The Venture Bros. is a United States animated television series airing as part of Adult Swim on Cartoon Network. Notable for its strong continuity, complex characters and unexpected plot twists, it chronicles the adventures of two dopey teenage boys, Hank and Dean; their super-scientist father, Dr. Thaddeus "Rusty" Venture; and their family's bodyguard, secret agent Brock Samson.

The series pays homage to the style of the classic Hanna-Barbera action series Jonny Quest. Hank and Dean's roles resemble those of Jonny and Hadji (Hank also resembles Fred from Scooby Doo.), Dr. Venture is a caricature of Dr. Benton Quest, and Brock Samson presents a testosterone-loaded, excessively violent take on Race Bannon, who has appeared in the show. Flashbacks show, however, that Dr. Venture was like Jonny in his youth, and his own father was a more traditional "Dr. Quest".

McCulloch created The Venture Bros.' storyline sometime prior to 2000. After working for the television program Sheep in the Big City and the live-action version of The Tick, McCulloch set to turning The Venture Bros. into an animated series. The Venture Bros. was originally conceived as a comic-book story for an issue of Monkeysuit. McCulloch realized that his notes were too extensive for a short comic story, and decided to pitch it as an animated series to Comedy Central, but it was rejected. Although the first draft of the pilot script was written in the spring of 2000, the premise was not greenlit until around the summer of 2002 by Adult Swim. McCulloch had not previously considered Cartoon Network because he "didn't want to tone The Venture Bros. down" and was unaware of the existence of Adult Swim. With the revised pilot, production began in autumn of that year and the pilot was first run on February 16, 2003. The first season of the series was completed in 2004 and it was added to the summer schedule in August.^[2] Sheep in the Big City was an American animated television series which ran on Cartoon Network for two seasons, from November 2000 to April 2002. ...

The characters of The Venture Bros. are largely either reimaginings of the characters from Jonny Quest, comic book superheroes and supervillains; or of other famous figures from popular culture. Hank (voiced by Christopher McCulloch) and Dean Venture (voiced by Michael Sinterniklaas) are the titular twin brothers of the show; both boys have identifiable characteristics, with Hank being the more adventurous and Dean being the more "effeminate" and bookish of the two. Dr. Thaddeus "Rusty" Venture (voiced by James Urbaniak) currently runs Venture Industries. Dr. Venture assumes the occupation of a "super-scientist", although his knowledge and credentials in the field are questionable. Brock Samson (voiced by Patrick Warburton) is the massively-muscled and hyper-masculine bodyguard to the Venture family. He is an Office of Secret Intelligence agent with a license to kill. Dr. Venture's deceased father, Dr. Jonas Venture (voiced by Paul Boocock), developed a loyal and rather emotional robot named H.E.L.P.eR. (voiced by Soul-Bot) that accompanies and assists the Ventures. Image File history File links VentureBrosCharsSeason2. ... Image File history File links VentureBrosCharsSeason2. ...

Throughout the series, the Venture family has had various recurring antagonists. Many of them are current or former members of The Guild of Calamitous Intent, a group that bears resemblance to the Legion of Doom. The pernicious but ineffective Monarch (voiced by Christopher McCulloch), the masculine-voiced Doctor Girlfriend (voiced by Doc Hammer), and their numerous henchmen are some of the Venture family's main villains. Baron Werner Ünderbheit (voiced by T. Ryder Smith) is a former dictator of the duchy of Ünderland and bears a grudge against Venture for the loss of his jaw in college, citing "One is always supposed to look out for one's lab partner!". Phantom Limb (voiced by James Urbaniak) is a ruthless killer and a high-ranking member of The Guild of Calamitous Intent, and also a former lover of Dr. Girlfriend. He seems at least as intent upon persecuting The Monarch as he is in pursuing the Guild's villainous agenda.

The Ventures also have acquaintances that are used to help progress stories and add to the atmosphere of the show. The expert necromancer Doctor Byron Orpheus (voiced by Steven Rattazzi) and his goth daughter Triana (voiced by Lisa Hammer) rent out a portion of the Venture Compound. The albino computer scientist Pete White (voiced by Christopher McCulloch) is a former college friend of Dr. Venture's, and usually appears in the company of hydrocephalic "boy genius" Master Billy Quizboy (voiced by Doc Hammer). Surviving members of the original Team Venture, a group of extraordinary people assembled by Dr. Jonas Venture, have also appeared in occasional episodes.

