Just started watching this recently and holy shit! Why didn't anyone tell me how good of a character Dr. Orpheus is?

>actual necromancer
>god-tier voice acting
>always in his sweet-ass costume
>responsible father and home-maker
>treats the Ventures like his 2nd family
>can kill people with fucking magic
>has chill-as-fuck daughter who actually finds the boy's lack of any social skills endearing
I originally started The Venture Bros. this for Brock Sampson but I'm partway through season 2 and way more excited anytime Orpheus enter's a scene now
Anyway, Venture Bros thread, I guess

Alright so when this thread starts, me, Poe, and me rush in. You got that?

I heard they based some character on Sycho Sid Vicious, so that's why I watched it IIRC

Of all the quotes from Venture Bros. These are the few that stick with me

>I dont care who could win in a fight between Lizzy Borden and Anne Frank

>The number 12
>really!
>no don't ask me any of that hitchhiker stuff

He only calls himself a necromancer because nobody takes sorcerer or magician seriously anymore
He couldn't revive 24

>he is mummy von muggy, hes a good mummy, arn'tcha muggy?

>no mention of orchestra that plays half the time he talks
C'mon user

Hes the only dad on the show who isn't shit.

OP here, holy shit you're right. Apparently I'm retarded for not noticing that.

Wish he was around more

>so how come I never see you at school?
>I'm kind of home-tutored in a box my pop made. It sometimes get very hot in the box... my pop made.
I don't know why but that pause always kills me youtube.com/watch?v=zj6vHFgJbSo

>I wouldn't enter that room if I were you... I had TACO BELLLLLL FOR LUNCH!

Somehow he stopped being able to raise the dead and retconned to never could around the 5th season

He resurrected Reagan twice before his check bounced. And he was walking around hell in season 2, then in season 4 he never could do that.

SLEEEEEEEEEP!!!

Caligula, you take up the rear.

>liking a sissy boy
ffffffaggot.

THE SOULS OF TWO FOUL-MOUTHED REDNECKS!!

>no mention of orchestra that plays half the time he talks

I'm still annoyed they never included that in the soundtrack.

i was just about to make this same post
its such a simple line but the delivery is great

>Isnt it a bit early for a Halloween party?

>Why? You throwing one, Dracula?

Heeeimm wuurr pantyhurse.

That was the best part, maybe apart from the Pulp song-backed finale, point in the show. Rednecks fucking pissed off a D&D type necromancer.

It's a shame there's a decade between each Venture Bros season.

>This latest, thread, has cause me to remember the times of old. Where comedy and OVERREACTIONS were my bread and butter.
>Even now the icey grip of buying the DVDs and seeing it all again PULLS ME BACK IN!

>IGNORE THE FACT THAT I FORGOT THE PICTURE!!

>Waaaaaiit... you guys are Nazis!

>No, *I* started it years ago in a moment of passion, and I'll end it the same way, right here, in front of Brock, H.E.L.P.E.R., and God!

>Did you dab? I dab.
>Stop saying dab!

>Nein we're not.

>Dean, stop riding the 'Perfect Man'. Brock has to kill him now.

Its possible that he just didn't wanted to revive 24 and made up an execuse on the spot.

My pants are haunted!

>Very well. Fetch me my BLUE WINDBREAKERRRR!

>You're getting face on my shirt! Hot melting face!

I actually didnt like season 5 at first but later on when the monarch becomes the blue morpho i just absolutely love it.

"i feel like Catherine the great"

That was what I always figured.

Brock Samson is the only character Patrick Warburton voices that manages to make me forget he's also the voice of Joe Swanson from Family Guy.
He's just perfect.

>Rawr. Harryhausen's a friend.

it's because the Samson voice is a lot more dry and melancholy in the delivery. That's the sign of a good VA when he can take the same voice but make it act a different roll.

...

New season when?

November 8, 2018

I just don't like how Orpheous got cucked by the outrider.

Damn. They nailed it.

And not the current usage of dab either

God that episode is god tier

Really it's insane.
The voice is almost exactly the same if you play them side by side, but the tiny inflections make the character.

You can feel Brock's lacks of shits left to give. And his anger sounds different than Swanson's anger somehow despite the same voice.

Props

>Jefferson: So then a star goes in the circle?
>Orpheus: Jefferson, this isn’t The Craft!

