FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Answered for you by: Jackson Publick III & Doc Hammer

  • Q: When will VENTURE BROS fans be able to buy DVDs of the complete first season?
    A: We read somewhere on the internet that a DVD collection will be available in Oct. of 05. You see what is going on here? We're getting our information from the same place you do -- this here internet.

  • Q: I love VENTURE BROS. My friends love VENTURE BROS. My family loves VENTURE BROS. My Aunt Gertie loves AQUA TEEN. What's the deal with a second season of VENTURE BROS?
    A: We don't know. Maybe keep checking the internet for that, too.

  • Q: Where are the t-shirts?
    A: They are kept in a temperature controlled "clean chamber". To release one of these most precious of objects, you must throw money at Adult Swim. To facilitate this process, Adult Swim has boldly placed the Venture Bros. t-shirts somewhere on like page three of the t-shirts section of the adult apparel section of their online shop, because of their staunch adherence to the alphabet. And after you get your fine T-shirt in your hot hands, know that Jackson and Doc have way cooler ones they made themselves that you will never get unless you find one on e-bay (and they are not $60 worth of cool, so don't bother). Also, know that both Jackson and Doc have only just received a free "skull logo" T-shirt... after they asked like ten times.

  • Q: How about the action figures?
    A: Dude... take it slow. There has been one season of this show. It will all come to those who wait. Have faith in Adult Swim. Also know that Jackson has a plush penthouse with one of those video phones to inspect visitors ("The Jewel of the East Village"--House & Home Magazine, Aug. '03) and Doc has a penchant for luxurious bespoke suits . This lifestyle must be maintained! There is no way that they won't make some six inch, plastic, piece of Brock to keep up all that they have grown accustomed to.

  • Q: What about merchandise in general?
    A: On the "easel" now are plans for the following pieces of merchandise:
    1. My Pretty Dean (A life-size disembodied head of Dean Venture with actual acrylic hair)
    2. Brock's and Ladders (A children's game. Ages: 3-7)
    3. Dr. Orpheus' Dragon Rider Play-basket (Additional canisters of "Action Dragon's Breath", available through mail order only)
    4. The Venture Family "Great Moments in SuperScience" commemorative plate set
    5. Songs in the Key of Hank (Hank Venture's solo album of soul standards)
    6. Life sized collectors' replica of Mr. White frozen in carbonite

  • Q: What can I, as a fan, do to help promote the show?
    A: Fansites, articles in your school paper, gigantic graffiti professing your love, letter upon letter to Adult Swim executives, a bake sale, fun-run, purchasing Venture Brothers paraphernalia from Adult Swim, get super-famous and wear said paraphernalia on a popular chat show... All will help the cause.

  • Q: I'm young. I've got spunk. I wanna work in the hallowed halls of AstrobaseGo and help craft the future of the already-classic VENTURE BROS. What do I have to do to get a job - or be a sad, pathetic, and endlessly abused intern - on the show?
    A: The show is not in production at this time. So, as an intern for AstroBase Go, you will be expected to do the following things:
    1. Put up with two guys that insist their 8th floor NYC studio is in fact a space station that orbits the moon. They will not let up with this insistence. At first you will think it's "cute" or "funny"... Later you will actually argue the "facts" with them, explaining that it is impossible. Without flinching, both Jackson and Doc will inform you that your memory has been "tampered with" due to the fact that you looked directly into the nozzle (they warned you not to do that.)
    2. Doc needs help with stretching canvases and washing paint brushes. This has nothing to do with funny cartoon shows.
    3. Are you extra-attractive? Do you enjoy second hand smoke? If you answered "yes" to either of these questions, Jackson will hand you an outfit that he designed...and he expects you to wear it...in public...possibly while riding a Vespa with "Astrobase Go!" stencilled on it (the stencilling is actually your first official "Astro-task"). And yes, it has a matching tiny hat (the men's version has a tiny helmet.)

  • Q: Who is Soul Bot?
    A: Soul-Bot is a bulky electric nanny who possesses the metal ams that first hugged Jackson and Doc. His rich and hilarious origins are a very long story, that will be unraveled on the Official Venture Brothers Website some time soon. But to see what a Soul-Bot looks like, just watch the AstroBase Go bumper at the end of every Venture Bros. episode (he is the metal guy being pointed to by General Bot.)

