The Venture Brothers - Season 3 - premiering June 1st on AS, Online NOW!

[ChairHome]

I've waited... so long.

Here (http://www.aintitcool.com/node/36552) are a couple clips that were shown at the NY Comic-Con.

It premieres tonight at 6pm (don't know what time zone) on adultswim.com (http://www.adultswim.com/)

Its up on the AS site (http://www.adultswim.com/video/?episodeID=8a25c3921a33e870011a35f406440069)!

[aLee]

i got pumped up for this ever since i saw the commercial on adult swim. I seriously can't wait because after season 2, i've been fiending for more venture brothers. I hope Brock gets his old haircut back, the new one in season 2 didnt cut it for me

Did you know:

For this year's April Fool's Day joke, Adult Swim aired some rough cuts of a lot of its popular shows, including Venture Bros. The VB creators did not know this was going to happen. What was shown was a 15 minute, straight-from-korea rough cut of the yet-to-be-aired 2nd episode of the new season. They were mad at first, but are okay with it now (according to one of the creator's, Jackson Publick, livejournal).

I missed it.

And any speculation to the "cliffhanger" of last season's finale? Dr. Girlfriend's revelation will be...?

Brock will finally find the scars he told Phantom Limb to check for.

Reminder (http://www.aintitcool.com/node/36917)! It will be up on adultswim.com on friday then on CN on Sunday.

The intro to the first episode of season 2 was fucking incredible.

[maxx]

good looks..this season looks the craziest yet.

GODLIKE!

[Monte]

it's gonna be online tomorrow, fuck yeah!

[KnuckIfYouBuckley]

Clips make Season 3 look too beastly. Especially the O.S.I. parody of the G.I. Joe cartoon intro.

Hopefully I get off work at a decent time tomorrow so I can see the premiere online.

[ChairHome]

They have a Venture Bros. Shirt of the Week club (http://www.astrobasego.com/). Damn you, you ingenius bastards.

The first week is a "Guild of Calamitous Intent" Shirt. $22 each, includes shipping. Limited to this week only, they'll stop selling them after this week.

And any speculation to the "cliffhanger" of last season's finale? Dr. Girlfriend's revelation will be...?

Obviously, Dr. Girlfriend is preggo and doesn't know who the father is.

[RagingStormX]

Brock>Everyone else. Ventures bros is an incredible cartoon.

[Gasaraki]

Fuck yes I'm really looking forward to more Orpheus antics.

These shirts are kind of expensive, but if you subscribe to them (http://www.astrobasego.com/subscribe.html) (for $250), you get 14 shirts, one of which is a bonus shirt that has Brock on it. Tempting. That is really expensive though, so I probably won't.

[maxx]

read some of the comments lol (http://jacksonpublick.livejournal.com/)

:rofl:

i just saw a comment left by a friend in it. haha.

[Wellman]

I'd love one of those shirts, but I am optimistic enough that they will eventually come to a sane price point.

If you divide it up, it'll be about $18 a shirt.

I have the money to drop on a subscription...I just might do it.

And I won't even be able to wear those shirts until sometime next year.

[ChairHome]

Its on the AS site now (http://www.adultswim.com/video/?episodeID=8a25c3921a33e870011a35f406440069)!

[Gasaraki]

Nice, does anyone know if they plan to show the entire season online? I don't have ready access to a cable TV at the moment =(

[ChairHome]

They should show the episodes early on Friday nights online like today. They did last season.

[Gasaraki]

Awesome. I'll buy the DVD set anyway, but it's nice to not have to wait for that like I had to with season 1 & 2

[Deathsythe]

Just caught it a little bit ago. The monarch as a henchman was great.

[ViciousSLASH]

Wasn't nearly as good as last years first episode.

EVERYBODY'S FREE!!

I don't need any more shirts, I have like a million fucking shirts, but I am tempted to blow 250 dollars for 13 venture brother T Shirts.

God I am such a waste of life. To imagine people in Africa are starving, too bad they weren't born white in America.

What a fucked up thing life is.

"He's david bowie" <--- Made me laugh

Quick Edit - Oh snap, you can just buy the T Shirts individually. Nioce. lol Shirt club.

[ramberk]

I'm really tempted to buy the shirts but... its a bit of money and I might end up not liking them or I might end up being paranoid and not wearing them. I'm better off making my own bootleg shirts. Lol.

[BBCampbell]

Thoughts on Venture Bros 3-1:
-----------------------------------------


- Jackson Publick, you FUCKING ASSHOLE!!! You tease us at the end of Season 2 with Dr. Girlfriend dropping a huge bombshell, make use wait 1.5 years, then DON'T EVEN TELL US WHAT SHE FUCKING SAID. Fuck you, you fucking asshole... (And I mean this in the kidding way. I'm not really mad, more amused than anything...)

- So, the entire episode, we see Brock, Dr. Venture and Myra, but none of them speak and the boys don't even show up... shrewd. (Then again, the boys weren't back in full-force until episode 2-2 either...)

- Lol @ the Murderous Moppets whooping the shit out of the entire Monarch phalanx of henchmen.

- Anyone know what song that adult swi--uh, I mean The Guild couldn't get the rights to?

- While I certainly enjoy the antics of The Monarch, Phantom Limb, Dr. Girlfriend (or is she Dr. Wife now?), et al., to quote The Monarch "WHERE IS HE? WHERE IS VENUTRE?"

- I certainly wouldn't want to be on Phantom Limb's sh**list...

[maxx]

lol its all about joseph and his amazing technicolor nightmare

[voodazz]

Wow. I guess the Phantom Limb really is that dense. Poor Manotaur.

[maxx]

i want that guild shirt...ugh.

[ShinkuuR]

This episode was great. Any ep that fleshes out Venture backstory=gold.

Maybe I missed something, but wasn't that Baby in regular size talking to Monarch at college? WTF happened to him? And damn, Phantom Limb is old as hell lol. Can't wait till next week's ep.

i think the most important thing is finding out the guild offed ventures dad. lol@not getting the rights to the sex song to rebroadcast.

"did you just use a swipe?!"

lol...video nerds everywhere loled.

[ViciousSLASH]

i want that guild shirt...ugh.

Then buy that shit, I am.

After watching the episode a second time, I stand by my initial thought.

It wasn't bad, but it wasn't an amazing episode either.

Young Monarch is always funny though. Phantom Limb looks like a pulp detective without his gay cowl on.

wasnt the phantom made around pulp detective times?...makes sense to me.

