‘ARCHER’ RENEWED, BITCHES.
02.23.10
FX has ordered a second season of “Archer,” the animated spy series that kicks the teeth in of almost any other sitcom on television. Good news: the second season will have 13 episodes, up from this season’s 10. Bad news: we gotta wait until 2011 for the new season to start. From the press release, via TV by the Numbers:
“Executive Producers Adam Reed and Matt Thompson are delivering a hilarious series and it truly earned a second season,” said Grad. “H. Jon Benjamin, Aisha Tyler, Jessica Walter, Chris Parnell and Judy Greer comprise one of the best voice casts of any animated series on TV. We’re very happy with the audience response and critical acclaim for Archer and are excited to move forward with it.”
“We are incredibly excited about the opportunity to make a second season of Archer,” said Reed, “and grateful that FX has enough faith in the show to allow it to build an audience. Excelsior!”
Allow me to take a step back for the bigger picture here. When writing about various TV series, I try to allow for the fact that people have widely varying tastes in comedy. Some people think Kristen Wiig is the best part about “Saturday Night Live;” others think she’s the worst. As much as I detest Jay Leno, I recognize and understand his appeal to boring people.
So there are certainly people out there who don’t think “Archer’s” funny; after all, the show averages only a little over a million viewers a week. But let me tell you something: if you don’t think “Archer’s” funny, it’s not the show’s fault; it’s yours. People who don’t like “Archer” are like people who don’t drink coffee or booze: they’re boring to talk to and shouldn’t be trusted.

Seriously the best show on television or my iphone today. And a 16 episode 3rd season is coming as well! Working nights at DISH Network, I actually moved my lunch schedule so I could watch Archer using my sling adapter to stream the show to my iphone so I won’t miss it. Come on Thursday.
DUH AND OR HELLO! BEST SHOW EVER! BIG UPS!! RACIST!
*As the captain is about to jump out of the helium blimp, lana raises her gun to shoot, but archer knocks her hand making her miss the shot*
Archer: Lana, No! You’ll kill us all!
Captain: Oh for the last time, you idiot! Its not hydrogen, its helium *jumps out of plane*
…………..
Lana: And what about that are you still not getting exactly?
Archer: Well obviously the core concept lana. Sorry i didnt go to space camp.
Lana: Well how about bomb defusal camp?
Archer: No, actually lacrosse camp…if that helps.
Then 5 minutes of them hilariously trying to disarm the bomb and failing, good lord do i love this show
Archer is easily one of the funniest shows on television. Every episode is completely hilarious, and tremendously rewatchable.
‘Seriously Lana, call Kenny Loggins ‘cos you’re in the Danger Zone.’
‘What are you doing?’
‘Uhh, none-of-your-businessing.’
‘Commence Operation…something-about-I rescue-Lana-and-she-begs-me-to-take-her-back-so-then-Cyril-commits-suicide. I swear to God I had something for this…’
‘Oh ok, then I guess just pout.’
‘Oh my god, that’s classic her!’
“You’re baby crazy!”
Gosh this is like Baby Town Fraulics.
“Lana….Lana….Laaaaannaaaaaa”
“WHAT?!”
“Daaaaangggaaa Zooooone”
Well with all that talk about your “vealy vulva”
“danja zone”
@ Enrico Pallazo…big girls are fun…leave Pam alone.
“And just why is that so funny?”
“HAHAHA, Not that, it’s Woodhouse, he’s all tied up somewhere, scared and alone…HAHAHA, probable dehydrated!!”
“No they’re, oh my god they’re green, like emeralds. How did I never see that? Lana, your eyes are amazing.”
“Oh, Archer…”
“I mean, not compared to your tits but…”
Enrico Pallazzo you sound like one of those people that complains we shouldn’t “Cram” gay people in to every show. The character is a very small part of the show, if her presence really bothers you that much you have some issues. If one minor lesbian character bothers you, an episode of spin city would probably make your head explode.
“Sure, you walked into Discount Lingerie and asked them for something to showcase your intellect.”
“I’ve got my top man on it, or perhaps bottom”
“I think what you’re looking for is Sammy G-G-Gayvis Junior!”
“GOD DAMMIT!”
This isn’t the last you’ll hear from Conrad Stern!… which isn’t my real name!”
“Shoot bitch! Democracy’s at stake!”
“Quick get me some duct tape… cause this guy is ripped!”
“How do you like my disguise?”
“Depends. Who are you supposed to be? ‘Topper Bottoms, the stern-yet-sensual skipper of the U.S.S. Rough Service’?
“Hurray for metaphors!”
“Oh yea? Well.. eat grenade! Stupid!”
(while setting dead hooker on fire) “Don’t you guys watch CSI? This is like cluetown!”
I’m afraid the lemur got into the pudding cups.
Like I told you he would!
“And hurry up. All I’ve had to eat today is like, six gummy bears, and some scotch.”
“Way the Christ out in the Everglades burying some Dominican guy’s rooster!”
“FUN!”
Help, help!
What can we do?*
No, I was addressing you as The Help.
*I’m guessing on that line.
“your so gay, you sneeze glitter”, thank you
I will admit that I was not an Archer fan back when the sneak preview came around after Sunny’s premiere. Even though I think that was more due to the fact that I wanted more Sunny that night.
