Finlly watched this last night. If I stumbled across that (elevator episode) I would have been scouring the internet for more that was fucking great.Dr. Medulla wrote:Probably not.

I love it when dumb characters do something smart, like when Cheryl correctly guessed what every person was thinking or when Charlie figured out the Airline Miles scam.revbob wrote:Finlly watched this last night.

Jesus Christ, it's impossible not to be in complete awe at how good this show is at rapid banter. Also: Rumplestumpskin.

Re: This Archer show is pretty damn good.
I think I agree, tho Sunny is firing on all cylinders this season and, full credit to tep, Broad City has won over me and the missuz. One area of improvement for Archer this season is that Ray has become just as reliable a character for banter as the others.revbob wrote:Right now I declare it the funniest show on television.Dr. Medulla wrote:Jesus Christ, it's impossible not to be in complete awe at how good this show is at rapid banter.

Re: This Archer show is pretty damn good.
Sunny and Broad City are runners up for sure. I'm drawing a blank on anything else right now. Portlandia as well I think but for me none of them tops Archer. And yeah I know what you mean about Ray's character. There were some past episodes where he was more prominent and those were good and I t doesn't take anything away from the other characters either. I had someone try to sell me on big bang theory again yesterday. The new me politely declines. The old me would have blurted out that show sucks. I like how my daughter came to the conclusion that it is horrible too without any bias from me.Dr. Medulla wrote:I think I agree, tho Sunny is firing on all cylinders this season and, full credit to tep, Broad City has won over me and the missuz.

If that promo does not make you howl or at least guffaw, you're a lousy human being.
