I love that the gay characters in venture bros are well characterized with unique identities and interests outside of just "being gay" while also being very outspoken about being gay.
Hey since Warner Bros. owns the rights to Johnny Quest and Adult Swim is owned by Warner Bros., does that mean that this is canonically what happens to Johnny Quest?
A sad thing about the death of DVD culture is audio commentaries. You used to be able to hear the cast of your favorite show reunite to record a commentary and one of them would be like "I'm eating Goldfish right now" and give no insight while an important scene played. It ruled.

Tryin to find the clip where Rusty finally gets the snake the monarch mailed him and it disintegrates “awww, June 6th 2003!? *sigh* I really gotta get my shit together.”
To this day I maintain that "It's powered by a FORSAKEN CHILD!?" is one of the all-time greatest line reads in acting history and Steven Rattazzi should receive a lifetime achievement award.
AdultSwim is returning to Netflix in the US for the first time since 2016!
We've learned that multiple seasons of THE VENTURE BROS. will release next month.
I love that Venture Bros has so many characters that one time, while writing an episode, Jackson had to call Doc in a panic to ask if Billy knew who the Monarch was.
I love that part of Dean's character development was gaining the confidence to talk back to the adults in his life who have always talked down to him / made fun of him for being sensitive or "effeminate."

DUDE YEAH when I found out that Nolan and Jonathan had a third brother IN PRISON it totally transformed my view of the Prestige, the script being a collaboration between the two of them.
evil robots are cool but what about nice robots. what about a robot who just loves you genuinely and is very kind and loving and the relationship is wholesome and cute. what about that
Venture Bros was adult swim's longest running series, and it didn't get to end on its own terms, leaving it forever incomplete. Now AS flails its corpse around every now and then to get views. Like wow another special premiere of the Venture movie? I fucking wonder why. 📈🤷🏼♂️
I love tiny character details like this. Billy has a mechanical hand but also performs complicated surgeries and therefore has to recalibrate his hand because that's a lot for a robotic hand to be able to do. Billy is one of the few characters who's equally hilarious and smart.
As a cyborg myself, it'd be cool to see more cyborg representation in animation. There's plenty of people out there with prosthetic parts 🦾 I want to introduce the cyborg high five🙌
Michael Sinterniklaas (now an extremely successful voice actor and voice director) described his experience working with Patrick Warburton for the first time as a huge learning experience. It taught him that in voice acting, the obvious choice isn't always the right one. +
I could post any one scene from Escape to the House of Mummies Part II and it would seem like I cherry picked an especially great moment of the Venture Bros. I can't believe how much they packed into a single episode.
A year ago today, I put my Venture Bros obsession on pause for just three hours to watch Oppenheimer only for RUSTY VENTURE to show up in the middle of it.

The best scene that's an example of this is when he's interrogating Dermot and his just FLOWS from the detective speech to normal Hank mid sentence.
The Invisible Hand of Fate wasn't well received when it first aired. Fans at the time didn't care much for Pete and Billy. This is surprising to me as it was always one of my favorite episodes. I love the lore-heavy ones, and how could you not love Pete and Billy!
I have always admired Doc and Jackson's willingness to draw inspiration from any and all sources. It's not just that they pulled from different parts of nerd culture. Doc took out a pen and paper because something on trash TV inspired/astounded him. These two are real artists.
The reason Venture Bros is a better superhero parody than others is not because "it loves superheroes" but because it loves so many other things that aren't superheroes.
I think this entire episode is the best example of Hank playing with language. He actually uses 1920s terms correctly while inadvertently spewing a bunch of double entendres. He's both a master roleplayer and oblivious. Doc Hammer wrote this episode in 2 days btw

"Ah for pete- for my sakes" You can hear him realizing it in the moment. Other characters are talking over him. The performance doesn't sound like someone reading a script. There's no pause for laughter or space given to the joke. Venture Bros is packed full of this stuff. Genius
I was rewatching the venture bros, and I noticed that in the episode past tense, during a flashback to rustys college years when they are playing dnd pete says "oh for my sakes" and I thought it was really cute.

Jonas Venture Jr. sold himself to the Investors to get ahead in life. This moment in Powerless in the Face of Death was probably a throw-away joke at the time, but it doubles as a subtle clue.
Venture Bros S02E01 (aired 2006) // All This and Gargantua-2 (aired 2015)
I know Doc said he forgot to write a joke about it, but the context that there was originally supposed to be a secret stairway behind the bookcase makes this moment so much funnier.
Just a reminder that Netflix picking up Venture Bros. is actually good news. I'm excited for the show to potentially reach new fans or at the very least remind old fans of its existence. Maybe some who never finished the series. Maybe one day we'll get more 🙏

Venture Bros trivia of the day
Doc Hammer wrote the script for "Everybody Comes to Hank's" in just TWO DAYS out of spite.
It was originally supposed to be HALF of the same episode as Bright Lights, Dean City
‼️Patrick Leger also did the poster/DVD art for the Venture Bros movie: Radiant is the Blood of the Baboon Heart‼️(Meant to include this in the thread)
