The funny thing is he was suppose to be a one off villain in the pilot, but after all this time has pretty much became the secondary main character of the whole show

Yall have to admit. Despite Monarch plans being silly and completely disastrous/incompetent at times, he has the drive, will, hate and absolute confidence/take no shit attitude as a top tier villian.

Red Death: "A man can do terrible things when he's lost his way" Monarch: *Sweating Intensifies*

"i..i have cuttlefish" "LOOK INTO MY EYEEEESS"

I like how the monarch has more empathy than rusty even though he's the super villain

I like for most of the time the Moppets have been bullying him but when he finally stands up to them, their scared shitless

The Monarch is the most cliche villain but somehow has enough depth to the character himself for it to never get stale. Art

The Monarch is the best, but I love that scene with Red Death. The moment he puts his hands on the monarchs shoulder, its like "Listen boy" completely dominates the encounter. Amazing show, the writing and animation is seriously rivals any other T.V series, the amount of detail, I just rewatch them and always find new little touches I love.

I swear The Mighty Monarch is the shit. He takes nerdiness and makes it so cool. He is a one off Villain with such an honest insecure heart. Well, that's how I see it.

Im the fucking monarch let me in now is by far my favorite line from who is the greatest villain in any form of media.

Monarch has to be my fave villian in TV history, He's funny, a menace and He takes no shit from anyone. I also loved how He became friends with 21 and 24. I would be a Monarch henchmen anyday

If you think about it. He's been protecting Rusty the whole time.

God, the Captain Sunshine moment is one of his best moments as an antagonist

I AM THE MONARCH EVERYTHING I SAY IS MY BEST!

9:10 They gave that line to his dad. If that's intentional. _Genius_

You say this as if his every moment isn’t his best.

That part with RD in the park is great , he loved the puppet thing because it's something a old school bad guy would do , the classic comics bad guy .

5:11 .. that monologue.. so crazy funny .. and the tattoo.. real villain

“I’ll pretend I can’t find the clean up towel and leave her caked in my sticky triumph!”

You know the monarchs henchmen are actually kind of intimidating when they hey start appearing in huge numbers

"lead a man to do terrible things..." "Give us the cuttlefish!" Red Death was right all along.

The one thing I love was when he finally cut his beard and long ass eyebrows, plus he act more of a friend to 21 and less lilike a tyrant

One of my favorites is in the season 3 finale where he flies but spins so much he throws up.

Can we talk about how the monarch watched hentai???

1:20 “Just pretend he’s Dr. Venture.” The moment he did, he still knew it wasn’t Rusty. But his hatred meant he could kill him and Rusty would still be alive, to truly be crushed by the deadly sting of the Monarch.

I love monarch and his VA every time he talks about how much he hates rusty it's sounds so real and passionate

"bare me Theseus, for I am the mighty Minitoar!!" Had me dying🤣

I love how dysfunctional his system is and how when he’s having the call he asks who all is here and the dude just starts saying them by their numbers all out of order thinking he understood 😂

This show is GOLD and deserves more seasons than the Simpsons

Kinda strange he was going to use a gun on Red Death, a regular old gun, nothing even butterfly themed

Dude, whenever you can see the monarchs abs. He is RIPPED!

THE DEADLY STING OF THE MONARCH!. They even named one of the most broken riffles in borderlands 3 after him, including that quote. My favorite quote is still "GIVE US THE CUTLEFISH!" though.

"JAIL IS FOR TRAFFIC VI-O-LATIONS. I AM IN PRI-SON!" i fucking love the way he enunciates shit

Coming here after the movie. Man... his hatred for Rusty is both ridiculous and makes SO much sense

I love now Dr. monarch didn't get killed in the whole wide whale story because of he and the (regenarative) Dr. Ong are _brothers_

5:00 the best moment ever.

" You abandoned me....! You abandoned my hatred...!

As a new jersian i have never seen the pine barrens look so good 😅

Loved the scared straight parody. That had me cracking the for a while

I just noticed that when he goes on with that monologue red death has a vein pop out on his forehead like he was about to give in and strangle the monarch

It goes to show how badass the Monarch really is when he goes to prison and completely takes the place over despite being locked up with a bunch of villains who could easily rip him to pieces with their bare hands.

I would of liked to of seen a future or spin off in the future where Lyla is just a powerful and terrifying villain as her dad

You know, thinking about this now, I can only say this We know that the Monarch is bellow Brock in terms of threat, but we surely know he is above the moppets in terms of threat considering how easily they back off when he is serious.

Did anybody else notice how Dean's face changed from a shaky lower lip he got when The Monafch was selling him for a smoke seconds later while in King Gorillas embrace he had more of a slight smile .

4:01: Honestly, what kind of jackass would leave every door unlocked?

I love 21 confessing about 24 when the person who killed 24 was the Monarch

"Do I have to get a can of Raid and spray you?" Bwahahaha

The "Beaver Larva" bit is so fucking good

15:34 One of my favorite jokes in the entire show. ❤😂

“King, I gotta buy my bitch back. Here’s your cigarette.” Lmfao

this is probably one of my favorite adult swim villain

Allergic reaction Monarch's a spitting image of Victor Mature!

