Aqua Teen Hunger Force (a.k.a. ATHF) is an American animated comedy shown on Cartoon Network as part of its Adult Swim late-night programming block. The series features three anthropomorphic fast food items—the Aqua Teen Hunger Force or Aqua Teens—whose stated purpose is to solve crimes. As the series progressed, the crime-solving aspect of the show was quickly abandoned, although many episodes still involve villains. There is also little emphasis on continuity between episodes: virtually all of the recurring cast members have died at least once. The focus is instead on character interaction and a pervasive form of brutal, ironic humor.

Overview

Aqua Teen Hunger Force was created through brainstorming episode ideas for Space Ghost Coast to Coast. None of the Aqua Teen Hunger Force characters appeared on Space Ghost Coast to Coast prior to the airing of the pilot episode of Aqua Teen Hunger Force in late 2000. However, an episode of SG:C2C featuring a prototypical version of the Aqua Teen Hunger Force, "Baffler Meal" (a parody of McDonald's Happy Meal), was produced once this series became popular. A full first season was put into production shortly thereafter and its first episode was shown on September 16, 2001. To date, three seasons have been produced and the fourth season is currently in production.

During the first three seasons, episodes opened with a glimpse into the laboratory of Dr. Weird (within the Belle Isle Asylum, located on the South Jersey shore). The clinically insane Dr. Weird and his baffled assistant Steve use the first several seconds of the show to create monsters, disasters, or random silliness (generally accompanied by the phrase "Gentlemen, behold!" as Dr. Weird unveiled his latest accomplishment). These monsters would then potentially have to be dealt with by the Aqua Teen Hunger Force in early episodes, although later on the Dr. Weird segment was effectively an unrelated opening gag. Starting with the fourth season, a segment called Spacecataz begins the show. The segments feature the Plutonians and the Mooninites clashing with each other, trading insults and gestures.

Aqua Teen Hunger Force is written and directed by Dave Willis and Matt Maiellaro. It is produced by Williams Street Studios, who also produces other animated shows such as The Brak Show and Sealab 2021. Noted 1980s rap artist Schoolly D performs the theme song. Each episode is approximately twelve minutes in duration.

The title of the show is a decided misnomer: The characters have no major affiliation with water (though many episodes involve their neighbor's pool), they aren't teenagers (though their ages are never really established), and they are rarely shown as any kind of a force. "Hunger" seems to be the only word that has a bearing on the characters' lives.

A feature-length movie of Aqua Teen Hunger Force is in production and said to be coming out in late 2005. The movie will feature the origins of the characters in, "a typical 'Aqua Teen' fashion." The plan is to get the film released in a limited theatrical run, although it might go straight to DVD.

Characters

The Aqua Teen Hunger Force

File:Frylock.gif

Frylock (voiced by Carey Means) is a red box of french fries, sporting a goatee, french fries for hair, dental braces, and a blue mystic jewel which is embedded in his back. He moves by levitation, and has the ability to shoot things such as lasers or fireballs from his eyes. He uses his fries as appendages. Frylock is scientifically-minded and usually the most sane and rational member of the team. His comedic role is usually that of the straight man. On the Adult Swim New Year's Eve party, it was revealed that he created Thundercleese, a large robot who lives next door to Brak and his family on The Brak Show. He and the others carry secondary weapons as well, and Frylock owns a sawn-off shotgun that was used on the last cloned TV and showed him using his shotgun on his own friends and Carl.

