Venture Bros. - first impressions

[Random Axe]

After being told how cool and funny this show is, I finally got around to getting season 1 and started watching on Sunday evening. I'm almost through, I think there's around three episodes left.

The cool part is definitely true. This show lived up to that hype.

I'm not finding this laugh out loud funny like I thought I would, but it's more cerebral humor. It's the kind of humor you think about days after you see it and smile. It's got such a subtle sense of humor that is just grows, like a Ben Stiller movie. I'm really enjoying the characterizations as they get fleshed out.

I've been told it doesn't really take off till the middle of season two, so I'm looking forward to that. I'm addicted now and have to watch a little each night. Now I'll have to get the figures as they look so much cooler to me now than they did a week ago. I gotta get a Dr. Orpheus.

At a certain point the show pretty much goes off the rails and it becomes much less of a broad spoof than it's own unique entity based on the strong characterizations over sensical plot.

[adult swim] will be wrapping up Season 3 tonight and I'm guessing will be on the first half of Season 4 tomorrow.

Hmmmm....

It's one of them things that gets better the more you watch, 'cos there's a HUGE backstory going on that you don't notice at first. It also has the greatest tv quote ever:

"Where does he get this stuff.... I never see him crack a book.... is he channelling dead stupid people?"
