00:08:08,421 --> 00:08:12,191 and referential and pay off after years and years 202 00:08:12,191 --> 00:08:15,161 of buildup venture brothers is what you get 203 00:08:15,161 --> 00:08:18,030 when a medium self actualizes. 204 00:08:18,030 --> 00:08:19,932 I have multiple projects in the works to go into 205 00:08:19,932 --> 00:08:21,334 the show's history and analyze it. 206 00:08:21,334 --> 00:08:24,170 But in very brief here, Jackson Publick was a storyboard 207 00:08:24,170 --> 00:08:26,105 artist and a comic artist and he came up with the show 208 00:08:26,105 --> 00:08:27,974 and pitched it and got his friend Doc Hammer involved 209 00:08:27,974 --> 00:08:30,576 to help him and they've written almost every single episode. 210 00:08:30,576 --> 00:08:34,881 And I think Hammer edits the show and Publick directs it 211 00:08:34,881 --> 00:08:36,516 and they voice most of the cast 212 00:08:36,516 --> 00:08:39,418 and it's been on 16 years with only seven seasons 213 00:08:39,418 --> 00:08:41,554 because of how much work they put in individually 214 00:08:41,554 --> 00:08:43,556 and how meticulous the production of it is. 215 00:08:43,556 --> 00:08:45,057 I'd highly recommend the art book, 216 00:08:45,057 --> 00:08:47,493 which has in depth sections on the conception and history 217 00:08:47,493 --> 00:08:50,296 of every episode through season six 218 00:08:50,296 --> 00:08:52,932 and is like 375 pages long. 219 00:08:52,932 --> 00:08:54,834 I'm going to be more active than I usually am 220 00:08:54,834 --> 00:08:56,035 with this sort of situation 221 00:08:56,035 --> 00:08:58,371 in trying to get the show uncanceled. 222 00:08:58,371 --> 00:09:00,439 I don't know how much online petitions ever do, 223 00:09:00,439 --> 00:09:01,641 but I'll sign them. 224 00:09:01,641 --> 00:09:03,042 I'm going to write letters and mail them. 225 00:09:03,042 --> 00:09:04,710 I'm going to keep tweeting depressing tweets 226 00:09:04,710 --> 00:09:06,946 about how upset I am, whatever. 227 00:09:06,946 --> 00:09:09,282 And I've read HBO Max, maybe picking up the show. 228 00:09:09,282 --> 00:09:11,050 But I also read a bunch about how "Hannibal" was going 229 00:09:11,050 --> 00:09:13,286 to be picked up by a streaming service when it got canceled 230 00:09:13,286 --> 00:09:15,655 and that was five years ago and I'm still waiting. 231 00:09:15,655 --> 00:09:17,123 If right after I put this video up 232 00:09:17,123 --> 00:09:18,624 it is announced that "The Venture Brothers" 233 00:09:18,624 --> 00:09:21,227 is no longer canceled and will be taken care of by HBO 234 00:09:21,227 --> 00:09:23,930 then like stellar, I will be elated. 235 00:09:23,930 --> 00:09:26,632 "The Venture Brothers" is just such a perfect articulation 236 00:09:26,632 --> 00:09:29,101 of what it means to be human. 237 00:09:29,101 --> 00:09:32,972 Like I think of "Ikiru" and I think of "The 400 Blows" 238 00:09:32,972 --> 00:09:37,677 as these sweet moving works on, you know, 239 00:09:37,677 --> 00:09:39,712 these works on humanity 240 00:09:39,712 --> 00:09:41,814 or like "Bicycle Thieves" or something. 241 00:09:41,814 --> 00:09:43,783 And I think through it's darkness 242 00:09:43,783 --> 00:09:46,185 and its cruelty and its crassness 243 00:09:46,185 --> 00:09:49,989 along with the earned genuine sweet moments 244 00:09:49,989 --> 00:09:52,425 Venture Brothers makes me feel the same way. 245 00:09:52,425 --> 00:09:54,060 And it's like these two New York 246 00:09:54,060 --> 00:09:56,228 art weirdos doing cartoon voices together. 247 00:09:56,228 --> 00:09:59,599 - We have two voices that we do that are almost the same voice 248 00:09:59,599 --> 00:10:01,634 there's the guy from the The Council of 13. 249 00:10:01,634 --> 00:10:03,336 The one who speaks like this. 250 00:10:03,336 --> 00:10:05,738 And then he does Ghost Robot 251 00:10:05,738 --> 00:10:10,176 and they're really long, horrible voices. 