If epic was a selection I would have chosen that one. Seeing the Monarch arch JJ was great. Doe and Cardholder were hilarious. Possibly the best episode in the series. Now because the Monarch can arch Rusty again!!!!! Legally this time!!!moreless

"Perfect"

By circusbass, Aug 12, 2008 Report Abuse

Between the Monarch weaving in and out of trouble when he finds out JJ doesn't mess around and JJ learning how to arch this episode was amazing. Brock helping JJ was awkward, however, this could be explained in later episodes. Doe and Cardholder's one liners were hilarious.

"He should have his own reality show"
"I'd watch it"
"I'd watch it twice"
"Even if it had Flavor Flav in it!"

"I'd marry it"
"I'd jeopardize our friendship by sleeping with it"

Pure comedic gold. Jackson Publick definately can write an amazing show. This episode gives the audience the image of the Monarch actually arching. Which in itself is always going to be funny.moreless

The Monarch goes after Jonas Venture Jr. Hank, Dean and Rusty never make an appearance, but still a excellent episode.

SPOILER!!!! 21 and 24 "...that rare blend of expendable and invulnerable that makes for a perfect henchman." They stumble through the episode and live to hench another day. The way they talk smack to number 1 the whole time is absolutely classic...poor foolish number 1 should've listened. I think this is my favorite episode this season...maybe of the series. The banter between Mr. Doe and Mr. Cardholder works great. "I like the cut of his jib." "I like the cut of his hair." ha ha ha I laughed out loud several times during this episode. Oh yeah that death ray was definitely gorgeous. Just ask Brock. Great work Doc Hammer and the rest of Astro Base Go.moreless

Trivia
ADD TRIVIA
- Trivia: Henchman 24 mentions former Henchman Speedy, and also when Brock hit him with a car. Both are from the first episode, "Dia de Los Dangerous." Ironically, the late Speedy predates both 21 and 24 as a named Henchman, and a full character. Edit

ADD QUOTES
- Henchman 24: Wait, here. What's your name? Henchman 1: Henchman 1! Henchman 24: See, you are nameless. Henchman 1: I'm Scott Hall! My name is Scott Hall, okay. Henchman 24: Mmm…nope. Won't help. Henchman 21: Now he's just Pathos. See you're all dyin' in my lap, and I'm all, "Scott! Scott, don't you quit on us! Don't you dare! Henchman 24: You just made you're unavoidable death, more pathetic. Henchman 21: *bleep* it. Nothin's gonna happen to me! (21 walks off and 24 follows) Henchman 24: Well? (1 walks toward them with his head held high when the alarm goes off) Henchman 1: Oh come on! Edit
- (Brock comes to find the henchmen. 21 and 24 pose with the mannequins in the museum while Henchman 1 uses his utility belt grapple hook his way up to a catwalk. Brock follows Henchman 1) Henchman 24: I've always wanted to try this, but the opportunity never comes up! Henchman 21: Yeah, poor guy missed out on like the greatest cliché in deception. Yeah, but that getting killed by Brock is a glorious way for a henchman to go. Edit
- Henchman 1: This floor is laser-trip wired. We have to find an alternate route. Henchman 24: Yeah, maybe over a shark tank or something. Henchman 21: Yeah, you go off and meet your maker while 24 and I keep going this way. Henchman 1: Okay, knock it off you guys. You're starting to get to me. Henchman 21: You still don't get it. 24 and I have been on, like, a thousand missions. We've been shot at, dipped in acid… Henchman 24: Brock Sampson hit me with a car! Drove right into my kidney. Here I am! Henchman 21: We could walk across this floor and nothing would hit us. But then like this huge log would swing down and take your head off. Edit

- Ventronic The Ventronic robot is reference to Voltron, what with being formed by separate vehicles, and the classic "I'll form the (body part)" command. Voltron: Defender of the Universe was an 80's cartoon, which was a redub of the Japanese cartoon Hundred Beast King GoLion and featured a team of pilots who would combine their vehicles to form a giant humanoid robot in order to save the world.
