D-d-d-dancing is forbidden!

It’s from the “Rabbot” episode:

> Meatwad: (jumps off his grill, and starts dancing) Good morning, Frylock, how are you doing?

And how could I pass up these quotes from the same episode…

> Shake: Look, Meatwad, this is Carl’s pool, not yours. You can’t just decide to go swimming whenever you want.  
> Meatwad: But you’re swimming right now.  
> Shake: What I’m doing is merely swirling the water about. That’s not a crime.

> Shake: Meat bridge? No. (breaks counter and walks past it)

I fell to discussing ATHF with a comrade tonight, and he made mention of an ep in which Frylock invents a supercomputer, which is so intelligent it develops the ability to time travel and brings back a Neanderthal named… Og.

He didn’t mention whether Og said “Og smash” at any point during the ep, but simply having Og make an appearance in ATHF is enough for me. Anyone able to confirm this?

You sure the THC didn’t have anything to do with that? 😉

“Yeah, he’s not all the fun to hang out with. He says things like ‘what’d you say?’ and ‘I’ll cut you’.”

Well, no.

See, near as I can tell, they may have been created by Dr. Weird (as Frylock has a picture of himself and a younger Dr. Weird in his room). That’s kind of irrelevant, however, as are most things in the series. They tried to be detectives in the first few episodes, but seem to have given up on that after they failed to do much of anything about the Rabbot that sprayed a lot of buildings in the downtown area with hair-growth formula. They’re just roommates, as far as I can tell, and have been for…well…as long as is relevant, really.

This episode was playing when I was introducing my friend to ATHF while we were on vacation. Needless to say, if you’re going to watch ATHF for the first time, this probably wasn’t the best episode to watch.

But who cares about him? I laughed my ass off, and now whenever I hear anyone reciting the sequence of days of the week, it takes all my power to not burst out laughing (which I’m almost doing at work right now). 😃
