0:00:04.838,0:00:06.406
- [Shannon] "The Venture[br]Brothers" is a cartoon

0:00:06.406,0:00:08.108
about a lot of things.

0:00:08.108,0:00:09.909
The go-to is it's a[br]show about failure,

0:00:09.909,0:00:13.747
but I would say it's about[br]abuse and emotional neglect

0:00:13.747,0:00:16.049
and the many failures[br]of masculinity

0:00:16.049,0:00:19.853
and the horrible reality of[br]lives we romanticize culturally,

0:00:19.853,0:00:22.155
the actuality of[br]these cultural myths,

0:00:22.155,0:00:24.457
how awful they would[br]be if made real.

0:00:24.457,0:00:27.327
[Rusty] The only people I get to[br]hang out with are grownups.

0:00:27.327,0:00:29.963
The only time I get to leave[br]the compound is to go someplace

0:00:29.963,0:00:32.432
creepy, like the[br]Bermuda Triangle.

0:00:32.432,0:00:35.502
And then I get[br]kidnapped by grownups.

0:00:35.502,0:00:37.170
- [Shannon] And what[br]it means to suffer

0:00:37.170,0:00:39.105
and to have no[br]control over your life

0:00:39.105,0:00:41.074
and to have your[br]dignity taken from you

0:00:41.074,0:00:43.777
and to make horrible[br]mistakes and hurt people

0:00:43.777,0:00:46.980
and then go on living.[br]To keep living.

0:00:46.980,0:00:49.682
I know "BoJack Horseman"[br]is described similarly

0:00:49.682,0:00:51.017
and I like BoJack all right.

0:00:51.017,0:00:52.819
But I like "The[br]Venture Brothers" more

0:00:52.819,0:00:54.654
and it's a very different show.

0:00:54.654,0:00:56.923
It's not just a[br]show about failure.

0:00:56.923,0:01:00.126
It's about how life is[br]failure, life is suffering.

0:01:00.126,0:01:03.897
Life is comprised of let[br]downs and indignities

0:01:03.897,0:01:07.567
and the brutality of the show,[br]the sometimes baseness of it.

0:01:07.567,0:01:11.171
[Hank] I also heard that he sliced[br]off a kid's hand and ate it.

0:01:11.171,0:01:13.039
Yeah, it was that big headed guy

0:01:13.039,0:01:14.741
that operated on[br]your balls Dean. [Dean] HANK!

0:01:14.741,0:01:15.708
- [Shannon] More often than not

0:01:15.708,0:01:18.011
lends it an uncommon honesty.

0:01:18.011,0:01:21.681
I can't think of a more sincere[br]TV show which if you've seen

0:01:21.681,0:01:24.384
it is kind of a[br]funny thing to say.

0:01:24.384,0:01:27.620
Plot wise, it's a show[br]about a pair of twins

0:01:27.620,0:01:30.356
and their former Jonny[br]Quest-esque boy adventurer

0:01:30.356,0:01:32.058
dad and his body guard.

0:01:35.895,0:01:38.998
[Brock] For a minute there I[br]thought you were gonna do

0:01:38.998,0:01:42.802
your killer hand thing. - [Phantom Limb] So did I.

0:01:42.802,0:01:44.571
- [Shannon] And his[br]arch supervillain rival

0:01:44.571,0:01:46.873
and his dead super scientist[br]father whose shadow

0:01:46.873,0:01:48.374
he can never get out from under.

0:01:48.374,0:01:50.643
- [Killinger] Do not call out to[br]your father to save you.

0:01:50.643,0:01:51.878
He is the one who tied you up

0:01:51.878,0:01:54.514
and buried your[br]dreams in this tomb.

0:01:54.514,0:01:56.583
He commands these[br]creatures of the dark.

0:01:56.583,0:02:00.587
Fear, self-loathing, stinkin'[br]thinkin', und dilly-dallying.

0:02:00.587,0:02:02.655
- [Shannon] And the world[br]that these people live in.

0:02:02.655,0:02:05.291
It's a world of super[br]scientists and supervillains

0:02:05.291,0:02:08.595
and mercenaries and government[br]secret agents and so on.

