THE VENTURE BROS.
On the surface, The Venture Bros. may look like a simple parody of adventure cartoons like Jonny Quest, but it’s really so much more. It’s got laughs, to be sure, but it’s also got great action set pieces, brilliantly conceived characters like that living incarnation of testosterone Brock Sampson, and the ability to somehow make you feel emotionally invested in the relationship between a man dressed in a butterfly outfit and his gravel-voiced girlfriend. —KS

Fan Ari Amaru showed us this neat little Venture Bros. Easter egg in a recent episode of South Park.
In episode T.M.I., the South Park boys confuse the school’s growth chart with penis sizes. Cartman is furious throws an absolute fit. Seen on the chart is “Brock Sampson” with an above average rating.
