Venture Brothers
 
This show is insanly underrated.

Destor 12-11-2006 08:09 PM

It's my favorite [Adult Swim] show. :D

Nowhere Man 12-11-2006 08:28 PM

Venture Brothers is by far the best cartoon on that network; the humor on the show is actually cleverly written jokes instead of just throwing random shit together or referencing stuff from the 80s (though they do that, too, but at least they're witty about it). It's the only [AS] original show that I can even stomach watching.

Skippord 12-13-2006 09:58 PM

One of my favorite shows

LoDownM 12-13-2006 10:02 PM

Adult Swim sucks now adays, aside from Robot Chicken and Venture Bros. and the occasional Aqua Team Hunger Force.

But yes, the show is the goods.

Fignuts 12-14-2006 01:11 AM

You're forgetting Harvey Birdman.

LoDownM 12-14-2006 01:57 AM

omg your right.

Funky Fly 12-14-2006 04:09 PM

Yeah, awesomeness.

I seriously could not stop laughing for 5 minutes straight afetr the beginning of this episode.

KillerWolf 12-15-2006 06:33 AM

i got really into it the first season, but the two episodes i saw from this new season didnt do it for me. i'll have to check it out again.

LOL, yes. That is so glorious. :heart:


I always liked the episode with Dr. Henry Killinger and his Magic Murder Bag.

Seriously?

The new season is even funnier IMO.

YOUR Hero 12-15-2006 09:58 PM

It's alright. As far as I'm concerned Aqua Teen is far above anything else. Harvey Birdman is a distant second.

Destor 12-15-2006 10:03 PM

While we're talking about Adult Swim shows, Frisky Dingo is the balls.

Fignuts 12-15-2006 10:14 PM

Wanna see that show so bad. For some reason AS doesn't start til midnight here.

hang on. 1,000th post.

KillerWolf 12-16-2006 03:41 PM

okay. hey, has anyone seen Happy Tree Freinds and Friends on G4? it's a cartoon of cute little forest creatures with fairly bad animation. the twist being that every character is like Kenny McCormick in that they all die grusome deaths in every episode.

Destor 12-16-2006 07:17 PM

Yeah, I thought it was unwatchable.

KillerWolf 12-18-2006 08:48 AM

it does get old pretty quick. it's almost like cringe humor. some of it is just so damn grusome that it's funny.

Destor 12-18-2006 04:22 PM

I guess. Have you seen Assy-Mgee? Cause I think the same people who like that would probably like Happy Tree Freinds.

mitchables 11-29-2012 06:34 AM

FIGNUTS DID YOU SEE THE HALLOWEEN SPECIAL

seriously this show just keeps delivering. Season 4 was amazing. Halloween special was almost worth the two-year wait. Actually, for the developments alone, I will even go ahead and say it was totally worth it.

Skippord 11-29-2012 07:21 AM

I didn't even remember we had a Venture Bros. thread

The Destroyer 11-29-2012 07:36 AM

You can't remember something from 6 years ago? You senile old fool.

Skippord 11-29-2012 08:17 AM

getting old and losing my memory :'(

Fignuts 11-29-2012 12:26 PM

NO I DID NOT MITCH.VERY UPSET I MISSED IT. WILL NOW GO OUT INTO THE WORLD AND UNLEASH MY ANGER ON IT

Fignuts 11-29-2012 12:27 PM

One might even say I'm going to VENTURE out into the world.

whiteyford 11-29-2012 12:35 PM

Love the Venture Bros.

Just download it. Torrent is on kat.ph / the pirate bay. Buy it later when it comes out on DVD to make up for it. It is worth it. Dean has changed and actually hit puberty (even vocally) and looks like Peter Parker from SM3, and... ugh I want to tell you things but I CAN'T :'(

Will do this now.

Fignuts 11-30-2012 01:54 AM

Nice. Found a torrent of every season in mp4 format in the process.

Skippord 11-30-2012 02:49 AM

Hank dies at the end

thought it was a dark direction to go

Fignuts 11-30-2012 02:20 PM

Ahaha this was great.

Really hope J.K. Simmons stays on. Loved Ben and Rico.

that's why it was a fake spoiler!!!!!!!!!!

Skippord 12-01-2012 04:34 AM

Fignuts 12-10-2012 06:14 AM

New season starts in February. Can't wait.

mitchables 06-03-2013 05:24 AM

not quite february but it's finally back. first episode was great. can't wait to see where the season goes from here.

