Capítulo anterior:  "Now Museum-Now You Don't"

Episodio: Temporada 3, Episodio 10
Escrito por: Doc Hammer
Fecha Original: 3 de Agosto, 2008.
Debut de Personajes: Mr. Doe, Mr. Cardholder, Ventronic, Henchman 1.

Trama: Jonas Jr. busca el consejo de Brock y dos agentes de la OSI, Mr. Doe y Mr. Cardholder, sobre cómo lidiar con su nuevo nemesis, The Monarch. Le autorizan eliminarlo, utilizando un rayo de la muerte, ya que The Monarch ha matado a sus últimos cinco archenemies. The Monarch envía a 21, 24, y a 1 (¿??) a que se infiltren en Spider-Skull Island para realizar una misión secreta. 

Trivia Favorita: Me reí mucho con Ventronic, una de mis secuencias favoritas de la serie. (Más trivia en The Mantis Eye Project.)

Diálogo Favorito: Mr. Doe y Mr. Cardholder y 21 y 24 con 1 tienen diálogos de oro:

THE MONARCH
Alright, I have another idea. [patches through to J.J. again] I'm trying to arch here! This isn't how it's done! Honestly, what are you doing you retard?!


NED
No, no word!

JONAS JR.
Yes it is, Ned.

THE MONARCH
Did he just cut me off?

JONAS JR.
Retard is a hateful word. We don't use those slurs.

THE MONARCH
I'm your arch enemy. I'm not going to use 'bungling boobs' or 'meddling kids', it's not my style! That guy needs to get a thicker skin.

JONAS JR.
Thicker skin? Poor Ned has skin that's three inches thick. Now how do you think that makes him feel?

THE MONARCH
Itchy? I don't know, just keep it cat and mouse, not cat and missile.
_____________

DR. GIRLFRIEND
I gotta ask this. Is there a reason you always use 21 and 24?

THE MONARCH
I know it sounds crazy, but they both have that rare blend of expendable and invulnerable that makes for a perfect henchman.
_____________


JONAS JR.
To whom are the dead men I'm speaking?

MR. DOE
That's a joke.

MR. CARDHOLDER
A regular cutup.

MR. DOE
They should give him a reality show.

MR. CARDHOLDER
I'd watch it.

MR. DOE
I'd watch it twice.

MR. CARDHOLDER
Even if Flava-flav was in it.

HENCHMAN 1
That tunnel down there leads to the main room. Take a deep breath, I'm not sure how long it is.

HENCHMAN 24

No way, I got freaked out when I had to do that playing Tomb Raider.

HENCHMAN 21

Oh and she did that creepy drowning contortion thing. That was grizzly! Yeah, no way.

HENCHMAN 1

What? We have to. This is how we get to the main room to complete the Dark S-7 maneuver. [21 and 24 ignore him and get out of the water] Okay, fine, I'll go ahead alone. [he takes a deep breath]

HENCHMAN 24

Going alone. This is why you new guys always die. You just can't smell a cliche coming.

HENCHMAN 21

Dude, you are way too into this. Seriously. What kind of douche would blindly swim an underwater tunnel?
_____________


BROCK
Aww no fuckin' way! Late 60's ultra death ray! She's amazing! Saddle operated with Doom-code gearing. Freakin' gorgeous.

MR. CARDHOLDER

If I were a woman I'd marry it.

MR. DOE

And I'd jeopardize our friendship by nailing your hot wife.
_____________


HENCHMAN 21
You still don't get it. 24 and I have been on, like, a thousand missions. We've been shot at, dipped in acid...

HENCHMAN 24

Brock Samson hit me with a car. Drove right into my kidney. Here I am!

HENCHMAN 21

Yeah, we can walk across this floor and nothing would hit us. But then like this huge log would swing down and take your head off.

HENCHMAN 24

Hey, here; what's your name?

HENCHMAN 1

Henchman number 1.

HENCHMAN 24

See, you are nameless.

HENCHMAN 1

I'm Scott Hall. My name is Scott Hall. Okay?

HENCHMAN 24

Nooo, won't help.

HENCHMAN 21

Yeah, now it's just pathos. So you're dying in my lap and I'm all "Scott! Scott don't you quit on us! Don't you dare!!"

HENCHMAN 24

You just made your unavoidable death more pathetic.

HENCHMAN 21

[pause] Fuck it. Nothing's gonna happen to me.

(21 and 24 walk past 1 and onto the tripwired floor. Henchman 1 pauses for a second as they walk past him and finally decides to follow. Inevitably the alarm goes off.)


HENCHMAN 1

Oh, come on!!

Review: 
Amo este capítulo. Ventronic obviamente es una razón especial para ello, pero sobre todo, es por la introducción ( e inevitable muerte) del Henchman N#1. Es cómo si basicamente Doc Hammer hubiese leido esto y dicho "al carajo", voy a hacer un capítulo basándome en esto! Adoro a 21 y 24 y debo reconocer que saqué un placer casi morboso en que anden torturando psicológicamente al pobre desgraciado. El mismo hecho de que hace dos capítulos hayan mencionado que ellos son "casi personajes principales" hace todo el asunto más divertido aun.

Y eso sin quitarle nada a la historia principal. Mr. Doe y Mr. Cardholder son dos cretinos, pero dos cretinos bastante divertidos. Especial crédito e importancia le doy a Brock Samson y cómo explica el por qué tener a OSI y al Guild es importante en el mundo de los Venture Brothers:



"Hey no disrespect, Jonas, but it isn't so easy. These guys like their system. It's what they do. You take that away and you are looking at a bunch of pissed off nutbags with ray guns and giant, I don't know, a giant octopus slash tank with laser eyes."

Finalmente, el Monarca y su brillante plan para poder retomar una vez más su labor favorita, de atacar al Doctor Venture... Simplemente genial. No sé que tan intelignente haya sido confiar casi enteramente en 21 y 24 y sin 1 obviamente todo se habría ido al diablo.... pero aun así, genial.

GO TEAM VENTURE!

  1. Nooo este capitulo si fue celestial!!!! desde el principio cuando Jonas jr emieza a cantar because he is a good fella como cague de risa... el momento en q se arma el Ventronic y quieren dar un sablazo y el capitan pirata esta en el brazo y siente la velocidad casi me parto una costilla riendo. Jonas Jr se gano un lugar especial los ultimos 2 capitulos me hizo cagar de risa muchiiisimo... Ver a su henchman 1 q esta destinado a fracasar por q simplemente es un invento en la serie con un solo sentido ayudar en la mision y no aparecer nunca mas. Y luego ver como el capitan pirata se vueve adicto a los dardos tranquilizante jajajajajaja No ya no daba de risa. Finalmente pobre number 1 o scott hall le pasa lo q tenia q pasarle nomas a manos del gran brock. realmente 21 y 24 son lo maximo!!! como te das cuenta q the monarch no es ningun gil.
    "Ohh dude tell me you know where drop point alpha 7 is" INCREIBLE!!!! go team venture.
