Archer is an FXX original animated, half-hour comedy. The new season revolves around the international spy turned hardboiled private eye Sterling Archer and his quest to find his partner’s killer in 1947 Los Angeles.
The case proves to be more difficult than expected after Archer quickly gets mixed up in a deadly game of tug of war between Los Angeles' most powerful crime bosses. Every clue leads Archer further away from his goal and deeper into a mystery involving kidnapping, prostitution and drug addiction.
The series features the voices of H. Jon Benjamin as the incredibly vain private investigator, “Sterling Archer;” Jessica Walter as the veteran crime boss and nightclub owner, “Mother;” Aisha Tyler as the sexy lounge singer and Archer's crush, “Lana Kane;” Judy Greer as the clueless heiress to a vast publishing fortune, “Charlotte Vandertunt;” Chris Parnell as a crooked detective hell-bent on seeing Archer dead or in jail, “Detective Lieutenant Figgis;” Amber Nash as Figgis' partner and occasional muscle, “Detective Sergeant Poovey;” Adam Reed as the saucy band leader, “Ray Gillette;” and Lucky Yates as the club's bartender/heroin dealer/Nazi scientist, “Krieger.”

H. Jon Benjamin is ultimate example of someone's voice face not looking like their face face.

[@khandkerkhadeejah9639]

Omgod yes!!

[@yasmynemcdonald310]

I don't know, he looks like Bob Belcher to me.

[@karendionne2228]

Sterling has H. Jon's sky blue eyes.

[@cheeseonyomama]

That's me lol I can't play online games anymore because people think I'm black and suddenly hurl racism at me lol "Shut up you porch monkey!" "Uhh, dude I'm white." "You wish you were white you trash!" Lol

[@theahenrico6675]

No matter how many times I watch this, H Jon Benjamin’s voice suits Archer way more than it suits him.

[@nicholaspennesi4973]

You should give a chance to the Italian dub! I find that version more appropriate to the character

[@Garythemoney]

I couldn't agree more

[@sergioortiz8219]

Some offense meant?

[@Mangaman162]

Yes lol

[@Batman-tk9jd]

Couldn't agree more😅

[@TrueRetroflection]

"Here's my stand..." *Archerizes everything* "...and we're ready to go!"

[@stankfanger1366]

*If you ran into him on the street and he agreed to do it, how much would you write the check for to get H. Jon Benjamin to record your voicemail message using your name? I'd start my bidding at $300.*

[@nirvanaatashin5900]

but how much could you pay him so it won't be offensive to the dude who possibly made shit loads of money from archer and bobs burger?:D you can't bid low :D

[@cod4roks97]

Eh

[@tacocat9182]

Young Frankenstein id pay him 500 for it

[@alexsmith2885]

Apparently i've been wasting my impression for free

[@jamietaylor8663]

[@arkady714]

Aisha Tyler rocks.

[@chadthundercock1024]

[@frostychickenprods]

D.E. Sarcarean you're welcome

[@willfernau4618]

I love every single person on this show, h john, Aisha, Chris, and judy

[@kingwindie]

This show is in a whole different league, nothing comes close, nothing compares. It's perfect

[@KasualKevin]

I really love this show, the characters are really amazing each with a very distinct personality and just makes me happy to know that there's going to be more episodes (hopefully it never ends!). I also really love the fact that everyone enjoys their job on the show so thanks for all the hard "work" guys, haha!

[@QueenAmour8888]

yess

[@josehuerta3964]

"hopefully it never ends." ALL things must end.. cause that's what they said about the Simpsons... and look at them now!

[@yanethmaldonado9151]

It just signed on for 3 more seasons! We're at least getting 11!

[@nathanielkilburn1249]

Yaneth Maldonado I heard Season 10 will be the last one

[@Thx1138sober]

I really loved the episode where they mixed Archer with Bob's Burgers.

[@jppinkerton772]

Gonna miss this show after the last season. Hilarious characters, crude humor, random dialogue & references. I miss Archers butler Woodhouse (rip George Coe) Thank you for a great ride!! #dangerzone

[@Littleman2k]

JP pinkerton It's been renewed for 3 more seasons my dude. It's gonna be Archer Noire, it starts somewhere in early April I think.

