    Something I've often pointed out about the humor in Archer is that its office humor. A lot of the comedy is based on inside jokes. Long-time watchers are rewarded for sticking around and knowing the origin of these inside jokes.

    Something else I really like about Archer is his lack of sympathy towards most of the people dying, getting hurt or suffering, but he shows a very sensitive side when it's about animals, not just the ocelot but in general. Or his reaction when Lana calls him!

    I'm surprised that talking about the phone messages hoax you didn't mention that one scene in S7 where Archer ACTUALLY calls his mother for help, but she refuses to answer out of the conviction that it's another if his elaborate messages. It's part of an effort in the later seasons to actively deconstruct Archer's figure by giving concrete consequences and weight to his antics: refusal to communicate? Leads to nobody believing him when he's in actual need of help. Going in without a plan to execute? In the first seasons it would lead to some bruises, worst case scenario a slap on the hand from Malory; in S7 it leads to Archer being shot in his closest brushing with death so far. Even S8, actually a coma dream, shows this with the slow, painstaking physical deterioration of Archer through the episodes. Every little fuck-up brings to a consequence, a tangible one, and Archer is at his most historically vulnerable.

    My absolute favorite part (especially referenced in season 5/6) is how everything just works out for him. He just goes from one thing to another, not reading dossiers, and finishing the missions based on a weird combination of gut instinct, skill, and smarts. I especially like it when they acknowledge it.

    I still feel you guys missed a huge portion of the philosophy of Archer. Specifically that he is an asshole without shame who ends up doing the right thing (usually), while his outer circle of friends pretend to be better human beings and are truly a little worse of an asshole than he is.
    Also he is kind of a reverse inspector gadget, where as gadget has no skill to a task and succeeds, and archer has an amazing skill set and still things go out of its way to fail.

      Most people tend to hide their flaws and expose his qualities, but Archer is the opposite of that. He exposes the worst of him to everyone, and hides all his talents. Probably because he is so insecure that he legit believes people will not like him, so he rather call for attention by being a asshole than risk to being alone. He is very smart, extremely competent, he shows that he legit cares about people, and is borderline heroic sometimes. Most of the characters of the show judge him harshly (a lot of times with total reason) despite some of them being just as horrible as he is. Lana is a hypocrite, Cyril is a selfish coward, Malory criticizes Archer but ignores the fact that she is dealing with the monster she created, etc. They just pretend to be good people while use Archer as a excuse for their bad behavior. They are all toxic, broken people feeding the bad tendencies of one another.

    He didn't directly address the issue of the timeline but I think he gave us some tools for understanding it. Since the show is parodying James Bond, it often gives the nod to the 60s and 70s which were the prime of that series. But just as Bond often uses tech that seems anachronistic for his time, the show can also use tech that seems as if it belongs in the future like Cyborg Barry or Krieger's clones. Also, Archer can slip back and forth through time to pick a pop culture reference because it's more important to make the joke than to be consistent.

    The show is basically Arrested Development meets James Bond with constantly off-tracking conversations by always lifting everything from its context or share it in the next conversation. They really stress out the importance of clear communication by constantly ruining it. And I think the one-liners that never happen are working better not being said out loud. They work with hiatus, granting an opportunity for the audience to think it up. The show tries to give everything more than one meaning to everything it can.
