Venture Brothers: “Groovy” and the Gang

Quite possibly my favorite Adult Swim cartoon of all time. The minds behind the Venture Brothers are insanely talented; Doc ( Ed) Hammer is about the closest thing we have to a Renaissance genius in these modern times. He’s a self taught painter, actor, musician, and writer. His partner in crime, ‘Jackson Publick‘, was a comedic protege nursed in the loving arms of Ben Edlund, the creator of the Tick. It was during his time working with Edlund that he met Patrick Warbuton who would eventually provide the voice of the mother-bear of the series, Brock Samson.

Do not be surprised if I post up a great deal of their shit, since many of you are painfully unaware of the brilliance on display here.

Harvey Birdman, Attorney At Law

I could spend all day describing what’s awesome about this short series: could it be the incredible voice-work of Steven Colbert, Gary Cole, Peter McNichol, John Michael Higgins, and other illustrious alumni? What about the fact that the series pokes fun at all the cheap Hannah-Barbera cartoons you used to watch? Is it perhaps the amazing intro song that sets the tone? Regardless, if you haven’t watched this entire series on repeat, I don’t want to know you.
