I like that look for Andre. He could maybe have battled Lou Ferrigno ("The Incredible Hulk") on a special event show that was running those days, called Battle of the Network Stars. Cheesy premise, but I thought it was actually pretty amusing.

Wow, i just gets better and better.

We need a Venture Bros community on the FV, or at least a /c that encompasses it somehow.

I got kicked out of the one on Reddit for sharing some fair-usage pics from the massive (and massively awesome) book from a couple years back. After two posts, mod got upset about me illegally sharing the book there in a series of posts that would have had to have eventually numbered 500+ in total. When I pointed out the hypocrisy of loads of other copyrighted material being shared there on a regular basis, he lost it. Bloody wanker.

There is VentureBros@lemmy.world community.

I'm subscribed but no one posts. That's my fault too.

Typical problem of the Fediverse: loads of communities, but most of them dead or neglected. We don't need more of them, we need more community-runners and posters.

Unfortunately I'm already modding two places and regularly posting in half-a-dozen.
