Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaA flashback shows young Lana in the backseat of her parents' car after having thrown up on them; the young Lana was modeled after Aisha Tyler, who voices the character. The animation was based on a photo of Tyler in high school, standing next to her science fair project; in fact, a few diagrams from the real project were added to the animated version.
- GoofsThe Golden Gate Bridge does not connect the East Bay to San Francisco, and therefore Lana and Archer would not have had reason to take it at any time in the episode.
- Quotes
Sterling Archer: [apologising to Lana after long awkward pause] Sorry I tried to spit roast your mom.

Featured review
Firing on all cylinders
Getting right down to it, it might be because there's been something "off" about the sixth season - not that I'm griping, even inferior "Archer" is still the best thing on TV - but 'The Kanes' seemed to really come from out of nowhere and just sort of explode. It's your basic meet-the-parents plot (sort of) with Sterling trying to behave himself in front of Lana's parents, but the humor's pitch-perfect, and the casting is even better. Who'd they get to play Lemuel Kane? Keith David. That guy was born to play this! He's got the scary father-in-law thing sewn up tight. You simply can't beat that casting, and he had me in a fit of laughter the entire time.
To sweeten that deal, the "Bullitt" Mustang shows up for a balls-out car chase (complete with Sterling in a fit after getting shot at: "This is an American icon!") and Pam gets to school some homies on gangsta etiquette. And after all is said and done, Christian Slater's the one causing all the trouble.
I mean, this thing's a winner; there's no better way to put it.
10/10
