Aqua Teen Hunger Force


Aqua Teen Hunger Force

Original Air Date: 2000-Present
Network: Cartoon Network
We could watch Aqua Teen Hunger Force forever. It wasn't as much of a completely out-and-out crazy woo-woo show as Sealab 2021 since Aqua Teen made attempts to have plots every so often and had more discernable characters, but what it lacked in randomness it made up for in joyful gore and engrossing cruelty. Master Shake, with his lovably shrill voice provided by Dana Snyder, has to be one of the funniest, dimwitted a-holes ever created. Just watching him float about in a frenzy of selfish madness almost made life worth living. And let's not forget the neighbor Carl, gruffly voiced by co-director Matt Willis. The poor Foreigner-loving slob lived next door to three giant pieces of fast food and routinely found himself getting mutilated. There was an attempt, right at the beginning of the series, to have Meatwad, Frylock and Master Shake act as crime-solving private detectives, but that got scrapped pretty quickly. In fact, you can almost physically feel the moment when the last strand of sanity snapped and they decided to just let the whole show fly into beautiful oblivion.
