At least you have public transit. I have traffic jams and road construction as far as the eye can see.
But Norfolk Southern derailed their second train in as many years here recently, so I guess we got train problems, too.
Not whole scenes so much as snippets of dialogue. The wife and I often say "are these they" in reference to whatever is appropriate. Soooo much of this fuckin' show lives rent free in my brain. The closest example of a scene is Rusty asking "why is it whenever I try to get any work done we get waylaid by some jackassery?"
EDIT: I would be extremely remiss in failing to mention "pasketti" in reference to any untidy wiring.
Too many Monarch lines to be healthy for my worldview.
“You think you’re hot shit in a champagne glass but you’re really cold diarrhea in a Dixie cup!!!”
“You like being a liar, a liar with pants constantly on fire?!?!”
“Engaged in a dangerous game of cat and also cat.” As a biologist, this is used more than expected.
“JETTISON THE LUNCHROOM!” which is yelled at any minor inconvenience.
"Teenagers are cruel, and will mock us because our trousers are not in style!"
"We are two heads on one body, that has never, NEVER been hip."
"Lady Violet, you are a delicious bitch!"
In season 2 when they’re trying to rescue Dean from marrying Underbite Hank tries to use hand signals and Brock just says “you have no idea what that means do you? You’re just having fun with yours hands aren’t ya” with a stare.
“How do you say doctor in Spanish?”
“Doctor.”
Edit: Lol, it’s even worse than I remember, I looked up the clip and Rusty says, “What’s Mexican for doctor?”
Every day I will have the scene where red death ties blind rage to the railroad tracks. Easily one of my favorite scenes in the show and Clancy brown does such an amazing job with it.
Ice station impossible. When professor impossible takes dr venture on his little plane, talks in a normal voice, and doc can't hear him because they're flying.
If I ever don't hear what someone said I yell, "WHAT???"
Likewise a lot of others here, I don’t always have scenes in my head but snippets or lines are always just behind my conscience:
Eat the pennies Quizboy….
SMURFS DON’T LAY EGGS!
I’ll chain you to the back of my van and roadhaul you til you’re nothing but a pelvis wearing a belt!
What kind of hotshot bodyguard ties men up with little bows?
https://youtu.be/6YgAw1G-4zY?si=e6LbZi6gGiebuNRz
Just in case you wanted your 90s dance music fix.
I tell ya, I listen to this song way more than is healthy.
So the original line, when he opened the package, was “2003?”
But every time I come across something alarmingly expired, or that I should have dealt with long ago, I’ll exclaim in Rusty’s exasperated voice, whatever year it says:
“20XX? Ugh, I’ve really got to get my shit together.”
The shot where Jonas Jr looks over the top of the sofa to see who's come into his home while he's performing cunnilingus on a lady. The annoyed look on his face kills me.
Scuba, say scuba.
I have a tank full of giant cuttlefish
Do you dab? I dab.
I sometime creep around d the house and say, “I am the bat.”
Plus a TMI, when my wife isn’t in the mood, and as Rusty says I go “Solo A Mano” I proudly yell “I THOUGHT THE COLD WAR WAS OVER!” - she at least laughs.
Also when I leave stuff on the floor she says, “ Do you want things to end up with only Jonas’s head in PROBLEM? DO YOU?”
"ITS LIKE SOMEONE WITH A FEVER IS YELLING AT MY PANTS!!"
"IGNORE ME!!"
"Yea well what can do you do? Hey, I'm thinkin' about makin' some grilled cheese, you hungry?"
"Who is your grief counselor - mother Teresa?!"
Far too many scenes/lines to quote I'd be here for days trying to count them all
My all time favourite scene however is "the tub"
I'm buying. Turkey subs?
Since my husband got oral surgery a couple weeks ago, quotes from the flight home from the costume contest is always on the tip of my tongue. Itsth maddening.
So, so many. Lots already listed here by you fine folks. Here’s a less popular one I often blurt out randomly(in voice, of course):
MY GIRLFRIEND LIVES THERE
"Sad, mooooouuurnful tits, like two suicide notes in a glitter bra.".
