Aqua Teen Hunger Force #93: “A PE Christmas” | December 13, 2009 - 11:45PM | S08E01 regular series version aired March 15, 2010 @ 12:00AM

It’s the Aqua Teen Christmas episode, in which Shake and Meatwad steal Public Enemy’s identity and try to cut a rap record to sell on Christmas. It’s a pretty bad plan because they record it on Christmas eve and Shake sorta just believes the CD will appear in stores on Christmas day. The stores aren’t even open on Christmas day!! SHAKE COME ON! 

Mostly this one just consists of two scenes: one where the Aqua Teens attend Christmas mass and Shake acts childish. There’s a nice crowd scene filled with people from previous episodes, and for some reason the monsters are all sitting on the opposite side of the room. You hate to see a segregated church on Christmas. Then there’s the scene in the recording studio, with Shake and Meatwad coming up with bad ideas and recording them. The gag at the end of this, where Shake takes a big shit and it winds up on Meatwad’s track for Silent Night, is pretty low-brow, but it’s maybe the funniest thing in the episode. I don’t want to like it, I’m not about that life. 

This episode featured a bit of a twist where it turns out that Shake was filled with eels, hence his violent butthole outbursts. The original broadcast of this ended with Shake in jail, because he broke into a Better Buy store to see how his record was selling. He gets exploded to death after a bunch of eels burst out of him. When this episode aired as part of season seven, they added an ending that sorta explains that the Eels belonged to Chuck D (flagrantly misidentified as Flava Flav on the ATHF wiki). 

This one’s pretty lame, TBH. There were things in it I liked, but the best thing being a poo poo joke really should sum it all up. It also mildly perturbed me that this one airs between the live-action episode and the official season premiere “Rabbot Redux” which includes some continuity, so I numbered it according to the in-season air order. It also airs in some fucked up order on DVD! I don’t know why! I don’t know why they do that! 

Oh yeah I also liked the part where Shake rudely bangs on the glass in the recording studio. Pretty funny.

EPHEMERA CORNER: 

15th Annual Holiday Content Marathon (December 18, 2009)

An evening of Christmas specials. Also scheduled was “Gary’s Posse”, a promo that aired for a show that didn’t actually exist; in fact, I forgot all about this. Gary’s Posse was put on the schedule for AM this evening, but it was just a repeat of King of the Hill. Swimpedia (where I got this and nearly all of my scheduling information from) uncovered the fact that this is actually just stock footage from Julien Tromeur called "Afraid of your sexual fantasies." The promo advertising Gary’s Posse was just a gag.

Worth noting about THE VENTURE BROS S04E07 "THE BETTER MAN"... it features the use of the Dana Snyder character completely unironically going "sooo... that happened." Granted this was right before that became the exclusive domain of MCU-type dialogue, but it still hit my ear about as harshly as any Bush-era slur. Nasty!

OH YEAH! I think I made note of that but for some reason it didn't make my write-up. i couldn't tell if that was bad writing or if that was an intentional character thing, but usually characters call each other out for saying stuff like that. So, that happened.

[itzrainbowgenderfluidalex777]

I decided to make ATHF tickle headcanon because no one has made an ATHF tickle headcanon on Tumblr about three main characters and don't worry I would make another one about side characters/villians.

-Frylock

-Ler and always be tickLER unless tickle fights or Shake and Meatwad planning to tickle him.

-He is basically ticklish everywhere like a normal person.

-His DEATH SPOTS are FEET, ARMPITS, AND SIDES.

-He will mostly tease Meatwad like ribs counting, these little piggies, and itsy bitsy little spider.

-He will warn you or Shake or Meatwad to not tickle him or he's gonna get REVENGE on you. BE CAREFUL!!!

Master Shake

-Ler switch and sometimes Lee which that rarely.

He always tickle Meatwad for torture or just because funny and adorable that Meatwad is ticklish.

-He is ticklish on his armpits, upper body, and sides.

-His DEATH SPOTS is STRAW, FEET, AND BELLY

-He will hold his laughter and lies and said that he is not ticklish and gonna prove you wrong but that lies he tells ended up laughing and failed all time.

-When you tickle his pink straw he will burst into laughter and squirming and tell you to stop.

-In secret he kinda loves to get tickled but doesn't tell no one about it because he is too embarrassed.

-He is a very good tickLER and teases you like Frylock does but different about Shake is he used tickle tools.

Meatwad

-Always A LEE.

-He loved being tickled to death.

-His GIGGLES AND LAUGHTER IS SO ADORABLE AND CUTE LIKE A BABY AND SOUND LIKE A BABY TOO.

