The Republican Party would not eat my face because it is too poor. Now, The Leopards Eating People's Faces Party, THEY sound like they would totally be down to eat my face. They understand that a face is a face, and will usher in a new era of faceless equality that will last forever because we will never see the end of it because we will not have a face.

I meant that, as a family feud video, it has an obligation to reveal what the survey said for the answers given, and it did not provide such for all the responses. It is therefore, an inferior video.

And because the internet is horrible at distinguishing between real and joke opinions because of some bastard named poe, I was not being that serious in my initial response. I fully get that the intended thrust of the video is on Harvey's slow descent into madness when confronted by the folks he has to deal with.

I wonder how technical they'll get with the 'gravity of your home planet' rules.

Like, imagine if someone was born in space and gained zero g freedom due to that.

Or howabout 'planet vegeta no longer exists, and thus, does not have a gravity'. It would be like Wile E. Coyote walking off a cliff, but inverted.

(although, if I were to bet, if this came into play, it would only be for Goku to declare Earth his home planet for the 10x gravity -> 1x gravity minor power boost at some critical moment)

If we can make the Wall solar-powered, maybe we can do that for the coal mines to make them more energy-efficient.

I think we're looking at this all wrong. Instead of scraping by on already used up light from the sun, we should set up mining rigs directly on the surface and mine solar coal. The sun is so big that this would create infinity coal jobs and solve energy problems forever.

S5E8: The Devil's Grip

I guess Rusty's going to HFIL, then. Good odds on getting some followup on the Investors, I bet.

The Venture Bros, in the meantime, get new homes with the older venture crew.

Oh...he's still alive.

...how?

"What can I tell you, I spend most of my childhood in a supersonic jet" I am starting to wonder if Rusty does not have some kind of 'slightly better than normal survivabliity' superpower. Nice reference to kidneys though, boy that takes me back.

Beautiful scene with Rusty and The Monarch getting some bonding time after several unsuccessful tortures and a lack of rescuers. The crushing weight of their reality zapping all the joy of their adventurous roles.

I almost forgot this was the season ending episode, it was fairly normal Venture stuff until Uncle Vatred bust out the tank.

"Who the **** is Gary?"

Post credit, the Clone biz fiiiiiiinally comes out, and it wasn't such a big deal in Hank's view, surprise surprise. In true Venture Bros. fashion, everything gets shook up a bit while not fully being resolved.

S5E7: Bot Seeks Bot

I want to say that the only good clown is a dead clown, but this one is dead, and it still isn't very good. Kudos to the show for combining the two elements of 'clown' and 'funeral' though, that's definitely a niche pick. Funeral March clown style was a highlight of the scene.

Vendata seems to be the focus of this episode...his V hat makes me think Venture, I wonder if they'll comment on that.

...three seconds later, it is revealed that Venture Industries built him.

Meanwhile, the poor tech dude is desperately trying to not look at classified intel. Until he's forced to look at a cra...guildlist ad for romance. I see where this episode is heading, blah.

Ghost Robot gets some more screen time, and at least we get some more Council gags. They're always good for a laugh. "I'm on the moon!" *is right next to everyone next scene* indeed.

...ok, I admit, I didn't think robot date would be great, but this pretty quickly exceeded expectations. One doesn't eat, and the other only eats a special paste, negating the whole premise of dining out. Ghost Robot can even do a wink by blinking one of his eye lights...I love that way more than I should.

"Gasp. It is true." I will never tire of robot voice.

And so the day is saved by The Monarch and Guild Law...did not see that coming at all.

Speaking of not seeing coming...



Yup...

Even when something is clearly set up, this show is still a master at ensuring it will turn out contrary to expectations. Like, I assumed that the gag might have been that it wouldn't drop because it always drops in everything else, but then WHAM. Right in the Venture. Even with Brock's 'what's the monarch gonna do' statement. Amazing.

