Dancing Is Forbidden: An Aqua Teen Hunger Force Exploration

Meatwad's a workin' man in this episode... and work sucks. Well, like, it's not the job itself, ya know, but really the bosses. He doesn't mind dancing on the side of the road, it's the whole "remove your friend's brain" thing that makes him wanna quit. We've all been there. It's the final episode of Season 4 and we're getting our car(l)s washed with all sorts of ATHF factoids! Bob Pettitt gives us the full-res vending machines so ...

If you found out you suddenly had a son, how would you handle the situation? If you answered "force him to become the best athlete of all time or else kill myself," you're clearly in the Master Shake school of thought. In this iconic Aqua Teen episode Patton Oswalt returns as yet another memorable character, proving age has nothing to do with innocence. We dive into Carl's shiny new black shotgun, Shake's actually correct baby hand...

Would you put a giant tower over your house for 40 yorlocks? Cuz Carl sure did. In a return to the classic Aqua Teen formula, Frylock is solving the case of the menacing antenna... sort of. Kinda. Not really. We're diving into George Lowe's glorious 2 minutes in this episode, gushing over Mike Judge, and marvelling at the framing device on this episode. Other topics discussed include projection TVs, Jay-Z's short lived retirement, ...

Huddle up, running crew! We’re going long and deep into the end zone this week with a full-on blitz about Bart Oates, the gridiron great… and the Aqua Teen episode, too! Dave Willis, Bob Pettitt, and Jay Wade Edwards are bringing their A-game (via e-mail) to the podcast, tackling this story-heavy episode of ATHF like a quarterback sack.

We’re going to break down the play-by-play of the working title of this episode, an audible that...

Open your lungs and inhale the most premium moonajuana money can buy... from the dump. It was free, but you can't put a price tag on the unbeatable high you will attain. Better yet, while you're floating away on a consciousness of bliss, 2D aliens from space will rid you of your worldly possessions. You just can't beat that convenience. We're diving into Moonajuana, the last proper Mooninites episode. Is this yet another successful...

Dan at Grim Reaper Gutters won't leave until he makes a sale... just like I can't leave til I tell you all about this episode. The ATHF clip-show parody turned dadaist nonsense, this is a supremely unique episode. Meatwad and Shake reminisce... Frylock made a movie... Tera Patrick enjoys hanging out with the Aqua Teens... and Carl dies but I mean, that always happens. Are you surprised? We're also critiquing Frylock's film to see h...

There's only one way to combat global warming... eating your boogers. If you ain't eatin' them sticky things, don't dare listen to this podcast. Today we're covering the VFX overloaded Global Grilling, getting tons of great behind-the-scenes info from ATHF animators Joshua Mullinax and Nathan Churney! We're also getting spoiled by art director Bob Pettitt with a belated XXXmas gift-- the asset list provided to Bob back in 2006 deta...

If you don't know who Carey Means is, you're listening to the wrong podcast! We're joined by none other than Frylock's voice actor-- Aqua Teen's voice of reason as well as leading man of Aqua Teen Forever Plantasm. Carey regales us with one great story after another, including why Aqua Teen has endured for over 20 years, working conventions as a voice actor, and what it was like playing Thundercleese on Brak Show. Other topics disc...

Nathan Churney and Joshua Mullinax know how to get the Aqua Teens moving like none other... literally! Today we're joined by these critical ATHF animators who sacrificed everything (and then some!) to create the brilliant show we love today. Well maybe not everything, but they definitely worked their asses off, ya dig? Having touched damn near every bit of ATHF content from S02E01's Super Birthday Snake all the way thru S12E05's An...

It's time to party party party while we talk about Aqua Teen's most depressing episode! Our heartstrings are thoroughly shredded while Frylock and co grapple with his newfound illness... yeah Shake dies like three times in the episode but that's besides the point. We're getting into Dave Willis' biggest regret on this episode, behind the scenes info on Matt Maiellaro's live action performance, going over Aqua Teen's rich history wi...

Shaketopia & A Quiet Shake are here and Ronnie and Tommy Cruise are talking about 'em!

Everything is not as it seems in this Aqua Donk... except for what Handbanana does to Carl, that is very real. Carl takes 16 years to refine his plan of attack while also successfully pulling off the acting role of a life time. We don't often see Carl win, but when he does, you'll be screaming for vengeance!

Tonight, you... will learn all about Handbanana in this week's podcast! Or whenever you get around to listening to this, it doesn't really have to tonight I guess... Anyways, when you decide to listen to this (it's up to you!), you'll be stoked to know that we're joined by ATHF co-creators Matt Maiellaro and Dave Willis, getting their takes on this iconic episode. While Handbanana is (rightfully so) a controversial episode, that do...

Dickesode is a first for Aqua Teen in many ways, and I'm not dicking you around. The show's first episode of 2006, ATHF co-creators Matt Maiellaro and Dave Willis are back in full swing trying to give Adult Swim's Standards and Practices department a stroke. We get some help from Matt and Dave, Dickesode's editor Jay Edwards, and dick drawing connoisseur Bob Pettitt as we deep dive into this infamous episode of Aqua Teen Hunger For...

While Our Host Ned Hastings wasn't real in Super Trivia, he's real as hell in person. A foundational member of the Aqua Teen crew, Ned entered the Adult Swim world with Space Ghost Coast to Coast in 1999. After working on some of the show's best episodes, Ned contributed to a very early iteration of the Rabbot episode as an ATHF proof-of-concept. From there, he went on to shape the series with crucial input on Mayhem of the Moonini...

If you aren't hyped for Untitled Master Shake Project, then you a damn fool. Except not really cuz that's not a real movie. In Deleted Scenes, the ATHF crew re-purpose deleted scenes (and plot points) from the at-the-time unfinished Colon Movie For Theaters... except they do it in pure ATHF fashion; Shake and Meatwad don't really address the clips they are showing us, instead goofing off. Carl, however, makes Shake pay the ultimate...
