Season 2

2013-08-01 · 26m

What do you mean Ben is fashion-challenged?

4. Archive LaserKaraoke Party! (LaserKaraoke)

2013-08-15 · 27m

Seeing as the Archive somehow managed to hit the 30 episode mark, it seemed like a good time to throw a nice, little (tax-deductible) party. Plus, Ben sings a viewer poll-selected song (a move that was instantly regretted by all who voted).

5. Number Stations (And Other Radio Oddities)

2013-08-29 · 20m

Covert broadcasts...and how to decode them (your results may vary).

6. The EAS Zombie Hoax of 2013

Or, as Ben likes to call it, the Max Headroom Incident's annoying, less creative little brother.

7. 8-Tracks (or, The Care & Feeding Of Your 8-Track)

2013-09-20 · 16m

And Ben thought it would just be another cool toy for his collection. How naive...

Learn to gamble--Archive style! God help us...

Forced to discuss his fourth knockoff Disco record in a row, Ben has a slight meltdown.

11. Format Wars Vol. 2 (Pre-Betamax)

2013-11-07 · 14m

VHS vs. Beta? How 1977...

12. VHS Vault Vol. 4 (VCR Games)

2013-11-21 · 22m

Ben's still having nightmares about being forced to play charades with Rich Little.

13. QUBE Interactive TV

2013-12-05 · 22m

An interesting, but (unsurprisingly) failed, early attempt at multimedia interactivity.

2013-12-19 · 25m

Five forgotten holiday albums that will...more than likely remain forgotten.

15. Infomercials

Have you ever wanted to make "melons" in real estate? If so, you've come to the right place!

16. Industrial Musicals (or, The Archive Sells Out!)

2014-01-16 · 29m

...because salesmen need the comfort of knowing that their product is truly the answer to all problems (consumerist OR existential).

17. Educational Film Salute (or, The Stock Footage Special!)

2014-01-23 · 17m

Don't screw with Jam Handy!

The Archive is currently experiencing technical difficulties...LOTS of them...and Ben refuses to take responsibility. So there.

2014-02-20 · 24m

If V.D. really is for everybody, why don't I have it?

20. Interstitials

2014-03-06 · 18m

...because only Ben would be stupid enough to devote an entire regular Archive episode to between-show filler.

21. A Tour of the Archive (or, roll up for the Magical, Mysterious Archive Tour)

2014-03-20 · 38m

Alternate Title: Why Ben should never make a full "behind-the-scenes" episode. Alternate Title #2: Ben stammers for 38 minutes. Alternate Title #3: Why Ben will never get a date.

22. More Record Rip-Offs

2014-04-03 · 31m

The Archive gathers together all your favorite '70's hits--then realizes that the major labels, the RIAA, etc. would have our nuts in a sling over it. More ripoff records it is then! All 70's edition!

23. Test Cards (and Patterns)

2014-04-17 · 14m

Wait, there's a logic to all this?
