The Venture Bros.: Difference between revisions

** The super-intelligent, incredibly-handsome, fabulously-wealthy, and outwardly-perfect Dr. Jonas Venture. Jonas Jr. skirts this trope but keeps from falling in by being a dwarf who spent several decades being mistaken for a tumor.

* [[Actor Allusion]]: [[Hey, It's That Voice!|Kevin Conroy]], who also does the voice of [[Batman]], plays a wealthy superhero who likes to take on young boys as sidekicks.

** Go-Fish's specialties: Aquatic Annihilations, Moist Murders, Sea Slayings, Liquid Lynchings.

** 21's insistence that the "Monarch Mind Infractor" should have been called the "Monarch Mind Machine" or the "Monarch Mind Mutilator."

* [[Stealth Pun]]: In the season four finale, "Operation: P.R.O.M." Sgt Hatred has most of his HATRED tatoos removed, with the exception of the D, as it's [[Groin Attack|in kind of a tender area]], and replaces the H with a V for "Venture," meaning his tattos now read "VD," venereal disease.

* [[Stock Scream]] In particular the Wilhelm Scream, but since this series a huge [[Deconstruction]] of the [[I Want My Jetpack|future of yesterday]] it's probably a homage to it more than anything else.

{{quote|'''The Alchemist:''' ''But being a magic super hero that keeps chasing the same guy? It's completely gay. That is coming from a guy that voluntarily has sex with men!''}}

** Apparently inverted with born-again Holy Diver and Sky Pilot, who are allegedly Gay Straight, but he revealed later that it was a cover-up and that he actually is still [[Camp Gay|very, very gay]]. Hell, [[Hello, Sailor!|he's in the navy]].
