Crackers

Crackers turns up in the world of Archer as one of the show's parade of oddballs, voiced with the same reedy, off-kilter energy Lucky Yates brings to his other roles there. Details of the character are thin on the ground, but the name alone promises something eccentric and slightly unhinged, dropped into the agency's chaos without much ceremony.

Lucky Yates has a gift for voicing characters who sound perpetually one step behind their own sentences, and that comic rhythm is what makes even a small, sketchily defined figure like Crackers worth an ear. The pleasure here is vocal texture over plot: a strange voice doing strange things inside Archer's fast, dense joke machine.
