A real television star doesn’t let his show’s season premiere pass without a little flash and extra effort in the promotional department. Take H. Jon Benjamin, the star voice of FX’s animated hit Archer, as he live-Tweeted the first episode of Season 6 for his 134K fans and spambots. However, he didn’t just give us the typical live-Tweet session, sharing his thoughts on Sterling Archer’s adventure in the jungle with a Japanese WWII soldier who never got the message that the war was over, nor did he offer his critique of the new headquarters of the espionage agency formally known as you know.
Instead, he welcomed a very special guest and fellow Archer character voice into his home for a special evening between two celebrity men. Things got… weird.

Yup, everyone else can delete their Twitter accounts. You’re never topping this.
Didn’t think he could top the Slater reveal until he put on Young Guns 3. Oh man, Classic Rando.
The Gleaming the Cube reference was perfect.
You give me Christian Slater and hilarious references to his 80s movies and I’m in love.
Those really made me laugh. Now I think I’m going to put Pump Up the Volume on in the background.
really missed a perfect opportunity for a Kuffs reference.
And it’s probably the only perfect opportunity for anyone to ever reference Kuffs in existence.
Slater broke H. Jon’s babbon heart.
Gleaming the Cube or A Brother’s Justice (TV title) is the greatest movie about a skateboarder avenging his stepbrother’s murder.
Also, Over the Top is the greatest film about trucking, a deadbeat dad, and arm wrestling.
Reminds me of when Conan used to do these with Max and Joel and they were always incredible.
Holy SHIT! I’m pissed at myself for forgetting about those skits. Thanks for the reminder. Those were amazing.
Guys, I think some of this was staged.
I fucking love Benjamin and Slater.
What?! NO! I can never trust again!
I read every one of those tweets with H Jon Benjamin’s voice in my head.
I’m guessing H. Jon’s butler was taking these photos for him.
George Coe, obviously.
Anyone there at Warming Glow considering talking about the actual new episode/season now that it’s started? (Giving impressions of it, expressing your opinions, that sort of thing.) Or is it all just gonna be stories about the Golden Globes and stuff you didn’t know about TV shows from 20 years ago?
A handful of gifs doesn’t count.
I am an idiot and didn’t watch the Archer premiere last night, but my God i need to now after looking at this work of art. H. Jon Benjamin once again is the best.
OP: I’m very glad you posted this; something not to be missed… but as a point of constructive criticism:
“Instead, he welcomed a very special guest and fellow Archer character voice into his home for a special evening between two celebrity MEN.” [capitalization mine]
it would have been way funnier if you didn’t go ahead and reveal the guest was a man BEFORE we even read the tweet timeline. you took the comedy out of the whole point of him making these romantic preparations for his guest.
still funny, just not as funny as it should have been.
I was lucky in that I went straight to the tweets.
Shit, me too.
Bravo!!!
“Live” tweets are some much better when you have a stage with professional lighting.