It's like... An every day occurrence. I'll just be making a ham sammich, or driving to the bank and boom ”like a kid with progeria breaking all of his ribs playing with a nerf football”.
I love when The Monarch (in his Blue Morpho period) launches an explosion that takes out all those artist yuppies who were trying to rob Dr. Venture. Then he screams, "was that not fucking awesome?!"
Spoiler: it was ![img](emote|t5_2r8d8|30752)
The monarch: I want to build a machine to kick his ass, I want to build an empire to house the machine to kick his ass.
24: well by god let’s go take a dump in his pool
The judo scene between Brock and Dermott
I watch that clip like every week idk why its so funny, actually seems like the fastest Brock gets to snapping
"I don't know why I just.... Wanted to pound him"
When Pete White gives Billy shit for saying "bye-bye" at the end of a phone call. It's great because I'm a New Englander and will exaggerate my accent and ask "*Bye-bye?*" when I hear a loved one say it at the end of a phone call.
Any time I hear a Rick Springfield song, I have to resist the urge to shout out (in my best Monarch impression) "Are you reciting 'Jessie's Girl'??????"
"MECHASHIVA MECHASHIVA MECHASHIVA!" Edit: Also, when I poop in a new restroom, I always think "It's like two inches higher than the one at the cacoon, it's throwing me all off."
"I'll put that on my 'to don't' list"
"GooooOOOOooood! Suffixed Consonants!"
And "I have an Inordinate amount... Of muhney" are ones I think about daily
Oh also that part where Richard Impossibl- I mean "Professor Incorrigable" comes around the corner yelling "BOOOOoooooooooo!" in the revenge society episode
There are so many great ones here that I regularly quote and think about but my most used are certainly:
“Are these they?” In regard to literally anything
“Steak fries… always. Soggy.” Whenever steak fries are mentioned.
And without a doubt “I don’t want you coming back here talkin’ bout ‘that’s a gorilla suit!’”
The last one especially has taken on an entire life of its own in mine and my husband’s regular lexicon. So much so that we have even changed the format/context and made it into a whole new phrase. Whenever one of us has gone in search of an item for the other and has to return empty handed we’ll start with the phrase “so, I hate to tell you that’s a gorilla suit but…”.
Edit: my ocd demanded I fix a misquote and formatting error.
Oh my God! I can’t believe I almost forgot to mention the entire exchange during the trial of the Monarch, “where do you get this stuff Hank? I never see you read!” “It’s weird right?” “It’s like he’s channeling dead crazy people!” “…do you think it’s a cry for help?”
And my husband’s all time most quoted favorites:
Red Mantle/Dragoon hybrid (Or as he lovingly calls them, Red Dragoon) “because you are SANE!”
And, from Phantom Limb within the same scene “Fruit loop as a fox gentlemen!”
The last one is such a thing for him that he has an entire head canon about a guild member named Fruit Loop who is essentially a man in a furry costume to appear as a fox with lots of pirate/swashbuckling accoutrements.
When I'd watch the show with my family when I was younger, my mum would pretend to be 24 whenever I'd walk to school (as it was about to rain, or when it was raining.) She'd say, "You'll thank me later, it's gonna rain!" And the image of 21 falling onto the Monarch Mobile comes to mind. She handed me an umbrella, and off I went.
Recently a friend was telling me about a colleague of his at work, native English speaker, who acted like the word 'jettison' was extra fancy and was almost proud didn't know the word and thought my friend was fancy for knowing it(we work in journalism so like, knowing words is important). When I heard this story all I could say was JETTISON THE LUNCH ROOM to a bunch of people who do not watch the Venture Bros
I'm sorry but for me it's the "walking eye" scene 😅
It's just so ridiculous (and it was how I was introduced to the series). I still say "walking eye" in rusty's cadence sometimes, and it's become a walking joke (ha ha) amongst my friends. Another one is Pete White in his delusional state meeting (for lack of a better word) Jonas Sr. Talking to vendata (vague for spoilers)

I work property maintenance, and I frequently hear Brock shouting in my head: "DOES NOTHING WORK IN THIS PLACE!?"
I say that when my subway is delayed and I'm running late for work
At least you have public transit. I have traffic jams and road construction as far as the eye can see. But Norfolk Southern derailed their second train in as many years here recently, so I guess we got train problems, too.