*SPOILERS!* Oh, I get it now. The Monarch hates HIMSELF more than anyone else. when he sees Rusty, he is filled with hatred and wants nothing more than to kick his ass because he sees himself in his brother's face and it activates his self hatred. he is kicking his own ass by uising his brother as a proxy.

Any scene with Red Death and Monarch together is going to be gold.

21 is just plain adorable in the animatic at the end

I can't believe they didn't get him to voice Skeletor. Would have been so much better than Mark Hamill's Joker voice

This is gonna be a long one so. TLDR The Monarchs second name means a lot more to his and his father's character than you may think. Fun fact the name Fitzcarraldo is from the movie whose theme is human conceit in the face of nature. The arrogance of man against nature is the opposite to the monarchs beliefs while also playing a huge role in his and his father's story. For the rest of this comment I'm going to be referring to the monarch as Malcom and Venturian as Don. Dons original story was that he was a boozed up socialite who fought crime by taking over the criminals organisation, a similar story to that of the green hornet whom he is based off. Already we have a Don challenging a much stronger foe than him, and becoming more arrogant in his actions. He proves successful as he's apparently good enough to challenge the likes of Scaramantula's organisation. It's during this moment he meets his downfall in jonas and because he felt so powerful he ended up agreeing to the orgy and thus began his life as Ventures Junkyard dog until a force of nature or man kills him and his wife. Don being made into a crime against nature by jonas and then by being brought back from the dead again by Dr Z. He is the embodied idea of man's hubris against the natural law. And then you have his son. Malcom on the other hand respects nature, particularly butterflies, so much he has a framed picture(?) of a butterfly he considers his mother on his desk. He lived among butterflies and based his entire villain persona on them as a tribute to the ones that basically saved his life. Malcoms also rejects the majority of authorities he's faced with beyond nature. This is most obvious when he takes up the mantle of the blue morpho rather than following guild protocol. As well as this he targets one of the most famous scientists in the world Rusty as his ultimate arch. Besides their past, Rusty as a scientist is constantly playing with the laws of nature more so than a lot of his peers (see Spanish fly mutant mantis hookers), making him the perfect arch for Malcom. This name alone adds so much layers to Malcoms character in my opinion.

I’m glad that Depeche Mode moment is in this video. I reference that way too many times than I should lol

Best of 24 .. second top henchman

"Just pretend he's Dr. Venture." ". . . Give me that gun."

He reminds me of Loki as drawn by Jack Kirby and Ron Frenz.

Been waiting for this. My new favorite channel

Only 19 minutes??? Every Monarch moment is a best moment.

4:55 is the monarch as his finest

14:30 rip the lunchroom

Theyre all great but imo 11:20 had me dying laughing on the floor when i first saw it.

Saddened me to see this video without the clip of the monarch and the hooker he took to the base then basically tortured her as he kicked her out one of monarch’s finest moments when he shows her the manotaur tattoo

Surprisingly more competent as a hero/anti hero

Literally the best villain of all time.

The Monarch is to my knowledge the only person in the show that made the Moppets back down.

That last prison phone call scene, was that a cut scene cuz I don't remember it at all.

Ironically he’s kinda Rusty’s best friend. Nobody knows him like the Monarch

What is an “acid magnet”? Is it a magnet that also shoots acid? Is it a magnet that gathers acid?

Where the hell was this channel a year ago when I binged this show 🤣🤣

We need to get this show back on the air!!! It was too damn epic to get cancelled that quickly

The Monarch has his hands in many a maniacal soup!

9:40 One of the best scenes ever😂

I love this chaotic butterfly Please do Orpheus

I had this personal headcannon that The Monarch would be UBERpowerful if Rusty had never become his Arch

I love the blue morpho arch

This video makes me laugh so hard 😂😂😂😂

Rocko was so lucky the knife handle hit him.

Red death has a point about separation of work and home

13:23 is one of my all time faves. Of any character.

I hear Dr Girlfriend's voice coming out of a man's body and I think "no one will ever believe her as a man." WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO ME?

Great video!

GIVE US THE CUDDLE…fish.

honestly they shouldn't have cut the prison phone call, if they shot it exclusively from The Monarchs perspective it would've been hilarious.

16:10 21 looks so adorable.

Who else wants this guy for Multiversus?

LOOK INTO MY EYES!!!! That part still cracks me the hell up every time

So the Monarch is a Minotaur Bull Baboon Butterfly man?

9:46-10:38 I gotta use that on somebody 🤣

Every time I watch the old episodes. I begin to want to see another season of the venture brothers (After watching the movie)

I’m so sad that there are no more seasons and there won’t be

12:53 I love the classect clizeis with traps

The best skit with him off all time was the “married to a woman? But he’s in Depeche mooooooode!”

I can't believe he killed the cuddlefish man 😢

Best of the Monarch could be many hours long

this is awesome !!
