer Post by: HaemishM on March 26, 2011, 09:22:46 AM Are you kidding?

And whatever that show is they have coming with Frodo might be good too. I am very intrigued by Wilfred. That looks like it's either going to be darkly hilarious, or completely awful. Overall, FX really has a good record with original programming.... Sons of Anarchy and Damages, the first 4 seasons or so of Rescue Me, even Terriers and Lights Out were getting some rave reviews even if no one was watching them.

Yeah FX has good shows, but my favorite, Rescue Me, jumped the shark when Gavin went back on the sauce. Fuck that shit, those story lines have been done to death already.

Archer had alot of great lines this episode: "What is this, a broken glass factory?" "How is this happy fun time?" "What is this, a soldier factory?" Also, while dismissive of everyone else, he tries to hit on EVERY woman he runs into.... even the old blue-haired ladies. The first season seems to be on sale everywhere now... picked it up for $10. Rewatching the season, there are some nice background jokes that I missed the first time. Title: Re: Archer Post by: Yegolev on April 22, 2011, 08:57:46 PM "HOW IS RUSSIA A SUPERPOWER?!"

Love the amount of details, like the babou patch on the jacket :D
Title: Re: Archer Post by: Threash on January 15, 2014, 12:06:52 PM That montage at the end of the last episode would've been so much funnier if it wasn't just Archers imagination.
Title: Re: Archer Post by: HaemishM on January 15, 2014, 12:43:18 PM That montage at the end of the last episode would've been so much funnier if it wasn't just Archers imagination. Have you seen the trailer for next week's show? It's actually titled "Archer Vice" and looks to be some of the stuff that happened in that trailer. I think that montage may actually turn out to be accurate. AND AWESOME. Title: Re: Archer Post by: Surlyboi on January 15, 2014, 01:18:34 PM The montage was real.
Basically, the writers got bored of the spy story and turned Isis into a cartel this season. http://www.thewire.com/entertainment/2014/01/archer-no-longer-about-spies-because-writers-got-bored/356787/ Title: Re: Archer Post by: tazelbain on January 15, 2014, 01:23:02 PM I guess that explains what happen to Frisky Dingo too.
Title: Re: Archer Post by: Yegolev on January 15, 2014, 01:24:56 PM Well, let's face it: it was going to get boring or too weird to hold itself together, and I think Reed is onto something. This is very interesting, especially to someone that is a SeaLab and Frisky Dingo fan.
Title: Re: Archer Post by: Yegolev on January 15, 2014, 01:28:48 PM I just figured out that Alton Brown knows Lucky Yates, so I'm possibly going to appear in the news this year.
Title: Re: Archer Post by: HaemishM on January 15, 2014, 03:05:01 PM I guess that explains what happen to Frisky Dingo too. That is such a shame, because Frisky Dingo was one of my most favorite shows ever. Though Archer Vice looks like it is going to absolutely kick tons of ass. Title: Re: Archer Post by: Miasma on January 16, 2014, 09:43:41 AM The way they opened the episode allows them to say the whole season was just a dream sequence if they want to go back to normal next season.
Title: Re: Archer Post by: Merusk on January 16, 2014, 10:28:23 AM I was expecting someone different to die. I got a chuckle but it was a joke that outlived its humor so I was glad they ended it.
I'm disappointed that FX continues to not offer these on some sort of streaming so I have to pirate them now that I don't have cable. Title: Re: Archer Post by: rattran on January 16, 2014, 10:54:32 AM I'd prefer to pirate them. Soooooo many commercials.
Title: Re: Archer Post by: Setanta on January 16, 2014, 01:34:22 PM I only just started watching the series - bought S1 an S2 on iTunes but S3 is $50 Aud and I'm not sure I am going to pay for it. No season 4 on iTunes either and no streaming straight after US release like GoT or Walking Dead makes me wonder what they are thinking. While the first two seasons are cheap-ish, I might wait for the rest to go to DVD bargain bins.
Love the series though. Title: Re: Archer Post by: Raguel on January 22, 2014, 04:20:04 PM This week's episode may be the first Archer I didn't like. Hopefully Carol's career move makes things a bit more interesting.
Title: Re: Archer Post by: Lakov_Sanite on January 22, 2014, 05:23:48 PM Cheryl. :oh_i_see:
Title: Re: Archer Post by: Rendakor on January 22, 2014, 05:31:22 PM I didn't care for this one either, and the first of the season wasn't great (a spoilery montage at the end of the episode was entirely unnecessary).
Title: Re: Archer Post by: Abagadro on January 22, 2014, 06:50:20 PM Coke-Pam is the best Pam.
Title: Re: Archer Post by: Merusk on January 22, 2014, 07:20:08 PM Cheryl. :oh_i_see: Whatever! I agree this one was pretty weak, but I also don't know exactly what they were riffing on. The whole hot tub rehash really made me think that it was some plot from Miami Vice or another cop drama, thus the final "Stuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuupid plan" line. The in-jokes and one-offs were still pretty spot-on. Title: Re: Archer Post by: Abagadro on January 22, 2014, 07:21:24 PM Well, the show is now called Archer Vice so that should be a clue.
Title: Re: Archer Post by: HaemishM on January 22, 2014, 07:30:40 PM Coke-Pam is the best Pam. This. She was KILLING it. Title: Re: Archer Post by: Merusk on January 23, 2014, 09:49:09 AM Well, the show is now called Archer Vice so that should be a clue. It is, which is why I cited MV, but I never watched the show so I'm left in the cold for a reference while being in my late 30s. I can't imagine what the millenials think. Title: Re: Archer Post by: Phildo on January 23, 2014, 12:45:36 PM "It's totally like GTA: Vice City"?
Title: Re: Archer Post by: Abagadro on January 23, 2014, 04:55:21 PM I sometimes forget how ancient I am. Luckily Adam Reed is the same age.
Title: Re: Archer Post by: Threash on January 28, 2014, 12:00:48 PM This episode was much much better. Cheryl/Carol is knocking it out of the park, Krieger Ray and Woodhouse are basically getting ignored now. Anyone else notice coked up Pam is losing weight?
Title: Re: Archer Post by: HaemishM on January 28, 2014, 12:02:45 PM "SHUT YOUR DICK TRAP!!" :why_so_serious:
Title: Re: Archer Post by: Nerf on February 03, 2014, 02:29:49 PM "SHUT YOUR DICK TRAP!!" :why_so_serious: The bit between Ron and Pam was even better: "I'm so bored, there's nothing to ever do" "HAVE YOU TRIED COCAINE!!?!" Title: Re: Archer Post by: Abagadro on February 03, 2014, 05:16:30 PM Anyone else notice coked up Pam is losing weight? Eating amphetamines by the handful probably helped with that.

