3. P.G. Wodehouse's Jeeves and Wooster Series

Which Episode It Can Be Found In: Various A name made synonymous for a butler or valet, the term €œJeeves€ is easily recognized from the character of the same name in the P.G. Wodehouse's series of Jeeves and Wooster books. Jeeves acts as a valet and confidant to Wooster during various adventures. The writer and creator's name, Wodehouse, is pronounced as€œWoodhouse.€ As a tongue-in-cheek homage to the books, Archer's heroin-addicted submissive valet answers to the name €œWoodhouse.€ Responsible for most of Archer's upbringing, as well as cleaning up his messes as an adult, the elderly Woodhouse receives mostly harsh criticism from Sterling Archer and a meager paycheck from Mallory.