-He will beg you and ask anyone to tickle him and isn't shy to tell anyone.

-Whenever he plays a tickle fights with Shake or Frylock or anyone he loses on purpose so he gets all the tickles.

-He is irresistible and blushing to tickle games, tickle nicknames, teases, wiggly fingers, AND OF COURSE RASPBERRIES.

-He would lift some of his sweater up tease and show his little tummy to you.

-Also, he would take his shoes and socks off to show his feet and cute toes to you and tease you.

-He IS EXTREMELY TICKLISH EVERYWHERE I MEAN EXTREMELY TICKLISH EVERYWHERE ON HIS BODY.

-His DEATH SPOTS are BELLY BUTTON, TUMMY, FEET, AND TOES.

April’s Dream House

Back when Aqua Teen Hunger Force was on the air, I thought about how to create a sardonic animated comedy for adults that centered around female characters, possibly even having no male characters, the way that ATHF had no female characters. My high concept was a Barbie doll who has to open up her home to an assortment of other toys, where behind the scenes presumably a little girl with a very dark sense of humor was telling these stories.

Eventually I added male characters, and gave up on the dream of making it an animation, since I can’t draw and I don’t really have access to people who can who have time to do something like this. I still kind of hope to make it a comic book or something like that, though, because this would be funnier if it’s visual.

Anyway, I’ve decided to post what I have of the concept because I think it’s funny.

Cast:

April (April and Friends) (Based on Barbie)

Sheonte (Divazz) (based on Bratz)

Catrina (Weargirls) (Based on Monster High)

Kerry Kitty/Kelly Kitty (Japanese mascot character, Kerry/Kelly Kitty and Friends) (Based on Hello Kitty)

Cherry Blossom (Best Pony Friends) (Based on My Little Pony)

Doktor Zapp (Playstuf mad scientist lab set) (based on Playmobil)

Lovey (an elderly, non-franchised, stuffed puppy)

Emily Egg (Emily Egg, line of small baby dolls with furniture) (based on Penelope Peapod)

Chad (April and Friends) (Based on Ken from Barbie)

Steve (Real American Heroes) (based on GI Joe)

Meet April. One of America’s most beloved celebrities, April has been, over the course of her lengthy career, a nurse, a neurosurgeon, an astronaut, a firefighter, a rocket scientist, CEO of a company, owner of a restaurant, a police detective, a model, a rock star, and an actress. Also, a mother figure to her three younger sisters, Betty, Courtney and Madison. (One wonders where her mom is.) But the sad secret to April’s incredibly varied career is that she is too big of an asshole to keep a job. She’s incredibly smart, sarcastic, and cruel to anyone she thinks is intellectually or socially beneath her, which is everyone. She’s also addicted to uppers, and doesn’t sleep, like, ever.

Though she’s remarkably talented, her equal talent for pissing people off has gotten her blacklisted from several industries lately, and so, facing foreclosure on her magnificent Dream House mansion, April is forced to… ugh… take in housemates.  Thus, the plot of April’s Dream House begins with April reluctantly inviting others into her home to help her pay the mortgage.

Appearance: White, tall, long blonde hair, blue eyes. Wears a lot of classic fashion, rich white lady from old money type stuff. Also a lot of things like sparkling white tennis outfits and the like. Huge boobs, tiny waist.

Housemates at April’s Dream House include:

Sheonte: Part of the Divazz team of fashion designers, journalists and adventurers, but the Divazz have broken up recently, the result of internal lawsuits and sexual shenanigans involving each other’s husbands. The Divazz and April’s entourage considered each other top competitors ten years ago, to the point of being at “war”, so Sheonte and April kind of low-key hate each other, but Sheonte needs a place to live ever since she caught her husband Jax having sex with her best friend Vivi, attacked them both brutally with her shoes and then ran into the night screaming. Jax has chosen not to press charges but has a restraining order against Sheonte, so she’s sort of stuck looking for a place to live, and all her other friends have taken Vivi’s side.

Appearance: Black, shorter than April, has a big beautiful fro that she occasionally does up in dreads. Very urban style, hip-hop look, also wears shoes with absolutely ridiculous spiked heels. Does not have as exaggerated a figure as April. When she is first introduced, she has no feet, since she attacked her friend and her husband with her shoes and Divazz’s shoes are part of their feet, but she acquires a wide assortment of feet very quickly.

