I love the commentaries explained the weird drinks that Dean is always having. I had heard Bodego mentioned on Brooklyn 99 but had no idea they carried that brand of pop.

Bodega is a general term for shady little corner markets, it's not a soft drink brand.

They're named after the Briton queen who fought the Romans

The kind of store that's a nice and pleasant place to stop and grab a soda and some smokes or whatever, but pay cash.

Doc Hammer owns a ghost that cleans his cat's litter box. At least that's what I remember from the commentaries, but I might be wrong.

So I realized that when Phantom Limb escapes the Guild's dungeon, it was because the Sovereign was helping him. When Chuck and the rest escape the file cabinet, its like "wait, are they real?" but once you see what happens later, it makes sense.

Presumably it went something like: Doc Hammer: Hey Stephen, we're doing a Venture movie-thing. Are you okay with voicing Professor Impossible for it? Stephen Colbert: Sounds good. Just schedule it with my agent and I'll pop by and record my dialogue. Doc Hammer: Thanks, see you then.

Stephen Colbert may not have anyone to put words in his mouth right now, but that doesn't he has time for your rinky-dink cartoon show: Venture Bros. creator Jackson Publick has caused a minor stir on some of the geekier blogs out there (hey, like this one!) with the news that Colbert has declined to reprise his voiceover role as" Professor Impossible" in the show's upcoming season. Although he noted that he expected this to happen "for reasons which probably have something to do with him being all super-famous, super-busy, and no longer in need of a few hundred bucks here and there," Publick says that the final brush-off was the unkindest cut of all: an email he received from one of Colbert's many assistants saying, "Stephen has neither the time nor the interest in participating in your project." On his own blog, Publick responded, "Was the 'nor the interest' really necessary? I would have bought the 'time' part without question, but man…you gotta kick a guy when he's down like that? Well maybe I'm not interested in your ice cream, mister!" ... http://www.avclub.com/article/iventure-brosi-vs-stephen-colbert-10098

Besides, it's not like he's trying to slip anything past the boys at that point. He wants everyone to notice his hickey.

That chode she's with, that's Phantom Limb. When he was in college, he was a scrawny little wuss. In a desperate attempt to be cooler than guys like me, he had his 12-year-old roommate create a machine that speeds up the muscle building process. The machine worked so well that every molecule in his extremities was accelerated beyond the speed of light. There were two side effects. One! He could mess up a guy just by touching him. And two! He became a humorless dick!

SRM posted:I love mein job! You said it, killer! And you can read more about it in the Bible! Not only do I always hear Killenger's voice and accent when I see or write a quote of his, but I imitate that voice when I say the actual quotes. The same thing happens with Sgt. Hatred, as a matter of fact. And to a lesser degree, Dr. Orpheus. (And St. Cloud.)

IIRC Colbert actually wanted to do the voice and it was just an assistant fuckup. By the time he found out they already had the other guy doing it. He came back when he could.
