I hope Archer gets a new tattoo.
Wesley: Perhaps the whole point of this experiment is hair. Gunn: I vote he's not in charge.

I agree, Hec, the last few New Girls have been very funny.

I was a little distracted watching Archer because JZ took a class with the guy how is the Number One Hollywood Voiceover Person For Animal Noises, and he taught her how to properly do a dog panting. And it was exactly the way Kazak was doing it.
(Side note: Laraine Newman is the Number One Hollywood Voiceover Person for doing baby cries. That's her gig.)

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Not the Number One guy (I'm pretty sure that is Dee Bradley Baker), but definitely a very good one -- he grew up in a small town in Iowa (or possibly another one of the vowel states) and used to entertain himself on his way home from school by picking a field or backyard that had animals wandering around within earshot, and then practicing their sounds until he hit the one that made everyone on the other side of the fence stop grazing or pecking, lift their heads and look around to see who was missing. And his greatest moment of triumph came the day he did a lost, hungry calf so well that a whole field of usually placid dairy cows looked up anxiously at once.
He was also really good at ineffectual grownups (he claimed that he and his wife could afford a kid and a house pretty much solely on the basis of his ability to yell, "Hey, you kids, you keep out of there!" and then sound like he'd just fallen in a hole or walked into a closed door or taken a frying pan to the head), and had a technique he called The Oscar Winning Drippy Nose.
But his panting dog was genius, it's true.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Creepy how?

It turned out, the whole episode took place in Ted's head as he sat in the bar alone and friendless. And it included several possible shorter- and longer-term future scenarios, all of which turned out to be imaginary.