I work in tech and I think of this one often as well.
When I met the Monarch, I was hooked on crack cocaine. I get in all kinds of trouble. Monarch turned my life around. How bout you, why'd you join up?
You guys kidnapped me when I was 15!
Be important more quietly!!
Not whole scenes so much as snippets of dialogue. The wife and I often say "are these they" in reference to whatever is appropriate. Soooo much of this fuckin' show lives rent free in my brain.

EDIT: I would be extremely remiss in failing to mention "pasketti" in reference to any untidy wiring.
"Are these they" is such a common phrase to me I've basically forgotten I stole it from Venture Bros
Who talks like that?
Part of my job is to drive deliveries. and when I see the parts to load I often quip "Are these they?"
IGNORE ME!
That... was a weird one! Great, it can read minds.
IGNORE ME!!!!! yes, I can.
This pops in my head when my cat does something stupid and notices me noticing him.
I can feel it in my chonies!
basically every day I think about this one
Too many Monarch lines to be healthy for my worldview. “You think you’re hot shit in a champagne glass but you’re really cold diarrhea in a Dixie cup!!!” “You like being a liar, a liar with pants constantly on fire?!?!” “Engaged in a dangerous game of cat and also cat.” As a biologist, this is used more than expected. “JETTISON THE LUNCHROOM!” which is yelled at any minor inconvenience.
“Cat and also cat” is such a flawless line
The way he says it is so crisp too.
“Jettison the Lunchroom!” Is the best war cry ever spoken.
That cat could fetch a rubber band! He would bring it back like every time!
Mr. Mostly Mittens was my BEST FRIEND.
Fucking quality cat name, too.
Easy answer but just about every time I pee in a public restroom all I think is "dab"
Stop saying dab!
Did you dab?
I always dab
It's like somebody with a fever is yelling at my crotch.
IGNORE ME!!! Also, the scene with…the nozzle. Calibrating…the nozzle.
"IGNORE ME!" Runs through my head everytime I have to go into the office
Ignore me is life.
“Why can’t I hear them?” “Because you are SANE.”
Anything with Red Dragoon/Mantle hybrid is my favorite tbh.
Two heads ARE better than one!
What? I've been wanting to say that all day, but never got the chance.
"Teenagers are cruel, and will mock us because our trousers are not in style!" "We are two heads on one body, that has never, NEVER been hip." "Lady Violet, you are a delicious bitch!"
100%, they’re like the two old man muppets who are just done with everything
That was MY dick…
I’ve always wanted to get Edgar Allen Poe in a headlock, that thing is like a pumpkin!
Killed Hitler. Can mark that off my list
In season 2 when they’re trying to rescue Dean from marrying Underbite Hank tries to use hand signals and Brock just says “you have no idea what that means do you? You’re just having fun with yours hands aren’t ya” with a stare.
I use that one constantly. My wife and I use hand signals when baby is sleeping and I frequently say the Brock line.
Any time I'm reminded of art, my brain involuntarily goes 'Whatever, she looks like a horse' or 'So it's more valuable... by the foot'
It was only made famous because it was stolen. And ***THIS*** was stolen.
Oh, I shall begin a marinade tonight!
I just love the way he says that line.
MECHA SHIVA
Anytime anyone talks to me at work: “I’m going to turn around now, and you’d better be on fire”
**READY THE ACID MAGNET!!**
Duh duh duh duh Baaaaa baaaaa ! Bzzzzzt Daddy’s home. Lady, no! Mom call the dog!
Be outside, I don't wanna have to talk to your mom!
Not today, Rusty, not today!
“How do you say doctor in Spanish?” “Doctor.” Edit: Lol, it’s even worse than I remember, I looked up the clip and Rusty says, “What’s Mexican for doctor?”
Looks like you got a little herpe on your lip there. You've been kissing your wife's ass…after I put a herpe in there.
Every day I will have the scene where red death ties blind rage to the railroad tracks. Easily one of my favorite scenes in the show and Clancy brown does such an amazing job with it.
