History Awesome / TheVentureBros

** [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming Brock's 'sacrifices' speech]].

*** And people said he would never have another CrowningMomentOfAwesome.

-->'''Red Death''': Oh, you're up. Goody. We can start your history lesson. Long before there were loudmouth buff guys in spandex, there was the gentleman villain. His favourite sinister act was this: tying someone to a train track. It's simple, inexpensive, personal and deadly, ''but'' it gives you a little hope - maybe you'll escape. ''[Blind Rage's muffled screams interrupt]'' '''Lesson's ''NOT'' over, sonny!''' *sighs* Now, the gentleman villain had these old school time-bombs, three sticks of dynamite wired to an alarm clock. And what was so poetic about that is that they ''ticked''. You could ''hear'' them - tick tick tick. Nowadays they're just digital - no sound, no peril. ''[the sound of an approaching train is heard, getting closer]'' Oh, ohoho, do you hear that? ''There's'' the tick. The train is coming! Is it on this track? Tick tick tick. Maybe it's on the other track! ''Tick tick tick!'' *cackles maniacally* Not bad for an old man, huh? I'm gonna get going, let you try to escape. And if you do, tell the Peril Partnership that the Guild isn't scared of bugs. If you don't, eh, sorry.

* Brock's BadassBoast to a Kill Squad who infiltrated Ventech Tower.
-->'''Brock''':''(On P.A.)'' Testing, testing, hello ladies. Ladies and Gentlemen, thank you for accepting this suicide mission. Your target, a one Brock Sampson, has been really bored lately and will enjoy the shit out of this. Each one of you fine soldiers will be sacrificed for his amusement. Your unavoidable deaths will become the stuff of legends. Every new recruit will hear the story of the time a Guild Black-Out team got locked in the Ventech tower, behind 7 inch ball proof steel doors and were killed one by one in glorious service to this dumbass guild you joined. Good luck out there, and thank you for your service.

*** That last part may not seem as awesome, till you realize Hank purposely pulled off a Marty McFly and jumped off the balcony and landed in a flying mobile prototype J.J. had made, which in of itself is also awesome as it was shown to have problems with it's breaks.

* The Monarch ''finally'' telling off those creepy little Murderous Moppets in Season Four and scaring the dog squeeze out of them with his threats.
* Rusty got one where, [[spoiler:after working with his fellow ex-boy adventurers to track down their therapist's killer, realizes that for all the crap he went through due to his dad, he's been doing far better than them.]]
* Henchman 21 fights Brock Samson one-on-one...and ''lives.''
** Not only that, but 21 [[spoiler: seems to have gained Brock's respect, as he teamed up with 21 to fight Monstroso.]]

** How about some praise for the Doom Factory? Their methods were most certainly bizarre, but in the end, it was shown to be a combination of BavarianFireDrill and ConfusionFu, and ended with exactly what they had wanted: Them flying off with a huge amount of Doctor Venture's stuff, and having been met with no resistance whatsoever. NotSoHarmless has never looked stranger, and yet never so triumphant... at least, until the ending.

** Billy's Mom [[spoiler:turning out to be a total BadassGrandma and possible ex-spy.]]

'''Brock''': (eye twitching) '''''They hit me with a truck.'''''

** How about when he saves the Venture Family from a tomb's trap? From halfway around the world, over the phone, using Dean's passions for his daughter Triana as a homing signal?

** I don't know, man. Dean's "Fuck you!" to the Outrider was pretty awesome.

* Number 21 punches Brock Samson in the jaw. Brock's reaction is ''not'' immediately murdering him. 21 then proceeds to ''duel'' Brock and impresses the show's top BadAss enough to survive. He shows *no* fear for any of this, and after he comes to after losing the fight, Brock compliments him by saying, "[He] can deliver a pretty good beating."

* Billy Quizboy gets one in "The Invisible Hand of Fate", where [[spoiler:he freaks out at being used as an expendable spy, and uses his new mechanical hand to land a solid GroinAttack on '''[[ImplacableMan Brock Fucking]] [[{{Badass}} Samson]]''' that sends him ''keeling over'']].

*** He ''did'' have to blow some frozen blood out of his nose, but you have a point.

** It seems Season 6 up to this point has served to remind viewers that anyone put between the Monarch and his arching of Dr. Venture is pretty much dog food. Best example? Since he's been coddled by Mrs. The Monarch into arching a low-tier "scientist" named Dr. Heiney, Monarch leaves the Blue Morpho's duties, i.e. kidnapping and offing "The Wandering Spider", to 21/Kano, who pulls it off without a hitch (as does Monarch with Dr. Heiney), even getting the Spider in his last moments to leave a voicemail to the Guild stating the Blue Morpho is about to kill him. How is this all awesome? Monarch sends his "torture selfie" to his wife the same time the Spider's voicemail arrives, ''right after'' she, at the behest of the Guild, shot Dr. Venture, who'd [[MakesSenseInContext taken the Blue Morpho's jacket earlier to avoid the wait time on a new suit for a party]] and survives solely due to the [[ChekovsGun Morpho's flaking bullet-proof vest.]]

** For the first time all season, Monarch meets his match in the form of Red Death, a man who is impossibly likeable (even [[FriendlyEnemy Hunter Gathers]] respects him!), incredibly deadly (reportedly [[NoKillLikeOverkill vaporized]] an army of super soldiers!), and incredibly perceptive, to the point that he immediately sees through all of the Monarch's disguises and follows all his work. When The Monarch tries to blackmail Red Death into giving up his arching rights under the pretense of having kidnapped his wife and daughter, Red Death immediately goes [[Film/Taken Brian Mills]] on him and breaks into his secret headquarters effortlessly, terrifying 21 and the Monarch so much that they immediately surrender and give up the location of his family. And after ''all of that'' he agrees to help the Monarch and keep his secret plan.
