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.
Tory Evans thats why the show is so boring most of the time it forces you to go back and rewatch it all when not every one has the time for that
or be smart so you can enjoy shows with self-referential humor?
Ehh.. Different strokes for different folks
That's literally how all comedies work.
Anti-HyperLink not really
Archer's best line is "something, something, Danger Zone!" It's the perfect embodiment of the shows sense of humor. He's not even trying anymore, but it's still hilarious
my favorite is either “you’re not my supervisor”, “My earballs Jesus” or “Lana, Lana, Lanaaaaaa”
Mines gotta be "RAAAAAAMPAAAAAAGGGEEE!!!"
What about the fact that Archer has displayed fluency in Russian, Spanish, Portuguese and Latin. He may be insecure, but he is a cunning linguist. Phrasing boom!
I really thought they were going to get into that when they were talking about language, but didn't which I thought sucked a bit.
"cunning linguist" lol I see what you did there
Well played
Yes, but Cyril is a master debater.
Bozhe moy!
I got tinnitus in the army and every time my ears start ringing I say "damn you tinnitus moap Moap" thanks archer
God this is so fuckin relatable
It is the never ending gift, isn't it? :(
Isnt it always ringing, as per what I remember both Shatner and Steve martin saying of the damage their ears suffered on star trek and 3 amigos respectively?
OMG you finally made "The Philosophy of Archer" just like the old gypsy woman said. OUTLAW COUNTRY!
Scrotie McBoogerball I see what ya did there :)
I honestly did not see that coming...
Well done.
Phrasing!
They did it, they finaly did it! You MANIACS! DAMN YOU! GOD DAMN YOU ALL TO HELL!
Oh, I wouldn´t worry about it. If they don´t get it, it wasn´t meant for their eyes.
I use "Archerisms" in everyday speech. Like: Do you want ants? Because that is how you get ants.
And: You don't?
Yarek-Karey can’t or won’t?
Let’s say she can’t and I won’t?
Either
I actually used that a couple of times in a Mutants and Masterminds online game. Of my player's characters has candy powers and made a sugar wall and the first thing that popped into my head was that line. :)
or both
It's a favorite in my group as well. :)
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!
One caveat; Archer isn't the world's BEST spy, he's the world's MOST DANGEROUS one. There is a distinction.
If the danger is in how much of a liability he is, then that is a very correct statement.
If by that u mean entering the zone of danger
Danger Zoneee
It implies he's a danger to everyone, including himself. HAHA
meh
I still wager he is the best spy considering that when he actually puts in effort to the mission he can often do it with minimal focus, meanwhile most of the time he bumbles missions because he doesn't give a shit or someone pissed him off and he is going to be petty.
Philosophy of the *DANGER ZONE*
Phrasing will never die. The crossover with Bob's burgers was just a genius idea and the execution was flawless
Yes, really clever. Another reference perhaps worth making is the contrast between how often he doesn't get shot despite tornadic showers of bullets coming at him, and yet how often he is shot by someone he knows typically Lana
Did anyone notice during the Bob's Burgers crossover that while Eugene and Tina were horrified by the dead bodies in the dining room, Louise seemed perfectly fine with it? Too bad none of the children spoke...
@@steveshimer8531 and despite being nowhere near the gunfire Brett gets shot all the time.
@@steveshimer8531 Typically always someone he knows shoots him, Past friends, current friends or even family (his mother) lol while nearly every bad guy has the aim of a stormtrooper when shooting at him.
@@maxnovakovics2568 And Brett -- this blood better be cleaned up when I get back on Monday!
Archer screaming ''THANKS DODGE! will never not be hilarious!
Pam saying "shotgun" too
frrrr i loved it
I was about to say this lol
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.
Agreed, when watching this otherwise flawless video I was like wow that is TOTALLY a missed opportunity to talk about the inverted-expectation theme that is spilling over Archer all the time. ...phrasing...
Darren Semotiuk quality comment
THIS SHOULD BE THE #1 COMMENT
Thanks you've turn into words my thoughts about why make me angry end it in the next season
Kefka Branford it's gonna be so interesting to see what's gonna happen in the next season after his 3-4years in a coma he finally awakes.
But what happened to the others. Who cares for him after 3-4 years? And who didn't give a f about him it's gonna be so interesting
Call Kenny Loggins Wisecrack because you're in the danger zone
Timewarpiaman Don’t you mean K-Log?
Yep
@@withalittlehelpfrom3 He means Zone of (wait for it) ...

