They tried to throw us off with the strange variant opening scene. They even provided a list of Hank and Dean theories after the first sighting. But I always kind of suspected…
[VENTURE BROS. SPOILERS FOLLOW!!!]
I loved the History of Hank and Dean Demises scene. It was brilliant.
Their re-installed memories explains some of their erratic, idiotic behavior.
I like the introduction and departure of the Hadji-inspired character. (But what was up with the brain-mush boxing character?)
Overall, Season 2 kicked off with a bang. Every bit as quality as the first season. It took them long enough, though.
This one of the few shows out there that has a sense of humor that falls almost perfectly in line with my own. Add my nerdy Saturday-morning Johnny Quest nostalgia, killer writing, razor-sharp pop culture references and Brock Samson, and you get The Venture Bros., the world’s most perfect adult-humor cartoon.
Followed closely by Family Guy.
You hit the nail on the head. I got this episode via the adult swim fix (webcast) and have watched it about 4 times so far. I think the opening segment alone outdoes the entire first season.
The bit from “Hungry like the Wolf” & the rave scene caused the most massive laughter at anything I’ve ever seen on television.
This is also incidentally the second time today I’ve happened across your blog via orblogs. Keep up the great work!
i still haven’t seen the first episode.
i caught the second one, but you need to send me the first one. i can’t find it anywhere.