[ViciousSLASH]

The Phantom, The Spider, Doc Savage, The Spirit, The Shadow, all of those pulp guys were made back before super heroes were around.

And now I have no idea where I was going with this.

Let me just restate that I thought Phantom Limb looked cool.

oh u were tryin to say he looked cool lol.

just what kinda college did all those guys go to?

[ramberk]

I think the "we couldn't afford to license the song" bit in this episode was a joke referring to the money spent on licensing that other song on the Season 2 premiere. Supposedly a lot of money was spent licensing that one song.

One thing I didn't like was that there was no scene depicting the Monarch and Dr. Girlfriend getting their old rebuilt HQ. It was rebuilt and they suddenly seemingly got control of it again.

I loved the whole villains working together to help the Monarch get back on his feet bit.

Did the Moppets do anything to 24 or 21 for getting Brock's help?

I love the new Monarch vehicle. :grin:

Now we know who killed Venture Sr.!!!!!!!!!!!!

So we got the thirteen bosses and then the super boss right?

I love these flashback episodes. The college one was one of my favorites. I'm not that keen in tying the Monarch into Phantom Limb's army but it was not bad. I always thought the Monarch came up on his own as a villain. But its a good explanation for his motivation in becoming a villain.

Overall I loved the episode. The fact that it ties so many bits of history gives me hope that this season will have a more cohesive storyline. I want to learn more about the backstory and various groups in the VB universe.

lol i still love how david bowie is the head man. but didnt the monarch claim his parents were killed by butterflies n shit in season 1?

[Sanchez]

Nah, his parents died in a plane crash.

[BBCampbell]

I just can't get into this show. I've watched it a few times when there was nothing else on but to me besides anime most of what AS airs is pure crap. I do kinda like aqua teen but this Venture show is just bullshit. Sorry but that is the way I feel. I'm sure some others here hate it too. I can't be the only Venture hater.

Well, you are in this thread.

There are literally 1000s of threads here on SRK. Please find one of them.

If you ain't here to talk Venture, then we ain't talkin to you...


At least not in this thread...

I've highlighted some of the reasons you may not like this show.

Sure, some people can like all of these things, but Venture Bros. is far in the other direction of some of those.

[ramberk]

VB also relies on a lot of in-jokes. The show is basically a parody of retro-style adventure movies/cartoons. Actually its a parody of a lot of different pop culture elements. That's not to say that the show is one big joke. The characters are interesting and the dialogue is witty. But it's not for everyone.

Are you asking us why you should like the show? Lol.

[maxx]

Are you asking us why you should like the show? Lol.

seriously..if he doesnt like it by now...we're in season 3....shits not gonna change anytime soon.

[white shadow]

The Monarch actually looked pretty cool in his college days.

[Infernoman]

The Monarch actually looked pretty cool in his college days.

I liked his costume when he had his moment with Dr. Girlfriend. Also college Monarch looks like Roger Klotz.

A young Dr. Girlfriend...very yummy! also lol at Truckules :rofl:

[OmegaX]

New season looks pretty hyped. I thought they had a pretty good season opener. Hope they do some episodes on Baron Underbheit, from the season 2 commentary though it sounded like they were gonna cut him out, but he did get mentioned in the new episode. Guess I have to wait & see.

Oh and Murderous Moppets = Ownage.

[Gasaraki]

Shit, TRUCKULES! man I didn't realize that was his name, but that's awesome.

[Tanion]

*Spoiler I guess?*

That whole intiation thing with stripping them to their undies and attaching that snake thing had me in stitches. Seriously man wtf? I can't wait to see more. It's also weird that the Monarch and Dr. GF made out to some Bjork song? God knows what it could be but come on man Bjork? lol

u know they had sex to some 16 candles type bullshit lol.

[voodazz]

Is it just me or are they making Girlfriend/wife sexier each season? I think it's a diabolical plan by the writers to lure fans in with her uber sexiness and get their guard down and then BAM! MAN PENIS!!

[DeathScythe]

Season 3 started off pretty shitty. Season 2's opening episode was WAY better.

[N-StradAT9]

i enjoyed the episode, but it really wasn't up to par with season 2's opener. Part of that might have to do with the episode not actually being episode 27 of the series (which is where season 3 actually starts). The episode was actually #32. i imagine they showed that first out of which episodes completed post-production since it appears to pick up where 26 left off. Although honestly the episode provided almost 0 new information about the characters.

Oh and i saw someone mention about Dr Venture Sr being killed by the guild....
nobody in the episode explicitly said that, the henchman just said he was dead, he didn't say anyone in the guild killed him... so i wouldn't take that as the truth just yet. Besides, his father's death is going to have to be a pivotal story at some point, or at least i'm willing to bet it will.

[ViciousSLASH]

Next weeks episode should completely make up for the not bad, but not great opener.

Dr. Henry Killinger is gonna be all funny.

And N-Strad, that was obviously the season opener. Even if the production numbers say different, why would they air something that didn't have to do with the huge cliffhanger.

It's kinda funny how they just left the cliffhanger behind for an origin story.

Directly from Publick's blog:

Anyway, the aforementioned production problems and a couple of untimely flus have put us slightly behind in post-production. We've fully completed three episodes to date, we're currently editing picture on the fourth (its next stop is the sound engineer), and we'll be starting the fifth this weekend. To give you an idea of how screwy the production order is this season, the first episode we turned in (#27) is going to air third or fourth, depending on how quickly we can rush #37--written eleventh and produced tenth, which we hope to air third but will probably air fourth--through post-production. The second episode we turned in (#29) was written third and produced second, but is going to air eleventh. The third (#28) was written second, produced third, and will air second. And #32, which was written and produced sixth--but will be edited fifth--is actually the premier episode of the season. I dare you to try to keep that kind of continuity conundrum straight in your head...

[ramberk]

Nobody cares about you! Go away!

lol

[AmbiguousCrosup]

Including the season 3 premiere? 27. Why don't you like this show? You didn't really give a reason other than you saying that you didn't like it.

[Gasaraki]

Also, the anime thing isn't an excuse, I've been watching anime since I was a kid and I still love this show, and get the jokes. Though maybe you've never seen those old Hannah-Barbara cartoons? If so I think I could understand somewhat then.

[Lucretz]

I don't think it's so much about you not liking the show, as it is you sounding like a really elitist, snarky pseudo-intellectual faggot.

