‘Kid!! Seriously!! Are You For Real??’ The Buddy System!! THE VENTURE BROS. 3.5!!
SPOILER ALERT !!
I am – Hercules!!
Every episode of “The Venture Bros.’” third season seems to pack a reveal or two regarding a major character; this week we learn a little something about Brock Samson.
Also? Dean goes postal in front of Triana Orpheus.
Watch all of this week’s episode here (except maybe the third reel, which keeps freezing up and denying me two minutes and 41 seconds of fun) or wait until 11:30 p.m. and watch it on The Cartoon Network.
Combat The Toaster Menace!!
Buy Colonial Savings Bonds!!

Venture Bros rocks - A live action movie would be the shit!

Really funny.
-
these people to do these things? Sgt. Hatred is great by the way.
-
... will be Rusty's Science Day Camp. Really going out on a limb there, I know. Best part of this ep was the moppets and Dr. Mrs. Monarch's outfit. Rrrrow !
-
with cheesy orange t-shirts over the tops of their costumes. And the continuing weirdness of Jonny Quest and the return of "Doctor Z." "Can I drop scorpions on him?"And Hank's line about Don - "He's never seen another teenage boy." And the Monarch's continuing obsession with Venture. And Doctor Monarch's Wife's new costume.And the fact that I can watch this on line, since I only have basic cable.And the mother hidden in shadows - I actually can't wait to find out if she's somebody we've seen or just someone he met.And the fact that unlike most large ensemble live action shows, this has a huge cast and none of the characters look alike or are hard to tell apart - every single character is clearly defined and quite distinctive.
-
This episode is wonderful and all of the stuff with Brock and Dermot is absolute gold, with a wonderful reveal (which will lead to even better stuff down the road).
-
Brock's inability to deal with and understand basic childhood bragging and juvenility is maybe one of the funniest things the show has done. He gets so fucking irritated!
-
but I would NOT hold it past the guys to make this another red herring--remember, Sheila's reveal in this season's opener is nothing at all what you thought it might be from Season 2's cliffhanger. I would find it interesting if the kid turned out to be another of Rusty's (which would really throw a loop into Hank and Dean's already perplexing life), Billy Quizboy (just because he's been supposedly established as a virgin) or The Alchemist (for obvious reasons). But even IF the Kid turns out to be Brock's I can't complain. I just love the ever expanding scope of this season.

Further reason why I think it may not be Brock
by shut the fuck up donny
is because this reveal was done with an episode where almost every major character (including Peter White at the end) was in proximity with each other and Dermot. It just screams "A-HA, you think it's Brock, but remember so-and-so was there too...." It's a perfect vehicle for ambiguity.
-
Maybe that could even have been her reveal to the Monarch. I doubt this is the case, but it's possible maybe. Good observation about many characters being in proximity at the end. I only think it's Brock just because the chemistry between Dermot and Brock was so, so good.
-
When Dean jumped on whatsis name? (Dermot?) Dean is Peter Parker (pre-powers) and probably the avatar for 80 % of AICN readers at 16. Love seeing him get some licks in even if its not so realistic. This show is like funnel cake and free beer at a big outdoor concert where Bob Dylan, Nirvana, Tom Waits, and Bill Hicks are all playing on the same bill.
-
you got some good taste in music
-
that concert would literally be the greatest thing to ever happen on earth. venture bros. is maybe just half a step below that on the greatness scale.
-
He will get the girl.
-
Best VB this season.
Johnny Quest being a regular is awesome.
-
I'm thinking that the line from Venture to Brock "Just wait until you have kids of your own" I didn't catch it when I watched it online, but it kind of jumped out at me just now, kind of a foreshadowing.
-
It's the two dots over an "O" that you sometimes see in European words. I'm sure someone with a better understanding of language could further inform you. The reason it's a joke is because in order to type an umlat, you have to hit a key combination on most keyboards.
-
I know that Publick said that the shows are usually aired out of order, so I'm thinking this one definitely is. Only because Triana seemed awfully girlfriend-y with Dean and I don't recall her ever committing to that stance. She seemed to be ramping up to it in the second season, but I didn't think she was quite there yet. Which bothers me, but makes me VERY hopeful that we'll see a "Dean gets the girl" episode...
-
I'm pretty sure he's Brock's kid, but what I would love to see, in a "holy crap that's impossible but hilarious" way, is for the kid to be Hank's. Don't ask how that would happen because I don't know, but I'm sure the hilarity would ensue.
-
Could he be a grown up Hank clone? He could have survived what Rusty though was a fatal accident.
-
I HATE when shows know they're going to do a kid storyline so they have some awkward line earlier in the episode that's supposed to be foreshadowing, whereas it was probably added to the script once it was finished. This works a lot better when it's said an episode or two beforehand, and that's typically the route Venture Bros. takes.
-
the way they talk there manorisms.
-
why hasn't this cartoon been turned into a live action film yet? Then again, how long did it take to get a Simpsons movie?
-
I am in the dark here. Crap! I fell in love with this show when the first season box set came out and I was like, awesome box art, then the 2nd season dropped and the dvd case was even more spectacular, of course the stuff inside is just about the best shit ever, especially when baked and watchign it with people who not only get it, but are smart enough to follow along. Damn fine show. This and Samurai Jack are the 2 best post 20th centure toons!
-
Are you stoned now or something?
-
Where can I find other quotes by Dr. Zin?
-
I think you mean "Dr. Mrs. The Monarch."
-
...at least a make-out session.
-
I did not even realize that til now. I thought just another bastard Venture kid with crazy bodyguard chick. I smell another prequel ep showing how that came about.
-
Sgt Hatred....The Army motif on the jacket...They even have similar facial features! Maybe this will set up some sappy reunion later on. OR Doc Hammer and Jackson Publick are just jerking us aroiund and he IS Brock's son...god damn it.
-
Could that be the mysterious "Leslie" that Torayama was stalking and obsessing over in college? And that Brock was rather savagely boning?
-
Only a North-Easter would "get it", IMHO.
-
I was totally going to post that the mother was Leslie Cohen. The joke with Mike Sorayama being infatuated with her; the guy who voiced him played the creepy asian dude in Fargo and was asked to reprise his role.
-
is becoming my favorite new character this season. Seeing him surrounded by the kids was hilarious.Notice the Adult Swim bump asking for best cartoon voice over actor? Saw Mel Blanc, Mark Hamill, James Urbaniak...I'd add Billy West and special mention to Patrick Warburton. Oh, and Phil Hartman's work on The Simpsons, esp. the monorail episode.
-
Remember the facts: Rusty had the kids around the age of 24(after both he and Brock left college for their reasons). Its been 19 years since the boys were originally born, so anyone before Myra is not likely the mother. My bet is Brock likely being his dad(the segment where Brock argued with him along with other character traits leads this theory). We might also meet Sheilas father this season.
-
He is original Hank, without genetic tampering, and a few years older me thinks. But the size thing support Brock or Hatred. Cool show.
-
My first reaction was that Hank is the father.
-
"I'm just pulling a Moses on some shrubs, it's rock bottom henching"
Sgt. Hated. The laughs just keep on coming. -

