Aqua Teen Hunger Force#Carl

The series centers on the surreal adventures and antics of three anthropomorphic fast food items: Master Shake, a selfish, pathologically lying milkshake; Frylock, a calm and intelligent box of French fries; and Meatwad, a shapeshifting, childlike ball of ground meat. They live together like relatives and rarely get along with their human neighbor Carl, a middle-aged, boorish, lecherous sports fanatic. The protagonists also encounter new antagonists in most episodes. Some episodes feature cameos from celebrities appearing as fictionalized versions of themselves.

The Mooninites are two aliens from the Moon who frequently appear, serving as primary antagonists and wreaking havoc through a series of illegal or destructive actions. The Mooninites appear more than most characters outside the main cast. Other recurring characters have made several appearances, including Oglethorpe and Emory, MC Pee Pants, Cybernetic Ghost of Christmas Past from the Future, and Markula. Episodes often end with the non-canonical deaths or injuries of major characters, or destruction to their property, only to be restored without explanation in the following episode.

In the show's first seven seasons, the protagonists live in a suburban neighborhood in South New Jersey. During the eighth season, the location was changed to Seattle, Washington.{{cite web |last=Franich |first=Darren |date=April 26, 2011 |title='Aqua Teen Hunger Force' changes title to 'Aqua Unit Patrol Squad 1' |url=http://popwatch.ew.com/2011/04/26/aqua-teen-hunger-force-new-title/?replytocom=1565577 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110501051659/http://popwatch.ew.com/2011/04/26/aqua-teen-hunger-force-new-title/?replytocom=1565577 |archive-date=May 1, 2011 |access-date=April 27, 2011 |publisher=Pop Watch}} The Seattle setting appears entirely identical to the Jersey setting. As of the ninth season, the same neighborhood is identified as "Seattle, New Jersey".{{Cite episode |title=Fightan Titan |series=Aqua Something You Know Whatever |season=9 |number=7 |airdate=August 5, 2012}}

During the first two seasons, episodes cold-opened with a glimpse into the laboratory of Dr. Weird. He and his assistant Steve use the first several seconds of the show to create monsters, disasters, and various things. In earlier episodes of the first season, the monsters or creations usually form the basis of the plot, but as the crime-fighting element of the program disappeared, the Dr. Weird segment became a non sequitur opening gag.

In the third season, the Dr. Weird openings were replaced with segments from the pilot episode of Spacecataz, an unaired spin-off created by Willis and Maiellaro. Six episodes were planned for production, but Adult Swim felt there was little that could be made into five more episodes since all the characters were destroyed at the end of the pilot, despite the parent series being predominantly not canonical.{{Cite AV media |title=Audio commentary for "Little Brittle": Volume Four |medium=DVD}} These segments featured the Mooninites and Plutonians trading insults, gestures, and practical jokes. The full Spacecataz pilot is available as a special feature on the Volume Four DVD box set.[https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000B5XOR0 Product Details for "Aqua Teen Hunger Force Volume 4"] on Amazon.com The Mooninites appear to outsmart the Plutonians for much of the series including tagging the Plutonians' ship and reversing a prank that involved 50 million large pizzas.

Cold openings were eliminated starting with the fourth-season premiere, "Dirtfoot". A one-off cold opening featuring Dr. Weird and Steve was used once again in the season eight premiere "Allen Part One".

The three main characters—Master Shake, Frylock, and Meatwad—were originally created for an episode of Space Ghost Coast to Coast called "Baffler Meal", where they were the corporate mascots for the fictional fast-food chain "Burger Trench". The original versions of the trio were prototypes that resembled the future characters, but both Master Shake and Frylock differed in appearance, personality, and voice from their ultimate design.{{Cite AV media |title=Audio commentary for "Baffler Meal"; Volume Two |medium=DVD}} The original name "Teen Hunger Force" refers to the squad's mission to conquer hunger in teens.{{Cite AV media |title=Spoken dialogue in "Baffler Meal"; Volume Two |medium=DVD}}