0:02:08.595,0:02:12.799
And it's like the truest[br]thing you'll ever see?

0:02:12.799,0:02:16.336
Out of fiction, out of TV,[br]movies, books, whatever.

0:02:16.336,0:02:17.670
I have never seen the truth

0:02:17.670,0:02:20.740
of the frustration and[br]the misery of existing,

0:02:20.740,0:02:23.409
especially existing[br]and experiencing trauma

0:02:23.409,0:02:25.745
the way it's portrayed[br]on this show.

0:02:25.745,0:02:29.282
I have never in my life seen[br]a truer and more enjoyable

0:02:29.282,0:02:33.186
expression and fictional[br]entertainment of human misery.

0:02:33.186,0:02:37.757
- [Jonas] Remember Rusty in here I'm[br]your doctor, not your father.

0:02:37.757,0:02:39.359
Now let's get back[br]to it shall we?

0:02:39.359,0:02:41.761
Now you were telling me[br]how you're ungrateful

0:02:41.761,0:02:43.163
for all the opportunities[br]your father's given you

0:02:43.163,0:02:45.131
and you blame me for[br]all your problems.

0:02:45.131,0:02:47.100
- [Shannon] Dr. Venture super scientist

0:02:47.100,0:02:50.803
and former boy adventurer[br]is a miserable person.

0:02:50.803,0:02:53.039
[Doc] So you can see why[br]I've been reluctant

0:02:53.039,0:02:55.375
to go back into therapy.

0:02:55.375,0:02:56.643
- [Shannon] He's not the main[br]character per se,

0:02:56.643,0:02:58.144
but he is the character

0:02:58.144,0:03:00.180
at the center of everything[br]else, kind of the anchor

0:03:00.180,0:03:02.815
that ties all the other[br]aspects of the show together.

0:03:02.815,0:03:05.852
And he's not a good person,[br]but he's not not a good person

0:03:05.852,0:03:07.353
the way Walter White is,

0:03:07.353,0:03:09.389
the way all these[br]cable prestige TV

0:03:09.389,0:03:11.758
morally ambiguous, middle[br]aged white men are.

0:03:11.758,0:03:13.993
You're never in danger[br]of thinking he's cool

0:03:13.993,0:03:15.895
or thinking he's[br]doing the right thing.

0:03:15.895,0:03:18.565
He's pathetic, and there's a[br]lot of surface level parody

0:03:18.565,0:03:20.967
humor derived from how deluded

0:03:20.967,0:03:22.936
and how pathetic[br]he is initially.

0:03:22.936,0:03:25.171
But every time the show[br]digs into his character

0:03:25.171,0:03:27.574
and why he is the way[br]he is and just how awful

0:03:27.574,0:03:29.309
celebrity and hero worship are.

0:03:29.309,0:03:31.878
- [Hatred] So I can see why he's[br]your best friend, I mean-

0:03:31.878,0:03:33.680
- [White] He's not my best friend.

0:03:33.680,0:03:34.948
I just work with him.

0:03:34.948,0:03:37.317
- [Hatred] And live with him and[br]do everything with him.

0:03:37.317,0:03:38.851
That's best friends.

0:03:38.851,0:03:40.053
- [White] Maybe.

0:03:40.053,0:03:41.888
But I always thought of[br]Rusty as my best friend.

0:03:41.888,0:03:42.722
- [Hatred] What?

0:03:42.722,0:03:43.823
You know what White?

0:03:43.823,0:03:45.458
You are a starf**ker.

0:03:45.458,0:03:47.827
You have the greatest[br]friend in the world

0:03:47.827,0:03:51.130
and because he's not[br]famous you don't care.

0:03:51.130,0:03:52.799
You should be[br]ashamed of yourself.

0:03:52.799,0:03:54.834
- [White] Rusty and I went[br]to school together.

0:03:54.834,0:03:55.935
We were inseparable.

0:03:55.935,0:03:57.303
- [Hatred] Starf**ker

0:03:57.303,0:03:58.538
- [Shannon] And the[br]difference between a life lived

0:03:58.538,0:04:00.573
and a life perceived[br]on television

0:04:00.573,0:04:02.008
and what would drive[br]people to act the way

0:04:02.008,0:04:03.743
they do in superhero shows.

