While watching "Tag sale, you're it" again last night, I noticed how much you can hear the water in Billys head whenever he moves. At least in that episode, pretty sure they stopped adding that effect later on.

^^ Ghosts of Sargasso is probably a better choice though, seeing as it's actually in season 1.

A lot of my friends haven't seen the show, what's a good episode to introduce them to the show on? I was thinking season 2 episode 2, hate floats. What are your guys's favorite episodes for 'number of laughs'?

I like to use "Escape to the House of Mummies Pt. II" It's a really continuity light episode that introduces each of the characters well.

How many eps will be in the new season?

In one of the interviews posted in the last thread I saw the words "10 episode season". Which is kind of disappointing. Even with the intro episode being an hour and counting the Halloween episode, it's still shorter than the other seasons. That's the only place I've seen info though, so someone correct me if I'm wrong.

For me, waiting for seasons 3-5 haven't been nearly as nerve wracking as the first year after season 1 finished. Not knowing if it was coming back, and thinking that one of my favorite new shows could end on that kind of cliffhanger was crazy.

Shirt club makes me so happy and it's the first non-essential I've seriously thought about spending $165 on in a long time. Please let there be a Torrid shirt.

Now if there isn't one I'm going to be sad.

I found out about the last shirt club a week after it ended, so I got the full subscription this time. That extra one you get only if you subscribe I will always think of as my $165 t-shirt.

Doc and Jackson had a short interview with Wired that had this tidbit:

Wired Interview posted:

Wired: Were there any surprises the last time you had a Shirt Club?
Doc Hammer: Well, last time I was surprised that no one wanted a Billy [Quizboy] shirt.
Jackson Publick: I was not surprised.
Doc Hammer: I love Billy Quizboy, and I thought that a Quizboy shirt would be a big seller! A purple shirt that says Quizboy should be a thing that everybody wants, but it is not true.
Wired: Are we now going to see stacks of those shirts in the trailer where Billy and Pete White live?
Jackson Publick: Oh, God, right? That’s probably a good idea, actually.
Doc Hammer: Yeah, Billy would have printed his own shirts that he thought there’d be a market for.
Doc Hammer (in the voice of Billy): I made Quizboy shirts!
Jackson Publick (in the voice of White): Billy, those are never gonna sell.
Doc Hammer (in the voice of Billy): They will sell! Everybody wants a Quizboy shirt!
Jackson Publick (in the voice of White): What is that, an eggplant ringer? Come on.
Doc Hammer (in the voice of Billy): I wear a ladies small.
Jackson Publick (in the voice of White): It’s pink!
Doc Hammer (as Billy): It’s eggplant!

So rewatching the episode I noticed that in Hatred's flashback the stuff they were injecting him with was called "Soldier X", after which he breaks his restraints and runs for Treister's son. I'm thinking we may get Hatred dreams throughout the season, like Docs in season 1. A botched super soldier experiment would be the Venture universe generic reason for turning evil. ("What is it with you dicks? The minute an experiment messes up you sell yourself a pair of tight pajamas and become a professional pain in my rear end!")

Also, holy crap, I didn't notice the oompa loompas with face camo before.

Ha, I love that they brought back the plot point that Doc is fooled by a fuckin' Teddy Ruxpin bear. And am I wrong, or are Hank and Dermont wearing their Shallow Gravy outfits? Is the band back together?!

Edit: I'm a bad person, because I've never actually seen the Shallow Gravy special...is it online for free anywhere? I only saw it on Amazon Video for a couple bucks...I'm not made of bucks!


Wait! Do they accept Hank Buck?! I have a couple of those! :haw:

That was easily the best one so far in my opinion.

I'm getting a little worried that I haven't gotten shipping confirmation for my U.R.G.H. shirt yet, even though other peoples have already arrived. Any other club subscribers in the same boat?

I just got my shipping confirmation tonight. I am not sure why it is taking so long to ship some people's shirts when others already have them. I know it is probably a 4 person operation but I can't imagine they have that many subscribers let alone orders.

Well it's a relief to know it's not just me, thanks.

Wondering about the number of subscribers led me to dig up this tweet:

I got my OSI shirt yesterday and it's pretty great. The fabric is a little thin but it's a cotton-polyester-rayon blend so it'll probably hold up to wear well. Honestly, if I had realized that these were going to be semi-exercise shirts I might've gotten the subscription because I have fewer qualms about what I wear when I'm running.

The OSI shirt is thinner compared to the others they've sent out.

Yup, just checked my Hank-Co shirt and it's 100% combed cotton.

Man, they really need to make action figures of everything from this show. Underbheit, HELPER, Plugface, Walking Eye, Phineas Phage... every single character is just so wonderfully unique, it would blow a lineup of GI Joes out of the water. And of course you would need all the vehicles, from the boys' hover bikes to the giant Sphinx ship. Will mom and dad splurge and get you the Spider-Skull Island or Gargantua Two playsets?

I would sit on my floor and shamelessly smash them together making my own sound effects like an 8-year-old.

They have way more stuff now. I bought my Brock Action figure, which apparently they don't sell anymore (they sell a better version), awhile ago. I would love a Deaths Head Panoply, or a Killinger, or Shore Leave, or Jefferson... or any of them- drat it you're right.

That color changing pint glass is pretty sweet too.