Title: Re: Archer Post by: HaemishM on February 05, 2014, 09:22:42 AM The Pam character is just hitting it out of the fucking park this season. And we finally got to see more Krieger.
"On the other hand, tits." Title: Re: Archer Post by: Abagadro on February 05, 2014, 05:53:31 PM Archer's ignorance of porn was great.
Title: Re: Archer Post by: Raguel on February 06, 2014, 06:04:18 AM Wait, tits bondage really is a thing? :ye_gods: Title: Re: Archer Post by: Merusk on February 06, 2014, 06:13:30 AM All of those were really a thing and they're MILD compared to some others.
Title: Re: Archer Post by: Samwise on February 07, 2014, 09:50:24 AM I recently read a theory online that Sterling Archer is autistic (somewhere on the spectrum, anyway). One of the pieces of evidence in support of which is that he's the only one who counts every bullet in a gunfight. If that's actually intended by the writers I think it's the most badass thing ever.
Title: Re: Archer Post by: Lakov_Sanite on February 07, 2014, 12:01:24 PM With the amount his mother drinks, not at all surprising.
Title: Re: Archer Post by: Rendakor on February 08, 2014, 07:32:14 AM They actually discussed that in an episode last season.
Title: Re: Archer Post by: cironian on February 25, 2014, 10:56:50 AM This episode was awesome. Somehow, the change in theme made a great show even better.
Title: Re: Archer Post by: Tannhauser on February 25, 2014, 03:27:30 PM I've not been a big fan of Archer Vice. Until this episode. Especially Jessica Walter. The animation gets better and better too.

