I’m afraid the streets are over run with teenage gangs! Teenagers are CRUEL and will undoubtedly taunt us, because our trousers are not in style anymore.Favorite Character - Shelia (Dr Girlfriend, Dr. Mrs. The Monarch, Lady Au Pair)Favorite Actor - Christopher McCullochMost Venture Bro-y moment (as in a moment or joke that wouldn’t work anywhere else) - Colonel Gentlemen - Yawn’s Here’s something, Rodney killed a baby once. GRAHAM:Favorite Moment - Sock/movie ticket moment with Red Death/21 and Midnight Movie Massacre retold by Red DeathFavorite Pop Culture Reference - Acid Burn and Zero Cool (Hackers) “The Venture Bros. & The Curse of the Haunted Problem”Funniest Moment - Arrears in Science “wrap-up” by Sgt. Hatred and DeanFavorite Quote - “Arrears in Science”H-Hey, what’s the haps?D-Dr. O held a seance to un-haunt our house. And then Pop found Grandpa in the P.R.O.B.lem lightH-Woah was his corpse all rotten and stuff?D-No he was still alive.H-What?! I want to go meet Grandpa!D-It’s only his head thoughH-Okay that gives me pause. Still, Zombie Grandpa Head!Sgt. H-It ain’t safe Hank, your Grandpa thought he was your house and tried to up and runaway with all of us inside.D-And then blue robot came down from the sky in his magic car and made Grandpa stop. And these guys are all mad at blue robot because…H-Okay, okay, stop…that’s kind of a lot.Favorite Character - Red DeathFavorite Actor - Christopher McCullochMost Venture Bro-y moment (as in a moment or joke that wouldn’t work anywhere else) - “Arrears in Science” -  “wrap-up” by Sgt. Hatred and Dean MATT:Favourite Moment – The bit in A Party For Tarzan where Dr Mrs The Monarch fires the bullet at Rusty. The way it is shot, the slow motion with the voice over, it’s such a beautiful sequence and has serious suspense in the build up to her shooting the rifle.Favourite Pop Culture Moment – The Rusty Venture cartoon opening being a Jonny Quest knock off and then ending in “Sponsored by Smoking” which I’m sure is a slight reference to how cigarette adverts were in old shows and you even had The Flintstones advertising smokingFunniest moment – Red Death in Dummy Corp, “AHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Oh hi! The room is secure.” “How long do we have until they regain consciousness?” “Uhhhhhh…”Favourite quote – “READY THE ACID MAGNET!”Favourite character – I have to pick one?! I’ll narrow it down to three, The Monarch, Red Death and HunterFavourite actor – Christopher McCulloch, the number of characters he voices and they all have such a different sound to them. Hank, The Monarch, Henry Killinger, Hunter Gathers, Dr Z, Hell even the Grand Galactic Inquisitor!Most Venture Bro-y moment – The clone army being slaughtered by The Monarch’s Deathshead Panoply, the combination of the ridiculousness of the design of the Deathshead Panoply alongside the clone army being cut down and Dean’s shriek and saying “Why do I feel like I’m the one who is dying?” I can’t imagine any other series doing that. BROK:Favorite Moment - Season 2 opening, Everybody’s FreeFavorite Pop Culture Reference - Jonas Venture Sr. being used to out the horrible racism of the old James Bond moviesFunniest Moment - Naked Brock in Victor Echo November, “To prey on their fear, move like an animal, feel the kill.”Favorite Quote - “Smurfs lay eggs.”Favorite Character - BrockFavorite Actor -  James UrbaniakMost Venture Bro-y Moment - Rusty cleaning the walking eye to steal arches away from Dr. O. PART IIIRank the Seasons---For the episodes that sort of exist outside of the seasons, we counted them as follows when considering the season.Terrible Turtle - Season 1A Very Venture Christmas - Season 1From The Ladle To The Grave: The Shallow Gravy Story - Season 4A Very Venture Halloween - Season 5All This and Gargantua II - Season 6Bryan - 5, 1, 6, 2, 7, 4, 3Graham - 1, 2, 5, 4, 3, 6, 7Matt - 1, 5, 2, 4, 3, 6, 7Brok - 1, 7, 3, 5, 6, 4, 2 Part IVTop 5 Episodes---BRYAN:5 - S2 final Showdown at Cremation Creek4 - S3 e2The Doctor is Sin3 - S4 Blood of the Father, Heart of Steel the story telling, THE STORY TELLING2 - S5 What Color is Your Clean Suit1 - S6 E0 All This and Gargantua IIGRAHAM:5 - P.R.O.M.4 - Cremation Creek3 - Family that Slays2 - All This and Gargantua-21 - Morphic Trilogy MATT:5 - The Bellicose Proxy (September 9, 2018) – everything in this episode hits all the right notes, the training sequences are fantastic and the scenes with The Monarch are excellent.4 - Red Means Stop (March 20, 2016) – introduces Red Death3 - All This And Gargantua-2 (January 19, 2015) – An amazing episode, it feels like a film in how epic in scope it is2 - Everybody Comes To Hank's (October 3, 2010) – such a cool concept and I love the Film Noir elements, the hat is amazing!!1 - Escape To The House Of Mummies Part II (July 16, 2006) – batshit crazy BROK:5 - Escape from the house to mummies part 24 - Any Which Way But Zeus3 -  20 Years to Midnight2 - Showdown at Cremation Creek Part 1 and 21 - Victor Echo November
