Ep 11. Tag Sale... You're It!

In the eleventh episode of the first season of The Venture Bros. titled "Tag Sale...You're It!", the dysfunctional Venture family is holding a yard sale to make some quick cash. As Dr. Venture tries to hawk old inventions, Rusty and Brock approach their neighbor and archenemy, the Monarch, who's also at the sale in disguise.

Meanwhile, Hank and Dean become embroiled in a classic "who can get the girl" contest, with Hank attempting to woo Triana, the daughter of their necromancer neighbor. As the day wears on, the Ventures and Monarch all bid on the same mysterious and possibly valuable item, a weird metallic orb. A chaotic and hilarious chase ensues, with everyone trying to claim the orb as their own.

As the stakes get higher and the orb is traded from person to person, alliances are formed and broken, with everyone in the town becoming involved in the race to possess it. The episode is filled with witty quips and absurd moments, such as Hank and Dean dressing up in identical costumes to make themselves seem cooler to Triana and Dr. Venture's failed attempts at selling a machine that turns garbage into gold.

Overall, "Tag Sale...You're It!" is a standout episode that showcases the show's unique blend of humor, pop-culture references, and anarchic storytelling. It also sets the stage for future plotlines, introducing key characters and themes that will be developed in later seasons. The episode is a must-watch for fans of the show and a great entry point for newcomers looking to dive into The Venture Bros. universe.
