One of the best (if not the best) animated comedies on television is FX's Archer, a cleverly-written series about the airheaded-yet-somehow-suave spy Sterling Archer (H. Jon Benjamin). The show is returning for its fourth season on January 17, less than a month away. A new trailer for the season promises higher stakes and deadlier missions, but juxtaposes such promises with clips of Archer hallucinating that Cyril, Ray, and the rest of his team are alligators, or falling, unconscious, shirtless, and with an RPG launcher strapped to his back, from the ceiling, as all of his co-workers watch.
"Just like Fourth of Ju-luau," Pam remarks.
"Yeah," Cheryl chuckles. "If you slid a pig under him."
