I have one of the seasons of ATHF on DVD and I always find it so hilarious that when you press “play all”, thinking that you’re going to be watching the episodes one after another like any other show on DVD does, instead you’re blasted with everything single episode on that DVD played all at once on individual boxes on your screen 😂

They did a similar gag on TV when the movie came out. They told everyone that they were gonna air it completely commercial free, and what they actually did was play it in a box in the bottom right corner of the screen over every show in their line up with no audio, and Spanish subtitles. Was the funniest shit ever.

Scenes exist to be amusing by virtue of their writing. Basically, it’s humor in its purest form

​@@JathraDHventure bros doesn't come from the same era imho. And I say that as someone who accidentally started to watch AS back then would end the night as CN by showing seemingly endless reruns of the original Space Ghost cartoon and slowly over time you would be faced with more and more skits and voiceover segments of the "coast to coast" Space Ghost" which left your average viewer like myself increasingly confused and amused and it would all crescendo until they finally aired an episode of "coast to coast". That whole arrangement is quite honestly on, if not *the* cleverest and engaging pieces of promo work I have ever experienced. It made me an immediate fan of both Adult Swim and both of the versions of Space Ghost I had been introduced to. It's sad to see how disconnected the company is from itself and it's audience (not to mention how terribly it treats the talent and creators of the various programmes for them. Martin C Crocker, the voice of both Brak and Moltar most famously, recently passed away primarily due to not being able to afford the healthcare he required to treat him), I swear they think they are the producers of high art nowadays and their own attitudes towards the Space Ghost character is a testament to how badly they need to wake up and smell the roses.

My last semester of school was right when Covid hit. That Carl graduation speech made it a little better.

"They truly were an Aqua Teen Hunger Force" - Carl Brutananadilewski When I was a pubescent teen, at first glance looking at the promos for this show, I thought this was the stupidest shit put on TV. Then back in 2003, I accidentally ended up watching an episode and really taking a shine to Master Shake's asshole, bullshit artist character and bully dynamic to Meatwad, then every other character fell into place for me to love this show. You're right, Shake is pretty much Eric Cartman, which is probably why I started liking the show because I was starting to get into South Park at the same time, too. Carl most definitely has to be Kenny, then. 🤭😭😂 Alot of memorable episodes like "Broodwich," "Total Re-Carl", "Dumber Dolls," "The Cloning," "Super Birthday Snake," "Global Grilling," " The Clowning," "Drippy", "Ezekiel," the episode were The Mooninites try to cash a check, and "Hand Banana" (probably the funniest episodes I'd almost died laughing at). Seinfeld needs to lose that slogan for their show. Aqua Teen Hunger Force was a show about nothing, and it was and STILL is AWESOME! 😂😁😎

Seeing the OG Adult Swim logo definitely brought back some memories. I was a kid when they first aired, and ligit thought i was going to get im trouble for watching adult content. Then, it went on to give birth to many of my favorite intellectual properties!

I remember the first night of adult swim... I was there... 3000 years ago...

"Classic Rock will be forever changed" Has left such an indelible mark on me from such a young age. I Think about this a lot

There IS technically a point to all of this ATHF stuff. It’s funny. It amuses the audience in so, SO many ways, thus people care for it despite the fact that it’s completely nonsensical.

This entire show was making up bits and committing to them

I love how you can watch any episode and not worry about being out of the loop, story only started to matter towards the later seasons

When people would say to me; "Seinfeld is so ahead of its time! It's a show about absolutely nothing, heh heh" And I reply; "it's a show about a sassy metro trying to get by, by being a bystander, and what challenges they face...all while curing you of insomnia..! Helping you fall asleep within a few minutes of the beginning of each episode! Amazing show--but a show 'about nothing' it is not... ...however...if you actually want to watch something that's funny, while actually being about fk-all nothing, watch 'Aqua Teen Hunger Force,' but try not to lose your mind looking for 'meaning' and just enjoy the experience.."

What a nice little deep-dive! Rick & Morty and Smiling Friends may be the top dogs of Adult Swim these days, but Master Shake, Frylock and Meatwad will always be the mascots of the block in my eyes. Also, I gotta give a special shout-out to the Mooninites; hands down the best characters in the whole series, atleast in my opinion. No one can defeat the Quad Laser!

