Most of the time, we're excited about what Mr. Q discovers in the Archie McPhee archives, but sometimes it's scary! This time he comes back with a horrifying bagel, a real version of an urban myth, and a frilled lizard. Archie McPhee has a long history with the Jesus lizard. We used to have one on the exterior of our...

In this episode, Mr. Q takes us through warrior toads, Japanese wrestlers, and the scariest alarm clock ever! It also features the original version of the Punching Nun and one of Archie McPhee's first cockroaches. 

We're not sure what box Mr. Q opened in the archives that contained nasty old teeth and creepily detailed glow-in-the-dark feet, but we're sure glad he did! Some of the items that Mr. Q finds serve as inspiration for products that Archie McPhee makes, but others are a "keep out" sign that saves us from making a horrible horrible mistake....

From a tape dispenser that appears to be vomiting tape to recently vivisected elf heads, Mr. Q is your guide to the (sometimes dark) depths of the Archie McPhee archives. He even said he'd call...

  We were inspired during the holiday season to get a group of five of our Biggest and Loudest Rubber Chickens and have them perform Jingle Bells. It worked out so well, we thought we'd share it with you! (Ok, so it's amusing, but not musically that great. What can you do?) Just so you know the World's Largest Rubber...

Mr. Q is back with more paraphernalia from the Archie McPhee Archives! In this episode, you can see everything from pink and yellow walking monsters to a pink ball with a human mouth and feed. Not to mention the blue-eyed locals, spacemen, cavemen, and finally werewolves with various lengths of pants on. Mr. Q loves a good werewolf, especially one with...

  Wow, what can we say about this story from the CityStream show on the Seattle Channel except, thank you! They really took the time to examine how much deeply weird stuff we've done and talk to some amazing customers. You'll get to hear from Mark Pahlow, Shana Danger, and David Wahl about why they love Archie McPhee. Here some...

  Truth be told, the employees at Archie McPhee probably aren't the best people to do a taste test of any kind of weird candy. After all, last year we did Mac & Cheese Candy Canes and clam-flavored Clamdy Canes! That's why we were super excited when our newest employees (Kyle, Dylan, and Nick)  agreed to join us in a...