Dee had just about had enough of Short's not-so-subtle threatening attitude. She secretly draws up some mud from the ground, keeping it hidden in her lower body ready to be flung out at Short's eyes at a moment's notice should she feel Short is making any action against her. As further precaution, she will start sending a tendril down hidden in the mud that could lead to either an offensive surprise attack/feint, or a defensive escape.

"That is so interesting!" Dee will comment on Short's ability. Can you do it again so soon after using it against the Mud Golem? And do you have to be a demon to use that ability, or maybe just have the soul of a demon?" Dee looks genuinely curious, though she is not feeling very cute right now, so the effect might be diminished.

"This is as good a spot as any to settle things, it would not do to have us go any deeper only to be stabbed in the back. Perhaps we can come to some understanding?"

What happens next, Dee will let Short decide...

S5E6: Momma's Boys

This might just be the most stupidly normal episode yet. Landline conversations, Teddy Ruxpin misinterpretation by Rusty, all adding up to pretty normal family drama except this is not a normal family so it is kinda weird. Do clones even really count as family?

Dean's explanation of how not-that-crazy Rusty's actions are via highlighting various events we've witnessed over the seasons was a delight.

More 21 can only make this episode more better.

...is 21 being serious here? Is the episode really gonna sell the person behind the voice of Ruxpin as a supervillain XD

...I don't even care any more what this episode is about, can the rest of it just be Hank Hank and his crew of definitely criminals describing themselves?

Or Dean's possible mother could be in the episode, at once raising the stakes and also possibly leading to creepytown.

This episode aired on or around Mother's Day 2012, didn't it...

Orpheus too! Dermott has venture brother presence according to Big O.

Priceless look on Hatred's face when confronted by the real Ted, just when he was going to admit the truth about that one abduction that happened that one time.

It really is weird to have Dermott confirmed as technically a Venture. I still don't really care for him as a character, and now there will undoubtedly be more of him to come.

And how the bloomin' hell can they understand Helper? XD

How do you start a horse gangbang like that? Do you advertise on Craigslist? I suppose it wouldn't be a good idea to explicitly advertise it, so they would use a code. Is there an accepted standard horse fucking cypher? Did they join a club? Work on the same farm? Did one guy just ask random people on the street?

So many unanswered questions.

It had a solid flow to it, so much so that it was over before I knew it. It might not have been the wittiest episode, but it had a hefty amount of heart. Poor Rusty...

S5E5: O.S.I. Love You

A romance plot with Brock featuring a followup to last season's cliffhanger's cliff hanger plot threads now with more boat.

Show's also playing around with nonlinear storytelling, begging the viewer to ask questions like 'how did the face cut happen' or 'how did a simple capture get messed up? and for what reasons?'

My money is on all of the answers being 'Molotov'.

"Only now he doesn't die when he jumps off the roof" You know, there really has been an unusual amount of male/female intersections outside the norm throughout the show. Hank in that suit, Hatred with two boob shaped problems, Dr. Ms. The Monarch's voice/body, and vast amounts of Hunter's storyline. Just one of those things that can more easily happen with cartoons, I suppose.

Speaking of blurred lines, howabout this conversation mixing that has been carefully crafted to make sense despite all reason not to. Some casual misdirection thrown in too, because why not?

Why hello there, minority report.

Also, gotta say, Molotov has improved so much from her first appearances. The running around in underwear doesn't hurt either.

Speaking of hurt...Hank has destroyed The Nozzle.

Somehow, I did not foresee the stealing of the suit....there was even the golden fortune too (and even a different golden character earlier for misleading purposes).

....ok, so the suit into the turbine was way too obvious, but the investors sure did pull a fast one on me. What a way to end the episode. They even had the goofy third tagging along as a newbie. These guys mean business, a clear contender for 'most competent villain' with only Phantom Limb able to put up a fight. Although, less villain, and more doing what is needed to get their job done, whatever their job actually was. Even as they reveal themselves more, I realize they are still largely an enigma. I expect to see more of them eventually.

