There are not words for how much I’m loving the running “third” gag lately. GD maintenance fees.
There’s really no controlling them.
Can we please put this GIF on Neil’s radar? I know he’s always wanted a manga child bride hologram shout out.
Speaking of shout outs, quick one to the increasingly killer art and animation.
Oh, Fort Kickass. What’s become of you.

Got to it late — out of town. I loved “Pam, why aren’t you in position.” “This is how I do it.” While in the men’s room masturbating to tentacle porn
Upon re-re-re-re-rewatching the episode last night, Carol/Cheryl does a Woody Woodpecker laugh when the waste-basket was on fire.
When Lana said “since we didn’t do the former, now we’re going to do the latter”, what was she referring to? Was the former Archer’s insistence that she’s jealous and the latter that Cyril was mad about the scotch?
Archer said something about “coming and going.” The former was interrupted.
I’ve already been using “that’s the third saddest thing I’ve heard today” in conversations. It’s a Swiss Army knife of a phrase.
Why did the puppy have to die
Sssh, my penis can only get so erect.
I’m so late to this but I loved everything about this episode. I thought the second episode this season was a bit of a weak point but the last two have been stellar.
The Russian officer always has the best one-liners. Favorite recurring non-major character.
Boris is great. I’s so happy he’s back.
Cosigned
Him dancing with the lingerie in S1 is something I think of anytime I’m feeling sad and it always cheers me up. (I’m just catching up on Archer now)
If you go on Krieger’s Facebook page, you’ll notice a picture of him playing hockey. This needs to happen in-show.
Holy shit does that ever need to happen. But which team would be his favorite?
I could see him being a Penguins fan because of the former Robopen logo.
I was so confused by how or why opposite world started. But when Cheryl slapped Archer for complimenting her, I came to accept it.
It started when Archer proclaimed himself to be “Sterling Archer, The Sensitive Friend” something so unbelievable that it would have to be opposite world.
The important part is that I’m happy.
I absolutely loved that she’s being called Carol and Cheryl now.
Am I the only one that kept waiting for Archer to make the ‘mwomp’ sound every time he stuck his finger in his ear? That drove me bananas.
Absolutely this. Now they’re just messing with us.
Reserved for explosions that he may or may not set off in close proximity to him and others.
I hate it when he does that.
How do males typically react in tentacle hentai? I fully would expect the monster to just go meh and move on.
I love that everyone gets in on the “Phrasing” bandwagon now.
I know the Fort Kick Ass was a call back, but I can’t remember to where. Can someone remind me?
Skorpio.
I just figured out if you rearrange the words in Fort Kick Ass you can make Kick Ass Fort
Love that Sterling thinks Cyril is banging Lana just to get back at him for the scotch he drank. Awesome.
Sterling is so self-absord that is the only rational explanation to him.
Ya, but Cyril is such a passive aggressive, insecure mouse, that might actually be true
Drinking booze out of a paperclip holder is genius
So is smoking a joint.
1. I want to say the rush to Katy’a apartment was a Ferris Bueller reference. Great, now I have that song running through my head.
2. I could never understand what Mallory was saying while she was applying the lipstick. I’ve watched that portion 4 times now without getting it.
“and if he plays his cards right, he’ll be wetting a lot more than his…”
*Sterling blows rape whistle*
As always, Chet Manley comes through.
PHRASING!
As always, Chet Manley … comes on top?
*blows rape whistle*
Favourite episode so far. And the bar was set pretty high with ‘Skytanic’ and ‘Placebo Effect’.
Has Archer always had an El Camino?
Well, there was the Challenger . For 5 minutes.
Until Mallory had to teach him a lesson.
Caught a little bit of Coast to Coast AM this morning and some guy said the ringing in some people’s ears is not Tinnitus, but a sign that “They” are watching and controlling you. Made me think of last night’s episode of Archer.
Opposite world was pretty awesome.
Really it thought it was terrible
Was the “Who do I have to screw around here to get a drink?” a The Last Seduction reference? What was the indirect Predator reference?
I believe it was
The ‘We’ll run away to Alaska, or somewhere else that’s cold” line
Because Predator can’t live in cold climate. Or so Archer thinks…
…and desperately hopes
Does a rape whistle work like a dog whistle? I’d better clearly label each.
Cobwebs on the cooch = poor Pam
Lana must have her beat with 14 months though
I wonder if she’ll be giving Archer some more MOABs this season?
/ashamed Pam-Archer Shipper
//disembowels self for knowing “shipper”
I liked the Excelsior ad on the back of Miss Krieger’s magazine. Who wouldn’t want to travel in the luxury of a non-rigid airship?
For some reason the first recording on my DVR didn’t record. Fortunately, I have the repeat set to record as well for exactly that reason. Can’t wait.
Thank Gawd…your first sentence had me on edge dying of suspense but i am glad there was a happy ending!!
Well, I was late to the party, so to speak, so I haven’t seen every episode of Archer. I picked it up right after the Heart of Archness trilogy. I’ve got it set to record repeats on the off chance that FX airs old episodes for me to watch. I saw Stage Two/Placebo Effect, Jeu Monégasque and the first Heart of Archness episode as a result. For some reason, they didn’t re-air parts 2 and 3.
