The bits themselves just aren't funny by fabio 12/10/2012, 10:41pm PST
and I'm the guy who'll always argue in favor of rape jokes.

The serial killer bits just aren't funny. The premise is lazy, the setup obvious, and they go on far too long with no additional punchlines. "Oh he's going into his basement. There will probably be a body there because he's a serial killer.............................................................................yup there's some bones."

His earlier asides were just that: asides. A brief flash of blood and stock scream and they were done. Much more effective.

These bits exist solely for them to exercise their technical film chops in making violent schizo clips. Good for them I guess, but I wish they'd keep them separate to easily skip like they did with the Revenge of the Sith review.


(They also exist for the same type of wiki nerd who wanted Venture Brothers to ditch the jokes and have more backstory and drama on Dean and Triana getting together. Pandering to those people eventually ruins everything.)