The second season of the series premiered on the internet via Adult Swim Fix on June 23, 2006 and on television on June 25, 2006; the season finished on October 15, 2006. The considerable delay between the end of the first season and the start of the second was partially caused by Adult Swim's delay in deciding whether to renew the show, but primarily because the show is drawn and inked in the traditional animation style, albeit digitally, causing each episode to take considerable time to move through production. (Many Adult Swim cartoons are produced using various kinds of all-digital processes, which is cost-effective but often low quality.) Additionally, the producers were dealing with time constraints of producing a first-season DVD that contained live action interviews and commentary for several episodes.

According to a recent interview with the creators, the show has been officially renewed for both a third and fourth season. As Adult Swim's website earlier stated that 26 new episodes were on the way, this breaks down into two seasons with 13 episodes each (which conforms to the runs of the first two seasons).

Running gags

Most episodes open with a letterboxed scene prior to the opening title sequence. Additionally, almost every episode features both a smash cut into the end credits, and a short scene following the credits that itself often smash cuts into the final production logo, and usually wraps up the episode humorously or reveals something significant about the characters (usually both). This gives each episode a cold open, and two "cold closes." A 2. ...

Themes, homages, and references

One of the themes of The Venture Bros. is its multifarious use of allusion in its dialogue, character design and other facets. The series openly pays homage to a variety of sources, including adventure serials, pulp magazines, and many other elements of pop culture; musical references, television shows, movies, toys, fads, and comic books have all been used for fodder in the past.

Jonny Quest

Comparing the main characters of The Venture Bros. and Jonny Quest

The series' predominant homage is to Jonny Quest, as it is the basis for many of the main characters. Dr. Venture is loosely modelled on Benton Quest, Brock likewise on Race Bannon, and the Venture boys correspond to Jonny and Hadji. The comparisons, however, are taken to the level of an extreme parody: Dr. Venture is a pill-popping, barely-competent scientist who treats his children and those around him with overt disdain and contempt; Brock is a hyper-macho man with a (frequently used) license to kill; and the boys are nincompoops stuck in an out-of-date mindset. One newspaper critic remarked, "if filmmakers Woody Allen and Sam Peckinpah had collaborated on "Jonny Quest," it would have come out a lot like this."^[4] Image File history File links VBJQComparison. ... Image File history File links VBJQComparison. ...

In the latter part of the first season, and more overtly in the second, the writers have retrofitted the notion of Dr. Venture being an adult analogue for Jonny Quest. Flashbacks and references to merchandise show Rusty as a Jonny Quest-like child adventurer. This was expanded upon in season two with brief appearances from Hector, who served as an analogue for Hadji, and former boxing champion Swifty as another analogue for Race Bannon.

Characters and devices from Jonny Quest appear in person in two episodes. "Ice Station – Impossible!" features a cameo appearance from Race Bannon. In "Twenty Years to Midnight", a drug-addicted adult Jonny Quest lives in the same bathysphere that his father, Benton Quest, once used to communicate with sea life. In "Fallen Arches", Dr. Venture has built a "Walking Eye" machine, reminiscent of the spider-like robotic spy built by Dr. Zin from the Jonny Quest episode "The Robot Spy".

Comic books and other literature

The boys' ages and desire to solve mysteries is reminiscent of The Hardy Boys; Jackson Publick's original sketches of the boys depicted what he called "dim-witted Hardy Boys". Hank's appearance and clothes also closely resemble that of the character Fred Jones from the Scooby-Doo series, while Dean's resemble Peter Parker circa Amazing Fantasy #15. In several episodes, Dean wears Spider-Man pajamas and Hank wears Aquaman pajamas similar to Underoos. Hank has been frequently shown wearing a Batman costume.

The family of four that possess Impossible Industries have received horrific, inferior versions of the Fantastic Four's powers. The Office of Secret Intelligence (OSI) is a direct parody of S.H.I.E.L.D., featuring similar uniforms, the jet-pack seen in older Nick Fury tales, and a flying headquarters along the lines of the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier. Dr. Jonas Venture and the original Team Venture are strongly reminiscent of pulp novel hero Doc Savage and his entourage. The characters Doctor Byron Orpheus and Baron Werner Ünderbheit are influenced by Doctor Strange and Doctor Doom, respectively. The Monarch even refers to Ünderbheit as a "dime store Doctor Doom" in the episode "Dia de Los Dangerous!" Elements of Molotov Cocktease's background and appearance can be seen as references to the first Black Widow as well as to Aeon Flux. Torrid, the villain that Doctor Orpheus fights against alongside The Order of the Triad, is a version of Marvel's Dormammu, but also resembles DC's Deadman to some degree.