If you don’t have Netflix, find a friend who does or get it for one month ($8) just so you can catch up on the earlier seasons. It will be well worth it.
It’s near the top of my list when I get a job, after a $300 Blackhawks jersey and a top-of-the-line leather desk chair.
Mushi Night is also a thing now
Only if it ALWAYS involves tentacle porn.
I promise myself I don’t laugh… Promise broke.
This episode, while great (I loved all the callbacks, especially the fort kick ass boxes), confirmed the death of Mulatto Butts as Archer’s ringtone, and that, my friends, is sad news!
It is indeed, I was thoroughly disappointed
While sad, it makes sense. Who the hell has the same ringtone for years anymore?
Watching Archer melt the way he did when he was with Katya made me smile. It’s the little things.
That was probably my favorite episode of all time. There was so much packed in. the opening sequence alone had more in there than most shows have in a half hour.
I loved that Cheryl and Krieger were carrying most of the comedic weight here.
Dude. Robot fights.
RIP that poor puppy.
“Maybe you’re having a stroke!”
I love Cheryl.
I would like to know who’s hand bruises are around Cheryl/Carol neck
Presumably the fireman from the warehouse fire.
That’s what I assumed.
She started that warehouse fire didn’t she.
I hate to be that guy but being so heavy on callbacks after only 3 seasons kind of diminishes the returns for future seasons. IASIP waited at least 4 seasons before all the callbacks and they weren’t pivotal plot points either just easter eggs…I’m Just saying.*closes browser slits wrist*
edit: after only 4 seasons…IASIP waited at least 5
This will make you feel better: Archer is a better show than IASIP could ever hope to be in every conceivable way.
not a IASIP fan i see, well lets see if Archer will make to 9 seasons and movie…
Its fitting that everyone in ISIS is into tentacle porn.
Great way to tie in a joke about passed-out sex with Pam making her own forced tentacle porn. That shit is completely bananas.
Yeaaaaaaaaaaaah…
OH GOD OH GOD I FINALLY JUST UNDERSTOOD THAT PART OH GOD
Wait what?
I need to go wash my brain now.
Didn’t Mallory make a crack in S4E1 about the worst thing being Archer marrying a whore with bangs or whatever… dig at Katya?
Opposite world FTW
Pam badge SPLOOSH!
Cheryl Badge. Get choked by a robot hand.
and by ftw I assume you mean For The Worst
This was an akward episode to watch with my mom, who hadn’t seen the show before. But that feeling is in keeping with the spirit of the show.
someone hide this guy’s vacuum cleaner.
Damnit Woodhouse
Lana’s attitude was really starting to annoy me this season but being made aware that it all stems from a lack of sex makes it work for me…
But its dissapointing that she is the least freaky of the female characters.
I don’t find that disappointing, she’s kinda an anchor
Is it me or did Lana not seem to enjoy the sex..
Also her not getting some for over a year? WTF?
and a half…I know Aisha wouldn’t or couldn’t go that long. Most underrated gorgeous black woman ever!
Pam and Cheryl definitely got her beat in the kinky sex department.
14 months.
And appropriately the Lana Badge.
She’s got to get into arson…
Or some light choking at the very least…
I also figured the way he kept running to Katya’s was a reference to something, but I am far too lazy to try and figure out what. That’s why I come here.
Phrasing BOOM!
The only thing I could think of is the “guy on multiple dates at the same time” bit sitcoms have done to death. But I don’t think that fits as well as their normal references do.
So much great stuff last night. Apparently, cyborgs still grow hair. Love that everyone is rushing to get the “Phrasing, BOOM!” The third most jokes have been awesome.
“Sympathy Boner”
Band name.
Or a new reality porn site to finally “tap” that underused “nice guy” market.
As I say in most of these discussions, Krieger deserves to be on the opening credits. He’s stolen pretty much every scene he has been in. And his holographic girlfriend is the perfect punchline. The amount of material that can stem from her appears to be endless.
This was a fantastic episode, showcasing everything we would ever want from just about every character.
And the Neil de Grasse Tyson reference.
Krieger was in rare form. Aroused over robot fights, his girlfriend, the dart gun, interactions with barry. All of them were ace.
‘My penis can only get so erect!’
Best line like that not in a porn.
Boom, Ray badge!
I believe it’s his wife, at least in the State of New York
I was dying at that line, and then the explanation to the holo-girlfriend…
Babupbupbupup – Wait, RARE form?!
“Stop stop STOP…” I lost when he said that. Definitely one of the best lines of the episode.
But did he interact with OTHER Barry? Yes he did, Barry.
Woodhouse, bitches! Now where’s my bowl of spiderwebs…
I wish Ray said something when he woke up to the effects of, “hey Cyril. How’s it hanging buddy?”
My wife killed the mood of the episode for me because I spent the first 5 minutes explaining the “phrasing” joke to her. She has watched the show as long as I have. It’s like I don’t even know her.
Well obviously you have to divorce her.
Yes and/or duh.
On Valentine’s Day to boot. Ouch.
If I had to pick a cyborg to run the KGB it would be Katya, sorry Barry, and Other Barry
I’m now way more interested to see what Katya does as far as counter-intelligence (counter-stupidity) against ISIS, since her mind isn’t all “destroy Archer.”
I approve of Katya’s redesign of the uniform. I see good things for her as head of the KGB.
