I don't think it's cynicism. Doc is, and that's coded as a character flaw. I think VB is quite optimistic. People grow in incredibly positive and weirdly down-to-earth ways.

Servaetes posted:I dunno man, this Harley Quinn show seems like it's trying entirely too hard to be funny Guy A. Person posted:Humor is closer to something like Deadpool tho.  It's not a bad show by any means, but I think it only superficially resembles VB. Deadpool is more accurate. Hell, The Tick being common DNA even feels more accurate. But ultimately it feels most influenced by Batman: The Animated Series to me, which in addition to being the origin of Harley also had very broad, comedic episodes. That followed by the BTAS comics which expanded on that humorous tone and really played up the Harley and Ivy stuff, not to mention how it got into more explicit territory with their relationship. Those comics + swears basically feel like the HQ show in my book.

Maybe the biggest surprise of my adult tv-viewing life is discovering how extremely horny Bruce Timm is and wondering how almost none of that ended up in the Batman cartoon.

Remember in the big book both men agree animators are the horniest people on the planet and if you look into the history of the man behind Goofy of all characters yeah. 'No we wanted comedy nudity! not anatomy to scale guys!'

I'm not sure how much that is the animators/showrunners (it is some of that, obvs, what with the Bruce Timm and Zatanna thing) and how much it's to do with Cape comics just having sexual undertones that come with healthy/toned/muscley people in tight clothing. Huntress tries to phonesex The Question, there's most likely a number of other bits, but, yeah.

I mean, the very first thing that the Flash does in JL is say that he's the fastest man alive, where he is then rebuffed by Hawkgirl with some version of "I bet that makes you popular with the ladies." Less than an hour into the series!

Doesn't help that BTAS has probably the sexiest Batman. That's what all the best cartoons are, yes.

I think its mentioned in the books and on a commentary track that whenever Doc would draw Trianna he had to be actively telling himself to not make her sexy since that's what he defaulted to. I'm pretty sure he has mentioned off hand that when he isn't working on the Venture Brothers he gets paid to draw sexy women. Whether he defaulted to drawing women sexy because that's just what he naturally draws or because he got paid to do it for so long feels like a chicken or egg which came first argument.

I assume they talk about masturbation constantly since everytime a dvd comes out at least 1 episode's commentary track will be just masturbation talk. It truly is impressive how little they talk about the show during those things.

You should be able to find rips that include it as a language track.It's silly that buying them digitally on Amazon or iTunes doesn't give you the commentary.

Commentaries are a holdover from the days when distributors assumed nobody would shell out the money for another copy of something they already own on VHS unless they give them new content. They shouldn't loving be, but that's where we're at. Every streaming service could include them on every piece of content if they wanted, but they don't.

Normalcy colliding with the batshit supervillain world is some of the best jokes of Venture Bros at times. Is kinda funny how we see nearly all these characters as the massive losers, weirdos and burnouts that they are, but also from the outside they do look cool and badass a lot of the time. Also I think there's a running gag that whenever nerds get involved in super-science/supervillainy stuff they always go straight off the deep end right away, even before 21 spelled it out in the Halloween special.

Yeah, I always forget about it as I don't tend to rewatch that episode much but the whole subplot in Perchance to Dean with the sheriff and the delivery guy teaming up to investigate the Venture compound and becoming convinced that Doc is running some kind of cult there is great stuff; Made even better due to the fact at that point in the timeline there actually HAD been a secret cult lurking in the compound the whole time until recently due to all the MUTHER shenanigans going on.

I was watching For All Mankind and I heard a familiar voice. There was the good James Urbianak playing a dickhead FBI agent. Glad to see he is getting gigs even though they are only minor parts.

I just got a cameo by James Urbaniak for my friend's birthday! He mentioned at the end that the special should be out about a year from now. The cameo was also amazing and incredibly worth the $35. I'll share the link after I surprise them with it later!

I’d post it, but don’t want to doxx my friend since he says his full name  . That James Urbaniak is a good egg.Also, I know it’s not VB related, but I discovered Smiling Friends last night and I was hooked in minutes.
