I love how wholesome this actually is, and also how everything here is written explicitly for a very small audience.

[@JuhoLepisto]

I come back here just to laugh at the "Mommy? ... PROGRESSIVE ROCK!" line. It is also fantastic that the musical references are spot on. Although In the Court of the Crimson King is relatively easy album compared to Area's Crac! or Magma's Üdü wüdü. I wonder how bad a Magma scientist can be?

I think they also mention Pink Floyd in the same episode you're talking about. Not 100% sure though.

[@Chuixupu]

Yeah, he walks back in later to find Dean passed out and says "Oh no, he's fallen into a Floyd hole!"

[@Samhain410]

Yeah I remember that part but I was talking about the Mike Oldfield episode. I think it was one of The Monarch's neighbors says something like: "I pay how much money to live in a gated community, and some loser cranks a Mike Oldfield record?! What's next?! Pink Floyd?!"

[@Chuixupu]

Oh yeah, I think that is what he said. I was just thinking "how many people watching this even know who Mike Oldfield is?"

[@Komnen0s]

I love how thrilled Dean is to be doing something as mundane as listening to a prog rock album he really likes. Something I've noticed while reflecting on the show is how both of the titular brothers have this boyish enthusiasm about everything they do that makes them endearing to me. They're so sweet and good-natured that it makes me feel sort of bad that they die so often.

[@maxwellwagoner-watts4747]

They are good natured and sweet because they are innocent. They are perpetual children and you notice in the last two seasons as they live longer than they ever have they both become substantially more jaded.

[@greasemonkey6359]

@@maxwellwagoner-watts4747 Not necessarily. You just see them respond to their world differently. Dean, being closer to his father but wanting to avoid science, is the one to become more cynical and jaded. Hank, on the other hand, was closer to Brock and wanted to take after him, so he stays adventurous through the final seasons. I think it's a situation of Dean becoming a cynic and Hank becoming a knowledgable optimist: they used to be identical, but growing up and seeing how screwy their world is, now they're foils that help to outline each other's strengths and weaknesses.

Venture Bros creators really love their music

“And no air drumming this time, Bruford can change the timing up so fast it can snap your wrist” 😂😂😂❤❤ so true

So I know I'm likley to get the usual gasps and scoffs that generally accompany not knowing about something cool, but I'm not up on my prog-rock.. Is the first song that comes on "YES?" "King Crimson?", something else? Or is it a mash up of a bunch of those groups put together?

[@caiuscosades5082]

Jesse Mazzola As far as I can tell it's not an actual song, but it's unmistakably modelled after Yes. Check out their fourth album Fragile.

[@harveyblackheart]

cool. I will. thanks! :)

Jesse Mazzola Woah, a Mazzola. A Mazzola who knows King Crimson. I approve

[@harveyblackheart]

Are we related?? haha

[@caramazzola2399]

Probably! I've never met a Mazzola before. My dad was from Venice - do you have Italian family?

[@DavidB.Rockin]

Plays Gentle Giant!

It was this moment that made me love this show, when they mentioned King Crimson, then he tells him "you're not ready to step in the court of the crimson kings yet" i was fucking dead because its so true, i recently got to see them live in Austin 2017 which i never thought would happen, & then when he goes through sacred geometry trip i was like wtf is this show "i love it" been hooked ever since!

This is an accurate dramatization of the 1st time you listen to Prog Rock.
