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

0.0 20 min
9. Hallmark Presents: The Sounds of Halloween
Oct 23, 2014

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.

10. Halloween Special 2014 (Archive Wares: Rejuvenique Facial System)
Oct 30, 2014

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".

11. Local TV Vol. 4 (Local Commercials)
Nov 13, 2014

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

15. Future Oddities (Benny-boy Predicts)
Dec 31, 2014

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).

17. VHS Vault Vol. 6: How's Your Sex Life? (Valentine's Day Special 2015)
Feb 12, 2015

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.

0.0 24 min
18. The DuMont Network
Jan 29, 2015

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