BeforeSmiling Friends,Aqua Teen Hunger ForcewasAdult Swim’s resident chaotic trip of a cartoon. The series featured sentient food ostensibly operating as a superhero team (hence the name), though they never actually get around to fighting crime. Their neighbour, Carl (Willis), is a human and frequently has a contentious relationship with the team due to their antics.
Aqua Teen Hunger Forceemploys negative continuity a laThe Simpsons.Characters may die and return in the next episode with no comment or consequence. Master Shake (Dana Snyder), the sentient milkshake, is often the cause of various misfortunes due to his selfish and idiotic nature. Frylock (Carey Means), a box of french fries, serves as the show’s voice of reason, while Meatwad (also Willis), a meatball creature, is a childlike and naive member of the household.
Aqua Teen Hunger Forceisa certified Adult Swim classic. The series was one of the network’s first efforts untilRobot Chickensupplanted it in 2019. There’s plenty of time to catch up before the new episodes drop, and the series is probably one of the best distillations of whatAdult Swimis all about.
Aqua Teen Hunger Forceis available on HBO Max.
