So in all the Community and Sunny excitement apparently I completely forgot to talk about the Archer three part miniseries titled Heart of Archness. Fortunately it's just the kind of sloppy blogging mistake that you've all come to expect from me, so no harm no foul.
Let me preface this by saying I read a transcript the Archer cast did of a panel at Comic-Con so I knew this was coming and I still squealed like a little girl when Patrick Warburton spoke his first lines as Rip Riley. H. Jon Benjamin and Warburton probably have the two best voices of any animated television show ever. That's all I need to say about that.
I do sincerely hope that the writers continue the trend they started in Heart of Archness by featuring more Ray Gilette. He was barely in season one and used sparingly in season two but I really like his character.
I cannot say enough about the awesomeness that is Pam. Pam is probably my favorite character on the entire show and that's saying a hell of a lot. She has about 4-5 extraordinarily quotable lines per episode and 'Cootch Chili' is one of her best. I hope to one day be able to wedge it into a conversation without being asked to leave the premises. Word of advice, do not attempt to order Cootch Chili at your local Wendy's. It's not going to end well and I still never got my Frosty.
Archer is one of those shows that simply does not seem to lose steam. The two episode arc about Archer getting cancer was so f'ing brilliant that I really didn't expect a lot from Heart of Archness, but the show keeps getting better. I'm sure it will surprise no one that one of the things I enjoy the most about Archer is the obscure jokes they throw into every episode. They blend terms like 'Chekov's Gun' and 'Johnny Benchian hands' seamlessly with crude humor and dick jokes.
My only regret is that we have to wait until 2012 to get more Archer.
