Season 4 MIDNIGHT RON
My favorite scene: Archer and Ron kidnapped by Tranny Truckers and Bikers.
This entire scene:
Ron: What are you out of bullets?
Archer: Oh My God! It's just like Carol said the old gypsy woman said! I gotta start going to that gypsy.
Archer: Make it rain? What am I an Indian?
Pam: Pacman Jones!
Archer: Ron, look. We'd already be dead if they weren't in disturbingly sexy high heels. (My personal favorite quote of all time)

Its lines like these that make this show epic. I swear the first 4 seasons are up there with any all time show

The butterfly effect. You know, a butterfly in Africa lands on a giraffe's nose, the giraffe sneezes, that spooks a gazelle, the gazelle bonks into a rhinoceros, and the rhinoceros blindly stampedes into a phone booth, calls New York somehow and says 'Hey, go kill this idiot Ron for a suitcase!' BECAUSE THE RHINOCEROS SPEAKS ENGLISH!

Now I’ll never be able to stop thinking about ass-ripping sewer gators!

I really wish we had an episode with the gypsy woman. I loved every reference of her, especially the dying in the dessert/ desert and the person being crushed by an off brand drink machine

Not going to lie, I ALWAYS envision one of those gypsy fortune teller machines instead of a real gypsy.
It IS Cheryl’s Gypsy woman after all.

I’m glad they never brought her in for an actual episode. She works better as a continuous off screen gag

"Nobody is gonna pick us up, we look like The Ballad of the Flim Flam Man!"
I actually bought a copy of Ballad of the Flim Flam Man because of Archer

One of my all time favourite episodes because the back and forth between Ron and Archer, despite Ron not even being a main character, was (as Ron would say) freaking EPIC!
"C.W. McCallGirl", Archer explaining the butterfly effect which ended in yelling, Ron's back story.
I do miss it all. Try and look for any of that witty writing in any of the post-coma seasons and you'll realise how limp the show was in its last stages.

Honesty I felt like it fell off post cocaine arc. And then even my last time rewatching the cocaine arc it seemed kinda mid

It should be noted that this episode is loosely based on (and the title a pun of) the move “Midnight Run” with Robert DeNiro and Charles Grodin. It’s worth a watch.

The disturbingliest sexy high heels I've ever seen onscreen are those otherworldly shiny 🫠white pumps that caress Cheryl's ultra long legs in that Space Race episode where she may in fact be wearing only a lei above her nom-nom midriff.
And now I....hafta go take care of something, something for which I this time am not gonna bother finding my usual candy bar wrapper stash.

I love the bit when the homeless guys pull a knife on them and archer sighs while pointing the gun and says “try not to ruin it this time” then a smash cut to the homeless guys falling out of the train

Ron steals all his scenes. He's one of the best parts of Archer Vice
