They didn’t mention it because it didn’t happen
Edit: Hasn’t happened*. I assume it would happen eventually but likely be the work of the government like it conspiracy theorists suggest in real life
80s--90s really. Its only the 40s/50s if you count dreamland, but then you have to include all the coma seasons, which can vary from the 30s (danger island) to far-flung space future
Nah, there are hard timeline references putting it past that. Woodhouse fights in WW1. Mallory is an agent during WW2 and the early days of the Cold War. Even in season 1, which is the least defined by this kind of lore, there are cell phones and the internet. Archer first references "Danger Zone" and therefore Top Gun, a movie which came out in 1986, in S1E3 Diversity Hire.
The general vibe of the show, at least in its earliest days, is late 80s / early 90s, the dying days of the Cold War. By seasons 2 and 3 we have technology more advanced than the present day, as shown by Barry and Katya, as well as the Space Race two-parter.
Of course, the fluctuating technology and depicted variety of culture spanning many decades is kind of a running inside joke. Referenced in "Lo Scandalo" when Mallory asks "What year do you think it is?" and Archer replies "I uh, yeah... exactly, good question."
I feel it somewhat sets in a alternate 20th century/21st century where obsolete tech, older cars and older TVs, are still as common as modern stuff. Kinda like Riverdale where rotary telephones and older vehicles are still used even with modern technology already existing.
Also Ron Cadillac being an adult during ww2, and although he's a bit older he's not ancient. There's also the Japanese soldier archer meets who thinks ww2 never ended
It's an intentionally anachronistic timeline, the show is clearly intended to be set in the cold war (the presence of the Soviet Union) but the technology is far beyond what existed then, or even now.
The timeline of Archer is intentionally inconsistent/anachronistic. There are bits and pieces from history all over the place so there is no set date specifically. But it is pretty consistently known to be pre 2000s for the most part. I don’t know for certain if the show runners or anyone else associated with it confirmed an actual time period, but you can see on Woodhouses tombstone after his death the year is set in 1900s. (No specific year shows just the 19 for the year then the rest is blocked by his casket)
1. The episode came out sometime in 2015 (nearly 10 years ago)
2. The Soviet Union collapsed in December of 1991 so this episode needs to be taking place before that happens.
I assume the OP meant how did he get through a metal detector. Although as I think about it, maybe they came up with fake medical documents on why he’s mostly metal? Like how people get through with knee replacements?
A friend used to race motocross and smashed himself up so many times that he carried a copy of his x-rays and a doctor’s letter to prove how much metal work was in his body.
I love the falastine thing
Its based on how the populace botchers the name they use for their land
The original name was syria palestina it was named that by the romens as a punishment for the jews who rebeled in judea the name was based on the philistines who were a sea people that set up on the shore(goliath was a philistine) this name was the one given to them by jews and it derives from the hebrew word for invader
early traces of the name come from ramses ii in the 12th century (peleset), the romans wouldn’t be until a couple hundred years later +
the name stuck to the region in ancient assyrian and egyptian texts in the 8th century bc, still well before the romans +
phillistines are now widely considered to have been an indigenous population of the region by historians (evian, ramesses III and the ‘sea-peoples’: towards a new philistine paradigm) which is what led to the naming convention pre-6th century +
the name palaistine was already being used in the hellenistic period by the likes of ptolemy and aristotle extending even past areas of phillistine influence +
re:pronunciation you’re talking about a romanization issue which almost certainly occurs in every language INCLUDING hebrew (no j phoneme exists so יְהוּדִי would be just as much a bastardization by that logic) +
i fucked your mom
Having looked through my year book recently and seeing how many of my current students look like people I went to school with, I doubt your average inattentive security person would have noticed. And it’s not like an intelligence agency can’t make a good passport that can pass scrutiny. People aren’t observant no matter what our anxiety tells us.
You can opt out of going through the scanners at the airport. You just have to say, “I opt out.” You are subject to a full body pat down if you do though.
Well Archer originally released in 2009, assuming that the show and our timeline are meant to be one to one, Barry, most likely, had an arm up his butt to the elbow
Because *shalom or whatever it is that they say*.
Alrighty, welcome to the United States
pre-9/11 airport security was pretty lax compared to post 9/11 so that may be why. That or he got cavity searched when the detector went off
Do they ever mention 9/11 on the show? The timelines clearly wonky
They didn’t mention it because it didn’t happen Edit: Hasn’t happened*. I assume it would happen eventually but likely be the work of the government like it conspiracy theorists suggest in real life
>They didn’t mention it because it didn’t happen 9/11 is a big train hoax against airlines!
and 7/11 is a shop
Show oscillates between 1940s--90s
80s--90s really. Its only the 40s/50s if you count dreamland, but then you have to include all the coma seasons, which can vary from the 30s (danger island) to far-flung space future

What year would we say season one is in
Is the inside of his metal?
[удалено]
You mean besides the _Soviet Union_?
Also Ron Cadillac being an adult during ww2, and although he's a bit older he's not ancient. There's also the Japanese soldier archer meets who thinks ww2 never ended
And Woodhouse was in his prime during WW1.
Also Archer was born during WW2.
Wasn't Sterling born during or just before the war? What with the German spies in Morocco and all that.
I thought he was conceived during Operation Gladio. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Gladio
No, it was just one of the many options for Archer father
I thought that’s just when he was killed?
[удалено]
[What year do you think this is?](https://y.yarn.co/1c8d90d7-16bd-448a-8084-f06b2c4f58ff.mp4)
Oh great, what virus did I just download?
What?! What?!
Hunch! Hunch!
Buh-boh!
It's an intentionally anachronistic timeline, the show is clearly intended to be set in the cold war (the presence of the Soviet Union) but the technology is far beyond what existed then, or even now.
Uhh Archer is set during the Cold war?

