Dancing Is Forbidden: An Aqua Teen Hunger Force Exploration

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 bestiality on a children's network.

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.

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.

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 needed it. Maybe. Other topics discussed include FRIENDS ripping off Aqua Teen, Video Ouija vs Insult Master, and when buying stuff online used to be a big deal.

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 to bring Shake back from the dead, but Billy is more interested in making the guys say funny thing. ARISE! Other topics discussed include Popeye on Adult Swim, Ouija boards being dumb, and Janet Jackson's 2004 Superball performance.

Talkin' all about Season 2, from the biggest bits of pop culture from the time, to my favorite episodes + villains of the season, to its impact on Aqua Teen as a whole!

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 Sunday may not be a force to be reckoned with, but they sure are fun to watch. Other topics discussed include honeymoons in Belize, Todd Barry's tomato aversion, and killer nipples.

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 Pastacolypse, the power of Tubi, Metalocalypse, learning guitar on a crappy acoustic, and buying a $5,000 Mesa Boogie amp head and cabinet combo with your boss's credit card.

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 deserves!