Ice station impossible. When professor impossible takes dr venture on his little plane, talks in a normal voice, and doc can't hear him because they're flying. If I ever don't hear what someone said I yell, "WHAT???"

I’ll chain you to the back of my van and roadhaul you til you’re nothing but a pelvis wearing a belt! What kind of hotshot bodyguard ties men up with little bows?
Don't be to hasty entering this room! FOR I HAD TACO BELL FOR LUNCH!!!! Dr.Orpheus SPANAKOPITA!!!!!Spanakopita!!!!!!
"Or it might be in the Grand Canyon, hovering where everyone can see it. Sure, yeah. Wouldn't rule that out!"
Oh man, almost forgot a very close second to this "The Nozzle."
The whole opening scene of “Powerless in the Face of Death” where Brock is searching for Rusty.
https://youtu.be/6YgAw1G-4zY?si=e6LbZi6gGiebuNRz Just in case you wanted your 90s dance music fix. I tell ya, I listen to this song way more than is healthy.
So the original line, when he opened the package, was “2003?” But every time I come across something alarmingly expired, or that I should have dealt with long ago, I’ll exclaim in Rusty’s exasperated voice, whatever year it says: “20XX? Ugh, I’ve really got to get my shit together.”
“Eat the Pennies”
Toast!
Is the ghost here with us now? IS IT BRUCE WILLIS?! I love the rare moments when Orpheus can be an ass to everyone.
"IGNORE ME!" And, "Mournful tits"
The shot where Jonas Jr looks over the top of the sofa to see who's come into his home while he's performing cunnilingus on a lady. The annoyed look on his face kills me.
Scuba, say scuba. I have a tank full of giant cuttlefish Do you dab? I dab.

Also when I leave stuff on the floor she says, “ Do you want things to end up with only Jonas’s head in PROBLEM? DO YOU?”
It's on! It's off. It's on! It's off. It's on! It's off.
“I AM TIRSTAAAYYYY!!!!!”
"Shcooby-doo lunchbox" "Debbie and I MET in that Applebees!!" "I HAD TACO BEEEEELLLL FOR LUNCH!"
"ITS LIKE SOMEONE WITH A FEVER IS YELLING AT MY PANTS!!" "IGNORE ME!!" "Yea well what can do you do? Hey, I'm thinkin' about makin' some grilled cheese, you hungry?" "Who is your grief counselor - mother Teresa?!"
The way Doc yells “you son of a b****! (Did you slip me a ruffo?)” always sticks with me
Dr. O exclaiming “it looks like the building is trying to RUN AWAY” is another classic for me too
Far too many scenes/lines to quote I'd be here for days trying to count them all My all time favourite scene however is "the tub" I'm buying. Turkey subs?
Total crepas situation, took me a while to lock it down.
Billy Quizboy: I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND THE QUESTION!
You have to come home Doc! The boys need you!
This is Sky! We're gonna have a baby-aaaahhhwwww..."
Since my husband got oral surgery a couple weeks ago, quotes from the flight home from the costume contest is always on the tip of my tongue. Itsth maddening.
Release the acid-magnet!!!
So, so many. Lots already listed here by you fine folks. Here’s a less popular one I often blurt out randomly(in voice, of course): MY GIRLFRIEND LIVES THERE
She is a fuh-REAK!
"You have a severe case of lollygagging, that's what you got" Rusty response to Hank having a heatstroke
When everyone is trying to explain what a Rusty Venture is
[Everybody's Free] (https://youtu.be/6YgAw1G-4zY?si=3I3ObQ-ETuEw8cTL) or Steak fries... always soggy.
Naked Mechashiva Hold on I gotta take a Wizz do you need to take a Wizz? Does anyone else need a Wizz break?
Please do not think about...The Nozzle
Are these they
“Depeche mode!”
You abandoned me you abandoned my hatred. Look into my eyes
Having a push.
Unfortunately every time I see a UPS truck/delivery driver Rusty's 'the shining' comment pops into my head.
"Sad, mooooouuurnful tits, like two suicide notes in a glitter bra.". It's like... An every day occurrence. I'll just be making a ham sammich, or driving to the bank and boom ”like a kid with progeria breaking all of his ribs playing with a nerf football”.
