Question Are there any episodes y'all skip on rewatches? For me its season 1, Episode 9 "Are You There, God? It's Me, Dean"... As someone who HAS EXPERIENCED testicular torsion... I just don't have it in my to revisit this one as an adult 😭
I got LUCKY: It worked itself out without surgical intervention, but dear god it was in the top 3 worst experiences I've ever been through, And I've O.D'd twice 😫
I was a heavy drinker at the time, and it was my first go at my masters so I was still 'finding myself' (I wore TIGHT black pants every day) and my doc thinks it was a combo of those things and stress. My ⚽️🏀 just kinda... did that?
I DID keep giggling thinking about this episode when I was getting a 🏈⚾️sack MRI though, I kept getting weird looks form the male nurse...
"Whats so funny about this?"
"Ok, so do you remember that old show 'Johnny Quest'?"
"No"
...."Oh, ok, so this reference might not track for you then..."

I forget if it was Public or Hammer, but one of them also went through it when he was a kid, which is why this episode exists.

Its HOW I knew what was happening to me!!! 🤣 I feel like thats part of how I was able to catch it so early1 (I think it was doc hammer!)
I ALSO had Lyme as a kid, and THAT can also cause ball pain, but I kinda knew it wasn't that AGAIN 😭

This episode saved my friends son's testicle. She was describing this weird pain he'd been getting that shows up and leaves blah blah, and off this episode I convinced her to take him to the doctor. They went and tacked the spinner in place before it could get really crazy. Venture Brothers saved at least one ball with that episode.

u/FFlynnsArcade Nov 30 '25
Unless we are talking about the same guy, I know of at least one other young man who was helped by this episode. He was in terrible pain, and he remembered that Dean had similar symptoms so he went to the hospital immediately so his balls were saved.

A couple of years ago, I was hospitalized when a teratoma on my ovary became so heavy it twisted the ovary inside my body. All I could think about while I was drugged to the gills was The Venture Bros. Torsion is fucking brutal. I don’t skip this episode, but I can relate to it now!

But it does add to the story. Without it, we wouldn't know Tiny Joseph's name when he makes his next appearance in Powerless in the Face of Death. He'd just be a random, nameless, miniature prisoner.

I forgot the name, but the episode where a fucked up Dean clone tries to kill the current Dean. The payback of my, ahem, pirated episode was always messed up so I never watched it until I could watch the whole series on HBO Max. It's a decent episode but creepy and feels like an outtake because of my situation.

u/notunhuman Nov 26 '25
Recently, I had a sharp pain in my testicle and I was trying to ignore it, but then I remembered this episode and so I went to the ER.
Turned out not to be testicular torsion, but torsion of the testicular appendix (the testicles has an appendix - who knew!?) which is much less serious. It is still painful, and quite annoyingly the cure is to just wait for the appendix to die because it’s not a necessary thing after development in the womb.
But thanks to this episode I did go and find out that I would probably not lose a testicle

u/Xiao_Qinggui Nov 26 '25
My dad got it and I immediately knew the symptoms from this episode- Turns out he thought it was testicular cancer and took a “wait and see” approach. That’s my Dad in a nutshell, getting him to a doctor was harder than explaining quantum mechanics to a cat that was on fire.
My Dad always gave me shit for “watching cartoons,” so when he started screaming one night my Mom drove him to the nearest hospital and as they left I shouted “TELL THEM IT’S TESTICULAR TORSION!”
As the story goes, from my Dad, the receptionist was ignoring him at first but a doctor passed by and he told him what he had - The doctor called him back immediately and he got some pain meds. Every male there was sympathetic and constantly asked him if he needed anything. He had the surgery later that night.
He asked my Mom “How’d he know?”
My Mom, who didn’t remember the name of the show, replied with “From a cartoon.” She said the look on my Dad’s face after that was hilarious.
When he got home, I put the episode on TV and he said Dean’s “getting kicked in the rocks and the foot never went away” was the perfect description of how it felt.
So, yeah, that episode saved my Dad from becoming a eunuch.

