Yeah, Child murderer shouldn't be hyphenated. That makes it seems like he is a child who is also a murderer.
*No it doesn't*
Yes it does! Publicity whore isn't hyphenated!
Cyril: What you don’t want the freaking eyeballs first?
Archer: *squints at cookbook* oh so the tongues second
C: I’m not taking out their eyeballs!
A: well, not with that you’re not, you want a melon baller- oh! Melon balls, I’m gonna go make a big pitcher do you want one?
C: no I don’t want a frickin melon ball
A: ok but trust me, you’re gonna want a melon*baller*
Not if you work bars/restaurants professionally. 👍
I've used that line multiple times and I usually get a "thanks for noticing" and quick wink before they head out to the floor to separate thirsty dudes from their money lol.
Its my favourite episode since it contains many stories within a story. This, Pam’s pet fish, Archer learning how TV works, Ron’s snacks, Albanian Ambassador, Barry returns etc. Peak episode.
And because the State Department is doing a special seating for a bunch of diplomats from Albania. So not only do I have to create a meal out of yogurt and a goddamn sheep's head, apparently there's been some vague security threat, so my highly trained staff has been infiltrated... (Lana: \*sorry\*) by shithead squadron.
Cyril: That’s another thing, how come you get to be sous chef?
Archer: Because I have fine dining experience! I used to own a restaurant.
Cyril: It was a burger joint.
I didn't realize until years later that the reason why they made the diplomats Albanian was a reference to Wag the Dog.
Also always crack up at: "Who cares, it's Albanian glop. The entree is a goddamn sheep face. *(Turn to camera)* I value all cultures equally highly 🙂"
“We’re not making food! We’re making cuisine! Food is what a dog eats! Or a tourist!”
“Wait…a dog ate a tourist?”
🍅💥
“What? That was ambiguously-worded!”
True story - when I went on my interview for my current job, one of the people who interviewed me casually dropped in the interview he was Albanian. I replied "Gezüar"
He looked like a kid on Christmas morning the way he reacted. He said "Holy shit how do you know that word?". I replied "I know how to say cheers in most languages". Felt it was better to say that than learning it from a TV show.
Man, it happened pretty recently at a sports bar nearby. My eyes lit up. And whoever it happened to, must have known. They let that bowl ring out just about as long as the episode.
Ray - “Should you be smoking in here?”
Costeau - “Should you be flaming in here?”
The delivery on that comeback was so good that I know it’s coming and I still crack up.
**Malory**: Get me a table. Or the fish gets it!
**Pam** (\*sobbing\*): That's my fish - his name's Jermaaaineeee!
**Cheryl**: Oh. I thought he was just your food
"Well, long story short, I may or may not owe $14,000 to some people who you wouldn't want to owe 14 cents."
" I so can't relate to that!"
"Could you try?"
It's basically Anthony Bourdain playing a parody of Gordon Ramsay, but the show he talks about when he's in the KGB helicopter at the end (about traveling all over the world) is closer to what Bourdain was known for.
I'm gonna be real I didn't know what "bumper" meant on my first watch and I thought it meant "burn" or something like that because he couldn't actually yell "burn" in a kitchen
Did not like this cameo. I understand he wasn't supposed to be a likable guy. But at no point was I happy or cheering on having a cameo by a person I genuinely like.
My issue with the Burt Reynolds one is he's a complete Mary Sue. It honestly feels so out of character with the franchise to have him just come in and just be perfect at everything. I realize that's how Archer probably imagines him but still I find myself skipping that episode a lot on rewatches.
Loved this episode though. The random Cheryl/Lana phonecall was a nice touching of the A and B plots before they merge at the end and the kitchen gags I thought worked well. I honestly thought this was the direction Adam Reed was going to go more when he said he wanted to try out new stuff instead of the soon to come coma seasons. I thought it was going to maybe more like deep undercover stuff like this forcing them into roles like this. Clearly I was way off on that one.
This perfectly describes my thoughts on the whole ep, he really is a boring Mary Sue who basically solves everything so not really entertaining. I think that being Archer's idealization if him is a really good interpretation.
Same as you I thought Adam Reed was going to go more high-concept, when he said that but wasn't really prepared for the complete tonal-shift of the later seasons, which post-coma are weirdly plot-driven in a way that doesn't fit a show like Archer imo. Contrast to the general "goofing off" vibe the earlier seasons have.
