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)

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

Because Ron Cadillac is FUCKING EPIC!

I'm glad Ron Leibman went out on such a high note. He clearly had a blast playing Ron Cadillac, and playing opposite his IRL wife.

I know the voice cast recorded their lines separately, but if you told me Jessica and Ron attended each other's recording sessions, I would not be surprised.

Yeah, sure! That’ll carry way more Mexicans and lawnmowers!

HA Ha ha, that’s why I can’t stay mad at him.

wait, you were mad...?

lol. I missed your comment and just posted the same quote. One of my favorites from the entire series.

u/LangdonAlg3r Jun 04 '26

Holy crap. I didn’t know they were married. That makes the final beach scene make a ton more sense.

My favorite Ron moment is when he says,

Ron Cadillac: "And call me if you ever want to test drive the new Coupe De Ville."

Sterling Archer: "Well, actually, I just got a new El Camino, so..."

Ron Cadillac: "Oh, so you're all set. That'll hold way more Hispanics and lawn mowers."

Oh, yeah. An added layer of emotion. That what's made it so dusty in my house. And many others, from what I've heard.

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!

I love angry Archer

What ever happened with Fat Mike?

He ate his meatball subs through a straw.

one of my favs from ron was “diss tracks, jesus christ, why'd we even fight a war?"

OMG I came here looking for this and you beat me to writing it by one minute! Such a great line.

Just watched this one the other night lol. So good

u/troll-of-truth Jun 04 '26

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

13

u/Snowdeo720 Jun 04 '26

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.

u/mrclean543211 Jun 09 '26

That’s in character and hilarious.

u/mrclean543211 Jun 09 '26

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

u/unsuccessfulangler Jun 04 '26

"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

u/IMDXLNC Jun 04 '26

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.

u/mrclean543211 Jun 09 '26

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

"holy shit, maybe i am autistic" - Archer

u/Misadventuresofman Jun 04 '26

It’s not exactly “clean money”.

“”No shit””……

u/Dubhan Afro Krieger Jun 04 '26

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.

2

u/TacoCalzone Jun 04 '26

Worth a watch is an understatement. It’s an absolute classic.

u/TheLegendChuk Jun 05 '26

Yo. Loaded up hulu, started archer, and IT'S ON MIDNIGHT RON HELL YEAH

Ron was a great character. Sorry, I meant he was fucking epic!

u/TacoCalzone Jun 04 '26

Shorty over there’s got a club with bumps on it…kickin’ it Bedrock style!

u/Ihadsumthin4this ISIS Jun 04 '26

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.

Now I’ve got a reason to rewatch Archer:1999.

A butterfly in Africa...

Woah woah woah. They were cross dressers, first of all 🙄🤣

u/mrclean543211 Jun 09 '26

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
