I wanted to put together a compilation video to help encourage more people to watch / stream Venture bros. So enjoy 10 straight out of context minutes with Pete and Billy arguing.

Clips are from season 1-7

I wanted to do a Venture Bros. Screenshot redraw :) this is from S4E8! (I referenced multiple frames when making this so I just picked the one closest to the final drawing.)

1995ish 22-year-old Billy dazzled by a vintage “The Rusty Venture Show" lunchbox being used as a purse (sacrilege!) by a riot grrrl video store clerk who found it at a thrift store.

Most of the 1990s happened in gross diners or coffee shops. Just look at the films of Quentin Tarantino or any episode of Seinfeld. It's a historical fact!

Just a dumb idea I had. Also, I wanted to experiment more with the colors

Would it be a masturbatory if I redrew @toydrill's drawings of my drawings or just invoking a character design ouroboros?

I especially enjoy that Pete's sitting on a pile of laundry (presumably Billy's since none of the clothes are white or pink) despite the couch being RIGHT THERE. That's real dedication to being a lazy slob.

Also, he's drinking TaB* so he thinks he's fat (TaB was Coke's first diet sugar-free 0-calorie cola, in deep decline since the mid-80s) or it was expired and fell off the back of a truck.

*Holy Shit! I just learned there was a TaB Clear in 1992... And it was designed to fail! Conspiracy!

some pete and billy fanart based on @dynamoe 's great pitch of seeing what pete and billy were up to during the late 80s-early 2000s ... i love the idea of seeing these two roughing it out as half-aspiring doctors and inventors, half-aspiring music producers during one of the craziest periods of time for tech and music

The Venture Bros. #48: "The Better Man" | December 7, 2009 - 12:00AM | S04E07

I think I figured out a big reason why I love The Venture Bros, but unfortunately I can’t spend too much time expounding on this in a non-shallow way: it reminds me of Ducktales. Because sometimes they go on a big adventure to an exotic locale, and sometimes they have to spend an afternoon killing money-eating bugs in Uncle Scrooge’s money vault. 

In this one, Orpheus and the triad are shown up by the Outrider, the man who “stole” Orpheus’s wife. But he ends up in hot water and requires Orpheus’s help after being trapped in hell. Billy Quizboy does illegal surgery again! And: also: we get the return or H. Jon Benjamin as the master, who reveals himself to Triana and scares her away from Dean and encourages her to go live with her mom and become a dang Harry Potter. 

This one’s sorta important in that it helps drive home the fact that Triana and Dean do not belong together, and it writes her mostly out of the show. At least it writes her out of the compound (she comes back at least one other time I can think of). But mostly it’s just about the characters hanging out and stuff. Yeah, there’s a big scary monster from hell, but a lotta of the episode is just about Hank and Dean going to the mall and sexually harassing women. Dermott is there, too! He’s one of the rudest guys on the show, so cherish him. 

I am struggling to come up with compelling highlights to illustrate the fact that I enjoyed this episode, which I actually did a great deal. I think I’m just happy that it doesn't’ have a plot I feel compelled to write-up extensively. So I’ll just list gags now I liked: 

The Matthew Lesko reference. It is fucked up that that dude has a suit with question marks and not dollar signs. Could it be the Mandingo effect? Oh, in my reality we call it the Mandingo effect because–

A fairly neutral “transgender” joke! In 2009! They didn’t even gratuitously use the slur! Wait, I like a lack of slurs?? SINCE WHEN??? 

“I look like Rufio!” 

The whole scene where the Master pretends to be future Dean is bleak as fuck. Hilariously Jackson and Doc said they based his look on Bernard Goetz. I mean, look at this and tell me he doesn’t belong in the Ventureverse:

A thing I didn't LIKE, per-se, but bears mentioning: maybe one of the worst production errors of the show has Dean wearing a suit to impress Triana, then suddenly not, then it's back again. I originally thought it was due to them shuffling the scenes in the edit but Jackson took responsibility and said he approved of the storyboards of a suitless Dean without thinking. God DAMN him!

EPHEMERA CORNER

Christmas in December Specials (December 13, 2009)

Even MORE Christmas in December to Tell in the Dark. This night featured a few other Christmas episodes but not that many more. I'd rather not post the schedule because of SPOILERS!!! Also, I thought maybe they did something else that was special, but if I am to read Swimpedia correctly the previous Sunday's "Christmas in December" was the one that featured the shop-at-home segments and not this one. I refuse to delete this paragraph. Sorry.

MAIL BAG

I just heard the good news: Adult Swim 2021 is coming to FunnyOrDie to cover Tim and Eric projects as bonus emphemera content. W00T!

The cat is "right out" of the bag: I will be doing this in some form. In fact, I sorta regret not attempting to include more non-Adult Swim Tim & Eric stuff in the ephemera section (like the Shrek 3 promos, for instance), but that's okay. But I do sorta think those are significant in that they are an important stepping stone towards Bedtime Stories. But I'm not gonna cover Eric's music videos or his future court case (speculation)

Some different Billy Quizboy looks

[algusunderdunk]

I made the horrific mistake of reading KJ Charles' fantastic The Magpie Lord while also trying to binge The Venture Brothers so I can watch the movie, and now I keep picturing Stephen and Lucien as Master Billy Quizboy and Pete White.

[pyjamac]

one thing abt me is i’m just like master billy quizboy. if you met me you’d be like wow he’s just like master billy quizboy that’s kind of unfortunate.

[dynamoe]

hooray, the beach! downtime from shooting Quizboys so he's flesh-handed and double-eyed

“Eh.” Malcolm knew the situation was not the best for Pete before, he looked at GCI files for the duo of the Pink Pilgrim and Master Billy Quizboy when he was acting as St. Cloud’s big villain. “Could be worse.”

This whole interaction was weird, not as bad as awkward pleasantries with Brock but still off. Then again everything the last month and half had felt both stupidly ironic and surreal.

He almost felt naked being in the Venture home without his colors on. “So what’s the whole situation with you and big head? Cozy? Is that the word you used?”

“you like this? you like the state of things, as they are?” (from gcilevelten for pete)

🦩 — " Well, yeah! For the most part. I'd say this is one of the higher points in my life; having friends, a great job, cozy living situation, sober ... I used to live in a trailer out in the middle'a nowhere, y'know. "
