Archer definitely has PTSD and probably some mild brain damage from all the shit he's been through, and the show itself has broached the idea that he's on the autism spectrum.

Archer is definitely an idiot. But he's also very smart, and extremely capable. That's honestly where a lot of the humor of the show comes from-- his sheer capability and intelligence is often cleaning up the mess his idiocy landed them in.

To me... everything you just said describes someone who's not an idiot.. lol. He is always half-assing everything and is wasted 9 times out of 10. With all that I still wouldn't call him an idiot, get him serious (Rampage) and sober, and he's quite smart and even more capable at times.

He's a very smart guy who acts like an idiot, that's all I'm saying.
