Hi Venturoos!

We asked a few questions to our Twitter peeps this week and thought we'd share them (and the totally awesome answers we got!) with you in the blog world, as well. 

We'd love to hear your answers, too, so feel free to comment on this post with yours.

Question 1: Who would you rather be your bag boy at the grocery store: Brock, Dean, Hank, Dr. Venture, Orpheus or The Monarch?

Answers:

JD_BlkHawk_Law: Hank! Brock wouldn't do it, Dean and O would talk to much, DR V would complain too much and Monarch would be too devious!

Venturoo: Definitely Orpheus! Assuming I already had the chance to meet Brock.  Floating goods neatly landing in paper, not plastic

circe154: Hank looks like a bag boy

MadisonJennings: Brock. He can bag me anytime. #win #GoTeamVenture

themarkwebb: U kidding? Orpheus by a LONGSHOT! ever seen that guy cook? he'd be a superb bagger.

_cde:  Dr. Ms. The Monarch, ofcourse ☪

Jojo_Bean: Oh Orpheus all the way.. maybe Monarch but i don't really want a dart to the neck!!

FunnyBunnyLarue: Dr.O 

Diagnostik80:  Brock, all day!!

Diagnostik80: Was I supposed to give a reason? Because he is all win.

snackstar: Dean def. Hank wouldn't care enough to do a good job, brock would break all my eggs, Dr. V would scam helper into doing it

snackstar: Orpheus would talk for 45 min about the advantages of Sage in rituals, and the Monarch would likely try to kill me, butfail

NurseTiger: The Monarch, hands down. I'd pay to see him make fun of my toiletries and poorly chosen dvds

CaBaNa_Dread: Orpheus, for the slight chance of being taken as his apprentice. Also, take your daughter to work day.

DalekEmpress: I think Dean would be the most polite and careful w my purchases, which is what I look for in a bag boy. ...cont.

DalekEmpress: I think the rest would resent bag boy status meaning damaged food. except Hank who would call me out for not tipping.

VeryVentureGrls: Yes! The reasons for Orpheus, The Monarch & Brock are probably our favorites (O for magic, M for snark, B for ooglability/badassery).

Question 2: Best nanny: Dr. V, Sgt. Hatred, Dr. Mrs./Lady Au Pair, Molotov, Dr. Killinger, Murderous Moppets, King Gorilla(RIP), HELPeR, or Brock?

Answers:

barbsobel: Killinger & his Magic Murder Bag.

snackstar: tie between HELPeR and Dr. Killinger

Diagnostik80: I love HELPeR.

xGENOCIDEx: sgt hatred hahaha

lizhanesian: Molotov.

mantiseye: Like best actually being a nanny or most entertaining to outsiders?

VeryVentureGrls: You get to pick! Both!

jsigsbury: dr. ms.

DalekEmpress: I'm going to say Dr. K because he's competent, caring but tough, and magic.

DanskiGuyovitch: dr. killinger for sure

airelav2: The moppets were the best! Like thing 1 and thing 2.

NurseTiger: Killinger was totally awesome with the Venture twins (and adorable). He deserves some recognition as an awesome nanny!

mantiseye: Well in that case my answers are HELPeR, Killinger and Dr. Mrs. The last one is if I had to pick a nanny for me. Meow.

CopperValentine: Its prbly too late to post my opinion - but The Monarch would be best. Everyone else ends up killing kids or hates them.

Thanks for all of your responses, and follow us on Twitter (@VeryVentureGrls) for more super awesome/random/officially informal polls!

Screenshots from Assisted Suicide

Bare-chested Brock must be quite a handful to draw consistently. Metal plate: check, Icarus tat: check.

On Venture stationary, no less. How thoughtful of The Monarch.

This shot was just too cute to pass up. Another Brisby Bee logo in yet another episode (on Dean's raincoat)!

Hank comforting Dean is so cute. "Welcome to the Misfit Toys club."

Rust's box o' favorite things. Medals, trophies, love letters, picture of Loni Anderson, something that looks suspiciously like the Venture Bros. 4.1 DVD (but, as my cohost pointed out, is pink instead of blue.)

Mr. Goodnews (AKA Thanatos) and Eros. We want to see Thanatos cosplay like woah; Eros, not so much.

The undead Venture clones, busy haunting Dr. Venture's mind. There are several pairs of the green, seaweed-y ones, making us think the Venture twins need to avoid water at all costs.

