AGirlWonder posted:I don't know if anyone's brought it up specifically, but General Treister's nicknames for everyone in Any Which Way But Zeus crack me up. That whole scene is Treister gold. WARNING! I am TIRSTY! It is fruitpunch, and it is Delicious! I think my favourite moments are just whenever The Monarch is just being a normal guy, just talking normally with someone, usually Dr. Mrs. The Monarch or 21. Just because it's rare to see villains be not villains. Oh, and Shoreleave talking about that Schumpmaker guy's last name. Shoreleave is great. A few days ago I watched an earlier episode, and it started off with the Monarch storming his own accountancy firm by accident. He was still impressed with the results and demanded a 'Quicktime' of the attack on his website by noon. That season was a long time ago.

I have waaaay too many personal favourite bits for this show, But Monstroso constantly offering a cigar to the The Monarch during their first official business meeting always cracks me up.

I think my favorite moment is still this interaction during The Trial of the Monarch: Brock Samson: No, Dean. This is guild business, your father isn't in any harm. Guild works clean, professional, and surgical. In a way, they're the only organization I still respect. Hank Venture: And they kill clean! Don't let dames get in the way! Brock Samson: Honestly, Hank, where do you pick that stuff up? I never see you read! Dean Venture: It's weird, right? Brock Samson: It's like he channels dead crazy people! Hank Venture: Do you think it's a cry for help?

The only decent part of Guess Who's Coming to State Dinner? Lincoln's Ghost: (knocks over a tiny statue of himself) Damnation! Forcefield, I didn't see that one coming! Sorry, Dean. Okay, okay! New plan... Hank: (points at statue) Well, you just KO'd Uncle Sam! Why can't you just do that to an astronaut and his mom? Lincoln's Ghost: That's not Uncle Sam, it's me! Wouldn't lay a glove on it if it weren't. I can only move things in the material world that bear my image. Wait! That penny in your pocket, Dean! I was able to get that through the forcefield! That's it! Hank: We build a gun made out of pennies! Lincoln's Ghost: Exactly! Wait, no, that's insane! But I have another idea! Boys, I need five dollar bills. Scores of them, 10 score at least! Dean: How are we gonna find that many. Hank: How, how. What are you, an owl? He can make it with his magic! Ghost of Abraham Lincoln: For the last time, Hank, I'm a ghost, not a genie. You two must find a way! Hank: Wait, does it matter if it's the new fives or the old ones. Lincoln's Ghost: I... prefer the new ones? But, whatever! Go! Go!!

Guess Who's Coming To State Dinner might not be one of the best Venture Bros. episodes, but club soda being the solution to the unbreakable forcefield will always be funny to me. "A little club soda fix just about anything."

Having Dean getting ready to box an orangutan is one of the best things Venture Bros. has ever done. Dean: Brock, isn't this like the saddest thing ever? And then Hank, to the orangutan: Hey, Clyde, BANG! And then the orangutan goes, uh, apeshit on Hank.

Ugh, as much as I love Dean's development, he's starting to get a tad insufferable in certain areas. Then again, I kinda admit that I'm starting to get rather defensive over Hatred. It's sweet how he really cares for the boys. And it's also hilarious when an ex pedophile is the better parent than their actual father.

I don't dislike the character, but I see what JetsGuy is getting at. Some of her HEY BROCK WANNA GO FOR A SKINNY DIP BACK OFF PERV I HATE MEN seemed a little forced. I do really like that episode, though. As for Guess Who's Coming to State Dinner? it's weird. I always enjoy it while I'm watching it, but I never have the urge to watch it when I'm not already. I think it's just kind of slow in the middle, is all.

I always just saw that as her realizing that her and Brock were perfect for each other but preferring to mess with him instead. Edit: maybe with some insecurities as well. I tend to just assume that every Venture Bros character is a half mile deep.

You want him to be insufferable. He is brooding, goth, and no friends but at the same time making progress with science on his own. The bit with Hatred just sets up the failure of Doc as a parent because he never cared about the kids at all.

I really enjoy how the boys have developed competence in their own way, mainly by rebelling against their failure of a father. Hank has shown several times that he has a knack for combat and even detective work when his conscious mind isn't getting in the way. Dean has slowly withdrawn but quietly became good at science despite Doc's attempts to get him to do things his way. I want them to retain their goofy qualities, but it's nice to see the growth.

I am sure some lived for a while and developed their own personalities or are these ones different since they have lasted longer then all the others?

I thought rusty tired to remake himself in dean by having him inroll in State univeristy. Also had him wearing speed suits. I thought Dean rold doc in the New York Episode he wanted to be a reporter or something. Hank's competence was something to effect of him rejecting school and wanting to be a badass like Brock. So its not surprising he is getting better at combat stuff.