  • Q: Are you comic book fans?
    A: Jackson: Yes-ish.
    Doc: Kinda-almost.

  • Q: What does the "S." stand for in Thaddeus S. Venture?
    A: That has yet to be established. It's most likely an affectation, like Harry S. Truman or Jesus S. Christ, but we like to think it stands for "Super-Sexy". We like to think that...with our minds...

  • Q: Why focus an entire episode on Testicular Torsion ?
    A: Because Doc had testicular torsion (fixed, he is fine)... Write what you know. And because FCC rules require that 22 minutes of a series' content has to be devoted to public service and education.

  • Q: Are Hank, Dean, Doc Venture, Brock - etc., etc. - clones?
    A: Stewie is gay. Mastershake is vanilla.

  • Q: Is Dr. Girlfriend a man, a woman, or some wretched freak of science?
    A: Where is the fun in knowing? Think of it as a never ending Christmas Eve. What's in the big box? Could be a super cool flying mini-bike... Could be a pair of underpants. Or even the always-funny, never-predictable gag of putting a bunch of smaller boxes inside a bigger box.

  • Q: When Race Bannon shows up and is seen fighting henchmen dressed like cobras, is that, like, the same as COBRA from GI JOE? Or am I just a total geek?
    A: Geek. Not total geek. But a lesser strain of geek. They're also kinda like the H.Y.D.R.A. guys from Nick Fury.

  • Q: I love H.E.L.P.eR. Can you please give us more H.E.L.P.eR.?
    A: Sure.

  • Q: I hate H.E.L.P.eR. Can you please not give us any more H.E.L.P.eR.?
    A: Sure.

  • Q: Scuba?
    A: Scuba... Say scuba. Scuba, scuba. Sounds funny. Scuba.

  • Q: Who's stronger - Baron Underbheit or Brock? Or Andre the Giant? What about Galaxy Glue?
    A: Are you the same geek who asked the C.O.B.R.A. question? In a dead-lift... Underbhiet's stronger. But Brock can do more reps. Andre the Giant is a dead guy but his tongue was bigger than both of theirs when he was alive.

  • Q: Why no mob assassins?
    A: All unsolicited cliches will be returned, unopened.

  • Q: What are the lyrics to "Brock's Workout Song"?
    A: Jasper McVain's Revv Me Up
    (Verse 1)
    I've got a heart like a prune
    I want to snake through your dune
    You know the moment is mine (mine)
    I'm gonna slaughter some time
    I want to spit some exhaust
    I want to break through some frost

    And when the moment is right, I'm gonna fly a kite

    This ride is gonna be rough
    This meat is gonna be tough
    I've got a heart like a beet
    I feel the gas in my feet
    This naked preacher will play
    He'll wrassle Satan today

    And when the moment is right, I'm gonna go fly a kite

    (Chorus)
    This is the moment
    The very instant
    That we've all been waitin' for
    No stupid gimmicks, or Halloween tricks

    Let's get together and number our sores

    A very pretty one
    A very fancy one
    That has my likeness thereon
    Only drawn as if I were a drone

    Let's get together and number our sores

    (Verse 2)
    This day I make my request
    I put the sward to my chest
    You see, it all comes down to this
    "I'll knock you flat with a kiss"
    I'm full of blood and pea-pods
    I'm full of mud and corn-cobs

    And when the moment is right, I'm gonna go fly a kite

    This stunt is makin' it through
    The game is nick-named P-U
    I've got a heart like a welt
    It's time to lift up my kilt
    I'll rip the monkey to shreds
    I'll make a shoe of his head

    And when the moment is right, I'm gonna go fly a kite

    (repeat Chorus)

    (Chorus Break)
    A quite disgusting one
    A quite delightful one
    With blood running splatters thereon
    Only drawn like an explosion of scum

    Let's get together and number our sores

    A quite disgusting one
    A quite delightful one
    With a dead, headless monkey thereon
    Like a airborne primate savior hanging ten

    Let's get together and number our sores

    Thanks Terry, thanks Bess, thanks Max, thanks Jasper...

Go Team Venture!
