What do you mean Ben is fashion-challenged?
26 min
Archive LaserKaraoke Party! (LaserKaraoke)
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).
27 min
Number Stations (And Other Radio Oddities)
Covert broadcasts...and how to decode them (your results may vary).
20 min
The EAS Zombie Hoax of 2013
Or, as Ben likes to call it, the Max Headroom Incident's annoying, less creative little brother.
16 min
8-Tracks (or, The Care & Feeding Of Your 8-Track)
And Ben thought it would just be another cool toy for his collection. How naive...

Come visit the Archive Children's Disco before it's condemned!

QUBE Interactive TV
An interesting, but (unsurprisingly) failed, early attempt at multimedia interactivity.
22 min
A Bargain Bin Christmas (or, Ben's Holiday Hits!)
Five forgotten holiday albums that will...more than likely remain forgotten.
25 min
Infomercials
Have you ever wanted to make "melons" in real estate? If so, you've come to the right place!
20 min
Industrial Musicals (or, The Archive Sells Out!)
...because salesmen need the comfort of knowing that their product is truly the answer to all problems (consumerist OR existential).
29 min
Educational Film Salute (or, The Stock Footage Special!)
Don't screw with Jam Handy!
17 min
Teknikel Diffikultees (Technical Difficulties)

22 min
PSA's (or, The More You Know, The Less You Understand)
If V.D. really is for everybody, why don't I have it?
24 min
Interstitials
...because only Ben would be stupid enough to devote an entire regular Archive episode to between-show filler.
18 min
A Tour of the Archive (or, roll up for the Magical, Mysterious Archive Tour)
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.
38 min
More Record Rip-Offs
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!
31 min
Test Cards (and Patterns)
Wait, there's a logic to all this?
