I'm thinking you have to let the little stuff slide for this show, because they make it on a shoestring budget. Yeah, St. Cloud sounds like Hank and he's just a background character they used because they already drew him. But the re-using of drawings and voices allows them the freedom to make a show that gets beat in ratings by reruns of "American Dad." The show doesn't get great ratings, so I say whatever works.

I'm swiftly moving toward a solution which pleases nobody! YEAGGH!
I wouldn't be surprised if Jackson does the voice of St. Cloud not just to save money/casting time but because he did the voice while he and Doc came up with the character anyway. By the time they were going to the recording booth he was already the guy.

I can't believe people still expect massive show changing twists from the same people that brought you 'O.R.B.'

The show is really just about making fun of the various cliches of saturday morning cartoons, so the only real twist would be if it suddenly would get serious about anything.

To be fair about the complaining, it seems that Publick has reached his 'breaking point', so to speak : St-Cloud sounds like Hank with a slower voice, Cheetah-Man sounded a lot like The Monarch, Hatred sounded a lot like Hunter at one point (although it may have been the music). Publick has two ot three times more credits than any other voice actor every episode for a reason, but even his range is starting to wear a bit thin.

"Victor Echo November" and the last few minutes of the "Operation P.R.O.M." are really the only times anything ever got serious, and coincidentally, they're thought of as among, if not the best episodes they've done.

Hatred's been there for ... maybe a year? Brock was their bodyguard for nearly two decades.

It also seemed that he cared more about his friendship with Rusty then he did about the boys. While Hatred seems to just tolarate Rusty and really cares for Dean and Hank.

Nope, it's just a 10 minute Behind the Music-style special they put out. Doc and Jackson wanted to make the music video, but the network wouldn't let them make something they couldn't air/sell adspace on, so they made the whole special around it. I think it's perfect though.

I never really think about this, but it's one of the thing I miss most about Brock. I love when he goes all murder machine or when he's dealing with Hank, but that seems to happen anyway when he shows up these days. I really miss him and Rusty playing off each other and Brock's range of emotions from disgusted at Doc to downright chummy. Someone posted it a couple pages back, but I love when they start cracking up about their moustaches while telling Orpheus about the clones.

Actually I guess I love Brock being lighthearted no matter who he's with. Him and Hunter counting cows was always one of my favorites and just hearing him yell "Spanakopita!" in the last episode made me all giddy.

Hatred once said to the boys that they were more fragile than what they're used to, so I guess Rusty filled him in on that.

I sort-of disagree with this, he seems to like hanging out with Doc too. The main difference I've noticed is that Hatred tends to stand up more than Brock did on the little things, like the Halloween treats.

Haha, yeah I loved how he interrupts Hatred when he hears where they are to happily bellow,"SPANAKOPITA! :haw:" down the line.

The boys didn't want to be involved, which is sad since it seems like one of the few times that everybody in the family is genuinely happy.

Doc and Hatred almost have a married couple relationship. Hatred's breasts kind of help with that image.

You know, they really should explain how St. Cloud went from a non-affected "ooh, girly mags" in Tag Sale and the Quizboys flashback to his current voice by saying that he suffered from an acute bout of "excess smugness" in his teenage years. That or he tried to have his voice altered to sound like Hank's so he could crack the Venture Compound's voice recognition systems and steal some one-of-a-kind items, and something went horribly wrrrrrronnngggg because his surgeon wasn't a frrrriennnd.

Venture Bros. Season 1 has a lot of threads that have been dropped and forgotten, discussed earlier. I don't think they need to explain anything about St. Cloud.

If you're talking about the game show scene in The Invisible Hand of Fate, I don't think that kid is St. Cloud. His name is Todd and he doesn't look or sound anything like the adult St. Cloud. I assume St. Cloud lost to Billy on a previous episode of Quizboys and after Billy got caught cheating St. Cloud assumed that's why he lost and always held a grudge.
