[Crickets?]

I recently mentioned Venture Bros. to a couple of friends and was shocked to learn that they had no idea what I was talking about! So here it is..... the Venture Bros.

Venture WHAT? When people think of adult cartoons, they mostly think of The Simpsons, Family guy, Futurama (future blog topic?), Beevis & Buthead, and South Park to name a few. But Venture Bros is relatively new to the scene, gracing our television sets in 2004. If you grew up in the 80's or 90's you know all about Saturday morning cartoons. Well this show pays tribute to some of the greatest. Scooby-doo, Johnny Quest, and references everything from Tekken, Star Wars and even had a lively discussion about whether Smurfs are Mammals or Insects. Venture Bros. will bring Nostalgia to all those who loved Cartoons growing up.

 





Venture WHO? The Venture Bros. follows the adventures of the Venture family. Thaddeus "Rusty" Venture is the patriarch who has issues with his past when he was a boy adventurer and child star. He has two sons, Dean & Hank, whom we find out are actually in their 16th incarnation as clones. Filling out the family is the bodyguard, Brock Sampson. I can't describe this guy, you have to see him to believe it. The only thing I will say about him is that he can even kill with his anus. The Venture Bros is filled with familiar yet new characters. This show has so many characters, but takes the time to explain all of them throughout the show. All of these characters fall into a cliche, but they are still unique.  But my favorites are #21 & #24 who are henchmen for the villian The Monarch.. These guys almost steal the show.

Henchmen 24 & 21

Venture BROS This show is more than a cartoon. The underlying themes in this show are very interesting to see unfold. The creators of the show mention that Failure is one of the biggest themes of the show, but I felt that a bigger theme is messed-up family relationships. The relationships between father and son, brother and brother, mother and son. Butterfly and child. Now, I can go on and on about this show but you guys just need to go out and watch it.
