Balloonenstein is the fifth episode of the first season of Aqua Teen Hunger Force.

Plot

In the opening, Carl is admiring his pool (completely decked out with painted flames and neon lights) and keeping Master Shake from getting anywhere near it. Suddenly, a black hole appears in the sky and begins to suck up Carl. Frylock goes up to help by tying a garden hose around his waste and having Shake hold on to it...leading Shake to tie it to a loosely-fitted gutter, causing Frylock and Carl to be sucked into the vortex.

Inside the house, Shake tricks Meatwad into getting in the dryer. When Frylock escapes the vortex (along with Carl, whose hands have grown greatly), he finds Shake inside and gets onto him for not holding the hose. When the dryer shuts off and Meatwad exits, he is found to have magical static powers (which he promptly uses to send Shake into the ceiling fan). While using his shots of electricity to mainly torment Shake, he does cause a great deal of harm: he shorts out Frylock's computer, jumps into Carl's pool (while Carl had his hand in it, blasting him across the yard and electrocuting him), and accidentally kills his friend, Squirrely.

Frylock, in a desparate attempt to get rid of Meatwad's powers, has Meatwad perform a "balloonism," having him take a blown-up balloon (shaped like Squirrely) and rub it over his body. Unfortunately, this doesn't work; the balloon becomes a massive electric balloon which becomes even larger when Frylock tries to destroy it with electricity from his eyes. Eventually, it floats towards the sea, and the Aqua Teens head towards the beack. Frylock covers Meatwad in glass and throws him in the ocean to pop the balloon; unfortunately, to get him to float, Frylock had to remove Meatwad's brain, causing him to just float around in the water and say "Do what now?" over and over. Eventually, another vortex opens, sucking up both the balloon and Meatwad.

Back home, while Shake and Frylock are in Carl's pool (with Shake claiming he could open the sky at his whim), Meatwad reappears, this time ten times his normal size. Meatwad asks Frylock to "get away from the pool," and he then proceeds to jump onto Shake and the pool as the episode ends.
