Aqua Teen Hunger Force

Well, after finding a few fans of the show in another unrelated thread, I thought I would make a thread about it. Just for starters though, i'm new [just made an account yesterday] but i've been a lurker for quite some time. So, hello.

Back to the topic at hand... :nerd:

If you haven't heard of the show until this thread, you should definitely check it out. It airs on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim every sunday night at 12:00 am. Then it airs Monday - Thursday at 12:00 - 12:30 am.

I absolutely adore this show and I think it's one of the most hilarious shows on television. Family Guy was my #1 before I stumbled upon this gem.

I just wanted to see if there were some other fans of it here.

If you are, share whom your favorite character is [if you can pick one] and perhaps what your favorite episode(s) is/are?

Here's a link to a fan site about the show....complete with some episode guides and other random information about it: Aqua Teen Central: #2 in the hood, G

Aqua Teen Hunger Force is a pretty sweet show, I've seen a ton of episodes. I like there neightbor Carl, he's badass. He paints his above ground swimming pool with racing flames, and he's like "It looks like my pool's tearin' ass around the yard." ....I guess you would have to see it.

Ok, I have to agree there. Family Guy AND The Daily Show

#186102

Watch KIDS SHOW darnit!

#186109

where's kids show from? pretty funny, never heard of it.

#186202

I got the same question, although I didn't think it was that funny, more annoying with all the adult baby talk. Who the hell would pay for this SH*T. It's got to be Candian...

#186205

Just making the rounds with some comments here.

It's both Eastern and Pacific actually. It airs at 12/3 every Mon-Thur + Sundays. So, if you watch it at 12 EST, you can catch it again at 3 EST when we on the PST get to watch it at 12 PST.

I'm sorry, but nothing beats Family Guy.

It's an amazing show, can't argue that. It's still one of my favorites. But, it's hard to compare the two because, Aqua Teens is a different kind of humor.

Funny you mention that. I've heard some people compare it to Seinfield in some aspects. I never really got into Seinfield but, from what I did see, I thought it was hilarious.

To each is own. It's definitely worth checking out. It might seem odd at first but, if you keep an open mind, you'll enjoy it.

Oh how I dearly love my adult swim. It's me and Zpod's bonding time. No video games, just me and him and funny cartoons. Can't beat that.

yeah i agree. my favorite character is meatwad, btw.

#186455

Personally, I saw a couple eps of this show and wasn't too impressed.

Birdman and Spaceghost are all right, but my top 3 shows to watch weeknights remain Family Guy, Futurama, and the Daily Show (even though I'm Canadian, I love that show. )

#186481

I like everything adult swim related (well nearly, see Baby Blues, it sucks in my opinion). The Daily Show with John Stewart is funny also.

#188645

ok, i saw this show the other day, and i have to admit it was p retty drn funny

#188656

what about trailor park boys ?

#188728

I just saw my first episode of that show, and I was pretty dissapointed. At 15 minutes a pop, I guess it's worth a few more chances. Maybe the one I saw was one of the lesser episodes.

#189364

Alright, well I don't post much but Holy Cow I have to now.

Why do you have to decide what the "best" show is?

Truth is,

ATHF, Futurama, Space Ghost, Beavis and Butthead, Ren and Stimpy, Southpark, Simpsons, King of the Hill, Sealab, etc. all have their place.

I don't really care when people say "I dont like ____" but when you try and make some vague argument that ____ is better than ____ it's pretty retarded.

It's like me saying: "Mexican food is the best food....Italian is crap."

Anyways, aren't we lucky we can watch all of it?

As far as ATHF goes...I love the show, and I do think it is an aquired taste.

I must admit some of the episodes don't hold my attention like others but that's true with most shows. Make sure you watch any eps with the Mooninites/MC Pee Pants (MC Chris) if your looking for some really good examples of how great the show can be. Personally, with the ATHF season 1 dvd out...I'd suggest renting (or buying) it and watching them in order for the full effect.

The show has a lot of the odd "college geek humor" that SGC2C had, so if you have never seen ATHF use Space Ghost as a "your type of humor" measuring stick. And of course, if you like ATHF/SGC2C....chances are you will like Sealab 2021 as well.

Alrighty, well there you have my 3 cents.

P.S. Dailyshow vs ATHF...ATHF is animated way better...except for Lewis Black...who I admit is more animated than Meatwad.

P.P.S. The color blue is way better than a taco.

If you re-read my post, I said that Family Guy was my #1 show before I stumbled upon ATHF. I don't believe I dubbed it the best show on television, rather one of the most hilarious.

All of the shows listed there are all great.
