OT: Archer Danger Island

Submitted by I Bleed Maize N Blue on

Archer season 9 starts tonight at 10 ET on FXX.

FXX’s Archer is an original animated, half-hour comedy that, in its ninth season, centers on the semi-functioning alcoholic seaplane pilot, Sterling Archer, a lush on the lush South Pacific island of Mitimotu in 1939. While the rest of the world is concerned about the impending Second World War, Archer is only concerned with who’s buying his next drink. Along with his trusty co-pilot Pam, Sterling must navigate quicksand, cannibals, super-intelligent monkeys, poison darts, pirates, and did we mention quicksand? Welcome to the mysterious and deadly world of Archer: Danger Island.

The series features the voices of H. Jon Benjamin as the hard-drinking pilot, “Sterling Archer;” Jessica Walter as Archer’s acid-tongued mother and hotel owner, “Malory Archer;” Aisha Tyler as island royalty and local revolutionary, “Princess Lanaluakalani;” Judy Greer as the abandoned heiress, “Charlotte Vandertunt;” Chris Parnell as the obvious German spy posing as a businessman, “Siegbert Fuchs;” Amber Nash as Archer’s co-pilot and loyal sidekick, “Pam Poovey;” Adam Reed as impeccably uniformed French Capitaine, “Reynaud;” and Lucky Yates as the audacious scarlet macaw, “Crackers.”

Well, it seems there's already a Casablanca reference. Will Capitaine Reynaud (Renault) be shocked - shocked! - at gambling? Pretty funny that they cast a voice for the macaw.

Given the number of appearances of the referenced line / meme on this blog, I think the only logical conclusion is that we never did it in the first place around here. Still, we're hopeful that one day the question will be asked and that we'll be able to answer if it had once ben achieved.

"PHRASING!"

"On MGoBlog?"

"Oh, yeah. Disregard."

Speaking of H Jon Benjamin, if you haven't heard his piano album Well, I Should Have*, you should definitely check it out...

I still had a good time, the plot lines are getting a little stale, but it's still one of the funniest shows on TV.  Given everyone is into prestige and depressing drama and/or twee hipster comedies I'll take Archer any day.
