Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

WORST QUEBECOIS ACCENT EVER.

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

WORST QUEBECOIS ACCENT EVER.

I doubt they went outside Atlanta for that one.

Quebeckers aren't really rare and mysterious. Atlanta's not an excuse.

Untrue! Exotic and strange. Very few Americans have heard Quebecois. You might as well be doing a Basque accent.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Please, I live in the near-rural South and I've palled around with more than one person from Quebec.

Yeah, maybe they're hard to find in San Francisco (for no reason I can work out), but if I can find them in Detroit and it's not my job, Archer has zero excuse for that crap.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm just going to throw it out there that all regional accents are almost always crap on tv.

I'm going to throw it out there that my point was that that was worse than average, otherwise I wouldn't have mentioned it.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

BBT Question from this weekend's catch up on shows: Is it just me, or has Sheldon gotten a lot more misogynistic this season? Maybe I am misremembering past seasons, but his women are weakminded/illogical/lesser beings comments seem to have really ramped up this year.