S5E4: Spanakopita

It is the little things that make this show what it is...like Hank still wearing that countess getup XD

(all commentary from this point on will be replaced with Spanakopita!)

Spanakopita!

Spanakopita! Spanakopita!

Spanakopita!

Spana...ok, you get the idea. I get the idea. We all get the idea!

Still, this might be the most menacing St Cloud's been yet. I almost might be able to overlook his voice if he keeps going the way he is.

And if the women's kids' hair color is any indication, Rusty isn't the only Venture member whose had fun on this island.

...and then the animation suddenly changed o__o

Billy's got some crazy higher dimensional dreams going on. Yet only some of the people are rendered so. It really is quite surreal, and I am not sure I've seen a blending quite like it.

The rest of the episode is pretty normal by Venture Bros standards. There IS no Spanakopita, I kinda had a feeling. Somehow this grew into a fond memory for Rusty...is that because he really did have fun, or does it just shine in comparison to all the other stuff he's been forced through.

The rising sun bit was well done too...Albino = Vampire for sure.

Hot temperatures that are on track to only get hotter are probably my #1 reason I am glad I moved northward. Plus, thanks to the way climate works, Oregon has a sort of soft Mediterranean thing going on such that it doesn't even get murderously cold in winter.

Woah a new Oregon b8er? Or have you been here awhile? I thought there was only a couple of us.

I've been up here for a bit over a year now. So I've seen a full cycle of seasons. I particularly liked how my area did actually get a bit of snow that stuck for a while, and the locals were saying how unusual that was.

That gate lore sounds pretty interesting to me. Someone should really install a thing recognizer on them, as well as a dimension bypass, that way both angels and demons could get to their homes without fear. Maybe install a one way power limiter too so that entering into the human world doesn't lead to Armageddon with endless angel/demon fights.

Can someone tell me how the devil they pulled off a "the planet/tournament is gonna explode/start in 5 minutes/any second now"? And in 2 episodes, no less? A disturbing amount of Frieza arc parallels all throughout this episode, it is unreal.

And that Piccolo/17 handshake has not been talked about nearly enough.

S5E3: SPHINX Rising

Sounds like we're in for some 21 focus. Bring it!

Strong opening...poor 21 trying to be a hero, but flubbing it up some. He's basically a main character with credentials like that (also, wtf kind of name for a crime group is Long Division? I mean, I know many people who would consider math the enemy, but not literally!)

"READY THE ACID MAGNET" Even with about .5 seconds to process 21's juuuust said before this comment, who didn't expect this from The Monarch?

"JETTISON THE LUNCHROOM!" I am supremely enjoying 21 narrating this encounter.

Or 'Viceroy' as he seems to prefer being called now. You're a riot, 21. Hank's 200% on board with it though, he was in SPHINX once too, y'know! His record speaks for itself!

Scooby-doo mask scene with The Monarch and Dr. His Wife is weird, the visuals still...match their voices way too well, it is creeping me out.

I wasn't really feeling the whole Destiny gag, but then Hank bursts into the scene in a golden female egyptian ninja getup, and kinda forces me to acknowledge how all-in they went on setting that up.

"Totally forgot it was a strength suit" I was gonna comment on how Hank spent all episode just posing in that rather than doing anything (a kind of commentary of the role of women in the kinds of shows this is spoofing), but then this happened. Such a Hank move.

Monarch has found a photo of him as a kid playing with baby Rusty. I smell a revisit to his origin story. Good heavens that was eons ago.

Interesting how Brock just decides maybe 21 is cool enough to have this...murder weapon that would be evidence in court. I am trying to parse if that was meant to be a setup, or if Brock thinks 21 getting credit for wiping out SPHINX Commander would be a net positive.

It all wraps up with explosionsx2. Poor floating SPHINX HQ, you will be missed.
