I knew this was going to be a great set but what turned it from great to impossibly awesome was on the back of the box- 'the sturmiest, most drangful season yet'. That one phrase filled me with a happiness I could not have foreseen.

Yeah, "drangful" impressed the hell out of me.

The DVD's been great. I'd forgotten how good "Buddy System" was.

I hereby change my assessment from impossibly awesome to f'ing incredible! Everything about it exceeds my already high expectations. Menu screens, deleted scenes, commentaries, everything. Only quibble is the interior packaging. I understand that it's supposed to be Doc and Brock and the boys but none of them look even close to their animated counterparts. Unless that's the point, in which case great job again guys.

I imagine that's the point. I find it really funny.

As do I. I just wasn't sure how intentional it was.

If you're old enough to remember any video game advertisements from back in the Atari days, that's the way they always looked. It looks like Sinterniklaas is Dean in the photo, so it might be all the voice actors playing their characters, which might be why they don't look too much like the cartoon.

I wish that photograph was a little clearer. I'd like to see what kind of console they're playing, it doesn't look like an Atari 2600. Those joysticks look pretty odd too.

I'm a bit bummed that there aren't any weird extras on the DVD. I know they warned us ahead of time, but I was hoping they'd whip something up after all, or at least throw on some of the Adultswim.com convention footage.

Nah, those are all people from Atlanta I believe. I recall there being a Craigslist ad many months ago looking for people who resembled VB characters to pose for a picture for the DVD (for no pay, haha). You're correct about them spoofing an old Atari ad though. That's pretty amusing, I didn't even think of that until you mentioned it.
