History ShoutOut / Archer

* [[FerrisBuellersDayOff Ferris Bueller, you're my hero!]]

* Cheryl's ocelot is named "[[SalvadorDali Babou]]."

* Wodehouse's RoaringRampageofRevenge and the taking of scalps is likely a reference to ''Film/LegendsOfTheFall''.

* Benoist, the Matre D' Hotel from the Grand Prix episode may be a shoutout to Robert Benoist, Grand Prix driver and, interestingly enough, wartime spy.

* Lana's car during the Grand Prix is [[TheLoveBug white with a red and blue stripe and the number 53]].

* Barry [[spoiler: exposes his cyborg innards]] at the end of Season 2 in the exact same manner Quinn did in the first pilot of ''{{Sealab 2021}}''.
* In Heart of Archness part 3, Noah charges Bucky with a sharpened spoon, but instead stabs Rip Riley. He yells "SPOOOOON!" while doing so, which is the battle cry of ''Series/TheTick'', played in live action by Patrick Warburton, voice of Rip Riley.
* In ''Pipeline Fever'', the airboat rental guy yells at "Ann", his watchdog, who appears to be asleep. When [[spoiler:he realizes that the dog is ''dead'']], the view cuts to a tombstone with the name "Old Dan" carved on it, and a red-leafed fern growing beside it. Old Dan and Little Ann were the protagonist's dogs in ''WhereTheRedFernGrows''.
* Reggie's death in ''The Double Deuce'' is a reference to a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_on_a_match_(superstition) superstition]] supposedly held by WWI soldiers (which turned out to have arisen after the war's end) that states that you should never light a cigarette three times with the same match (though Woodhouse used several) since each lighting allows an enemy sniper to spot you, take aim and fire respectively, which is what happened to Reggie.

* Uta is a German girl with red hair and father issues, like Lola in ''Film/RunLolaRun''. She even has a boyfriend named Manni. Her relationship with a much older assassin is a riff on ''TheProfessional''.

* The visual nod to actor David Rees Snell, whenever Archer is shown with a mustache. Not to mention, the fact that Woodhouse's unrequited love was named Reggie, which is a variation of REG (the initials of Snell's character on ''The Shield'').

* [[{{The Six Million Dollar Man}} Bionic]] Barry!
* Archer's rampage in "Placebo Effect" is, in his own classic style, a ([[InvokedTrope deliberate]]) ShoutOut to pretty much every RoaringRampageOfRevenge plot in the kind of media Sterling would partake in. For just a few examples, the grenade up the ass is quite similar to scene in ''[[Film/ManOnFire Man On Fire]]'', and "Did you see Regis this morning?" is a play on a famous ending from ''MagnumPI''.

* "This agency is not your personal bank account for you to jet off to [[AnchormanTheLegendOfRonBurgundy Whore Island]]!"

* While on the space station, Barry clinks beer bottles together while chanting, "Archer, come out to plaaay!" This is a reference to Luther doing the same thing in the climax of ''Film/TheWarriors''.

* The ending of "Skin Game" with Barry and Katya on a bus is a shot for shot of the ending of TheGraduate.

* The "Sky Captain of Yeasteryear" outfit/setting/airplane from Heart of Archness references ''TalesoftheGoldMonkey''.

* Cheryl's family, the Tunts, are an expy of the Vanderbilt family, from their railroad fortune down to there being multiple "Corneli-i", to the "Tuntmore" (Biltmore) House and a matriarch who is nostalgic for the days of slavery.

* The "Sky Captain of Yeasteryear" outfit/setting/airplane from season 3 references ''TalesoftheGoldMonkey''.

* Sterling's codename, Duchess, is also the FanNickname for Captain Archer of ''StarTrekEnterprise''.

* Pam smashes the intercom mid-sentence, and mutters [[StarWars "Boring conversation anyway."]]* Lana: "[[Franchise/StarWars I find your lack of faith disturbing.]]" Interestingly, she says that line while performing that looks like [[Franchise/StarTrek the Vulcan Neck Pinch]].
