Venture Brothers

[omicron]

New season started last night and it cracked me up! It was very funny how they resolved the death of Dean and Hank from the end of last season. Basically, they are clones and have died 14 times already! The montage to their deaths was great! Running in the house with scissors, decapitated on their hoverbikes, etc. But the funny one was them quietly dying in their sleep and the voiceover was "Gas, it's a silent killer". :)

[DaForce]

I loved this episode! Especially the way the main titles kept you guessing as to the fate of Hank and Dean by naming Jonas and Rusty as the Venture Bros. Truly great stuff.

Oh, and the Monarch being woken up by the half-hearted cell rape by King Gorilla who 'just couldn't get into it' because the Monarch looked too much like a woman, was absolutely priceless!

[DaForce]

For those that missed Sunday's episode, go to adultswim.com and look at the fix link. The episode can be viewed there in its entireity sans commercials.


:wink:

[Trazalca]

Thanks for the link.
The clone sequence was gave me trouble breathing from laughing so hard.

[DaForce]

"Assassainanny" is on tonight, or if you want to see it earlier it's online. So far, it's my favorite episode. Brock, fucking, Samson. That's all I've got to say.

[omicron]

It definitely was another action packed episode. Nice to see a little background on Brock. It was interesting to see him as more than just a dumb brick.

Plus add in all the spy genre stereotypes and the ending homage to Apocalypse Now and Hank's Jim Morrison/The Doors act, and you've got another funny episode.

Omi

[omicron]

Ok, am I nuts or is there just no part one of this episode? Still pretty damn funny. :)

omi

[Magell]

There is no part 1 which is hilarious. I loved the competition between Orpheus and Dr. Venture. The best part was Orpheus creating fire with his hands and then Dr. Venture firing back by lighting a match. The new episodes have just been hilarious.

[DaForce]

New Venture Bros. on tonight (it's already on the Fix) called "Twenty Years to Midnight". These episodes just keep getting better and better.


"I AM THE GALACTIC GRAND INQUISTOR!!! JUST IGNORE ME!!!"



That just made me laugh...that and what's become of Johnny Quest. I keep laughing just thinking about it.



.

[omicron]

I missed the early show, and ran tape on the late show so I got it at home. I might watch it on The Fix, but my laptop is acting screwy and streaming video is crappy.

Omi

[Bark]

I just started watching it, but I like this one the best so far.

That was freaky and hilarious. JQ getting tripped out perpetually
on the benz while stuck in an underwater lab. Classic. :lol:

[omicron]

while I love this show, I feel like they are starting to take the Simpson's route. Let me explain. Later episodes of the Simpson's seem to take a plot device, and then randomly go off on tangents with no clear resolution. VB seems to do this more and more. Last week's episode really confused me. What was the chip, why did Lincoln think he was going to assasinate the Pres, etc etc.

I do like how they morphed Clinton and Bush into one over-sexed imbecile though. :lol:

The chip came from Gargantuan 1 (that's a great name for a space station!) that had imbedded itself in the back of his head in the crash. The chip had nothing to do with mind control, his mother was controlling him all the time.

Lincoln had seen The Manchurian Canidate one too many times. :lol: That's why he thought the Pres. was going to be assasinated.

They tend to go for the simpler explanations on the show.




"My Lincoln sense is tingling!!"


:D

[awakenangel]

you gotta remember lincoln got issues, is he paronoid...yes he got shoot in the back of the head, who would'nt be paroniod:lol: his ghost got is now the living embodiement of conspiracy.

venture bros. is one of the best shows on tv and some more are in my opinion:

arrested developement: a great miscarriage of justice, I think A. D. got axed because ron howard directed the di vinci code and the christian right took it out on this show because they could not stop the movie.
cowboy bebop" repeat hell
samuria champloo: repeat hell
boston legal: this tues premiere
scrubs: returning october 1
reno 911: becoming a movie
smallville: not many can come to tv and survive this long, they are few and far between.

[Bark]

Last night. Best. Episode. Yet. :D

[DaForce]

Dr. Henry Killinger. :D

Finally, we get to see that Dr. Girlfriend can kick some major a$$ and keep that thong in place. :wink:

[omicron]

yeah that was a pretty funny episode. Wonder if that was really their mother? Still the end was pretty good. "Ok so I fucked her!":D

Omi

[DaForce]

"You hit him so hard, he's got an afro now."


Damn. There is something that was seriously fucked up with this entire episode...but in a good way. I was laughing all the way through it. Blending the Scooby gang with the SLA (the guys that kidnapped Patty Hearst) had me laughing my ass off.

There was something that felt strangely familiar about the comedy and the writing, and I found out what it was....Ben Edlund had written the episode. Edlund is responsible for The Tick. The comic book, then the animated and live action shows. He's also responsible for the puppet episode of "Angel", and he's a producer on "Supernatural". Basically, one of my favorite people in the industry.

If you guys haven't seen this weeks episode, go see it on the Fix at Adult Swim right now. Just wrong on so many levels.

