For someone who almost only has the character trait of, "such a know-it-all that they're a prick," Zero's firearm training was shotty at best holding the gun that close to *Brock Samson* and those in the same cell as him.

One thing alot wont notice is that he is the same in real life as he was in the show. nobody when thinking of the Venture Brothers will think about how cool Henchman 1 was, or at all. Only when given example of his existence will we be like "oh yeah". Same for the characters in the show.

Wow.... Killed by brock twice.... This guy had it either rough or good?

RIP Speedy, never got his wings

I love how they wanted to bring this character back more than they did, but Chris McCulloch was hesitant because in order to do the voice, he had to choke himself with one hand. You really hear it in the first appearance

6:50 is one of the most savage shit ever from brock. He did all that on one leg without losing balance. Its so... graceful yet deadly.

Fun fact, Mr.White is using a Trident which wwas the weapon of choice for the Retiarus A class of light armored gladiators, who were popularly considered cowardly and effeminate because of their preference for defensive fast skirmish fighting rather than fighting "properly"

I like how zero is wearing a uniform under a uniform to disguise people from knowing who he is

Thanks for uploading this,I just rewatched Zero’s first episode!!

Henchman 0 is actually the famous wrestler Scott Hall AKA Razor Ramon AKA Henchman 1 AKA ZERO lol

I just got that Zero calls both billy and white each others hench/sidekick. Flawless.

Ironically Zero survived longer than 21

"My name is Scott Hall..." Me: "and his buddy Kevin Nash"?

21 realized he couldn't really strike out on his own and so he henched for Monarch. He survived. 1/0 thought he was bigger than his pants and died a pathetic death while throwing a tantrum shouting he was actually someone.

"Oh don't encourage him Richard!" So of course this means he constantly does this.

If you're gonna shoot - shoot, don't talk

That first question by Mrs Monarch is great. A question no one asks in any other media that we have wanted to know at some point.

To be fair, he _did_ outlive 24.

i hate how you can totally hear that its him in the armor during the zeus phase but i still never noticed it was him until it was revealed...

Man kinda wished zero outsmarted brock at least one, by accident.

"Stop fighting and Fight!" How can a guy be serious and hilarious at the same time?

Zero you deserved way more respect from everyone, you should have gotten it and it was not right at all the way you got ended like that. It was so inexplicably wrong of the producers and all of the characters in this damn show to deny you more so much more credit.

You feel bad for Scott, the man seemed to be genuinely capable and a cut above other henchmen and could have been a great villain but his ego and insecurity ended up bogging him down.

3:26 The Clue that Gave 21 all he needed to figure out who he was.

I think his name being Scott is funny cause he def was giving Cyclops vibes the whole time

I love the fact that 24 brings up Speedy.

So it looks like they need pairs of henchmen, it works better 24 & 21 The murderous moppets The venture twins Hank and Dean . . . They die a lot so that's what henchman do Billy & Pete White Brock/hatred and rusty Brock/hunter gathers Having different builds allows speciality in skills Like a skinnier teammate with a huskier teammate One to tank things & carry a bigger load, one to scout & secure Then you have groups of them based on that performance, this is only what I've seen from the venture bros, it works season after season to have two different build teammates mostly they live

The Monarch's most loyal henchman!

It’s one thing to survive Sampson but it’s another to dance with the reaper twice. Dude was begging for it, really.

I think had Zero saw villainy as fun (like 21) or a way to gain power (like Phantom Limb) instead of ego-boost then he'd probably wouldn't have died.

It still surprises me that he outlived 24

Imagine if 21 had outted Zero as Scott instead of 1

Lol I was going to say "I hench for NO MAN" but I'm cool with that. The complete opposite of a fallen hero like Jason Todd aka Red Hood.

I find it hilarious how 21 and 24 are right and how invisible they are to everyone

Zero actually lasted longer than 24

I did not realize how much he showed up in the show.
