Sash! posted:I was there from the Terrible Secret of Turtle Bay and rode that Hulk all the way to the end. Same here. When a friend and I learned another friend had never seen it we showed it to him and he loved it. We would binge episodes and when the Season 2 finale hit we didn't immediately start Season 3. He was wondering why and we tried to explain to him how maddening it was that there was a 6(?) year gap with that cliffhanger but he only has to wait a few minutes to show him the tiniest taste of what it means to be a Venture Bros fan. I love Doc and Jackson but those mother fuckers take way too long to make new episodes even if the quality makes up for it.

Everybody who has the DVDs should do themselves a favor and listen to the commentary tracks. Doc and Jackson are insane people and will sometimes talk about the show in between talking about their day, masterbation habits as a child, or something that is only tangentially related ro the show. Edit: I'm pretty sure in the commentary Doc menrions how the scene with the Alchemist talking about wiping his rear end with cotton balls and getting one stuck to his nose actually happened ro Doc. limp_cheese fucked around with this message at 20:07 on Jul 24, 2021 |

bull3964 posted:It's not even just that, it's also the fact that these guys are the ONLY writers for the show. So it's not just that they remember the references, they know specifically why they made the reference to begin with are intimately aware of the whole cultural experience that caused the reference to exist in the first place. This does hit the nail on the head. One of my favorite lines is when the family is on the run from assassins and go to Hunter for advice. He has the line "You call parking a supersonice jet in front of a titty bar inconsipicuous?! Who taught you how to be a spy loving GALLAGHER?!" That Gallager reference slayed me and I hadn't thought of that guy in years. That line runs through my head anytime I see some stupid spy thing in anything. I'm pretty sure the Spanakopita episode came entirely from them thinking its a fun word ro say and yelling it at each other for months while at the Astrobase. These guys are immature children and its great.

Took a good while to lose it, but since it wasn't rapid, I've had a better time keeping it off. You can still do henchman 21 after losing the weight as long as you get the "Hench 4 Life" tatoo and say its after 24's death.

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.

Nilbop posted:I ... Treister's son was in the show? If I remember right it was supposed to be just a throwaway name they took from a neighbor one of them had as kids but as usual with this show they decided to make it into something bigger later. Unrelated but one of the things I love about this show is the on purpose plotholes. The big one I remember is Billy's hand and eye because even though they could have filled that in during early elisodes they felt they couldn't do it justice and waitied.

TK-42-1 posted:$300 hachi machi. I do t remember what I spent on the v bros shirts. It’d be nice if we could reorder some at some point. My extra color shirt is super faded. Same. My Spanakpopita shirt is faded and beat to hell but my Shallow Gravy and OSI shirts are still going strong even though I cut off the sleeves and wear them constantly. Would be nice to get a replacement or two. I don't wear the others anymore but I should cut off the sleeves and wear some of them too. I just can't wear them with sleeves because they were not designed with fit and muscular dudes in mind. Shocking, I know.

My favorite part of 24 dying was that season's commentary. I think it was Doc who would say at the start of every episode "24 dies at the end" because a fan had gotten angry at them at a con because they watched a season with the commentary before without and he was spoiled on some things. Also them laughing because people still didn't believe 24 was dead. poo poo like "Of course he's loving dead! We blew him up and had his flaming head fall in 21's lap! What more do you people need?!" God, I'll miss their episode commentaries the most.

I think all the ambient city noise in the background is great too. I'll always laugh when both the show and their own voices are drowned out by cars honking or just driving by. I think for Season 2 they didn't have any actual DVDs of their show to commentate on so they had to open a ceremonial DVD of some kind that had lovely or no audio in places and the video quality was poo poo. I think it might have also not had footage for the ending 10 minutes of an episode so they just talked about bullshit while staring at a black screen. This all sounds like parody and its great.

I love how they always seem surprised and like oh hey we need to do commentary? We'll we're doing this at 2AM and doing the whole season in one sitting because this is due in 8 hours. Then you get "This is from the future! We need to clarify this"

mutantIke posted:(S4E9) 21 is the coolest. Would easily watch a spinoff series where he goes on Haunted Guy Adventures or whatever 2 ton 21 really has the best arc in this series. From a disposable henchman to an incredibly competant #2. I guess I'll spoil this because i don't remember if you've seen this The scene where he is able to fight back against Brock was such a great moment for his character.

I wear the Shallow Gravy, OSI, and Spanakopita shirt on a regular basis. The Spanakopita one is the worse for wear since I wore it while volunteering at Habitat for Humanity. Otherwise the other 2 look great even after 100s of washes.
