The Venture Bros.: Difference between revisions

* [[Distaff Counterpart]]: Dr. Quymn's twin daughters, Nancy and Drew, were [[Word of God|written to be counterparts of Dean and Hank]], but with far more worldliness. Dr. Quymn herself is one to Rusty Venture. Ginnie Dunne fills the spot in comparison to Brock.

* [[Distinguished Gentleman's Pipe]]: Professor Richard Impossible.

* [[Documentary Episode]]: "From The Ladle To The Grave:The Story of Shallow Gravy"

* [[Doesn't Like Guns]]: Brock, who will gladly crush you with knives and bare hands instead.

* [[Love Redeems]]: [[Word of God]] states that the Monarch and Dr. Girlfriend are meant to be a subversion: they have a functioning and loving relationship while still being irredeemably evil villains who kill people at the drop of a hat. The prevalence of the trope combined with the [[Comedic Sociopathy|hilarious]] and [[Crosses the Line Twice|over the top]] nature of their [[Moral Event Horizon]] moments make it a little hard to realize that this is happening.

* [[Luke, You Are My Father]]: Dermott has told at least one person that he is {{spoiler|Brock Samson}}'s long lost son. It's revealed that {{spoiler|Dr. Venture is actually his father.}}

Brock continues to make jokes about Dr. Girlfriend to both the Monarch and Phantom Limb throughout seasons one and two, and her gender is questioned when she enters a public restroom. In the season three episode "Home Is Where the Hate Is", she's caught smoking for the first time by her husband, the Monarch, at a party. After he comes to realize the clues that she's been smoking (since 1989), well...