I'm glad you don't care about getting negged though, cuz I just gave you an extra delivery of neggin' love, from me to you muffin ~
<(^_____________^< )

[Gasaraki]

I thought it had more eps than that. Seemed like it as AS shows it so much I guess. I just don't like the art style. I don't really like the 2 kids. That manly speaking woman is funny kinda but I just can't get into it. The storyline just isn't there for me. I prefer shows with a in depth storyline and this one just doesn't have it for me. I do like comedy just couldn't get into this. I did give it a chance. I did catch an episode where Brock finds out his mentor and the guy that trained him wanted to be a woman or something like that. Just couldn't get into it. Plus that bee looking villan. Or butterfly or whatever he is. Just not my thing.

Yeah you must have never seen Johnny Quest when you were a kid, cause most of that shit is all parodies and references to those old cartoons.

[Lucretz]

oh Lucretz stik that negative up your ass. How many more people are gonna call me whitey and faggot today? That's right I'm a whitey faggot. (not really but who cares what people in a box say) I'm actually a Greek Goddess! Or perhaps a poot in a jug. Either way you can't touch me. Ha!

:rofl:

.. but yeah, go back and read your post at the end of the second page if you're wondering why you got negged so hard. You come across as really elitist sounding whether that was your intention or not. Noone really attacked you before that, so there was no reason to immediately start slinging insults and such.

On topic, yeah, I liked having an episode strictly about Monarch/Dr. GF but it wasn't as funny as I was expecting. It definitely had a few gems though.

[N-StradAT9]

New episode tonight on adultswim.com
Sometime after 5pm eastern

"The Doctor is Sin" Ep 3-28

[ILLiterate]

That was great, Henry has to be one of the better characters in the show after that performance, shows a lot of growth in the characters and I was surprised with Rusty's decision

[ViciousSLASH]

I liked that episode too.

Fruitopia reference!

"I really gotta get my shit together"

hahaha

Brock's story about how he was forced to move out but then Killenger helped him get even MORE money was great

Also, HADJI! LOL!

This episodes makes up for the okay premier.

[ramberk]

Yeah, it was a pretty good episode. I can't help but love, hate and pity Venture. The best scene was when Venture looks up at Brock and asks him "Am I...?" Brock's response is perfect.

Even though I'm glad the episode ended the way it did, I still feel bad for Rusty.

[Infernoman]

Venture get the best and most hilarious villains...

Turns out it's really easy to capture GIFs off of Adult Swims viewer.

Here's an av you can't use because you aren't premium. I'd make it my own, but I love my current av too much to replace it sadly.

Am I really EVIL??? Eh... lol (http://img341.imageshack.us/img341/5694/brockehtn1.gif)

[ramberk]

I vote you replace your AV with the new one you made.

PS. I am so tired of seeing Rusty naked. Ugh.....

haha, that shit was great. Orpheus' speech was once again great. But anytime that guy speaks is comic gold so...

they didnt quite explain it. it just brought up more questions. i dont even remember hadji being mentioned in the season 1.

though i like to think harvey birdman had a prologue to it. lol the gay downfall and stuff.

[ramberk]

I'm pretty sure that stuff that happened in Harvey Birdman is completely separate from the stuff that happens on VB.

[ChairHome]

"You have a whole department of Puerto Ricans?"
Or something to that effect.

That was pretty hilarious.

[DeathScythe]

Last night's episode was a huge improvement over last week's.

[ramberk]

Another new episode premiered today on adultswim.com. It was another "origin" episode. This time it dealt with Pete White and Master Billy Quizboy. It was all right.

The highlight of the episode though was:

It was a total G.I. Joe parody. Pretty good.

I hope we get back to more 'present day' episodes that push the overall plotline forward. Regardless, this one explained quite a few things.

[ViciousSLASH]

Was shown in that one trailer. THIS SIDE IS CURSED! lol Col Hunter. It's funny how everyone is related origin wise. Phantom Limb, Brock, Billy, White, and OSI. Also a Sgt Hatred sighting, young Dr. Girlfriend, baby Hank and Dean, and a Race sighting too.

HOWWWWWWWWWWWWWW CANNNNNN I GUARD YOUR BODDDYYY IF I CANNNNNNNNNNNN'T BE CLOOOOOOOOOOSSSSEEEEEEEEEEEEE TOOOOO YOUR BODYYYYYYY!!! lololololol Myra

Gay GI Joes were funny too.

The episode was the same level of the opening, not great, not bad, just okay-good. The next couple of episode need to be present day tomfoolery.

The shirt this week is either going to be the OSI symbol or the Quiz show Q. I'd buy a shirt with that Quiz Show Q on it

[ILLiterate]

It was an alright episode

Btw, anyone order that Guild shirt they had up a while ago? I ordered mine but it still hasn't come in yet, wondering if anyone got theirs

[ViciousSLASH]

I agree. Episode was decent. It's cool to see some gaps filled, but I'm ready for more present-day action too.


Kinda comes across like the show is getting too full of itself when it goes so heavy on the flashback - but maybe that's just me.

[maxx]

yo some background info from jacksons lj regarding shirt info and the episode itself:

For those of you peak-at-your-Christmas-presents types out there, this week's episode of The Venture Bros. is already viewable online over at the Adult Swim Fix .

I won't spoil it or anything for those of you who'd rather wait until it's on TV Sunday night, but "The Invisible Hand of Fate" was the first episode to be written and produced for season 3, mainly because I originally planned to write it as the penultimate episode of season 2...before the finale got away from us and turned into a two-parter. Given some of the secret histories revealed within, you can well imagine why I would have wanted to shed some light on these particular characters before launching into the finale story. But it was worth the wait, I think.

For the record, I wouldn't have aired this one third in an ideal world, but production deadlines forced our invisible hand. While I'm quite proud of the episode, I worry that throwing another secondary character/flashback-heavy episode at you guys so soon after our Monarch-centric premiere could be a bit confusing--or, worse yet, kind of disappointing--and the episode mightn't get judged fairly on its own merits. But whatever...hopefully you're all into it. And if you're not, there's always next week's episode, "Home Is Where The Hate Is," which is a super-hot Doc & Jackson joint script (and, for no particular reason, probably the most beautifully animated episode of The Venture Bros. ever) and would have aired third if not for the fact that we're still mixing it!