File:Shake.gif

Master Shake (voiced by Dana Snyder), usually called Shake, is a rude, mean-spirited, and self-centered white cup with a pink straw sticking out of his lid. He has two yellow gloves for hands. Unlike the other members of the Force, Shake has no overwhelming superpower: when he tries to summon a power, he usually ends up dripping a glob of milkshake out from his straw. Though it should also be noted many objects he throws on the ground explode. He takes endless satisfaction in tormenting Meatwad, and can often be found watching television. As the self-appointed leader of the Aqua Teens, "Master" Shake routinely makes irresponsible decisions, the results of which are frequently disastrous. Incredibly selfish and callous, he is completely unconcerned with anyone's well-being except his own; he seems oblivious to any suffering his behavior causes others, yet he will become violently petulant the moment he feels he has been wronged in the slightest. He appears to be utterly incapable of learning anything from even the most catastrophic consequences of his actions. His exploits are often the centerpiece of episodes, opposite Frylock's attempts to retain some control over the situation. Shake carries a wooden baseball bat that he uses to abuse the aforementioned TV and the other televisions, and uses it to scare and beat up Meatwad.

File:Meatwad.gif

Meatwad (voiced by Dave Willis) is a spherical mass of compressed meat that was not approved for human consumption. He has a face sporting a lone tooth protruding from his upper jaw. He has the power to change his shape, but cannot do so very effectively; he is usually limited to morphing into immobile objects such as a large hot dog or an igloo, though his morphing abilities have, at times, included taking the shape of Abraham Lincoln with a samurai sword and the "meat bridge". While he is usually simpleminded and gullible, and thus easily influenced by the show's many unscrupulous characters, he does occasionally demonstrate a devilish capacity for manipulation and a mastery of deadpan sarcasm. Meatwad carries a silver revolver handgun, but he doesn't know how to use it, and turns it on himself by mistake in which Master Shake turned it around to make it fire on himself. Somehow though he shoots himself, he miraculously survives.

Carl Brutananadilewski (voiced by Dave Willis) is the Aqua Teen Hunger Force's only neighbor. Balding, overweight, profusely hairy, and usually wearing a gold chain, white tank top, pocketless sweatpants, and green flip-flops, Carl embodies the unmarriageable bachelor. This is reflected in his intense interest in pornography, low self-esteem, and poor grooming. He has an above-ground swimming pool in his backyard and a red sports car named "2 Wycked". His pool is often used by the Aqua Teens without his permission. He or his possessions often end up being the unwitting victim of the Aqua Teens' enemies or the Aqua Teens themselves.

Dr. Weird (voiced by C. Martin Croker) is a mad scientist who lives in an abandoned mental asylum on the rainy shores of southern New Jersey. Dressed in a colorful outfit reminiscent of 1960s cartoon villains, complete with glass space helmet (his "Hair-arium"), he starts many shows by presenting his latest creation with his catch phrase "Gentlemen, behold!" to his lone lab assistant Steve. His nonsensical inventions include a giant rabbit robot called Rabbot and a rainbow-making machine. A picture of his younger self with Frylock on Frylock's bookshelf suggests that he has some past ties with the ATHF.

Steve (also voiced by C. Martin Croker) is Dr. Weird's assistant. Red-haired, wearing a lab coat, and frequently holding a test tube, Steve is aware of Dr. Weird's insanity, but he remains his assistant nonetheless.

MC Pee Pants, aka Sir Loin, aka Little Brittle (voiced by Chris Ward, a.k.a. mc chris) is a demonspawn rap artist from Hell, who is reincarnated in different forms. With each return, he establishes a new name and identity, but his voice, personality, and clothing remain constant. In each incarnation, he wears a diaper, a shower cap and a gold chain around his neck. He usually has an elaborate scheme to take over the world, which begins by sending instructions to his listeners in the form of a hit rap single. In the past, he has taken the form of a giant spider, a cow, and an elderly human. He was also briefly a worm, but was quickly stomped on and crushed by Err in The Last One.

