The Venture Bros. has been around for seven seasons over fifteen years, an underappreciated gem of an animated series.
Originally a parody of the 1960s Hanna-Barbera animated adventure show Jonny Quest, the the Venture Bros. has gone on to affectionately rag on pretty much every aspect of pop (especially nerd) culture, and has established a mind-boggling continuity and expansive universe.
In this episode, The Mighty Monarch takes on his new nemesis: Jonas Venture Jr. Who turns out to be a drastically more competent protagonist than his brother, Doc. Monarch sends Henchmen 24 and 27, who (despite being utterly incompetent) are his best guys, on a covert mission to Spider Skull Island to make the best of the situation. Joining them is hyper-competent Henchman 1, whom they quickly peg as the equivalent of a Star Trek redshirt.
Despite his apparent Death By Sampson, Henchman 1 would be back (under new villain guises) in later seasons until he crossed Brock's path again.
