Malphigian steps in to explain the joke: this is based off the most recent episode of the awesome Cartoon Network show The Venture Brothers.

I'm happy just knowing they really made the site.

I think the best moment of this show was when The Monarch thanks Brock Samson, and Brock smiles before going off screen.

One of the best Adult Swim shows yet. I loved the mammals / egglayers conversation.

I think the best moment of the show was realizing that you just spent 22 minutes watching the characters having a time-out because someone needed emergency testicular surgery. ;)

This is the most brilliant show on television right now. SMURFS DO NOT LAY EGGS!

Instantly reminded of the filmstrip entitled "Your Testicles and You" from 'Johnny Dangerously.'

"These are the unlucky ones. These unfortunate souls are suffering from ESS - Enlarged Scrotum Syndrome"

Apparently a favorite of the movie quote .wav web pages.

A man with one testicle can still have a normal erection and produce sperm for all who require it. He also will have the good fortune of garnering a nickname like "Lefty" or "Mr. Right".

In college, we called our guy 'uno'.

Anyone see the original pilot of this show about a year ago?

Brock rips 3 alligators into extra chunky salsa using only his hunting knife.

Fell in love with the show from there on out.

"Kiss him. It would be so cute."

I've been tivo'ing this show since I caught one of the first episodes and have been loving it since. Some of the gags really don't work, but when they do they're pretty funny. The format of the show is a little odd, but not 'out of the box' odd like Harvey Birdman and the little weird touches like the homage to Bowie's Major Tom or conversations about Smurfs more than makes up for some of its comedic failures.

I loved the PSA at the end of the episode with them obviously reading cue cards. Some younger folks don't get a lot of the references. I guess Johnny Quest has only been on Bommerang for some time?

I do think that the prof and boys need to get better lines, because it has been Warburg's Sampson character doing all the heavy lifting so far.

I'm glad Race Bannon had a cameo a few episodes back. I'm just waiting for the dustup between Team Venture and Johnny Quest and Hadji.
