Hah, yeah, that was great! Speaking of twists... I was expecting the Momma's Boys logo but NOPE! Even better!

This one will probably go to my brother as well.
So who wants to bet that Hank is going to find out that he is a clone at the end of this season? Along with rediscovering that he lost his virginity to his best friend/half brothers mum? So if last season finale led to Dean growing up, do you guys think that this one will lead Hank to grow up?

Keep going!
PS: Jefferson Twilight is actually voiced by an actor named Charles Parnell doing a pretty good impression though your ears did not deceive you regarding H. Jon Benjamin!

No he didn't. He saw that Doc got a 15 year old pregnant but he doesn't know who the baby is. He didn't see it's name and he doesn't know what the mother is doing now.

Well he "knows" both of his parents. He just doesn't know that his sister is really his mother, and that his "mother" is really his grandmother.
Honestly, I feel like that is a concern of deans and why he was reaching out to Myra. Though his encounter with what's his face the other scientist Ben in the Halloween episode says differently.

There was a fan theory back during Season 1 that Dean was a clone of Rusty, and Hank was a clone of Brock.
and personality wise that kinda makes sense. until you see how strong brocks genetics are.

That and the fact that we see during the end flashback in Invisible Hand that they were already born by the time Brock got there.
Plus Ben back in the Halloween special said to Dean that they have a mom and dad.
Finally caught up... whew
I fucking love the Venture Bros, it's hands down one of my favorite shows of all time. There's a bunch of things I want to say but i'll keep it short:
-Doc is still a bitch (though he definitely has his reasons)
-Dean is actually a good character now (he's just now realized his life is complete & utter shit. His character resonates with me now)
-Hank's hair from early season 4 was amazing
-Hatred is fucking terrible and disgusting, I really hate him
-Brock is the personification of god
-The Venture Bros universe is awesome
-Doctor Orpheus is the best character
-Triana's friend giving up being a supervillain is a crime
GO TEAM VENTURE!

I disagree, I like Sgt. Hatred. He was better in season 4, but I like him in season 5 as well.

It's funny but when he had the long hair, I missed his short hair. Now he has short again, I miss his long hair

Are you telling me you hate Hatred?
metsallica
Member
Yeah, seriously. He's so earnest... He messes up a lot, he's got his demons, but he's so damn likable. You just want him to succeed, unlike most of the people on the show who deserve their failures.
Hatred is has boobs and has become their mother. Dr. Freud, paging Dr. Freud.

I realised why Im feeling that so many episode are falling flat this season.
The double ep premier gave the guys more room to tell a story. The 22mins mins including intro and credits, make the show all build up and very fast resolution.
I was hoping for more with the SPHINX ep, and it just stopped on a dime
Still one of the best shows on tv of course.

Yea, it's super obvious. I was actually gonna type up a post about how while Brock might be great at killing things/being awesome, he was a poor influence/fit for the boys. Hatred is just a lot better at nurturing and child rearing.
If the big theme of earlier seasons was failure then the show seems to have switched gears a bit to say that in that failure you might find your true calling (or re-find). Failing upward in a sense. Upward here meaning finding happiness, success and fulfillment on a personal level. Hatred and child rearing, you have Monarch being a poor "villain" but a good husband, Brock in place that suits him etc.
I can't stand Hatred (they introduced him as a goddamn pedophile) and he hasn't improved. I find him to be an irritating character who negatively impacts my viewing experience with his bullshit. It's disappointing that out of the near limitless amount of fantastic Venture Bros. characters, they decided to give my least favorite character a significant amount of exposure.

I can't really think of any character in the show that I dislike.
ItAintEasyBeinCheesy
it's 4th of July in my asshole
I feel like the theme this go around is 'trying'.
I don't know the monarch is surely the most inept character in the show and he's a terrible husband, plus hes still under the idea that 21 is still wirking for him. He's even worst as villain, and as a character, his only redeeming quality is being married to Dr. Girlfriend. Don't get me wrong I love all the characters, I'm just looking at this from a character trait stand point.
I keep hope that 21 kills the moppets.

How is Monarch a horrible husband? He genuinely loves his wife, he LISTENS to her advice and they have a healthy sex life. Dr. Girlfriend doesn't do anything she doesnt want to/isn't apart of anything she doesn't want to be. The only thing he hasn't really heard her on is with 21 but I feel pretty confident that's probably some foreshadowing about 21 rejoining the fold.

Oh god, it's like listening to Billy Quizboy and Pete White. I know they do like 90% of the voices but its still throwing me off.
I had a huge grin that moment, as I wasn't expecting much anime references, especially not something like Zoids.
Oh, and the Genos were much better than the Ligers.
He's incredibly selfish he hasn't done one thing to help Dr. Girlfriend. When she wanted to arch for herself the monarch got all bitchy.
Yeah his Viceroy talk in the recent episode was pretty creepy.
I'm with you on this. I absolutely hate the moppets, I really really hope that they kill them off before the end of the series
Ive never heard anyone say anything good about the moppets. The only time I've laughed at them was when the monarch and dr girlfriend told them off. I'm still hoping 21 ends up killing them for slowly driving him even more insane over a year.

He might need to comprise a little more but I still don't believe that if he's as bad as you're making him out to be, she would stay with him. That's not like Dr. Girlfriend at all. She knows how to put her foot down. I don't see her being as sweet and patient as she has been (especially this season's premiere with the plan) with him if he was some how a horrible husband and never gave her something she enjoyed.
I'm not saying there isn't love but it is almost nonsensical that she seems very capable, I mean Brock status and she's with the Monarch, professionally and romantically.

Good shit. Stuff like this is always informative and fun. Thanks!
The verbal smackdown the monarch delivered to them in season 4 was incredible.
Only two episodes to go.
What a bummer. I feel like we're just getting into the thick of the season.
Not sure how everything will tie up but I'm sure it will be great.
And there's still that feature length episode in-between season 5 and 6 to look forward to! Or has that been shelved?

The short season is making the complete absense of the Monarch and Dr. Orpheus all the more pronounced. I really really wish we could see Dr. O again.

He was in "Momma's Boys."
We've seen both of them this season.

The 60min special was canceled so they could work on season 6 sooner.
Yeah. The season is almost over and it feels like nothing has really happened yet.

This season's only plot is finally getting rid of Sphinx and making the tease about the monarchs parents.
Also, I always fucking loved the moppets but I really dislike St Cloud.
