Wow...
This was totally not what I was expecting (a follow up to ORB, which now seems like it's going to be the Season 4 arc, most likely), but I'm still fairly satisfied with what's here, namely, the chance for Brock to finally go sickhouse on some deserving folks, which has been one of the only things truly lacking for the last season and a half. Notably, though, it seems to have been something deliberately ignored just to make this episode that much more of a gut-puncher.
Favorite bits:
--The classic 'oil on the highway' routine that's thwarted when the gun loving German proved skillful enough a motorcycle rider to actually avoid.
--The frog-line trick the second guy managed to snag Brock with. Ridiculous, yes, but somehow fitting with the world the show operates in.
--The whole shark sequence, beginning to end. 'nuff said.
--Dean's recalling of 'the only weapon you'll ever need'... priceless...
--Moltov and the Blackhearts... hope that's not the last we see of them...
--The fact that the Monarch believes enough in his wife that he'd send her after BROCK SAMSON expecting her to come back alive...
--Lowbrow, I know, but the scene with the Moppets and Dean's stuffed giraffe had me rolling in the floor.
--HELPeR as the landing gear... the animation on that scene was just beautiful. I really felt bad for the poor robot that time (after all the other times his injuries have been played for laughs).
If I watch it again, I'm sure I'll find more...

Yes, in light of this being "a show about failure", everyone seems to be hot for someone who is not interested in them or otherwise unavailable: Sheila for Brock, 21 for Sheila, Brock for Molotov, etc. Dean and Triana break that pattern, but I'm sure Dean will figure some other way to fail.

I've been holding back on this thought, because I was hoping I'd see evidence it wasn't true, but when it comes to her Moppets, Sheila is bug nuts crazy.
*My babies!* Hello? Homicidal foul-mouthed little people who threaten your husband and his crew, babies? I guess she has to have something to make her more than the perfect babe henchwoman/girlfriend/hottie, but man is that a bringdown.

I would be remiss if I didn't point out that Molotov is most certainly interested in Brock. She just can't "connsumate" because of her chastity belt. I'm sure that's symbolic of something, but if you go back and watch Assassinanny 911 she is very obviously hot for Brock. But if your point was that he was hot for her and couldn;t have her, then yes, you're right. I hope at some point they go more into what the heck's up with that chastity belt.

Did anyone get a R2 vibe from HELPeR when he was screaming?
Also, the logic behind OSI wanting to kill Brock is kinda off. Originally, Brock was supposed to be killed after he killed Rusty for messing with the ORB. But Brock didn't kill Rusty because he wasn't going to use it. Yet they still want to kill Brock, but not Rusty? Why? Because the car told them to? I know it's just a cartoon, but it's one of those plots that unravels if you spend more that five minutes thinking about it.

Bureaucratic screw-up.
The car sent a message to OSI headquarters, the computer printed out a couple-three orders, they went with a whole stack of papers to some GS-10 who signed them without reading them.
Or something.
These things happen.
Also, it gives a way to resolve it without killing Brock or permanently breaking up the Venture family.

I find it hard to believe that no one has mentioned the Robot Chicken Season 11 finale with the Venture Bros Season 8 scene at the very end: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKH-J3f2RkM
