So much for taking a break...

Another existential crisis in Archive-land? Get your head out of your ass, Benny boy! NOTE: If viewing this episode on a Pioneer VP-1000 unit (Serial #'s: 12467-21804), please turn your frame display function to the ON position.

We've only just begun...to hurt.

Is there really such a thing as too much LaserKaraoke? Let's find out with this special double (if not triple) length episode!

For all the time we've spent with this format, a full look at it (and its offshoots) seemed only natural.

WARNING: This episode is coated in a new, ultra high-tech substance that may cause colorful sparks to emit from your computer. Also, <<

The most headache-inducing Archive episode to date. Guaranteed.

This year's (apparently now requisite) Halloween album review. This was actually meant to be just a minisode, but it ran really long. Consider it a "bonus" Archive episode.

Test-driving a new, potential recurring concept, "Archive Wares". The idea is to look at items from the golden age of infomercials ('80's through early 2000's) and their ads and/or tutorial videos. Given that it's Halloween, it seemed only natural to discuss the most nightmare-inducting product sold via infomercials: the "Rejuvenique Facial Toning System".

Well, that only took a year-and-a-half to follow through with another Local TV installment. No, this wasn't painful at all.

Ben reviews the Archive (and then the world imploded).

And welcome to the Oddity Archive, the show that isn't afraid to piss off VHS fetishists.

This episode is dedicated to----you, Amber.

After being asked all year about what Ben thinks the next generation of oddities will be, a New Year's special seemed to be in order (somehow).

You asked, we gave. $683.43 will now be added to your next phone bill.

Ladies' man that Ben and Ed are, they didn't really need this. This is really for all the lonely folks (especially the guys) that watch the Archive.

Maybe all those DuMont jokes in all the 50's-centric Archive episodes will make sense now. Maybe.

Q: y u no duvide gams? A: Because I'm not that kind of girl--er, wait. Did you mean "Video Games"? I guess...

Because, you know, VIDEOcassette board games went so well...

How many times do I have to tell you, China Cabinet? The money is NOT in the fishtank!

Every now and then we get to thinkin' you'd like to hear somethin' from us done nice and easy. Well, lemme tell ya, we don't do NOTHIN' "nice and easy"...

An (unintentional) almost-three years in the making...

It's a computer! It's a home video unit! It's a video game console! It's...a little underdeveloped.

boxes Boxes. BOXES!!!

The Archive has been deemed obsolete. Irony noted.
