I kinda thought the bondage thing was because he had an earlier conversation with Wide Whale about his ex who was super into bondage and WW being shocked by it "Really? Angie?" and then him getting worried that she might be "into that sort of thing" too.

Maybe he's overly protective of her because he got the old "If anything happens to her, it's on your head" speech from WW? but it could be that he's just a creep lol

What? He freaked out because he was worried she would tell Wide Wale that he tied her to the bed right after the Angie conversation and Wide Wale might think Rocco was banging Sirena.

Exploration is ill-advised.
Jared looking older might be a meta-joke on how Marvel is constantly reverting Peter Parker to be a loser teenager to maintain the status quo with Aunt May and his on-off girlfriend, despite that it's pretty perfect for a young person in NYC to be stuck living with their parental figures well into their twenties nowadays because of crippling lack of opportunity and unaffordable housing.

He doesn't sexualize her at all, people are just weird perverts about things they like and when they don't get the reference to an archetype they fill in the blanks with poo poo like this.

Didn't someone say that the book confirms that he has a creepy thing for her?

I mean, aside from it being clear in the show anyways.

Rocco gets that he can’t survive treating Sirena with disrespect, but he doesn’t actually have any programming for treating a woman with respect.

We know Sheila was number 2 for Truckules, as just mentioend a few posts ago, but I forget, were we ever told what her name was when she did?
Lady Au Pair > ??? > Queen Etherea (Ethereia?) > Dr. Girlfriend > Dr. Mrs. the Monarch

I love every single stupid pun name on this show, so yeah, kind of curious.

My assumption is that she was #2 for Truckules first, then tried to go solo as Lady Au Pair and failed, and Limb took her on as #2 after.

Their names are Buddy Holly and the Big Bopper, and they had a Paul Anka song inflicted upon them.

Funny thing is there is precedent for Guild members arching random celebrities, sometimes fatally.

I only have excellent ideas
I don't like Hunter Gathers or Treister or any of the OSI guys except Shore Leave really. I just don't think that kind of macho bluster type of character generates the kind of joke I'm going to find funny. I like Brock and I like Vatred because there's more there but "army guy" doesn't quite do it for me, even with the very thin additional broth of "he's the Hulk" and/or "extremely mid-aughts trans-panic jokes."

I will admit that I do love St. Cloud although I remember finding his design really funny way back before he even had any lines. I think the bowlcut and shades and Penguin nose carry a lot of weight in shouldering his air of somewhat shoddy, ultra-laconic rich dweeb, and his voice is perfect for it.

I've learned that the only reason I feel like I'm getting most of the references in Venture Bros is because the ones I don't get, I don't even realize there was a reference there that I'm missing. Also, this show tends to compound the references, so I'll often spot that something is obviously a reference to one thing I know, without realizing that a reference to that plus two other things, all mashed together.

It's not so much St. Cloud himself, but being pro-St. Cloud and neutral on the moppets at the same time is evidence of a severe personality disorder.
