"Fart you, butthole."
Over it's nearly 25 year run, Aqua Teen Hunger Force has more than proven that it's just as capable of being absurdly awesome as it is absurdly funny. open/close all folders
Master Shake
- Anytime Shake shows he actually has standards arguably counts, considering he's usually depicted as an utter bastard.
- One of the earliest examples is him calling out Frylock for killing MC Pee Pants on hypocritical grounds, then trying to justify it.
"Frylock": Look, he was never gonna make it in the outside world. He was brutally insane! Besides, he was an eight foot spider wearing a diaper!Shake: Who am I talking to? Because I don't know you.- Him point blank telling the hippie in Skins that what he's doing is wrong is probably one of the most notable examples in the entire series, bar none. The fact that he actually tries to stop him (in his own weird way, of course) from further taking advantage of the Wabosabis' plight is incredibly heroic for someone like Shake.
- Shake giving Allen A Taste of Their Own Medicine by killing him with lightning at the end of Allen, Part Two. Considering what Allen did prior to his death, it's a well-deserved comeuppance; on top of that, it's one of the few examples of Shake actually being a hero to some degree.
- This exchange is also noteworthy, given that it's Shake we're talking here:Allen: I talk a lot, I mean my dad says that. I wish he didn't exist!
Shake: Don't you EVER say that about your father! Do you know how much he sacrifices for you?!
- This exchange is also noteworthy, given that it's Shake we're talking here:
- Shake's last words in the Grand Finale. Not to mention how he sacrificed himself to save Meatwad from the man-eating clams.Master Shake: AQUA TEEN HUNGER FORCE FOREVER!
- In "Lasagna" Shake manages to continuously taunt Carl (who is under house arrest) with four-cheese lasagna and placing it just outside his house (if he leaves his house he'll get electrocuted!). He also gets away with killing Carl.
- In "Love Mummy" the Aqua Teens find a mummy in their basement, who then manipulates Frylock and Meatwad with the threat of a curse to cater to it, however when the mummy comes face to face with Shake, he takes none of it, tells the mummy off, and when the mummy threatens him with his curse, Shake still doesn't care and ends with telling the mummy it better be out the house by tomorrow morning. Made even better when Shake isn't cursed at all by the end of the episode.
- Shake gets one when he steals Frylock's jewel and uses to fly away while causing several explosions in "Hoppy Bunny".
- In "Intervention", Shake is accidentally SLICED UP INTO SEVERAL SMALL CUBES and not only did Shake survive the whole thing, but he remained completely nonchalant about it.
Frylock
- Frylock promises never to move back in with Shake and Meatwad, no matter how crappy his new life maybe in The.; that's the actual Title. Thanks to Negative Continuity, he has to go back on his word, but it was still awesome.
- Frylock responds to the Robositter disobeying him by killing her with a juicer."You're liquefied, bitch!"
- In "The Marines", Frylock foils the Jigsaw parody's plans by untying a twistee-tie.
- In "Der Inflatable Fuhrer", he does battle with numerous Nazi balloons, leaping about and popping them with a sharpened fry.
- In "Chicken and Beans", Meatwad's ego inflates after a video of him vomiting during his performance of the eponymous song goes viral thanks to Shake. After Meatwad's breakdown on stage, Frylock confronts him and grounds him. The awesomeness shows when Frylock smiles after telling Meatwad that he's grounded.
- Frylock blowing up the bus in "Party Bus":Frylock: RIDE THE BUS TO BUS HELL, YOU BUS!"
- Frylock vs. Dr. Weird in The Movie. Not to mention the fact the ATHF and Dr. Weird are in the same scenes together.
Meatwad
- Frylock gives Meatwad one in "Bible Fruit", wherein Meatwad and Frylock resolve to blowing up their house to get away from some born-again anthropomorphic fruit who fell off the wagon. But Shake is still inside...Meatwad: (sitting in a tire) Alright, what am I doing?
Frylock: Are you grounded?
Meatwad: Yeah, I think so...
Frylock: Alright. (hands Meatwad two lengths of wire) Now touch the red wire to the green wire.
Meatwad: But what about Shake?
Frylock: What about him?
(Beat)
Meatwad: Heh, that's what I say, yo. Ba-ba-BOOM!
BOOM! - "Pregnant" Meatwad from the episode "Gee Whiz", in which he goes on a tirade aimed at Frylock and Master Shake that gets increasingly loud and increasingly foul-mouthed, leaving them absolutely speechless.
- "How hard can it mother-f***ing be?! Ice mother-f***ing-cream! I guess that's the price I pay for living with two f***ing morons!"