Catrina: The Weargirls were top fashion models who all happened to be animal shapeshifters. Catrina, to no one’s surprise, is a cat. She thinks she’s supposed to live up to this, frequently making cat puns and throwing random meows into her conversation. Catrina thinks she’s tough, but really isn’t. Tries to start shit with her housemates. April and Sheonte bond over how immature she is and how the Weargirls are total ripoffs of their own thing. Catrina decided to move in because none of the Weargirls have a dream house; the best they’ve got is Batrice’s creepy mansion (Batrice being a bat shapeshifter, and also a vampire. With vampire parents.)

Appearance: Long, straight black hair. Body and face design is “race-coded” to look Latina, but she has tabby markings on her skin and cat eyes and ears.

Kerry/Kelly Kitty: Kelly herself refers to herself as Kerry and Kelly interchangeably. Kerry is a Japanese mascot character who is a cat. She is a white cat with a smile who is often seen doing the maneki neko beckon thing with her paw; is only vaguely anthro in that she is bipedal and has a much bigger head in comparison to body than a cat (or than a human, or a human doll). Kelly is very amiable and friendly, but is tired of having her life micromanaged by her agents. She is a huge celebrity in Japan, but less well known in the US, and is thrilled that sometimes people don’t know who she is. Has a pet named Chibineko, which she freely admits is a ridiculous name (it means “little cat”; apparently her American agents stuck her with the name. She wanted to name it Unagi, because it squirms out of her vaguely anthro arms like a little eel.) Catrina often tries to pick fights with her because “catfight”, but Kerry just laughs.

Appearance: Is a bipedal white cat with a really big head. Mostly dresses in a very casual style but has a bunch of kimonos from home she likes to wear around the house when she feels like being comfy. Never wears shoes. Has cat feet and paws, but somehow manages opposable thumb tasks. Unlike the real Hello Kitty, Kelly does in fact have a mouth.

Cherry Blossom: Is a pony. Pink, with a white mane that’s tied up with a big pink flower hair clip. Cherry Blossom comes from a land of friendship and sharing, and is a bit miffed that in this new world she has to give pony rides and act in stupid Disney movies to make a living. She’s kind of bitter because she was flung into another dimension years ago and none of her so called friends have come to rescue her. And by kind of bitter, I mean she’s a giant bitch.

Doktor Zapp: Rents the basement, which he’s converted into his new lab. Doktor Zapp is rather resentful that he’s been cast as some sort of malevolent mad scientist, performing horrible experiments on the human body, when all he wants to do is create the perfect cyborg. His previous lab got trashed by a twenty-foot-tall dog that chewed on most of the lab equipment; he barely got away with his life by hiding under a gigantic couch. Now he’s trying to rebuild his life. He does government contracting for a living.

Appearance: Smaller than all the others because he’s a playset action figure. White hair in a bowl cut, pale skin, dark glasses he never takes off. Always seen in a lab coat, green shirt and black pants.

Lovey: Is a hound dog. A stuffed puppy that was adorable once, but now she’s elderly, her coat patchy and fraying, stuffing leaking, one eye pointing in a different direction than the other. Lovey’s kind of perpetually sad because her owner went to high school and started ignoring her, and then went away to college and never came back.

Emily Egg: Is a baby doll, but close to the same size as the fashion dolls, just proportioned like a baby. Emily doesn’t talk much, and when she does, it’s kind of baby babble, but she is friendly and cheerful. Has sort of latched onto April as a quasi mother figure. Is also great friends with Lovey. Emily sleeps in an egg-shaped basket.

Chad: Is April’s “boyfriend”. He’s handsome, stylish and romantic, and very gentlemanly; he’s never pushed her to have sex. He’s a model, an actor, and the lead singer of a teen-beloved boyband. He’s also completely and totally gay, and April is the only one who doesn’t know it, but he is afraid of ruining his career if he comes out because he works for Disney-esque child-friendly networks.

Steve: Is April’s other boyfriend, the one she is cheating on Chad with. Steve is an ex-Marine, smart, tough and rugged. He’s also bi. He knows of Chad’s existence but thinks Chad is a jerk for not coming out to April and breaking up with her, because he, like everyone on the planet but April, knows that Chad is gay. When he actually meets Chad, he finds to his shock that he actually likes the guy. Steve and Chad both end up breaking up with April and marrying each other; she gets to be Best Woman. April remains friends with them both but cries a lot about the whole thing.

Two weeks prior to the Boston Bomb Scare, Safire calls me up one night and goes, "Check your email!  Do you know where this is?  It's like a scavenger hunt.  ...LED figures of characters from Aqua Teen Hunger Force attached to signposts and bridges using earth magnets ...ATHF...Mooninites: Ignignogt (Iggy) and Err...Cartoon Network...Adult Swim...There's 400 across America and if you can find one and get it down, you get to keep it."  

