I heard about it, but missed it. **** came up, and I failed to TiVo.

**erepsysoulpfbs** · 10-20-2009, 05:28 AM

That was . . . weird.

**tpdirorg** · 10-20-2009, 10:44 AM

****ing epically weird?

Not so weird - the japanese do weirder.

**UlceskLialels** · 10-20-2009, 03:08 PM

Nah - not really.

All the bits with Brock flow in normal chronological order. All the bits with the Doc and the boys (that do not involve Brock) flow in reverse chronological order, as indicated by the falling price of the Marvel #1.

IMO, season 2 is still the best one so far. "Dude. Stop wailing on my junk."

DUGONG!

Get out of my Sanctum Solarium!

The oft-mentioned, never-before-seen Captain Sunshine makes a triumphant appearance in this week's episode. Another hilarious outing for Team Venture.

Hadn't pegged you for a fellow Venture fan, Patty. Cheers!

Likewise.

TV's best-kept secret.

Poor Che is afraid of Ghost Robot.

No, that's Trailer Park Boys or the Boondocks. Still a fine show, though.

Dean and Hank Venture are the twin teenaged sons of Thaddeus S. "Rusty" Venture, a former "boy adventurer"--think Jonny Quest--who has taken over his dead father's super-science racket. They are protected by their loyal bodyguard/quasimilitary operative, "Swedish murder machine" Brock Samson. They are menaced by a "supervillian" known as The Monarch, whose supervillany is guided by a very strict rulebook for supervillians and their "arching" activities.

It's a show about failure. Rusty is a barely-passable scientist, and an even worse father; the boys are, in their best moments, dim. The Monarch is also failure-prone. None of them are dumb, exactly--they just don't tend to think things through very well.

There is a very, very large cast of very, very funny supporting characters, including but not limited to: Dr. Byron Orpheus, a necromancer who is renting out some unused labspace in the Venture compound; Dr. Girlfriend, a beautiful villian with the voice of a Brooklyn bully who is The Monarch's "Number Two"; 21 & 24, two cowardly and pop-culture obsessed henchmen; Phantom Limb, a rival supervillian; and Molotov Cocktease, a former Russian superagent and current assassin, and the unrequited love of Brock Samson's life.

The humor ranges from Three Stooges-esque slapstick to outright parody to high-falutin' comedy of language and manners. It is very, very heavy on both character and plot. It wouldn't be inaccurate to call it the "Lost" of comedy and/or cartoons.

Here is 21 putting on his henchman gear, after The Monarch returns from yet another setback:

Yes, but better.

In fact, Patrick Warburton (the actor in the short-lived, but ****ing awesome live-action The Tick) is the voice of Brock.

24 could be brought back to life. They do have cloning machines.
