what's ironic is that every other store
we drive by
is a gun shop oh okay so then what's
satire
nobody really knows welcome to watch
mojo and today we're counting down our
picks for the top 10
funniest archer moments a
quasi-independent freelance
international spy
organization don't worry about it i kind
of feel like i should okay
fine so during the boring parts just
scream outlaw country
yeah absolutely not do you want ants
because
that's how you get ants for this list
we're looking at the most quotable and
hilarious scenes from this animated
series
which archer moment still makes you
scream laugh let us know in the danger
zone below
number 10 gravity oh my god pam i forgot
to give mr archer one of the public
records that came back on that guy's
address what his license
well i mean it was kind of a license in
the episode that won an emmy for
outstanding animated program
archer lana and rey infiltrate a divorce
lawyer's mansion to retrieve a valuable
disc
there's just one problem cheryl carroll
whatever you want to call her neglected
to inform them about the guard dogs
which tear away at archer
at lana's request archer is able to turn
his screams of agony down to a whisper
as if his voice box has a dial from here
it's literally all downhill for archer
who loses balance and falls off the
balcony the treats give him the treats
although the witty dialogue is the
show's strongest suit seeing archer
tumble down a seemingly endless cliff is
physical comedy gold
of course archer does deliver a sharp
one-liner upon
finally reaching the bottom
[Music]
gravity number nine train fight pretty
much my whole life i've wanted to fight
some guys on the roof of a speeding
train well if i know my boys you may
just get your wish
big guy oh thanks freddie foreshadowing
archer always makes
impeccable use of its environments and a
speeding train provides leeway for some
great comedic set pieces and what are
you gonna do
i am going to fulfill my lifelong dream
pursuing bomber kenny bilko atop the
train
archer sees this as a golden opportunity
to take part in a classic action
sequence
oh my god this is going to be awesome
archer isn't prepared however for the
strong dusty winds
the adjacent oncoming train or tunnels
when archer does finally catch up to
kenny it's not the epic fight he had
envisioned
do people do this you're still just on
the train
i know right although i guess sometimes
there's a helicopter do you have a
helicopter
um nope after briefly trading punches
and insults
archer and kenny find themselves stuck
between two groups dressed as canadian
mounties
hold it right there boys royal canadian
mountain police
just when it looks like the situation
can't get any more chaotic
cheryl's pet ocelot runs onto the scene
culminating with a panicked shootout
archer is like a magnet for animal
attacks
no baboo that was all sarcasm
yes all of it number eight animal farm
that
was phase two did not like
wait till you see phase three
there is no phase three just a little
space humor the two-parter space race
has no shortage of space humor complete
with memorable nods to sci-fi classics
the funniest reference isn't to a work
of sci-fi though but to george orwell's
1945 allegorical novella animal farm
okay you heard him uh i heard him tell
you to do it and i'm telling you to do
it and i'm telling you that i didn't
sign up for animal farm
in space wait there are animals when a
guard mentions the stalinist era satire
archer jumps to the conclusion that
there are animals on board
although the team is trying to escape
the space station they feel the need to
call out archer's stupidity
likewise archer feels the need to prove
that he knows what animal farm is
even though he really was talking about
an actual animal farm
archer's aggressive analysis of the book
attracts the guards
resulting in the team getting captured
in typical archer fashion
everything is jeopardized over an
inconsequential argument
number seven archer's rampage okay so
day two of the chemo fueled rampage and
wow
how you holding up not great considered
by many to be one of the show's best
episodes if not the best
placebo effect sees archer go on a
rampage after learning that his
chemotherapy drugs are counterfeit well
excuse me lana it's a rampage
archer isn't just enraged that he's been
duped but so has an elderly patient
named ruth
regis is the best no ruth you're the
best
while the episode is surprisingly
emotional in parts it naturally brings
the laughs as well
oh man what have i been doing chain
smoking joints the size of tampons
figure of speech still though in the
most uproarious moment
archer confronts three irish mobsters
involved in the fake drug trafficking
as well as some janitors although things
get shooty as he interrogates the crooks
for answers archer treats the situation
like a game show host
jesus archer what lana i said it was a
rampage still though archer leaves with
a name
and real drugs putting his rampage on
hold for a chemo break
yeah yeah you're totally right not a
smart mid-rampage move
and you think that is yes idiot i do
number six ants so do you see that sign
uh do you see that sign
well that's why so we don't get
ants the pilot mole hunt dishes out one
laugh
after another but it was this joke that
inspired a timeless running gag
as well as countless memes after
reminding crenshaw that food and drinks
attract ants archer goes against his own
advice by bringing donuts into the
office
archer hopes that the pastries will
grant him access to the mainframe but
lana isn't biting
with his donuts scattered over the floor
archer responds with one of the show's
most quotable quips oh is that what you
want
yup because that's how you get ants at
its core
archer has always been a workplace
comedy and this exchange will resonate
with anyone who's ever tried to keep
their office space clean
