I finally got to watch this episode online last night. I can't even begin to explain how disapointed I am in Doc and Jackson, on their decision to make the Charger Electric.
Congradulations D&J on figuring out how to completely strip Brock of his manliness.
Further, I've always been such a fan of the fact that Venture bros. never took sides on political points. I'm apretty disapointed that they made a "Go-Green" reference.
Venture always just seemed like it was of a higher calibur of show than that.
I guess with last season's "Hatred's silly-putty scrotum" joke and this season's go green, I suppose every season gets to have one Family Guy type of moment.

Well I think that's a weird thing to get angry about (the fact remains an all electric engine is more 'green' than a regular gas one, regardless of buzzwords, even taking into account centralization of carbon output being placed with the power plant rather than the car, since central locations are a lot easier to regulate and also shift towards different sources blah blah blah let's not get into that debate). However I do agree that it seemed oddly out of character for Brock to replace the engine in his Charger with an electric one since it basically defeats the primary purpose of owning a Charger. I don't know though, maybe Brock is sick of high gas prices and big oil and he can just plug his car in at the Venture Compound for free.

ATTENTION ALL: I am sorry if I came off as a tool.
I Restore HotRods for a living, I just have strong thoughts about the issue of electric motors where Engines should be.
Even if it was supposed to be funny, and putting aside my VERY strong feelings toward the "go-green movement;" Just knowing what I do about the effectiveness of electric vehicles, and especially electric motors in Large old vehicles, I just found it to be really unnecessary beat, especially given that doc was in an airplane hanger, and never could have asphixiated himself anyway.
But no matter! Again, I'm sorry if I came off like a tool, I should keep my rantings to myself, and I apologize.

Well, thanks 'H'
Then I'm going to rant one more time, and this time will prove there is no bias in my opinion about that type of joke: I just finally got to watch Silent Partners last night, and I was again disapointed when they made a 'Legalize gay marriage, and pot' statement and tried to pass it off as humor. -And I support those issues!
But they did it just to be all hot-topical. There is nothing funny about making your gay character say he's moving to a place with legal gay marriage. That isn't a joke, it's just relying on people's strong opinions to cary it through without making an actual joke.....I'm sorry to go a-ranting again. I've just gone for years praising the Venture Bros. for being so original, it doesn't need to rely on politics, or current affairs to carry it, as so many others do.

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