Shirt Club Update:

The Guild of Calamitous Intent shirts and Super-Bonus Brock Samson Kodokan Blood Judo Subscribers-Only shirts will begin shipping next week. For those of you who ordered and are getting antsy wondering where your shirts are, they're being lovingly crafted at the printer's as I write this, and those overworked folks will be jumping onto the Killinger shirts shortly thereafter. Please allow this LJ post to serve in the place of some mass email--this Shirt Club thing has blown up in a way we never expected, but we will get everyone their shirts as quickly as possible. Our website did warn that they could take 3-5 weeks for delivery, but we plan to stick closer to the 3 than the 5.

One caveat for you 2XL subscribers only: some of you will be getting your super-bonus Brock Samson Kodokan Blood Judo shirts a little later than others, because we apparently cleaned American Apparel out of all their 2XL white/red ringer tees. But they're making more, and we'll get them to you as soon as possible. Your Guild shirts are right on schedule, though.

I won't spoil the surprise of this coming Sunday's shirt for you, but... those of you who've been craving a little color in your life after two weeks of plain black tees? You're going to get your wish.

And just a friendly reminder to you week-to-week Shirt Club enthusiasts: Orders for each weekly shirt officially close at 11:59pm (EST) Saturday nights!

And speaking of t-shirts... the Adult Swim Store is selling their own Venture Industries logo shirt , which I thoroughly endorse, and which Shirt Club won't be offering our own version of. So if our shirts don't float your sartorial boat, please check out theirs.


Okay, enough of this...I gotta go Hulk. I mean "write."


We Love You,

JP

[ViciousSLASH]

The next shirt is going to be the Quiz Show Q, just you watch.

Also, it sucks they had to go out of order like that, but at least we are assured a potentially great episode next week. Woo Woo.

Two alright episodes and one great one is a good start. That is like a B average for the season so far.

[robotchop]

oh woah they had shirts out? that's awesome. I am really liking this season so far. I watched "The Invisible Hand of Fate" episode I thought it was really funny. One question I have though about the second ep of this season is how did triana return from the phantom zone? they never brought her back at the end of last season, but then she played the fake receptionist when that general guy came in this season.

[Gasaraki]

If you read the thread, the episodes were aired out of order due to issues behind the scenes so to speak.

You mean when The Order of the Triad was getting their villian? Yeah, the guy left clues and they figured out where she was, Dr.O got her off camera

[white shadow]

You mean when The Order of the Triad was getting their villian? Yeah, the guy left clues and they figured out where she was, Dr.O got her off camera

That's the T-Shirt I'm waiting for over all others. I would love rockin' that shirt and I'm not even a clothing afficionado. I hope it comes in a black and gold design.:bgrin:

I hate Pete White now, he's completely asshole that screwed over Billy's life.

[Person-Man]

Man, the Quizboy episode had me laughing out of my mind. The whole thing was just insanely ridiculous.

[marshun]

pre-phantom limb looks like Hans Gruber

[ILLiterate]

That's the T-Shirt I'm waiting for over all others. I would love rockin' that shirt and I'm not even a clothing afficionado. I hope it comes in a black and gold design.:bgrin:

I hate Pete White now, he's completely asshole that screwed over Billy's life.Yeah, I'm pretty sure I read somewhere it's black with the gold symbol, can't wait for it

Pete, I dunno. He seems like he's very dependent on other people. He always needed someone to help him along and he found that in Billy. When Billy left to help with you OSI, you can see that Pete's life is just terrible living in the trailer and all messy. He takes Billy in because he feels like he owes it to Billy and without another partner he just can't make it at all

[Infernoman]

and yet...it came at the cost of billy having his life get fucked up. feel bad for him...

[ramberk]

"Even his dot is fat."

Pretty good episode. A lot of great one-liners.

[maxx]

:rofl: :rofl:

the rubber bullets were too much

[ViciousSLASH]

Funny episode, but I am tired of the moppets as characters. They used up the brunt of their one joke humor when they first appeared.

They need to get killed in some horribly hilarious manner, I was hoping the boys of the henchmen would somehow do it.

Sgt Hatred makes me laugh, I was sad his wife wasn't in the episode. I'm thinking the next shirt will be based on his Tattoo somehow.

[N-StradAT9]

Oh man his Hatred tattoo actually cracked me up when you got to see the whole thing. And wtf is with almost every character getting naked? So glad they self-censor the show

Good episode overall

[ViciousSLASH]

Yeah!

I am, as of today, an official shirt club member!

SHIRT CLUB!!!

[white shadow]

Pedo-Sarge is gonna combine his forces with nambla to create the gayest army since Alexander the Great's legion for the season finale.

[ViciousSLASH]

The new episode is lol.

Tons of great lines/funny shit.

Him talking to the monarch though the camera was great. I love hugging you in your new costume. Johnny and Dr Z were great too. So many shirt options too, the safest guess is the Camp Shirt with the lightbulb

[ramberk]

Definitely liked this episode a lot.

Having Dean wail on the obnoxious kid was awesome. It looks like Brock is a father too!

[maxx]

lol i like how rusty keeps up the appearance he had sex to have hank and dean.

haha come on now...if u missed the fucking dr.zim reference u all fail!

[NeoBlood]

lol i like how rusty keeps up the appearance he had sex to have hank and dean.

haha come on now...if u missed the fucking dr.zim reference u all fail!

I thought he DID have sex to make them. He had sex with his crazy female bodyguard from way back when. He only clones them because they die all the time.

[maxx]

i cant remember...were they originally his kids.

[ramberk]

Yeah they are originally his kids.

[ChairHome]

I think this was one of the better episodes. I was dying through most of it. "We're going to tell the kids that it was a guy in a gorilla suit and never speak of this again. Now give me that shoe." Cloning the dead kid was genius, and it was fantastic that the kid that Brock ended up hating and wanting to beat up was actually his son. "Doc, wait a sec! They're kids... let them sort it out!"

Episodes like this remind me of why I love this show so much.

[white shadow]

I knew that was Brock's son from the get-go. I just relished in when Dean kicked his ass too.

lol @ the Suicidegirls reference. They need to do an ep that goes 15 years in the future to see what kind of messed up yet compatible relationship Dean and Gothgirl would have... as well as brain-in-a-robot Dr.Venture.

[Antzer]

I thought that was a great episode too. Good to see another appearance by "Action" Johnny, albeit a less spaced out version

[maxx]

fuck johnny quest it was all about dr.zim. haha. hamming it up like he was a shakespearean actor.

