It was inevitable. Archer Season 3 finally comes to an end tonight. Dukes.
No special guest this week. Just the merry band of Archer fanatics who make this thread home on Thursday nights. Have you checked out our Live Q&A with Amber Nash and Lucky Yates (aka Pam and Krieger)? It was tremendous. Can’t thank those two enough. Speaking of thanks, this seems like the right place to show some gratitude to everyone who chipped in here all season long. Many thanks to our Floyd County guests: Matt, Casey, Neal, Chad, Bryan, TJ, and Jon. Everyone at FX (especially my girl, Kristy) for letting us get away with all this. Cajun Boy, Burnsy, and the rest of Team UPROXX for pitching in. Chet Manley for being a selfless GIF wizard. And — of course — our active commenters. You guys are the Brett Buckleys of this whole operation.
Don’t fret though UPROXX faithful. We have some similar efforts in the works to help us all get over our collective withdrawal. When God closes a door, he opens a dress.
Pre-show talking points…
- “Archer and his colleagues at ISIS wish they had never voyaged to the final frontier in an effort to prevent a catastrophe on the International Space Station.”
- How is the ISIS gang going to make it back in one piece? Anyone else think Cyril totally redeems himself?
- Does Robocop have a burning desire to ride black astronauts?
- Is there any chance Lana is actually pregnant and the show isn’t just tooling on the “female lead feeling sick in the season finale” trope?
- Are we in store for a cliffhanger?
- Enough typing. This screengrab has more discussion points than I can outline…
Season finale open thread is open. As always, everyone is encouraged to chat and GIF away well into the morning. I’ll put a cap on things in the AM.
Follow us @KDMaske, @TheCajunBoy, and @UPROXX for reminders. Images via FX and Floyd County.

Chet, you’re a made man now.
great episode- I don’t know how I’ll handle the wait until the next season.
Great work last night, guys. We’ll pull through the hiatus together. Thanks to Burnsy for helping me keep an eye on things at Fort Kick Ass.
I regret no comment.
God damn, what a great episode. Best of all, my Barry-hating troll prayers were answered! Huzzah!
Seriously though, it was a great episode from start to finish.
Blew up this thread.
/blame alcohol and insomnia
If Lana would somehow had to stlye her hair into side buns it would have put it over the top.
Well now what do we do until next season? shitsnacks!
Vagina with a zipper!
“Fuck emptying the bin multiple times” Mrs. OLN
Just got home and came right to this post to read the comments but then it dawned on me that maybe I should watch the episode of Archer on my DVR first.
I’ll join you. Wife wants to watch again
That Absolut vodka dubstep commercial with robot dogs makes me want to shoot my TV like Elvis in Itchy & Scratchy.
God this show rules.
Spoiler alert, Animal Farm sucks.
*adds “GIF wizard to resume*
You’re like Picasso but not all messed up in the head.
You say that…
Also, my camera button seems to be broken, so we’re back to this now:

Oh geez. You can see brain splatter on the back wall.
Damn it, that is beautiful.
saved
I know the original reference, yet I still feel the need to blast that Flavor In Your Ear remix.
[i44.tinypic.com]
Chet is the man. Another one saved. Not sure if I’m able to add text to gifs.
Chet, you brilliant son of a bitch.
Are you not?
[i42.tinypic.com]
hard to do holding a glass. thank you again i will email to my buddies who love these.
Man, there has to be some sort of “Archer with the Animals” short to be made
[i41.tinypic.com]
Krieger’s van rocking next please. Totally missed it 1st time around.
redux
[i41.tinypic.com]
Swirling the drink was the equivalent of putting a cherry on top. Absolutely fantastic end of the season. I really wanted to see Archer fight Barry in the bot, but the episode kicked so much ass that it wasn’t necessary.
But she’s… how does that even…
[i41.tinypic.com]
Holy shit You are making my night. Chet-SAN
Don’t forget Krieger is a genius Hitler clone. He dosed Cheryl with LSD to just bang her. Krieger rules!
Cheryl doing your “Queen Commands you”
I, just this second, caught the GOT reference. OMG WINTER IS COMING NEXT WEEK!
[i40.tinypic.com]
I know I’m pumped. I’ve never read the books so it’s all new to me.
I went with “whordiot.” Now off to bed with me.
[i40.tinypic.com]
Chet as always you rock my wurl buddy
Chet can we get a Power Loader gif?
I’m guessing that’s Archer lifting 1000lbs like it’s an apple. Well at least I hope so.
A-Mazing!
Awesome!
NICE, Chet!!
The robot body; Avatar or Aliens?
Aliens.
Did they announce when the next season would start? Can we hope for a special episode or three before 2013 ?
Not sure, but it’ll probably be a year, knowing FX. I’ve already emailed the Warming Glow team and told them to have some news for us tomorrow.
So Sons of Anarchy until then? Better not end shitty.
How many gifs are there going to be in this one? Half Lana running around, I am sure… Barry with the Warriors, Archer and Barry in the space bot. Yikes.
I’m expecting at least three GIFs of Lana.
/Stickers!
The whole episode is GIF-worthy.
Chet Manley should get paid after this show…
I want the blood spraying all over Carol.
Note to any Archer staffers that might check in on this, two words: Web shorts.
OH GOD YES WEB SHORTS.
The “I’s” have it.
Hell Yes
domo arigoto mister roboto was my favorite thing in a while. I’ll miss archer so much.
My stomach hurts.
Jesus we have to wait to like 2013 now don’t we?
Who else would love to sit in on this writing staff?
that just means hanging out with adam reed.
so, yes! a million, billion times, yes, that would be fucking great!
I’d fuck Pam for the opportunity.
I wouldn’t mind sitting in on Aisha Tyler’s voice recording sessions. Or in her house.
Yes. And they wouldn’t have to pay me.
I’d fuck Mallory for the opportunity
I love Adam Reed so much. I own all the Sealab DVDs. When I heard about Archer I almost splooshed myself.
that episode deserves all the fucking badges
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
“Did I tell you guys I got a goat?”
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
That is how to end a season. How long til season 4 starts?
Let’s get a countdown going.
*slow clap*
Gravity Pam smoking please.
You have some work to do.
Please to have Barry’s Warriors beer fingers
Barry clinking the beers saying come out to play. I have so many gifs saved that I send to fellow fans.
Fail that was last week. Totally missed it.
I want a goat. Not enough Krieger.
That was simply beautiful.
So fucking good!
That sucks Ray is back in the chair, but hopefully it’s not permanent.
aw, ray’s back in the chair!
at least sterling’s got a goat!
Please don’t end this… PLEASE
Outfuckingstanding. Goddamn.
God damnit I hate being on the west coast. Waiting for this shit sucks.
Almost there! One more Star Wars reference for good measure.
Star Wars reference Infinity
Pam with the walk-off home run.
+1 Cyril
WA THAT PITCH BLACK? HOW MANY SPACE MOVIES ARE THERE?
I was expecting an “Event Horizon” reference!
FUCKING EPIC
Was hoping we’d get a “McFly, you’re not yellow, are you?” in there at some point.
Don’t play mind games with Sterling Archer.
This cannot end…. it cannot end
/sheds single Indian tear.
Think about somebody else…is that a thing?
I need to get tickets to get Kill Barry. Orbitz doing deals?
Jesus this is awesome. What is going to be referenced next?
Mister Roboto?
I hear To Kill Barry is nice this time of year.
EMP > Barry
Space dwarves, come on, I can’t laugh this hard.
warriors reference, this is approaching mst3k levels of referencing.
Excellent thought.
Styx. We’re there.
And now Styx
seriously, fuck those space dwarves!
