"Aqua Teen Movie"
Behind The Scenes

Let’s get a few things out of the way. The title Aqua Teen Hunger Force has absolutely nothing to do with the show. Ignore it. The three leads consider themselves crime-fighters; the truth is they never fight crime. Please also try to ignore that the three leads are sentient fast-food products. This also has very little to do with the story.

The story is about three roommates living in the crappy suburbs of New Jersey and dealing with surreal and absurd circumstances. The universe in which they exist is one of monsters, mythical creatures, aliens, robots, ghosts, and freaks. The three leads react to these characters and situations with a blasé attitude because, in this world, these things are the norm.

Aqua Teen Hunger Force (also known as ATHF or simply Aqua Teen) is an animated television series shown on the Cartoon Network as part of its Adult Swim late-night programming block. The show was co-created by Dave Willis and Matt Maiellaro, who write and direct the show together. Much of the dialogue is supplemented with adlibs and improvisation by the vocal talent, and the show is edited and animated to include this improvisation. ATHF is one of the four original series produced by Williams Street Studios that aired on Adult Swim in 2001 (along with Sealab 2021, The Brak Show, and Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law). ATHF is the longest running original series on the network alongside Harvey Birdman.

ATHF is about three human-sized fast food products, Master Shake, Frylock, and Meatwad, and their life together in New Jersey. Despite its title, the show doesn’t involve teenagers or any particular emphasis on water (although many episodes do revolve around the Aqua Teens swimming without permission in their neighbor Carl’s pool). While it is true that many of the characters often get the munchies and there is a lot of aggressive behavior, there is no formal Hunger Force on the program. Indeed, on the commentary for one of the ATHF DVD’s, it is said that the concept was originally added to appease the executives at Cartoon Network, who “didn't want to air a show about food just going around and doing random stuff.”

The Aqua Teens were originally detectives, but as the series progressed the crime-solving aspect of the show was quickly abandoned. There is very little continuity between episodes, and all but one of the recurring cast members (Frylock) have died at least once. The focus is instead on the interaction between the characters and brutal, sarcastic, and often surreal humor.

The Aqua Teens were originally created for an unproduced episode of Space Ghost Coast to Coast, an animated spoof talk show on the Cartoon Network. (Many, if not all, of the crew and cast members, including Willis and Maiellaro, formerly worked on Space Ghost Coast to Coast). The episode, “Baffler Meal” (a parody of McDonald’s Happy Meal), featured a prototypical version of the ATHF that resembled the future characters but differed in appearance, personality, and voice. The Aqua Teens had their actual debut in “Rabbot,” the pilot episode of ATHF, which aired on December 30th, 2000. A full first season of ATHF was put into production shortly thereafter; and its first regular episode was shown on September 16, 2001. 68 episodes have been produced to date. "Aqua Teen Hunger Force" the fifth season of 15 episodes wrapped up this January.

The main characters on the show include the Aqua Teens’ fat slob neighbor, Carl, who tries unsuccessfully to keep the Aqua Teens away from his house and his pool; the mad scientist Dr. Weird and his lab assistant Steve; and two villainous pairs of dastardly villains--Ignignokt and Err of the dreaded Mooninite Army, and Oglethorpe and Emory of the Plutonian League.

However, the cosmology of the program is profound and far-reaching, encompassing a vast list of supporting characters, far too many to mention. A greatly abbreviated selection includes: MC Pee Pants (a rapping spider who is frequently killed and reincarnated); the Cybernetic Ghost of Christmas Past (a lunatic robot who tells elaborate tall tales); Ass Head (an alien frat pledge); Dusty Gozongas (a busty stripper who moonlights as a service repairwoman); Eggzilla (a giant fire-breathing Easter egg with reptile legs who torches Santa Claus); Handbanana (a genetically-engineered “dog” created in Carl’s pool by the members of ATHF who has great skill at pastry-making, can “mind-link” and frequently rapes Carl); Mr. Wongburger (a giant, bespectacled alien resembling a penis who uses a contest at his fast food restaurant to steal men’s genitalia, which he uses to build a giant spaceship to return to his “dick planet.”); Mucus Men (giant man-shaped blobs originally made of Shake’s mucus who enslave the earth and make everyone produce more mucus); Randal (a man genetically merged with a pork chop by Dr. Weird); Robositter (an abusive robot—voiced by Sarah Silverman—built by Frylock to babysit Meatwad); and Willie Nelson (a four-legged monster—no relation to the singer Willie Nelson—who seems nice until he tries to devour Carl).

The Aqua Teen Hunger Force theme song is written and performed by Schoolly D. Among the many celebrities to make appearances on the show are The Misfits’ Glenn Danzig, the Los Angeles Clippers’ Jay Edwards, actor Seth Green, Ted Nugent, adult actress Tera Patrick, and Black Label Society’s Zakk Wylde - "Aqua Teen Hunger Force Movie."