[N-StradAT9]

Great episode.
Brock wanting to thrash the kid who happened to be his son was hysterical, and when he stopped the doc from breaking up the fight i almost lost it. He was pumping his fist along with it and all, too good.
i also don't usually find cartoons to be terribly attractive or anything, but jesus that new dr girlfriend/wife/whatever costume was hot as fuck. Need some silly girl to cosplay that shit and be hot in the first place, asap.

[DeathScythe]

fuck johnny quest it was all about dr.zim. haha. hamming it up like he was a shakespearean actor.

Dr. Xin, actually.

Yeah, this was definitely my favorite ep so far of the new season. It was well done!

[ChairHome]

Great new ep... Dean is the man. Haha.

[Sasmasta]

This episode was pretty good.

Broken Arrow. :lol:

[maxx]

i swear the creators said to themselves..how many johnny quest references can we do this season to outdo seasons 1 and 2. lol. the past 2 episodes have had a fuckton of johnny quest references.

[ViciousSLASH]

You're a crazy strong bitch! And the Orangutan boxing assist at the end had me rolling

[robotchop]

good episode. man dean is kicking ass this season.

[ViciousSLASH]

I think I recall them ( the creators ) saying they really wanted to pump Dean up this season, make him more entertaining then he already was.

Man oh man, they are succeeding.

Dean has been running shit the past couple episodes. It looks like after those first two flashback laden episodes that this season has really found it's stride.

gotta love the Jonas Sr swinger party, Colonel Gentleman is great.

[ViciousSLASH]

Holy shit, the new shirt is the best one yet.

They said they were going to make this shirt as a joke in one of the commentaries.

lol, fucking "DEAN!", so good.

[voodazz]

Okay so did anyone else get the vibe that Rusty and the lady doctor are brother and sister or am I just painfully stating the obvious??

[ViciousSLASH]

Okay so did anyone else get the vibe that Rusty and the lady doctor are brother and sister or am I just painfully stating the obvious??

Ha I didn't even put that together, oh the 70's, what a crazy decade.

That was great when Jonas fell on the box fort and rusty just started crying.

[ramberk]

I didn't catch that... but yeah, they probably are bro and sis and we'll get yet another awkward Star Wars reference from it.

[voodazz]

It all fits. The gay father, the affair, the RED hair... Damn, Venture Sr. was a pimp!

[white shadow]

Dean is impotent and gay.

This ep was an animated Skinemax flick filled with hilarity.

Best scene for me was when Bull Dyke bodyguard stepped on the brakes and Dr.Venture rolled off the windshield. It was so unexpected and funny how they did it.:rofl:

[ViciousSLASH]

It all fits. The gay father, the affair, the RED hair... Damn, Venture Sr. was a pimp!

I really don't think it was an "affair" as much as it was the 70's.

Everyone fucked everyone back then. They just cheated at the swinger party.

But yeah, Dr Venture Sr was a super pimp.

Dean is not gay, dean is the man. He just has different priorities right now, and Trianna is his girl anyway.

[Rhio2k]

She was a lil paunchy and old, but Ginnie was hittable...especially with that canadian accent. I LOVE that accent on women. Love the scene where she was trying to make her ward jealous by flirting with Brock. Brock went through all the mental stages of a hookup and breakup with a busted-up chick in less than 5 minutes.


"Uhh...what is she...?"

"Ohhhh."

"Don't know if want...

"I guess..."

"What the HELL??"

:rofl:

[ChairHome]

Okay so did anyone else get the vibe that Rusty and the lady doctor are brother and sister or am I just painfully stating the obvious??

Yeah, that's what I got out of it, too. Especially with the hair color...

[N-StradAT9]

Gotta agree, this season is getting better and better as it goes on.
Now, if Quymn and her posse come back into the story, i'd entertain that they're siblings somehow, but otherwise i wouldn't read too much into it. i got the feeling she has red hair, adventures, scientist, etc because she and her group were supposed to be analogous the the Venture team, not necessarily intertwined. But yeah, if she comes back into the show then there is likely to be more to it.

My favorite part was also when she slammed the brakes and Doc went flying off the roof and down the hood, that was fucking hysterical. Nobody reacting to it and then the next scene just starting up sealed the deal. It's just so assumed at this point that Doc fucks up so often that little shit like that isn't even supposed to surprise anyone, it's normal.

how the hell is dean gay? he loves trianna...he's a one woman kinda guy. plus the wereadile was wrecking shop and dean was the only one focused on stopping destruction.

One woman kinda guy would be ok, if he was *officially* with Trianna, but no straight teenage boy would turn down a horny set of twins feenin' for jungle love.

As for the wereadile, he could've taken notes from Brock Samson and kill 2 birds with one stone like he always does.

[MCP]

You forget his name is Dean, and he's a pussy. He fuckin ran away at the mear sight of another teenage boy. How do you think he's gonna react to girls he's explicitly states he's not attracted to, start trying to fuck him?
He'll scream, like a little girl.


Hey Dean should sing vocals for a band, similar to Robert Plant in Zep. He's got that high pitches voice, all he needs is to grow some balls and stop being a pussy, which he's done two episodes in a row, but he's still a pussy. At least he's not wearing a speed suit.


And yes best joke in the whole show was when Venture Flies off the roof of the car, followed by an orangutang beatin up the wearadile, followed by 'bottle that ass', followed by Samson's awkward, 'blood rushed straight to his... umm', followed by Dean instructing Hank to come to the jungle with dynamite or something, and then he walks backwards into the foliage. He actually looked cool, wtf Dean?

I like this new season so far it's good.

See, now you just wanna have your cake and eat it, too. Once the nads drop, his voice will crack, then deepen.

Ha! I laughed my ass off too because it was just so unexpected.

Oh shit. I just noticed the ikea furniture in the native's hut!

[ViciousSLASH]

This episode is great simply for the many times blackula or some variant of it was uttered. "Now I got the blue balls in my blood eye" genius. Looks like White Shadow will be getting his order of the triad shirt, ASSEMBLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. He keeps saying he's the firestarter!

[N-StradAT9]

New episode was crazy as hell, loved it. i loved the character that showed up in the tunnels, cause that was the first fucking thing i thought of when i saw how they looked and heard the sounds. Won't give anything away here but it's a pretty damn good episode, Doc's dad looks less and less like a good guy the more they show of him

[ramberk]

Yeah, that was a pretty damn trippy episode and Doc Sr. is looking more like a super villain as the series goes on...

