The creators of The Venture Brothers were absolutely ecstatic that Conroy agreed to do Capt. Sunshine. Though, on the commentary, they admit that Conroy got so into it he started to creep them out. They even asked him to tone down the . . . er . . . pedophile overtones. Granted, they were still smarting from fan rejection of Sgt. Hatred--whose voice they love doing with a pedophile overtone. Basically, it was a joke they enjoyed . . . that they thought was "wicked funny!" . . . that not a lot of fans shared. To their credit, they started flushing the joke--just as they dispatched two characters they also thought were "wicked funny," but fans did not like. They even had Dr. Mrs. The Monarch[!--Ed.] grouse that said characters, "are really beginning to chaff my ass!"
As for Capt. Sunshine:
In a fit of drunken regret after he and Dr. Girlfriend were split, The Monarch[!--Ed.] killed Capt. Sunshine's previous Wonderboy. Capt. Sunshine not a pedophile . . . he just has very bad luck with side-kicks. Hence the, "but . . . keep him away from my kid," and the constantly, "no, not another one, Sunshine!" remarks.
This episode is one of their best--of many fantastic--a fan favorite, especially if you are/were a fan of Batman from AaaaaDAM WEST to the very good cartoon animation series.
