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.

Wait, you're telling me that the Six Million Dollar Man/Bigfoot thing wasn't just made up for Venture Bros? Bigfoot was canonically in that show?

Repeatedly so--

Season 3 Episode 16-17: The Secret of Bigfoot

Season 4 Episode 1: Return of the Bigfoot Part 1(part 2 was a Bionic Woman Episode)

Season 5 Episode 5: Bigfoot V

Spoilers for a 50+ year old show, vvvvvv

sometimes Bigfoot is actually just an android made by aliens to look like Bigfoot.
