I haven't gotten past Season 5 yet, but will it make sense the mom won't be on the show, or will they have to make up a reason? No spoilers please!
Skip the dream coma eras
Nothing happens in them. They never come back, it's the same tired jokes/plot lines with a new coat of paint
It's amazing they got away with it for 3 seasons and not get cancelled
Thanks for the heads up! Which seasons are those? I know there is one that's like a noir or something
8-10
Thanks friend!
I don't agree with him. Maybe skip the dream seasons at first, then watch them if you want more once you're over with the series.
They do have something to offer, and the first two can be watched as a long movie (they're not episodic at all, it's a linear self contained story).
>(they're not episodic at all, it's a linear self contained story).
which is why they suck
there's a noir one, a jungle adventure one, and a space/future one
i'd argue they're worth watching solely because of how they end the space arc and transition out of the coma back to the real world.
the post-coma seasons are slow but after 3 full seasons of filler it was just so nice in comparison
People commonly consider S4 or S5 to be the last good season worth watching.
Oh no seriously?? I came late to the show and have been marathoning it. That's a real bummer to hear cus I really like it
so just keep watching it you dolt
Don't listen to him, every season is considered "the last good season" by different people.
Lots of people say anything past season 2 is trash, others say season 5 jumped the shark, others dropped it during the dream seasons.
It has ups and downs but make your own opinion
Basically after Archer Vice (S5)...
>S6 - work for the CIA
>S7 - become PIs
>S8 - coma: noir
>S9 - coma: (1930s?) island adventure
>S10 - coma: space adventure
>S11-12: they are back to being spies
The show is stale by S6. S7 just continues a downward trend. The coma seasons may as well be different shows as the characters don't act like their 'real-selves' (and change each coma season). In retrospect S5 is the start of the decision-making to shake things up that happened in S7-10. Despite returning to being spies, by S11-12 the dynamics of the characters and the setting has changed too much to recapture S1-4. The show would have been better served if it had only ran for 4 to 7 seasons, and had a clear end goal in mind.
disabled archer sucks ass, not fun anymore...
He's not disabled anymore
Who still watching this?
A lot of fans jumped ship during the cocaine season
Even more fleed after the fan fic seasons
There's never threads discussing it when it airs
Only critical reviews are saying it should have been canceled ages ago
Even hard to watch the older seasons now cause they ran the funny jokes into the ground
Jessica Walter is fricking dead
Veiws have been under a million for years
Really, how is it still running?
Background noise to put on and also that sweet chocolate goddess and her fat choco milk breasts
Lana is the most unlikable and morally bankrupt character in the show
same reason Simpsons and Futurama kept chugging along. Established IP
Simpsons and Futurama are still remembered a lot more fondly and sell merch, streaming/synication rights. people are still shocked when you tell them Archer is still going. Like there's no fanfare, negative or positive when they anounce more episodes, no one is making memes about Archer clips years later on
Classic Simpsons and Futurama still feels freash, Archer's humour feels a time a dozen other talky adult animation shows
while it might certainly be below classic Simpsons and Futurama, Archer is still leagues above Family Guy and its offspring. those shows (Big Mouth etc.) really are unapologetically lazy and just straight up terrible. Archer has (had) its own thing going on, with the intentionally clumsy animation and fast paced dialogue
>b-but the normalgay masses aren't celebrating and consooming it together on twitter!
That's more of a selling point if you ask me
I don't disgree but it is a telle-telle sign that it's still making money
“adult” sitcom cartoons are all fricking trash.
I watch real children’s cartoons to maintain wholesomeness and childlike wonder and innocence, because I’m an adult whose mature enough to understand these are things to be desired, respected, and protected.
Chuds and basedsippers alike watch degenerate “adult” cartoon trash because they’re children who are still so immature they think cursing and edgy sex jokes make them mature and cool and makes them feel like they’re getting away with something.
>My adult cartoon is so smart and funny lol
It is neither, kys brainlet degen scum
No, no… that’s people who watch “adult” cartoons unironically. Sorry bud.
No, I'm pretty sure that's the people who watch children's shows unironically.
>No, trust me, paw patrol is really emotionally satisfying and deserves respect
No, you got called out and you’re mad and deflecting. Any single episode of Scooby Doo mogs the entire existence of every “adult” cartoon ever put into existence
>Any single episode of Scooby Doo mogs the entire existence of every “adult” cartoon ever put into existence
this is objectively wrong as I truly love scooby doo (70s) but there's some classic shit around the millennium that truly outshines everything before and since (Home Movies, Dr Katz)
To be fair, this one is different from your average adult sitcom cartoons.