Music

David Bowie's character in the season two finale, "Showdown at Cremation Creek (Part II)"

Musicians and songs are commonly referenced and quoted in The Venture Bros. Many characters often quote songs, sometimes to a great length. Monarch henchmen numbers 21 and 24 are usually discussing music related topics. For example, after the Monarch calls at the beginning of the episode "Hate Floats", they begin to sing the movement "Mars" from Gustav Holst's "The Planets" orchestral suite. Some musicians have even appeared as characters in the show. David Bowie is the most referenced musician in the series as of 2006, to the point of appearing as a major character (voice impersonated by James Urbaniak, with Iggy Pop and Klaus Nomi) in "Showdown at Cremation Creek (Part I and Part II).

There have been numerous references to the band Led Zeppelin, primarily in relation to Brock. Brock mentions that "Zep sold out" on In Through the Out Door. He later implies that he hates the album due to its connection to his memories of a former lover (Molotov Cocktease). When Brock must take an exam to renew his license to kill, instead of answering the questions on its written portion, he draws Icarus from the Swan Song Records logo; Brock eventually gets a tattoo of this logo. While listening to "The Battle of Evermore", H.E.L.P.e. R. proceeds to call Zeppelin "jock rock" and an argument ensues between it and Brock.

Brock works for the "Office of Secret Intelligence", a subtle play on the Office of Scientific Intelligence that employed agent Steve Austin in The Six Million Dollar Man. The homage extends further when Brock meets Steve Summers (a play on both Steve Austin and Jamie Summers, the Bionic Woman), a former government agent who has been bionically rebuilt. Brock's mentor from the OSI, "Colonel Hunter Gathers", takes his appearance and first name from the late gonzo journalist Hunter S. Thompson.

In an apparent reference to William S. Burroughs, Colonel Horace Gentleman speaks to a scantily clad boy named Kiki, with whom it is implied he has had sexual relations.

James Bond is heavily referenced in the series as well, as Brock is essentially a pumped up Bond and actually carries a license to kill. Brock remarked in an episode that killing guys in a tux makes him "feel like James Bond." Colonel Horace Gentleman, one of the members of Dr. Jonas Venture's original Team Venture, speaks with a Scottish accent that sounds just like Sean Connery, the first actor to portray James Bond, but actually a knowing jab at Connery's character in The League Of Extraordinairy Gentlemen. Additionally, in the episode "The Incredible Mr. Brisby", when Brock is rendered unconscious by a cigarette, he mutters "chloral hydrate..." just as Timothy Dalton did in The Living Daylights.

Star Wars

Star Wars is often referenced in the show. Many episodes either directly or indirectly refer to the series, and a number of memorable lines have been quoted. The writers have made references to common Star Wars pop culture icons (from the Star Wars Kid to the The Star Wars Holiday Special), and several episodes parody the film series.

Technology

The "advanced technology" in the Venture Compound is a hodgepodge of unrealistic jet age retro-future technology and current technology.

The Ventures' research ship is illustrated to look like an XB-70 Valkyrie supersonic high-altitude bomber.

Fictional technology is commonplace in the show. The characters have used or mentioned functioning teleporters, robots, shrink rays, time machines, and other similar machines that are science fiction clichés.

Failure

Publick and Hammer have stated that one of the primary themes of The Venture Bros. is failure. In general, phailure refers to the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective. ...

"Yeah failure, that's what Venture Bros. is all about. Beautiful sublime failure." -Doc Hammer^[5]

In the commentary for the episode "Home Insecurity" Hammer and Publick elaborated on the theme.

Publick: "This show... If you'll permit me to get 'big picture,' This show is actually all about failure. Even in the design, everything is supposed to be kinda the death of the space-age dream world. The death of the jet-age promises."

Hammer: "It's about the beauty of failure. It's about that failure happens to all of us..." "Every character is not only flawed, but sucks at what they do, and is beautiful at it and Jackson and I suck at what we do, and we try to be beautiful at it, and failure is how you get by." "It shows that failure's funny, and it's beautiful and it's life, and it's okay, and it's all we can write because we are big fucking failures. (laughter)"^[5]
