Iambaytor Posted January 13, 2007 Posted January 13, 2007 Okay, Dr. Girlfriend and I can't be the only ones watching this show. Honestly it's Adult Swim's best in my mind (And unlike 90% of the shit on Adult Swim it's coherant. Okay we get it, the randomness of Sea Lab and Aqua Teen Hunger Force was funny, let it go) it's enjoyable on its own but if you get all the references it's even better. While it's main parody is of Johnny Quest there are also parodies of The Hardy Boys, Doc Samson, James Bond, Nick Fury Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., Doc Savage, Doctor Strange, Blade, Wesley Snipes, Hunter S. Thompson, The Black Widow, Dormammu, and countless others but you don't necesserily need to understand any of these to love this show. It was created by one of the lead writers of the Tick animated series as well as Sheep in the Big City and the live-action Tick series. The Tick creator Ben Edlund has also written a few episodes. The humor is brilliant and a definite parody of all those old Hannah Barbara cartoons we all watched when we were young. If you watch Adult Swim semi-regularly and haven't seen this then you need to stop turning the TV off after you've jerked off to Inuyasha cause it's worth it. Quote
HypnotizinChikns Posted January 13, 2007 Posted January 13, 2007 indeed. The best ever was the David bowie/Iggy episodes. i really wish they came out with some merchendise for the venture bros. Also look up Doc Hammer (Soulbot) on myspace. Quote
Iambaytor Posted January 13, 2007 Author Posted January 13, 2007 Oh yeah the David Bowie/Iggy Pop thing was fucking brilliant. I also love the two Monarch Henchman. "No, we are not calling ourselves Jet Boy and Jet Girl, I don't care if I get to be Jet Boy." Quote
HypnotizinChikns Posted January 13, 2007 Posted January 13, 2007 Also big Kudos for the Hunter S Thompson episode...my husband who is a huge HST fan didn't get who he was supposed to be until i did. But yeah, they put a lot of celebrities likness into their charecters, but it's done in such a manner to where you can't tell if they are making fun of them, or just giving nods to where their inspration comes from. i could go on and on and on about how much this show rocks...but seriously, you MUST check it out if you haven't already. http://www.ventureindustries.org/ Quote
Iambaytor Posted January 13, 2007 Author Posted January 13, 2007 I picked up on the Hunter S. Thompson/Nick Fury thing right off I was just in awe for about five minutes. Quote
The NZA Posted January 13, 2007 Posted January 13, 2007 i demand torrent links to be informed. I fear i might be missing out. Quote
Iambaytor Posted January 13, 2007 Author Posted January 13, 2007 (edited) Sorry, I don't use bittorrent. Edited January 13, 2007 by Iambaytor Quote
Ganny McVagflaps Posted January 13, 2007 Posted January 13, 2007 I have the first season on DVD but haven't made it through it yet (I just finished "Entourage" and "Arrested Development"...gimme an effen break here, pallie). It is a kick ass show. Took me forever to get into it for some reason (which, tends to happen to me with everything "Arrested Development" didn't really sink in with me until it was cancelled ) but I'm loving it. Like the Grimace. Where the fuck is that big purple ni..wi..pigga? And since 'baytor has standards (HA! So young, I remember when I was a young fellow I had them too. Soon he will learn) Season 1: Disc 1 and Disc 2. Quote
Iambaytor Posted January 13, 2007 Author Posted January 13, 2007 Yeah I have standards says the 500 some mp3s, 7 emulators with about 110 roms, the 73 paladin press books, 112 comics, and a few pirated games on my computer. Quote
The NZA Posted January 13, 2007 Posted January 13, 2007 Thank you sir. plesae post on arrested devlopment when you can, too. Ill get on this one this week, then. Quote
HypnotizinChikns Posted January 20, 2007 Posted January 20, 2007 so well...? anyone pick it up and watch it this week? Quote
The NZA Posted January 21, 2007 Posted January 21, 2007 Just finished getting season 1, after i catch up on 24 its next in line. Lookin forward to it. Quote
HypnotizinChikns Posted August 19, 2007 Posted August 19, 2007 I finally got the DVD for season two, I had completley missed entire episodes! Quote
Iambaytor Posted August 19, 2007 Author Posted August 19, 2007 Someday I will pick these up it took me long enough to track down Invader Zim the complete invasion and Firefly for less than $30 but I've done it. these are next in the tube, then The Tick vs. Season 2 and seasons 2 and 3 of Arrested Development. Quote
HypnotizinChikns Posted September 29, 2007 Posted September 29, 2007 ah! Zim is the hotneSS as far as kid oriented shows go. Quote
Maldron Posted April 6, 2008 Posted April 6, 2008 It's like all I do is resurrect posts. Ah well. NEW EPISODES JUNE FIRST. HENRY KILLINGER RETURNS. I'm somewhat pissed I missed the first half of it when Adult Swim did their April Fools nonsense. I missed a new 15 minutes of venture, a new Metalocalypse, and probably something else I care about. Anyway. This was for awareness. Quote
HypnotizinChikns Posted April 6, 2008 Posted April 6, 2008 I'm hoping they go more into Treeana (sp?) and her friend's quest to become super villians! Dr. O's kiddo would be a HAWT villian. Also, check out Doc's art on devient. he has got to be the worlds best texture painter. Quote
HypnotizinChikns Posted April 26, 2008 Posted April 26, 2008 YAYS!!! Bad video of a preview for SEASON THREE!!! the good news... WE ARE ALL GETTING LAID!!! Quote
Iambaytor Posted April 26, 2008 Author Posted April 26, 2008 (edited) More Henry Killinger and Hunter?!! SCORE!! I also look forward to seeing this G.I. Joe knock-off fleshed out in greater detail. P.S. We need more Dr. Orpheus! Edited April 26, 2008 by Iambaytor Quote
Iambaytor Posted May 4, 2008 Author Posted May 4, 2008 It kinda dissappoints me they killed the knockoff Fred, Shaggy, and Scooby. The whole Son of Sam joke was pure gold. Quote
