Now it posts. It was stuck in neverwhere for like 3 hours.

Oh, so it's cuttlefish? Damn, and I thought that was the funniest line of the episode.

Nice to see my ignorance broadcast in... lots of duplicate posts.

Laminar · Jul 22, 2008, 10:01 AM

Well done.

ort888 · Jul 22, 2008, 10:28 AM

Saw this a day late... loved it! This season keeps getting better and better. I think this is topping season 2.

I really like when 21 (the fat one) is talking to Hank about his immortality.

Hank squints and says in a very serious (and very un-hank) manner "Why are you telling me this?"

Also, I am rooting for the murderous moppets to get killed, creepiest characters on the show, by far.

Dakar the Fourth · Jul 22, 2008, 12:06 PM

Creepy? Just annoying.

sek929 · Jul 22, 2008, 12:08 PM

Annoying + midgets + weird pupae costumes = Creeeeeee-py

Eriamjh · Jul 22, 2008, 12:10 PM

"So... yes to the strip club?"

Dr. Mrs. Monarch is so hot in that outfit!

Whatever, I smacked it for an hour to that mental picture.

sek929 · Jul 22, 2008, 12:22 PM

Another part I laughed out loud at.

Dean is trying to get helper to stop drumming. First helpers voice cuts out, then Dean says 'disable alarm functions' and just the blinking light turns off on his head.

Dakar the Fourth · Jul 22, 2008, 12:23 PM

I was really happy to see the speed suit. I had just been wondering about what happened to that line of thinking the other day.

Also, Brock's "son" sucks.

sek929 · Jul 22, 2008, 12:25 PM

Great character though, you notice even Hank cuts him off from talking about how cool he is after he tackles helper, as if Durmot's coolness is already wearing off on him.

ort888 · Jul 22, 2008, 12:26 PM

He's supposed to suck. I think that's the point. I agree that the schtick isn't that funny, but I'm willing to wait and see where they go with it. I have a feeling it's all leading to something.

I actually like the moppets, but they have had quite a bit of screentime this season. Probably too much.

We need a Brock episode. Not enough Brock.

Well, I mean as an entertaining character.

Agreed. I figured the fight with the saggy titted bodyguard might be legendary, but nooooo

Dakar the Fourth · Jul 23, 2008, 09:00 AM

I forgot to make this prediction a few episodes ago, and after las episode I fell it's still pretty likely... but I want to predict that a situation is manufactured where Doc Venture end up wanting/missing the Monarch as his arch.

On a side note, about the last episode, isn't it the Guild's fault that the Monarch killed Dr. Gugom? They are supposed to guard against "improperly matched animosity"

Dugong!

The reason why Monarch killed Dr. Dugong was that he pretended he was Dr. Venture. The match was improper, but in the wrong direction.
God, that made me feel like a Trekkie

Well, the guy was a complete weenis.

it's interesting to note that the Monarch isn't the complete failure of a villain he's been made out to be in the past.
I'm surprised anyone replied to my footnote. I felt pretty nerdy typing it up.

This week's shirt would be a great for the girlfriend.

Empty your PM box, weenis. Important things to discuss.

Dakar the Fourth · Jul 24, 2008, 12:56 PM

Oops. The limit is 80? Odd number.

Edit: Done.

Already ordered one for my Dr. Girlfriend.

Dakar the Fourth · Jul 24, 2008, 01:55 PM

Does she like the show, or is this just to enhance the chances you'll jump her bones at any given moment?

sek929 · Jul 24, 2008, 02:10 PM

Heh, no she really loves the show. We discovered it at the same time.

Since we both have to work so early on Mondays we've been forced to watch the new season separately and then talk about it on Monday...kinda like this thread.

Score.

That's kinda sad.

sek929 · Jul 24, 2008, 02:34 PM

I know, but fullscreen Adult Swim video is so piss poor it's almost a crime to see the new episodes first that way.

Dakar the Fourth · Jul 24, 2008, 02:36 PM

Well, it's not even that. I'd go on reduced sleep.

sek929 · Jul 24, 2008, 02:48 PM

Well she'd be the one driving home at 12, not me, so I'm ok with it.

