Archer/Awesome

"Noah: Oh. My. God! Just screw already!
 * Pam, of all people, in "El Secuestro" for her ability to take torture and then delivering a massive What the Hell, Hero? to the whole of ISIS. Even Lana has no desire to tussle with her.
 * Barry gets one in the Season 2 finale. After being abandoned in Moscow by Archer and left for dead, he's He then delivers his own Roaring Rampage of Revenge on Archer, and crashes   It requires a Heroic Sacrifice , just to save Archer's life. And Barry isn't even remotely hurt, taking a shot by Malory on the back with a shrug.
 * Woodhouse's Roaring Rampage of Revenge in WWI must be seen to be believed. Let there be no doubt of its awesome though.
 * Cyril, of all people, successfully bluffs an enemy with an empty gun, despite the fact that he is outnumbered three to one and Archer is rendered helpless.
 * Basically whenever Archer has to do actual ass kicking, he's badass-incarnate. Like in Swiss Miss, where he kills all of the terrorists chasing him on snowmobiles without much effort, only acquiring a gun halfway through the chase.
 * His maneuver at the beginning of Job Offer is also awesome.
 * So is almost everything he does in Skorpio. So yeah, you get the picture.
 * Noah finally getting fed up with Archer and Lana's endless bickering, during the Pirate Island arc.

Rip Riley: Seriously..."


 * Doctor Krieger performing successful brain surgery while high on acid.
 * Archer quoting a question Ruth asked him before her death and then shooting Franny Delany in the face.
 * EVERYTHING that does in the car chase in "The Man from Jupiter".
 * And really, everything that Burt Reynolds does in universe.
 * Cyril showing that he's not completely incompetent as a field agent in "El Contador." Unfortunately, the awesome is ruined by his utter incompetence as an agent in the next episode, "The Limited."
 * Krieger being able to dispose of a dead body with minimal traces and being able to smell that there is too much salt in a tomato sauce from several meters and doors away in "Lo Scandalo."
 * The real moment of awesome in that episode, belongs to Mallory.
 * of all people, being revealed to be, for a lack of a better term, a sexual beast.
 * "I'm like Chupacabra, but for dicks."
 * At the end of "Space Race Part:1" Guest Star Bryan Cranston says "Danger Zone"
 * And from the same episode we have Archer saving everyone from the Space Mutineers after having sex with Pam.
 * In "Space Race: Part 2", after Archer decides to save the ISIS team rather then go fight  on the space station, Cyril thanks Archer in a badass way, by
 * In season 9, a layered meta-callback occurs in the temple, involving a gag about cannibals and bones.
 * The gag has a complex build up - it is lampshaded by Malory - ("why would those cannibals let us come all this way to find the damn thing if they knew it would kill us?") and set-up by Noah ("I really can't stress how much they hate white people"), which is a callback to earlier references to their racism. The joke leads Noah to conclude that he must re-write his thesis - which is a simple callback to the previous episode, as well as to "Heart of Archness" - as "it's not often you discover a primitive people who understand 'the callback'". The joke  shouts-out itself (meta) and is a way of calling attention to all the layers that have gone into it's formation, making it a Brick Joke as well as a Chekhov's Gag. It also subverts itself as it isn't the cannibals who understand the callback, but rather Noah, and hopefully, the audience.