Discovered this show via Netflix. Took me awhile to get into it, but I'm a fan. Great piece of mindless entertainment.

Tom Guycott 06-03-2013 03:47 PM

Too bad only season one is up on Netflix so far. You got a lot to look foward to, NBT. It only gets better.

Fignuts 06-03-2013 03:54 PM

Yeah, first season is good, but it's definitely the weakest.

Skippord 06-03-2013 04:32 PM

it also gets way less mindless

Same for me, they really need to add more the Netflix.

mitchables 06-03-2013 06:33 PM

yeah, they were obviously finding their feet in season one (the creators have even said they had no idea where they were going with the "rusty is pregnant" storyline when they began it, for example). but after, even a little bit during, season one, the tapestry tightens and, honest to god, it develops one of the strongest continuities and universes i've seen in a tv program. there is so much to it. so far beyond being mindless entertainment now.

so did any of you guys watch the premiere? thoughts?


SPOILER: show
i get the feeling gary is going to rebuild sphinx, based on what little i saw in the sneak peek video a few months ago. i love that he's developed into the character he has. big fan of augustus st cloud and the quiz-off with billy. the game of thrones/rocky role-playing disaster was great. also, the monarch + dr mrs the monarch high on rusty's "antidote" was adorable.



pretty stupendous return, really. it almost felt like two years of my life hadn't passed between the prom and the pick-up.

mitchables 06-03-2013 06:35 PM

didn't realise fignuts had posted a link to the full episode. kind of makes my question redundant. WATCH IT, if you have not.

uh, and if you're up to speed on your venture bros. not gonna make a tonne of sense otherwise, i guess.

Fignuts 06-04-2013 12:57 AM

Skippord 06-04-2013 05:50 AM

where were you when I watched the premiere and had forgotten a lot of stuff since I hadn't rewatched the season 4 finale since 2010?

mitchables 06-04-2013 06:56 AM

my lady and i cosplayed as the monarch and dr mrs the monarch for a con back in april. it was badass.

we ran into a 21 as well, so we got some photos with him, which i think are still on her camera. but that was cool.

supposed to be a venture bros. group getting put together for the con in november too so that should be sweet.

Tom Guycott 06-06-2013 12:07 AM

The "Soylent Green" bit was priceless. I thought they were just going to slip that under the radar with an offhand comment, and they went all the way with it. :y:

That's one of the joys with this show.

Tom Guycott 06-11-2013 01:58 AM

Wonder if she's wearing the poisoned heels.

mitchables 06-11-2013 04:15 AM

episode two was classic ventures. really liked the re-appearance of the shaggy/fred pastiches. nice touch. there were a couple of other blink-and-you'll-miss-it references and things that i'd have to rewatch the episode to properly recall - i'm pretty sure there was even a wayne's world joke in there (the "five, four, three..." *mouths two and one* countdown bit). ughhh this season is going to be SO FUCKING GOOD.

Skippord 06-11-2013 04:19 AM

Hank as Jungle Batman :heart:

mitchables 06-11-2013 04:26 AM

that was amazing. hank (and dean, actually) - frighteningly capable under the right circumstances.

also, going back to the premiere - i have been saying "eat the pennies, quizboy" like augustus st cloud a lot ever since. no idea why, even.

Fignuts 06-11-2013 12:46 PM

Wait, where were the fred and shaggy clones?

they were kind of like venturestein's 21 and 24, i guess? - they're with him during the flashback scene (when the two lead -steins, which are hank and dean clones, get blown up) - and then they're around a fair bit back at the temple complex where venturestein is holding doc and hatred.

that's them dragging rusty away, left column, third from top.

Skippord 06-11-2013 08:11 PM

I also enjoyed the Human Centipede when all the abominations showed up

mitchables 06-18-2013 06:33 PM

third episode was good, but i don't know if i liked it as much as the first two - which feels strange to say because the premise was amazing. just don't know if the execution was on-point. i dunno, might need a rewatch. i was a little thrown by all the new faces, i guess? not that i'm saying it was a bad episode. but afterwards i felt very much like the grand galactic inquisitor having seen rusty's dreams: that was a weird one.

Fignuts 06-19-2013 12:45 AM

The fuck, how is this not on piratebay yet?

mitchables 06-19-2013 04:44 AM

it is. or it's at least on kickass.to

try there

Fignuts 06-19-2013 06:58 AM

That was awesome. Was the black guy Tim Meadows?

