Archer and Bob’s Burgers fans got a treat in the season 4 premiere of Archer with a glimpse of Linda Belcher and the kids in that dark, messed up world, but thanks to London-based animator Simon Chong, we get both crews meeting up in the Bob’s Burgers side of things.
In “I Had Something For This Burger“, Archer, Lana, Pam, Cheryl, and Mallory stop for a quick bite at the restaurant after Linda enticingly pulls them in (well, shoves while singing). Hilarity definitely ensues.
What drove Chong’s to create this absolutely perfect crossover? He states in the video’s description:
“Bob’s Burgers is hands down my favourite animated show ever made. I just adore it, it’s my happy place and long may it continue…This piece started out as a doodle back in January 2017, and soon spiraled into something where I challenged to myself to imitate the Bob’s Burgers animation style, and using dialogue from both shows, form some sort of short where the characters meet. This has been an absolute passion project, and it’s made to honor both shows in the only way I know how, through my art.”
Not only has this won over fans of both shows, but the creators and actors themselves are blown away. Actress Amber Nash, who voices Archer’s Pam, tweeted this in response to Chong sharing the video with the main stars.
Silly? Its all any of us are talking about at SDCC! https://t.co/FhFE4lvmX8

What do you all think of this crossover? I hope H. John Benjamin can handle double the work if this idea becomes canon.