"Baffler Meal" went through a number of drafts{{cite web |first=Myke|last=Johns|date=July 20, 2015 |title='Aqua Teen Hunger Force' Creators Talk Cancellation, Weirdness |url=https://www.wabe.org/aqua-teen-hunger-force-creators-talk-cancellation-weirdness/ |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180507003553/https://www.wabe.org/aqua-teen-hunger-force-creators-talk-cancellation-weirdness/ |archive-date=May 7, 2018 |access-date=May 29, 2018 |publisher=WABE}} but was not animated or produced until after the series became popular. Instead, the Space Ghost episode was initially rewritten as "Kentucky Nightmare", while the trio, along with Carl, debuted in "Rabbot", the pilot episode of Aqua Teen Hunger Force. A full season consisting of 16 episodes, including "Rabbot", was put into production shortly thereafter. The series was one of Adult Swim's most popular shows.{{Cite AV media |title=Audio commentary |medium=DVD}}

In early episodes, the trio was identified by Master Shake as the Aqua Teen Hunger Force, which solved crimes for money. After a few episodes, this premise and the characters' use of the name were dropped. The premise was a trick that had been added to appease Cartoon Network executives, who "didn't want to air a show about food just going around and doing random things". In the show, Frylock says they stopped fighting crime because "that wasn't making us a whole lot of money".Spoken dialogue in Kidney Car

Every episode of Aqua Teen Hunger Force was written and directed by series creators Dave Willis and Matt Maiellaro and produced by Williams Street. Much of the dialogue was supplemented with ad-libs and improvisation by the voice talent.{{Cite magazine |title=Aqua Teen Hunger Force, The Interview, September 22, 2003 |url=http://www.flakmag.com/features/aquateen.html |url-status=live |magazine=Flak Magazine |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060615235548/http://www.flakmag.com/features/aquateen.html |archive-date=June 15, 2006 |access-date=June 15, 2006}} The show was fully scripted but ad-libs are included in the final recordings and the shows are animated to include this improvisation. Many of the crew and cast members formerly worked on Space Ghost Coast to Coast.

Voiceover artist George Lowe has made several appearances throughout the series. Lowe previously starred as Space Ghost in Space Ghost Coast to Coast and the original incarnation of Cartoon Planet, from which several cast and crew members moved on to work for Aqua Teen Hunger Force. Lowe made his first appearance in Aqua Teen Hunger Force in the season one episode "Mail Order Bride" and went on to make several other cameos. He had a prominent appearance as himself in the season four episode "Antenna", and reprised his role as Space Ghost for a quick appearance in Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theaters. Lowe was later considered a member of the main cast in 2011 during Aqua Unit Patrol Squad 1; he announced the title of each episode and continued to make cameos. Lowe later made another prominent appearance in the Aqua Something You Know Whatever episode "Rocket Horse and Jet Chicken".

Series animator C. Martin Croker, known for his interpretation of Zorak in various shows and specials, provided the voices of both Dr. Weird and Steve during the cold openings for the first two seasons and "Allen Part One". Croker also voiced several birds in the season seven episode "Eggball". Andy Merrill has portrayed Oglethorpe alongside Mike Schatz as Emory in several episodes. Merrill is also well known for his interpretation of Brak in several shows and specials and provided the voice of Merle in "Escape from Leprechaupolis" and "The Last One". MC Chris, who has a history of voicing characters on Adult Swim programs, has provided the voice of MC Pee Pants in several episodes. Chris also provided the voice of eight-year-old Carl in "Cybernetic Ghost of Christmas Past from the Future" and returned for a musical role in the season seven episode "One Hundred" after a long absence. Tommy Blacha joined the recurring cast with the introduction of his character Wongburger in the season four episode "Dickesode". With the exception of Tommy Blacha, the entire recurring cast reprised their roles in Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theaters.

Various comedians, athletes, and other celebrities have made guest appearances, usually credited under pseudonyms due to the series originally using non-union voice talent.

The twelfth season featured Eric Bauza, Brian Cox, Maurice LaMarche, Dan Fogler and Gary Anthony Williams. Unlike the first eleven seasons, the twelfth season is unionized under SAG-AFTRA.

In 2011, for the eighth season, the series' title was changed to Aqua Unit Patrol Squad 1; Maiellaro later explained that he and Willis were getting bored with the former title and wanted to "come up with a new fresh open and a whole new show, just to try it out".{{cite web |last=Ohanesian |first=Liz |date=May 7, 2011 |title=Aqua Unit Patrol Squad 1: Are the Characters from Aqua Teen Hunger Force Really Moving to Seattle? |url=http://blogs.laweekly.com/stylecouncil/2011/05/aqua_unit_patrol_squad_1.php |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110822222822/http://blogs.laweekly.com/stylecouncil/2011/05/aqua_unit_patrol_squad_1.php |archive-date=August 22, 2011 |access-date=August 7, 2011 |publisher=LAWeekly}} Despite the title change there were virtually no changes to the show's characters or tone.