[awakenangel]

{SPOILER} Dr. Girlfriend:"Monarch I have something to tell you. I'm..."
The Monarch: " Whaaatt!...:

Did she say she's really a guy or that she's pregnat? Very funny episode. Nuff said.

[Trazalca]

That was among the best episodes yet.
Loved the sparring between the 70's rock gods, Iggy, Bowie and
the weird dude with the screaming (forget his name).

I too cannot wait to see what Dr. Girlfriend's secret is.

And you have to wonder, since the wedding ceremony was interrupted,
was it still legit?

Hmm.... me smells a loophole....

[DaForce]

Not to mention the Phantom Limb losing a.....*ahem*...appendage. :wink:

[Trazalca]

The one the monk kept for himself? I really didn't want my imagination to wander. :smirks:

[Magell]

I was kind of hoping that they would kill Hank and Dean at the end of this season too. That was a cool two way to end the season. I think this season was better than the first one since all of the characters seemed to have more focus behind them plus we saw some cooler minor characters added to the mix. I hope there is a season 3 and I can't wait for it if there is.

[omicron]

watched it last night, and I was cracking up. Why was Dean hallucinating? And the two minions(24 and the fat one) are great minor characters. Probably have to rewatch it today online. :)

Dean was hallucinating because he was trapped, and under stress, so he created a dream world to feel safe in. Like Brock said at the end of the credits when Dean is riding on top of the jet, "He does this all the time. Pretty soon he'll pass out, and we'll go up and get him."

[awakenangel]

:headscratch: How many episodes aired...was it 13 all ready? Damn, it seemed like only half that. I've ordred season one from my local libary because I missed a couple of shows in the first season and the extras looks like it may be a delight.

[DaForce]

All 13 have aired.


I can't wait for season 3.



:jump2:

[Trazalca]

Daforce? I've been trying to catch up with season 1 online.
(They're all available online at the adultswim fix page, btw)

Which episode is it where the Venture boys are killed off?

[omicron]

End of season one, I believe. Maybe Return to Spider-Skull Island? I've got season 1 at home on DVD, I will check to make sure.

Omi

[DaForce]

Yup, that's the one.


It was the season cliffhanger.



God how I love the tenacity of this show!


I believe they may have been the first show on Cartoon network to use the word 'blowjob' without being bleeped.

Look what's available for auction at Ebay. (http://cgi.ebay.com/VENTURE-BROS-DVD-ORIGINAL-ART-BILL-SIENKIEWICZ-brothers_W0QQitemZ200039380708QQihZ010QQcategoryZ9 72QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem) :eek:

Make your own Brock Samson license. (http://www.venturebros.com/graphics/license_make.jpg)


I found it here (http://www.venturebros.com/).

[DaForce]

So last week or the week before I was doing a little searching on the Venture Bros. because I really dig the show. I found out a neat little tid bit of information about the creators of the show...they've all worked with Ben Edlund on the animated Tick series of the early 1990's.

That's where that really twisted sense of humor that I like so much comes from. Very cool info.

[Bill_the_Pony]

Do you have the link to jackson publick's livejournal (http://jacksonpublick.livejournal.com/)?

Coooool shtuff. :cool:

[DaForce]

Yup, I was reading a lot of the stuff there...that's also where I got the pic of the Grand Galactic Inquisitor. :D

[Brough]

Ladies and Gentlemen, after being plagued for weeks with the question asked by the henchmen in "Are You There God, Its Me, Dean" involving smurfs, I decided to seek out a scientist to get my answer. Here are my results http://youtube.com/watch?v=_kLM3TeADj4, enjoy!

P.S., if you have question you want featured in the next edition, let em fly.

Merry Christmas from the Venture Bros. (http://www.quickstopentertainment.com/holidayhavoc/venture_bros_venture_aid_2006.mp3) crew.

Also, here's their take on the David Bowie/Bing Crosby version of Little Drummer Boy (http://www.quickstopentertainment.com/holidayhavoc/venture_bros_little_drummer_boy.mp3).

Finally, you can hear their version of the Dolly Parton classic Hard Candy Christmas (http://www.quickstopentertainment.com/holidayhavoc/venture_bros_hard_candy_xmas.mp3).

Too freakin funny!

[Bill_the_Pony]

I would love to see some promotional items made for The Venture Bros., like figures and tin lunch boxes. :)

I literally just got finished reading an episode breakdown and commentary in Toyfare magazine. In it, Publick says he's very interested in doing a live-action movie of the Venture Bros. In fact, he's been writing up a 90 min. treatment. :D


That would so kick ass.

[DaForce]

Here's (http://cgi.ebay.com/VENTURE-BROS-Signed-Film-Festival-Poster-RARE_W0QQitemZ260072363832QQihZ016QQcategoryZ32989 QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem) a poster by Doc Hammer, signed by both Doc and Publick. Bidding is still on.

[Bill_the_Pony]

Damnation. :mad:

It's ended. :Tongue:

And I had exactly 263 dollars to spend, not counting the seven dollars postage. :mad:

[DaForce]

So I decided to stop at Publick's blog today (http://jacksonpublick.livejournal.com/) and saw a new post. The boys are busy. Season 3 is a go, but it still needs to be written, then voiced, and then animated. So we won't be seeing season 3 until 2008.