- The icing on the cake being that every obscenity was bleeped with non-standard sound effects and a big red "X" appearing on-screen each time.
- Meatwad transforming into a hurricane in "Rabbot Redux".
- Meatwad gets an awesome one in Season 12's "Shaketopia" where when fighting in a virtual reality with Shake, he turns into Wesley Snipes from Blade and holds the narcissist Shake up at sword point. Actually making Shake consider sharing for a change rather than be a dick.
Carl
- Carl gets one in "Deleted Scenes", where after getting a broom shoved up his ass, finally The Dog Bites Back and he rolls up to Shake's little behind the scenes venueShake: Ah! Carl! So you found a little prop gun there for yourself!Carl: Nah, nah, nah; it's not, uh, it's not a prop gun, it's a SHOT GUN. They use it for, um...for DEATH.Meatwad: Do we have any more time, then?Carl: ...Well, YOU do.Meatwad: Because I wanna roll..."Meatwad's Sensation Celebration...Disco P-Party-Time".Shake: (Nervously) Hey, Carl!Carl: (Sticks him up) Alright, knucklehead. Why don't we roll that clip again? I want you to show me the moment I get pissed off at you.
- Carl using his nunchucks in "Merlo Sauvignon Blanco".
- Carl gets one at the end of "Robots Everywhere" when he plays "count the bullets" with the robots.
- Carl using the Foreigner Belt on the Mooninites: "I don't need no instructions to KNOW HOW TO ROCK!
" - Carl taking out Marcula in Couples Skate with the garlic champagne.
- In "Muscles", Carl has his house broken in and many of his possessions destroyed by Master Shake's sentient muscles, who demands that Carl gives him more muscle drinks. When Muscles is eventually given a can of "Blueberry Butt-Rape", Carl states, without breaking a sweat, that the drinks aren't free. Keep in mind, this is after Muscles had already broken much of his living room up and threatened him in the previous scene.Carl: Fourteen. American. Dollars. (Muscles gives him a Death Glare as Carl doesn't change his expression, only to suddenly look stern) Did I stutter?Muscles: Oh... shoot! I don't have fourteen dollars. (looks up to Shake) Um... do you have fourteen dollars?Master Shake: Don't look at me, I'm broke.
- In Handbanana's Demise, it looks like Carl is suffering from Stockholm Syndrome and acts in an Aren't You Going to Ravish Me? manner when Handbanana is seemingly showing a lack of interest in, but it turns out to be a ruse to trick HB into violating him, as he put a pint of Godzilla Glue into his underwear to trap HB, so he can drag HB off to the vet to be spayed, neutered, and possibly put to sleep.Carl: "Tonight, you." Ain't that what you said? Ain't that what you said to me!?!?"
- Okay, Carl's too much of a cheapskate to actually do it, so he settles for leaving Handbanana glued to his butt until HB dies of old age as he's 14 years old (that's like 80 in dog years as Carl puts it).
- In Get Lit Upon a Situpon Carl after falling for a prank from the Situpon, uses the bungee cords Frylock had used to strap him to the Situpon to viciously beat Shake after the latter realized it was a prank to begin with. It's an interesting case of the dog bites back from Carl.
Other Moments
- "Gentlemen...behold!" Cut to a stack of amplifiers, all hooked up to an electric guitar he's wearing. "ARE YOU READY TO ROCK?!"
- Major Shake, the titular Bad Replicant of his episode, gets one just for being so calm about his existence.
- The entirety of "Gee Whiz", a parody about American broadcast standards and practices. They couldn't let the characters get away with saying Jesus (hence referring to Jesus as "Gee Whiz") features a nun getting her head blown off with a rainbow coming out of her neck, and George Lowe's voiceover saying, "acceptable." Now that's just damn funny!
- Dr. Weird and Steve vs. phone solicitation. The episode opens up with a local contractor calling Dr. Weird's laboratory advertising home improvements. When it goes to voice mail, Dr. Weird orders Steve to "send the phone-spiders!". Steve drops a few into the line, which promptly attack the contractor.Dr. Weird: I guess we're not interested! Hahahahahah!
- "Last Dance For Napkin Lad." All of it. This was the last episode aired when the show was renamed Aqua Unit Patrol Squad 1, and the crew finally allowed the title to live up to its name.
- The first three minutes of the movie, consisting of a parody of the classic "Let's All Go To The Lobby" singing-food ads. It's filled with double entendres, gives way to single entendres, and is then rapidly hijacked by Mastodon.