The the launch scene was awesome...

[ramberk]

Another new ep...

It wasn't an action packed episode but it really pushed a lot of plotlines forward. It was nice to see the Monarch bond with his two special henchmen. Its starting to look like there's two separate factions in the Monarch's army and the general army seems like they like Dr. Girlfriend's leadership. Brock's lost son reappears and acts like a douche. Pefect line: "Now I know you're Hank's friend." And of course the two monarch henchmen reveal why they won't die. Hilarious. I'm scared to think what Hank will do with his new "knowledge". For a somewhat "filler" episode, it set up a lot of great plots.

[ViciousSLASH]

"Like the Highlander?"

"Yes, like the Highlander"

Action mad was the lolz.

[ramberk]

B U M P

Newest ep was c r a z y! Crazy good.

[voodazz]

I thought for sure one or both of the henchmen were going to die this episode, the way they were acting all cocky about being "unkillable" That would have been a shock. I still feel sorry for number 1, but at least he went down fighting.

Why is Ms. Girlfried, wife, whatever back to wearing her drab old costume? Her butterfly outfit was much cooler.

The Voltron tribute was awesome! An ice cream cone arm? what the hell??

[ramberk]

I was hoping Number 1 would not have died.

The Monarch's ultimate success at tricking Jonas Jr. was completely unexpected. The manner in which it all worked out and its unexpected success was just pure comedy gold.

Number 21 and 24 cockiness was starting to get on my nerves. Regardless of that, their logic was totally spot on and hilarious.

[white shadow]

Brock redirecting that spinning weapon was dope.

[N-StradAT9]

:sad: we're quickly coming to the end of S3, only 3 more episodes left. Last 2 are another 2-parter, and from the name you can pretty much tell that it's about the Monarch going after Doc, as he mentioned halfway through last weeks episode. Sounds like JJ will be involved too, judging from the name.

So i don't know if anyone has seen the commercials for this weeks coming episode? They only show one brief scene and it's not a comical one. If you haven't seen it, it's Brock driving in his car and then the car locks everything down and he loses control of it, then it tells him he is "fired" which i would assume means the OSI are trying to kill him? And it very much does not look like a flashback from his hair.

[ChairHome]

"'Scott! No!' As you die in my arms"

Great episode. On AS's website, they have the comic-con panel of them answering questions. They're thinking about making a movie/DVD feature after they get their stuff together and can get us two seasons in a row without making us wait two years between each one...

[Bernard]

Number 21 and 24 cockiness was starting to get on my nerves. Regardless of that, their logic was totally spot on and hilarious.

I thought it was great poking fun at their own plot holes. Plus 24 complaining he would have to move back in with this dad was hilarious.

[MCP]

OMG FIRED?!

holy shit.
Anyways it did seem like Brock was in on the whole Monarch thing.
He's probably been incredibly bored since seargeant Hatred took over.
He really, REALLY, like killing butterflies. To the point of a fetish.


"'Scott! No!' As you die in my arms"

hahahaha.
How the fuck did they NOT trip the laser thingy?

That would be a cool and logical plot twist if Brock was working with the Monarch...

As for the laser trap, I think they did trip it. Didn't the alarms go off? It's just that since they've become regular supporting characters they were thus unkillable. Poor #1 was not a supporting character so he died.

(Don't complain about spoilers okay. Stop reading).

Anyhow, its already been mentioned that Doc Venture was killed by the Guild. From the flashbacks it seems that the Guild originally was a group of famous inventors/writers/magicians. Then the group splintered because half wanted to use the Orb for evil and the other half wanted to use it for good. Now what I'm unclear is what side Rusty's grandfather was on. He wanted to use the orb and his bodyguard killed him for it. Who was giving orders to the bodyguard? Was the bodyguard acting on his own accord?

A lot of questions... OSI definitely knows about the orb and the need to keep it hidden. When OSI thought Brock failed at keeping the Orb secret he was going to get eliminated. Did OSI exist way back when? Maybe OSI was started by that old bodyguard.

Anyhoo... awesome episode. It had me on edge the whole time. A lot of great lines...

"It's my mini DS Lite, goo goo gaa gaa."

Wanted to make sure everyone who watched that episode noticed some key stuff. During the flashbackish scene where they talk about using the orb... the magician that gets carried out is the same voice actor for orpheus, and i would gamble is his grandfather who swear revenge. Later, when the alchemist figures out where it is, the scene shows him staying quiet and seemingly trying to act like he doesn't know what is going on.
There's got to be more to the Kano thing too, since the rest of the old venture team feels so embarrassed/distraught about Ven Sr.'s death.

[ChairHome]

That was a pretty good episode. I laughed at the Nintendo DS Lite line.

I noticed the Orpheus voice actor, too. Phantom limb's grandfather was obvious. At first, I thought Sambo (?) was a nod to Colonel Gentleman's gay bodyguard ("My faithful bodyguard"). I think he was acting of his own accord and trying to "protect the world" from it being unleashed.

[voodazz]

I thought the image of Kano holding Brock by the throat was awesome. That dude is Hyoooge.

lol the comic con panel from adultswim.com

Was the bodyguard just plain crazy?


The DS line was even greater than quoted,
'It's my mini DS light, uh.., goo goo ga ga?'
That extra 'uh' in there was perfect.

no i dont think u get what i mean. was it a documentry following rusty, like were all the things happening to rusty as a kid or was it a show based on his life.

[N-StradAT9]

no i dont think u get what i mean. was it a documentry following rusty, like were all the things happening to rusty as a kid or was it a show based on his life.

i think the point now is that they've blurred that quite a bit. Doc had all kinds of real life adventures as a kid, and then i'd gamble that a show was made as well. It probably wasn't a documentary, but who the hell knows.

[PozerWolf]

no i dont think u get what i mean. was it a documentry following rusty, like were all the things happening to rusty as a kid or was it a show based on his life.
Yeah, that seemed to have thrown me off. Not too sure if it is random BS of a show, or those were real recordings put on the air as tho if it was a show.


Also, WTF is with the endings to some of thee eps.
Like, it starts to get all crazy, then ends a calm and anti-climatic.
Blehhhhh!! :arazz:

Still, I watch and enjoyed the eps.

Not to mention, when they were flying in that Blimp, that sound in the background was not bad.

[Bernard]

I'm gonna have to go out of my way and say that you don't understand the question.