despite his qualms about ants archer
cannot be bothered to clean up the
donuts
which remain untouched by the episode's
conclusion and why are there donuts
everywhere
lana did that i do you want ants because
that's how you get ants number five m as
in mancy
so on the side of the timer there should
be a serial number that'll tell me which
wire you all need to cut
you got it yeah i see it ready since
first call as
per usual an already dire situation is
intensified by the team's immaturity and
ineptness
as archer and lana attempt to defuse a
bomb ray
chimes in to provide assistance now
there should be a dash followed by two
letters
okay okay so now i want you to cut the
blue
and white wire what ensues feels less
like something out of an action thriller
and
more like a frustrating phone call with
technical support one's blue with a
white stripe
and the other one's white with blue
stripes yeah and both are identical no
they're not one ray hun they're really
similar with the clock ticking down
you'd think that they'd stay laser
focused but the three
find the time to bicker nonetheless it
doesn't help that the video keeps
cutting in and out
the poor reception causes several words
to get lost in translation
including what sounds like a jab at
ray's sexuality second letter is dead
emma's in mike or anna's nancy god you
evolved
archer me of all people what nothing it
turns out that archer actually said
mancy
a blunder that forces the team to push
the bomb overboard before it goes off
m as in what nancy what'd you think i
said
nancy oh you idiot yeah i could see how
uh
then i was like you of all number four
cheryl
carroll's rant to lana when it comes to
rants few shows pack in more
carefully crafted one-liners per second
than archer
while it was tempting to single out
cyril's disturbing monologue about a
serial killer's hand it's only a matter
of time before you're out there
strangling male prostitutes then posing
them in grotesque and horrific parodies
of mentos ads
you know the freshmaker it doesn't get
more savage than cheryl
carroll's takedown of lana as lana
attempts to rally against mallory
cheryl carroll responds with a brutal
psychoanalysis
emphasis on the psycho without taking so
much as a breath
she details why lana is bound to wind up
just like mallory
you rarely know what's gonna come out of
cheryl carroll's mouth but
nothing can possibly prepare the
audience for her scathing words here
please if you really cared you'd resign
but there's no way you ever will
because you're just counting the days
until her face bloated in yellow from
liver failure she calls you to her
deathbed and
in a croaky whisper explains that mr
archer is totally incompetent and that
you the long-suffering lana kane are the
only one qualified to run isis and you
weep shameful tears because you know
this terrible place is the only true
love
you will ever know what makes this
especially
unhinged and hilarious is that cheryl
carroll doesn't even realize that she
was thinking out loud
damn what oh my god was i talking
number three the hot tub acceptable
behavior
this from the man who just tried to have
a threesome with me and my wife i was
being
polite meeting the parents of your
on-again off-again girlfriend slash baby
mama can amount to some
uneasy moments in archer's case it leads
to quite possibly the most uncomfortable
exchange in the whole show
which says a lot trying to unwind in the
hot tub
archer is joined by lana's parents who
are naked
archer is reluctantly persuaded to
surrender his own trunks as well
that's not even the most uncomfortable
part although the nudity does add
another layer of discomfort
how is it hot actually almost too hot
now that you
uh i'm actually gonna hop out let meowel
and claudette decide that this is the
time to share something
secret with archer given how they phrase
it we can see how archer might misread
matters
nevertheless archer makes the situation
infinitely more awkward by sharing too
much information
it's cringe comedy at its finest number
two
archer meets bob's burgers i'm just
burned out so take care i'll call after
i solve this mystery or
whatever despite sharing a voice actor
sterling archer and bob belcher are two
very different characters
in this episode however they're one and
the same bob's burgers is given a slick
makeover with an amnesiac archer
becoming the belcher family patriarch
mustache and all the archer crew does a
great job of capturing the look and tone
of bob's burgers
even working in a burger of the day gag
okay kids
who wants manning coleslaw and or
an explanation of why that's
funny when the kgb shows up though
archer's instincts kick in
while tina gene and louise sadly don't
get any lines
john roberts does reprise his role as
linda take the kids in the back kids go
in the back with your mom
rob what do they want campbell durger's
linda now would you please go in the
goddamn back
excuse me ike turner this inspired
animator simon chang to make a fan
short where the archer gang visits bob's
burgers which landed him a gig
on the ladder show isn't that funny come
on in mr uh
hi i'm archer hey archer it's bob before

diagnosed with breast cancer archer
believes he's in the clear following
surgery what are you hourly thanks to me
the surgery was totally successful and
now mr archer is
totally cancer-free
celebrating his clean bill of health
archer receives a call from his doctor
who informs him that his cancer has
spread
listen i'm uh kind of celebrating right
now so you may want to
hold off on that what yeah i should have
waited until your post-op results came
in
but i could tell your mom was already
crushed about the rain check thing
archer suddenly switches from his usual
bitter self to remorseful
only to get another call from his doctor
who now says his cancer is actually gone

a doctor
and i can say positively you are
totally cancer-free again
