Summary: Flip Flops?!?!
Review: Beyond off-beat, this is the sort of comedy that is best served under some kind of influence.The stories very rarely wrap up, which is great for those nights you really don't want to (or simply can't) follow anything anyway, but want to laugh and laugh and laugh.
This volume is obviously a little awkward, being the first episodes, however it's this oddball awkwardness which makes it all the more hilarious in my opinion. It is also when Master Shake (the self appointed leader, wickedly funny), Frylock (the actual smart one, although his intellect is often cryptic), and the adorable, slimey little Meatwad with all his "fluids and diseases" and big heart squished somewhere in his round, rolling little body are introduced as PI's.
The basis of this show was initally to have the appetizing trio work as detectives, for twenty dollars Shake can take his best possible guess on such mysteries as flattened cars, hairy maniquins, and mugging leperachans.
I can't close this without paying homage to the most memorable character Carl. Complete with tank top, sweat pants, flip flops on hairy feet and fake gold chain, it's hard to believe that it's the three foot pool in his back yard that can't keep the Aqua Teen's away from his home. The delivery of his comments and frustration knock me out of my chair.
This is certainly the best volume of the ATHF with episodes that never get tired.

Review: "I want candy, bubble gum and taffy
Skip to the sweet shop with my sweetheart Sandy
Got my pennies saved cuz I'm a sugar daddy
I'm her Hugh Cronyn she's my Jessica Tandy, I want candy!
(...)
Do it to your daddy, embarass your own family
Just 'cause you came in front of a kid and his candy
I need candy, any kind'll do
I don't care if it's nutritious or "FDA approved"
It's gonna make me spaz like bobcats on booze
I'll make a hyperactive juice that only I can produce
To bore a giant drill straight into hell
Realeasin' ancient demons from a sleep forever spell
So they can walk upon the Earth, and get resituated
And hawk the diet pills that MC P Pants created
Mess up the mix, mix up the mess
Come on down yo here's the address
It's six, one-two, Wharf Avenue
Six, one-two, Wharf Avenue"I highly reccomend ATHF... because where else can you watch a giant 8 foot spider wearing a disposable diaper pose as a cardboard 12 year old rapper who had a stroke and raps about an elaborate pyramid scheme to sell diet pills?

Summary: must have DVD
Review: "How you even gonna ride a bike with no freakin' legs? You're gonna break the ass you don't have! Who even bothered to spawn you and why?" -Master Shake (to Meatwad in "Revenge of the Mooninites") Since there is no Kids in the Hall DVD, you must buy this one. Alright, I would have bought it anyway even if there was a Kids in the Hall DVD. This is the best 15 minute show on Cartoon Network with some of the best lines this side of the middle Simpsons seasons. It's a must have DVD...I just wish that the episode "Total Re-Carl" was on here.

Summary: The Highlander was a documentary...
Review: Absolutely brilliant. Completely irreverent. Positively absurd. When talking mutant food items begin wreaking havoc in the suburbs, hilarity ensues. Witty, intelligent, up-to-date and utterly ridiculous, this series will keep you in stitches over and over again. I do wish however there were more episodes with commentary or extra features. The original cut of "Rabbot" is nothing more than the original storyboards, which is nonetheless interesting, but not that exciting.

Summary: The coolest, weirdest, funniest, TV show ever.
Review: Adult Swim.... the coolest programming ever. (as you can see, my name is vash, who any adult swim veterans definetley know [(>_<)]) So they decided to put together a new show called Aqua Teen Hunger Force. So, who cares? I DO!!! The first time this show came on it was the best non-anime show on adult swim... maybe even ever! Just right now head on over to adultswim.com and watch the clip they have prepared for you. I can almost promise that you will be looking at the schedule right after that to see when it comes on. BUY THIS DVD!!! An odd thing about this show is... it has nothing to do with water. Actually when you think about it, it has nothing to do with anything in the title. No water (aqua), i highly doubt the main characters are teens (teen) and it isnt as much about a force (hunger force) as it is about a pack 'o fries, a shake, and a meatball haangin out. however weird the premise is, I can bet you will have fun watching the exploits and adventures of this hunger force!!!

Summary: You've tamed him with your greasy dance of joy
Review: Aqua Teen Hunger Force ('ATHF') is one of the funniest things I've ever seen. Starring late on night on the Cartoon Network's 'Adult Swim', ATHF centers around a narcissistic milkshake, Master Shake, a genius batch of frenchfries with super powers, Frylock, and a sizzling ball of hamburger meat, Meatwad. The three form a detective agency/squad (The Aqua Teen Hunger Force, natch) and noisily "solve" mysterious events, much to the continued annoyance of their pot-bellied and 'self-employed' neighbor Carl. Sound bizarre? You have no idea. ATHF is some sort of sick, demented combination of Super Friends, South Park, and all those unintentionally creepy cartoons from the early 80s like The Snorks. Read: it rocks. This series is one of the most consistently entertaining, funny, and quotable I've ever seen. Each episode starts with some sort of bizarre creation or device either escaping from or otherwise being generated at the lab of Dr. Wierd in his castle on the New Jersey shore. Whatever that creation is, it inevitably ends up involving our heroes in very short order. The best episodes involve the Mooninites, a pair of pixelated freaks straight out of Moon Patrol or some other 1981 Atari game with mouths like children on South Park. The Mooninites descend from, naturally, the Moon, and proceed to wreak havoc with their kleptomania and ability to fire extremely slow, square video game bullets at people ("The bullet is enormous! Jumping..is useless.") A hilarious side plot involves the fixation of the Aqua Teen Hunger Force on the joys of basking in Carl's above-ground pool. In one classic moment, Carl puts up neon racing stripes around his pool: Carl: Yeah.. my pool looks like it's tearin' arse around the backyard..'cept it's standing still. Still waters run deep.
[enter Shake]
Shake: Carl! Whoa, that pool is tricked out...turbo!
Carl: You stay away from it..because you are wierd. In another episode, as Carl is blasted into the sky, his final lingering shriek is 'Stay out of my poooooool!' In short, this is a series that was clearly a blast for the animators to put together, and it's just as much fun to watch. I recommend it to anyone with even the faintest hint of appreciation for the absurd.

Summary: good..........but no sealab
Review: Aqua Teen Hunger Force is a funny show from the Adult Swim segment of cartoon network. It surprises you with consistent off-beat humor based around the story's "plot." This being said, i didn't give it the 5th star because it has the bad luck of being scheduled next to sealab 2021, which is the funniest animated show i have ever seen. However, since sealab isn't available yet on dvd format, i do recommend Aqua Teen Hunger Force.

Review: Aqua Teen Hunger Force is a show that should not be taken literally, the point of the show is to confuse you and make you laugh at the ridiculous characters and situations, I loved it and anyone who doesn't, then don't preech!

Summary: The cloner! My brownies!
Review: Aqua Teen Hunger Force is absolutely the best cartoon I have ever seen. It had me laughing hysterically every episode. Master Shake, Frylock, Meatwad, and their neighbor Carl manage to get into all sorts of perils throughout the episodes. Filled with witty humor, and wickedly funny animation, ATHF Volume 1 is a superb purchase. If you have seen the show, this DVD is a must-buy. If you haven't, what are you waiting for? Buy the first volume now and enjoy it as much as I have.