Dakar the Fourth · Jul 24, 2008, 02:51 PM

Tell her to suck it up!

The being tired the next day, that is.

pooka · Jul 24, 2008, 05:03 PM

By clarifying were you intentionally hinting at filth?

iMOTOR · Jul 28, 2008, 04:24 AM

Did anyone else notice that Stephen Colbert wasn’t doing the voice for Prof. Impossible?

Dakar the Fourth · Jul 28, 2008, 09:32 AM

http://jacksonpublick.livejournal.com/19560.html

One sour note from the past month (aside from my car getting hit yet again) is that Mr. Stephen Colbert has decided not to reprise his role as Professor Impossible this season, 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. We figured this would happen eventually, considering his monumental success in the years since our first season, but we held out hope that the WGA strike would leave him with enough bored free time on his hands that he'd have a go at it. But after getting shuffled around from his assistant to his assistant's assistant to his agent to his manager, one of them finally shot us an email saying: "Stephen has neither the time nor the interest in participating in your project."

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! Or your book. Unless someone buys it for me for Christmas.

osiris · Jul 28, 2008, 09:52 AM

It appears as though Mr. Colbert is in need of a little visit by some highly influential friends.

Dakar the Fourth · Jul 28, 2008, 10:43 AM

Another great episode, BTW. The dialogue on the X1 at the end killed me.

This week's T is tempting.

sek929 · Jul 28, 2008, 12:22 PM

I know I say this every week but "Best episode of the new season so far!"

Hilarious, to many jokes to name. As usual, I was almost falling asleep by the time it was on, so another viewing is in order.

Colonel Gentleman really stole the show for me. Although the first big battle scene was classic Venture Brothers, I almost died when the giant man (now the tiny man) burst through the wall and starting battling the robot.

Jul 28, 2008, 12:47 PM

Didn't see last night's eppy yet but last weeks - best of the season and one of my faves ever. I'm very glad I didn't give up on watching!

sek929 · Jul 28, 2008, 12:48 PM

I urge to you watch the new episode asap!

ort888 · Jul 28, 2008, 01:19 PM

I missed it last night because we had a stupid power outage. Luckily my TiVo caught the 2am repeat.

The bad news is that I won't have time to watch it until tomorrow. Meh.

I hate power outages...

iMOTOR · Jul 28, 2008, 03:01 PM

A lot of nudity in this episode.

Dakar the Fourth · Jul 28, 2008, 03:03 PM

Yeah, no kidding. Another gag they're slowing beating the life out of.

Big Mac · Jul 28, 2008, 03:09 PM

Yesterday's episode was really good, but I don't know if it's the best so far. It was certainly a shock to see the return of Col. Gentleman.

But somehow, not nearly as irritating as the reemergence of the two pirates Brock killed with his ass.

osiris · Jul 28, 2008, 03:24 PM

Well, it was a bit of a reunion.

Dakar the Fourth · Jul 28, 2008, 03:25 PM

Hey, I don't know how things work in your world, but when Brock kills someone with his ass, I expect them to stay dead.

osiris · Jul 28, 2008, 03:33 PM

Maybe they are impostors? I smell something here, and it ain't Brock's ass.

sek929 · Aug 4, 2008, 12:30 PM

Yet another great episode last night.

Highlights include the Ghost Pirate Captain getting hooked on tranquilizer darts, the entire #21, #24 and #1 sub-plot, and the mysterious OSI agents in black witty back and forth banter.

"I like the cut of this guy's jib"
"I like the cut of his hair"

Thoughts?

Brien · Aug 4, 2008, 01:01 PM

I think the best parts of the episode were him getting hooked on those darts and freaking out when he was going through withdrawal.

mdc · Aug 4, 2008, 01:02 PM

The scene in the underwater area with #21, #24, and #1 had me laughing out loud.

ort888 · Aug 4, 2008, 01:11 PM

Weird that they had two Jonas Jr. episodes in a row... but I thought this one was good. I didn't think the Voltron spoof really went anywhere interesting, but I loved how Jonas just kicked the Monarchs ass with no effort. Pretty good stuff.

One more standalone episode and then a two part finale. I like where they are going...