I think you forgot to mention the smooth cuts between scenes that toes them together through dialouge temporarily
That's one of my favorite aspects of the show.
Well this video is about examining the philosophy of the show, not reviewing the great quality of it in general.
You're not his smooth cut supervisor !!!
@@petrutorlac7840 season 8 and 9 brought it back
I love toeing things together.
I wanted to name my kid Sterling Mallory Archer but my husband said no.
Ironically that kid has dark hair and piercing blue eyes. I think I still won.
You did
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.
Krieger is easily my favorite character (keep your friends close and your possible genetic clones of Adolf Hitler closer), although I'm a huge Archer fan mainly because I share his undying love of lacrosse.
Krieger is undoubtedly the best character.
He's my fave too along with Woodhouse and malory
YES!!!! I find myself constantly quoting him, specially the "also, yes", "nope nope nope" and "GODDMAN YOU ALL TO HELL!" phrases.
Which Krieger is your favorite? So many to choose from...
I scream my coworkers names all the time after calling them ( they know its a joke)
Literally vs. Figuratively is one of my personal favorites that went unmentioned here.
The thing I love about archer the most is his obsession with completely random and unlikely hobbies. Lacrosse, ocelots, specific drinks etc. it’s so god damn funny.
Salvador Dali had an ocelot pet called babou
And his obsession with warring turtle necks.
You know that's another thing he shares with Bond.
"You would like those things too if you read a book once in a while"
- Archer, probably
@@catdogmousecheese you mean tactalnecks right?!
Archer: Woodhouse, she got me to quit drinking (looks down at drink in hand) oh not this, i'm afraid if I quit all at once the cumulative hangover will literally kill me.
My personal favorite Archer line.
"While Bond's sex life seemingly comes without consequence..." Uhmm...phrasing, anyone?
You know...
Said Ripley to the...
Bond had Tracy and Archer had Katja, the former never came back as a cyborg tho
The "masculine anxiety" concept is spot on, I was reading about how Adam Reed thought Archer up while he was wondering how he would would approach a woman in a cafe, and thought of a guy who had "the perfect line" to come on to her.
@retsaM innavoiG You know....
Hah! Men only thought they were under attack before, now they really know it...
@@maryleigh8990
Losing your societal autonomy is far more detrimental to the human psyche than an inability to get laid. That's a lesson many men don't want to learn; and those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
@@maryleigh8990 I mean..
Archer is the perfect “fuck it” fantasy. Bond is perfect in a way no person can even dream of. Archer is flawed in a way that relatable but has the don’t give a shit to stumble though it all and still win. In a world of online shame mobs a guy like archer is a dream.
Who else is convinced (besides Archer himself) that Archer cannot actually die.
Do you want views. Cause this how you get them.
you did it wrong... which in this context is right so good on you.
Well played. Well played.
Lol
Do you want likes?
Because that is how you get likes.
"...be sure to subscribe.."
YOU'RE NOT MY SUPERVISOR!
Seriously though, another great video.
I swear to god I had a witty comment that would get ungodly amounts of likes. Unfortunately I don't.
LLANA!!!
Mike Berkman
oof
7 months...
So, not a word about Burt Reynolds and turtlenecks?
*tactleneck
wait. is that even a thing?
Tactleneck™
Or Pam's raucus "Gotcha!" laugh when she over heard him ask the pope about absolution for acts of gay.
This show is the reason I started using "Phrasing" for a while.
Wait, are we not doing phrasing still?
lets talk about getting phrasing back into the mix
Azure Blackbird and danger zone
Season 8 was dark as hell but i loved every moment.
What is phrasing ???
(some pun involved a reference to carol/ Cheryl, Ray's broken robot legs,fires, booze, Pam cocaine, choke sex, the sex paddle, phrasing,wait are we still doing phrasing?, lana's big hands,heroine, voice mail Gag,robot vagina in the sink, and/or DAAANGERRR ZOOOOONE!!!!!! )
Edit. Dear lord,there are a lot of inside jokes in this show.
Aw, damnit, I had something for this....
Adam Reed is a horn dog.
my opinions are facts seriously though are we still doing phrasing
Are we Still doing Phrasing ... Said Ripley to the android Bishop....
Do you want ants? Because that's how you get ants
Also, "Lana, Lana, LANAAAAAAAA!" and Sploosh
This is Ian Dawe here and I just want to say thank you so much! I'm very flattered, seriously. Glad my observations were of some use!
