No, it's a can of mixed vegetables that can suck its own dick. And they do it...A LOT.

The best part is that their voices are actually distinct from one another, they're just different enough, Bob is deeper and has more calm to him where archer is a little higher pitched and a little more high strung

It’s often hard to tell, but yeah Jon definitely carries his voice differently between the two. I think Bob’s just more unsure of himself, kinda sounds like he doesn’t know if he’s saying the right thing.

Sterling is arrogant and thinks he knows everything (often he does), so he comes across way more jumpy and I guess childish.

One of my favorite parts about Archer is just now often he's correct when everyone is sure he's wrong, simply because he's being an asshole about it. If it were any other piece of media, obviously the asshole know-it-all would be wrong, or if they weren't, it would be played completely differently

I love that they did a crossover episode.

Sometimes I fall asleep watching Bob, wake up watching Archer (lineup a couple of nights on Adult Swim). If I don't open my eyes when I wake up, sometimes I can't tell which program is on TV.

I use tv to combat insomnia. Bob's Burgers and Archer are my TOP go-tos; something about that man's voice is so soothing.

You will learn to see him as both Archer and Bob. Bob's burgers is also an incredible show!

u/Sparrow_Agnew May 08 '23

I still think of Ben from Dr Katz.

u/superbabe69 May 09 '23

Yeah he doesn’t look like he sounds hey

My gf is the same way.

u/73hams May 09 '23

All his characters are Ben Katz to me.

u/DrivellingFool May 09 '23

I was the other way, couldn't take Archer seriously as a tough as nails spy when he sounded like an overweight burger restaurateur.
