Venture Brothers
So a friend of mine has got me watching a new cartoon. It’s called Venture Brothers. I’d never heard of this show before but he said that I might like it. He said that it has the feel of an older cartoon, like Jonny Quest, Rocket Robinhood, Spider-Man and little Scooby-Doo and he knows that I dig that kind of stuff.
To be honest I wasn’t so sure I was going to like it but I found that with in two or three episodes, I was hooked. I found that the show really plays off the ridiculousness that those classic cartoons showed off as serious. Plus the show seems really put together. I was impressed at how much consistency they have put in to this cartoon. They set up things in early episodes that they totally follow up on in later ones and make it a major plot point, which you don’t see that often in cartoons.
In short… I really like this cartoon and I too recommend it fans of the older cartoons of yesteryear. It’s fun and stupid and unlike anything you’ve seen before. Now if you’ll excuse me… I should try and draw a picture of Dr. Girlfriend. ^_^
This art from the season 1 box is so boss I just had to show it too.

Yeah, ‘Venture Brothers’ been playing on Adult Swim for years. It is pretty much a dig at old cartoons like Johnny Quest. I love the insane amount of pop culture references they make in the show.

I love The Venture Bros.! Unfortunately, it comes on way past my bedtime…. So, I only get to enjoy it on the days when I get to stay up late. Probably could find an online source for it, but I’m internet unsavvy (mostly).

Oh, and P.S. I caught Adult Swim the other night, and they had a blurb in-between shows on the Chinese faux-vagina/mushroom story. Thought it was funny that you and they both found something in common to post on.