[@jppinkerton772]

@Sunshine Games Oh wow! heard just thru season8 I knew about the 1940s 50s throwback in the storyline. Good to hear!

[@JarrekAsF]

Thank god it is still airing to this day. We really needed something like this with everything going on

[@jqme]

I hope theres a 12th season

[@mr.viewer5616]

That’s show is my mood fixer therapy!

[@thevampirecielphantomhive2342]

The voice of Lanna is gorgeous

[@I_AM_BAYTOR]

Cheryl is my dream woman.

[@dan5609]

Caesura or a cyborg with robotic hands

[@CreeceMarquis]

Dan Hurd Or a firefighter who secretly mascarades as a serial arsonist...

[@jackfruth3738]

You have problems.... but are prob really fun to be around!

[@uhhisthisthingon]

or Johann Schmidt aka the red skull from her nazi kidnap/rap fantasy

[@danielrolon56]

I AM BAYTOR same

[@banxeescreems3337]

R.I.P Jessica Walter 🥺 the show was already on its last dregs but this wouldn’t be the same without Malory.

[@Ken9284]

That’s my fear too

[@jhart1127]

Yet its still really popular.

[@skwisgarskwigelf7191]

Chris Parnell actually looks like a real life Jerry Smith

[@andrewp2681]

Life imitates art

[@bluegizmo1983]

Please don't ever end this show!

[@DavArroyo7242]

By far the best show ever!!!! Ever!!!! Ever!!!!

[@thatoneguy7792]

DavArroyo7242 only if it could last forever

[@nightman6349]

I love aisha tyler

[@marcus7955]

I love this show sooooooooooo much. Hated that Netflix dropped it.

[@aluviper293]

I agree, a bunch of shows are moving off netflix to hulu

[@kev_mo]

Literally the only reason I switched to Hulu

[@okbro3524]

Actually...

[@eabasolo]

This didn’t age well

[@blackjoker234]

Man I wish this show could continue forever 🥺🥺

[@mothmantheaveragecitizen2718]

Pam on coke is my sprit animal lol

[@yesplease5109]

My favorite part about these behind the scenes videos is Chris Parnell's ability to look perpetually uncomfortable

[@tacodog767]

This guys voice is the best, if I was told I have cancer, I'd like the news to come from H. John Benjamin, still sucks, but at least it's not that bad

[@bigkahunaburger1092]

Tacodog 76 i mean Archer got cancer

[@thejuniorseas7683]

*H. Jon Benjamin walks into medical examination room.* Benjamin: I'm not the best with breaking this type of news, so I'll just say it... You have testicular cancer. Me: (momentarily stunned. Eventually starts chuckling.)

[@kevinnelsonukoll3783]

Can tell they're really having fun voicing these characters.

[@audioelitist3677]

All my love for the people that make Archer. I love you guys. You made one of the most enjoyed television programs I've ever watched. Top ten for sure... probably top three. I can't think of enough things at once to determine anything with any accuracy. I'll just say this... I've had a tough run of things in some areas of my life. This show made a huge difference to me. All of you be well.

[@kaizenzx_kzx]

You're welcome.

[@khaalis]

Love how there are too many jokes amd i have to pause and play again to not miss it. The voices overlapping and everyone getting equal importance in every scene. The script, the characters, the dark humour and insult that everyone seems to fling at everyone keeps me coming back for more. Love ARCHER!

[@Goryalight]

I really love his deep voice like in Home movies.

[@spacepopeextremis9746]

Need me some Pam.

[@JavertRA]

I love seeing actors in the booth, especially when they get really into it. I've done amateur radio before and it is so much fun being in a studio

[@jdm1066]

Judy Greer and Aisha Tyler are the only ones that could play their characters in live action.

