Venture Bros. Marathon -- funniest damn thing on TV or not?
I've seen all of these episodes already, but they're still funny.

2. There's an interesting article on it on Wikipedia
The writers say it's all about failure. Dr. Venture was a successful boy adventurer, but he peaked at about age 15, now he's a failed super-scientist. The boys are failed boy adventurers. The Monarch is a failed arch villain and lost Dr. Girlfriend. Brock can't get past 2nd base with Molotov Cocktease, and it's implied that he's a failed secret agent. Even Jonas Venture failed when he was absorbed in the womb by Dr. Venture, and then failed to get revenge when he finally escaped.

4. Very little of AS these days.
ATHF sucks now, since the 4th season.

Most of their stuff looks like a crack-addicted six-year-old drew it.

Venture Brothers actually feels out of place as part of AS, to be honest!

6. ahhh..see, I still love it
It's probably the pot, but I still love it. Makes for a good couple of hours in bed snuggling with my SO, at the very least.

5. I love it!
I also love 12 oz. mouse, but I can't say exactly why. Maybe I'm just mesmerized by the little hula-hoop ghost. :P
