essines Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 Fucking awesome animated show. was called "James Bond meets Arrested Development". I find it fucking hilarious. Got like 3 or 4 cast members from AD and H Jon Benjamin, among others. Hilarious.

jeremymacgregor87 Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 Dumb, awkward pauses and clunky dialogue, just like Frisky Dingo.

Guest tv_party Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 I don't like it nearly as much as frisky dingo, which is pretty much the animated comedy gold standard for me, but since that's as close as we're gonna get these days I'll take it.

skotosa Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 (edited) Me and friends would watch it, sometimes while high. The appealing part is how everyone is an ass to each other. Sometime I can find it funny other times I'm just like we get it... your an ass and you do assy stuff. My friends natural humor comes from him being an ass and seeing others in pain so natural this was the show for him. I'll give it a 5/10 -8/10 depending on some episodes. I did like Frisky Dingo although non of my friends know about the show. So when I said "hey! This is a lot like Frisky Dingo!" I got no reply.

essines Posted January 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 i don't enjoy seeing anyone in pain. I just think this show is funny. I'd much rather see stupid violence and humour on tv than in real life (though i know the argument otherwise). Not being able to handle this kind of television is brutal. But i suppose most people are idiotic. *also i directed my post at no one, i'm a bit drunk.

baph Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 (edited) Archer derives humor from more than just general assholery. There is significant assholery, but it's satirized. You are supposed to watch laughing at the ultraviolent tropes and willfully shallow characters. I don't know, maybe hanging out exclusively with assholes is coloring your sense of humor.

No. I wouldn't call him an asshole, he just spouts the same kinds of things these characters do most of the time and I guess expects other people to be amused by it. When he gets it out of his system he's actually a decent guy. I don't see him very often either - he currently lives on a different continent. I don't have other friends that do this kind of thing, and I don't consider any of my friends assholes.

I don't have other friends that do this kind of thing, and I don't consider any of my friends assholes. See, I don't particularly like Family Guy at all. Family Guy reminds me of Dane Cook; it's not that the content is actually amusing so much as the pacing of the delivery sets up an expectation which somehow gets people laughing. But to each their own. It's all a matter of taste; I just wouldn't call Archer idiotic. Something like Two and a Half Men, yes. But Archer has genuine satirical and aesthetic merit, imo. There's enough punning in the visual language alone to keep it from being genuinely stupid. And as much as Archer is a boorish asshole, it's presented as a serious character flaw, and over the course of the series it's basically served to corrupt everyone around him; it's about an actual process of moral degradation, and a few of the characters (Lana) are trying to actively fight against it, winning a couple battles and losing quite a few more. All I'm saying is those flaws aren't unexamined--the whole show is devoted to examining them-- and that keeps the show away from being totally empty trash. That's not to say it's a masterpiece, either. It's just decent satire. Again, opinions.
