Do you enjoy the way Aqua Teen feels on your eyeballs? Yeah? That sounds like you, dirty boy. Well, you've got Bob Pettitt to thank for that. And thank him you shall! If you've listened to this podcast for more than 10 seconds, you'll be familiar with Bob's name and work-- the show's art director, he is most known for his background and props. Despite our familiarity with Bob's work, we didn't really know who he was... until now! We learn all about Bob's early career, the decisions he made regar...

Please come visit me, dawg... but only if you're a vampire. In the third MC Pee Pants installment, our favorite shower-cap wearing, yellow eyed, diaper sporting rapper returns as a dying old man. In his lust for eternal life, he ends up... well, dying sooner. We dig into Dave Willis's thoughts on this episode, how it compares to the previous MC Pee Pants features, and Meatwad's finger on the musical pulse. Other topics discussed include using a video game to win a real professional sporting even...

Shake and Carl don the badge... for 15 minutes. Their first day on the job and they already let someone destroy the mall. Oh well! Cybernetic Ghost of Christmas Past from the Future is back defending the earth against the evil Breakie B (aka Model X100) and the Quickening of the Dragonoids. We talk about the beautiful pacing of this episode, Ben Prisks's awesome drawings, and the bombshell Aqua Teen moment this episode reveals, 20 years in the making. Other topics discussed include metal detecto...

The script that permanently changed the landscape of adult animation.... and classic rock. Baffler Meal was written in 1999, and after many rewrites, was shelved. Three years later, Matt and Dave dusted off the script for the 2003 NYE block. We dive all into the history of the episode, the legacy of the episode, and of course, the episode itself. We also hear some unaired interview clips from Jay, Matt, and Dave. So grab a kid's Baffler Meal combo and put on your Willie Nelson, cuz it's getting ...

How far would you go to be on the cutting edge of technology? For Master Shake, he'd rather be dead than not in the eHelmet ecosystem... and luckily for him, he does end up dead. Carl gets addicted to VR human-animal relations. Meatwad wipes a boogie. Frylock listens to Mozart. We dive all into eDork and how the ATHF team masterfully creates a compelling episode despite its extremely limited mobility. Other topics discussed include iPod song capacities, VR accessories, and how to convey bestiali...

PRAISE HIM, for he is carrying the messiah! Well, messiahs... with eight legs. This episode of Aqua Teen takes on two real life targets: billboard-induced religious fervor, and standards and practices. Meatwad gets pregnant. Frylock pirates software. Shake convinces a man to kill himself. Carl gets shot by poopy boy Ted Nugent. George Lowe teaches us how to appropriately blow a nun's head off. Other topics discussed include wrapping presents, Ashlee Simpson dancing on SNL, and spaghetti Jesus. R...

The Mooninites are back! Their first dedicated episode in two years, Ignignokt and Err enlist the Aqua Teens to help them cash a check.... but it's actually a bill. A radioactive bill. Oops! Uncle Cliff gets killed. Carl gets shaved. Frylock gets fed up. We talk about the Mooninites working with the Aqua Teens, the possible confusion around Spacecataz, and Meatwad with a mustache. Other topics discussed include greasy fingers, Nintendo Wii, and angry customers. References: • Adult Swim Orders Ne...

What would you do with a shrink (and also growth) ray? Would you increase food sizes to feed the poor? Would you use it to advance humanity's technological achievements? Or would you make your johnson bigger? If you chose the latter, I've got the episode for you. Meatwad thinks all chips are for eating, but he doesn't poop. Shake throws up on his own face and becomes a malevolent ruler. Frylock creates yet another amazing invention, just to destroy it. Carl gets a bigger johnson.... not like he ...

If you could talk to the dead, what would you want to talk about? If your answer is "someone's sister's baby", then I've got the game for you-- VIDEO OUIJA! Meatwad's obsession with this game gives Shake an idea: to insert himself into the game, and ruin the experience for Meatwad. While he is successful in becoming a ghost and entering the Video Ouija, his plan didn't account for one thing: Meatwad having a short attention span and moving on to a new game. Frylock recruits BillyWitchDoctor.com ...

How many villains does it take to defeat the Aqua Teens? Unfortunately, this episode doesn't get to the bottom of this... but it DOES rock you like a hurricane! The Last One closes out ATHF's historic 2003 run on the highest note possible, featuring an assload of our favorite villains. From Episode 1's Rabbot to late Season 2's Bingo, this group of classic television villains are tricked by the Mooninites to attend the convention of a lifetime. Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday S...

International cool guy Matt Maiellaro ( Aqua Teen co-creator, co-writer, voice of Err/Markula/Cybernetic Ghost of Christmas Past from the Future) shreds the podcast with his amazing voice. We get into who Matt and Dave Willis initially wanted on Plantasm , the long-promised Death Fighter , Space Ghost showing up in the original Rabbot episode, and the exciting future of Aqua Teen Hunger Force . Other topics discussed include Matt's time playing with blood on Hellraiser III , his upcoming film Pa...