Most of them are still "cartoony" as hell despite trying to be as "mature" as possible.
Archer feels more like an actual live action sitcom that just happens to be animated for budget reasons.
you should seriously start to consider psychiatric assistance
>Anon says something based
>tAkE mEdS, recoils Shlomo
A tale as old as time
I'm still watching.
It's legitimately miles better than most adult oriented comedy animation, and it keeps growing and exploring new concepts rather than stagnating.
They're still doing "That's how you get ants!" aren't they
you stopped watching on season 2 didn't you
The coma season when they're on a Paficic Island
I stopped watching during the dream season. No idea which one that was, but after the whole drug dealing season shit just went downhill fast. Early seasons are godtier though. Also, I cant imagine the show without mallory.
Pretty much this. I tried 15 minutes of the stupid space season (which was what, the third 'dream' season?) and couldn't stand it. And now the best character's VA is dead. What's the point?
>phrasing xD
>Lana! LAAAANA!
>danja zone!
I've been a loyal fan since Mole Hunt, and I still watch it today, even though seasons seven, eight, nine and ten were phoned in.
A lot of people stopped watching after Archer Vice, and I don't blame them, but I still like Archer and watch it. Can't wait to see what Adam Reed has for the fans for season 13.
Just curious, what is it that you still like about the show?
Didn't Adam Reed leave the show?
I am. Id watch anything they throw at me.
I quit during season 10, which was what, when they were in outer space (dream)?
I thought Archer was done after whatsherface (bless her, sorry I forgot) from Arrested Development having died?
Is reddit so far up your ass that it can type all your messages for you? You need new material worse than the writers of this show ffs.
LOUD NOISES the tv show
it stopped being good at season 2 and they were already pushing it
Is that blonde woman Jessica Walter's character? How did they write Mallory off? Doing the show with out her seems ridiciously, she's been the leader of what ever the group is doing and she's Archer's foil
She ran away to an island with her ex husband
Well that's a nice send off I suppose to Walter and her husband but god, just cancel the show when one of your main characters dies
The gay dude only makes cameos at this point, he jumped ship like three seasons ago.
Really? I liked Ray but I suppose there's only so many times you can cripple him
It was voiced by the show creator or something, and he wants nothing to do with it anymore if I'm not mistaken.
Which is good, he's the reason it went off rails in the first place.
The new writers are a decent replacement
It was kino when they were spies. Butthurt gays will call it reddit but I don't really care.
They're spies again now.
Archer sucks and the art style looks like a fricking WEG
Archer is such a relic. Serialisation and calls back humour was fresh in adult animation when everything was trying to be the next Family Guy but it's an antique now. They are still running shit like phrasing and a character drinking into the ground so hard, it's in China
>They are still running shit like phrasing
No but they joked about the fact they need to bring it back If I recall correctly
Season 1 and 2 were great. Fast paced witty banter. After that the writers kept referencing the same fricking jokes over and over. By season 5 it's just stale. I only watch it cos jerking off to Cheryl is still fun.
Lost interest a while ago. First few series were good but ran into the ground since.
hasn't been good since season 3
Still would
Judy Greer's voice does it for me, I love how breathy she sounds
i want to rape her without even implied consent, if know what i mean
one day i'm gonna write a book about this thread. hmm hmm. a real smackarooney
This is accurate but I still like the first few seasons
this show and Trailer Park Boys are the biggest tragedies in comedy tv ever. start off really good and not too long after, boom. unwatchable bullshit
I really don't know why the first two seasons are so overrated, it's not that much better than some later stuff
Agreed, it's funny but no where as good as prime TPB
At least TPT got 6 good seasons and a movie, Archer has only 3.
I haven't watched Archer since season 7. I saw a few of the coma episodes but didn't like them. Who is the female character on the right and where is Pam?
Honestly as great as Archer was, the cracks starts to show as early as Season 3. Its still enjoyable, but you'll notice what used to be a very rapid-fire show where you'd blink and miss a joke (Not unlike Arrested Development) suddenly starts making long pauses for you to laugh at a joke, while also growing very fond of flanderization and running the same old joke or catchphrase into the ground for the billionth time. It legitmately starts to run out of material.
Season 4 is the first truly forgettable season because of this with some notable exceptions like Archers old partner showing up and being mad gay.
Season 5s change of scenery helps mask the underlying issue they are just recycling jokes in a new set.
By 6 the show is in complete freefall when it doesn't have this to fall back on. 7 was a pure repeat of this with some tired jokes about prohibition or something. It was the last full season I could stomach. A few episodes into the tropical Island season I said frick it and stopped watching the show.