Anyways, now it’s one of the funniest shows on television for me.
“Whatcha looking for there is Sammy Gayvis Jr”
Wait…I had something for this.
“One more dead body in here and that bitch Trudy Beekman will have me right back in front of the co-op board!”
“I’ll scrape all your mishaps into a pile and knit a onesie for it.”
I could read Archer quotes all day along.
Also… @codenameduchess on Twitter is fantastic.
She’s not a call girl, she’s a hooker. When they’re dead, they’re called hookers. Dead hookers.
“Come on twenty two black. Twenty two black. Twenty two… BLACK, ASS SON OF A BITCH! Not you giant African man. I’m sorry, can I offer you a drink? How about this expensive prostitute?”
“seriously, thats like, eggs 101″
I can’t resist, so one more for the road:
“Glossing over HOW you know that…”
“We touched penises.”
“NO! GLOSSING!”
You’re not alone. I’ll always think of Dr. Katz’ son when I hear Archer’s voice (H. Jon Benjamin).
To keep the qoute string going, “Vealy Vulva”. That is all.
Aaand, for the record, big Dr. Katz fan here. I used to watch it after PT in college when I took my breakfast back to my room.
chirp chirp
Crickets? Never mind!
Uh hello, planes? It’s blimps. You win.
NO LANA!! THE HELIUM!!
So Kreiger… how’s about a roadie?
I am into Carol. She’s got the right amount of crazy mixed i with the right amount of sluttiness.
“What happens on this scratchy green office rug, stays on this scratchy green office rug.”
“He touched his penis to my penis. Full head and shaft!”
“Woodhouse thinks he’s people!”
“WHY ARE YOU LETTING WOODHOUSE SIT AT THE TABLE? YOU’RE TREATING HIM LIKE A PERSON!!”
“An *erection*? The thought of me laying dead somewhere gives you *an erection*?”
“Just… half of one. The other half would be really… sad. Probably.”
“Pak! Hey, tell this broad what’s up with ISIS, Pak-man. Wakka wakka wakkaaaaaa!”
”Cyril, c’mon. Worst case scenario, her cover got blown and Scorpio’s raping her senseless before he chops her corpse up into fish food.”
All this talking is making it hard to drop a deuce.
“I need you to withdraw 50,000 dollars from your personal account.”
“Aww, thats too much.”
M as in Mancy
DAAAAAANNNNNGGGGGGER ZONE
IMO the Skorpio episode is when the show took the jump from very good to awesome. Bartleby reference + chum guzzler = win.
“Is just fat dripping off kebabs”
“All I’ve had today is, like, six gummy bears and some scotch”
How hard is it to have anonymous sex with a gay man?
Seriously, how hard is it to make a god damned poached egg?
Anyone really into Carol? I am really into Carol. If you’re reading this Carol, call me. -TWT.
Otto: That doesn’t even make sense. Maybe if he were part Scottish….
“Which hopefully explains my shock at ending up aboard the CHUM GUZZLER!”
“And that’s the reason I never have sex with my coworkers. That … and no one ever lets me.”
“I’ve had good results with ether.”
“Destiny? No she’s not passable, her adams apple makes it look like she swallowed a rubix cube”
“god, it’s like my brain’s that tree, and you’re those little cookie elves”
And any show that freely uses the derogatory term ‘Krout’ for German people goes to number 1 on my dvr IMMEDIATELY.
Karate?! The Dane Cook of Martial arts?!
Wooden spoons are a huge emotional trigger.
anyone catch the 934TXS reference in the latest video?
“Sir, that stolen lemur bit one of your prostitutes right in the face, and she says she can’t go to hospital because she’s quote, ‘tripping balls’.”
“There’s your guy… that guy. Beardsley McTurbanhead”
“It’s pretty late though, why don’t you take a cab.”
Msr Sterling, I have problem.
“I’ll pay for it.”
Again? Seriously Pita, you’re killing me here, again?
“Well, what’s the word for it, Lana? You freaked out when I said Quadroon”
Cy-ril! That was SO ninja!
When I served in the King’s African Rifles, the local Zambese tribe referred to human flesh as “long pig.” Never much cared for it.
Cyril, you’re the one who killed a perfectly good hooker.
Oops, sorry. SPOILER WARNING
..”they’re boring to talk to and shouldn’t be trusted.”
Yeah, same with those Jews….ummm…did I say that out loud?
I’ll show myself out now.
“Your authority is not recognized in Fort Kick-Ass”
“I would prefer not to.”
(guns cock)
“Bartleby the Scrivener? Not a lot of Melville fans here. It’s okay, he’s not an easy read.”
“Jesus Kreiger, You still filming bum fights?”
“Now I’m into something….darker.”
Everything that Thompson and Reed have done has been Boosh! worthy. Sealab 2021, Frisky Dingo, Archer and even the two episodes of the Xtacles that Thompson did without Reed.
May the rivers run red with blood. Yeah, like at your moms house.
Grimey, call Kenny Loggins.
If you don’t like Archer we can never be friends.
YUUUUUUP
DAINGER ZONE

Outstanding. But they do need to get rid of that fat dyke though. She is awful. Plus more Woodhouse and nudity, please.