The incredible Adult Swim mashup you probably didn't know existed. On New Years Eve 2003, Adult Swim aired a "buttload" of bumps between all their new episodes that night. These bumps had the Brak family hosting a New Years Eve party, with the sexiest of Williams Street guests. We see Carl hit on Sealab 2021's Debbie, Meatwad throw up with Brak, Frylock meet an old invention, and Shake pee in a bag. This thing is criminally underrated, and I'm so glad we are able to give it the attention it dese...

The galaxy's favorite fraternity brothers return! After 20 years, AquaDonk gives us a look into Hell Week-- Upsilon Phi Omicron's hazing ritual. Skeeter and DP attempt to supervise their pledges, but end up enduring much more.

The always regal Dave Willis ( Aqua Teen co-creator, co-writer, voice of Meatwad/Carl/Ignignokt) graces the podcast, answering all my burning questions. We dive into Plantasm inspirations, the inner-workings of AquaDonk Side Pieces , Dave's writing partners (Matt Maiellaro on ATHF / Jim Fortier on Squidbillies / Casper Kelly on Your Pretty Face Is Going To Hell ), and we even get Carl's thoughts on Foreigner's upcoming farewell tour. Other topics discussed include Dave's favorite Rush album, Dav...

Money can tear people apart.... alongside defectively cloned television sets. These two evils almost cause the demise of the Aqua Teens, until they unite to face a greater evil: someone telling them what to do. In one of the most ambitious episodes of ATHF yet, we learn where new TVs keep spawning from, what Frylock does when nobody is policing him, and what Meatwad's grandmother gave him before she died. We also learn about how this episode was written! Other topics discussed include Sonic Hero...

How big of an Aqua Teen fan are you? Are you such a big fan that you learned how to 3D model, program games, write dialog, and compose music? If you said yes, then I'm 99% sure you are this week's guest, Kirksplosion. Kirk spent three years writing a digital love letter to Aqua Teen in the form of "Aqua Teen Hunger Force: The (very unofficial) Game." The best part of this is that the game absolutely rules. If you have Playstation 4/5 and Dreams, you can play it for FREE. If you don't have Dreams...

Have you ever wanted to play a game AS the Mooninites? Big mistake, buster. Samuel of the Cosmos (Nick Gibbons) gets to play such a game, and it sucks ass. We dive into the fourth AquaDonk Side Piece and talk about video game let downs, alternate options for how this short could have played out, and this short's relation to Plantasm. • Moon Master 9: Beware the Gorgotron: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DEyWevgrt94 • Final Deployment 4: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AKjmDPGJI-4 • ThundaClap!: ...

Nick Gibbons (ATHF, YPF, As Seen On Adult Swim) is fun to talk to. How fun, you stupidly ask? Well, I only intended to chat with him for 30 minutes as an addendum to my coverage of " Moon Master 9: Beware The Gorgotron "-- but the conversation easily went on longer and became its own episode. Playing Samuel of the Cosmos, as well as editing on/producing the AduaDonk Side Piece, Nick has also spoofed streamers in his other work. We dive into his time on the short/AquaDonk Side Pieces, touch on Ni...

Want to know the quickest way to get your roommate to move out? Easy! Just emulate Mr David Lynch I'm On TV. In this episode of Aqua Teen, Frylock moves out, Shake keeps on doing whatever he wants, and Meatwad suffers. Plus, Carl falls out of an ambulance. We also see Frylock get rejected by Ned Hastings and Jay Wade Edwards. Beyond all of this, The demonstrates why Aqua Teen-- both the TV show and the group-- needs Frylock. Other topics discussed include pink eye, Dr Weird's possible Danzig fan...

Jay Wade Edwards is an Aqua Teen heavy-hitter. Not only was Jay a producer, editor, and voice actor on the show, but he is responsible for many of the in-universe TV shows the Aqua Teens watch, as well as for the special features on the DVDs. Jay still pops in to work on Aqua Teen, such as on the 2021 HBO Max promos, some of the 2022 AquaDonk Side Pieces , and he had a hand in the much anticipated 2022 film Plantasm . Beyond this, Jay has worked for Disney ( Gravity Falls , Wander Over Yonder ),...

It's been six months, but we're bustin' out Jiggle Billy and getting our dance on. We weave thru all sorts of Aqua Teen topics-- from the Dressing answers Barry Mills gave, to the Baffler Meal Box Set, to music and video game mods inspired by ATHF. We wrap up with Ronnie blabberin' about TLC reality shows, the upcoming Smashing Pumpkins record, and how his favorite game is going away.

If your weird neighbors invited you to Thanksgiving dinner (in December), would you go? No? Well what if the food smells good, does that change your mind? It does? BIG MISTAKE, BUSTER! Because a giant metal turkey from the future (but not really) is gonna mess your day up. SUCKS TO SUCK! In this seasonal return of Cybernetic Ghost of Christmas Past from the Future (sort of?), the Teens are celebrating Thanksgiving, despite what was done to the Martians. We dive into why this episode is called "T...

Would you sacrifice your entire identity as a human being for a brief moment of beauty? Carl did, and he paid the ultimate price: he became a clown. In this episode of Aqua Teen, Meatwad's desire for a new termite pet destroys Carl's house and creates easy viewing for the gang to watch Carl get it on. Hayden Ward shows up in this episode voicing the first (English speaking) female character in the show-- however, Hayden has done MUCH MORE for Aqua Teen than this role. Without her the show wouldn...