The Mooninites, Ignignokt (voiced by Dave Willis) and Err (voiced by Matt Maiellaro), are pixelated, two-dimensional inhabitants of the Moon. Ignignokt, the leader, is green and larger than his purple counterpart Err. He speaks with a usually self-important, condescending air. Err is his hyperactive and trash-talking tagalong. Err fits precisely in a notch in Ignignokt's head, joining them together activates their super power; they can fire a large square slow-moving (and easily avoided) video-game "bullet" they call the "Quad Laser". A more powerful version of this attack is known as the "Glacier" which also happens to be much larger and much slower than its counterpart. The Mooninites enjoy boasting that the Moon is superior to Earth in every way, often referring to Earth objects or concepts as "primitive," although they can never prove this superiority when they attempt to do so. Resembling extremely simplistic, blocky low-resolution game sprites, the duo is a sendup of the Atari 2600 era of video games. The sound effects that accompany their movements are taken directly from such classic early arcade games as Space Invaders and Asteroids.

The Plutonians, Oglethorpe (voiced by Andy Merrill) and Emory (voiced by Mike Schatz), are two spiny extraterrestrial creatures who are orange and green, respectively, and usually sport nothing but sweatbands. According the show's website, they became misshapen and deformed after trying to retrieve their keys in a woodchipper. They want to eventually conquer the Earth, but instead spend more time devising bizarre, ill-advised ideas and bickering with each other. They command a huge spaceship that they barely know how to operate. Oglethorpe is high-strung and easily angered, speaks in an Austrian accent, and conceives most of their plans, while Emory is much more passive. Both are named after universities in Atlanta (Oglethorpe University and Emory University). According to the digital ruler, Ignignokt, "Plutonians are teh suck."

Super Hero (June 1 2003): Shake wishes to become a superhero, and after his promotional schemes fail, he obtains several vats of radioactive liquid to splash upon himself and gain superpowers.

  • 23. Supermodel (June 22 2003): Master Shake travels to Guatemala for plastic surgery because he can't afford to have it done in the United States.

