    The dual personality theory for knifebear was focused on it being the Brown Widow iirc?

    ...and of course, as always, Kill Hitler.

    If nothing else, it explains why Scare Bear took Hank to Dean’s dorm room.

    I love the character naming. For example, in O.S.I. Love You, Molotov had to kill the traitors in OSI. These included:

    Bum Rush and Junk Dog:

    Shuttlecock and Think Tank:

    Or how one of Mamma's Boys was the Maybe Man, who had an Indifference Engine (a pun on the difference engine), which later showed up in Season 7 as part of The Creep's collection.

    *edit* Pictures updated because the site I shared from wasn't displaying correctly.

    Well, fuck.

    As long as we're uploading clips, the first incarnation of Telltale Games put Brock into Poker Night at the Inventory 2, which was a poker simulator attached to dialog from five characters you had no idea you wanted to interact. This version had Brock, Ash from Evil Dead, Sam from Sam and Max, and Claptrap, with GLaDOS dealing. So damn fun.

    What is the point of putting Ash in the game if you're not going to get Bruce Campbell to voice him?

    Yeah, that was weird. Everyone thought that was a sign Telltale was going to do an Evil Dead game, but then they turned around and made a Borderlands game (which was possibly the best game they ever made next to Wolf Among Us).

    I assume it is pumped using some sort of electrical system since it's obviously not directly from a well. I suppose life support would include the toilets and water.

    Disposing of the water after the shower may be somewhat more problematic though, seeing as how the drain is now on the wall.

    The Youtube cocktail channel, How to Drink, put up an episode about three of the nightmarish cocktails seen in the Venture Bros as a bit of a sendoff. Keeping these drinks down definitely seems to be a struggle:

    That's what Brock Samson said it was, and he's the most likely to murder a person with a knife for calling him a liar.
    And, really, who would know better than Brock?

    Part of the joke about what a 'Rusty Venture' is is that it keys you in to how that particular character views Rusty and their relationship with him.

    Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.

    So there are talks about a special.

    Fortunately there's not many things they have to resolve -- really just
    bring Hank back and deal with Rusty and Malcolm being brothers.

    But man, either of those things could be stretched out for a fascinating season.

    There's also the upcoming war between the Peril Partnership and the Guild, likely with the OSI having to get involved. That'd also be a good time for them to resolve the "Molotov as a double agent for the OSI" plotline that's from season.. five? Good grief"

    That interview makes me even more sad about it's cancellation.

    You've got these two artists who just clicked and made this completely original vision on their own terms over seventeen years to be just cut loose.

    Was the show really that expensive? Given how two guys were writing and voicing almost everything I wonder how it ranks with other half an hour animation?

    Even more annoying how VB paved the way for Rick and Morty who just won two fucking Emmys.

    While Hammer and Publick do a lot of the heavy lifting, it probably just results in the show taking longer rather than being cheaper. There's still a ton of people involved in the production.

    I'd say Venture Bros. getting cancelled is a combination of the show being relatively expensive for Adult Swim (considering a bunch of its shows are made for cheap) and Warner Bros. going absolutely apeshit with cuts during the pandemic. Hell, just a week or so ago they announced even MORE cuts, with thousands slated to be laid off to cut costs by 20 percent.

    Honestly this makes me worried we'll see more great WB shows get cut, like Primal. (During its NYCC panel they insinuated the show's expensive.) Rick and Morty's probably fine though.

    Thats a big reason. Hulu has the streaming rights to Venture brothers for awhile and I assume WB wants it on Max. Ideally theyd just make a new show with a different name but I'm sure thats been considered
