Archer
Animated mysterious agent Sterling Archer is going from spy - sweetheart to grillwork - master when FX ’s hit animated comedyArchercrosses over with Fox ’s Emmy - nominated cartoonBob ’s Burgers .
In what is draw as a " Bourne Identity - type plotline , " Archer will start up off throw burgers as the morose Bob Belcher , unaware of his true indistinguishability . FX has yet to unloose the date of when the crosswalk episode ofArcherwill air , but the episode has been film .
The upcoming crossing sequence ofArcherwas the idea of serial creator Adam Reed . ThoughBob ’s creator Loren Bouchard ( who also co - createdHome Moviesand producedDr . Katz ) was cool with the estimation , he stayed out of the creative outgrowth , intrust it to Reed . The sequence will also feature Bob ’s wife Linda ( vocalise by John Roberts ) , but the kids wo n’t be in it , mostly due to budget restriction .
If you ’re a devotee of both of these screaming cartoons , you ’ll acknowledge one big common denominator between the two - the gruff comedic voice talent of H. Jon Benjamin , who vocalize both Bob and Archer . Since the swiggly - line days of Comedy Central’sDr . Katz , Professional Therapist , Benjamin has been an animated staple , lend his hilariously monotoned song to such comical mature cartoon as Adult Swim’sHome Movies(as the loveable Coach McGuirk ) and more of late on Fox’sFamily Guy(as Carl ) .
In a late audience withEntertainment Weekly , Benjamin openly natter about what the big crossover episode ofArcherwill moderate , enunciate :
" [ ' Archer ' Godhead Adam Reed ] really likes ' Bob ’s Burgers , ' and the fourth time of year has a ' Bob ’s Burgers ' tie - in , which is really bizarre . It ’s like a ' bourn Identity'-type plotline . It starts off with Archer as Bob , making burger , but he does n’t know that he ’s Archer . He ’s at the restaurant and these , like , I retrieve Russian thugs occur in , and Bob bump off them like an expert . And then he ’s like , What just go on ? How did I do that ? So he has to attempt to figure out why he ’s so good at killing mass . "
Benjamin also concern upon how the totally different visual animation styles of the two shows will credibly merge and how some fans might react to the two characters selfsame sounding voices :
" [ The episode will be ] ' Archer'-style animation , but with all the accessory and characteristics of the [ ' Bob ’s ' ] characters . It is a little eldritch , because you have to be a fan of both to sympathize it . But you do n’t have to have it off about ' Bob ’s Burgers ' to enjoy it .
" It ’s seems like kind of a 50 - 50 : 50 percent of multitude are like , ‘ You suck , you use the same voice , ’ and 50 percent of people are like , ‘ It ’s amazing how different they are ! ’ And I really ca n’t verbalize to either sentiment . "
Exciting as all this is , cartoons crosswalk are nothing fresh . It was pretty typical back in the belated eighty and 90s and is slowly making a twenty-first 100 comeback . We all remember how the Jetsons met the Flintstones in the epical TV film and we most certainly remember the groundbreaking 1988 filmWho Framed Roger Rabbit- a film that not only aggregate live - action with animation , but is also the only time in animation history in which both Mickey Mouse and Bugs Bunny appeared on sieve together .
Archerseason 4 premieres September 15th @10:30pm on FX .
