Those of us that were there on day 1 are immune to conceptualizing the wait between seasons.

That was back in the era of 29 shows that had one episode never to be seen again.

Although most were pretty awful so it worked out for us.

gently caress you groovenians

And now I just had a traumatic flashback to the Ripping Friends.

Ripping friend's wasnt THAT bad...if you were like, 10 which I was at the time, I haven't tried watching it again but I'm sure I'd consider it crap now

edit-

So my hypothesis was true, ripping friends is infact crap when your older then like 10.

Yeah I was like 22 when that aired so

I Know we follow comic book rules and someone is only dead if you see a body, and even then sometimes it doesn't matter.

But I'm pretty sure we saw the last of King Gorilla :smith:

Guys, remember how the Venture Brothers handles loose plot threads that people keep asking about.

"Sandow! Ya broke it!"

"She started hanging out with the preppies and is now in rehab somewhere in Florida."

They always intended to have the Orb be broken. When it shows Sandow "kill" Colonel Venture, the sound effect is breaking glass.

Other animated shows are like going to Ikea and buying a new chair.

Billy was outright wrong.

St Cloud was wrong in that he said they SAID Nomad was a robot in the episode (which they don't). However, an autonomous space probe is a robot.

Pilot totally counts. They even mentioned Scamp in season 4.

The only 'meh' episode of VB is probably the Dr. Quymn episode.

You should see if the same people get The Alchemist's "I'm very excited about this plan" when he has the minigun strapped to his chest, since I thought those two were about equally obvious.

I don't think Rusty has a mother in the first place.

The show's title, 'Venture Brothers' has always referred to Rusty and the Monarch. Dun dun duuuun.*

*Edit: This is what conspiracy theorists actually believe.

The boys aren't clones and they're dead now, so its the Venture Bros: Rusty and Jonas Jr.

Monarch, of course, knows who Jonas was.

He asked the Council of 13 if they knew who killed him, after all.

I'm still stunned that they made an F/X 2 reference. I've never met anyone that's even heard of it, aside from the people I was with when I saw it.

Somehow I saw it in the theater. I was...nine, I think.
