I miss this fat little Hobbit
108
I keep hoping they bring back the "drones" (as Mallory so eloquently called them) in future episodes. The hobbit guy was great, this would be one of the ways to bring him back.
73
Also ISIS had a receptionist that never showed up again. She had this Germano-Chinese Jersey accent.
74
"I swear to God, Mr. Archer... I have HR on speed-dial!"

Scatter-brain-jane
49
I think she died of breast cancer
42
Was that actually scatter brain Jane?
2
IIRC didn't Bilbo have a heat attack and die around Season 3?
39
Yeah Mallory punched him in the chest and he died. Kreigar laughed about it while watching
29
I think he choked on his meatball sub after she gut punched him

Same here. I really want them to go back to being a "proper" spy agency, I'm tired of the "these 10 people are the only ones who exist in this universe" thing.
30
Sounds like you're not going to enjoy the next season much then.
22
Meh, I'll probably like it. Archer is Archer, you know? However, if they don't change it up soon I think a lot of people will get tired of it. There's only so much you can do with one group of people with established personalities and stories.
18
Wait a frickin hobbit works here?
20
Lana, they're called little people.
25
Maybe not necessarily the drones - but just more reappearing characters. That's something many long-running shows are guilty of. They start with a great ecosystem of many side-characters, and then, as the time goes by, they disappear one by one and the main cast ends up playing pretty much all roles. New ones are introduced but they are rarely enough, and this hurts the show as a whole.

The thing is, these guest characters tend to become less prominent. If it was viable to have them have X lines per season at the start, why isn't it five seasons later?
And it doesn't have to be the same guest characters. But if you kill them off or send them away or whatever, why not introduce new ones?
I definitely don't think it's an active choice though; it's just how creativity goes. In time, writing the script becomes more of a routine, and the main characters with their well-established roles are suitable for it.

I wanna see what happened to him, like with the armory guy, just a little meanwhile momment.
11
Isn't Bilbo dead? Mallory slapped him on the back and he had a heart attack.
32
He died of a heart attack after Mallory slapped him. Its in the episode where Archer helps the coyote smuggle in illegals from Mexico.
20
Of note, they aired this episode out of order, so in a later episode there's a line about Mallory killing him, but to the viewers he wasn't dead yet.
I really wish FX would stop doing that, they've aired at least 1 episode out of order every single season.
1
I feel like they mentioned him dying a few episodes before he actually died.
7
They did yeah. I think it was a broadcasting error where they aired the wrong episode? I'm not sure though.
3
Or perhaps not necessarily an 'error' so much as an 'exigency'
1
Didn't he die of a heart attack? That meanwhile moment might get a little dark...
3
I want to know what happened to him after Krieger got him to the lab.

All sorts of non-canon stuff in the pilot, like Bilbo being a twin, Archer having scars all over his chest, and him freaking out about a pug despite later on (S4) stating that he loves dogs, except for his mother's dog.

My 2 favorite side characters were Bilbo and Brett. They killed both of them :(
72
He died doing what he loved...
93
getting shot
75
looking at you mister bloodmobile

Hang up the phone!

Wouldn't that be a nice season 7 surprise, Cyborg Brett.
2
In Brett's case his joke would have become stale eventually. I'm glad he died before he got boring.
12
Cyborg Bret would be great. And they don't always half to shoot him. He was always kinda fucking with Archer too. I loved it when he laughed in Archers face about his breast cancer.
3
I never noticed! Nice find!
3†
He died of breast cancer.
2
Malory killed one... But I can't recall what happened to the other.
2
It appears as if they are all clnes almost, archer for sure. You catch him dying in so many episodes or mangled beyond belief. Not saying its the case but almost likemalory gets carte blanche from the president as she only works with clones.

They remind me of the cop from terminator 2.
2
Wait so Malory killed Bilbo twice?
2
You just notices that
1†
No, I've known about it for years... I just wanted to wait until March 4th 2016 to point it out in order to fulfill a prophecy.
80
Yeah noahtheboa what part of that don't you understand?
13
Probably the core concept.
30
Did the prophecy say to post this a few days after archer and Bob's burgers are on 2 simultaneous questions on Jeperdy
2†
Yes, but not because of the clues themselves... but because the point values of each clue, when added up and used as a seed, allowed me to decode the instructions buried in the text of the front page of the New York Times.

Yeah noahtheboa what part of that don't you understand?

They're not clones. They're brothers.

They're twins not clones. :)
Technically, twins are natural clones.
*said in Krieger voice
Technically, only monozygotic twins are clones.
*said in Krieger voice.
Technically... CLONE BONE!
*said in Krieger voice.
I doubt those two could get their bones close enough to pull it off. More like clone gut!
Of course Krieger did abscond with one of them after he was slapped to death, so so knows what he is capable of at this point.
Wel you say that...
*Said in Krieger voice
Ehh... Po-tato, po-dildo
Either and or both
*Said in Mallory's voice
poo-dildo
Nope. People have said that before but there is ZERO proof thay there was ever a twin. The reality is that they had limited.budget and used the same 3d model multiple times.( this is his only appearance, but many many models are repeated throughout the ahow)