He asks if they were documents which is kind of referring to stuff like when the little dude was praising Venture every time he had an idea like "Oh man, just like the old days!" And Venture agreed.

In other words, people are wondering wether or not those "cartoon" episodes are real events that happened and someone randomly recorded there adventures, or just some made up stuff.

Thing is, it can't be said for sure at this point.

[ViciousSLASH]

It's a cartoon of Rusty's life.

Look at Kano and Rusty, they don't look like that in the real life flashbacks.

I swear, SRK man.

[N-StradAT9]

It's a cartoon of Rusty's life.

Look at Kano and Rusty, they don't look like that in the real life flashbacks.

Agreed, all the characters looked slightly different. Col Gentleman had different hair entirely, and doc sr's face looked kinda funny too in the beginning. i'm thinking it was basically a cartoon made about real-life (um, relatively) adventures rusty had growing up. And that would mean lots of people assume things about Doc because of the cartoon, would explain all the fans of him, etc.

[Bernard]

I'm gonna have to go out of my way and say that you don't understand the question.


No, you simply do not understand the answer probably because I used fancy words like "latter."

Pt.1 of the two-part finale should be up on [AS] in about 6 hours. Saw a commercial for it last night, and it showed Brock driving while someone on a motorcycle was chasing him. The car started flowing oil out, and then was lit on fire. Basically the karma police video but with Brock Samson trying to run some guy over.

[poo]

Part 1 was just epic. Just one fight after another.

The german assassin with the killing fetish made me spit out my drink, as well as Brock disguising a shark with his own freakin hair and clothes to trick the sea fairing assassin.

"She's buttering me?!"

Herr Trigger was too good. And so was Le Teurr.

"He also collects something called 'silver age comics'."

[maxx]

so i take it we're just supposed to ignore last seasons season finale and dr.girlfriend at this point?

[Rod Driguez]

Watched the latest ep online this morning. They really outdid themselves with that one. I'd have to say it was probably one of the 3 best ever - of ANY season.

I'll say more after the standard Sunday airing on CN.

[N-StradAT9]

so i take it we're just supposed to ignore last seasons season finale and dr.girlfriend at this point?

Haha, pretty much.

i plan on watching it tonight in a real resolution as well, so i'm curious what exactly will be cut that was "uncut" about it on as.com

[ramberk]

I'm confused, why do you guys say that last seasons finale no longer matters? And why should we ignore Dr. Girlfriend?

[voodazz]

That was a crazy episode. It was nice to see one of my favorite characters appear again.

Oh and it was nice to see Dr. wife/girlfriend whatever wearing her queen butterfly outfit again. I just don't get that Jackie O outfit.

Oh and I was actually kinda sad to see that one guy get.... well... you'll find out.... he had real potential of being a regular character.

[AmbiguousCrosup]

I assume her official name is now Dr. Mrs. The Monarch.

[MCP]

so i take it we're just supposed to ignore last seasons season finale and dr.girlfriend at this point?

Yea what the fuck is that all about? They leave us with a cliffhanger for how many years and then don't clear it up. They even directly quote it at the beginning of season 3.

Whatever man Brock Samson is awesome.

[maxx]

I'm confused, why do you guys say that last seasons finale no longer matters? And why should we ignore Dr. Girlfriend?

because she was gonna reveal some important info like shes preggo or sumtin. but this season didnt even touch on the cliffhanger at all.

[ViciousSLASH]

so i take it we're just supposed to ignore last seasons season finale and dr.girlfriend at this point?

Her surprise was that she was getting monarch back into the guild.

C'mon man!

ECSTASY.

That part made me lol. And I was so hoping for Hank to bring out the Batman costume. We need it at least ONCE this season. C'mon Venture Brothers writer guys! Don't let me down.

If the shirt club shirt is Hank as the BAT, gawd, that is so getting bought. That is my favorite running gag.

[voodazz]

Like I said before, I really liked the french assassin guy. He would have made a great reoccurring character and he's one of the few people to kick Brock's ass one on one.

[Klaige]

because she was gonna reveal some important info like shes preggo or sumtin. but this season didnt even touch on the cliffhanger at all.


Yes she did. She was going to say "I'm sorry." Which she did, it was anti-climax cliffhanger just to fuck with us.

[MCP]

when did she say that?
At the beginning of episode 3-1 she still didn't finish. is it near the end?

Later she says I'm sorry, and the monarch says, 'that is what you should have told me in the cacoon'

[white shadow]

That fetish assassin was crazy cool, so relentless.

That french dude actually got Brock in a corner, which he must get props for. R.I.P.

[MCP]

That fetish assassin licked the end of an automatic weapon after firing it...

DAYM..


NEW EPISODE TOMORROW!

The family that slays together... so what are the ventures gonna be murderers?
tune into adult swim :).

[MCP]

Fuck Yea new episode already up.

The Clone Wars.

[N-StradAT9]

Finale was pretty great. Won't give anything away but it's pretty damned funny. Probably the single most violent episode they've ever done as well.

Sets up the next season pretty well also.

So did i miss something or did they explain ever what was wrong with Dean?

[voodazz]

Wow. Part 2 of the finale was cwaaaazy.

Vague hint: Looks like somebody lost their immortality

[MCP]

So did i miss something or did they explain ever what was wrong with Dean?

He's a pussy.

[maxx]

lol iron man pacemaker.

[Bernard]

24, nooooo!!!!!!!

[DeathReaper47]

TWENTY FOUR NOOOOOOOOOOO! Why would you buckle up!? WHY WOULD YOU BUCKLE UP!?

And you think that explosion was done by those little bastards(forgot their names, I hate their 1 dimensional asses)?

Good thing we only have until Fall of 2009 to wait :crybaby:

[voodazz]

oH man, when hank called Cocktease a hood rat I almost lost it!

Her outfit looked like someone smeared the aborted the aborted fetus of Baby Phat and Fubu.

I always liked Brock with the shaved head.

Thank god Mrs. wife whatever is wearing her queen butterfly outfit again. She still needs to do something with those wings.

The murderous moppets didn't kill 24. Liked they planned for his dumbass to hide out in the monarch mobile and buckle up as helper stole the car.

how the hell did helper drive anyway? Wasn't he cut in half?

Dang, the OSI dudes are freakin' brutal. For every one of them the monarch henchmen took out (usually by ganging up) they killed at least 10 henchmen.

