The Venture Brothers - johntfs - 10-06-2010
Words have difficulty expressing how much I love this show. For those not already fans, the show follows the failure-ridden "adventures" of former boy adventurer Dr. Rusty Venture, his naive (and often-cloned) sons Hank and Dean and their bodyguard, mostly reformed child molester Sergeant Hatred. Their previous bodyguard, Brock Sampson, has left to join a G.I.Joe-like organization dedicated to doing something about supervillains.
This was an exchange that took up a full two minutes on a recent show.
[url=http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/?CommentID=263498][/url] Col. Gathers: It's downright unreasonable. I could pole-dance better than half those women. Good lord, son, there should be a mandatory retirement age for strippers.
Brock: Did you see I got cornered by Robin last night? I almost had to chew off my own arm to get away.
Col. Gathers: Ohh, that poor woman has the saddest tits. Damn depressing.
Brock: Right? Yeah, they're like The Notebook sad.
Col. Gathers: Her tits are like "coming home from school and finding out that your old man ran over cat" sad.
Brock: Mournful. She has mournful tits. They're like two suicide notes stuffed in a glitter bra.
Col. Gathers: Those things are like a little kid with progeria cracking all his ribs trying to catch a Nerf ball—just sad. Damn it, she has gloomy tits!
Brock: It's like she put a dollar's worth of change into some old socks and then taped them to her chest.
Col. Gathers: I want to build two little caskets and give her tits a tasteful, dignified funeral.

I shall have to see this. I remember the Brock Sampson character. So he's gone now?
My fave is still Superjail.

No, he's still on there, he just works for SPHINX now with Colonel Gathers and Shore Leave (imagine an ever gayer version of Ship Wreck from GIJOE).

I love this show so very,very much. Its one of those things that just seems designed for me and me alone. I was walking around work all day the following monday chuckling to myself about the "mournful tits" line....

I loved the way they kept the discussion going, but not in a bizarre, run-it-into-the-ground Family Guy way. It just came off as two guys flying a superscience aircraft, wearing Egyptian-themed uniform discussion the truly sad state of some stripper's tits.

isn't this show a spoof of the original Jonny Quest cartoon? I've never watched it because I'm a big fan of JQ, but I've heard its decent at least.

Well...it is and it isnt. While its DEFINITELY inspired by and rips on JQ,it also pokes fun at a ton of comics and cartoons. If you're any kind of a fanboy/fangirl who grew up in the 70's-80's....this show will probably appeal to you. As noted by the above mentioned stripper tits conversation,it can be a bit crude and unsettling at times,but always in a darkly funny way. If you want to get into it,I'd suggest picking up the first season on DVD...even though its a cartoon,it has an on-going storyline and tons of character development.