0:04:03.743,0:04:06.813
Again, the reality of that[br]kind of universe as populated

0:04:06.813,0:04:08.381
by real human beings.

0:04:08.381,0:04:09.682
- [Doc] Brock and the boys[br]are still trapped,

0:04:09.682,0:04:10.850
probably dead by now.

0:04:10.850,0:04:11.985
- [Orpheus] We must help them!

0:04:11.985,0:04:13.453
- [Doc] No duh.

0:04:13.453,0:04:14.854
I have a zero point magnet[br]somewhere around here

0:04:14.854,0:04:16.289
that will take these[br]pyramid walls down on a jiff

0:04:16.289,0:04:17.757
so thanks for nothing.

0:04:17.757,0:04:18.891
- [Orpheus] Pyramid?

0:04:18.891,0:04:20.326
- [Doc] Yeah we were[br]trapped in a pyramid.

0:04:20.326,0:04:22.629
Some stupid cult[br]made a time machine.

0:04:22.629,0:04:24.497
- [Orpheus] What pyramid cult?

0:04:24.497,0:04:26.332
- [Shannon] And without[br]getting into spoilers,

0:04:26.332,0:04:29.435
how a person's cruelty[br]and selfishness

0:04:29.435,0:04:32.138
can have very far[br]reaching consequences,

0:04:32.138,0:04:35.875
sometimes Dr. Venture's, but[br]often from other characters.

0:04:35.875,0:04:39.946
But the show also celebrates[br]small victories and small joys

0:04:39.946,0:04:43.883
all the time and explores[br]how you find meaning in life

0:04:43.883,0:04:46.819
in spite of suffering[br]and how through accepting

0:04:46.819,0:04:49.555
the horrible circumstances[br]of your weird life.

0:04:49.555,0:04:51.124
I mean, what else can you do?

0:04:51.124,0:04:52.425
You can get through it.

0:04:52.425,0:04:54.160
And it's really funny.

0:04:56.663,0:04:58.798
- [Orpheus] WHO IS HECTOR MOLINA

0:04:58.798,0:05:02.235
AND WHY DO THEY KEEP SENDING ME HIS JUNK MAIL??

0:05:06.239,0:05:07.373
[GGI] Hello.

0:05:07.373,0:05:10.109
(baby babbling)

0:05:10.109,0:05:11.878
Someone left their baby.

0:05:11.878,0:05:15.515
- [Doc] Bill, bill,[br]bill, final notice.

0:05:20.286,0:05:23.022
(dramatic music) AAGH!

0:05:27.860,0:05:31.397
Oh, June 6th 2003.

0:05:31.397,0:05:32.932
I really got to get my[br]s**t together.

0:05:32.932,0:05:34.434
- [Shannon] Without[br]"The Venture Brothers"

0:05:34.434,0:05:36.669
StrucciMovies and Critical[br]Bits wouldn't exist

0:05:36.669,0:05:39.439
in the forms they exist now,[br]or wouldn't exist at all.

0:05:39.439,0:05:40.907
And I know I would[br]be a different person

0:05:40.907,0:05:42.508
if I had never gotten into[br]"The Venture Brothers"

0:05:42.508,0:05:45.078
and been aware of the[br]circumstances of its creation

0:05:45.078,0:05:47.113
of first one person,[br]then two people.

0:05:47.113,0:05:48.781
- Hello, viewers,[br]I'm Doc Hammer.

0:05:48.781,0:05:50.049
- And I'm "Jackson Publick".

0:05:50.049,0:05:50.950
- We're from "The[br]Venture Brothers".

0:05:50.950,0:05:52.185
- We made it up.

0:05:52.185,0:05:53.853
- Would you please join[br]us for a very special

0:05:53.853,0:05:57.623
venture brothers episode[br]tackling some of today's hottest

0:05:57.623,0:05:59.392
teen issues like teen swearing.

0:05:59.392,0:06:00.626
- And teen action.

