This show has been amazing lately.
And by amazing I mean "24 in a gimp costume making out with Dr. Girlfriend"
And by amazing I also mean "cowboy speeches"
And by amazing I also mean "Nathan Fillion as Arachnid-Guy"
And by amazing I mean actually pretty much everything about this amazing show.

Cowboy speeches.
I was amused by how everything in the latest episode was sort of untwisted into having mundane explanations at the last minute.

That episode was so fucking weird for exactly that reason, I spent the whole thing waiting for the terrible traumatic fuck-you twist, and then it... doesn't happen at all.
Monstroso: the man so unbelievably evil that he consistently treated Billy Quizboy with a modicum of respect and dignity, violating all known laws of the universe.

Except The Investors, they are legitimately magic. Though never did explain how the girls came out of the bed
On a related note, it wasn't until the next day that I realized the fire extinguisher thing was a metaphor

Ah, but everything the Investors did for their clients in this episode had mundane conclusions.

"Nathan Fillion as Arachnid-Guy"
It's like a combination of my two favorite totally real people! Nathan Fillion and Spider-Man! *swoon*
When 'Venture Bros.' first came out I thought it was basically going to be another 'Sealab 2021' or 'Aqua Teen Hunger Force' wherein I would watch exactly 4 episodes in the middle of the night after 48 plus hours w/ out sleep, find them impossibly hilarious, then watch them while sane and wonder intensely whether or not this was the same show I had so enjoyed before.
Instead it is homage/parody of everything I enjoy and is, yes, pretty amazing.

they literally ripped out an ape-man's still beating heart then phased through the floor.

Didn't say they weren't magical.
But gorilla-heart or not, it was still a heart-transplant, not vampire-magical-immortality craziness as initially suggested.

I'm a bit behind, but I watch Venture Bros. for the lulz, so I don't really agree.

See, I guess the thing that happened is that you could only end every episode with Brock going on a massive, bloody killing spree so many times before you stopped being able to have an actually good show with characters who weren't just a bunch of static, two-dimensional caricatures.
And it's still funny, it's just funny in a way with clever lines and properly constructed bits instead of the usual Adult Swim "this is mainly funny because I'm high and/or 12-years-old" funny.

Nuh. I'm pretty sure they're just focusing too much on story. Look at Orb... that was aces in all departments. What happened?

I think Meatloaf had a bed that dispensed hookers in the video for "I'd Do Anything For Love". I just assume they're sold in those catalogs for rich fucks with nothing else to spend their money on.

This hourlong season finale was amazing.
I just want to say that it takes a real man to launch yourself into SPACE to look for a cure for your penile cancer. A REAL man.

I'm pretty sure most men would launch themselves into the sun if they thought it might cure their penile cancer
Or for that matter, pretty much any cancer!
Cancer is pretty terrible!

On the other hand, most men aren't voiced by Toby Huss, best known for killing fitty men as Cotton Hill and playing Artie, The Strongest Man...
