I was a sad little Venture Bros. fan at the peak of convention season this year, as I was unable to attend last month's Comic-Con. My pain was somewhat soothed by the presence of the Internet though, for I knew Flickr and YouTube would surely erupt with fan-documented material, with which I could experience the con vicariously. As it turned out... not so much. Despite scouring the blogosphere, I didn't find much in the following days, apart from a few photos of my friends in Dr. Girlfriend get-ups posing with Jackson Publick and a brief report of one dirty joke from the panel. Well, probably because they could sense my silent fan-sobbing from across the country, the lovely folks from Adult Swim online have directed us to this video from the panel with Jackson Publick and Mike Sinterniklaas. It's edited down from a longer event, but there are still plenty of good moments.
As usual, we don't really get any spoilers. Those guys are tight-lipped. And It's a shame, but the dirty remark I heard about wasn't included in the footage. I'm paraphrasing here, but apparently the exchange went something like this:
Fan: Will we ever see a fight between Dr. Girlfriend and Molotov Cocktease?
JP: You masturbate enough.
Well played, Mr. Publick. Well played.
Those of you still looking for some VB convention goodness should look into Georgia's upcoming Dragon*Con. Doc Hammer will be there. I will not. Commence more fan-sobbing now.
Does the new 90210 suck?

Thanks now I have to get a change of clothes after that that sick f*** of a fan painted that picture. I mean like... now I ask myself whether Triana could make it a menage à troi. That's just sick... ;-)
I was so disappointed that the panel wasn't covered here on TV Squad or on Twitter but on the other hand Annie you'd have to admit if Keith would've been there transcribing let's say every other joke they made and didn't deliver it the way the guys on stage would, you would've gone insane not being able to be there yourself ^^;
I really wonder why they don't just install cameras and charge for pay per view. This event has become just as big as any other sport event. There must be enough nerds on earth willing to pay for this thing since it's jam-packed anyway every year.

Oh and f*** adult swim. This isn't available over here. How hard is it to make this available worldwide?

why would a US network, catering to a US market want their videos to be viewable to any market outside of their own?
I will never understand people who whine about this.

Because the show is available on a german pay tv comedy network, and FFS this is a video from a convention. What the hell is wrong with you? I guess for you the internet is a series of tubes that needs regulation like this.

Oh stillbash.
How quaint of you.
This is video from a convention, yes. Promoting a US show on a US network. Im sure whoever filmed it was paid by cartoon network to be there.
If the show is available on a german pay network, perhaps you should be complaining to them about their lack of extra promotion for the show. Bitching about not being in the country that the network who pays for the promotion of the show is ridiculous.