Can you prove you're Dawe?
This is Patrick.
Can we read your essay?
The dialogue in Archer is both hysterically absurd and at the same time more realistic than almost all other tv-series.
I mean, I've never had a group conversation where people don't interrupt each other constantly or aren't fighting to be heard.
I know, right?!
The moral of Archer is that using mechanisms like alchoholism, violence, sex, and other negative outbursts is not effective for dealing with anxiety and stress in the long term.
(Edit:Addendum: If you disagree go ahead. Art is what you see it for and if you see something else that's awesome.)
LordMatt48 I think it works for Pam at least.
*negative*
No
Duh, and/or hello.... how could it not?
.....boop!...
I disagree, at least until you do something stupid that comes and bites you in the ass, which causes even more stress lol.
Philosophy of Arrested Development, please.
Noel Garibay I’d watch that in a heart beat
Please Wisecrack!!!! This show needs a video!!!
True. You really don't have Archer without Arrested Development AND Frisky Dingo.
What a glorious suggestion!
1000% yes. We need to generate more likes in the hopes wisecrack will do a series on A.D.
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.
he's really moral but pretends not to be. and really fucking smart and acts stupid
Like at the end of S11, Archer said this awfully true line "Did you people ever consider that you need me around because you want the excuse to be your worst selves?!"
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.
Even Rick and Morty used "Phrasing" as a gag (in the comics).
On that note, when Wisecrack needs to take a break from Rick and Morty do MORE ARCHER STUFF MAN.
endplanets nah
Not enough in archer really
there are a rick and morty comic?
Do you want ants? Because that’s how you get ants!
Anyone?
no. You ruined it
Also yes.
That's why we can't have nice things
Wii Sports LMAO
I loved when Krieger almost turned himself into Antagone lol

Lana?
Lana?
LANNA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WHAT????!!??
WHAT!
danger zone
I named my dog Lana specifically for this reason
Gregor Arsenyan Thats fucking amazing! 😂
The Philosophy of Bojack Horseman. I would love to see a Psychological analysis of each of the characters since you can easily determine aspects of anxiety and depression through a lot of the characters
Ajax a success - stop. Tehran is ours - stops. Merry Xmas from Mommy and Uncle Kermit.
And be nicer to woodhouse
I felt like the only person on earth who got the joke when Archer referenced Bartleby. Which made it so much better.
Nope. I got it too, but Archer sends me and hubby both running to Google regularly. Any show that can do that is aces in my book!
That's my point. The most obscure I remember is in Season 5 when Cyril conks him on the head with the fire extinguisher and Archer mentions that's how Len Koenecki died. archer.wikia.com/wiki/Archer_Vice:_Smugglers%27_Blues
When Pam walks into Malory's office and says "Looks like Jonestown up in here". When I looked that up...just WOAH. I even listened to the full recording as well.
Spoiler alert dude.....ah nevermind...you ruined it
@Adam Sanders
You weren’t
The communication/rule breaking premise may be a little undermined by Archer & co. regularly debating grammar and proper english, then using it.
Phasing.
Yes well done Aaron, some strangers on the internet are now aware you know some big words. Nice 👍
James Wagstaff Hell yeah, make fun of people for using big words and completely ignore their point! We need to keep in mind that this is the age of President Trump's Twitter politics, so we must dumb everything down.
SittingOnAPorch LOL HAHAHA
SittingOnAPorch good observation
Happy Archer finally got one. But I think you missed an opportunity to talk about archers view of mortality
Or lack thereof.
Absolutely Connie,
I love when Gillette pretends to be crippled(again!) just to force Archer to admit his contempt for his own Mortality despite his many close calls with Death,
again this is a gag, and a fourth wall breaker as if Archer is aware in a quasi(not incenstual!) "Truman Show-esque" way that he is the STAR of his own show...either that or is just deluded enough to think so...damn,
WE NEED TO GO DEEPER!(Phrasing BOOM!)
more like lack of lol
Archer at least believes kids shouldn't be harmed, abused or raped. He also goes out of his way to protect kids.
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.
That's a great point and took me a while to figure out - with 60's cars and cell phones
well you gotta remember, the 60s and 70s were basically closest to the atomic era. There definition of the future, and what we precieve as the future changed with the technological crunches. With there versions of tech, it was top of the line. With ours, it is still top of the line, but just the same thing only with better features.
