Unlike the comic book heroes, Professor Impossible (voiced by Stephen Colbert) is a villain who keeps his mutated family hidden. There’s Professor Impossible and his family who are an obvious parody of the Fantastic Four. Several other characters debut in the first season that would go on to make repeat appearances. Venture as the failed scientist, and Monarch as the failed villain for Venture often ignores his very existence. The main theme for the show is failure, and both Dr.
Venture, by virtue of his adventuring past with the original Team Venture, is still considered some kind of hero even though he’s almost irrelevant. He’s a member of The Guild of Calamitous Intent, which governs the conflicts between heroes and super villains and ensures the conflicts exist in perpetuity, essentially providing a reason why certain villain cliches exist.

The Monarch, as it turns out, is a professional super villain contracted to harass Dr. Girlfriend, highlight some episodes while his two most prominent henchmen, 21 and 24, are the other featured members of his stable. Conflicts between he and his right-hand woman, Dr. The Monarch though was fleshed-out further, given a back story, as well as a stable of disposable henchmen. Orpheus brought in later (he’s a necromancer). The main cast of Venture, Brock, and the two boys were kept intact, with “wacky neighbor” Dr. Public and Hammer voice the majority of the cast, with Seinfeld’s Patrick Warburton voicing Brock Samson. The animation was given a boost in quality, as was the writing and voice acting.
The pilot was deemed a success and the show was given a thirteen episode first season with each episode running a half hour, a rarity for original adult swim programs.

This is the type of humor the series would become known for. The cast started small, but continues to expand. Venture but it turns out he just wants to masturbate on Venture’s death ray. They’re also pursued by a one-off character, a ninja, who we are lead to believe wishes to assassinate Dr. Venture is at science, The Monarch is every bit his equal as a super villain. The two get into some trouble, without being fully aware of it, while their dad attends the peace conference. They’ve, up to this point, lived sheltered lives at the family compound and have almost no sense of danger or any awareness of the world around them. Hank looks like Fred from Scooby Doo, while Dean looks like a Hardy Boys reject. They basically serve as caricatures of the goody two-shoes characters that often showed up in adventure shows. The actual Venture brothers the title refers to are Doctor Venture’s twin sons, Hank and Dean. He’s Race Bannon without a conscience, and the appearance of the assassin Molotov Cocktease implies that Brock has a secret past. His body-guard, Brock Samson, is a short-tempered bad ass with a righteous blond mullet. In the pilot, he’s trying to hawk a death ray to the UN at a peace conference. Doc is essentially the Johnny Quest of this show, only he grew up to be a complete failure. There’s Doctor Venture, a “super” scientist of questionable morals and credentials who is apparently riding the coat tails of his long deceased father. The pilot successfully introduced the main cast for the series. The animation it did sport though was certainly still low-budget when compared with other similar cartoons. did not use repurposed animation from other programs like Sealab 2021 or Space Ghost: Coast to Coast.
Unlike most adult swim programs at the time (the ones created for adult swim, that is), The Venture Bros. It first began as a fifteen minute crudely animated pilot that first debuted in 2003 on adult swim. is the brainchild of Jackson Publick and Doc Hammer. is basically a spoof of Johnny Quest with lots of nods towards comics and geek culture sprinkled about. And while Archer may be a more modern Get Smart or a parody of James Bond and other spy-centric shows and movies, The Venture Bros. And like Archer, both utilize a setting that’s both dated yet futuristic. Both shows are essentially animated sitcoms, with Venture being the more traditionally animated one.
currently (I use that term loosely) reside. Archer’s creators got their start on Cartoon Network’s adult swim, which is where The Venture Bros. So much so, that I couldn’t, in good conscience, rank it ahead of this one. Our number seven entrant on this list, Archer, has a lot in common with the number six entrant.
