![]() Pam: Yeah? Anybody? Anybody want a piece of this? Pam: Yeah? Well let’s see how much you wiggle when I’m whippin’ five thousand bucks of your ass! Mallory: Well, maybe I low-balled him at first but I had some wiggle room! Pam: YOU shut up! Mr ‘Pam’s not worth it’! Then you stupid a-holes shoot a jillion stupid a-hole bullets at me. Pam: Do you people even give a shit? Cheryl’s dumb ass gets me kidnapped and the shit kicked out of me all day and nobody even tries to rescue me?! He steps back and raises his hands in surrender, but Pam has finally had enough. All of the kidnappers die except for the one holding on to Pam. Kidnapper: Drop your weapons or she dies! Instead once they break into the building, the kidnappers decide to use Pam as a hostage/human shield. ![]() I mean, unless you wanna chop off my fingertips and slice out my retinas. Then good luck getting past all the biometric scanners. Kidnapper: Hey, thanks for getting us inside, Pam. Once they break into the ISIS underground car park they make like they’re going to shoot her again, but Pam keeps her cool. Yeah, Pam kicked arse at underground fighting to pay her way through higher education.Īnyway, when Mallory tells the kidnappers that she’ll only give them $5000 for their hostage they decide they should probably kill Pam, until she convinces them that she’s the only person who can help them kidnap Cheryl. Pam: Two-sixty, two-eighty, and Jackson makes three. Kidnapper 1: First of all, how are you still even conscious? Pam: Seriously, maybe see if your daddy will give you a roll of nickels. Pam: That’s what I’ve been trying to tell ya, between this little gal’s love taps. Kidnapper 1: You idiot! This isn’t Cheryl Tunt! ![]() Pam, to her credit, copes with being kidnapped fairly well. Cheryl is then forced to reveal to her co-workers that she is in fact an heiress, and hires ISIS to protect her and recue Pam. They’re trying to kidnap Cheryl but grab Pam by mistake. It begins with Pam and Cheryl walking to work and being attacked by a bunch of guys in balaclavas. The episode that I see as being Pam’s real turning point, in the eyes of both her co-workers and the audience, is season two episode ten – El Secuestro. In Skytanic, Cheryl tricks Pam into sneaking aboard the airship and at first she’s angry about it, but her attitude toward these things completely changes by the end of the season. The episode Skytanic begins the long-running trope of Pam and Cheryl turning up unexpectedly on away missions over the run of the show they’ve snuck aboard a ridged airship, a space shuttle and a submarine. ![]() She gets steadily more inappropriate from here, egged on by Cheryl who’s just plain nuts. Pam: Hey! Innapropriate workplace topic! … and also a dealbreaker. Pam: I’m the Human Recources Director, little miss ‘hostile work environment’.Ĭheryl: she’s riddled with herpes. They hint in episode two that she’s bisexual when she watches Lana walking past–Ĭheryl: …are you totally just gay for her? Once the show got off the ground Pam slowly got more and more badass. She’s the head of HR at ISIS (International Secret Intelligence Service) and seems to take her job seriously, but given that none of her co-workers take her seriously her effectiveness is limited. When I watched Archer for the first time I initially wrote Pam off as just another ‘fat girl’ stereotype. Following on from last week’s blog about Lana Kane, this week I want to discuss one of my other favourite Archer characters, Pam Poovey.