NO SEASON 3 UNTIL 2008!!

Oh well, at least season 2 is now out on DVD.

[omicron]

Ohh, need to add that to my wishlist on amazon.

[DaForce]

Whoops! Made one mistake. Season two isn't out until April 17th.

[Bill_the_Pony]

:Tongue:

Yes, I was just over at Amazon.









Smooth move, Ex-Lax. :D

[Bill_the_Pony]

Venture Bros. Season Three is being shot in HD!!!!

A cartoon in HD is . . . well . . . kinda pointless, IMHO. However, I am happy to see new episodes in the pipeline. :)

Unfortunately, Season 3 won't air until around June. :(

BUT Season 4 won't be far behind season 3.

Until then, here's a little holiday cheer....Venture style...

Been awhile since I played that, and I remember again when Dean is reading spells out of Dr. Orpheus' Necronomicon, you hear the last bit of Merlin's Charm of Making from the movie Excalibur. :D

The Monarch and Dr. Girlfriend (http://www.action-figure.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=23038)

I am excited to see Brock's crazy-ass instructor back.

Wait, wasn't he undergoing a sex change operation last season??

[DaForce]

Season 3 finale on tonight.

It's also already on adultswim.com if you want to watch it there.

[NotAFan]

Not sure if this counts as Season Finale spoiler but:








Hey what was up with that? :headscratch:

I thought they weren't supposed to know they were clones? somebody explain this to me as I am stupid! :confused:

[mckracken]

I didnt think there was an iota of consistency on Venture Brothers, it not like figuring out they're clones would change anything, they're still gonna die, get ressurected again with all their memories intact.

i think I'm a vew episodes from the end... i've been watching the series on Demand but they arent consistant in uploading them.

[DaForce]

Not a spoiler, since it came out at the beginning of Season 2 that the boys were clones.

There's actually quite a bit of consistency with the Venture universe, BUT you have to watch the episodes in order to actually see that. Comcast On Demand is probably the worst way to watch this series.

Finally, since this is a spoiler for anyone that hasn't watched the Season 3 finale:
Once O.S.I. discovered that Dr. Venture had an illegal clone farm on the compound, they are bound to shut it down. That means that the current versions of Hank and Dean are more than likely the last versions...if OSI has anything to say about it.

[NotAFan]

Never mind I found the answer myself! I have a better question anyway! What was Dr. Mrs. The Monrach's Girlfriend 's secret? I think I know but I just want to double check. Because the answer I heard, sounded stupid and didn't make much sense to me.

Hello?...Hello?....Anybody home? ... Huh? ... McFly? .... Bueller? ... Buller?... [a third 80's movie quote to be named later].... :ohwell:

[DaForce]

They never bothered with the revelations of "The Secret".

It was one of those things that kind of pissed a lot of people off. Kind of like, what happened to Phantom Limb, what happened to the Human Torch knock off, and about 36 (I'm not kidding) other questions that have never been answered.

SPOILER ALERT! SPOILER ALERT! SPOILER ALERT!











I'm assuming that you've seen the new season here, if not then don't read this. In the first episode of the new season "Shadowman 9: In the Cradle of Destiny" some of these questions are answered. In the opening seconds of the episode Monach says to Dr. Girlfriend something like "You know when you said you had something to tell this is the last thing I expected". Then it is revealed that they are going through the guild trials. To be honest that confused me when I saw it and after trying to figure out what it meant and then giving up trying to figure out what it meant I just looked it up online: "Dr. Girlfriend stated in the first episode of season 3 that she had made a promise to the Guild to force the Monarch to stop arching Dr Venture in exchange for agreeing to marry him. However, the secret is never stated explicitly to the audience.". This is from wikipedia. It being from wikipedia I just wanted to get some confirmation on this. It fits with what transpired but I don't understand why Dr. Girlfriend would need the guild's permission to marry the Monarch. In the coda of this same episode the Phantom Limb reappears to kill Manotaur, obviously having survived although I would assume he is in hiding after doublecrossing the guild. What happened to the Human Torch bothered me for awhile too. There are only two places he could be either somewhere in Prof. Impossible's complex or Dr Venture Jr.'s complex. They probablly just threw him in a broom closet. But the reality of it is since he can never leave his cryo-bed or he'll burst into flames and is alseep the whole time. It really doesn't matter all that much.

And this one I'll throwin for free cuz it bothered me almost forever:

Return to SPiderskull Island: This episode originally ran long and Jackson Publick accidentally cut a sequence which explained several key parts of the episode. The Venture family is commissioned to solve a ghost (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghost)-case at a showing of The Rocky Horror Picture Show (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Rocky_Horror_Picture_Show), when Brock attacks and injures almost everyone in the theater. This explains the injuries in the emergency room as well as the panic when everyone sees Brock (dressed as Rocky). In an attempt to fix this, Publick added in a 9-1-1 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/9-1-1) call that can be heard during the opening sequence. In addition, the title sequence was extremely shortened

Again this is from wikipedia.

GO ORDER OF THE TRIAD!!!!!!!!