The timeline was never attempting to be consistent.
archer was born in 1948 (based on the wiki page) and in season 1, Lana tells Archer he was "dragging a 35-year-old umbilical cord." so 1980s?
but burt reynolds looks already old
This show exceeds all others I've experienced in being great when sober, but _awesome_ when stoned.
Something about the timing in lines like 'Stop looking at me. Food.'
Archer is the kinda show that can only have hardcore fans. You can’t just watch one episode of an arbitrary Archer season and enjoy it, the fun comes from rewatching the seasons over and over again, it’s one of my favorite shows ever. Seen every season bar season 8 at least 20 or 30 times because I always watch Archer before going to sleep
I will forever appreciate this channel, you’ve helped me and my family a lot, your videos, advice and lessons are inspirational helpful to us,
I now earn every week. You’re such a blessing to this generation, we all love you
You’re creating a great reputation to this channel and everyone, I will love to achieve this great goal you are enjoying now

You were actually super on point, especially with how season 11 blatantly says how without Archer, everyone is more efficient and have functional relationships.
Sploosh!
Kal El wait Are we still doing phrasing
LOL
That's why we have ants!!!!!
You know....
I just couldn't resist this video, I just couldn't
Funny enough Archer having flaws and problems actually makes him more charismatic than the Bond character
Adam Reed and the voice cast make this show one of the greatest. Reed's consistency in his writing coupled with the devotion from the core cast have allowed them to develop more and more quality over time
Archer's perpetual adolescence is in his voice, too: Deep, but somehow his voice also breaks like a teenager.
My life would certainly suck "a buffet of dicks" if I never discovered Archer. BRILLIANT writing, PERFECT voice casting, animation and production create Archer's perfect package! (Phrasing?) Thanks for the work you do folks..it is very much appreciated!!
I play archer seasons over and over again in my shop, it never stops. Every time I have a couple minutes to watch, I laugh.
I have watched Archer so many times that I sometimes put it on as i am about to go to sleep and just listen to the words as I close my eyes and picture the situation they are in. I never realized part of that enjoyment of listening to it was the use of all these auditory jokes. Also I never noticed how much Freud had truly influenced the show. Archer is basically James Bond mixed with Burt Reynolds with a Freudian complex. I loved this video!!!!!!

An episode on the philosophy of Metal Gear Solid (or any of the characters within it) would be as long as the cutscenes themselves.
Brb gonna do some youtube digging
Ever since I started watching Archer on netflix it comes up in my youtube recommendations. This shit goes deep wow
Phrasing!
Also Bing seems to be doing the same thing
Thanks for subtitles!
Am I the only one to have watched all 8 seasons of Archer more than 5 times?
Most likely
Im on my third run :)
Way ahead of you, buddy
Yessssssss I've been waiting for this
Man I got excited when I saw you uploaded this video. Great work, as always
aaaahhh this is so awesome thank you so much for making this video! :D
Thanks Dodge!
2:01 I love the idea of a 5 min scene where bond makes an expense report.
FINALLY ONE ON ARCHER!!! love you guys !!!!! keep it up my dudes
Wooooo!!! I was waiting forever for this, thank you Wisecrack!
DANGER ZOOOOONE
Also, he keeps fucking up, but it never really matters. There's something soothing about that.
What's funny is Archer seems totally hopeless a lot of the time but when he kicks into full spy mode he is really excellent. His driving during chase scenes, the way he (generally) handles fight scenes, all that. Even Lana had to admit he's really good (as much as she hated doing it). :)
Lol why so?
Tyko Brian
I don't know. In my job every single detail seems so damn important and if something goes not as expected, it's like the end of the world.
So when I look at Archer, see how little he cares when everything goes south and how in the end it didn't really matter, it just calms me down somehow.
I could see that. :)
Chris McWilliams the man beat up like 7 military agents and an entire biker gang
Thanks. Definitely looking at this show in a new light.
I have waited so long for this and thank you :)
Great, now I'm going to spend all evening watching Archer again, thanks a lot.
Jerk lol
Great analysis : ) I always thought this show was about language before parody, reference or nostalgia. Its a rare example of a show that has the written word as a key element of story telling at its core. Filthy but extremely funny. Although I found the last season jarring, I think the creators have earned where they want to take these characters and stories. I find it worth the Netflix subscription alone.
