"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

God, I love ARCHER. I'm so curious what percentage of the audience got the Rabbit Klein joke.

For those of us who actually don't watch the Super Bowl, does anyone have any idea what time to tune in to catch the new episode of Glee that will be playing after the game? How long do those things usually last?

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Later than it's scheduled, most likely. Unless, like me, you're in the west. For once, Pacific Time plays in my favor.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

God, I love ARCHER. I'm so curious what percentage of the audience got the Rabbit Klein joke.

I did; Emmett didn't. But then I explained it.

You know how on Seinfeld Elaine complained that everything Jerry knows about high culture he got from Bugs Bunny cartoons?

Smartass animated comedies are how I've educated Emmett.

I'm not surprised at all. I think I may have seen every Robert Klein HBO special ever - I've always kept an eye out for them. I KNOW I saw the very first one completely by accident. I love his shit.

Somebody REALLY needs to do an "I can't stop my leg" compilation.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Was there more to it than a pun on the name "Robert Klein"?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

No, I think that's it.

I thought the whole joke was based on the fact that the rabbit's leg kept moving.

Didn't see Archer, but is it a reference to this? [link]

Okay, yep, that's even funnier and more obscure.
