If the names Master Shake, Frylock, and Meatwad mean anything to you, then you need no introduction to the Aqua Teen Hunger Force. But if these names sound like rejects from a Happy Meal to you, then you have yet to experience one of the most unique and hysterical adult cartoons on television. With its irreverent humor, Aqua Teen Hunger Force has already earned a cult following.
Premiering in 2001, Aqua Teen Hunger Force was one of the first programs launched on Adult Swim, a late-night block of cartoons airing on Cartoon Network. Adult Swim cartoons are aimed at a more mature audience, often skewering classic cartoons of the past. Aqua Teen Hunger Force is no exception, ripping on super hero cartoons of the '70s and '80s with uniquely droll and sardonic wit.
The Aqua Teen Hunger Force originally banned together to solve mysteries. These early adventures can be seen on the Aqua Teen Hunger Force DVD: Volume One. Later episodes opted for more random plotlines and can be seen starting in Volume Two of the DVDs. The DVDs include bonus features like deleted scenes and audio commentaries.
If you're already a fan of Aqua Teen Hunger Force, there are lots of ways to show your support. A line of Aqua Teen Hunger Force plush toys has been produced, featuring the main characters of Frylock, Master Shake, and Meatwad. Stickers, tee shirts, posters and action figures are all available as well, and are quite popular among collectors. |
