The Venture Bros. “The Incredible Mr. Brisby”

–I freaking love the bit with Brock and the nailgun.  Especially the third and fourth times, when he doesn’t even turn to look and just reacts to Doc’s screaming.  And David Bowie got his panda back – again, he’s going to be referenced quite often before he makes his surprise appearance.

For me, the stuff with Brock and Molotov really makes this episode.  We never hear from the OCLF again, but I really like the idea that armed rebellion is more of a side job for them.  Roy Brisby doesn’t appear again until “Pomp and Circuitry” in Season Four, and that’s really only a cameo.  While I like the character just fine, I do think the show is better off not having a parody of Walt Disney as a major character – the things they’ve done since are much more interesting, and I think that’s kind of a limited premise.  Still, he’s funny in this episode, and that’s what counts.
