Archer
There have been countless show and serial throughout television history that center around the premise of undercover , particular agent but none of them have had quite the same comedic essence as the animated , dark - comedyArcher .
While Sterling Archer may be the best secret agentive role in the earthly concern , his literal IQ does n’t precisely have the same reputation as his career does . But since the ISIS agency and the team behind the world ’s with child secret agent are known more for their gleefulness than their hole-and-corner - agent - skill , there are bound to be a few broken bulbs in the chandelier . Here ’s a list of every primary character ofArcherranked by intelligence service .
Cheryl/Carol Tunt
If you could n’t predict this one , you ’re as stupid as Carol ( or is it Cheryl ? ) because this fiery red - pass is the clear choice for the least intelligent principal character . do as the secretary to Malory for the majority of the series , Carol / Cheryl was the hot - tempered , unpredictable inheritrix to the Tunt fortune who ’s only real part to encounter was construct thing more hard for the other master characters . Do n’t get us wrong , this is a comedy and Carol / Cheryl is screaming , but nobody said a fictional character had to be sassy to be hilarious .
Pam Poovey
Right behind Carol / Cheryl is the other comedic - relief female of the main ensemble whose job was to make everybody ’s life more difficult . gravely , the only dispute between these two fictional character was that Pam was occasionally have in mind to be used as the muscular tissue ( especially if she was drug up on copious total of cocaine ) and Carol / Cheryl was used as the damoiselle - in - distress or the hook ( or sometimes the money since she was a billionaire ) . Same as Carol / Cheryl , we have no hatred for Pam since the two make for one hell of a comedic - duo - she ’s just not the smartest .
Cyril Figgis
Cyril may be Scripture - chic , but he lands such a low ranking on our list for the same reason that Sterling Archer takes the next spot despite being the great secret agent in the world - they both completely lack a certain character of intelligence . In Figgis ’s case , it ’s his vulgar gumption and inability to analyse situations . When it comes to being in the agency , Figgis pass number better than anybody , but anytime he was squeeze to go out into the field and engage with an actual mission or adversaries , he was nothing more than a colossal shag - up .
Sterling Archer
As we just stated , Cyril got a humbled ranking on our list for having next - to - no instinctive intelligence and analyze everything like a figurer - Sterling Archer , the show ’s main character and anti - hero protagonist , receives the same treatment because he only has instinctive intelligence and lack any ability to learn something if he has to put in more than minimum crusade . There were mess of times throughout the series where the show ’s titular character got himself into problem that he but could ’ve avoided if he had block off and thought the situation through , or try out to use his brain instead of his muscles and guns .
Woodhouse
We ’re trying to be soft with this ranking since Woodhouse could technically be the smartest penis of this entire cast , but because we see so little of him ( and because he ’s constantly being emasculated and put - down by Sterling ) we never really get a chance to see his full potential . Of of course , Woodhouse ’s backstory was explored a few clip in the series and it was revealed that he was a soldier in World War I and II and was there to aid bear Sterling into the world and upraise him from the clip he was a untried male child . He had quite an adventuresome life and most likely could ’ve rank higher on this lean - if only we ’d gotten to know him a fiddling bit more . R.I.P Woodhouse .
Ray Gillete
While everybody else in the ISIS agency seems to have a laid function and job title of respect , Ray is the only person who really seems to do it all . He occasionally goes out into the study and help Archer and Lana on missions ; he ’ll stick around in the billet and do all the analytical computer poppycock with Figgis , and he ’s been known to have a breakdown or two and have no job partying it up with Pam and Carol / Cheryl . He was ISIS ' multi - tool , always prepared and quick to do anything no matter what the problem was , which is why he gets the middle - ranking on our list .
Barry Dillon
To be fair , Barry probably would n’t have stimulate such a eminent ranking if he were n’t a human - bionic man , but that ’s rumour since that ’s exactly what he is - a human bionic woman . The former ISIS factor turned evil - Robocop has made numerous appearances throughout the show as one of Sterling Archer ’s primary antagonists after Sterling drop Barry from multiple rooftops during charge . The should - be - dead agentive role ended up fall back and has made Archer ’s lifespan hell ever since , but Archer has gotten the better of the cyborg on more than one occasion which is why Barry slips out of the top 3 .
Mallory Archer
She may be a bitter , sometime beldame , but you ca n’t deny that Malory Archer has quite a brain rattling around her noggin . The woman who lend the world ’s great secret federal agent into the world may also be one of the most inattentive mothers in pretended history , but that does n’t stop her from doing absolutely everything within her business leader to get the results that she need . She was the chief operating officer of the ISIS Agency during the show first several seasons and you do n’t get to be CEO of a caller without being at least a little intelligent .
Lana Kane
Sterling Archer might be the world ’s greatest secret agent , but Lana made sure to let him know that she was never far behind him . Lana was the whole package - where Sterling lacked analytical intelligence , she more than excel as her parents ( a biochemist and a professor at UC Berkeley ) blackmail her to deliver the goods from a very vernal age . But after decide not to go for a PhD and become a mysterious agent or else , Lana made it clear that her intelligence was still one of her full traits . The show may claim that Sterling is the creation ’s groovy secret agent , but we all know who really possess that title .
Dr. Krieger
He may not be an actual doctor ( the medical kind or the other kind ) but that does n’t bar the mad - scientist , Dr. Krieger , from taking the top smear on our list . Krieger has proven time and time again throughout the serial that he ’s adequate to of succeeding at experimentation that other scientists would n’t dare try out ( or come up with in their bad nightmares ) . He may not always use the most conventional methods , and he may have inherit his intelligence from his father who was a former Nazi , but Krieger rightfully earns the smirch of the most intelligent master lineament onArcher .