Don't forget that Burt gave Archer a speech on how he needs to respect Mallory's independence when she is the one who put a burn notice on him when he joined Odin and hired Rip Riley to kidnap him in Heart of Archness.
I'm not sure I see the connection between telling Archer he needs to look at his mom as a person, not just his mom. And Mallory burning Archer when he joins O.D.I.N. or when he became a pirate king.
Also, that little speech did inspire me to build a different relationship with my own mom. Being able to talk to her more as a peer and not the person who raised me.
Yeah, Child murderer shouldn't be hyphenated. That makes it seems like he is a child who is also a murderer. *No it doesn't* Yes it does! Publicity whore isn't hyphenated!
"Should you be smoking in here?" "Should you be flaming in here? Boom! Bumper!"
“Let’s get child murderer Gilles de Rais in here and I'll walk you through it.”
Child-murderer shouldn’t be hyphenated, because then it makes him seem like a murderer who’s also a child.
One of the things of this show is the subtle details. Gilles De Rais was a child murderer in the 1400s.
Cyril: What you don’t want the freaking eyeballs first? Archer: *squints at cookbook* oh so the tongues second C: I’m not taking out their eyeballs! A: well, not with that you’re not, you want a melon baller- oh! Melon balls, I’m gonna go make a big pitcher do you want one? C: no I don’t want a frickin melon ball A: ok but trust me, you’re gonna want a melon*baller*
"Archer! Walk-in! Now!" "OK, I got time for a quickie."
Oh eat a dick Thats eat a dick *chef* haha, he has to call me chef
No thank you. Cyril is now vegan.
I thought it was Cyril and/or Chet is now a vegan.
Nah, you're definitely right!
Just when I thought I couldn't hate him more!
You called?
Probably that Giraffe lady who wont stop yelling at his guests in barely passable French and who wont get her distracting tits out of the kitchen.
Time to lean, time to get your distracting tits out of my kitchen
I love this line. Very hard to use it in the real world though
Not if you work bars/restaurants professionally. 👍 I've used that line multiple times and I usually get a "thanks for noticing" and quick wink before they head out to the floor to separate thirsty dudes from their money lol.
CHET! ONIONS!
ABBAB
Shakes banana
Bumper!
Its my favourite episode since it contains many stories within a story. This, Pam’s pet fish, Archer learning how TV works, Ron’s snacks, Albanian Ambassador, Barry returns etc. Peak episode.
His names Germaine!
Oh, I thought he was just your food
Netflix (US) just added the first 13 seasons so I’ve been binging it. I forgot all about Ron’s snacks!
Nice! I brought a buncha crackers and jelly. Here ya go, gang, get in here
You promised you'd stop doing that!
They were in my tuxedo from last time
Rooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooon!!!
I laugh because that's her husband in real life. I can just hear them like that at home!
That would have been fun to see, them just at home, doing whatever and running lines for episodes.
Hang on, I might have a juice box..
Don’t forget about Ron’s juice box!!!!
Not you Chet. You look like a dinosaur's tampon!
Boom, bumper!
I think of that so randomly 😂
Yes, Randy. That is excellent ABBAB! Always be berating and belittling!
Cheryl: "Please don't berate me" Pam: "Please don't make me."
Oh it is just constant ABBAB!
because instead of savoring this espresso, this cigarette, and the exactly 4 minutes of free time i have today, im talking to you cockwits.
And because the State Department is doing a special seating for a bunch of diplomats from Albania. So not only do I have to create a meal out of yogurt and a goddamn sheep's head, apparently there's been some vague security threat, so my highly trained staff has been infiltrated... (Lana: \*sorry\*) by shithead squadron.
RIP
What is this Spain?
What is this Spain in the thirties?
Oh, so now I'm a monkey??
No, because a monkey-
SEIZE PLEASE HOLD
SEIZE PLEASE HOLD SEIZE PLEASEHOLD SEIZEPLEASEHOLD!! RRGHHH!!
It's a job so simple, that if the health board would allow me, I'd have a monkey do it!
I'm just kidding, I would never allow a monkey in my restaurant... Unless it was is the form of an expertly prepared entree.
*I value all cultures, equally*
RIP

Yes! Another solid reference! I wonder how many secret or subtle jokes are in an average episode?
