Oddity Archive: Season 2 - 26 Episode s

2x1 - Bicentennial Fever
July 4, 2013
Because nothing says "Happy 200th, America" like crappy "collectibles", Up With People and bizarre Government films.
2x2 - Record Ripoffs

Featuring such great (non-)hits from the likes of Hairy Nielsen, BAAB, William Turkey and many, many more! Order today!!!

August 1, 2013
What do you mean Ben is fashion-challenged?
2x4 - Archive LaserKaraoke Party! (LaserKaraoke)
August 15, 2013
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).
2x5 - Number Stations (And Other Radio Oddities)
August 29, 2013
Covert broadcasts...and how to decode them (your results may vary).
2x6 - The EAS Zombie Hoax of 2013

Or, as Ben likes to call it, the Max Headroom Incident's annoying, less creative little brother.
2x7 - 8-Tracks (or, The Care & Feeding Of Your 8-Track)
September 20, 2013
And Ben thought it would just be another cool toy for his collection. How naive...

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

October 3, 2013
Come visit the Archive Children's Disco before it's condemned!
2x10 - Halloween Special 2013 (Italian Dance Party/Son of Halloween Riffs)
October 24, 2013
Forced to discuss his fourth knockoff Disco record in a row, Ben has a slight meltdown.
2x11 - Format Wars Vol. 2 (Pre-Betamax)
November 7, 2013
VHS vs. Beta? How 1977...
2x12 - VHS Vault Vol. 4 (VCR Games)
November 21, 2013
Ben's still having nightmares about being forced to play charades with Rich Little.
2x13 - QUBE Interactive TV
December 5, 2013
An interesting, but (unsurprisingly) failed, early attempt at multimedia interactivity.
2x14 - A Bargain Bin Christmas (or, Ben's Holiday Hits!)
December 19, 2013
Five forgotten holiday albums that will...more than likely remain forgotten.
2x15 - Infomercials

Have you ever wanted to make "melons" in real estate? If so, you've come to the right place!
2x16 - Industrial Musicals (or, The Archive Sells Out!)
January 16, 2014
...because salesmen need the comfort of knowing that their product is truly the answer to all problems (consumerist OR existential).
2x17 - Educational Film Salute (or, The Stock Footage Special!)
January 23, 2014
Don't screw with Jam Handy!
2x18 - Teknikel Diffikultees

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

February 20, 2014
If V.D. really is for everybody, why don't I have it?
2x20 - Interstitials

...because only Ben would be stupid enough to devote an entire regular Archive episode to between-show filler.
2x21 - A Tour of the Archive (or, roll up for the Magical, Mysterious Archive Tour)
March 20, 2014
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.
2x22 - More Record Rip-Offs
April 3, 2014
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!
2x23 - Test Cards (and Patterns)
April 17, 2014
Wait, there's a logic to all this?
