All Kids Out of the PoolCartoon Network's Adult Swim block of shows started back in the '90s but has now expanded to be its own cable network... that shares the air with CN. Like living with its parents.
Vote up the most triumphantly badass and over the top moments of Brock Samson violence.
The Venture Bros. is one of the best cartoons on TV thanks largely to Brock Samson, one of the most violent and vicious animated characters ever conceived. Throughout Venture Bros., Hank and Dean's bodyguard has participated in bouts of violence befitting a man known as the Swedish Murder Machine. Whenever Sergeant Hatred isn't trying to fill his shoes, Brock tops himself as arguably the most badass secret agent ever created.
Seeing Brock put his combat skills to the test against robots, mummies, henchmen, ghosts, and wild animals is one of the best parts of the show. This murder machine has taken down nearly anything or anyone that stands in his way. All of which is done with pure rage, uncanny strength, and a bit of swagger.
The amount of sadistic creativity in how Brock dispatches his foes is equal parts awe-inspiring and hilarious. The "half Swedish, quarter Polish, quarter Winnebago" legend has thrown down on TheVenture Brothers many, many times, but only the more bloodthirsty, bone-breaking instances are on this list. Take a look and vote up the most violent Brock Samson moments from the legendary Adult Swim seriesThe Venture Bros.
In the series premiere "Dia De los Dangerous," Brock sets the bar high by pulling a move out of the Grand Theft Auto playbook. He simply runs over dozens of the Monarch's henchmen. Brock's twitching left eye and burning cigarette feed into his quiet rage as his car plows through each and every one of them. That'll teach them not to hit Brock with their truck.
Season one's "Ghosts of the Sargasso" showcases Brock's ability to maim and destroy with just his muscular buttocks. A pirate guard attempts to search Brock's most private bodily cavity, but a mere clench of Samson's cheeks breaks the pirate's hand. Not only that, but Brock's booty death grip allows him to swing the pirate's body around and knock out a second guard. Even Samson's ass has a body count.
Season one's "Eeny Meeny Miney... Magic!" has the Ventures and Brock envisioning their subconscious desires within Dr. Venture's "Joy Can." In one such dream, Samson, dressed like a tribal war chief, kills countless ninjas, frogmen, polar bears, and cowboys with flamethrowers riding dinosaurs. There's so much carnage that even Brock tires of the monotonous murder after a while.
In the season three episode "The Family That Slays Together, Stays Together Part 1," Brock is hunted by eccentric assassins, including a maritime-themed killer named "Go-Fish," whose plan to turn Brock into shark bait is thwarted by the mulleted murder master. Go-Fish gets the Ned Stark treatment from the mouth of a dead Jaws, proving that Brock can turn nearly anything into a murder weapon, even an apex predator.
All that junior henchman Speedy wants is to earn his wings from the Monarch. Well, in season one's "Dia de Los Dangerous," Speedy gets his wings all right. He earns his angel wings when Brock clenches his throat like a vise, despite the fact that Brock is, at that moment, unconscious. Only death can release his victims from the fury of Brock Samson, even when he's out cold.
Season four's "Pinstripes and Poltergeists" has the calm yet captured Shore Leave spell out the fates of his captors. His fellow teammate in Sphinx (SPHINX!), Brock Samson, gets the drop on them and lets his killer instinct go to work, fulfilling Shore Leave's prophecy. Samson is simply the best weapon to have in any covert black ops organization.