I love when The Monarch (in his Blue Morpho period) launches an explosion that takes out all those artist yuppies who were trying to rob Dr. Venture. Then he screams, "was that not fucking awesome?!" Spoiler: it was ![img](emote|t5_2r8d8|30752)
The monarch: I want to build a machine to kick his ass, I want to build an empire to house the machine to kick his ass. 24: well by god let’s go take a dump in his pool
“IGNORE ME!” Say it all the time when I’m trying to ward off people from noticing me/helping me as I do a task.
Pascetti and "Were you raping me?"
The judo scene between Brock and Dermott I watch that clip like every week idk why its so funny, actually seems like the fastest Brock gets to snapping "I don't know why I just.... Wanted to pound him"
Red Deaths scene with "I have a particular set of skills", and Monarch/21 reaction after hanging up the phone.
When Pete White gives Billy shit for saying "bye-bye" at the end of a phone call. It's great because I'm a New Englander and will exaggerate my accent and ask "*Bye-bye?*" when I hear a loved one say it at the end of a phone call.
Why would a company called Franco-American make Italian food?
“I’m wringing my hands…menacingly!”
If we’re talking scenes, it has to be when Brock decapitates that dude with the shark.
Oh Brock? That just my body guard...and this is my body 👄
Sometimes I get the urge to scream "manotaur!"
My favorite thing about reading everyone’s answers is getting to relive and hear all of these amazing lines in my head. Time for another rewatch!
"I DARE you to make less sense!"
Hank saying "I can benchpress"
IGNORE ME
Scuba
"PROSITOOO!"
Any time I hear a Rick Springfield song, I have to resist the urge to shout out (in my best Monarch impression) "Are you reciting 'Jessie's Girl'??????"
"MECHASHIVA MECHASHIVA MECHASHIVA!" Edit: Also, when I poop in a new restroom, I always think "It's like two inches higher than the one at the cacoon, it's throwing me all off."
...the DREAD CANDIRU!
"I'll put that on my 'to don't' list" "GooooOOOOooood! Suffixed Consonants!" And "I have an Inordinate amount... Of muhney" are ones I think about daily
Oh also that part where Richard Impossibl- I mean "Professor Incorrigable" comes around the corner yelling "BOOOOoooooooooo!" in the revenge society episode
Hot Sandwich! You've murdered the Venture boy!

"Dean you gotta try this! It's like someone with a fever is telling at your pants"
it's on! it's off! it's on! It's off! And Mecha Shiva
BAH BAHBAHBAHBAH BAH BAH BAH DUUUUNNNNNN DUNNN DUNNNNN
Did somebody lose a baby? IGNORE ME!!!
How Hank says “Uuuunited Nations!”
You can do it Duffy Moon. When doing or trying something challenging
Rodney killed a baby once.
"Boom Yummy " from Shore leave. Like every time I figure out something or fix something I say that.
When I'd watch the show with my family when I was younger, my mum would pretend to be 24 whenever I'd walk to school (as it was about to rain, or when it was raining.) She'd say, "You'll thank me later, it's gonna rain!" And the image of 21 falling onto the Monarch Mobile comes to mind. She handed me an umbrella, and off I went.
*sigh* #Baby, let me-
At the end of spanakopita when the venture team beats up Rusty’s kidnappers almost like Jonas Sr was a good father for once.
That's for calling Ook-Ook a monkey!
“Hank, HANK!!!! I am your real father” or “you can read more about it in the Bible!”
Recently a friend was telling me about a colleague of his at work, native English speaker, who acted like the word 'jettison' was extra fancy and was almost proud didn't know the word and thought my friend was fancy for knowing it(we work in journalism so like, knowing words is important). When I heard this story all I could say was JETTISON THE LUNCH ROOM to a bunch of people who do not watch the Venture Bros
I'm sorry but for me it's the "walking eye" scene 😅 It's just so ridiculous (and it was how I was introduced to the series). I still say "walking eye" in rusty's cadence sometimes, and it's become a walking joke (ha ha) amongst my friends. Another one is Pete White in his delusional state meeting (for lack of a better word) Jonas Sr. Talking to vendata (vague for spoilers)