I love you wisecrack, it’s fun to see thought provoking look at some of my favorite shows
Awesome video. Archer was always my favorite series to just let rolling in my house so I could listen those episodes for the nth time while doing something else. And now I think I understand why this series is so good to listen. I remembered another running gag that is basically just the character miscomunicating, that is the "what part you didn't understand?" "the core concept". Awesome.
And about Archer getting the health issues of his life style, I remembered also he mentioning that it would not be unreal for him to get lead poisoning for the many many many many times he got shot, and that he is lucky it never came up.
My Christmas MIRACLE
The person narrating this video is Brett with a voice changer.
That was some epic BSing.
I would remind you that Archer gave away "stir friday" to Cyril when Archer wanted access to the server to clear his expense account.
He is not always one down when bantering.
Something underrated is the transitions in this show
Oh man they're godly.
Philosophy of Avatar the Last Airbender. Or is it supposed to be things you don't already think of as philosophical?
Jerius Andrawos Dude Avatar is rooted in a shit ton of Buddhist philosophy. The episode the Guru showcases it perfectly.
Um... the way the airbenders choose aang is the same way the dalai llama is chosen
And as the other person said, shitloads of eastern philosophy
Not Buddhist because Buddhists don’t believe in souls, that’s Hindus, but a solid 6/10
You want the philosophy of Archer? Because that's how you get its philosophy.
PHRASING
Replacing “Phrasing” is like trying to replace “Thats what she/he said.” It can’t be done. They are iconic!✌🏾👍🏾🤣
But the show did replace “That’s what she/he said”.
@ 13:54 Wait a minute, you had something for this... THE LETTER 'I'." rofl #EditingOops
Great way to literally relive so much of the greatness of Archer in just a 15 minute video, Wisecrack. Thanks, really.
I could legit watch this for an hour.
U should do a video on Malory. She has a very interesting history and character that explains a lot of archers childish behavior
this is a really good episode! keep up the good work
Good Video! Thanks for making it.
I think what I love so much about Archer is the fact that in spite of all the emasculation and failures of Archer to be a badass, he still acts with total confidence and as though he succeeded. He's like the tree in those japanese proverbs that never bends, but for some reason he doesn't break either.
Philosophy of Neon Genesis Evangelion
Felipe Sidonio oh yes plss
Yes one the best mecha show of all time and anime as well
Felipe Sidonio depression or apocalyptic?
This one is overdue. And if it's done. Don't do the Rebuilds. Classic and End of Evangelion please.
Felipe Sidonio oh god yes
Excellent episode. Thanks
Archer is quite honestly what happens when you put everything into Luck, Agility, and Endurance.
While machismo plays a part in Archer's character, I don't think it's the central theme of the whole show. Lana is also an expression of female empowerment, and Pam a subversion of many feminine tropes.
But Lana is somewhat of an inversion of female empowerment due to using empowerment to mask her genuine need for male companionship. In fact she gets pregnant in order to find companionship with her child but that fails when she becomes obsessed with empowering her as much as herself.
@@RenaldyCalixte Does female empowerment really involve denying basic biology - that humans are social animals and most of us need romantic attachments?
@@joshbobst1629 Good point. I guess my issue with Lana is her passive-agressiveness with her romantic feelings for Archer undermines her beliefs in female empowerment. As well as her hiding her true professional career from her father.
@@RenaldyCalixte As someone who has been in several relationships where I didn't have much power, I submit that passive aggressive is sometimes the only available approach. As my psychiatrist once told me when I was lamenting my own passive aggressive ways, "well, yeah, but had you been aggressive aggressive, you likely would not have survived your childhood."
@@joshbobst1629 To clarify I'm not saying Lana's passion for female empowerment is false or lacks honesty. I wholeheartedly believe Lana wants women to be more empowered including herself. She has every right to feel the way she feels. However I do believe there's irony in a comedy sense to Lana's female empowerment based on her insecurity and how she hides it from the other female characters.
How about *The Philosophy of 9 (Nine)* ? I love that movie such a dark yet lovely movie. Its facebook page is a treasure chest as well!
CheesecakeLasagna needs a second movie or something like it.
agreed
CheesecakeLasagna would much rather prefer a "what went wrong" for that one.
Spectacular film. It helps that I'm obsessed with the post apocalyptic genre
That was some scary shit when i saw it as a kid
I WAITED FOR THIS FIR SO LONG!!! THANK YOUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!
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.
The last air bender or Korra!
Awesome new video! Just like the Gypsy Woman said!
brilliant editing
How can someone that watches as much TV as you be so brilliant and insightful at the same time?
It's baffeling.
