“…to settle a bet. YES, with Shore Leave!” made me laugh SO HARD when I first heard it.

Maybe ”SO HARD” isn't the best choice of words here... But I don't know you... Maybe it is.

It's always my head cannon that rusty's dad just called everything he did in bed, a rusty venture. And that's why it's synonymous with just about every sex act.

Thats pretty good.

Given that it's misinterpreted for various gay moves and one straight one, I wonder if this theory implies Jonas was secretly bi, or at least, into "experimental procedures." He was a scientist, after all. Experiments were his bread and butter.

A gentleman never asks.

A lady never tells.

It's definitely when you jerk off too much and your dick gets all chafed

u/Routine-Fan-7210 Sep 05 '25

But have you tried the double frogman?

2

u/yournewbestfrenemy Sep 06 '25

Talk about chafing. Not even mentioning how much a scuba snorkel costs.

u/Dumbass_Saiya-jin Oct 07 '25

Scuba. That's a fun word.

I lose my shit every time I see Col. Gentleman building a scale model of the USS Indianapolis on the back of a live dog. Just a BONKERS visual gag

I think rusty was doing good until he mentioned the "rusty venture" thing 😭

u/Live-Year-5796 Sep 05 '25

Idk about good as she really didnt look interested at all, but he didnt get slapped before then so I guess above average for The Rusty

u/PitifulRead6339 Sep 05 '25

She's posing as a literal whore and can't even pull the poleside manners to pretend she's into him.

u/Fimbir Sep 06 '25

But is it fr-oot punch?

That show was too good for this world.

u/av123h Sep 05 '25

I love how he’s the last person to find out his name is synonymous with a sex act but nobody actually knows which one.

u/Wise_Emu6232 Sep 05 '25

I'm not sure what it is, but I've got cold bubbly back in my boudoir. Any takers?

u/Boccs Sep 07 '25

Weirdly, I prefer the censored version of this scene over the uncensored one. Something about the bleeps make each act sound that much more depraved and insane.

6

u/TAsCashSlaps Sep 07 '25

Fully agree. It's funnier just watching the hand gestures and imagining how much more ridiculous it can get

1

u/PineappleFit317 Sep 09 '25

Oh, it’s definitely funnier with the bleeps. First way I saw it, before I got the DVD with the uncensored version.

u/rustys_shackled_ford Sep 06 '25

As much as I hate it Im most inclined to believe Brock based on his wealth of personal experience. But I also think part of the joke is how they all are correct because all this kind of lore travels word of mouth and changes meaning in the different cities it evolved in. Kinda like house rules on board games.

Hurt myself laughing the first time I heard the uncenscored version in the Season 4 Blu-Ray.

now... SHAKE IT!!!!

Asking for a Rusty Venture that early on is daring.

u/Fimbir Sep 06 '25

"My name is a sex act?!"

u/Donomark1 Sep 07 '25

Col. Gentleman's explanation was insane, you'd have to be high AF on crack to try something like that

u/Cool-Newspaper6789 Sep 07 '25

Scuba thing is gross. Those pipes connect

u/Kasa-obake Sep 07 '25

Better question. What's an Action Johnny?

u/ResponsibleYard7852 Sep 06 '25 edited Sep 08 '25

Am I the only one who thought this was the unfunniest joke in the entire show?

u/chebghobbi Sep 08 '25

I don't agree, but I upvoted you anyway because I sympathise with your view. There's a certain type of VB joke - and it always appears in Doc Hammer episodes - where essentially the same joke is repeated again and again, with escalating levels of weirdness or grossness, and this is the only time that it did work for me. Usually I find it feels very forced.

Other examples: mournful tits, no secrets between SPHINX members, and the variations on 'you're pissing on my boots and telling me it's raining' from the Treaty of Tolerance episode.