Title: Re: Archer Post by: sickrubik on February 25, 2014, 03:56:41 PM Archer is right up there with Dr. Who on "impossible to catch up on without pirating".
Title: Re: Archer Post by: Setanta on February 26, 2014, 12:23:44 AM One of my daughter's friends provided me with copies of season 4. They released S4 in Australia this week.
Be fucked if I'm paying for it now. God knows when we will get the Vice series. Title: Re: Archer Post by: HaemishM on February 26, 2014, 07:53:06 AM You can tell the writers are just having a goddamn blast with this season. It's one long '80's homage. LOVE IT.
Title: Re: Archer Post by: WayAbvPar on March 06, 2014, 11:32:18 AM I recently read a theory online that Sterling Archer is autistic (somewhere on the spectrum, anyway). One of the pieces of evidence in support of which is that he's the only one who counts every bullet in a gunfight. If that's actually intended by the writers I think it's the most badass thing ever. "Hang on Lana, I’m stacking rocks in order of descending size.." That made me laugh for literally minutes. My wife thought I was on some sort of substance. I am just getting into this season- 2 eps down. So far it is making me laugh just like the rest of them, so mission accomplished. RIP, Brett :heartbreak: Title: Re: Archer Post by: Merusk on March 06, 2014, 01:50:00 PM I keep flipping on the briefcase from this week. Was it a Pulp Fiction reference or a Repoman reference or something else I might've missed.
Title: Re: Archer Post by: Surlyboi on March 06, 2014, 03:38:45 PM It was both.
Title: Re: Archer Post by: HaemishM on March 07, 2014, 09:03:10 AM Archer renewed for seasons 6 AND 7 (http://www.geeksofdoom.com/2014/03/06/fx-gives-archer-season-6-season-7)
So we'll have Archer until at least 2016. Awesomesauce.

:drill: Title: Re: Archer Post by: Miasma on March 13, 2014, 04:35:37 PM Episode seven of season five was the first episode of said season that didn't suck. All other six episodes sucked and had me hoping they would take the dream sequence escape for season six.
Title: Re: Archer Post by: Abagadro on March 13, 2014, 06:47:16 PM If you didn't like the Smokey and the Bandit episode you are broken.
Title: Re: Archer Post by: HaemishM on March 14, 2014, 08:52:30 AM If you didn't like the Smokey and the Bandit episode you are broken. This. Season 5 has been one long string of homages to shit that Adam Reed likes and it's been goddamn hysterical. Title: Re: Archer Post by: Pennilenko on March 15, 2014, 11:15:06 AM My favorite line came from Pam this season. When she was all like, "Have you tried COCAINE!" I lost it and I'm not even sure it was really that funny.
Title: Re: Archer Post by: Setanta on March 15, 2014, 05:06:42 PM I'm loving season 5, just finished ep 7 and the writers really do have their shit together.
Title: Re: Archer Post by: Ironwood on March 26, 2014, 01:00:32 PM This show is laughy. It's really laughy. I like this show. It makes me happy.

Title: Re: Archer Post by: WayAbvPar on March 27, 2014, 10:54:30 PM Archer uses dicktrap in S5 and is very amused by himself, which made it about 10x funnier.
Title: Re: Archer Post by: K9 on April 16, 2014, 07:27:27 AM Um, so season five keeps getting better and better. :awesome_for_real:
Minor spoiler fort he latest episode Title: Re: Archer Post by: HaemishM on April 16, 2014, 08:58:34 AM That is so awesome. I love this show. Also, Cyrill getting to be dictator was my favorite part besides the tiger.
Title: Re: Archer Post by: Threash on April 16, 2014, 09:25:16 AM Archer and Cherlene being equally stoked about going to the zoo killed me.
Title: Re: Archer Post by: K9 on April 16, 2014, 09:42:23 AM Ditto on both those points.
Title: Re: Archer Post by: Surlyboi on April 16, 2014, 11:19:31 AM Yeah, but it was totes inappropes.
Title: Re: Archer Post by: Merusk on April 16, 2014, 06:28:53 PM In the event anyone missed it, Kreiger (aka Lucky Yates) did an AMA a few days ago. It was glorious.

Title: Re: Archer Post by: Setanta on April 22, 2014, 04:56:20 AM Last episode of this season and I ended up smiling all the way through the conclusion. There's something about this show - I just love it.
Title: Re: Archer Post by: Lakov_Sanite on April 23, 2014, 11:27:09 AM Last episode of this season and I ended up smiling all the way through the conclusion. There's something about this show - I just love it. I kind of knew where they were going to go the entire episode but the way they got there was wonderful. The breaking bad homage killed me. Title: Re: Archer Post by: Ironwood on April 23, 2014, 12:52:07 PM The head of the KGB is called Jakov.
You'd be surprised how many episodes it took me to get that. Title: Re: Archer Post by: Samwise on April 26, 2014, 09:49:47 AM And they almost never refer to him by anything less than his full name, just to make sure. :awesome_for_real:
Title: Re: Archer Post by: Nevermore on January 09, 2015, 08:21:39 PM Season 6 started this week, by the way. I'm glad they're done with Archer Vice. Can't say I was a big fan of that. A few episodes maybe, but it kind of dragged since it was stretched out over an entire season.
Title: Re: Archer Post by: HaemishM on January 10, 2015, 12:19:08 PM You are an entire buffet of dicks. :why_so_serious:
So glad this is back. Title: Re: Archer Post by: Miasma on January 10, 2015, 12:29:20 PM Archer vice sucked.
Title: Re: Archer Post by: HaemishM on January 10, 2015, 12:31:47 PM I loved Archer Vice. Hot skinny coked-up Pam, crazy Cheryl wanting to be a country singer, Christian Slater, dictator Cyril. What's not to love? All the characters got to step out of their comfort zone and go crazy... crazier.
Title: Re: Archer Post by: Threash on January 10, 2015, 02:51:48 PM The worst Archer episode ever still made me laugh my ass off.
Title: Re: Archer Post by: Lakov_Sanite on January 10, 2015, 03:36:26 PM Vice was fine because I knew it was only a one off thing for that season. The premise would have been unsustainable but for a few episodes it was a nice intermission from the norm.

