Everything in this episode is hilarious all the jokes hit and the rampage was a great idea for an episode for the first 10 minutes archer goes on a rampage then he takes his chemo drugs leading him to lose his hair yet he still insists on rampaging which leads to some of the funniest scene in the entire show

Hilarious - and creepy

Yes, this is an animated show, but everything in it is so well constructed - the characters, the weapons, the vehicles - the buildings, that you almost forget that once in a while. This is one of those episodes. Somebody who was involved in writing this ep. Must have experienced this horrific storyline at some point, either that or they did extensive reading about the whole subject. At any rate they managed to combine pathos, horror, over the top violence, sex, (fake) drugs and numerous references to so many other 80's/90's TV shows and movies that you need a scorecard to keep track - and it was all so gloriously presented, as usual.

Brilliant

If this episode didn't come I would have a zero chance to imagine and see for even Archer actually would act kind once in his life time. Every little detail in that episode just like it's others always catching in unpredictable moments. That atmosphere, character's moments and crazy reactions all the time carrying that purely storyline. Yeah... It's obviously this episode is my favorite of this season. I mean, well... Second season has a lot of incredible episodes and crazy storyline but especially this episode... This episode was just like happened in some different parallel universe you know. For me these type of storylines would use and produce much more...

Stupid Bad Guys
Hitchcoc16 December 2015
Archer has male breast cancer and his prognosis is not good. His doctor is incompetent and is in cahoots with a pharmacist. Apparently, placebos have replaced the real, expensive cancer drugs. An old lady dies and Archer gets emotional. He finds the guys responsible and threatens them. When they won't talk he simply kills them. They had their chance, didn't they. The fact that the title character is dying doesn't seem to phase anyone. They just go about their business. Archer is so arrogant that we could care less about him. Revenge is sought but the whole thing seems unsatisfying. It is good to see the human side of this guy for a change.