In the end, the Aqua Teens discover that Sir Loin is actually MC Pee Pants reincarnated as a cow.
  • 26. Super Squatter (September 7 2003): Master Shake forgets to pay the bills, and the Aqua Teens lose the use of their utilities. Frylock makes a last-ditch attempt to teach Shake some responsibility by letting everything stay off until Shake gets the bills paid up, but he underestimates the depths of Shake's irresponsibility. Instead of paying the bills, Shake visits Carl's house uninvited and decides to stay indefinitely after Carl, attempting to drive Shake away with a shotgun, accidentally shoots himself in the foot and is unable to move. Meatwad and Frylock eventually take Carl to the hospital, where his HMO doctor, unsure of how to approach the situation, reattaches Carl's foot by sewing it to his forehead. In the end, Shake finally takes some responsibility for the utilities in, as Frylock puts it, "The most ass way possible": stealing electricity from Carl's house with the help of a few dozen extension cords. Luckily, Carl's pain medication has him far too messed-up to notice or care. Showing his usual level of compassion, Shake repays his neighbor's hospitality by directing him to the Aqua Teens' "guest room" - on the front lawn near a large anthill, which the heavily medicated Carl promptly lays down in ("If you need anything... there's some ants.").
  • 27. The Meat Zone (September 14 2003): Meatwad begins having visions of spoiled chocolate milk and the garbage being stinky, and Shake and Meatwad begin believing that Meatwad can predict the future. Shake makes Meatwad give him the winning lottery numbers only to pick different numbers because Frylock thinks it is a sham. Meatwad's numbers turn out to be correct. Shake brings Meatwad to Carl so that he can predict Carl's future, but when Meatwad is unable to see anything, Shake makes up a prediction that Carl's property rests over a large oil deposit. It turns out Meatwad's premonitions actually derive from consuming Frylock's caulk. Meanwhile, Carl drills for oil but hits his septic tank.
  • 28. Super Trivia (September 21 2003): Frylock, along with Shake, Meatwad, and a very reluctant Carl, try to defeat Wayne "The Main Brain" McClane at a game of bar trivia. Seth MacFarlane plays Wayne.
  • 29. Universal Remonster (September 28 2003): Emory and Oglethorpe travel across space and time through the "Fargate" (which is actually a copy of the Stargate) to steal the Aqua Teens' cable. In order to control which channel they watch, they use the Universal Remonster, a small robot made of several remote controls that accidentally wanders through the Fargate and ends up in the hands of the Aqua Teens. As Shake comes up with creative ways to abuse the Universal Remonster's powers (many of which revolve around terrorizing Meatwad), Frylock sets out to do a little investigating. He discovers the Fargate, and catches the cable-thieving Plutonians in the act. It turns out that they're completely high. Unsurprisingly, Emory and Oglethorpe behave exactly the same as when they're not on drugs.
  • 30. Total Re-Carl (October 5 2003): Carl's body is destroyed when he field-tests Frylock's experimental environmentally safe toilet, and only his head remains. The Aqua Teens attempt to acquire and construct new bodies to resurrect their fallen neighbor.
  • 31. Revenge of the Trees (October 12 2003): Shake attempts to flash-fry an entire cow and dumps the oil into a forest. It turns out that the trees are sentient, and they capture Carl and use his skin as paper. Shake is put to trial with Frylock as a lawyer, but they end up burning the forest down.
  • 32. Spirit Journey Formation Anniversary (October 19 2003): It's Meatwad's birthday! Shake can't stand "Happy Birthday", so he has a new heavy-metal song commissioned... then he has to figure out how to pay for it. Zakk Wylde guest-stars.
  • 33. The Shaving (October 26 2003): It's Halloween and the Aqua Teen Hunger Force discovers a "monster" in their attic: A giant onion-like spider named Willie Nelson who shaves every two days. Shake makes fun of him, then tries to toughen him up to scare people, but the best Willie can muster is holding his electric razor and repeating "The shaving!" over and over. Shake connects a huge generator to Carl's doorknob to "scare" him by killing him, but he accidentally electrocutes himself. In the end, they all go to see Willie in the attic and find several dozen dead corpses. The Willie then helps itself to Carl's "juice" (blood).
  • 34. The Broodwich (November 2 2003): Shake discovers an underground cavern where the Broodwich, a cursed sandwich, rests. Every bite sends him to a hellish place for a few seconds, and anyone who eats the whole thing is trapped there for all time. By taking out the sun-dried tomatoes, he avoids being sent to hell forever. However, the devil who has been speaking to them gives Shake "free brain surgery" for fighting off "the last temptation of the Broodwich", after which he makes Shake eat the tomatoes, thus condemning him to hell forever. (The tomatoes appear later in episode 42, "The Last One".)
  • 35. Kidney Car (November 16 2003): Master Shake destroys Carl's car in a demolition derby. Meatwad gets the car as a donation, and fights with Shake over who will get to use it. Frylock's attempt to help his housemates try and restore the utterly demolished car to some level of drivability is quickly thwarted by Meatwad's stupidity and Shake's incessant goofing off. Fed up with the entire mess, Frylock leaves Meatwad and Shake to take care of it themselves, which proves to be a bad idea when it ultimately leads to Shake ordering a massive jet engine to sit on top of the car. He fails to notice that it's facing the wrong direction, and when he fires it up, Carl's rental hatchback is sucked into the intake and shredded to bits. Carl immediately confronts Shake, whose oblivious indifference to the fact that he's now destroyed Carl's car not once but twice causes Carl's head to explode. "Why'd he do that?" asks Meatwad, puzzled. "Why wouldn't he?" replies Shake.
  • 36. The Cubing (November 23 2003): The "wisdom cube", a cube from outer space, comes to the Aqua Teens' yard. It claims to have all of the wisdom in the universe, but it does little to reinforce its claim. Instead, it spends its time telling boring stories and making lame phone gags while ruining good ones (e.g., golf courses do not have ten-pound balls).
  • 37. Frat Aliens (November 30 2003): DP and Skeeter, two aliens from a stereotypical fraternity land in the Aqua Teens' backyard, and prove to be nuisances. DP has a fixation on his father owning a dealership.
  • 38. The Clowning (December 7 2003): Carl gets a wig containing alien DNA that turns him into a clown.
  • 39. The Dressing (December 14 2003): The Cybernetic Ghost of Christmas Past from the Future returns as Turkitron, a robotic turkey to save 'Goblox', the future leader of the turkey rebellion against the Master Chickens.
  • 40. The The (December 21 2003): Also listed as THE. Shake and Meatwad start hoarding piles of chicken carcasses and burning plastic for heat. Frylock moves out. Everyone else, including Carl, goes blind from conjunctivitis, which Meatwad proclaims with "I got me a chicken infection."
  • 41. The Cloning (December 31 2003): Due to excess cloning, the Aqua Teens' new TV is evil and depicts images of Frylock killing Shake, Meatwad, and Carl. Shake then proceeds to attempt to clone one-dollar bills.
  • 42. The Last (Expletive Deleted) One of 2003, or simply The Last One (December 31 2003): On the moon, the Mooninites attempt to assemble a league of characters from previous episodes to exact revenge on the Aqua Teen Hunger Force. Most of the gathered characters seem to have little or no clue why they've been summoned, and the Mooninites themselves appear to be the only ones with any real interest in, as Ignignokt puts it, "The bruising of the Aqua Teens' asses." The Aqua Teens do not appear until the very end of the episode. This is the first time the standard opening sequence is not used.