252 00:10:10,176 --> 00:10:13,879 I want to do a whole episode that is just those two guys 253 00:10:13,879 --> 00:10:16,849 talking and just excruciating everybody around them 254 00:10:16,849 --> 00:10:18,184 not having a good time. 255 00:10:18,184 --> 00:10:19,719 - [Shannon] Making references to bands 256 00:10:19,719 --> 00:10:21,220 I've never heard of that I especially never heard of 257 00:10:21,220 --> 00:10:23,155 when I was 13, when the show started. 258 00:10:23,155 --> 00:10:25,524 - We've been trying to get into an episode since day one 259 00:10:25,524 --> 00:10:26,759 and it's not even funny. 260 00:10:26,759 --> 00:10:28,828 - It's really not gonna be funny with all this build up. 261 00:10:28,828 --> 00:10:31,130 - You guys won't even, you won't like it 262 00:10:31,130 --> 00:10:33,680 but we want Hank to go, "Stop wasting all my time-time!" 263 00:10:34,420 --> 00:10:35,660 which is like the world's w- 264 00:10:35,700 --> 00:10:38,571 - [Jackson in Hank Voice] "Wasting all my time-time!" 265 00:10:38,580 --> 00:10:41,080 (audience laughing) - [Jackson] Little miss little miss can't be wr- I was gonna say that- 266 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:44,320 It's kind of based on, uh, little miss little miss cant be wrong 267 00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:48,314 - But it's from a Cars song and I just think it'd be 268 00:10:48,314 --> 00:10:52,118 so funny if Hank for some reason knows a Cars song. 269 00:10:52,118 --> 00:10:53,452 'Cause he has this like weird recollection 270 00:10:53,452 --> 00:10:55,621 of crap that never happened to him. 271 00:10:55,621 --> 00:10:56,989 - [Hank] And they kill clean. 272 00:10:56,989 --> 00:10:59,725 Don't let dames get in the way. 273 00:10:59,725 --> 00:11:02,428 - [Brock] Honestly, Hank, where do you pick that stuff up? 274 00:11:02,428 --> 00:11:03,596 I never see you read. 275 00:11:03,596 --> 00:11:04,764 - [Dean] It's weird, right? 276 00:11:04,764 --> 00:11:06,565 - [Brock] It's like he channels dead crazy people. 277 00:11:06,565 --> 00:11:08,401 - [Hank] You think it's a cry for help? 278 00:11:08,401 --> 00:11:10,002 - [Shannon] I'm around 30 now and it's been a part 279 00:11:10,002 --> 00:11:12,705 of my brain for that long, part of how I draw 280 00:11:12,705 --> 00:11:13,973 and how I look at visual art. 281 00:11:13,973 --> 00:11:16,542 And even more than that, an inspiration to me 282 00:11:16,542 --> 00:11:19,912 creatively overall, their work showed me that something 283 00:11:19,912 --> 00:11:23,382 so unique and so special and so, so dense and sprawling 284 00:11:23,382 --> 00:11:25,618 and so unconcerned with popular appeal. 285 00:11:25,618 --> 00:11:27,520 Some of the show is just cruel and revolting, 286 00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:29,622 one of the main cast is a pedophile, 287 00:11:29,622 --> 00:11:32,925 could exist and it inspired me a lot. 288 00:11:32,925 --> 00:11:35,094 I never get a lot of views on my YouTube channel, 289 00:11:35,094 --> 00:11:36,729 but I do make what I want to make 290 00:11:36,729 --> 00:11:39,799 with little regard to views and I'm really proud of that. 291 00:11:39,799 --> 00:11:42,268 And Doc Hammer and Jackson Publick and their whole attitude 292 00:11:42,268 --> 00:11:44,403 towards the art they make is a big reason for that. 293 00:11:44,403 --> 00:11:47,473 Even if I make dumb video essays and not an adult 294 00:11:47,473 --> 00:11:49,241 swim cartoon, I mean, coincidentally, 295 00:11:49,241 --> 00:11:52,011 I just quoted Hammer in a video I put out last month, 296 00:11:52,011 --> 00:11:54,513 the comedy one, the show has been a creative influence 297 00:11:54,513 --> 00:11:56,849 on me and an influence