Have they at least gotten around to revealing Archers father yet?
I fricking love Archer and I'm glad they're still making episodes. Yeah the quality dropped off, so what? It's still better than 99% of shit out today and I actually don't mind their writing being so stagnant and predictable it's comfy and minimizes likelihood of bullshit ruining the show.
I stopped at the season where archer has a kid.
Which one
The kid was named shamus or something and had a tattoo on his back? something stupid like that
After Archer wakes up from a coma it gets revealed Lana used his sperm to get a kid
this happens so much earlier than archer's coma you moron what are you talking about
The wee baby Seamus is Ciril & Trixie's kid but Archer switched paternity samples & fricked himself over so it's his kid on paper.
Nine
I could have sworn they had "THE FINAL SEASON" like 3 years ago.
>le adult animation
it's shit
Remember the mystery of Archer's father? That went no where and got dropped.
What are they supposed to add at this point?
It's either the former KGB boss, that italian spy killed by that fascist, the balding guy with the fried brain or a famous IRL political figure of the 60s.
All they can do is reveal it, but it's kept purposefully ambiguous.
It's got revealed last season, it was done in good way, episode wasn't funny but still enjoyable. That kinda goes for the whole season, you watch it because you like characters, not for the humor anymore.
Glad they stopped beating dead jokes though.
Kinda curious about this one, now Archer will fill Mallory's chair, good premise.
>It's got revealed last season
Who is he then?
A spy who was babysitting Archer on his first mission. He never appeared in the show before.
that was his uncle m8
his mom was a prostitute, so it can be anybody
Danger zone !!
They shouldve recast Mallory. Im sick of this fricking idea an actor owns a character just because they played them. Her dynamic with Archer and crew was the fricking show.
Since the show is owned by Disney now, I'm shocked they haven't
Oh shit, it is?
Well it's FX and FX is owned by Disney isn't it?
Archer if FX, FX was 20th Century Fox, Disney took over Fox.
Somebody spoil me this
What was Archers overly complicated plan?
I just couldn't get into the Noir season
Minimal.
Last few seasons have been good
The season with archer waking up from his coma and everyone dealing with the fact they're better off without him was nice and way better than jokeless island
I don't mind giving it a chance
after all the coma shit, everything about the following season felt like a breath of fresh air.
the dream shit is okay to stream all at once, it's almost like the garbage noir one and mostly garbage island one make the space one end up good, but holy frick i cannot imagine what it would have been like to watch it weekly on TV for those 3 seasons. it leans so heavily on referencing old jokes or subverting previously established stuff
Strange, I hated the space one but liked the noir one.
Island was meh
i dunno, for some reason the space one hooked me and then when he started having those flashes to the real world, i was on the edge of my seat
I think it was all over the place, with only a couple of actually memorable/good episodes.
The noir one (watched in one sitting) felt like a fever dream movie to me, I enjoyed it
A better question would be why is Cheryl so sensual? A woman so broken doesn`t have the right to be that enticing...
The last season was good.
I love the first few seasons of archer, but everytime I've rewatched it I always burn out around season 6-7 and stop watching.
I've honestly never even seen the later seasons. I think the furthest I watched was the first few episodes of Danger Island and that's it.
Yet I've watched the first 3-4 seasons at least 10+ times
Yeah the island made me drop it. It was so bad
I liked frisky dingo
American Dad is better.
How involved is Seth for writing this show? Earlier seasons was just "Republicans bad, Hailey smart Liberal!" But then it felt like Seth just did the voices and handed off the reigns to someone who turned the show into gold.
thirteen fricking seasons? I think I last watched season 3 or 4 and it was already getting stale.
Did it make a recovery or is it going the way of the simpsons?
I dropped 2 episodes into the PI season. Is it worth it to pick it up again? Are there gold nuggets in the later seasons? I think I stopped watching because I got burned out but that was a long time ago.
I have a fetish for tall muscle amazons so I stopped watching after the Danger Island season.
MASTER CYLINDER
The chicks are hot but the show is painfully unfunny.
Trailer looked good. Last season wasn't bad. It'll be fine, serviceable and chuckle worthy. Just don't expect much more.
:^)

I'm excited to see the patients have full run of the nut house now that Mallory has "retired". Can't wait to see more about Barry/Other Barry. I really like pseudo-matured Archer too. I really hope they add some young blood into the show though. I think if they went with a new recruit which is a walking zoomer trope that Archer tries to mould (& fails a lot) would be fun. Just please for the love of christ don't make them a SJW troony flag toting diversity hire. It would invalidate all the hilarity of their actual diversity hire episode.