I miss when the pop-up website was an actual domain you could visit. Enter the domain name as spelled out in the episode (which the algorithm _won't_ let me do even without punctuation for God knows why), you'd be greeted by sound clips of Master Shake, a repeating buffering animation, and catch occasional glimpses of the Wwwyzzerddd as he flooded your browser with fake pop-up ads until your browser crashed. Unfortunately, ad-blockers came out a couple years later, and the charm fell off a cliff. Still, the site remained up for many years after the episode aired. They put actual effort into that website. You don't see that kind of fake tie-in site/elaborate shitpost anymore in mainstream media... *_"ENTER THE INTERNET..."_*

To clerify that's why I do think it's one of the best shows of all time.

Infinitely quotable. My friends and I practically speak in spongebob and aquateen quotes

"Do they have lil turkey muffins?"

Gonna be honest, whenever I watch videos discussing Aqua Teen Hunger Force, a point I tend to disagree with is the idea that it's just pure nonsense with no rhyme or reason with writing that feels like it's just pure stream of consciousness. I'm not saying it's straight genius or that the show isn't weird, but it's like when I watch the show I get the strong impression that the writers just straight know what they're doing. Characters have strong personalities and chemistry with one another, gag one offs and reocurring characters have some clear intentions behind how they can bounce off the main cast. Like the bible fruit present a fun idea of what if The Aqua Teens met characters more maladjusted than them and suddenly they look like the normal ones in comparison. Alot of Carl's characterization does so much to make him more interesting than just a straightman to the Aqua Teens and show how he's a pretty far gone bad person with self-destructive habits. Like so many episodes indicate clear as day that the show's not pure randomness and that the writers have very clear ideas of what they want to do with the characters and episode plots.

Boston wasn't the only city that got the light bright signs. They were just the only city to freak out without taking a few critical thinking minutes.

I will tolerate no hate for Space Ghost. That show has aged like the finest wine.

Really enjoyable video, man. Hope this blows up.

'knock knock' 'who's there?' 'fuck you.'

I saw ATHF:MFFT in theaters back in the day. There were 4 other people there, two stoners and two old ladys who were super offended, it was great.

TERRIBLE WRITING??

i discovered this show when i was in high school, and i had watched it all the way through so many times that by the end of my senior year i could recall entire episodes while bored in class lol

My absolute favorite ever-running gag of ATHF is the intro and most external material presenting the team doing epic stuff yet in-show they never do any of that stuff in the absolute, I love the idea of that

Some highschool friends and i skipped class to go watch the movie in 2007 in theaters! Good time's and i still watch it once in a while

I’ve been waiting for this retrospective for years! This show is banished to the darkest corners of my mind, childhood memories peaking through soggy, crusty eyes just to see the most absurd and, a lot of the time, gory bits to ever grace the airwaves.

King of the Hill is the greatest cartoon ever made, i tell you hwat

I agree with the title of video

I love the fact that you had the movie playing in the bottom left corner

I feel like the writers just wrote plot points then the actors just ad lib it all then they animate around that

"You could never do something like this today" but this whole era of Adult Swim was a watershed moment for adult animation. There was nothing else like it on television. Absurdist, experimental, self-aware and so few f*cks to give that, until the cash cow that is Rick & Morty, everyone knew that this thing could stop at any time for being unprofitable. It's youtube animation, friend. It's not an anomaly; there was no mold to break. They made the mold, and everything since has iterated on it.

SO glad athf is being recognized lately!!

For me, the funniest part of the episodes is that it just ends, abruptly. Usually right as Carl is getting the brunt of whatever the group was cooking up.

They definitely didnt know whay they were doing at the start. The show even acknowledges it with the jokes about how they were detectives for a bit.

13:18 All the hours ive sunk in GTAV and i never listened to this channel long enough to catch this. BRAVO!

_Homer hate losing! Homer_ *_smash!!_* But you may also want to smile...friend.

I'm horrified with how many of these scenes I can quote line for line... Also the movie has a fantastic soundtrack. Some killer punk and hard rock tracks in there.

"I get it, it ain't making me laugh but..I get it."

Lol i did go to an actual movie theater in 2007 to watch the Aqua Teen Movie on the big screen. This show came at the perfect time for me, pretty much at the exact same time as mary jane did so obviously I thought it was the shit.

'Cut You Up with a Linoleum Knife' is a masterpiece. 18:04 They forgot the lightning bolt-shaped mark under Frylock's left eye (that's "his" left). 19:01 Wait! It's there! Okay, so it's inconsistent.

One of the pop-ups in the episode shows a girl sitting on the street corner with the text "ready for aome desperate homeless teen action?! LET'S GET IT ON!"
