But he's the perfect guest!!!

Yes. The best is in one episode when she says something ridiculous and he just says out of nowhere, "I love you, Mom."

" Coldplay was once an unassuming (and better) indie-leaning band:
slightly fun fact- i was in the front row of the crowd on one of the nights when they shot the video to fix you"
 
…they really, really didn't base gene off you.

It did happen. Leading up throughout the whole episode Archer was saying Luke wasn't gay. He refused to believe it. When Ray was asked said his expert's opinion that he wasn't, Archer crowed in celebration. He was overly-invested in his friend NOT being gay, which is homophobic. We know Archer doesn't hate gay people,…

No, it's not Shakespeare, I guess. But neither is anything not written by Shakespeare… although maybe you could enlighten me on that.

What the hell did you bring Buffy into it for? Is that supposed to be an example for what the simpletons would enjoy over Shakespeare? You do know the creator of Buffy just directed a Much Ado adaptation, right?

It's not politics in this case, it's unfunny humor. Or another way, edgy humor in Archer is often political and needs to be judged from that perspective. What should he have said to explain its unfuniness?

I can believe she did it, I don't see the huge deal. When I was 9 I read "Medea," "Antigone" and a few other Greek tragedies, probably some Shakespeare, too. Meanwhile my parents were barely literate, so with the Redgrave lineage and environment, I can see a couple years being knocked off and still maintaining an…

Seriously. The son was the worst part. He was almost completely aware of his father's negligence and disgusting behavior, but also for some sad reason kept up the closest ties over anyone. It was a weird psychology. It's like the opposite of the usual rich kid, who buys into everything growing up and then has to…

The whole beginning of the movie is him saying that everybody is lucky to know him and he has made everyone's life better with his money. Then the second half is how he ruined all his employees' lives. It's good.

So you just want to be a dick. Got it.

Your statement "Nothing can be funny if its a liberal issue at the AVclub, " is still bullshit and wrong. Almost every episode of Archer plays with liberal issues. It is always reviewed well. It's not you against the "Manhattanites." Don't say you're socially liberal and then say a TV reviewer can't be socially…

What?? Who said she doesn't know the show and hasn't seen the entire thing? Either way, I watched the whole thing over the past few weeks, and I agree with her. This episode sticks out as being particularly lazy with its jokes and plot. I don't necessarily think Archer would admit to any feelings (although it's not…

Why can't you just enjoy a TV review instead of feeling all squirrely as your comment reads?

Do you really want to understand? Or do you just want to be a dick? It disturbs me how much people are reacting to Todd's review. He marked it down because the gay jokes were old and tired in this episode. It had no bite to it, it was just someone's gay for Archer, done. It's not even a "stance" on homosexuality,…

I don't think Archer had total gay panic, but perhaps Todd is using it in reference to the show's writing, not the character.

Deleted. The pages were weird, this comment looked like it was by itself and I misinterpreted it.

If nothing was funny at the AV Club if it was a liberal issue—Archer would never have any good ratings, at all. Meanwhile, this episode just missed the mark, and anyway got a B, not an F. Cool your frikken nuts.

Delete your last sentence so your post becomes funny and not idiotic.

Also first star-in-the-show (or maybe first ever?) lesbian kiss I believe, with Roseanne and Mariel Hemingway. Also Nancy's girlfriend Morgan Fairchild appeared more than once.
