(5,350 posts)Archer - the titular character is an international super-spy with, of course, clear pastiches of 007 - among many is a ridiculous level of alcohol consumption and disregard for health and well-being.
In what's probably the most classically Bond-esque episode, set in the casinos of Monaco with the drinking and the gambling and the whoring, right before the climactic chase scene he complains that "All I've had today is like, six gummy bears and some Scotch." It's become a bit of a catchphrase and utterly appropriate for today...though I am eating more than just the gummy bears!

(5,350 posts)Also, for my money, utterly hilarious. I'd wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone who enjoys unabashedly puerile humor.
Also, Jessica Walter is goddamned BRILLIANT.