All I really hear is "scavenger hunt" and "LED" (lights...shiny...) and I'm in.

She sent me a link to a tiny photo on flickr.  The LED figure was stuck to the side of a sign with the color scheme of "Western Union" on it.  Below it was a store's green awning with Chinese characters on it.

So, it had to be in Chinatown, but which one?  San Francisco has three.

"I'm going to finish eating and call you back." By that time, 10 minutes later, she had figured it out. (How? Read more)  "It's two blocks away from you!  I hope it's still there!"

I put on clothes and walk over to check.

JVD Global Inc. (map) 658 Clement St San Francisco, CA 94118

"It's here!!!  I'll guard it until you can get over.  It's about 5 to 7 feet above me- do you have a ladder?" "No." "How about bringing a chair and something to prod it down with?" "I don't have any folding chairs but my parents have big sticks."

She was not kidding.  She brought not one, but two 10 foot sticks, one wooden and one metal. "So, your parents just have these lying around the house." "Yeah.  Actually I wanted the retractable one but I couldn't find it."

We look around.  Nothing to see here.  Just two 5 foot girls with 10 foot sticks.

And we commence to hit it like a piñata.  I love it.  It's difficult.  Earth magnets are incredibly strong and each blow only yields about a quarter inch of movement- and that's only if you hit it at the right angle and don't miss.

The LEDs are on black panels with the battery pack on the bottom and the magnets on the back.  The trick is to hit it from the side until part of the back panel protrudes out from the sign.  Then you can push it out from the back.

and Safire made an amazing catch. Euphoria. "I want one too!"

Aqua Teen Hunger Force #100: “One Hundred” | May 3rd, 2010 - 12:00AM | S08E12

The dang-ass big-ass hundo is upon us, and now we need to talk about it. In this episode, Frylock mysteriously starts seeing the number 100 everywhere (similar to the James Carrey film The Number 23). Suddenly, Shake becomes self-aware that this is the 100th episode of the television series Aqua Teen Hunger Force, which causes him to to Hollywood and negotiate a deal for the show to enter syndication. Shake is depicted as a full-body costume which a realistic Dana Snyder is wearing in an amusing reveal. Eventually a monster, whose body is the shape of a number one-hundred, shows up, and is scary at the Aqua Teens, and begins ripping the show asunder. 

In order to evade the Hundred Monster, the Aqua Teens “hide out” in a new show, now called Aqua Unit Patrol Squad, where the characters are reinvented as Scooby-Doo/Hanna-Barbera style guys. This is a delightful bit, with an opening sequence that depicts a lotta minor characters coming back, just so we can see what they look like. The Hundred Monster catches up with them anyway, and they talk at some length about how syndication doesn’t really apply to them yet, because you need 100 half-hours, and the vast majority of ATHF is in the quarter-hour format. 

I just did some napkin math, and if you took every episode and squished them into half-hour bricks, along with the movies and the Aqua Donk Side Pieces and, for good measure, Baffler Meal, you’ve got 83 half-hours. That means in 10 more years they might actually make it to syndication, if still even exists. 

I like this one a lot! Lotta goofy shit and some genuinely funny jokes. It actually does feel fairly special. Whomst among us can keep a smile from happening on their face when they hear George Lowe say “good thing this wasn’t blood, I’d be licking AIDS right now.” I feel like most shows would reject that line for being so abrasive. A good reason to love this program. 

In addition to George Lowe, we got Tom Savini, a li'l song from li'l MC Chris, and Robert Smigel as the 100 monster.

The Scooby-Doo bit is especially fun, and it's not just the cool animation. It's also a fun joke about the show's origins as a sorta parody of the Scooby-Doo clone phenomenon of Dave and Matt's Gen-X childhood. When Scooby-Doo became a hit, Hanna-Barbera created over a dozen of new shows that followed roughly the same formula. Aqua Teen Hunger Force was created with that spirit in mind. This is also why at the beginning of the show the characters were kinda-sorta trying to be detectives.

One of my favorite things about this is that they actually did rename the series to “Aqua Unit Patrol Squad (1)”, and Shake’s throwaway line about them relocating to Seattle actually stuck; I recall moments in the new season where the show reminds you it takes place in Seattle now despite doing nothing to actually change the physical appearance of the setting. Great joke. Eagle-eyed viewers will note a DEFIANT nod to their failed pilots Stiff and Duckworth. They will note it, and they will NOTE like it.
