Aqua Teen Hunger Force - ATHF

>stoner tier comedy
true. The show actually holds up pretty well sober too. somehow, for me at least

>Is there a method behind the madness
Yes. Master Shake, Meatwad, Frylock and Carl all have unique personalities that are simple yet unique and play off each other perfectly.
The voice acting and timing is also absolutely perfect, I don't know how they make the dialogue flow so well leaving it feeling really natural.
That's probably ATHF's secret where a lot of other absurdist cartoons fail, the characters are simple and talk like real people while the world they inhabit is crazy.
It works for many of the same reasons The Mighty Boosh also worked.

I always thought it was “Shake zula” when I was younger, so it was just imprinted in my mind.

It IS Shake Zula, the mic ruler, you want a drink, I'll bring it to ya!

>LUL SO RANDUMB
It's not random at all. The characters dynamic is simple but well considered and it's why they got so much mileage out of it. Xavier: Renegade Angel is actually random.

It's you want a trip though

It's called being retarded.

Which episode of Aqua Teen is the most dated?

Probably the one with Boost Mobile.

>It's not random at all.
This is patently untrue

I hated this show when I was growing up, but for whatever reason when I got my first job at 17 and would come home at midnight/1am after working late shifts and watch I started to love it.

Where you at dawg?

There are nuggets of absolute gold buried in the dialogue. Most of the humor comes from how they're delivered instead of the lines themselves. Some personal favorites of mine are:
>"And you're going to plug him in?"
>"MY METAL BOY!"
>"I want my name to be Spaghetti".
>"What are Standards and Practices?"

You'd think Tumblr would hate this show, but they don't.

Apparently some girls consider Shake to be fuckable. There's hope for us all.

I guess they're attracted to the voice, that's the only plausible explanation.

Nostalgia

It's not random in the classic lulsorandum sense, it's more like something between satire and creative anarchy. The show works because the scenarios are random and nonsensical but all the characters play it straight and treat these scenarios with a sense of routine.

Also a huge reason on why the show works is the dialogue. The dialogue between characters borders on genius in terms of comedic timing and deadpan humor.

Yeah at some point the fantastical scenarios and eccentric characters become routine but the dialog is absolutely phenomenal. Here's one of my favorite:

>Master Shake is yo' slave name!
>Well it does have "Master" in it

Thanks, I hate it.

You don't like Aqua Teen Hunger Force: Beach City Nights edition?

Shake is an asshole who is punished and the show portrays him as a loser

I haven't thought about Dusty Gozongas in at least 10 years.

The longest running joke in the show is that select food items are sentient, formed a detective agency, and are sharing a bungalow together in a white-trash neighborhood and no one bats an eye at this turn of events. It works because the entire premise is absurd from the get-go. Why anyone would even entertain the thought of humanizing these characters is beyond me apart from the fujoshit value. Maybe I have to be a fujo or a massive faggot to appreciate it, I don't know.

Girls like men who make 'em laugh