The Rusty's imaginary bevy of ladies include Lindsay Wagner (the Bionic Woman), Dr. Mrs. The Monarch (not Dr. Girlfriend? Homewrecker.) Sally Impossible, the pink-haired nurse, and Myrah Brandish (not exactly in her prime!)

Do you think the blue eyes of creepy Rusty/Id were on purpose? *Ass Grabbing*

We were both saddened and simultaneously thankful for the cutaway from the Billy/White make-out sesh. Also, between Molotov, Colonel Treister, and now Eros, black eyepatches are so out.

Check out the sweet clock on Ego's wall! It's Brock/Monarch themed. WANT.

Who do you prefer, Superego Rusty or Alternate Dimension Rusty?

Yep, this was all just lying around in the Monarch's bedroom. Again, I want to see Dr. M's costume in cosplay; 21, not so much.

The headcount of the clones is a little off. In this scene, you can count 32 boys. There should only be 28, since 14 pairs have died that we know about. If you watch the episode from start to finish, you can count about 37 boys, and, as @VentureBrosBlog pointed out, that's not even counting the lost Sevens in the microscopic sub!

Oh Monarch, we've missed you so. Also, you need to spend less time galavanting around Dr. V's brain and more time taking care of the homefront. 

How amazing was the kicker monologue? Such a great piece of writing on Doc Hammer's part, such a stellar reading on James Urbaniak's. Answers the age-old question of "who was a worse father?" for good.

Screen-shots from Bright Lights, Dean City

Oh Geez, we've missed you, Malcolm. Even if this was just faux-montage-you. Apparently, Hank Co. also exists in the faux montage world -- that is definitely a sticker on the side of the ATM!

Eek! How scary was this, even in the kill-y dreamworld sequence? We didn't catch until the second viewing that it says "...me 21" on the wall in blood. As in, "It was me, 21"? Hee. :) Also, we always knew those moppets were no good; this better not be a River Tam/sleeper codeword situation.

Dear Dean: Love your multiple "Encouragement" posters. Thrifty decorating indeed! But anywho, it was good to see you so happy without your dad around. There's hope for you yet!

OK, call us paranoid...but what is the giant 148 about? Why 148? What does it mean? (...it's so vivid; so intense.)

Sergeant Hatred's rations that Dean survives on all summer are called "Soldiers Joy." Roaches not included. Speaking of Hatred, if Rusty is back in NYC, where is his bodyguard? 

Again, completely missed that the X-1 was parked on top of Dean's apartment complex the first time we saw the episode. Ah, the glorious Venture-verse.

OH GEEZ look how cute little Rusty is! Look at those eyes; he's like Bambi in stereo. *melt*

"Rust!" A Broadway Musical by Thaddeus S. Venture (written in one night!) We would kill to get our hands on that musical. How much of it do you think Doc and Jackson have written already, if only in their heads (for now)? 

Keyboard courtesy of Hank Co. Side-note: Isn't "Rust!" a great name for Dr. Venture's musical? It speaks to the decay of a family name, to the neglect and disuse of potential, to the...OK, we'll stop.

NYC was rife with Bizzy Bee signs. Is it foreshadowing for a future episode? Fingers crossed!

Mmm. This still was just for us. I think our recent infatuation with Dr. Impossible is simply a result of withdrawal-like symptoms for a certain other skinny, accessory-fond villain...

Plus 150 VeryVentureGrls points* for the person who can name all of the villains vying for a spot with the Revenge Society! There's Brainulo and the prong-faced guy from Tag Sale, You're It -- but we want names for the rest of the gang.  (*150 points redeemable for a ringpop).

Hands up if you got actual chills during this scene. Us too. "Knife...super-powers..." tee hee.

"Lady Hawk Johnson" looks so much like her namesake, Lady Bird Johnson, it's spooky. See for yourself. Hope we see more of her and Linden Bee (Lyndon B. Johnson)!

Dean is such a good little intern! "I, Dean Venture, resign by duties as Unpaid Summer Intern/Executive Assistant/ Head of Human Resources..." What a go-getter! We are rooting for his Boy Reporter aspirations.

Hi, Sexy Dr. V. So glad our dimension's Rusty didn't kill you with a rock. Sidenote: how great was the real Dr. Venture's hat? Other sidenote: Aren't you glad to have disillusioned Dr. V back in action? Driven, happy Rusty was just off-putting.
