So I'm finally catching the special (they hid it under "as specials" on the onDemand menu) and were there a ton of Navy ads during the original airing? I keep expecting to see a live action Shoreleave in the crowd.

Didn't Manstrong come to Gargantua 1 a a small child? I thought I remembered him having been there basically all his life.

I was watching some of the Adult Swim: Supercuts on YT last night (they're awesome and there's a shitload of them like NUTSHOTS: The Supercut of all the dick punches in series) and there was a scene with Billy and White at Conjectural Tech talking about "their investors" and Billy puts on a neckbrace as armor. They never come on camera. Maybe I had a stroke or something but I have forgotten so loving much about this show it hurts.

Wasn't that the episode where Billy fixes up Monstrosos heart? They were already established at that point.

The first one Billy and White talk about their investors and getting some seed money for Conjectural Technologies, then hatred and Venture borrow it to pay Dean's ransom. Then in another episode The Investors take King Gorillas heart, and get Billy to implant it, and he just assumes they're vampires.

All we see or hear about their investors in the former is them dancing around happy to have the money and the name on the check "General Consolidated Insurance." Handsome Ransom.

This reminds me: Dr. Orpheus is fairly powerful, but Killinger just laughed him off, and left him almost comatose on the floor. "Your powers are useless against me, you silly-billy." And Killinger and The Investors even refer to everyone else as mortals - so Killinger is whatever The Investors are, but he's clearly stronger than they are.

A spinoff on the magical side of Venture world would definitely be worth watching. Even if the main cast wasn't The Order of the Triad.

They weren't even fighting in that scene, Orpheus was just trying to read his aura. I really hope none of the cast ever come into direct conflict with him because because he's pretty much been set up as the most powerful creature in the entire show now, Brock was out of his depth enough with The Investors

So did Doc's faulty ray shield give Junior cancer? Cause that's what I was thinking the moment they revealed he was dying.

I think JJ said the shield wasn't safe in atmosphere for some reason but implied it would be safe in space.

They had four arms stacked on top of each other. They would be incapable of operating the mechanism, which was two sets of arms side by side. You'd still need two seperate interns to work the reset.

LostRook posted:Nah, just stand in the middle and half-kneel. It'd work. This is the perfect reply for this thread. I keep giggling when I randomly think of the robot dog walking into walls. Also when I think of the "that is what a crazy person would say!" line. Really, I have no clue what the feeling of this thread is since I was trying to avoid spoilers, but I think it was well worth the wait. The one thing that sucked about the special is that it's far more fun watching Venture Bros with someone else, and I didn't have anyone to watch it with.  fake edit: Also the loving lollypop at the end...oh, and the monarch being all, "Yes, I finally get to be on the council!" "not you." I've gotta go watch it again. DoctorWhat posted:Wha... Who the hell is "Jacqueline Onassis"?

I think my favorite two lines anyone says ever are "What, I'm a supervillain" and "Now you're trying to make me out to be the bad guy? / Yes! I'm trying to make you a bad guy! We're both bad guys! We're professional bad guys! Ding, hello!" Also "So I hosed her, what of it?!"
