Fan: My question is actually for you, Jackson. What is it like to work with Chris McCulloch? Doc: I can tell ya what that’s like. Jackson: Yeah, Doc can speak better to that. Doc: Let me tell ya this, have you ever woken up from a dream and your midsection says it was a good one? 24/7, my friend. You don’t know why it’s good but it’s just good. Maybe it’s just airing itself out. But it’s not, it’s Chris McCulloch and it’s a dream.
This fan was my dumb friend, Brian, making a dumb joke while dressed as Brick Frog. It got me up close and personal with Jackson, and I had a momentary minute of glee.
Fast forward to a month later, at the NYCC panel. On behalf of our dumb friend Brian I say the following:
Fan: Jackson, I have an apology for you from Brick Frog at Dragon*con; for his lame [ass] question.
Your attempt to be happy is failure, Entertaining is your fucking jailer, Rave for masses, commercial inhaler, Stand back and seat as your unicorn’s dying here. (с) Dead Unicorn, Little Big
adult swim/venture bros enthusiasts will be like “seasons 1 and 2 of venture bros are sooo bad they’re so cringe to look back on” do you practice no nuance… have you no appreciation for the nostalgia value… some aspects of the early seasons have aged poorly yes but more than anything they’re enjoyable for entirely different reasons than the post-s3 era episodes and are to be appreciated in different ways. the show was brand new and just finding its footing in both its humor and its worldbuilding and honestly the resulting episodes are still to this day some of the most memorable to me
The first seasons are not cringe. Some things are kinda not great about them but they are still great to watch.
Venture Bros Flying cocoon playset. 30" tall with 4 decks of the dreaded cocoon where the most action takes place (including the bedroom). -Throne room and control center -Master bedroom -Engine room with anti-matter generator and super conductors -Holding cell
Anti-gravity boosters light up and the “big screen” Monarch monitor is a wireless media player.
Venture Bros. production art being given away at the special season 5 premiere screening at Cinemaworld. I’m glad we got a little mix of episodes though 2 are from Cremation Creek.
Premiere screening is held at 7 locations nationwide, 5 of which being Alamo Draft houses. Visitwww.venturebrosblog.com for all the locations.
Venture Bros is my comfort show. Like… I feel so calm watching it. It’s so funny, the characters are so relatable, the underlying theme of life is incredibly difficult and you will most likely fail at everything you do but that’s the point?? To fail! And to be okay with failing? Yes please
There was a moment in my life where I talked like Pete White for a year whenever I got fustrated with someone, it wasn’t even just me doing the voice, I incorporated his vocabulary into my daily vocabulary. I never called anyone ‘Pally’ in my life till I watched Venture Bros. I used to mimic him, Saint Cloud and Colonel Gentleman a lot, especially when I was mad, you’d just hear me say shit like
“Ah geeze, thanks a fuckin’ lot pally.”
“That’s what you get, fuckbuouy.”
“Jesus fockin chrischt it’s hot as bawls.”
It’s just a thing that happens whenever I watch a show, I end up speaking like a certain character or characters until I watch a new show. I don’t know why I do it or why it happens. Sometimes I don’t even know I’m doing it unless someone points it out that I’m talking weird or when I feel like I said something in a weird way but don’t know how.
I also do it with Metalocalypse characters too, mostly Pickles, Murderface, Toki, Skwisgaar, Nathan, Charles and Dr Rockso.
No but really it is very timeless. You can drop in anywhere in the show and it seems like it’s modern day. I think it’s because the Ventures were very sheltered in the way that the very wealthy celebrity are? They lived on their compound, travelled around the world frequently but never really talked with others or got close with them? They were isolated in their own bubble.
Never before seen Venture Bros. artwork! From the earliest sketches of Hank and Dean scribbled in a notebook to pitching the series to Cartoon Networks Adult Swim, learning the ins and outs of animation, character designs for each season, storyboards, painted backgrounds, and behind-the-scenes recollections of how the show came together its all here.
