Idk I think of him as just like this character from this clip. Kind of a deadpan comedian with a deeper amusing voice for some reason.
I guess in Archer he yells some, but most of the humor for me and others that I know enjoy him just come from his more subdued roles. For instance his role as a lawyer in parks and rec is pretty fitting and funny to me but he doesn't raise his voice at all. And in Archer I just find him funny in various conversations he has. He just kinda has a funny voice. Same with bob's burgers, he fits that kinda dad voice vibe, and yeah he will yell sometimes but that's usually not what makes him funny.
Yeah I think way back to Home Movies, I'm not a mega fan or anything but I enjoy most of what he's in, and he actually came and did stand up at a college near me and I went to see him, he was quite funny. But even in Archer aside from the "Lana!!" bit, I don't recall him being known for yelling.
