Before that , they were engage into the CIA as contractor . Before that , they try their hands at deal some … outlaw materials . But before any of those misadventures , they worked as the Independent Secret Intelligence Service whose acronym served as a reference to an Egyptian goddess . But now … that name carries a very different connotation . It ’s loose to see why the writers were eager to leave it behind .
What Is This? A Crossover Episode?
To put it just , yes . Yes it is . Archer and Bob fromBob ’s Burgersare bothvoiced by H. Jon Benjamin , something Archer has some fun with in the time of year 4 premiere , " psychogenic fugue and Riffs . " In the episode , Archer has lost his computer storage and ends up living Bob Belcher ’s life in one of the most inspired crossing over jokes ever shown on television .

They Done Killed Old Rando
For all his many skill , fare up with aliases is not an arena where Archer surpass . His fake identity is always some variation on a mustached man named Randy or at the height of his creativity : Rando . As you would carry , these disguises often do n’t work out so well for the self - described high-pitched function souse .
One noted juncture come about in time of year 5 , episode 9 " On the Carpet " where Archer nourish some expectant price while trying to take back home with a plane full of weapon system and drug , which motivate the line , " They done killed Old Rando . "
Are We Not Doing Phrasing Anymore?
One of the show’smost iconic running jape is the role of " choice of words . " The stock is deployed to admonish any phallus of the cast careless enough to practice words that could be construe as dirty . fundamentally , it ’s a harsher " that ’s what she say " and the characters uses it to hilarious gist .
The laugh , however , come out of party favour with the rest of the crowd leading to Archer ’s mental confusion when it is n’t hollo out and his repeated effort to impart it back into the office lexicon .
SUPPRESSING FIRE
Despite being ( sort of ) develop and often forced into the plain , Chris Parnell ’s Cyril Figgis is not much of a secret broker . This is particularly rightful when it derive to opportunities for marksmanship .
If Cyril is put into any fighting situation , his one and only move is firing off his arm haphazardly and loudly announce his suppressing intentions . As you’re able to imagine , this seldom serves a aim and often puts the mob into even more dire straits before Lana and/or Archer come up with a room to save the day .
It’s Just Like That Old Gypsy Woman Said!
One of the show ’s mostcolorful charactersis Mallory ’s glue - sniffing assistant , Cheryl ( aka Carol aka Cristal aka Cherlene ) Tunt , an unhinged railway inheritrix who often makes prophetic visits to an sure-enough gypsy woman . Cheryl has a habit of loudly announce when the Old Gypsy Woman ’s predictions fall true .
The predictions range from Cheryl pop off in a toilet ( foretelling some Krieger induced food poisoning ) to some genuine life - saving advice for Archer and his Padre - in - law Ron . In general , the rest of the character ’s chemical reaction are fairly mixed , including everything from ambivalence to distressed curiosity in what the Gypsy Woman might predict next .
Mawp. Mawp.
Despite the bizarro world that Archer takes place in , one that contains both the KGB and smartphones , one of their most naturalistic gags involve the effect gunfire has on eardrums .
Archer himself has been in so many skinny - quarters gunfights that he now suffers from tinnitus ( a persistent ringing in one ’s ears ) and has to take special care to re - balance his earreach after one the show ’s many tympanic membrane bursting explosions . As such , he ’s quick to warn anyone who is less than sensitive to his consequence such as the furry supporter on display here .
M as in Mancy. What Did You Think I Said?
As is the case in many other aspects of his job , Archer ’s reason of the NATO phonic alphabet is moderately uninventive . This get a fussy problem when he has to read the serial number of a bomb over a crackly receiving set to save an dirigible .
thing go about as well as you ’d gestate . After stumble over the use of OK as an optimistic rather than a recitation for Oscar Kilo , Archer manages to escalate the situation by using the easily misunderstood " Mancy " as the replacement for M leading to the inadvertent bombardment of Wales .
That’s Right, Other Barry
Barry shifts allegiances throughout the series , but even when the rogue spy is working for someone other than himself , he be given to work alone . This leads Barry to spend a capital deal of sentence talk to himself in the anatomy of Other Barry , which usually goes something like , " Is n’t that correct , Barry ? " " Yes it is , Other Barry . Yes it is . "
That metre alone is typically spent trying to kill Archer even as his automatic body deteriorates . Barry ’s latest appearance was as the psychotic mechanical man , Barry-6 , in the coma - ambition - world of season 10 akaArcher : 1999 .
