* OutsideContextProblem: "[[Recap/ArcherS2E9PlaceboEffect Placebo Effect]]" features a rare example where the protagonist qualifies for this. The IrishMob was previously happily running nearly all crime throughout the city, having seemingly done so for years with no issues. They are completely blindsided when their counterfeit chemo drugs scam causes super spy [[BunnyEarsLawyer Sterling Archer]] to go on a "[[RoaringRampageOfRevenge Rampage]]" against them (as he was himself suffering from Cancer at the time and their scam led to the death of a kindly old woman he befriended at a support group), with them having virtually no idea what even is going on and absolutely none of their members or tactics being prepared for either Sterling's [[StrongAndSkilled capabilities]] or [[SociopathicHero sheer ruthlessness]] (one tied up mobster even foolishly attempts to pull a YouHaveNoIdeaWhoYoureDealingWith on him, only for the unimpressed Sterling to shoot him dead mid-sentence). By the end of the day Sterling had destroyed their operation and killed most of their men, but despite this [[TheDon Delaney]] is still [[HorribleJudgeOfCharacter convinced he's too "honour-bound"]] to shoot an unarmed man in a wheelchair, which Archer quickly proves him wrong.

** Somewhat justified by the fact that Archer works at a ''spy agency'', where he presumably has access to a plethora of fake ID's. Both of the above incidents involve Archer needing help to get ''back'' to headquarters, so presumably he also managed to get whatever alias he's using on the No Fly List/banned from Canada

* StimulantSpeedtalk:
** During the ''Archer Vice'' arc, Pam gets [[GettingHighOnTheirOwnSupply addicted to the cocaine they are trying to sell]] and becomes very talkative and irritable, not to mention prone to decidedly irrational outbursts.
** After Lana becomes the new boss, the Agency is tasked with destroying a cocaine processing plant in Ibiza. When Archer and the other field agents abandon the mission to live undercover at a local fishing village, Lana goes undercover as a night club owner looking to purchase a large amount, to which the dealers respond by making her test the wares, which leads to Lana going on a fast-paced rant about how her employees "at the nightclub" are worthless.
