I know a lot of people think this show is really dumb, but I can’t help that it makes me crack up. Maybe its because I’m privy to an unpleasant roomate situation (my best friend and his misfit roomates).
Its also kind of humorous how the show has been progressing. Originally, the “Laboratory of Dr. Wierd” prologues actually were relevant to the show (Rabot, Rainbow machine, Vortex, etc) but then again, this is when the Aqua Teen Hunger Force were actually DETECTIVES. In more recent episodes Frylock admits they dont even TRY to pretend to be detectives.
Anyone have any favorite quotes?

Meatwad make da money, see
Meatwad get da honeys, see
I got into this show kind of late. Forgive a couple of dumb questions but does Master Shake have any super-powers (besides being a sentient milk shake)? Does Meatwad have any powers other than changing into an igloo and then a hot dog (I think I saw him turn into Abe Lincoln once)?

I’ve only gotten into the show in the past month and I think it’s pretty funny. Aside from Star Trek and Buffy the Vampire Slayer, it’s really the only thing I am watching at the moment.

Master Shake can squirt a blob of milkshake about a foot. That’s about it. He also seems to be able to take alot of punishment without screaming in pain. Perks of having a styrofoam body, I guess.

In the first couple of episodes the show was about a trio of detectives, fighting thte monsters that Dr. Weird created (like Rabbot). Shake was the leader, and he could control Frylock. It wasn’t long before the series settled into their current routine: having odd adventures.
My favorite are the Mooninites.

I love the Dr. Weird segments more than the actual show.
“Gentlemen! I have made love to…THIS MACHINE!”
“What?”
“In retrospect, I ask why.”
“Well…was it for science?”
“No! I did it because she was drunk and I was bored!”
_out pops steel orb with legs_
“My metal boy!”

The Mooninites are awesome, they deserve their own show (perhaps Mooninites versus Plutonians).
“When I say your name, you say ‘here.’ And we will assume ‘here’ is short for 'here I am rock you like a hurricane.”
Also my favorite Meatwad line
“I’d kill someone, in front of their own mama, for a ten-speed”

I checked it out ONCE, because the show is supposedly set in South Jersey.
(dosen’t Dr. Wierd have a castle on the jersey shore? Possibly Brigantine Castle?)
I ask myself “does any of this look familiar?..nah.”
Besides…why is it AQUA teen hunger force?

Same reason it’s “Teen.” Because it’s funny. 😉

This show’s growing on me. My cat looks like Frylock. Sorry, I don’t have any quotes because I haven’t watched it enough.

Alternatively, it could be because they’re always sneaking into Carl’s pool. 😉

They’re getting their own show, called Spacecataz. The newest episodes have Spacecataz clips in the beginning instead of Dr. Weird.

I liked the episode where Frylock invented a machine that went back in time and made a caveman smart.

Is there ever an episode that explains where they come from. Were they, too, made by Dr. Weird and Steve??

There’s a picture in the house (in Frylock’s room, I think) of Frylock and Dr. Weird together, so it isn’t much of a leap to assume Dr. Weird created the trio.
