Dead and probably staying that way:
Scamp
Speedy
That football player Brock killed
Wonder Boy #3? (the one the Monarch killed, I mean)
Major Thom
Edgar Allen Poe
Manservant
The Grand Galactic Inquisitor
The Mighty Manotaur
Molotov's dad
Nien Nunb
All those Old Sphinx guys
Mommy Long-Legs (and a few some other 13ers I'm forgetting)
Cardholder and Doe
All those random rear end OSI dorks Molotov killed
The investors
The pteranadon and crab monster Hank killed
Boggles the Clue Clown
Doc's therapist
The fallout shelter cargo cult

Deadish:
Torrid?
Guardo
The Perfict Man????
Wisdom, Lady Nightshade, and Chuck
The Sovereign (probably not David Bowie though)

Got Better:
Hank and Dean
Girl Hitler, Manic 8-ball, and Catclops
The reanimated hippies
Col. Venture (we were supposed to think Sandau killed him, but he didn't)
Ghost Robot (shouldn't have been too surprising, really)
The kid the gorilla killed (well...)
A couple of the fake ghost pirates

Plus lots of henchmen, foot soldiers, interns and other expendable underlings, but they don't count if they don't have a name.

I'm sure there's still more we're forgetting. This show has so many characters.

E: Oh, and the Moppets probably ain't coming back.

The Action Man is so not-dead that he's the guy who buried Dr. Entmann. And then pissed on him.

King Gorilla's dead too.

Also Orpheus told Action man he had two years until he died of a stroke in the first season.

Dr Venture destroying Venture Industries one bit at a time would be a great arc for the season. Especially if every time it gets bandaided only to all fall apart spectacularly in the finale.

When the missile launched, that almost certainly incinerated anyone down there. Or most of them, at least.

I agree. When Doc is talking to White about them, he's using the past tense, and I always took that to mean that they were blah blah blah, but they are now ash.

Exactly! We don't even know if the three deadest people on the show (Jonas Venture, Monarch's Dad, and Monarch's Mom) are actually dead.

Here's a list of people we know died:

Phantom Limb (never spoken, but there were literally pieces of him all over Cremation Creek, so it made sense)

Who else died on or nearly on screen? A good third of the people that died, turns out, weren't dead.

I see 44 new posts in the thread, get excited because I think it might have some news about Season 6, and then:

I didn't see an endless pile. It's likely they gave her one, to watch over and over and over and over again....

(Leave it to the Venture Bros. to make the viewer feel sorry for a maniacal artificial intelligence whose first response to being denied something that's impossible is to start World War III.)

Does anyone have a good shot of St Cloud's house with all his collection? We're making fun of Ernest Cline again and I said he probably lives in a place like that, because his life is completely empty other than 80s pop culture.

You should feel ashamed.
He's an author whose books are a thin frame upon which he heaps nothing but '80's references. No paragraph is complete without fifty percent of it being completely obvious and spelled out references. Especially if it seems dubious that the characters in question based on when they were born would even give half a poo poo about the 80's.

His books are an effort to complete the following question "How can I make kids today care about 80s poo poo I care about?". Presenting them a world where everythings high tech but the problems can only be solved by 80s pop culture references. He also presents the most dad rock middle of the road music has the heavist poo poo ever. In his second book, he describes the beat of Another one bites the dust as a "machine gun". Plus his references are shallow as hell. He never references anything that anyone aware of nerd stuff wouldn't be aware of already. Wow someone wished him "may the force be with you", wow that's such a deep and edgy reference! Basically, its the opposite of the Venture Bros, where references feel organic, and also work even if you don't know what they are about. Or they are something that character would say.
