Jerry Smith: Anxious and deeply insecure father who works at an advertising agency (well, worked.)

Yeah I get you. To be clear I enjoy the heck out of Rick and Morty two and would agree these are two of the best comedies on air right now (though I'd also include Archer and Bob's Burgers.)

Tonight's episode of Rick and Morty featured a fantastic performance by Chris Parnell, too (he's a regular there and Archer - see, H. Jon Benjamin, you're not the only Archer star to be in two things.)

Isn't Cyril's dad dead though?

True! If so, a lot of effort to get Kreiger into the intro for literally one episode, but worth it.

I wouldn't call it better than Brooklyn 99 in 2013, but that doesn't feel like a fair comparison as B99 had ten episodes that year and Rick and Morty had what, two? Three?

Maybe, but he's like, twelve? So that's consistent.

Yeah frankly the ballsiest thing in the episode (as an episode, that is) was to just end and give us essentially a long trailer in the middle of the episode.

I mean, come on. Cheryl and Rona competing for best country singer is basically the best thing ever.

So that's what happened to the Xtacles.

Doubt he will. IIRC he doesn't even think highly of himself as a voice actor (which is craziness, but whatever.)

That was one weird Gravity Falls episode.

The gay guys hired by Castro in "Honeypot" also showed up.

Cheryl gets a pass because she is nuts though.

Yeah, Bilbo's dead, it's just the episode order was a bit weird (with him being dead in an episode and then dying in a subsequent one.)

Probably through some horrific Krieger experiment.

The moment I read somewhere on the internet that there'd be a major death at ISIS, I knew it'd be Brett.

Archer actually says 'Archer Vice' at the end, so I think it's the most explicitly fourth wall joke the show's ever done. So I'm figuring that is the season.

It's kind of weird to see Lucky Yates in that opening, though, because it's the old spy opening, which I thought might be ditched now that this is Archer Vice.

Try though I might, I can’t really think of anything at all similar to what Archer does in the premiere of its fifth season.