Title: Re: Archer Post by: Tannhauser on February 08, 2015, 04:40:16 PM That was a terrible episode. Season 6 otherwise has been good.
Title: Re: Archer Post by: HaemishM on February 08, 2015, 04:41:51 PM Are you kidding? I thought it was hilarious.
Title: Re: Archer Post by: Tannhauser on February 08, 2015, 05:17:03 PM I literally had two half-chuckles the entire episode. Lana saying "Thanks <name>" and dude jacking it at the end. I miss hot coke'ed up Pam.
Title: Re: Archer Post by: Threash on February 08, 2015, 05:25:21 PM I did not get the emergency phone stuff at all. Otherwise the episode was great, and i felt smart for catching the untouchables reference. Cheryl totally being a mind reader was freaking fantastic.

Archer pranked the phone the way he does his own to avoid Mallory was my guess. Good episode :) Title: Re: Archer Post by: apocrypha on February 09, 2015, 03:32:17 AM I thought it was great, laughed so hard I nearly hurt myself.
Title: Re: Archer Post by: WayAbvPar on February 11, 2015, 11:12:49 AM My wife and I finally finished last season last night. Last ep was AMAZING. Pam's 'long, racist story' line almost killed me, and this from Lana's baby nearly made me pee-
Title: Re: Archer Post by: Segoris on February 12, 2015, 09:11:27 PM I wasn't a big fan of last week's episode, but holy shit was tonight's fantastic.
Title: Re: Archer Post by: HaemishM on February 13, 2015, 09:19:11 AM I had to check to be sure but the voice for Farooq was indeed the guy that plays Dinesh on Silicon Valley. Having to lock the guns in the time-lock vault on poker night because of the "hate crimes" was genius.
"Well, it wasn't a HATE crime." Title: Re: Archer Post by: Miasma on February 16, 2015, 10:41:17 AM I had to check to be sure but the voice for Farooq was indeed the guy that plays Dinesh on Silicon Valley. Having to lock the guns in the time-lock vault on poker night because of the "hate crimes" was genius. I had to pause the episode to look it up, I've never watched Silicon Valley but he is also the guy who plays the super annoying but frustratingly realistic salesperson in Portlandia (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RLlOkKskBqU)."Well, it wasn't a HATE crime." Edit: Oh and holy shit that episode was amazing. Amazing. Title: Re: Archer Post by: Tannhauser on February 16, 2015, 06:32:47 PM Yeah, see now THAT was a good episode. There was an actual funny story instead of bitching in an elevator.
Title: Re: Archer Post by: Segoris on February 27, 2015, 06:00:59 PM Great episode, and that hot tub scene :ye_gods: :awesome_for_real:
Title: Re: Archer Post by: Miasma on February 27, 2015, 07:38:02 PM They should just add Christian Slater to the regular cast because it's awesome.
Title: Re: Archer Post by: HaemishM on February 27, 2015, 08:51:26 PM Dear God, I laughed my ass off at this episode. It doesn't hurt to have Keith David and CCH Pounder doing bit voice work either.
Title: Re: Archer Post by: Samwise on March 04, 2015, 04:26:36 PM My reaction when I realized they were about to do a Bullitt homage was almost exactly the same as Archer's. :drill:
Title: Re: Archer Post by: Tannhauser on March 04, 2015, 06:47:13 PM Good episode. The B-story was lame, but I really enjoyed Lana and Archer's. Every year their animation gets better and better also.