[@Douglas-1994]

Jessica Walter will forever be missed

[@noneofyourbeeswax7316]

omg thats his real voice i can`t

[@sajeanne8496]

When the show first came out, no one I talked to had heard of it! I was concerned that it would be cancelled so I told EVERYONE how great it was; including strangers next to me in queue. FYI: the ringtones from the show get great reactions from strangers too! Please keep them coming! [Phrasing!!] Loyal from S1 E1 - LITERALLY!! [Because we are doing that again; altho, I never stopped. ^_^ ]

[@cu5864]

Sajeanne Kozlowski Thank you.

[@Just_Some_Guy_with_a_Mustache]

"Kind of like a really drunk James Bond." So...James Bond.

[@ajryan739]

i love H. Jon Benjamin voice so much ... it is so soothing to me .....

[@alexsanchez5445]

I love this show I done watched the entire thing like over a dozen times

[@flatplant]

I know it goes without saying, but they all have perfect voices.

[@ember-brandt]

I didn't actually realize it was Chris Parnell voicing Cyril until after I had already associated Chris with Jerry Smith (from Rick and Morty) - even though I saw Archer first - so I keep hearing Jerry now every time I go back to watching Archer lol

[@tg798]

i just wanna have archer's voice

[@tarfap.kpamber9732]

Certainly one of the more outrageous gatherings of voice acting talent behind animation.

[@dimensions7834]

My absolute favorite animated show.

[@javiermgtaoism5702]

I love them all. Great animated series; have them all on dvd

[@HerrHoppenstedt]

I actually lost track how often i rewatched the entire show during its many seasons. Not quite sure if want to account that to severe headtrauma or the show just bring so good and enjoyable.

[@Chrispbacon94]

His work on Bobs Burgers is also just as good!

[@rawdiesel1]

This could be my favorite show when I look back urs from now.

[@TheJumperYT]

I must have watched through the whole show 20+ times and have all the episodes downloaded on Netflix on my phone lol

[@crazyperson7753]

This is one of my favorite shows ever

[@radar2119]

I really can't stop laughing when I watch Archer, you should ask me about my​favorite character, it doesn't exist. I love them all.!!!! Cheryls favorite birthday is my favorite part to amplify the sound.

[@bigkahunaburger1092]

radar 211 favorite character for me Archer or Cyril

[@billwilson8742]

It’s great seeing the people behind the characters

[@bandhanmondal4685]

Just finished Archer season 12 today and I am broken from inside that the show is over😢

[@ProfessorTayTay]

What if Archer looked like H. Jon Benjamin

[@dr23m]

Professor TayTay What if H. Jon Benjamin looked like Archer? (Sploosh!)

[@TheMaxFusionGaming]

There’s actually a video somewhere of archer getting in some sort of accident and they reconstruct his face in surgery to look like an animated version of Jon.

[@ryanmugits5356]

He'd be Bob Belcher

[@anubus6]

This makes me miss the show even more.

[@joedurt2220]

So in love with h jon Benjamin.

[@Sboofie]

favorite show for years

[@moneo007]

Kriger and Carol are the craziest...

[@mtathos_]

I would kill for archers voice

[@jasonmartell4022]

Archer is the best show ever👍every character couldn’t be played by anyone else.

[@ViraL_FootprinT.ex.e]

"the lower tier" 🤣🤣🤣💀💀💀

[@donguapo7862]

Best voice acting, definitely my #1 show

[@Lcarter52]

H. Jon Benjamin’s voice MUST be protected at all costs!

[@hankhill2889]

“Like a really drunk James Bond.” Yeah, that’s correct

[@marcw6875]

Aw, I wanted to see Judy Greer screaming, "You're not my supervisor!"

[@bbb6079]

I really thought that Lana was going to choose Ray to be the father of her baby

[@erinmiller1433]

Robert Bueno Can you say best dancer EVAHHH?

[@cabooseisthevehicledestroy]

Ray is gay

[@Xalerdane]

@@cabooseisthevehicledestroy And Lana conceived her baby via artificial insemination, what’s your point?

[@billiondollardan]

Aisha Tyler is so amazing

[@Foersom_]

0:29 Archer is like a cartoon version of OSS117 with Jean Dujardin.

[@mlcg1500]

This made me Miss Mallory Archer even more. RIP Queen

[@dumbgenious1960]

Cheryl is so underrated. Besides archer/Lana/mallory she’s the most interesting.

