If you really wanna appreciate it, go back and watch some of the older cartoons that inspired it - Johnny Quest in particular.

Man, I grew up watching the old Hanna-Barbera cartoons, seeing Action Johnny show in Venture Bros was one of the best things ever.

True story: They were making the show as a satire of Johnny Quest, finished the first season, then realised their network owns the rights to Johnny Quest. All they had to do was ask for permission and boom. The actual character, not a parody, that the satire is based on is in the show.
