Best. Burn. Ever!

The ratings were

AMAZING!

PainInTheASP: kronicfeld: Everything about the premiere was awesome. I went to the live show in NYC last weekend. They gave some teasers for the season finale, which may or may not have some connection to one of the creators' prior television projects.

Oh please let it be Ronnie, oh please let it be Ronnie.....

"Launching the Brown October!"

Anyone notice krieger sticking a (presumably) live pig in his pocket at the beginning of the episode?

skinbubble: I missed the first episode.  Is there any place/way that I can see it?

I was trying to do that yesterday (I wanted to rewatch it), but I couldn't find it anywhere (I didn't want to mess with torrents with this bandwidth I have).  Let me know if you do find it somewhere though.  Otherwise, I will just have to wait until I get home next week to watch it on my DVR.

Try watcharcherfree.com, they have everything else. They try to get you to download a video player that you don't need, but you can make the popup go away with the web inspector.

My favorite part was the "well, there goes the frying pan theory..."

Archer, who's that? Some kind of archer?

Sybarite: Whole page of gifs from the episode.

Awesome. Yeah, the fight in the beginning was awesome, especially juxtaposed with the "Bob's Burgers" meme.

Shoving the spray can in the agent's mouth and shooting it was priceless (in a cartoony violence way).

Loved the History of Violence opener. Excellent.

As someone who likes the Captain Marvel character, I got a kick out of

"SHAZAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM!!!"

Just watched the episode and Cheryl flipping right the fark out made that fantastic.

So much awesome corralled into such little time...

DANGERZONE!

I think I just about lost it at the "Ve are nut rubbers" exchange.

scottydoesntknow: from the very beginning with the Bob's Burgers tie-in,

So much this.

I liked how you could see Jimmy Pesto's across the street. Details!

NeoCortex42: Trollin4Colon: Anyone notice krieger sticking a (presumably) live pig in his pocket at the beginning of the episode?

Yep. Any other show, you'd expect that pig to be important to the plot later. With Krieger, you just notice the pig and move on.

/That'll do, Piggly. That'll do.

You just have to expect that kind of stuff with a cloned hitler

Dont' say it

it was pretty meh, actually. the pacing was way off between the good parts and they really dragged out the jokes. I didn't care for the bobs burgers spoof, it was too obvious. They could have done a much better job. I was halfway through a quart of bourbon by the end of it though, so my night turned out pretty good anyway.

scottydoesntknow: Let's just get this out of the way right now

***SPOILERS AHEAD. DO NOT PROCEED IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO BE SPOILED!***

Loved everything about the episode, from the very beginning with the Bob's Burgers tie-in, to the ostrich at the end.

Ohh and did anyone else notice when Archer slaughtered the KGB agents in the burger joint, the two "somewhat normal" kids (Tina & Gene) were horrified, but the bunny ears one, Louise, was almost giddy at the all the gore?


It was a brilliant episode, and I can't wait to see the next Bob's Burgers to see if they do something to allude to it.

P.S. I also hate kittens and rainbows and enjoy telling little kids that Santa doesn't exist.

Mr. Chainsaw: "Oh, and the health inspector is coming at 8 AM tomorrow so...you're gonna want to break out the purple stuff."

Something about that had me laughing and laughing. Might be because the disinfectant I use at the hospital has a purple top...

Archer is farking awesome.

And Lana is hot.

This episode continued a running gag that's underappreciated, but I've always enjoyed: Archer still has the tattoos of Dicky and the wee baby Seamus' names on his back. So many shows would have declared that irrelevant and discarded them as soon as that plotline was over, but they've stuck with it every time. It's so small a thing, but one of the things that makes this show great is the way they actually keep continuity.

Never seen any of Bobs Burgers, so I have a feeling I was missing the gist of half of the episode. Stupid way to start a new season IMO; with a crossover episode that many won't 'get'. Still, a funny episode.
/Cheryl is the best.

I noticed this last night as well. That is dedication to a joke.

Reminds me of the old Police Squad episodes where at the end of each episode Drebbin would say that so and so would be spending their time in prison along with Sally Decker and ...

I'm guessing most Archer fans are familiar with Bob's Burgers since Jon Benjamin is the star of both shows.

Mr. Ford needs to make an appearance. Maybe President Stan.

Pincy: I'm guessing most Archer fans are familiar with Bob's Burgers since Jon Benjamin is the star of both shows.

I've seen about 3 episodes of Bob's Burgers and all of Archer. I got it, but I'm not a fan of the other show. I knew Bob's Burgers existed long before I knew it was the same guy.

I didn't know it was the same guy until I looked up his IMDB after reading this thread.

Jesus, Mary, and Joseph Stalin is my new favorite phrase and I will use it every chance I get. I'm sure to the chagrin of my coworkers.

No, it was brilliant. You just didn't get the joke.

One word sums up my feelings on the premiere; Sploosh.
