Season 3, Episode 7: What Goes Down, Must Come Up
This is why I watch The Venture Bros. If you read through my reviews of season 3, you'll see that I haven't really disliked any of the episodes thus far, but still it seemed as if there was a certain je ne sais crois missing. I think this episode provided exactly what the season needed. As I said in the "Dr. Quymn" review, I appreciate that they're letting all of the characters grow and not letting them stay stagnant, but at the same time I feel like when they focused a lot of their efforts on this it detracted from the humor. This episode was absolutely hilarious through and through. Jefferson Twilight notably had some incredibly lines.
The episode was also one of the best of the show's many examples of deconstructing the mythos of cold-war era Johnny Quest type adventure shows. In this episode we're treated to a flashback of children on a field trip to see Jonas Venture's underground fallout shelter, only to have MUTHER, the scorned housewife of an A.I. release poison gas throughout the facility, leading to Jonas, The Action Man, Kano, and Colonel Gentlemen promptly rushing to action to save themselves and no one else. Just fantastic.
Episode rating: Like getting a free invisible mom
Favorite bits\random thoughts:
-Pretty much everything Jefferson Twilight said over the course of the episode was brilliant. "Aw man, now I got blue balls in my blood eye!" "They weren't taken by Blackulas, although I can't rule out Caucasian vampires." The entire running gag of Jefferson's lack of usefulness for the Order's particular situation was hilarious.
-There were some more music video references, with the guy in the Captain America-ish getup running through the sewer being coming straight out of this Prodigy video.
-Peter White sitting with a John 3:16 sign in one hand and a margarita in the other
as he's convinced that nuclear annihilation is imminent was kind of out of nowhere but made me laugh for some reason.
-MUTHER being referred to as "some Atari bitch," lol.