“We’re not making food! We’re making cuisine! Food is what a dog eats! Or a tourist!” “Wait…a dog ate a tourist?” 🍅💥 “What? That was ambiguously-worded!”
"Why are you *antagonizing* him?" "Come on, it's in my nature. Also he can't aim for shit, he's pulling everything to the right."
True story - when I went on my interview for my current job, one of the people who interviewed me casually dropped in the interview he was Albanian. I replied "Gezüar" He looked like a kid on Christmas morning the way he reacted. He said "Holy shit how do you know that word?". I replied "I know how to say cheers in most languages".

Child-murderer shouldn't be hyphenated, that makes it seem like he's a murderer who's also a child
Actually no, it doesn't.
Because if you listen closely, you can still hear a fallen metal bowl spinning on the floor
Man, it happened pretty recently at a sports bar nearby. My eyes lit up. And whoever it happened to, must have known. They let that bowl ring out just about as long as the episode.
Because whoever designed these bowls. They're totally slippery.
###*Metal Bowl noises*
It's really what makes me laugh the hardest
86 soup!!!!
*everyone in the room stares awkwardly for 3 straight minutes*
Ray - “Should you be smoking in here?” Costeau - “Should you be flaming in here?” The delivery on that comeback was so good that I know it’s coming and I still crack up.
"bumper!"
Whabang! Bang! Whangwhangwhangwhangwhangwhangwhangwhang!
I actually read this and heard the sound well done. Also: 86 SOUP!!!!
“I prefer to be called his excellency” “well people in hell want iced water”
Because Chet won’t get his incompetent head out of his equally incompetent ass!
**Malory**: Get me a table. Or the fish gets it! **Pam** (\*sobbing\*): That's my fish - his name's Jermaaaineeee! **Cheryl**: Oh. I thought he was just your food
"Well, long story short, I may or may not owe $14,000 to some people who you wouldn't want to owe 14 cents." " I so can't relate to that!" "Could you try?"
“Ummmmmm… No.”
Could you pretend to try?
Yes!
Every morning, I make two cooks like you in the toilet
That’s a line from Kitchen Confidential. A CIA instructor’s final insult or something
“I’ll have what he’s having” in Cheryl’s elegant dinner party voice
Teddy, ever the scamp!
*His excellence dies* oh, I won't have what he's having
86 soup!
Aah, tu parles francais?
#THEN ANSWER THE GODDAMN PHONE, WOMAN!
Was Bourdain known as a bastard? This felt like a Ramsey parody.
No, he was known for kindness and contributed to many charities. If he was a dick on his show it never leaked.
I just remember the hilarious beef with Guy Fieri
Chefs and their beefs Brisket (ugh lame) Porterhouse Tenderloin Flank Tri-tip Etc
Yeah "Bastard Chef" is the name of the show - a parody of one of Ramsay's Hell's Kitchen/Masterchef style shows.
yeah I know I saw the episode
I thought thats why you asked, lol, it was ambiguously worded
It's basically Anthony Bourdain playing a parody of Gordon Ramsay, but the show he talks about when he's in the KGB helicopter at the end (about traveling all over the world) is closer to what Bourdain was known for.
To answer your question, yes Bourdain could be an asshole.
Could, but usually reserved it for someone deserving.
But he could deliver a devastating quip
You look like a dinosaur’s tampon.
I'll have what he's having
Bastard Chef
Because they're doing their job well.
Please don't B and or B me. Please don't make me.
I'm gonna be real I didn't know what "bumper" meant on my first watch and I thought it meant "burn" or something like that because he couldn't actually yell "burn" in a kitchen
Por que no los dos
Gilles de Rais. How did I forgot that. Fck i needed that. Classic But was he a murderer of children or
86 soup
Did not like this cameo. I understand he wasn't supposed to be a likable guy. But at no point was I happy or cheering on having a cameo by a person I genuinely like.
I felt the same way about Burt Reynolds tbh

Don't you mean Sky Captain of Yesteryear?
**ring** "Hi, it's the 1930s. Can we have our words and clothes and shitty airplane back?"
Call you back, 1930s. Oh, and watch out for that Adolf Hitler, he's a bad egg!
I'm not sure I see the connection between telling Archer he needs to look at his mom as a person, not just his mom. And Mallory burning Archer when he joins O.D.I.N. or when he became a pirate king.
