The Venture Bros. continues its relentless march towards absurd brilliance with this second volume of its fourth season, which unfolds in a dizzying blend of conspiracy theories, convoluted psycho-dramas, maturity rituals, and at least one musical number. The brothers themselves--hapless Dean and thoughtless Hank--continue to grow up (whether they like it or not), with Dean taking on an internship with Professor Impossible (voiced by Bill Hader) that proves to be more than just a résumé builder, and Hank joining the ranks of manhood in a particularly unpleasant manner while investigating his surly pal Dermott's parentage. Both episodes ("Bright Lights, Dean City" and "Everybody Comes to Hank's") are note-perfect examples of what makes the Venture Bros. such a pleasure: clever (but never self-satisfied) writing with a keen understanding of the show's comic book-pop culture roots and just the right blend of crassness and wit. The season's other highlight is its hour-long conclusion, "Operation P.R.O.M.," which brings the season's entire, labyrinthine story arcs to a finale that is fitting, a bit touching, and completely unhinged. Elsewhere, viewers learn along with Doc Venture (James Urbaniak) about the hideous slang term attached to his name, while Brock Samson (Patrick Warburton), Sergeant Hatred (Christopher McCulloch, a.k.a. series cocreator Jackson Publick), and Henchman 21 (cocreator Doc Hammer) resolve some long-standing emotional conflicts. It's a rare thing for a series to continue to grow and even blossom in its fourth season, but The Venture Bros. does both, in its own very odd but charming ways.
Extras on the two-disc Vol. 2 set are, like its predecessor, slim but entertaining: Publick and Hammer provide amusing commentaries for each of the eight episodes in the set, and there's a smattering of inconsequential deleted scenes. Actor Toby Huss, who voices the deeply deluded General Triester, is featured in a segment that has him providing a number of different readings on a line of dialogue, and the set includes several promotional spots for the show during its original broadcast. Viewers should know that the episodes in Vol. 2 are presented uncut, which means that the ridiculously grotesque definitions for a "Rusty Venture" are unbleeped; it's an unfortunate choice, as the adult language tends to cheapen the show's humor. --Paul Gaita

5.0 out of 5 stars
This show is great, and it's even better on blue-ray!,
This review is from: Venture Bros. Season 4, Vol. 2 [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
I can't say much more than what is in the title. If you have seen this show, you know what it is aboot, and if you haven't you should start off at season one and work from there. The Blue-Ray is great because of the higher definition, and it does make a big difference in quality over my seasons 1-3 DVDs. Being uncencored adds a little zip over the aired on tv versions. Great buy.

In love with the Venture Bros.,
This review is from: Venture Bros. Season 4, Vol. 2 [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
If it were legal I would totally marry the Venture Bros. I laugh so much that milk squirts out of my nose. Strange because I don't even drink milk. This blu-ray was probably the best single purchase I have ever made in my life. I would even say it is more satisfying than my Real Doll. I mean that exactly how it sounds. The creators of this show are super - geniuses. They must have been bitten by a radioactive superman or something. Ever since purchasing season 4 of the Venture Bros, all I do is watch and rewatch the show. I don't go out anymore, I've gotten quite pale and thin. I don't think I even have a job anymore, but the sacrifice is all worth it. Go Team Venture!
