History Recap / TheVentureBrosS1E4TheIncredibleMrBrisby

The Venture family lands in Africa aboard the X-1 on their way to "Brisbyland." The boys are confined to the jet while Rusty and Brock meet Roy Brisby's mute bodyguard Mandalay. Mandalay takes them to Roy's office, where Brock is forced to wait outside. Inside, Rusty meets the paralyzed (due to a stroke suffered during an accident at his theme park) Brisby. Brisby offers Rusty some Panda milk from his pet "Companda," (Companion Panda) which he won from Music/DavidBowie in 1981.

Brisby reveals that he has summoned Venture wanting cloning technology, which Rusty's father Jonas was "dabbling" in before his death. Brisby wants any notes on the subject that Rusty has, but Rusty claims to have no such notes. Brisby refuses to believe Rusty, and reveals that his intel on Rusty shows that Rusty isn't actually a "doctor" and that Venture Industries has fallen on hard times. Irritated, Rusty calls the deal off.

Brock tries to start a conversation with Mandalay, who remains mute. Mandalay eventually offers Brock a cigarette, which Brock accepts. At that moment, Companda puts the belligerent Rusty into a sack. Brock hears the commotion and breaks down the door, but passes out due to a drug in the laced cigarette.

Rusty wakes up inside the Brisby Dome, a giant bee hive-like construction. Meanwhile, the boys wake up in the makeshift base of the "Orange County Liberation Front" (OCLF) soldiers, which is actually a community college gymnasium. The soldiers question the boys on what their father knows about Roy Brisby and explain that Brisbyland's expansion has destroyed their county, and plans to continue expanding into other parts of the world. OCLF soldiers place prototype mind control bee hats (stolen from Brisbyland) onto the boys and convince them to join the attack on the Brisbydome.

Brock wakes up in the care of his old friend, Molotov Cocktease, as she tends his wounds. The two immediately fight, but are evenly matched. As they fight, it is revealed that Brock killed Mol's father and took her left eye, while Mol is responsible for the death of Brock's old O.S.I partner. The two are, however, madly in love. They break off the fighting to make out, but it is revealed that Mol is wearing a chastity belt for some old Cold War reason. Brock masturbates in the bathroom while Mol informs him of the boys' location.

The interrogation of Venture is interrupted by the the OCLF attack. Brock and Mol also arrive, but split up as soon as they get there. Brock battles his was to Rusty, but is stopped by Mandalay. Brock demonstrates his proficiency with his weapon, while Mandalay finally speaks to quit his job and leave the dome rather than fight Brock. Brock then finds the mind controlled Hank and Dean, then bangs their heads together to knock them out.

Brisby flees to his office and orders the preparation of his jet in order to escape. Molotov enters the room and demands that Brisby turn over a specific thing. Distracted by the conversation, Brisby backs into his office fireplace and catches fire.

*** Brisby advises Brick to quit smoking, saying "Those things will kill you". The real Walt Disney died of lung cancer due to a lifelong smoking habit.

* WouldntHitAGirl: Averted by Brock with Molotov. He'll beat the crap out of her (and she'll dish it out right back,) but he won't ''kill'' her.

* ScaryBlackMan: Mandalay

* ADateWithRosiePalms: Brock, tormented by the fact Molotov will not allow him to break her chastity belt, is driven insane by her sensually smoking a cigarette before he starts screaming in sexually frustrated agony, stands up with a ''massive'' erection hidden under his towel, and calmly says "I gotta go take care of something" before heading into the bathroom.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: Molotov retrieves the panda from Brisby for Music/DavidBowie. At first this seems like a throwaway gag, but guess who appears in the season two finale?
** Also, all the business about Venture cloning tech.

** The episode title comes from the film ''TheIncredibleMrLimpet.''

* MrAltDisney / NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Mr. Brisby is a darker WaltDisney, except Brisby is looking to stave off death via cloning compared to Disney using cryogenics (or so the UrbanLegend goes...)

** While under the effects of the truth serum, Rusty quotes lines from ''Film/RearWindow'' and ''AStreetcarNamedDesire.''

The post-credits {{Stinger}} shows Molotov driving away in her car with the Companda in tow. She is on the phone with her client, revealed to be DavidBowie.

In the Brisbydome, Brisby gives Rusty a tour. Brisby explains that the dome is a template for a new society, for which Venture can be part for only a single clone. Rusty refuses, calling Brisby crazy. Rusty is injected with a truth serum, but has a side effect of putting him into his own little world.