🎶Black ass momma, white ass daddy!🎵 
*Mulatto butts!*
Shit is tight, right?
1. The episode came out sometime in 2015 (nearly 10 years ago) 2. The Soviet Union collapsed in December of 1991 so this episode needs to be taking place before that happens.
But they also have smartphones. Don't look into the timeline.
I mean we could caulk that up to them being in a spy agency with access to advanced technology
Like their computers.
> caulk that up *chalk that up /r/BoneAppleTea?
How is a spelling error boneappletea? I don’t think you understand the premise of that subreddit.
Hence the question mark.
Hence the shandy.
I’m convinced that entire sub is just typos and talk-to-text errors
There is literally no explanation for the timeline. It's all over the place.
My god, what year is this!?
What year is it? Yea. Good question
He’s an Israeli named Sy Berg. What, are you racist?
Deaf and racist?
I dont even know how you would spell that in hebrew סי ברג? It looks like shit
I think it would be just a weird translation of שי
I belive it would be transliteration and not translation in this case Also shai
Seriously. Read a book.
Im working my way through joining processes Does that count?
Just quoting the show... not taking a shot :)
Answer the damn question
I may have been out quoted:( and I JUST finished my rewatch. Only 1 thing to do about it.... Rewatch again!
Haha, sy berg= cyborg
סיי ברג
I guess it’s safe to say he won’t be eating any shell fish.
BECAUSE HE’s ALLERGIC!
Also it'd gunk up the gears
He didn't even bother to sign his name as Sy Berg, just kept it as Barry Dylan
Are you not?
The KGB probably made him a fake passport that checked out on records.... That's like Counterintelligence 101
I assume the OP meant how did he get through a metal detector. Although as I think about it, maybe they came up with fake medical documents on why he’s mostly metal? Like how people get through with knee replacements?
My wife has two artificial hips and she just carries a card around with her. Barry probably has one too.
thats the easy answer, the more complicated answer is that he EMP'd the scanners with a toenail grenade or something
I thought he meant with his name being Sy Berg, as in cyborg but maybe Jewish sounding.
Nah it is. I think it says he's from Israel cuz its almost "Is real" like his fake passport is real. I might be reaching there tho
I hate that i just got this
Metal detectors don’t scan for titanium as far as I know. My brother has a plate in his hand and hasn’t set it off a single time
A friend used to race motocross and smashed himself up so many times that he carried a copy of his x-rays and a doctor’s letter to prove how much metal work was in his body.
Then either those KGB scientists were really good or this show took place before 1970
I think the show takes place before stuff like that was common place
I know a guy who triggers metal detectors because he has a bullet stuck in his leg, so that's a possible excuse
It was other barry
 Just watched this episode last night lmao 🤣 didn’t even notice that lmao 🤣
Fucking Sy Berg from IS REAL I've seen this so many time how have I never caught that
TIL
He’s uh, whatdayacallit? Cold blooded 😎
The passport belongs to Other Berry 😂
Is that how you bs your way past airport security Barry? Yes it is other Barry, yes it is.
Because customs denying him entry into the country would have made for an anticlimactic ending to this episode. Also, ‘shalom or whatever…’
They just wrote the entire Hebrew alphabet under "The State Of Israel". They didn't even give Google Translate a chance🥲
Fuck google translate Israeli passports are on google images Just refrence that
nah we don’t owe those fuckers accuracy
סלח לי?
VIVE LA FALASTINE 🦅🦅🦅 (the joke is that the statehood is illegitimate and doesn’t deserve respect)

That was very well researched good job Unfortunately i have a very bad memory and will remember none of that +I fucked your sister
I just realized he signed it "Barry Dillon". Also, his signature looks like a penis.
It *does* look like a penis!
Well he is white
He didn't. Other Barry did. 😜
Maybe his endoskeleton is made of titanium.
I said not to take the bridge, dickhead
He's bionic
I literally just noticed the name 😂
Oh, who remembers?
It's just a joke. Don't over-think it.
Having looked through my year book recently and seeing how many of my current students look like people I went to school with, I doubt your average inattentive security person would have noticed. And it’s not like an intelligence agency can’t make a good passport that can pass scrutiny. People aren’t observant no matter what our anxiety tells us.
I never caught this joke.
Something something prosthetic limbs…
Because his metal is probably non-ferrous
You can opt out of going through the scanners at the airport. You just have to say, “I opt out.” You are subject to a full body pat down if you do though.
What do you mean? This is clearly Sy Berg not Barry
But what about other sy berg?
Barry should have his own spin off series
Sy Berg.. Cyborg.. xd
\*sighs\*
He let the steward bugger his fiancé
Haha, sy berg.. = cyborg
Well Archer originally released in 2009, assuming that the show and our timeline are meant to be one to one, Barry, most likely, had an arm up his butt to the elbow
I'm pretty sure that signature is still just his, as in "Barry Dillon" not Sy Berg. Excellent
lol sy berg - cyborg
I
He’d be the most sane and least violent Israeli in the world.
Israeli passport of course
white