0:06:00.626,0:06:02.061
- And Tina Turner.

0:06:02.061,0:06:03.930
- [Shannon] Who maybe second[br]only to like David Lynch

0:06:03.930,0:06:06.399
and Mark Frost are at[br]the top of their field

0:06:06.399,0:06:09.435
as far as getting their[br]specific vision onto television.

0:06:09.435,0:06:12.672
And through that, making[br]something so weird and brutal

0:06:12.672,0:06:15.575
and upsetting and uncompromising[br]and hysterically funny

0:06:15.575,0:06:18.344
and depressing, then touching[br]then mean and funny again.

0:06:18.344,0:06:20.880
And in later seasons gorgeous,

0:06:20.880,0:06:23.116
like especially later[br]on the backgrounds,

0:06:23.116,0:06:25.218
the production design, the[br]blocking with characters,

0:06:25.218,0:06:29.188
it's just, it's a stunning[br]looking show on top of being

0:06:29.188,0:06:30.890
written so well and[br]performed so well.

0:06:30.890,0:06:33.693
- [Red Death] The obsession[br]starts. The darkness.

0:06:33.693,0:06:37.263
A man can do terrible things[br]when he's lost his way,

0:06:37.263,0:06:39.198
terrible things.

0:06:39.198,0:06:40.466
- [Shannon] A lot of[br]early venture brothers

0:06:40.466,0:06:42.869
throws around the words[br]gay and retarded a lot,

0:06:42.869,0:06:45.138
and there's some homophobic[br]and transphobic stuff.

0:06:45.138,0:06:47.540
And if you're put off by that[br]or other offensive content

0:06:47.540,0:06:51.544
in the show, then fair, it's[br]worth giving a warning about,

0:06:51.544,0:06:53.379
and I'm not trying to[br]make anyone watch a show

0:06:53.379,0:06:55.314
they'd find upsetting,[br]but I never once felt

0:06:55.314,0:06:57.683
it was trying to be[br]deliberately offensive.

0:06:57.683,0:06:59.752
It's more presenting this[br]world with these people

0:06:59.752,0:07:03.089
not ever in an edgy way,[br]but in an honest way,

0:07:03.089,0:07:05.825
and they're immature sometimes[br]cruel sometimes bigoted

0:07:05.825,0:07:08.127
or ignorant people and a[br]lot of it is cleaned up

0:07:08.127,0:07:10.296
as the show goes along[br]though on rewatch,

0:07:10.296,0:07:12.965
not as fast as I would[br]have hoped or not as fast

0:07:12.965,0:07:15.034
as I remembered it being,

0:07:15.034,0:07:16.803
that stuff is in[br]the show for awhile.

0:07:16.803,0:07:19.439
And I'm not saying it's[br]perfect representation,

0:07:19.439,0:07:21.641
but the show goes some[br]interesting places

0:07:21.641,0:07:24.410
with disabled characters[br]and gay male characters

0:07:24.410,0:07:27.747
specifically, and has[br]a huge and very intense

0:07:27.747,0:07:30.850
queer fan base, which I[br]would include myself in.

0:07:30.850,0:07:32.485
I already really liked[br]"The Venture Brothers"

0:07:32.485,0:07:34.754
and had for years and[br]years and earlier this year

0:07:34.754,0:07:36.856
I finally caught up on[br]season six and seven

0:07:36.856,0:07:39.158
and was completely blown away.

0:07:39.158,0:07:41.894
"Hannibal" was my favorite[br]TV show and after watching

0:07:41.894,0:07:45.198
the Blue Morpho arc of[br]"The Venture Brothers",

0:07:45.198,0:07:48.434
I was just like,[br]wow, this is it.

0:07:48.434,0:07:50.369
What can compete with this?

0:07:50.369,0:07:51.838
Nothing.

0:07:51.838,0:07:56.108
This is so fun and terrifying[br]and funny and deeply sad.

