I have to admit, I was a little disappointed. Don't get me wrong it had a lot of funny parts- but I was totally hoping for some cool season-spanning adventure that would eventually bring the boys back. And while seeing the boys die over and over was pretty awesome, in my mind it rings too much of Kenny from South Park. I hope the boys don't die again anytime soon...

I'm glad someone else agrees. And you're right- perhaps what was really bothering me was the way that it basically "doesn't matter" if the boys die because they can just be cloned again. Figuring out what over-the-top way Brock is going to save them seems kind of meaningless now.

Hm, I dunno... I'm withholding judgment until the next episode or perhaps the one after it, whenever we get to see the new-and-not-really-improved clones. Somehow I don't think that Doc and Brock's explanation is the 100% concrete nail in this particular coffin (wow, I just combined like three affirmative-implying analogies).

I liked how they did it because if you think of it like Johnny Quest... yeah he should have died a lot I mean damn. So the fact that it's done in such a way that it's not really a big deal makes it more... realistic(I know nothing bout the show is, but you catch my drift i hope)

I'd also like to think that the whole reason Brock saves the boys in over the top manners is to avoid having to deal with the whole clone growing process- since the fact that they feel like big Stretch Armstrongs creeps him out.
It's probably less hassle to save them, and killing someone in the process is gravy.

Well, they are still living humans, so it's not like he's going to go "oh well screw them I'll go bang some chicks instead"... the cloning thing seems more like a backup because they seem to die so much. a lot of their deaths didn't come from a mission/adventure Brock and Doc were on, but rather the boys being stupid like standing next to the X-1 when it was takin off or running with scissors or jumping off the roof of the compound.
Also I doubt it'll become a gimmick for them to die. Jackson has said that when he originally came up with the show he wanted them to die every episode, but then South Park came along and did the same thing, so he had to scrap the idea. They might die at the end of each season (that's speculation on my part), but it won't quite carry the same weight it did at the end of season one of course.

Well, the original idea for the show was to have the boys die in almost every episode as a parody to all those Hardy Boys adventures where doing something like following a criminal around would get you killed. There were several years between the conception of the show and its actual birth and they scrapped the recurring deaths idea when South Park started.

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