Skippord 06-20-2013 01:50 AM

yeah

Hank as the countess made me laugh every time. Also Cobra Commander guy was incredible.

Fignuts 06-20-2013 01:58 AM

That's so raven.

That was a damn good Chris Latta impersonation, considering the pretty unique voice.

Tom Guycott 06-24-2013 08:01 AM

Interesting how Jonas was both a very caring father AND a very neglectful one.

Speaking of children... yeah, got a good laugh with the "suspicious" looking kids showing up. Wonder how many more are around the world?

Tom Guycott 07-15-2013 03:20 AM

HOLY CRAP!!!

ClockShot 07-15-2013 02:59 PM

Saw Paget Brewster had some voice credits in last night's episode.

Damn, I wish she was back on TV.

Next Big Thing 07-16-2013 12:19 PM

So many little things I forgot about. Pretty sure Brock killed the guy whose costume Shore Leave used in a previous episode. Lots of continuity.

mitchables 02-03-2016 01:30 AM

AND WE'RE BACK <3

premiere was fantastic. venture bros -- and archer, while we're at it -- utterly excels when it shakes up the status quo and burns down the house (literally, in this case). and the new setting of new york -- with a clean-ish slate, new characters, and reversed fortunes for everyone from the ventures and the monarchs to the entire guild of calamitous intent -- is crammed with potential and possibility and i am fucking STOKED

so much good stuff in this ep

- loved hank's rotating bieber wardrobes.

- great nod with "mr reachmore" (vale mr reachy).

- wide wale is a pretty great villain. strange portmanteau of kingpin and don corleone and... a whale... but probably a good replacement for the sort of 'white-collar monster-criminal' role mostly played sporadically by monstroso up till now. clearly gonna be a pretty big player (no pun) this season.

- crusader action league were amazing. was nice seeing a distinct dc/marvel bent to the new york heroes. greatly enjoyed the fallen archer (A+ name) and his blatant fusion of oliver queen and clint barton.

- loved "night dick". the whole thing. the concept and execution were beautiful.

- was good to see brown widow back too, loved his exchange with his teacher-bully.

- nice to see brock return as the ventures' bodyguard, but i have really fallen in love with sgt hatred over the past couple of seasons so i hope this yields something good for that character too.

- "i don't even care about the breast thing, i wanna do you! ... what happened?"

- h.e.l.p.er's feud with new/improved venture-bot thing was great, and had the exact resolution i wanted it to. nobody messes with h.e.l.p.er.

- the fallout from the sovereign's betrayal is the most interesting thing to happen to the guild in years. kind of love how monarch and 21 have been left at home to their own devices while dr. mrs. is at work. also loved the swerve about wide whale being after his arching rights to dr. venture rather than the obvious sex pest angle.

- meta joke about "diversity" in the council was pretty great.

- also enjoying the heightened screen time for radical left. i know he's a blatant two-face homage but he's done pretty brilliantly.

questions/discussion
- i was stoked to see dr. z and red mantle/dragoon hybrid back on the council of 13 (or seven atm, whatever), but didn't they turn themselves over to the OSI in exchange for amnesty during the events of all this & gargantua-2? are they moles in the guild? or are we just forgetting that they did that? vb is a show with continuity too thick for a rookie mistake like that, i would think, so i expect there's a reason they're there - whether at the OSI's command or because they've since severed ties, idk.

- where does this leave the order of the triad? orpheus was renting on doc's property; has he moved to new york too? will we ever get to see the sweet little magical pudding that is the alchemist ever again?

only seven weeks remain of this season so let's all enjoy this while we can before we have to wait another three years for the next one and put up with amateur whiners like rick & morty fans ("boo hoo, a year and a half until season three!" - get fucked.)

Tom Guycott 08-22-2018 01:04 AM

... and I'm digging this up because of GODDAMN SEASON SEVEN, BITCHES!!!

I legit had to go back and rewatch all three episodes thus far, because, damn.

I can never mention enough how much I love this fucking show.

Destor 08-22-2018 11:45 AM

Such patience. Screw that noise.

Tom Guycott 10-08-2018 01:10 AM

... and another cliffhanger for an indeterminate amount of time.

Of course, I will wait forever for more Venture Bros., but c'mon with the making way more unanswered questions!

Fignuts 10-10-2018 06:01 AM

Just binge watched the entire 7th season.

Ridiculous how good this show is. Nothing on television is this consistent. Nothing.