Each season that is branded under an alternate title features a different opening sequence and theme music written by different artists. On most television listings and digital download sites, the alternatively titled episodes are formally listed under their alternative titles, not as episodes of Aqua Teen Hunger Force. On most legal digital downloading sites that feature the series, the first 7 seasons are presented as Aqua Teen Hunger Force while the alternatively titled seasons are listed separately and treated as if they were each a completely different, one-season series.{{citation needed|date=April 2020}}

Rapper Schoolly D performed the Aqua Teen Hunger Force theme song used in the first seven seasons. An extended remix version of the theme was used in the 2007 film adaptation and in the soundtrack for the 2011 video game Saints Row: The Third. After a multi-year absence, Schoolly D returned for the season seven episode "Rabbot Redux", performing a different theme song used exclusively in that episode. The special intro to "Rabbot Redux" featured the exact animation used in the regular intro.[http://video.adultswim.com/aqua-teen-hunger-force/new-open.html New open] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131029212646/http://video.adultswim.com/aqua-teen-hunger-force/new-open.html |date=October 29, 2013 }} the intro sequence used exclusively in "Rabbot Redux," with two versions used - the original for the theme and an alternate mixed used in the episode's end.

Schoolly D returned for the season nine intro for Aqua Something You Know Whatever, writing and performing it with Mariachi El Bronx.

The movie follows the origins of the Aqua Teens, which includes an exercise machine, Neil Peart of the band Rush, a watermelon slice named Walter Melon, and an appearance by a heavy metal band Mastodon in the opening sequence. The film also introduces a fourth Aqua Teen, a chicken nugget named Chicken Bittle (voiced by Bruce Campbell).

{{Main|2007 Boston Mooninite panic}}

The series received national attention in 2007 because of a publicity stunt that became known as the Boston bomb scare. On January 31, 2007, as part of a national guerrilla marketing campaign for the series, Peter Berdovsky and Sean Stevens installed Lite-Brite-like LED displays depicting the Mooninites in eleven different cities: Boston, New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Atlanta, Seattle, Portland, Denver, Austin, San Francisco, and Philadelphia. In Boston, the authorities considered the LEDs suspicious, prompting the closure of major roads and waterways for investigation. Turner Broadcasting System later admitted to placing the LEDs and apologized for the misunderstanding.

Berdovsky and Stevens faced charges for "placing a hoax device and disorderly conduct"; in spite of the uproar, the two mocked the media and critics in interviews.{{Cite news |date=February 1, 2007 |title=Probe into Boston ad stunt chaos |work=BBC News |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/6319211.stm |url-status=live |access-date=February 1, 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070202094028/http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/6319211.stm |archive-date=February 2, 2007}} All criminal charges were dropped in exchange for Berdovsky and Stevens apologizing during their court date and accepting a plea bargain that consisted of community service at the Spaulding Rehabilitation Center.{{Cite news |date=May 11, 2007 |title=Community service for defendants in Cartoon Network case |work=Boston.com: Boston Globe website |url=http://www.boston.com/news/globe/city_region/breaking_news/2007/05/defendants_in_c.html |url-status=live |access-date=February 4, 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081227062547/http://www.boston.com/news/globe/city_region/breaking_news/2007/05/defendants_in_c.html |archive-date=December 27, 2008}} Turner Broadcasting paid the Boston Police Department $1 million to cover the investigation's cost and an additional $1 million for good will.{{Cite news |date=February 5, 2007 |title=Turner, 2nd firm to pay $2 million over scare |work=NBC News |agency=Associated Press |url=https://www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna16990202 |url-status=live |access-date=December 19, 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130420214104/http://www.nbcnews.com/id/16990202/ |archive-date=April 20, 2013}}{{Cite news |title=Cartoon Network Head Resigns After Scare |work=ABC News |url=https://abcnews.go.com/Business/wireStory?id=2863647 |access-date=February 22, 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070403040220/https://abcnews.go.com/Business/wireStory?id=2863647 |archive-date=April 3, 2007}} This was designed to settle criminal and civil claims, while the general manager of Cartoon Network stepped down because of the incident. Of the eleven cities in which the displays were placed, only Boston saw them as a matter of concern. The installations had been up for weeks before the panic.
