Pynchon on Simpsons

[Dave Monroe]

The Venture Bros.

Hank and Dean Venture, with their father Doctor
Venture and faithful bodyguard Brock Samson, go on
wild adventures facing megalomaniacs, zombies, and
suspicious ninjas, all for the glory of adventure. Or
something like that.

Hank and Dean Venture are relatively identical twins,
only born six minutes apart, who live for the thrill
of adventure. Their dated vocabulary and high-pitched
voices are intentionally annoying, especially to their
father, Doctor Venture, a boy genius turned mediocre
scientist who hates everything about his life.

In the midst of this conflict is Brock Samson, a man
of swift neck-breaking action. Preferring to resort to
his brawn instead of his brain, Brock is simple but
effective, and does a better job at taking care of the
kids than Doctor Venture, as long as they leave his
treasured Dodge Charger alone.

[Race Bannon, the 'Brock Sampson' of Jonny Quest, is
dying] 
Race Bannon: Do me a favor, Brock. 
Brock Samson: Anything, old friend. 
Race Bannon: Tell... Jonny... I love... 
[Race dies, and all bow their heads. A pause, and a
loud farting sound plays] 
Dean Venture: Ewww! I didn't know they... Ew! 
Brock Samson: Yeah, they never show that part on TV.
