Dancing Is Forbidden: An Aqua Teen Hunger Force Exploration

Imagine buying a home security system so incredible that it causes aliens to crash land in front of your house. How would you feel? Shocked? Excited? Annoyed? If you choose the last option, you might be Carl. In this episode of Aqua Teen, Carl accidentally summons two incredibly annoying frat bros to Earth, where they inflict a short-lived reign of unwanted sexual advances, vomit, and family braggery. Frylock builds a rocketship, Meatwad defends his sexuality, and Shake watches The Jeffersons in this episode that kicks off the Volume 3 DVD. Ronnie also gets into some ideas ditched from the original script, where "My Dad Owns a Dealership" comes from, and how "Frat Aliens" compares to "The Cubing". Other topics discussed include MySpace's failed server migration, Patton Oswalt's career, and why we use "lbs" for pounds.

We've all met someone like the Wisdom Cube. A guy who just won't. shut. up. He jabbers on about the dumbest stuff you could never care about. Also, he's kind of a douche. Well, in this episode, we get to see the Aqua Teens deal with this paragon of vexation. Witnessing a barrage of "pranks", the Aqua Teens individually get sick of the Wisdom Cube, who turns out to not even be the Wisdom Cube. Jon Schnepp and Brian Posehn bring this "slice-of-life" episode to fruition, all while Carl applies for a restraining order. Other topics discussed include The Radio Dept., Mike Myers allegedly being a diva, and the mystery of Atlanta college band "The Mooninites".

In lieu of a normal episode, this week we listen in while Rob and Joe of Booyah 90's Now react to Ronnie's story about nostalgia, holography, and impulse purchases. 

Who needs a kidney when you can have a new car? In this slice-of-life episode, the boys attempt to fix up The Hotwad, but it doesn't go to plan... mostly for Carl. One of the very last TV-PG episodes of Aqua Teen, Ronnie gushes about his all-time favorite ATHF episode. Other topics discussed include Will Ferrell maybe kind of almost being in the 2007 ATHF film, egregious auto repair bills, and the continuing mystery of Judith Dray.

Are you looking to make a quick buck? Can you rap? Are you especially skilled in not developing relationships with the elderly? Then MC P Pants University is for you! Back in his original spider form, MC Pee Pants is here to teach you the ways of the stealth reverse mortgage. Besides covering this, we go through some of the stock footage used in the episode, how the economics of the production lends to the episode, and discuss how this short turns the classic MC Pee Pants formula on its head.

Imagine the best sandwich you've ever had. Like, ever. Now imagine if you ate it all, you'd die. Would you be able to resist? Master Shake wasn't. In this dread-filled episode, the William's Street crew pushes Aqua Teen to the limit-- to great success. Filled with collectibles, Don Hertzfeldt homages, disembodied voices (Isaac Hayes III), relationship quarrels (H. Jon Benjamin and Jon Glaser), Vogue magazine subscriptions, and the worst day of Meatwad's life, this episode has it all. Other topics discussed include A Perfect Circle, Call of Duty, Arrested Development, and using sundried tomatoes to kill someone.

Due to the unexpected passing of my mother and my wedding/Honeymoon in less than two weeks, I won't have enough time to get any episodes finished for a while. I'll be back in full (aqua teen hunger) force on July 11th. Take care. 

If you had a monster in the attic, how would you react? Would you kill it? Would you force it to leave? Or would you take pity on its lameness, helping it become a monster of legendary proportions? If you chose the third option, you might be Master Shake. In this "Bus-of-the-Undead-done-right" episode, Willie Nelson-- not THAT Willie Nelson-- (played by Tom Scharpling) turns out to be much more horrifying than Shake could ever hope. Frylock dresses up as a haunted sailor for Halloween. Meatwad and Carl hang out and get up to some trickery. Shake gets electrocuted. Willie Nelson drinks some juice. Other topics discussed include nostalgic Tycoon games, Ludacris' aggressive advances, and Adult Swim programming errors.

Did the pandemic force you into a new job sector? It did for Carl. In this companion episode to The Broodwich (which we will cover soon!), AquaDonk expands the... Aquaverse(?), not only giving us a peek into Carl's life in 2022, but for the first time shows us interaction between Carl and the Broodwich/wrap. Ronnie gushes about how this short met all his AquaDonk hopes and dreams, and lists off a hundred other podcasts (and then will wonder next week why nobody listens to his podcast anymore). We also get some exclusive information from AquaInsiders Dana Snyder and Nick Gibbons!