Season three

  • 43. Video Ouija (April 25 2004): Shake attempts to commit suicide to haunt Meatwad through a video game entitled Video Ouija. A witch doctor named Billywitchdoctor.com is hired to bring Shake back to life, but he turns out he can only revive chickens.
  • 44. Unremarkable Voyage (May 9 2004): Frylock invents a gun that allows him to shrink or enlarge any object he fires at. He uses it to build a huge computer chip then shrink it. However, Meatwad eats it, and Frylock must recover it from inside.This episode also reveals Carl has crabs, when he enlarges his penis.
  • 45. Remooned (August 15 2004): Ignignokt and Err travel to Earth to cash a check, and they coerce Master Shake and Meatwad to assist them. This episode also reveals the spelling of Carl's last name, which is Brutananadilewski according to his ID. The check turns out to be a bill.
  • 46. Gee Whiz (August 22 2004): A billboard with the face of a famous religious icon seems to have given Meatwad the gift of child. Special Guests: Ted Nugent, George Lowe
  • 47. eDork (August 29 2004): Shake's eHelmet is loaded with superfluous gadgets, but somehow an add-on player piano isn't enough to satisfy his lust for convenience.
  • 48. Little Brittle (September 5 2004): MC Pee Pants returns from hell as an elderly rapping phenomenon. This time, he wants vampires to bite him so he'll become one. According to Adult Swim, this episode was his final one.
  • 49. Robositter (September 12 2004): After Meatwad gets into the medicine cabinet while under Carl's supervision, Frylock creates a robotic babysitter, voiced by Sarah Silverman, to take care of him.
  • 50. Moon Master (September 19 2004): The Mooninites distribute a deceptively easy video game in an attempt to start a pyramid scheme.

  • 52. Dusty Gozongas (October 3 2004): The hottest stripper at the Wild Wild Chest creates tension between Shake and Carl. Although credited as Veronica Billingsley, Dusty Gozongas is clearly voiced by Scott Thompson of Kids in the Hall fame.
  • 53. T-Shirt of the Living Dead (October 10 2004): An ancient Egyptian t-shirt gives Meatwad unfathomable powers. Special guest appearance by Santa Claus.
  • 54. Hypno-Germ (October 17 2004): When Hypno-Germs invade Shake's brain, they put on a theatrical disaster inside his head.