0:07:56.108,0:07:57.710
It's not like, oh, I'm crying

0:07:57.710,0:08:00.179
at this tear-jerker[br]sad, it's like, oh,

0:08:01.314,0:08:03.649
this is tragic on a[br]level I feel in my soul,

0:08:03.649,0:08:05.518
I feel this as a human being,

0:08:05.518,0:08:08.421
while also being weird[br]and gross and pulpy

0:08:08.421,0:08:12.191
and referential and pay[br]off after years and years

0:08:12.191,0:08:15.161
of buildup venture[br]brothers is what you get

0:08:15.161,0:08:18.030
when a medium self actualizes.

0:08:18.030,0:08:19.932
I have multiple projects[br]in the works to go into

0:08:19.932,0:08:21.334
the show's history[br]and analyze it.

0:08:21.334,0:08:24.170
But in very brief here, Jackson[br]Publick was a storyboard

0:08:24.170,0:08:26.105
artist and a comic artist[br]and he came up with the show

0:08:26.105,0:08:27.974
and pitched it and got his[br]friend Doc Hammer involved

0:08:27.974,0:08:30.576
to help him and they've written[br]almost every single episode.

0:08:30.576,0:08:34.881
And I think Hammer edits the[br]show and Publick directs it

0:08:34.881,0:08:36.516
and they voice most of the cast

0:08:36.516,0:08:39.418
and it's been on 16 years[br]with only seven seasons

0:08:39.418,0:08:41.554
because of how much work[br]they put in individually

0:08:41.554,0:08:43.556
and how meticulous the[br]production of it is.

0:08:43.556,0:08:45.057
I'd highly recommend[br]the art book,

0:08:45.057,0:08:47.493
which has in depth sections[br]on the conception and history

0:08:47.493,0:08:50.296
of every episode[br]through season six

0:08:50.296,0:08:52.932
and is like 375 pages long.

0:08:52.932,0:08:54.834
I'm going to be more[br]active than I usually am

0:08:54.834,0:08:56.035
with this sort of situation

0:08:56.035,0:08:58.371
in trying to get[br]the show uncanceled.

0:08:58.371,0:09:00.439
I don't know how much[br]online petitions ever do,

0:09:00.439,0:09:01.641
but I'll sign them.

0:09:01.641,0:09:03.042
I'm going to write[br]letters and mail them.

0:09:03.042,0:09:04.710
I'm going to keep[br]tweeting depressing tweets

0:09:04.710,0:09:06.946
about how upset I am, whatever.

0:09:06.946,0:09:09.282
And I've read HBO Max,[br]maybe picking up the show.

0:09:09.282,0:09:11.050
But I also read a bunch about[br]how "Hannibal" was going

0:09:11.050,0:09:13.286
to be picked up by a streaming[br]service when it got canceled

0:09:13.286,0:09:15.655
and that was five years[br]ago and I'm still waiting.

0:09:15.655,0:09:17.123
If right after I[br]put this video up

0:09:17.123,0:09:18.624
it is announced that[br]"The Venture Brothers"

0:09:18.624,0:09:21.227
is no longer canceled and[br]will be taken care of by HBO

0:09:21.227,0:09:23.930
then like stellar,[br]I will be elated.

0:09:23.930,0:09:26.632
"The Venture Brothers" is just[br]such a perfect articulation

0:09:26.632,0:09:29.101
of what it means to be human.

0:09:29.101,0:09:32.972
Like I think of "Ikiru" and[br]I think of "The 400 Blows"

0:09:32.972,0:09:37.677
as these sweet moving[br]works on, you know,

0:09:37.677,0:09:39.712
these works on humanity

0:09:39.712,0:09:41.814
or like "Bicycle[br]Thieves" or something.

0:09:41.814,0:09:43.783
And I think through[br]it's darkness

0:09:43.783,0:09:46.185
and its cruelty[br]and its crassness

0:09:46.185,0:09:49.989
along with the earned[br]genuine sweet moments

0:09:49.989,0:09:52.425
Venture Brothers makes[br]me feel the same way.

0:09:52.425,0:09:54.060
And it's like these two New York

0:09:54.060,0:09:56.228
art weirdos doing[br]cartoon voices together.

0:09:56.228,0:09:59.599
- We have two voices that we[br]do that are almost the same voice

0:09:59.599,0:10:01.634
there's the guy from[br]the The Council of 13.

