a cock shaped fruit posted:Seeing Brock brutally injure a guy by beating him with his friend via butt connection will never leave my mind as one of the greatest things I have ever seen on a television. The song that plays during that scene is titled "Assclamp!". Which makes perfect sense once you've seen it.

theflyingexecutive posted:Really? That episode is one of the hardest to understand because you basically have to explain everyone's backstories to get their motivations. Eh, it's the first episode I saw and it hooked me. There's a lot of really funny character-based humor in it that doesn't depend too much on motives such as Hank with the hand-dryer or anything with 21 and 24.

This may sound stupid and/ or obvious, but Dia de los Dangerous! is a pretty good starting point. It's where I started, at least. That and the unaired pilot.

Same for me, but it doesn't really show the characters as well as the later season 1 episodes. I always use Ghost of the Sargasso or "Are you there God? It's me, Dean." as introductions. "Are you there God? It's me, Dean." has the benefits of including the Monarch and showcasing the absolutely stupid codes the heroes and villians in that world have to deal with. Plus, balls are funny.

The best part of rewatching the older episodes is wondering if random characters could make a return in the upcoming season, and what kind of episode could be done with them. Will we ever see the return of Tiny Eagle? Manic 8-Ball? Joseph and his Amazing Technicolor Nightmare Coat? Maybe they'll defrost Ook-Ook, and explain how he got frozen in a block of ice to begin with. And with all of the musicians in the Guild, will the guy from Depeche Mode make an appearance? That's the beauty of the Venture Bros' writing style, there's so many possibilities. They turned Captain Sunshine and Monstroso from clever names to use in tossed-off jokes, to major characters in some of season 4's best episodes.

rats off to ya posted: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.

Not to mention the fact that Sgt. Hatred started out as a cool name for a dude with a hover-tank and not only is he now the (large-breasted) Venture bodyguard, but his hover-tank made an unforgettable appearance.

They also have names for characters that they only bring up on commentary. I think it's in the commentary during the party at Hatred's that they point out a guy in the background apparently named Unicornelius who I don't think has ever been brought up in the actual show. To go back to best first episodes, I really think Any/Every Which Way But Zeus is amazing. It really describes almost everything in the Venture-verse perfectly: -The cold opening of Billy and White fighting during the kidnapping -Brock and Hunter's "mournful tits" dialogue -Rusty being a narcissist and terrible father for most of the episode -Treister giving one of his absolutely incredible monologues -Dragoon and Red Mantle ("You have no business here, no business!") -The Guild and their methods ("Unless the loss of life thing happens, then we send your widow a jar of blood and a very nice card") -The entire episode resolving itself without the council accomplishing anything at all

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.

That was back in the era of 29 shows that had one episode never to be seen again. Although most were pretty awful so it worked out for us. gently caress you groovenians And now I just had a traumatic flashback to the Ripping Friends.

Eltingville made me reconsider the trajectory of my life when I realized that I knew the answers to all of the trivia questions in the showdown part of the episode. It was the first time I realized that maybe it was a bad thing that I was able to do that. I haven't looked back.

Christ, June 2nd is way sooner than I was expecting. I thought it wouldn't be out until September. And thank you thread for alerting me to the fact that there was a Halloween episode and I never watched it! It's like I get to start the new season a whole week earlier than you guys.

I guess I'm just dumb. I got the impression from the DVD that the original Pilot was never aired. I guess it just didn't fit with the rest of the episodes? I have no clue.

I always assumed that they were mistaking Pete White with the guy from Depeche Mode. I heard on the VH1, he's totally straight. But he's in Depeche Mode!

I had high hopes Eltingville and wish it had been picked up, but I also liked the comics on which it was based on.Delaio posted: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. From what I remember it might be more dire than this because the hour long episode might count as 2 episodes and the Halloween episode is one of the ten episodes. It's gonna be a horribly short season  BUT from what I understand they already are working on the next one so maybe we won't have to wait as...ah I couldn't even finish typing that because of how inherently untrue what I was about to type was.

Even as a kid when I was devouring anything [as] aired I could not get into that show for a second. But I had no idea how weird the cast was. Also the Eltingville pilot is fantastic and I mourn the fact that it didn't get picked up at least once a year when I rewatch it and reread all the comics.
