Round One of March Madness: Archer Quotes Edition

By a whooping three votes to one the quote "Obviously the core concept" by Sterling Archer beat out "So don't be surprised if you find yourself eating a whole bunch of spiderwebs" by Archer in the play-in game. This landslide victory makes sense considering the 'core concept' quote probably shouldn't have even been in the play-in game as evidenced by the fact that I have made the quote a 3 seed.

You can view the full bracket below (click to enlarge)



Sterling Archer by far and away leads this list with one liner quotes considering (A) he's the star of the show and (B) most of the funny stuff said by the other cast members are either not one liners or set ups to Archer's one liners.

Here's a breakdown of quotes by character and episode

CHARACTERS
- Sterling Archer: (12)
- Malory Archer: (1)
- Pam: (1)
- Nikolai Jackov: (1)
- Ray Gillette: (1)

EPISODES
- Skytantic (4)
- Pilot (4)
- Swiss Miss (2)
- Diversity Hire (1)
- Dial M For Mother (1)
- The Double Deuce (1)
- A Going Concern (1)
- Multiple Episodes (2) ("Danger Zone" and "Sploosh" appear in more than one episode)

It should be no shock that Skytanic and the pilot have the most quotes because they have been the two funniest episodes of the series

AND NOW, TIME TO VOTE!
Please cast two votes per each four question poll so you should have voted on eight total quotes. Please only vote for one 1/4 seed quote and one 2/3 seed quote.

ISIS Division
