to recognize its potential as a tactical
garment the tactical turtleneck Lana
Archer the tactful neck before we begin
we publish new videos every day so be
sure to subscribe for more great content
for this list we’re looking at the jokes
references and elements recurring often
in the animated spy office comedy Archer
will be ranking them based on how funny
frequent and or memorable they are ya
know I mean obviously this was all due
to the butterfly effect so what number
10 Kriegers experiments I called him
Fister Roboto but it doesn’t just fit
dr. Krieger is among the weirdest
characters on Archer and that’s saying
something the show’s resident technical
expert precursors to devote most of his
time to numerous bizarre side projects
and experiments
these include human-animal hybrids
cyborgs robots a holographic girlfriend
a pill to make you gay and even trying
to give himself the proportional
strength of an ant most of the
experiments seem to act as a way to make
money on the side services eccentric
sexual fetishes or just because he can
that’ll do Pig Lee that’ll do
number nine torturing Woodhouse but if I
find one single dog here when I get back
I’ll rub sand in your dead little eyes
any decent person would treat their
ancient ballet and the man who basically
raised them from birth with at least a
modicum of respect but of course this is
Archer we’re talking about it’s how hard
is it to poach a goddamn egg properly
seriously that’s like eggs 101 Woodhouse
in spite of their long history together
Archer treats Woodhouse worse than dirt
frequently punishing him or threatening
to punish him for the slightest
perceived in fractions in cruel and
rather unusual ways this includes
rubbing sand in his eyes forcing him to
eat spider webs and failing to tell him
his brother died I’m sure Woodhouse
never gets a vacation good kidding I
didn’t even let him go to his brother’s
funeral that poor old man is then II
wonder he’s a heroin addict sometimes I
think I should just run away but who
would take me in no one would house no
one number eight archers tinnitus
ma excuse me ma it’s a secret agent who
leads a very active lifestyle one filled
with explosions gunshots and other
dangers
sterling Archer has plenty of injuries
and ailments over the course of the
series one of the more frequent ones
being tinnitus great great for my ears
the abrasive protagonist frequently
feels a ringing in his ears common to
the condition which can be exacerbated
or brought on by loud noises and he
experiences those in spades
damn you tinnitus you’re a cruel
mistress Archie’s favorite method of
normalizing his hearing is to repeat the
sound mop over and over until the
ringing goes away though his co-workers
take a page from his book on a few
occasions – number seven do you want
ants because that’s how you get ants oh
is that what you want yeah because
that’s how you get ants although its
premise is somewhere between a spy
thriller and a crime show Archer is also
basically in-office comedy the
characters bicker with each other about
things people in offices fight over
including food and its effects on the
work environment namely the fact that it
attracts ants might as well start an ant
farm several characters make the
sarcastic rhetorical remark do you want
ants because that’s how you get ants
whenever someone leaves food on the
floor Archer even references the joke in
a video made for the San Diego comic-con
making a pun with the name of a certain
insect themed superhero ant-man marvel’s
running out of ideas that’s how you get
ant-man
number six Burt Reynolds just watch
deliverance again huh I mean is Burt
Reynolds not the man in that growing up
without a father
Archer grew attached to pop culture
figures and by far his greatest hero is
Burt Reynolds about Lana just like Burt
Reynolds in white lightning the series
title character is obsessed with the
actor and references his movies
regularly to the point where he dressed
up as Reynolds character bandit up
Smokey and the Bandit both as a child
and as an adult we’re going eastbound
and down however the biggest reference
to the actor came when he appeared as
himself in one episode making Archer
understandably ecstatic oh my god you’re
Burt Reynolds yes I am his fan boy Glee
is offset somewhat by the fact that
Reynolds is dating his mother a surefire
way to kill any hero boner remember how
I said I kind of have a date oh that’s
kind
would your mom number five Lana Lana
Lana Lana Lana Lana Lana nice Archer
gets in the nerves of nearly everyone he
meets without even trying but one of his
favorite pastimes is annoying lana kane
on purpose Lana Lana although his
methods vary his most recurring strategy
is to say her name with ever increasing
volume ooh Lana Lana Lana
archers figurative pigtail pulling of
the woman that he probably loves is
incredibly effective too as she always
replies with an exacerbated what when
he’s done yelling
he doesn’t restrict his pattern of
shouting to just her though as he uses
it on his other coworkers as well yeah
number four Archer is voicemails hello
sterling sterling listen very much as
we’ve already established sterling
archer is a huge jackass his need to
screw with people is an all-consuming
one and few things illustrate that quite
as well as his voicemail messages hello
sterling it elaborate voicemail home
leave it Archer frequently leaves
messages that sound as if he’s actually
talking or else messing with the person
on the other line as the series goes on
the pranks become so elaborate that
eventually the characters don’t trust
anything they hear when he answers the
phone based on the assumption that what
they’re hearing is essentially an
extended fake out why did I tell you
number three
Brett getting shot
god damn it Archer every office has a
sad-sack and Brett is the resident one
at Isis only the office is a spy agency
the sad-sack
is the guy who always gets shot Oh God
sorry I forgot that did I get ya Brett
is often pumped full of lead whether on
purpose or by accident either in cross
fires or through ricochets though almost
always by Archer I will take you up on
that
right after I go to the hospital one
particularly memorable occasion sees a
bullet bounce magically down a hallway
and the flight of stairs to hit the
unlucky man Brett Brett’s questionable
luck does eventually run out though when
a bullet finally kills him taking his
running gag with him god damn it I can’t
Brett well he died doing what he loves
getting shot number two
phrasing well your mouth better get over
there and make toggled um phrasing it’s
no secret that the cast of characters on
Archer is full of dirty minded people
most of them have had sex with each
other at some point in the series but
the most frequent expression of the
characters minds being in the gutter is
the expression phrasing you want to play
me which they use like a catch-all
version of that’s what she said whenever
anyone says anything that can remotely
be construed as sexual you can be sure
this word will be said shortly after
dammit my box so we’re just done with
phrasing right that’s not a thing
anymore well the crew is taking a couple
of breaks from using it they always
manage to bring it back I want to try
yanking on the pipe phrasing but before
we get to our top pick here are a few
honorable mentions Grover Cleveland
called he wants his watch back Archer he
left two non-consecutive messages okay
okay
God your hands are like cricket bass
sorry

danger zone

80s including the film Top Gun as well
as its hit single danger zone Lana Lana

Archer frequently references the song
and it’s singer Kenny Loggins often
relating Lana’s interest in him to her
being in a hypothetical danger zone his
commitment to it is such that he even
gets Loggins to play at Lana’s baby
shower
[Music]
the show’s creators are no less
committed as they created a version of
