Anyone who has ever worked in a bureaucracy knows that there is always some low/mid-level secretary/administrative assistant that knows everything: all the rules, which can be broken, which must be followed, and generally how to get sh*t done. The whole company would not function properly without this person. This is Watch and Ward.
Same as with the pirate or 21 and 24 when 24 died 21 picked up the slack and than some to say the least Brock and shoreleave Card holder and what's his name. There are a lot of duos
And welcome to the NCO corps, the whole reason no other country has managed to surpass the US military. Tribal knowledge never gets effectively written down.
@rudy2fat yup. If it wasn't for them, she'd be dead along with the rest of the council (and the Monarch would be half of who he is w/ the Rusty hatred being the other)
Watch and Ward regularly act like complete goofball and them being going pretty much unharmed for the entire show just shows how much of an important role they actually play in the Guild, if anyone else acted like a joke and they could easily be killed like the monarch's henchmen
I think their job would fit under "Customer/Public Relations and Master Of Ceremonies"and no one actually wants to do that job unless they really need the money.
My favorite part is the Art of Book of the show reveals their voices are Jackson and Doc doing their Megatron impressions. Which makes me laugh harder.
Yeah and honestly for a two man job they're doing wonders even if they do like to fuck with their clients but they're also part of the guild so it's expected I think
The monarch screaming "ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!" truly shows he not only didn't see that coming but the fact that he realizes he had a new hatred for Jonas and a deeper understanding for Rusty
“They’re wonderful and frightening! And they go into the sides of your neck and replaces all your blood.” “You’ll get your blood back at the end of the summit, unless the loss of life thing happens, then we’ll send your next of kin a big jug of blood and a very nice card” Definitely my favorite quote of theirs, maybe one of my favorite quotes in the whole show
I love the bureaucracy bits and world building of this show. Like how opposed to the Guild’s massive corporate syndicate with gears turning every second, there are various hero groups that vary in characters ranging from actual superheroes to the standard boy venture group. Honestly, really cool how each group in the Venture Bros Universe intertwined and weaves with another group.
I like the line "Great, why did I even bother putting my initials on it?" Because since their names are Watch and Ward, Watch might actually have the same initials as him.
@@Juber777 It's awful... but yes. A few weeks back, the Venture Bros got cancelled. I'm still keeping my fingers extra crossed that they get a revival, especially with how the next season was looking to be one that had a fuckton of crazy revelations in store.

i mean a good show leave stray plot points mixed in so they can work them into the story later and it feels more natural and organic because the facts or lead up existed before that episode of course you need to look out for all the unused leads or else it your gonna leave to many unanswered questions a good show will close them if they end up going a new direction
8:06 “he’s finally here, and he brought EON,” “How do know that?” “Here come the warm jets!” Then the iconic drum beat, probably my favorite subtle glam moment in the series So many rock stars are in the guild!
I disagree with the assertion that protagonist and antagonist are superior terms to good guy and bad guy. A protagonist is the one who is central to the story, their alignment doesn't factor in to it. An antagonist is the person who opposes the protagonist. It would be just as accurate to call the villain the protagonist, unless they DON'T see themselves as the main character in the story of their life... That's REALLY depressing if that's the case (and therefore likely accurate).
It has nothing to do with alignments It's based off of the serialization of TV shows like Johnny quest, GI Joe, and super hero shows that feature villain organizations such as the legion of Doom.
@@stonefree7973 I feel like everytime a villain protagonist is created, people end up sympathizing way too much with them. Mix that with the fact that different writers like to put their own unique spin on things, and it's kind of hard to have a comic series about someone who is consistently a "bad guy". The Punisher, Judge Dredd, and Deadpool come to mind.
Those terms probably come from The Treaty of Tolerance. And who was in charge of negotiating and signing this thing? Jonas Venture. A Protagonist. I bet a $100 he put that in as a clause to tickle his ego.
You get your blood back at the end of the summit. Unless the "loss of life" thing happens. Then we'll send your next of kin a big jug of blood and a very nice card.
@@Jaxvidstar Yeah, but you know they had a LOT more in store for us. Even if it's two and a half hours with every plot thread tightened into a beautiful grandma sweater, it still won't fell satisfying to me knowing we could've gotten so much more.
“You get your blood back at the end of the summit, unless the loss of life thing happens, then we’ll send your family a big jug of blood and a very nice card
During the Guild video, they show the graph. What's surprising to me about the pie graph isn't how much the guild represents villainy but how little the Peril Partnership and Fraternity of Torment(which I think is the EU version like how P.P. is Canada's) do. As well as how many villains are actually unlicensed.
For real. There was a serious lack of Venture Bros. content on RUclips for the longest time. Bittersweet to see many people finally checking it out after the cancellation announcement.
9:51 "You get your blood back at the end of the summit, unless the "loss of life" thing happens. Then we'll send your next-of-kin a big jug of blood and a very nice card."
I'm looking at them and I'm like dude why don't I have a twin this would be us! Also seriously this needs to come back if futurama and family guy got cancelled and brought back so can this show
Bored and wealthy and/or crazy and superpowered. It keeps them fighting one another instead of wrecking civilians. Just like the Second Civil War. The invisible one.
I like how their rank fluctuates between lackey and high-up admins randomly
they are the most important lackeys just like 24 and 21
@@Pheep5671 lol I came here to say they're basically the 21 and 24 of the guild.

It just dawned on me. These two are the guilds 21 and 24. Their obviously good friends who just enjoy goofing off.
The show really loves its duo's

"Best of Watch and Ward" and it's every scene with them? Accurate and appreciated!
That’s a good name

My favorite part is the Art of Book of the show reveals their voices are Jackson and Doc doing their Megatron impressions. Which makes me laugh harder.
I like how none of them sound even remotely like Megatron
That is just... All the chef's kisses. ALL OF THEM.

I'm gonna need a clip of Megatron from the original show explaining The Rusty Venture.
it’s funnier how they sounded more like starscream

Either they predicted Clancy Brown joining the cast, or as they wrote that line in the past, they got him onboard.
And at 11:46 there was a pic of Rusty and Malcolm’s half sister from earlier in the series
Watch and Ward always looked very 40K-ish to me.
They look like Administratum clerks with slightly less mechanical bits
@@pablocruz5613 they look like imperial storm troopers
@@TRZ99 Aren't they a little short for stormtroopers?

You know that level of unlicensed villains is rather high.
Probably the people that don’t even know there’s even stuff like the Guild, or the guys that new Sphinx deal with
The fact that Venture Bros was cancelled but Robot Chicken is still going is evidence of criminal fucking idiocy at the upper echelons of
Adult Swim.
I agree.
Damn, this comment is how I found out, I've been waiting this whole time for continuation
I mean
I dont think it was "idiocy"
At least it died when it was good, and didn’t become like The Simpsons.
It's because robot chicken is fairly consistent with its season release, where as venture bros released 7 seasons in 17 years

One of the best and most memorable animated shows I have ever seen. Right up there with Samurai Jack and Ed, Edd & Eddy.
It's like the best show ever, but also the most fucked up
2:15, it’s always weird to remember that Netflix was originally a video delivery service. God media has changed so much
12:25 they are risking their lives for breaking the rules but damn do i respect them for it
This show is great. They name drop the Peril Partnership in season 2 and then don't develop them until like season 7.
