Don't be mean. I promise to do my best to judge that fairly.

and then you have the venture bros, where the monarch starts off as goofy and ineffectual but becomes more menacing as the series goes on and the stakes get higher
Also goddamn the Monarch is one of the best-written villains of all time.
My brother recommended Venture Bros. to me since I like the recent Harley Quinn series. I need to start watching it sometime.
Oh, its easily one of my top 10 all time TV shows, personally. It's smartly written from start to finish. Absolutely worth your time.
Upon a moment more thought, I'd reckon it may sit as high as #3 or 4. It's damn near perfect.
I haven't even watched the full thing but only caught episodes here and there and can tell it's top tier just based on those. I need to give it a real watch so I can appreciate how it all comes together.
As mentioned elsewhere, the first season or two is kinda rough animation-wise, but it's truly a masterpiece. If you're an 80s/90s kid, it's even better because they lampoon a lot from that era, specifically (but abstractly) Johnny quest.
