At its best, it rivals the golden years of The Simpsons in my book, and that’s about the highest praise I can give a show. So so funny and creative, relentlessly bleak, and a relatable love of 80s alternative culture.
Ever since I discovered the show during an Adult Swim live stream on Christmas Eve, it has been my favorite cartoon of all time, and this episode truly encapsulates everything that makes Venture Bros great. It begins with a recap of a nonexistent plotline, the b-story is increasingly crazier non-sequiturs filled with 70s references, and Joe from Family Guy voices the master of darkness. And the next episode is a banger as well
It's just like John Swartzwelder said:
"Since writing is very hard and rewriting is comparatively easy and rather fun, I always write my scripts all the way through as fast as I can, the first day, if possible […] Then the next day, when I get up, the script’s been written. It’s lousy, but it’s a script. The hard part is done."
