The most brutal and bloody fight scene in show history by my recollection. Simply wonderful.



Aw, pocket piggy. We’ll apparently be seeing more of you.

“Seriously, I’m like Chuck Norris-esque.”

Bikini slingshots and Old Buncombe pasties? Double duh.



A light Pam and Cheryl episode, but we did get this.

They had me at Ike Turner and hair nets!
I was completely creeped out by the Archer-animated Belcher kids, and despite the fact that I was glad to have Archer back, I sort of wanted to see how crazy those kids really are with their new look. One of the guys I work with at DISH didn’t appreciate the crossover at all since he’s never watched Bob’s Burgers. I however, loved it, and I’m definitely looking forward to archiving all of Archer on my DISH Hopper now that I’ve finally got rid of my old DVR. I have so much more recordings space now, so I’ve figured that with being able to save 1,250 SD or 450 HD hours, I’ll be able to save several more series along with Archer.
Fuck off.
Great episode, but did anyone else think they were trying to force in alot of call back jokes for the first episode?
LAAANNNNNAAAAA!
Fantastic. A memorable cross-over indeed. Archer-ized Tina, Gene and Louise were absolutely terrifying though. Lynn actually looked more “attractive” for a cartoon, despite that horrible man voice of hers, which was smart because it had to be believable that Archer would marry her with her three kids.
The recap is the best part of my morning.
Anyone know where I can buy LSD gummies?
huzzah!
Oh how I’ve missed this show. Can we get a Thelma and Louise style episode starring Pam and Cheryl?
Hmm if the Russian ‘Nut Rubbers’ were hot women I’d love to have them visit me at work.
Such a great start.
Oh my goodness, so freaking good. Like so freaking good. Love this highlights page because even though I just watched the episode, the recap still makes me smile.
Multiple obscure comic book character references in one episode? win.
Also, the spatula through the trachea? JESUS.
Spencer Hall referenced on Uproxx?! Win all around.
Nothing would make me happier (NOTHING) then a Archer/Xander Crews showdown.
BOOSH!
Is the ostrich a direct replacement for Babou?
No she was super high.
I’m late to the party, but I had to express my enthusiasm for the return of Duchess.
I am sad that my new job is killing all the free time I had to spend on these boards while they were going live…
Per Matt’s suggestion, I googled Lana nude images. Lots of “sploosh” imagery I was not ready for.
Yup
It’s the internet. Rule 34.
Where is the ostrich going, “Do you think that’s wise?” from the end of the show?
Archer/Bob Whoops 4 Russians but can’t touch Lana. Weird
Great episode to open the season but I am kind of sad they wrapped up Archer’s amnesia in one episode it could have been fun to try and stretch that gag out for a few episodes.
Agreed.
I just have to say I love how ridiculous the bridesmaids dresses at the wedding looked. Lana especially looks hilarious.
Lana looks well… huge.
I was shocked (happily so) to see a reference to Tommy Hambledon and Manning Coles (Well, yeah, the History of Violence and Bob’s Burgers stuff was great). Hard to find the books now but some of the most fun spy novels you’ll ever read.
Late to the party but just wanted to say I thought it was a fantastic season opener. I loved the crossover, the pocket pig, and wish Archer could always have a mustache. Also, great insight from Matt.
For those who missed Krieger stuffing an animal in his pocket, you may have also missed this from last season.
That is delightful.
Yeah, I could have sworn seeing Doctor Krieger putting an animal in his pocket before.
One Frisky Dingo-ism I wholeheartedly wish would make a re-appearance in Archer (hopefully on the regular) is the almost-whispered “God………….dammit……..”
I wouldn’t mind a slideshow reference.
Loved the history of violence homage.
Jesus, Mary, and Joseph Stalin !
OMG I just discovered Archer earlier this week and watched all 3 seasons. This episode was a great season opener with the Bob’s Burger crossover. I only wish the kids could have talked, too. And a Venture Bros/Archer crossover would be crazy insane hilarious!!!!!
what i find amazing is that there’s actually a difference in benjamin’s voice between two characters. he sounds way more youthful as archer. emphasizes the many years of bob’s not giving a fuck anymore.
once i realized this was the crossover, my reaction was akin to archer with babou
HE REMEMBERS ME!!!
I loved the Krieger “bup bup bup”s – very much like the xtacles shushing nearl.
God dammit I need to catch up. Season 2, you are my mission this weekend.
I didn’t see the pig at first viewing. I heard about it today and I was convinced that I was being led on. I’ve never been so happy to be wrong
Now can we get a Archer/Venture Brothers crossover please
Archer and The Master? Would Sterling bang The Master disguised as Orpheus’s wife with that voice?
The fact they they even got the actor who does Linda’s voice makes it even better.
Kreiger putting a fetal pig in his pocket cracked me up. It was just so random
The Gimp Suit/Baby Powder/Cornstarch dialog absolutely killed it for me.
I’m so so so so so so excited for this season. Well done! But i’m assuming there will be no more Pam/Archer MOABs-hardcore-filthy-downlow-sex?
Holy shit, 242 comments on this post already. Damn this site has become popular.
I’m not reading all the comments, but I will just assume they are all heaping praise on the episode and the genius writing, and I concur.
Stellar episode all around
The quote about Krieger being scraped from Hitler’s underpants was ace. Fuck, hurry up and end work so I can rewatch!
Sour mix? In a margarita? What is this, Auschwitz?
Did I ask you for your life story?
Better than Meowschwitz
Betting pool on how long Ray stays in the wheelchair this time? I’m going to say five episodes.
ISIS is bound to have a bionic man of their own me thinks, Ironsides.
@Kasrith Hadn’t thought of that! I could totally seeing them putting Ray in some kind of powered battlesuit maybe as well.
It’d be awesome for him to become the ISIS version of Bionic Barry.
I would kill for Bionic Ray.
Thank you so much for pocket pig gif. Krieger is my favorite fictional genetic clone of Adolph Hitler.
another very specific niche…
That first episode absolutely did not disappoint.
Oh man what a great episode! The Bob’s Burger crossover had me rolling. I knew at that moment that season wouldnt dissapoint.
I don’t even watch Bob’s Burgers, but it was a great crossover. Makes me want to start watching Bob’s burgers
it’s a fantastic show
“Welp, there goes the frying pan to the back of the head theory”.
I’m late to the party here, but last night’s episode was GLORIOUS. I’m so happy Archer’s back. LSD gummy bears, Shazaam, She-Hulk, and Mal’s dig about gay-redneck-handicapped support group niches ( something to that effect) had me rolling.
bad martini=reference to Auschwitz and..
…gay crippled hillbilly.
Note to self: Lana said she’s never, ever kissing Archer again.