on me as a person 298 00:11:56,849 --> 00:11:59,418 since before I became an adult a long time. 299 00:11:59,418 --> 00:12:02,254 It's two art weirdos who loved comics and loved movies 300 00:12:02,254 --> 00:12:04,757 and loved music and had this story they wanted to tell 301 00:12:04,757 --> 00:12:07,860 and they told it until because capitalism 302 00:12:07,860 --> 00:12:10,596 has a stranglehold on any art being made 303 00:12:10,596 --> 00:12:12,398 in the country I live in, 304 00:12:12,398 --> 00:12:14,266 I guess it was no longer profitable enough, 305 00:12:14,266 --> 00:12:15,701 just like "Hannibal" wasn't. 306 00:12:15,701 --> 00:12:17,103 I don't know. 307 00:12:17,103 --> 00:12:18,504 I don't know the circumstances of it's cancellation. 308 00:12:18,504 --> 00:12:20,906 I hope something happens and they can continue. 309 00:12:20,906 --> 00:12:23,109 If you can do something to help make that happen. 310 00:12:23,109 --> 00:12:24,376 Please do. 311 00:12:24,376 --> 00:12:26,078 If you have Hulu, the whole show is on Hulu. 312 00:12:26,078 --> 00:12:28,347 First season is a little rough, but by two or three 313 00:12:28,347 --> 00:12:30,816 it picks up a lot and by four and five it's really, really 314 00:12:30,816 --> 00:12:34,320 good and by six and seven it's transcendent. 315 00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:36,155 Specifically like I said, the Blue Morpho arc, 316 00:12:36,155 --> 00:12:37,423 it's like a three episode arc. 317 00:12:37,423 --> 00:12:39,358 And I think after that, The Monarch 318 00:12:39,358 --> 00:12:42,328 who was like Dr. Venture's rival, 319 00:12:42,328 --> 00:12:44,630 I had always liked that character 320 00:12:44,630 --> 00:12:47,032 but after that I think he became my favorite character 321 00:12:47,032 --> 00:12:49,335 and everything that happens in it is just incredible. 322 00:12:49,335 --> 00:12:51,303 Also some of what I said in the intro to this video 323 00:12:51,303 --> 00:12:53,773 about the characters changes as the show goes on, 324 00:12:53,773 --> 00:12:56,375 I know that please don't be a pedant in the comments. 325 00:12:56,375 --> 00:12:58,644 I said what I said to avoid spoiling people. 326 00:12:58,644 --> 00:13:00,513 Speaking of spoilers, here's part of a clip 327 00:13:00,513 --> 00:13:02,615 I thought was really nice that Ken Plume 328 00:13:02,615 --> 00:13:04,049 tweeted to close out. 329 00:13:04,049 --> 00:13:05,885 It's a song Publick and Hammer wanted to use 330 00:13:05,885 --> 00:13:08,053 for the ending of a season three episode, 331 00:13:08,053 --> 00:13:09,555 but weren't able to get the rights to 332 00:13:09,555 --> 00:13:11,957 and Plume edited music over the clip. 333 00:13:11,957 --> 00:13:13,859 I think I saw it before when he had initially 334 00:13:13,859 --> 00:13:15,494 tweeted it out a while ago, 335 00:13:15,494 --> 00:13:18,664 but he tweeted it again after the cancellation 336 00:13:18,664 --> 00:13:21,233 and I've just been like sitting here, 337 00:13:21,233 --> 00:13:23,769 watching it over and over and getting emotional. 338 00:13:23,769 --> 00:13:25,871 The song is "Not The First Time" by Neil Innes. 339 00:13:25,871 --> 00:13:29,074 The episode is The Invisible Hand of Fate 340 00:13:29,074 --> 00:13:30,509 and here it is. 341 00:13:30,509 --> 00:13:32,011 - [Hatred] Dismissed, Samson! 342 00:13:32,011 --> 00:13:33,245 - [Brock] What about the kid? 343 00:13:33,245 --> 00:13:34,613 - [Hatred] What, do you want to adopt him? 344 00:13:34,613 --> 00:13:36,649 I said take it on the arches. 345 00:13:38,117 --> 00:13:42,121 Psi-Ops needs guinea pigs for the memory wipe project, okay? 346 00:13:42,121 --> 00:13:45,057 So, unlike you, he still works here. 347 00:13:47,793 --> 00:13:50,362 (somber music) 348 00:13:59,371 --> 00:14:04,276 ♪ No, this is not the first
