* This has become a running gag in ''WesternAnimation/{{Archer}}'', Archer has many intricate versions of this. At one point, he says the exact time to try and convince his mother it is really him. This has, naturally, [[HoistByHisOwnPetard come back to bite him on the ass]] [[CryingWolf a few times]] as the others start getting GenreSavvy.

At one point, he says the exact time to try and convince his mother it is really him.him instead of an elaborate voicemail prank. This has, naturally, [[HoistByHisOwnPetard come back to bite him on the ass]] [[CryingWolf a few times]] as the others start getting GenreSavvy. On one memorable occasion, we are treated to a ''minute and a half'' scene of the gang boredly listening to the live sounds of Archer desperately fighting for his life while [[SoundOnlyDeath messily slaughtering a biker gang]], waiting for him to crow that they've fallen for the prank.