by billyeveryteen
Good lord, this is some great shit.Hank being the Dad, somehow is just perfect.
-
I almost puked on myself, I laughed so hard. Oh...and Dr. Mrs. The Monarch...the closest I've ever come to rubbing one out to a cartoon.
-
If I had been drinking anything when dean snapped it would have so come out of my nose.This one and the one from two weeks ago is so far a tie for best this season to me.I hope adultswim.com isn't going to start taking minutes out of the online showings cause thats going to really piss me off.
-
only saddens me more, considering Adult Swim showed that last week's VB only got 800k viewers while a re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-rerun of Family Guy got 1.3 million. Mind you, that doesn't include a lot of people who watched it on the Fix Friday night (which I believe they're keeping track of also), but it still angers me how many people are STILL not looking into this show. And yes, Wyvern, this has been the best episode of the season so far. Doc and Jackson's writing talents are clear with their deft ability to handle such a large ensemble of characters in one scenario.
-
"Hey Monarch. Can you call these little idiots home before I throw 'em there?"
Gold, just gold. -
I always had the theory that Hank was Brock's kid and Dean was Rusty's. Guess that was put to rest last night.
Anyone else think we're going to get an episode of The Rusty Venture Show some day? -
any show w/Hunter S. Thompson and Johnny Quest deserves a viewing.Never watched it before.I've gotten great recommendations from aicn recently,so,I'm gonna give it a shot.I assume I need to start w/season 1 and not just jump in now,right?
-
There is some linearity in season 1 with an unexpected season ender. And you really gotta watch season 2 in order. Pick up those DVD sets. you will NOT be dissappointed
-
Thanks...might take a week or two.Like I said, I've not been dissapointed w/any previous aicn recommendations,so,I'm looking forward to watchin'...
-
sounds like you are already committed, and I salute you for it. But to further encourage ou, the guys have been establishing a fairly thorough mythos throughout the first two seasons--some of which seems to be accumulating to something big this season. In order to appreciate this show on a larger scale, you need to see the first two seasons. The real upside is that there's not a LOT or episodes to get bogged down in, and they move pretty quickly. You could probably catch up on the show in one weekend--and what a weekend it would be! However you don't have to be an episode nazi to appreciate the show.
-
that I laughed out loud at the nozzle clip w/out ever having seen the show? The village people protecting our country...wtf? Get the feeling I'm really gonna like this.
-
billy. The shoe they used to clone the kid who was killed by the gorilla was billys shoe. Dr venture said his dna was a mess so maybe we'll have a "days of future past" moment with billys corrected clone.
-
That child is a spinning murder top! Are you sure he is your son?
I also loved the picture afterwards of Hank putting Quiz-Boy's hand in the warm water. Just brilliant. And the kid has to be Brock's kid. It explains why he's so much bigger than the other kids. His friendship with Hank will be like Rusty and Brock, the next generation. Amazing show. -
I wonder when Hank will finally come out of the closet lol
-
Was awesome this episode. His lame jokes and his idolization of Brock Jr. killed me. Great work for both of the Venture boys this episode. And, say what you want, but a Venture beat the hell out of a Sampson.
-
Awesome.
-
It's Billy Quizboy's kid. Look at the facial features, and the way they talk. It's gotta be him.
-
Murderous moppets rule!
