The Venture Bros.

[Bort]

It's back...IT'S BACK.  This definitely needs a second watch but here's some of my initial observations.

Spoilers and shit:

Glad to see Brock back in a major role.  And the return of the Brock Samson Eye Twitch of Rage.

One thing that did catch my eye was the sports headline on Gary's paper: "SWING HEIL! CUBS BLITZ METS IN 7-0 HOLOCAUST"

The Monarch's weird elation at finding a deck of cards in the wall.

The Captain's sticking around and he's back on that sweet, sweet tranq juice.

The dickhead guy who bullies Brown Recluse is the alter ego of Stars & Garters, right?

"We're trapped in an elevator with the devil! Just like that movie, Devil!"

"They laughed at my name again"

"Killinger, Killinger, Killinger!"  "He's not Beetlejuice for god's sake!"

Do not fuck with H.E.L.P.E.R.

I know that dickhead is a Flash Thompson analogue, but I wondered the same thing. Also: Night Dick.

*snickers*

Also, upon rewatch, the second guy at the Guild meeting who stands up and yells "AND MORE PEOPLE OF COLOR" who is dressed a baseball player with the bowl haircut has to be called "Purple Rose", no?

Oh shit. Didn't thing of that. Yes he does.

Also, new theory that will probably be totally wrong: Wide Whale is somehow related to Dr. Dugong, who was murdered by the Monarch back in Season 3, and thus the animosity.

Watching that the same night I saw the Warhol stuff on Vinyl was surreal.

Correct! Also,  "I dressed-a myself like a Juggalo, sir!"

I hadn't even realized VB had started a new season until I saw this post and was delighted to find that my DVR was still set to record any new episodes of The Venture Bros. that showed up. So I watched the first 3 of this season and was not disappointed. Anything that goes deep on the Guild of Calamitous Intent and these character's pasts is gold to me, and that's basically what this season has started out with.

Nobody refuses Dave Grohl.  He got a beatle to be in his band!  And King Diamond you try that smartass
