Go, Team Venture

Shot WW II this morning. While I drink, a medley of Venture Bros. music from its creator, JG Thirwell.

In the comments, your favorite Venture Brothers moments.

For me, it's Brock crashing backwards through the windshield of a speeding car.

  1. "Give me the Hand of Osiris, or I will kill your two boys" says the Egyptian themed baddie.

    "Give me head" says Dr. Venture.

    "...You did not just say that"

    I was trying to think of my favorite moment and there are so many. I'll go with last season's favorite which was Hank's video to his memory-wiped self telling him he got laid.

  4. The fourth season finale, but a little later than Sarah W's pick (although that was great): Brock desperately charging back to the compound to save everyone, finding a happy prom full of dancers - - but my *favorite* moment is the moment of his unholy glee and relief as the prom changes into a creature attack and he resumes his charge into the fray. It's the sheer relief he shows at seeing an incipient bloodbath with his friends in danger, because in this situation, he knows what to do.

  5. "It feels like somebody with a fever is yelling at my pants!"

    "Victor. Echo. November." Perhaps The Venture Brothers' finest half-hour.

  6. "IGNORE ME!"

    Either that or "You mess with the girl, you get the HITLER!"

  7. The running gag about what a Rusty Venture is during Operation:PROM.

    Or:

    Anything Shore-Leave says, ever.

  8. Pretty much all of "The Invisible Hand of Fate," but especially the closing montage, as cactus flowers bloom. And Dean's rare (and all-too-soon reversed) moment of maturity and victory when Triana leaves for magic training school.

    ReplyDelete
  9. The Brown Widow singing to Dr. Venture's composing songs for "Rusty The Musical", saying that he was in "The Sound Of Music". Really funny for an old fan like me, since Nicholas Hammond was in "The Sound Of Music" as well as the title role in the CBS Spider-Man series of the 70s.

  10. For me, what's so great about your Brock moment pick is that it looks like he's doing Tai Chi right before, but his pose has yet another payoff.

    Hard to pick one. I love The Monarch and Dr. Girlfriend. Victor-Echo-November is one of my favorite episodes.

    For a moment.... when 24 looks at 21's collection of weapons (i.e., toys and collectibles) as they hope to retake the Cocoon from the street thugs and 21 corrects his grammar. The Monarch saying, "Are these they?"

  12. Nothing can top the fate of Speedy, who was this close from getting his wings too. And during Brock's revenge afterwards, when the screen goes red from his anger... oh, wait, windshield wipers, that was just blood.

  13. Oh, man. Hard call.

    It's hard to say which I enjoy more:

    Moments where a character shows a brief flicker of sanity and self-realization, or . . .

    . . . those many moments of exquisite, squirm-inducing failure.

    Guilty, guilty pleasure:

    (Really, I wrote and erased this and then wrote it again.)

    Dr. Orpheus getting relationship advice from his mentor, temporarily embodied as Cerberus, who is . . . uh . . . taking full advantage of having three heads.

    ReplyDelete
  14. I have a sentimental attachment to the first great scene I saw in the very first episode.

    Dr. Venture wakes up in a bathtub of ice with the legendary note taped to him: "We have removed your kidney. Seek medical assistance immediately."

    'Oh no, not again. Wait, 1...2... uh oh.'

    Laughed so hard and thought, wow, what show is this, it's great. So grateful that I happened upon it early.

    Best moment is everything with Dr. Orpheus, but especially the episode where he comes to terms with the Outrider ("The Better Man").

    Also, every single moment of "Twenty Years to Midnight" (the "IGNORE ME!" episode).

    Also, 21's realization that the ghost of 24 was probably entirely in his mind, and 24 is really gone. Anyone who's lost or is losing a loved one holds on to those little desperate unrealistic hopes, and as we let go of them one by one ... yeah, I feel ya, 21.

    And the other single best moment of all is every moment where the characters grow a little. Originally the show was about failure as a major theme, but in the last season or so, they've visibly changed gears and it's about characters deciding to grow.

    My least favorite moment: every single moment with Sgt Hatred. Weak concept, weak execution.

  16. That a trick question? Every moment with Brock is my favorite moment.

    Here's the real question, Batman vs Brock? I know Batman is always prepared and all, but, seriously, it's Brock.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Anonymous6:53 PM

    Batman vs. Brock? It's still Batman. Allow me to nerdily elaborate:

    - There's no way to do Brock in the real DC universe and still have him be Brock. But it would be possible to do Batman in the Venture Bros universe, so the battle has to take place there, on VB terms.

    - Therefore, Brock cannot lose in a straight physical battle. The laws of the VB universe are pretty much immutable on this point.

    - That said, Batman isn't just a straight physical fighter; Batman knows enough to use persuasion, coercion, or whatever other strategy will allow him to win. We haven't specified why Batman and Brock are fighting, but whatever the reason, Batman can almost certainly leverage some characteristic of Brock's (sense of decency, loyalty to friends, not wanting to be manipulated by a third party, etc.) to get him to do what he wants. And that is victory, friends. That is victory.

  19. Mine is actually a musical cue. The awesome, over-the-top cue whenever Dr. Orpheus is around.

  20. One of the creators said in an interview that Orpheus -- my favorite all-around character -- was probably the only truly decent person on the show. An immense dweeb, secretly insecure . . . but he occasionally does scary stuff like imprisoning the souls of two rednecks in a (saltshaker, was it?).

  21. "It smells like a Bible story in here!"

  22. Brock: You could have told me Sasquatch was a dude before you had me shave him.

    Steve Austin: What? Sasquatch aint got nothing you haven't seen before.

    Brock: Sasquatch *is* something I haven't seen before!!!

    I gotta say that of SO SO MANY, the best was 21 realizing that 24 was probably entirely a figment of his imagination. Not only was this a devastating moment on its own, the way it came about was brilliant: it comes crashing down because 21 has mis-remembered a bit of pop culture ephemera, namely the name of the guy "in that Arrested Development video". It's not only funny and sad at the same time, it's the perfect essence of his character. Beautiful.

  28. Trial of the Monarch is my favorite...At the beginning when he is talking about Dean "I let it go when Dean said he could read Sanskrit...and then when Hank said "Oh I want a piece of him!"..But Mecha Shiva!!..No Way!! They are SO LYING!" (the finger waves just punctuate it so beautifully) Yes..yes I have watched it 25 times...LOL

  29. Or when the thugs take the cocoon....and 24 is looking at 21's (or vice versa??) collection of toys with which to fight the thugs..he says.."We're gonna get our asses kicked....We didn't have a breakfast"

    Penyakit ini umumnya muncul karena penderita mengejan terlalu keras pada saat buang air besar. Dengan mengejan terlalu keras, maka pembuluh darah di sekitar anus dapat melebar dan pecah menimbulkan infeksi dan pembengkakan yang berakhir pada masalah wasir atau ambeien tersebut.
