Henchman 21: I'm sick of this! I'm slightly drunk, I'm talking to the ghost of my fucking dead friend, I'm probably in love with you, so... yeah, whatever! I'm over it!
The Monarch: You're "over it"?
Dr. Mrs. The Monarch: You're in love with me?
The Monarch: Whoa, wait, what?
Henchman 21: Yeah, we made out!
Dr. Mrs. The Monarch: Well, that's a stretch. We got drunk, and maybe we kissed...
The Monarch: Sure... where was I then?
Henchman 21: Where were you? You were there! We were on top of you! WE MADE OUT, ON YOU!
The Monarch: So you had a drunken threesome! Join the fucking club! We're villains, you crybaby! We SWING! I watched my wife suck Manta Claus dry and then make him breakfast!
Henchman 21: Is that true?
Dr. Mrs. The Monarch: Eggs and buttered toast.
Henchman 21: Wha... you guys are nuts! Yeah, great! Fuck you! Fuck this completely crappy fucking excuse for a fucking prom!

All change in this season. Brock Sampson (Patrick Warburton) joins S. P. H. I. N. X, another agency based (secretly) out of a warehouse in the Venture compound. Sargent Hatred (Chris McCulloch). Hank (Chris McCulloch) and Dean (Michael Sinterniklaas) are approaching the end of their home-schooling years and go for work experience roles, with a memorable prom planned for the end of the year. 21 (Doc Hammer) has toughened up and is now an elite soldier in The Monarch's (Chris McCulloch) army, but continues to look for 24's (Chris McCulloch) killer and talks to his skull.
We're deep into the lore episodes now, and learning that unlike other animated shows, "The Venture Brothers" is willing to make permanent changes to the characters and their situations. Brock's movement from being the Venture's bodyguard is made permanent, with Sgt. Hatred taking his place. 21 undergoes his character change, and though they manage to extend the chats between him and 24, one of my favourite aspects of the series so far, even that eventually comes to an end.
There's a bit more playing with the form this season two, with two episodes "Everybody comes to Hanks" and "Bright Lights, Dean City" taking place concurrently. The first of those two, an amazing noir parody is one of my all-time favourite episodes, with all of Hank's dialogue being solid gold. It also reveals to us the truth behind one of the shows earliest mysteries, the parentage of Dermott. The episode "The Revenge Society" is another that provides some deep lore, whilst again coating it in hilarious dialogue from Red Mantle and Dragoon, who are grafted into one body.
From here on out, things are going to get a bit patchier for me, as I've seen some more of what comes, but perhaps only once, whereas I had the DVD's for the shows so far, and had watched them multiple times. Really looking forward to it.
