Venture characters have a way of coming back again and again, even after their untimely deaths (Colonel Gentleman, anyone?). Still, there are a couple of awesome characters that somehow fell between the seat cushions of the velvety sofa that is The Venture Bros. Here are 10 of our favorites that only showed up once, but burned brightly for a brief moment.

• 10.

  Dr. Dugong

  Poor Dr. Dugong. All he ever wanted was the secrets of love and caring. But with a face like that, it's probably a secret he took to his grave.
• 9.

  The Nozzle

  You might argue that The Nozzle is not really a character. And if you do, you might also argue that you really have a social life. But we already know the truth now, Joykill.
• 8.

  The Cleaner

  All of this with just a spray bottle. You should really see what this guy can do with a Swiffer.
• 7.

  Scott Hall

  Poor Scott proves the only truism of the Venture universe: The more emotionally stable, the closer to death you are.
• 6.

  The Ghost of Abraham Lincoln

  Abraham Lincoln, The Great Unifier, is back to end the conflict of brother versus brother in a purely disgusting (and illegal) way.
