The Venture Brother's appreciation thread

“Mecha-Shiva! Mecha-Shiva! Mecha-Shiva!”

Was it me, or was the animation on that sequence extra-well done? It was like the boys’ recollections were more vividly rendered to reflect their embellishment of the facts.

I tend to sing along with the car radio in Dr. Orpheus’ voice. “Rock You Like A Hurricane” is especially fun for this.

Ugh. I’m sure I’m going to try that now. :smack:

That sounds so fun, Hypno-Toad! I think reading aloud dull text like package directions from Rice-a-Roni or something would also be improved by this.

“Do not go in there, I had TACO BELL for lunch!”

Tease to Post #3. Thank you. :wink:

“She thinks I’m teh sex!”

“Nope, totally straight.”
“But it’s the guy from Depeche Mode!”

“I loved Changes!
“That’s a greatest hits album, you poser.”

I don’t think I ever laughed as hard or as long as I did at the opening with lyrics from Space Oddity and Ashes to Ashes.
“Tell my wife I love her.”
“SHE KNOWS!”

And the episodes with Stephen Colbert as Dr. Terrific were pure gold. “What’s more important to you? Your family or science?” “Sci–ence?”

Hank: Dean that’s great and I can’t wait to hear all about it, only Brock’s stuck inside Dad’s thing that makes people happy. But it’s all evil.
Dean: I dare you to make less sense!

Dr. Venture: Dean, I’m going to turn around now, and you’d better be on fire. You’re standing there in flames, and the only person who can put you out is me, because that is the only conceivable reason that you would wake me up like this!

Dr. Orpheus: Evil has struck the House of Venture! The air reeks of an ill wind! Yea, though I have smelt it, that hath dealt it!

Hank: Did the doctor see that creepy dog dork of yours?

Professor Richard Impossible.

Damnit. That’s what I get for not looking it up. And by looking it up, I mean asking my sister who watches both episodes at least once a week.

This one made me go :eek: and :smiley: at the same time:

Dr. Orpheus: I don’t want to worry you with the particulars, but I am a necromancer by trade. You know what that means, don’t you?

Brock: Uh sure, aren’t those that have sex with dead people?

Dr. Orpheus: Phile. Necrophile! A necromancer can bring the dead…to life!

The Monarch is my favorite character on the show; I especially love his speech to the kids at the scared-straight for aspiring supervillains program:

Monarch: What’s your name?

Dean: Dean V…

Monarch: Your name is bitch! I own you! You’re property! And when I’m finished having sex with every hole God drilled in your slender frame…King Gorilla! Gimme a cigarette! There. I just sold you for a cigarette–and I don’t smoke! [pause] Holy [bleep]! You’re Dean [bleep]ing Venture! King, I need to buy my bitch back. Here’s your cigarette.

King Gorilla: [Bleep] you, gimme a dollar.

Pure gold.

Sitnam, thanks for starting this thread! It reminded me to go out and get season two. I just finished watching it all. I had missed a few episodes and now this thread makes a lot more sense and is even funnier.
GO TEAM VENTURE!

P.S. It’s amazing how much risque stuff is getting in the show.

I love the references to Johnny Quest, as in, they apparently take place in the same universe, as Race Bannon was a good friend of Brock’s who then died and soiled himself, and Johnny himself being a drugged out guy. :smiley:

Yeah, Jackson Publick said in his blog that they did that episode since everyone was saying the series was a parody of Johnny Quest, and since CN owns Hanna Barberra, they had no trouble getting permission to use the JQ characters. They were really estatic that they got to work with the guy who does the voice for Race.

Brock: Yeah, they don’t show that part on TV.

from that same episode…

Dr. Impossible: (while holding a ray gun at an infected Hank) Look, you got here late, you’re LOOKING at the antidote!

And upon opening it…
24: “Is this them?”
21: “Are these they?”

24: Are these they? Who talks like that?!
Monarch: Are these they?

There now, how does that feel?

Impossible embarrassing?