Title: Re: Archer Post by: Setanta on April 03, 2016, 02:57:32 AM I know they like mixing it up, but I hope the season gets better than the first episode.
Title: Re: Archer Post by: K9 on April 07, 2016, 11:14:48 AM Yeah, the first episode just felt like a bunch of slightly disconnected gags, it didn't seem to flow as well as previous seasons. Hopefully it's just setting up some better episodes later on,
Title: Re: Archer Post by: Segoris on April 07, 2016, 09:02:46 PM So yeah, 2nd episode of this season is much better. I like Patton Oswald as the lawyer, especially when he talked about his dogs :why_so_serious:

I thought it was a kind of weak season unfortunately. Too much of just Archer trying to bang Veronica Dean and not enough of the other characters. Jumped the shark or just an off season?
Title: Re: Archer Post by: K9 on June 11, 2016, 01:50:20 PM I thought there were a couple of standout episodes, but by and large this wasn't a patch on previous seasons. I think the attempt to have a season-long story arc might have boxed them in a bit too much. It also felt like they didn't really introduce any new jokes, just rehashed old ones.
Apparently the ending is deliberately ambiguous because they didn't know if they were going to get renewed or not. I guess we'll see. Title: Re: Archer Post by: Merusk on June 11, 2016, 09:01:10 PM I get the feeling he's bored and burnt out. Would be better to not continue with another mediocre season than try and force it.
Still, that clearly was just another Archerbot. :why_so_serious: Title: Re: Archer Post by: Setanta on June 11, 2016, 11:06:58 PM I wish they would go back to the spy theme - it felt natural whereas this season felt forced and the drug dealer theme was somewhere in between.
Title: Re: Archer Post by: HaemishM on June 12, 2016, 12:04:27 AM I think the Magnum PI/'80's detective show was a lot funnier on paper. There were some good jokes this season (love the Lambo on the tow truck) but the season felt too short.
Title: Re: Archer Post by: K9 on June 13, 2016, 05:38:01 AM Archer Vice worked because they could still have Archer doing all the spy stuff (running, jumping, shooting) and the plotlines pitched them against big targets (the Yakuza, South American dictators, Cuba). I still think the final four episodes of that season is one of the best plotlines the show has ever done. Trying to do the same with some shady hedge fund managers and an aging bunch of Hollywood celebrities just doesn't offer as much scope for wacky violence and capers.
Title: Re: Archer Post by: Merusk on June 13, 2016, 09:39:40 AM That, plus they already plumbed the the major Magnum P.I. references in RAMPAGE.
Title: Re: Archer Post by: apocrypha on June 14, 2016, 01:25:36 AM Honestly I think they just came up with the awesome season trailer for fun and then had to follow through with it.
Title: Re: Archer Post by: rattran on June 14, 2016, 05:05:00 AM It was a nice homage to Sunset Boulevard, but really made for a slow, short season. I'm sad to see it go, but at the same time I think it overdid it's run. They should have ended it before last season and done Frisky Dingo 2.0
Title: Re: Archer Post by: HaemishM on June 14, 2016, 07:54:57 AM I would kill for a Frisky Dingo sequel.
Title: Re: Archer Post by: Teleku on June 20, 2016, 11:53:48 AM Archer is literally Frisky Dingo 2.0, but with some actual editorial/creative control. I mean, I laughed at Frisky Dingo, but couldn't make it through the entire run. It suffered pretty badly from the Adult Swim "Here is some money artists! Make what ever shit comes out of your head without any producers looking over shoulder to make your shit more coherent." It's the exact same people who did that show, but with actual network creative control to make it watchable.
Title: Re: Archer Post by: HaemishM on June 20, 2016, 11:56:50 AM With the exception of some of the meandering through the sewers and sweat shop part, I thought Dingo was pretty coherent for the kind of show it was trying to be.
Title: Re: Archer Post by: rattran on June 20, 2016, 08:19:42 PM I think overall I enjoyed Frisky Dingo more than Archer. If H Jon Benjamin had voiced Xander Cruze it would have been about perfect.
Title: Re: Archer Post by: HaemishM on June 22, 2016, 07:12:20 AM Doesn't matter what you think, Archer gets 3 more seasons (http://www.geeksofdoom.com/2016/06/21/archer-extended-three-seasons?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+geeksofdoom+%28GEEKS+OF+DOOM%29).
The only hitch is that they will only be 8-episode seasons instead of 10 or 13, but still I'm happy. More Archer. Keep playing it until they run the jokes into the fucking ground. Title: Re: Archer Post by: apocrypha on June 22, 2016, 07:29:40 AM Yup, I'd rather have 24 mediocre episodes than none! :awesome_for_real:
Title: Re: Archer Post by: satael on June 22, 2016, 08:43:02 AM Splitting it into shorter seasons could work especially if they go with a theme like the last two seasons.

Title: Re: Archer Post by: Abagadro on January 12, 2017, 06:34:19 PM Considering Archer (and his LMD) died at the end of last season (oops spoiler), I don't think we are meant to take much of anything on this show as lineal story telling.
