…because in lieu of drawing and animating the Archer character in every scene they drew a mother-f**ing RAPTOR. Icing the cake of this sweet entertaining terror is the fact that it comes complete with raptor noises. Watching this episode is like watching a collective of people sharing the same imaginary friend.
I’m embarrassed I just discovered the existence of this episode this weekend. Check out stills below, and strem the episode here.

Appears to work fine for me on this end.
Link works, Video is broken.
No it doesn’t. You’re a turd.
Nah there’s a problem with the video. Whenever it cuts to a shot of Archer, there’s a dinosaur in his place

Pingback: TIL that there is an unaired pilot for Archer that is exactly the exact same as the pilot besides that Archer is a guy sized raptor and only makes dino noises. | Kush Collection
