Venture Brothers..Like it or not and why?

[JohnRTroy]

Speaking of Johnny Quest parodies, what was the name of that other one? I think it was on an episode of Freekazoid.

Ah, that was a blast, and not as mean-spirited or risque as VB. It was called "Toby Danger", and was pretty funny. They need to put Freakazoid on DVD someday.

The only thing about Adult Swim I hate is the fact that they take the genuine HB characters and mock them in their own shows, rather than create a true parody. I hate crap like Sealab 2021 and Space Ghost, etc.

I think it's hillarious, I love that show


The Seraph of Earth and Stone

We're going to be the only ones there with henchmen!

I'm surprised we don't see more Venture Brothers references around here, in sigs, etc. One of many amusing quotes:

Monarch: Hey, guess what? Nobody cares who would win in a crazy fantasy fist-fight between Anne Frank and Lizzy Borden. We never should have brought the henchmen! We're going to be the only ones there with henchmen!​

The garage sale was a great episode.

the shrink ray, with the picture og a shrink ray on the dial to tell you you it was on shrink mode was funny.

I like when Brock came out of the grave in Mexico "THEY HIT ME WITH A TRUCK!!!" Still clutching the dead body of a henchman.

I love it..one of the few shows on AS that has a story line, just isnt stream of conscious, schtcik stuff. I had originally feared the show would just be a Jonny Quest rip off spoff, but its a great comedic takes on all manner of geek themes : superheroes, Hanna Barabara cartoons and super sciency stuff.


The Monarch is my favorite, and Dr Girlfriends Tony Curtis deep voice is hilarous, and Dr Orpheus.. ah well theres too many things I like about it.

I can honestly say every episode I've seen so far rocks. I will definately buy the season 1 set in november. Hope it makes it to a season 2.

Gotta agree on how funny the garage sale was. Also loved the "Depeche Mode" bit. The episode with Monarch in prison doing the "tough love" thing was hilarious too.

Thank you. I was wondering if anybody was gonna give Dr. Girlfriend her proper respect! I love this show. It's like a train wreck I just can't look away from. Brock Sampson. Monarch. Dr. O. Even Dr. Venture and his boys, "Runs-with-scissors" & "Henchman Reject."

I love this show. In fact, I think it might be even better than Inuyasha (btw, did anybody catch exactly what the stats were on Tetsuaiga? AS put them up one time and mocked anyone who understood the reference.

It depends on what you're looking for. VB is a comedy. Inuyasha is a comedy/action/romance. Naturally, Inuyasha isn't going to be funnier than VB.

Regarding the Tetsusaiga, yes I remember seeing that segue a while ago. It went something like "The tetsusaiga is a sword that does 1-10 damage and crits on a 19-20. When it transforms it does 2-8 damage and crits on an 18-20. And if you know what that means, you have serious problems." The irony being, of course, that they know what it means. I love AS.

Dr. Girlfriend really creeped me out the first time I saw the show. Now, of course, I give Dr. Girlfriend her proper respect. (And who doesn't love her old Frazetta-designed costume?)

Second Season

Can anyone confirm or deny that Venture Brothers is getting a second season?
