Hello TLnet
This weekend I was turned on to a WONDERFUL cartoon. Its not for kids, really. But it is "animated", not well. But it is non stop funny. I've only watched the last half of the season, but Im going to be starting from the beginning starting tomorrow.
http://www.hulu.com/archer
Its also available instantly on netflix.
Its about a secret agent, who works with his ex, and they both work for his mother. The jokes are gold. I highly, highly suggest watching, and would appreciate outside thoughts on it. The content is often very sexual.
Wiki's input:
Set at the International Secret Intelligence Service (ISIS), suave master spy Sterling Archer deals with global espionage; a domineering, hypersexual, late middle-aged mother/boss, Malory Archer; his ex-girlfriend, Agent Lana Kane; her ISIS accountant boyfriend Cyril Figgis; and a less-than-masculine code name—"Duchess".[7]
The series itself is comparable to Reed's former shows for Adult Swim, Frisky Dingo and Sealab 2021, in a series driven by rapid-fire dialogue and interaction-based drama. The series also features an anachronistic style: using fashion from the 1960s, technology that is a mix of '80s era computer technology alongside modern technology, and an alternate-universe style political status quo in the form of the Soviet Union still being active in the year 2010.

Watched all the episodes months ago, is one of the few things that can actually make me lol in real life
absolutely hilarious show, can't wait for the next season in...2011?
|
I remember watching briefly this when it premiered last year. Never really got into it, but the few episodes I did see were pretty funny.
|
Another Adam Reed work, I love his stuff! Check out Frisky Dingo if you haven't done so and you liked Archer, and Sealab like that wiki quote says
|
lol omg i just watched the pilot since writing the first post. While still funny, it is by far the most boring i've watched so far. So, to those watching, know that it goes up, up, up.

It's actually a pretty good show... Sometimes... It is definitely hit or miss, though the hits are hard, the misses are quite wide.
Still worth watching if you're bored IMO.

Archer is a very funny show with a great voice cast. I saw the pilot when it originally aired, and subsequently forgot about it until a few weeks ago when I watched the whole first season in a day on Netflix. It's easy to miss a lot of the jokes with the pace of the show and the dialogue, but there are so many good lines.
"That chick was like the Pelé of anal."
|
LOL i almost cried at that line.
And I like that even in the span of 10 twenty minute episodes they manage to have running jokes. heheheh.
|
This show is amazing. Blows every other cartoon show I've seen out of the water. 
+ Show Spoiler +

I feel like this show should be on adult swim. It is pretty awesome though. Thanks brian_ <3
|
Jessica Walter should play every overbearing liquored up mother on every TV show. It was great hearing her and Jeffrey Tambor bouncing lines off one another again.
|
Sorry to bump the old thread but this is probably warranted.
Archer's new season (Season 2) premiered today, check it out!
|
YYYIUUUUUUUUUUP.
God this show is fucking incredible lol
|
This is one of the greatest shows of all time i think. Funniest shit ever. Better than frisky dingo possibly and that is also one of the funniest shows ever.
|
OMG PEOPLE ON TL WATCH ARCHER
we just recorded it last night and have watched like 3 times since, SO FUNNY LOOOOL
|
Yeah I think I've got to get into this. I've heard about it a lot and the ads I keep seeing are funny.
|
Holy crap I didn't know it came back! Must kill mother.
|
I am so glad to have the show back. Loved watching season 1, can't wait to see season two. I'm a big fan of a lot of Adam Reed's shows, check those out too!
|
The second season hasn't been that funny so far, but this week's episode was pretty great and managed to have a bad ass and funny conclusion to Archer's cancer.
|
Dude. I'm fucking afraid of Alligators and Crocodiles too.
|
I'm about to watch this weeks episode!

I've watched every Archer episode probably ten times, followed it since its inception.
Best show on television.

Good reason indeed. New episode tonight!
|
I think I've probably gotten more literature knowledge from watching Archer and reading reviews on the episodes, than actual English classes.
|
siiiiiiiick, cant wait to see the new ones
Does anyone know when venture brothers starts up again? should be soon right?
|
thread hasnt been bumped in ages but everyone should check this series out.
season 3 is just starting but i recommend you rewatch the whole thing :D as theres lots of memes and recurring jokes. similar comedy style i guess to a lot of adult swim stuff if that helps anyone who isnt sure if they would like it.
|
I like this show a lot, but the episodes are very hit or miss for me.
|
Watching the new episode now, season three began last night.
Mothafuckin' Burt Reynolds guest starring.
|
This show gets a surprisingly small amount of discussion for being the best animated show on tv 
of course there prob isn't actually that much to discuss except for how awesome it is! My favorite episode this season is definitely the jungle one.
|
I love Archer! The jokes are so funny and I am a big fan of 30 Rock's Dr. Spacemen, who is the accountant. :D The expressions on their faces are always priceless. Definitely a recommended watch.
|
I just realized why I don't like Blake Griffin, he's fucking Barry from Archer.
|
Holy shit, last night's episode was insane. I just caught it and had to watch it twice. I've been googling all the references for half an hour too. The ending seemed really rushed, but that final few seconds had me rolling.
|
Started watching this series yesterday and I'm hooked. The pilot is decent but after that that it only goes up!
|
One of the greatest episodes of the series aired this week.
Sealab 2021 was one of my favorite shows of all time, so seeing a throwback to it was just so....fucking heartwarming.

Quite a few references to the old sealab shows. The only thing that could have really made it that much better would be if Harry Goz was still alive to do the voice for captain Murphy ;(