[@gudea5207]

It sounded like,when he said his name, that had to stop and think about himself not being archer.

[@nuttyneithan]

"Suppressing fire🔥🔥🔥!"

[@example2844]

Bro, Cyril looks so much like his voice actor!

[@sayresrudy2644]

we love this show. pure genius.

[@joebaxter6895]

IS ANYONE ELSE PISSED they are ending after 10 seasons??? Like WTF I know its better than your average animated show but look at Family guy and the Simpsons and South Park! They could totally milk it! ugh

[@shrooms7683]

You obviously haven't done animation or show-running before.

[@a-bloke-named-chris9805]

Victor Morales better to end a good show before it is shitty

[@ivancorredera4241]

Victor Morales personally, I think 10 seasons would be enough. Look, I love Archer, but sometimes when a company milks their own property, it becomes old and stale after a long while. The Simpsons were great, but now the episodes have become kinda meh, and I think Family Guy aged about as well as milk. At least when Futurama ended, it ended with a satisfying conclusion. We can at least relish in the thought that Archer will hopefully end strong, and not live on until it eventually turns sour.

[@joebaxter6895]

Meh, I guess your right, I think its just that I came to the show so late, I binged watch all the seasons in 2 weeks, loved it, and then I find out its ending. Kind of sucked.

[@Flyinghotpocket]

it already is. thats why its getting canceled

[@tonyf5869]

“A really drunk James Bond.” So James Bond then.

[@michaelp9356]

I NEED TO WATCH THE SEASONS I MISSED BUT I AM A POOR. damn I love this show.

[@jasonmartell4022]

Michael P it’s on Netflix

[@diegoromero7930]

Now I understand the joke about Lana’s hands. They are so big!

[@clairbender]

aisha tyler is soooo beautiful omg

[@jonas3333]

If I was walking along & H. Jon Benjamin came by & started talking, I'd instantly just do whatever he told me out of high respect of that voice. He could literally command me to steal a bunch of money out of a truck & I'd do what Archer told me to. :)

[@richardjones4259]

Archer Rocks!

[@littlesister2609]

I did not expect H. Jon Benjamin to look like how he does based on his voice. Like I thought he would literally look like archer

[@bigkahunaburger1092]

Such a great show gotta finish the show

[@musicalpriss1364]

Cyril's voice actor was saying how he was the "main guy" and stuff and I'm just sitting over here like "FUCK CYRIL" 😂🤷🏻‍♀️

[@Marc.Acidica]

Oh man I love Cheryl.

[@randypullman1155]

How is it i can't find a box set of all 11 seasons of this epic work of art?

[@mperry94]

It's interesting to put faces to the characters and watch them work

[@genesisknight9948]

Because of Rick and Morty, everytime my dad and I see Chris Parnell on tv, one of us always whispers "loooooosssserrrrrr" 🤣

[@simonanderberg6479]

2:29 "you can just say new york"

[@cloudri]

I love Archer and I love you guys

[@wilfrednkhwazi2617]

I wish I would see Jessica Walters in the recording studio too, but I didn't find any clips on KZbin.

[@otakuprince]

H.Jon Benjamin is literally just Bob beltcher

[@sweitzer1755]

This is my favorite tv show 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@everready19373]

What a way to make a living. Yes, I am jealous!

[@InfinitumPueri]

am i not the only one whos watched archer so much that when i hear their voices i see the characters, and its weird seeing the real actors faces when they speak o.O

[@itallya1219]

I frekin LOVE this show!!!!

[@jhutsebaut]

Best animated series ever!

[@subaduck]

How excellent was this? Trick question! It was in the DANGER ZONE.

[@imhappyandyou.4003]

H. Jon Benjamin is the only voice actor that I know of that has gotten paid to do the exact same voice in every show he's been in lol.

[@87pony]

Best show on tv

[@CharlesLipenga]

Seriously His voice fits Archer more than his own face

[@nunufyurbiznis7671]

My goodness…Lana really does have big hands in real life

[@aaronphx420]

I love these videos, I wish there were more.....
