Go To

Identity Crisis

  • The complete dichotomy of the new, competent character who is being set up as a rival to Archer having Elmuh Fudd Syndwome.
  • Cyril and Ray each pretend to be Archer to throw off the bug that the IIA tried to place on the latter. However, it soon escalates into the two simply insulting each other.
  • When Ray refuses to get on the helicopter, Cyril tries to bail as well, but is unable to before the helicopter gets off the ground.
  • Archer accidentally maims a guy with the new jaws of life mode on his cane.

Lowjacked

  • Ray apparently made the mistake of telling Archer that his family tree is a circle, which he then tells everyone.
  • Ray took sleeping pills assuming the flight will be boring. He then tries, and fails, to stay up after it's revealed to be a luxury flight.
  • One of the features on the ridiculously decadent luxury flight is a dog hotel! Naturally, while preparing to fight the hostages, Archer stops by there to play with the dogs.
    • He also takes a break to sleep with a stewardess hiding in the baggage area.
  • Archer gets the hijackers to beat up Cyril by convincing them that he's a masochist who get off from it.
  • The hostage negotiator has no intention of having the situation actually ending peacefully.
    Negotiator: (interrupting the hijacker) Okay, shut up. Alright, I don't care who you are. I don't care what you want. Right now, I am smiling, I'm giving my boss the thumbs up like things are going great! (suddenly menacing) But when push immediately comes to shove, we are going to come in there and kill you all. And if a few hostages get hit? Thems the breaks! And I, am gonna like it. Then tomorrow, I'm gonna go looking for your families, your friends, and your pets! So enjoy your last moments on Earth you barely human scum.
    • Right after this, one of the members of the cops asks the negotiator how his divorce is going.
    • At at the end, he goes flying through the cockpit windshield to personally take out the terrorist leader.

London Time

  • Archer expresses how disgusted he is at seeing his mother in a Spy Catsuit.
  • Throughout the mission, Cheryl and Pam dress and act like stereotypical Victorian women.
  • When replacing the bug, Archer compliments his mother on how it looks, only to be completely disgusted after she replies that she modeled the breasts of the figurine holding the bug after her own.
    • He then refuses to rub in between the figurine's breasts to reactivate the bug, forcing Lana to do it instead while Archer cringes.
  • In the meeting after the suitcase it stolen, Malory makes Cyril stand in the corner and look at the ground for his screw up like a misbehaving schoolboy.
  • When Lana and Archer get into a cab to follow the guy who stole their suitcase, Lana tells the driver that they're going to a porn shoot.
    Driver: Bugger me!
    Lana: That's actually the title of the porno.

Photo Op

  • The lead poacher uses a binoculars despite the fact that he only has one eye. When his men decide to get him an old-fashioned spyglass instead, he shoots the one who gave it to him.
  • Near the end, Lana seems as if she's connecting to Africa, but it turns out that she isn't at all and just wants to get home.

Shots

  • When some women at a bar ask Cyril where he got his black eye, he says that he was punched by a twelve year old while trying to tie him up.
  • Lana, Cheryl, and Pam end up reuniting with Prince Fawad at a male stripper bar. Cheryl assumes that this means that he's gay.
    Prince Fawad: Oh no no no no. I just come here to pick up lonely, horny women.
    • When they get back to his place and Lana tries to sleep with him, he says they can take it slow, despite the fact that he almost immediately gets naked.
    • He later ends up dead in the middle of his room while slathered in lotion.
      • When the crew try to dispose of the body, he suddenly wakes up, revealing that he just passed out. Cyril lampshades the fact that none of the women actually checked if he was alive and just assumed that he was dead.
  • Archer tries some male bonding with Cyril, and we get to see what a typical night out for Cyril is like. It's just as underwhelming as you'd imagine.
    • He likes to hang out at the local planetarium to pick up lonely women, and keeps smuggling in wine even though you're not allowed to drink alcohol there.
    • They play Warhammer with Cyril's guild, all of whom are teenagers.

Dingo, Baby, Etc.

  • After Archer learns that their next assignment is to eliminate the assassin known as the Dingo, someone whom he had previously crossed paths with, he breaks two glasses before leaving the room. Malory comments that that went better than she expected. It then immediately shows Archer puking in a toilet.
  • In one flashback, Archer spills his drink on his lap in a plane. He attempts to clean himself, but he does so by sticking his hand down and saying "Oh my God" multiple times, waking up the old woman who was sleeping on the seat next to his.
  • Lana mentions an experiment of Krieger's wherein he creates helmets that can allow dolphins to communicate sexual consent.
    • Krieger's response is to yell "Smokebomb!" and run away.

Colt Express

  • After Krieger wakes up the scientist from Identity Crisis the gang spend some time trying to jog his memory because the procedure that woke him up gave him amnesia. It's later revealed that he's basically "another Krieger", from his interest in weird science, to his customized van, to having a holographic girlfriend.

Mission: Difficult

  • Cyril's fake IIA employee badge has his name as "Beta Cuckington".
  • Archer's exasperation when he manages to free himself and break out of IIA's HQ, only to find out that the rest of the gang have shown up to save him, and now he has to go back inside and save them.