0:10:01.634,0:10:03.336
The one who speaks like this.

0:10:03.336,0:10:05.738
And then he does Ghost Robot

0:10:05.738,0:10:10.176
and they're really[br]long, horrible voices.

0:10:10.176,0:10:13.879
I want to do a whole episode[br]that is just those two guys

0:10:13.879,0:10:16.849
talking and just excruciating[br]everybody around them

0:10:16.849,0:10:18.184
not having a good time.

0:10:18.184,0:10:19.719
- [Shannon] Making[br]references to bands

0:10:19.719,0:10:21.220
I've never heard of that I[br]especially never heard of

0:10:21.220,0:10:23.155
when I was 13, when[br]the show started.

0:10:23.155,0:10:25.524
- We've been trying to get[br]into an episode since day one

0:10:25.524,0:10:26.759
and it's not even funny.

0:10:26.759,0:10:28.828
- It's really not gonna be funny[br]with all this build up.

0:10:28.828,0:10:31.130
- You guys won't even,[br]you won't like it

0:10:31.130,0:10:33.680
but we want Hank to go, "Stop[br]wasting all my time-time!"

0:10:34.420,0:10:35.660
which is like the world's w-

0:10:35.700,0:10:38.571
- [Jackson in Hank Voice] "Wasting[br]all my time-time!"

0:10:38.580,0:10:41.080
(audience laughing) - [Jackson] Little miss little miss can't be wr- I was gonna say that-

0:10:41.080,0:10:44.320
It's kind of based on, uh, little miss little miss cant be wrong

0:10:44.440,0:10:48.314
- But it's from a Cars song[br]and I just think it'd be

0:10:48.314,0:10:52.118
so funny if Hank for some[br]reason knows a Cars song.

0:10:52.118,0:10:53.452
'Cause he has this[br]like weird recollection

0:10:53.452,0:10:55.621
of crap that never[br]happened to him.

0:10:55.621,0:10:56.989
- [Hank] And they kill clean.

0:10:56.989,0:10:59.725
Don't let dames get in the way.

0:10:59.725,0:11:02.428
- [Brock] Honestly, Hank, where[br]do you pick that stuff up?

0:11:02.428,0:11:03.596
I never see you read.

0:11:03.596,0:11:04.764
- [Dean] It's weird, right?

0:11:04.764,0:11:06.565
- [Brock] It's like he channels[br]dead crazy people.

0:11:06.565,0:11:08.401
- [Hank] You think it's a cry for help?

0:11:08.401,0:11:10.002
- [Shannon] I'm around 30[br]now and it's been a part

0:11:10.002,0:11:12.705
of my brain for that[br]long, part of how I draw

0:11:12.705,0:11:13.973
and how I look at visual art.

0:11:13.973,0:11:16.542
And even more than that,[br]an inspiration to me

0:11:16.542,0:11:19.912
creatively overall, their[br]work showed me that something

0:11:19.912,0:11:23.382
so unique and so special and[br]so, so dense and sprawling

0:11:23.382,0:11:25.618
and so unconcerned[br]with popular appeal.

0:11:25.618,0:11:27.520
Some of the show is just[br]cruel and revolting,

0:11:27.520,0:11:29.622
one of the main[br]cast is a pedophile,

0:11:29.622,0:11:32.925
could exist and it[br]inspired me a lot.

0:11:32.925,0:11:35.094
I never get a lot of views[br]on my YouTube channel,

0:11:35.094,0:11:36.729
but I do make what[br]I want to make

0:11:36.729,0:11:39.799
with little regard to views[br]and I'm really proud of that.

0:11:39.799,0:11:42.268
And Doc Hammer and Jackson[br]Publick and their whole attitude

0:11:42.268,0:11:44.403
towards the art they make[br]is a big reason for that.

0:11:44.403,0:11:47.473
Even if I make dumb video[br]essays and not an adult

0:11:47.473,0:11:49.241
swim cartoon, I[br]mean, coincidentally,

0:11:49.241,0:11:52.011
I just quoted Hammer in a[br]video I put out last month,

0:11:52.011,0:11:54.513
the comedy one, the show has[br]been a creative influence

0:11:54.513,0:11:56.849
on me and an influence[br]on me as a person

0:11:56.849,0:11:59.418
since before I became[br]an adult a long time.

