    And yet I find shows like The Venture Bros. funnier when they have the curse words bleeped out for broadcast than left uncensored.

      I prefer it uncensored. Imagine if they hid Sgt Hatred’s “two great big pillowy gifts from God” or blanked out Rusty’s response to being demanded the hand of Osiris. The jokes wouldn’t have landed the same way.

        Yeah, but the “A Rusty Venture is when you [BLEEP] your [BLEEP] and then she [BLEEP] all over your [BLEEP] and then you [BLEEP] her [BLEEP]” scene is funnier specifically because of the ambiguity.

          I don’t blame you if you prefer it that way. Part of that joke though was just how equally disgusting but drastically different everyone thought was a “Rusty Venture.” Knowing just how different made it so funny.
