Whoa, Venture Bros. owns even more than usual [SPOILERS]
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