The mr. clean scene kind of surprised me with the brutality. Acid to the face, bad way to go.

[Bernard]

I lost it with the HELPeR's Interrogation. That shit was funny as hell. Hunter Gathers as one of Molotov's assassins was funny too.

[AmbiguousCrosup]

I officially hate Mol. That bitch fucked with my man Brocks' emotions.
RIP #24 1969-2008 (http://astrobasego.com/shirtoftheweek.html)

[maxx]

seriously where does hank pick up this stuff?

lol...so i take it now hank and dean can't die since they killed off all the clones? ggpo plot device

lol@ brocks fling being the mastermind behind it all.

lol@the boss being a blatant spoof on nick fury and tony stark.

[GeoG2]

I actually have to torrent these eps. I have to admit, I was a huge fan of the first season. The second, not so much. This, I haven't really been following, sans the first 3-4 eps.

I felt the same way about the second season of Boondocks and Robot Chicken. The attraction seem to wear off.

[AmbiguousCrosup]

Season 2>Season 3 imo Victor Echo November is the best VB Episode of all time.

[white shadow]

NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! Not Raymond!!! R.I.P. :crybaby:

At least Brock finally proves what we always knew, he not just the muscle but a schemer as well.

[Bernard]

NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! Not Raymond!!! R.I.P. :crybaby:

It is 100% final (http://www.astrobasego.com/shirtoftheweek.html).

:crybaby::crybaby:

[maxx]

It is 100% final (http://www.astrobasego.com/shirtoftheweek.html).

:crybaby::crybaby:

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

i'm dying here...hmmm...poor choice of words haha.

[ViciousSLASH]

I lost it with the HELPeR's Interrogation. That shit was funny as hell. Hunter Gathers as one of Molotov's assassins was funny too.

Me too man, when helper was all scared and just started beeping like crazy, that was it for me.

Season 2>Season 3 imo Victor Echo November is the best VB Episode of all time.

Season 3 has had some pretty damn funny episodes.

I think they are just getting better and better. Next season should be super lols if Sergent Hatred is there new body guard.

He is comedy gold for me.

WHY DID YOU BUCKLE UP!!??!

WHY DID YOU DO THAT!!?!?

It was actually pretty sad when 24 said "I don't knoooooooooooooow"

And someone had to have killed him because Dr. Mrs. the Monarch left the detonator in the cocoon. I'll laugh if one of next seasons major plot points is 21 finding the killer and getting revenge.

[ChairHome]

Well, like someone mentioned earlier, the only ones that could have killed him were the Moppets.

Season 3 was pretty good, but in terms of the overall season, I think Season 2 was the best so far. And the S2 finale was much more epic than this one.

[N-StradAT9]

Not gonna lie, i'm pretty down 24 is dead. The shirts really funny though, i actually had to snatch that shit up.

Overall the 3rd season couldn't eclipse the 2nd, but was still pretty damned good overall. Definitely got better as it went on too.

Some questions i saw mentioned in here that i think i might know...
Helper rigged himself with a couple of hooks and stuff on his arms. How he did that i dunno, but that's how he was able to drive the car. Him getting messed up like that and then still working has happened several times so it didn't really surprise me.

The moppets had to be who set the bomb off, there wasn't anyone else left to. They've also been actively plotting and trying to kill 24 since the season began, so it would make a lot of sense. As usual, this will probably never be explained or even brought up again.

[MCP]

Well, like someone mentioned earlier, the only ones that could have killed him were the Moppets.

With a knoife.


and when 21 finds out the Moppets set it off, he'll try to get revenge and get cut with a knife, or stabbed, with a knife, lose some weight, with a knife,

speaking of knife,
how the hell does Hank know about a Brazilian smile?

[Bernard]

how the hell does Hank know about a Brazilian smile?

He channels dead crazy people.

Oh well since you put it that way, I guess the Moppets finally got their touch back.
vaya con dios #24. I'm still not paying 23 bucks for your shirt though.

[MCP]

;(
we're gonna have to wait now for season 4...

[OmegaX]

Did anyone else think this season kind of felt short. Probably cause they didn't seperate the episodes into to halves and play the second a year after the first one. Also kinda disappointed that Baron Underbheit didn't have any appearances this season but oh well.

[Rokusho]

I completely forgot about Baron Underbheit this season. They could've done something great about him trying to reclaim his kingdom or taking revenge on the Venture family. Still, this is why season 4 will be worth the wait.

On a commentary the creators pretty much said they didn't want to use him ever again.

[ChairHome]

I just saw the first episode of VB running on adult swim last night. It looked terrible, haha. At first, I thought it was another show that was mocking Venture Bros, but I forgot how bad the animation used to be.

[MCP]

The pilot had 'bad' animation, the rest of season one was much improved.

really bad blinking >_<

I'll be glad if baron oonder pedophile doesn't come back. I mostly dislike his episode. Woman hitler... *shudder*



Pilot:
No weapons allowed in the UN, I'm going to have to confiscate that knife Mr Samson

GO ahead, Take IT from me!

[N-StradAT9]

Yeah you can definitely see the animation progress as the first season goes on. That pilot episode looks wack as shit, it's like newgrounds flash bad. You can tell just how they hadn't even nailed down the characterizations for people yet either, the Monarch's costume is all different, etc. The writing gets better too, but that's a little more subjective.

The thing about Baron was in the special Season 2 dvd thingy, they joke around about how they're done with him in the show (good riddance imo). Then they joke about explaining why billy's hand is messed up, which they had apparently planned to do in S2 and just didn't have time for so it went to S3.

[white shadow]

Watching old school Venture Bros. has me wanting me to see more of that same style and simplistic comedy. I actually prefer the old school grit and Brock Samson's 2-Dimensionality w/ the all killer no-filler approach to his job. That slow thumb movement into eye gouge is so god tier!

Dr.Venture was actually less of an condescending a-hole too which is one of the reasons I started to detest his character over time.

Yeah, true that.
Seem like Dr. V was more of the "hey guys, cut some slack! So I fucked up" kind of person, were as when the series progress he was just very condescending.

And Brock was a lot more brutal too.
Guy never gave the dudes he fucked up a chance to talk, like what he did to monark (?).

"We're are the boys?!"
"Wait-- just wait a moment! AAAAHHHHHH!!"

[MCP]

blade runner style right there.

Fuckin shoved the monarch's wings into his stomach.


Episode 2:
They hit me with a truck!