0:11:59.418,0:12:02.254
It's two art weirdos who[br]loved comics and loved movies

0:12:02.254,0:12:04.757
and loved music and had this[br]story they wanted to tell

0:12:04.757,0:12:07.860
and they told it until[br]because capitalism

0:12:07.860,0:12:10.596
has a stranglehold[br]on any art being made

0:12:10.596,0:12:12.398
in the country I live in,

0:12:12.398,0:12:14.266
I guess it was no longer[br]profitable enough,

0:12:14.266,0:12:15.701
just like "Hannibal" wasn't.

0:12:15.701,0:12:17.103
I don't know.

0:12:17.103,0:12:18.504
I don't know the circumstances[br]of it's cancellation.

0:12:18.504,0:12:20.906
I hope something happens[br]and they can continue.

0:12:20.906,0:12:23.109
If you can do something[br]to help make that happen.

0:12:23.109,0:12:24.376
Please do.

0:12:24.376,0:12:26.078
If you have Hulu, the[br]whole show is on Hulu.

0:12:26.078,0:12:28.347
First season is a little[br]rough, but by two or three

0:12:28.347,0:12:30.816
it picks up a lot and by four[br]and five it's really, really

0:12:30.816,0:12:34.320
good and by six and[br]seven it's transcendent.

0:12:34.320,0:12:36.155
Specifically like I said,[br]the Blue Morpho arc,

0:12:36.155,0:12:37.423
it's like a three episode arc.

0:12:37.423,0:12:39.358
And I think after[br]that, The Monarch

0:12:39.358,0:12:42.328
who was like Dr. Venture's rival,

0:12:42.328,0:12:44.630
I had always liked[br]that character

0:12:44.630,0:12:47.032
but after that I think he[br]became my favorite character

0:12:47.032,0:12:49.335
and everything that happens[br]in it is just incredible.

0:12:49.335,0:12:51.303
Also some of what I said[br]in the intro to this video

0:12:51.303,0:12:53.773
about the characters[br]changes as the show goes on,

0:12:53.773,0:12:56.375
I know that please don't be[br]a pedant in the comments.

0:12:56.375,0:12:58.644
I said what I said to[br]avoid spoiling people.

0:12:58.644,0:13:00.513
Speaking of spoilers,[br]here's part of a clip

0:13:00.513,0:13:02.615
I thought was really[br]nice that Ken Plume

0:13:02.615,0:13:04.049
tweeted to close out.

0:13:04.049,0:13:05.885
It's a song Publick and[br]Hammer wanted to use

0:13:05.885,0:13:08.053
for the ending of a[br]season three episode,

0:13:08.053,0:13:09.555
but weren't able to[br]get the rights to

0:13:09.555,0:13:11.957
and Plume edited[br]music over the clip.

0:13:11.957,0:13:13.859
I think I saw it before[br]when he had initially

0:13:13.859,0:13:15.494
tweeted it out a while ago,

0:13:15.494,0:13:18.664
but he tweeted it again[br]after the cancellation

0:13:18.664,0:13:21.233
and I've just been[br]like sitting here,

0:13:21.233,0:13:23.769
watching it over and over[br]and getting emotional.

0:13:23.769,0:13:25.871
The song is "Not The[br]First Time" by Neil Innes.

0:13:25.871,0:13:29.074
The episode is The[br]Invisible Hand of Fate

0:13:29.074,0:13:30.509
and here it is.

0:13:30.509,0:13:32.011
- [Hatred] Dismissed, Samson!

0:13:32.011,0:13:33.245
- [Brock] What about the kid?

0:13:33.245,0:13:34.613
- [Hatred] What, do you want to adopt him?

0:13:34.613,0:13:36.649
I said take it on the arches.

0:13:38.117,0:13:42.121
Psi-Ops needs guinea pigs for[br]the memory wipe project, okay?

0:13:42.121,0:13:45.057
So, unlike you, he[br]still works here.