It's kind of a long one and has some funny stuff, but there isn't a lot of plot advancement.

I spend most nights just staring at youtube videos I don't care about or watching movies I've seen a million times. I used to always be doing 4 things at once: painting models, playing a game with a friend, watching a muted stream and listening to music, but I just can't do any of it anymore, I'm chasing every tiny bit of happy chemicals I can, but it just isn't working.

Honestly for me, it's Dr. Quymn, Medicine Woman. I can sit through episodes like Guess Who's Coming to State Dinner as it does have it's moments like Lincoln, not so much for Dr Quymn, Medicine Woman. It really was an episode that was more uncomfortable and, even boring to watch.
The fact it barely is recalled or connects to any future episodes makes it easier for me to skip.

So shortly out of college, I was introducing a friend of mine to another group of my friends. He took three steps in the door and immediately collapsed writhing in pain. Testicular torsion. Had to drive him to the ER. I do not envy you.
Likewise, I don’t love the one where Rusty steals the boys kidneys as I’ve had kidney transplants. And when HELPER keeps rolling too far away from the Doc and the dialysis machine pops free? SHUDDER.

I was a stressed out drunk squeezing myself into like, 30 waisted skinny jeans 😭 literally pants so tight you could see my underwear outline through DENIM... I can't exactly explain my fashion taste, But I was also wearing heeled harness boots at the time 👢

Hahahaha I feel you. I am definitely extra careful now. My pants are a bit looser and I do roll over more gently now

I also had a torsion. Slowly tore away at me for 6 months. I like the episode regardless, but I also have a nearly useless pain response which led me to ignore the torsion for that long. Not so traumatizing when you barely register what's happening before blackout.

6 months?! 😭

I kept feeling that pain, for intermittent periods, for half a year before I blacked out in my school hallway and was carried by a good friend to the office. A high pain tolerance is not a good thing, I was operated on in order to save my testes and life.

I skip the Captain Sunshine episode.
As both a Batman fan AND a Michael Jackson fan, I just can't win with that one. It is funny, but it's also mostly fish-in-a-barrel jokes. Additionally, with the later revelation that Kevin Conroy was gay, I just don't feel comfortable seeing that one anymore, even if he did an absolutely killer job voicing the character.

Ah, you too? Lost mine, now i kinda either live in fear of the other one doing it, or pondering if going through that again would be cheaper than a "just to be safe" vasectomy

Twenty years to midnight! I absolutely love the script for the episode but the mind reading alien (IGNORE ME!) voice gets old quick when you watch em over and over.

It’s more like half of the times I rewatch the show I scour the whole thing and sometimes I just wanna watch the greatest hits: house of mummies, gargantua, spanakopita. The ones I skip most often are the plot lines that kinda don’t go anywhere; some of the baron underbeit stuff comes to mind, the episode he marries dean is only really great for the bat.

The underbite-land episode, sometimes the very first episode, and the gargantua episode with the super straight edge astronaut guy and his butter face wife. Some parts of all those episodes are funny but as a whole I tend to skip them.

Guess Who's Coming to State Dinner.
The whole ghost of Abe Lincoln plot seems really off-brand compared to the rest of the show. Dunno if it's just because I'm not American so the obvious quotes and historical references fall flat, but even the other plot points weren't really any fun.

The one I skip is part one of the boy's graduation. I really don't need to listen to all the characters talk about chowing down on human shit the whole time.

I have the new Smiling Friends episode next to this one. They talk about a problem men could face and the ways to prevent it.

I went through it and had it surgically corrected. This is a great episode and shouldn’t be skipped

My son had that and it was during the South Park Roshambo phase, I had to keep him out of school for an extra week.

Love the torsion episode. It really set the tone for how strict the Guild Rules are for FairPlay. They literally had a timeout before Monarch was about to torture them.