Just about every other line from the monarch

>You think you're hot shit in a champagne glass but you're really cold diarrhea in a Dixie Cup!

>You abandoned me! YOU ABANDONED MY HATRED!
>I-I have cuttlefish
>LOOK INTO MY EYES!

>And get me the security tapes! I want a quicktime of my minty fresh entrance on my homepage by tomorrow!

>I'M TRAPPED IN A SEWER WITH A CONFESSED ARSONIST

I always heard it as "Mummy-mum-muggy," did you watch this with subtitles on? Now I'm curious.

Same. I always heard it as Mummy-mum-muggy.

the pacing and writing of this episode is really revolutionary for its time. "Escape to the House of Mummies Part II" made me think so hard, playing things in reverse and what actually happened when and where that it drove me online to find other's interpretations and explanations on it and it just went further down the rabbit hole from there.

Looking back & feeling jaded, in the context of the whole series, it's not as amazing as it once was. But for the time in 2006, this was a really revolutionary cartoon episode, even for the series it was in. Still quite amusing, especially to other people who've never watched Venture Bros before

don't like molotov, but I'd show that girlfriend my stinger

Orpheus is prime husband material.
I sincerely do not know why his wife left him.

Brock cosplays always seem off to me for some reason.

It’s because no human can be as big body as Brock

This. There is something wrong with that woman, doc O is literally a 9/10.

It's really disturbing how [as] pegged the premiere for season 8 a year in advance.

>Season 8 will be three episodes long

Because the Outrider can do that thing that Orpheus used to do with his mouth, only better because he can hold his breath longer.

sssssssssssssscience?

>"Well if it was, I'd be Faruzha Balk, and you'd be Rachel True!"
"Which one is she?"
>"Mmm, guess. "

>I mean you could bounce a penis off these

warburton's voice fit's the character perfectly

He spent too much time on being a creepy magic guy and didn't spend enough time with his wife.

The Outlander summoned a fucking Cenobite for kink in front of her ex. I don't think her problem was "creepy". That bitch is definitely into some nightmare-sex.

what i meant by that is that he spent too much time on his work.

Quarter.

They need more of that guy. Pity theres no reason since Orpheus didn't come to New York.

Watch the scene again. He says penis

This show is so f*ckin gay

The guy from Labyrinth turned into a BIRD!

Oh, this isn't gay. But King Gorilla there is!

Wha
Huh
WERE YOU TRYING TO RAPE ME?!

>alright, we're going with plan b. HELPR! COME IN HELPR!
>Helpr........MURDER HITLER
and/or
>Ugh....hoo......whew! Guess I can finally cross "stab Hitler to death" of the list of Crazy Shit I Never Thought I'd Get To Do!

>You so totally are! And that is the worst fake German accent I've ever heard

No......I mean, I was gonna...

might be my favorite episode of VB the whole episode doesnt have a single dull moment

That Rusty is perfect, holy shit.

What the fuck king

Lalalalalalalala

>wait a sec, this isn't even my cell! What'd you, take me back to your place?!
>I got porn here.......it helps
>ALALALALALA

>I think I might be a... Tapestry of quiet desperation.

Just putting Dr. O's words in Brocks mouth is funny all by itself. That's how you know you're writing strong characters.

Ehhhhhhhh arguable.

Brock is huge. Like unrealistic proportions. And guys that big usually aren't dorky enough to do cosplay anyway.

A little too muscular, but other than that, yes.

A real man cannot be shaped like an upright dorito.

But like its not even the body that's the issue for me. Its generally the face. Most cosplayers lack that weary ruggedness that is usually associated with the character's facial features. Even the one posted in this thread just looks like a normal guy scowling.

I have a feeling it was influenced by mulholland drive. I recommend you check that out.

a real man is Enrico Matasa

>what's your name kid?
>"uhh, Dean Ven-"
>YOUR NAME IS BITCH! And I own you.

IGNORE ME

>"This is our crime robot, which we have named Crimerobot!"
The fact that he clearly pronounces the name as a single word just cracks me up to no end.

Did somebody lose a baby?

>2018
try 20XX

It was all but announced. 6 and 7 were renewed at the same time so the break wasn't as long.

Somehow the voice makes it hotter
