3	Over it's [[LongRunners nearly 25 year run]], ''WesternAnimation/AquaTeenHungerForce'' has more than proven that it's just as capable of being [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome absurdly awesome]] as it is [[Funny/AquaTeenHungerForce absurdly funny]].
4	----

7	[[folder: Master Shake]]
8	* Anytime Shake [[EvenEvilHasStandards shows he actually has standards]] arguably counts, considering he's usually depicted as an utter bastard.
9	** One of the earliest examples is him calling out [[TokenGoodTeammate Frylock]] for [[Recap/AquaTeenHungerForceS1E9McPeePants killing MC Pee Pants]] on hypocritical grounds, then trying to justify it.
10	--> "Frylock": Look, he was never gonna make it in the outside world. He was brutally insane! Besides, he was an ''eight foot spider'' wearing a diaper!
11	-->'''Shake''': Who am I talking to? Because I don't ''know'' you.
12	** Similarly to the above, he makes it VERY clear that he [[WhatTheHellHero doesn't condone Frylock's actions]] in "Der Inflatable Fuhrer", even in spite of the latter dismissing the fact that Shake is outraged.
13	** Him point blank telling the [[ArcVillain hippie in]] "Skins" that what he's doing is wrong is probably one of the most notable examples in the entire series, bar none. The fact that he actually tries to stop him ([[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} in his own weird way, of course]]) from further taking advantage of the Wabosabis' plight is ''incredibly'' heroic for [[VillainProtagonist someone like]] [[NominalHero Shake]].
14	* Shake giving Allen ATasteOfTheirOwnMedicine by killing him with [[BoltOfDivineRetribution lightning]] at the end of ''[[Recap/AquaTeenHungerForceS8E1And2AllenPartOneAndTwo Allen, Part Two]]''. [[LaserGuidedKarma Considering what Allen did prior to his death, it's a well-deserved comeuppance;]] on top of that, it's one of the few examples of Shake ''actually being a hero'' to some degree.
15	** This exchange is also noteworthy, [[{{Jerkass}} given that it's Shake we're talking here]]:
16	--->'''Allen''': I talk a lot, I mean my dad says that. I wish he didn't exist!\
17	'''Shake''': Don't you '''EVER''' say that about your father! Do you know how much he sacrifices for you?!
18	* Shake's last words in the GrandFinale. [[HeroicSacrifice Not to mention how he sacrificed himself to save Meatwad from the man-eating clams]].
19	-->'''Master Shake''': [[FacingTheBulletsOneLiner AQUA TEEN HUNGER FORCE FOREVER!]]
20	* In "Love Mummy" the Aqua Teens find a mummy in their basement, who then manipulates Frylock and Meatwad with the threat of a curse to cater to it, however when the mummy comes face to face with Shake, he takes none of it, tells the mummy off, and when the mummy threatens him with his curse, Shake still doesn't care and ends with telling the mummy it better be out the house by tomorrow morning. Made even better when Shake isn't cursed at all by the end of the episode.
21	* Shake gets one when he steals Frylock's jewel and uses to fly away while causing several explosions in "Hoppy Bunny".
22	* In "Intervention", Shake is accidentally '''SLICED UP INTO SEVERAL SMALL CUBES''' and not only did Shake survive the whole thing, but he remained completely [[MajorInjuryUnderreaction nonchalant about it]].
23	* Although the entire episode is completely PlayedForLaughs, "Last Dance for Napkin Lad" is still notable in that Shake is uncharacteristically proactive and assertive in getting things done, which is quite surprising for an assholish LazyBum like him.
24	[[/folder]]
25
26	[[folder: Frylock]]
27	* Pretty much anytime he leaves [[{{Jerkass}} Shake]] to his well-deserved fate is cathartic, though him allowing Dr. Wongburger to abduct him at the end of "Hands on a Hamburger" is probably the most note-worthy example, especially since it's clear that Frylock only really got involved with the burger contest in the episode to spite Shake for all the times he's been an asshole.
28	* Frylock promises never to move back in with Shake and Meatwad, no matter how crappy his new life may be in "The" [[NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer (yes, that's the actual title)]]. Thanks to NegativeContinuity, he ends up going back on his word, but it's still very satisfying to see him ''finally'' lose his patience with his idiotic roommates.
29	-->'''Master Shake''': ''"Aren't you coming back?''"
30	-->'''Frylock''': ''"HELL, no!''"
31	* Frylock responds to the ''Robositter'' disobeying him by killing her with a juicer.
32	-->'''Frylock''': ''"You're liquefied, [[ThisIsForEmphasisBitch bitch!]]"''
33	* In "The Marines", Frylock foils the [[Franchise/{{Saw}} Jigsaw]] parody's plans by simply untying a twistee-tie.
34	* In "Der Inflatable Fuhrer", he does battle with numerous Nazi balloons, leaping about and popping them with a sharpened fry.
35	* "Super Sir Loin" has him flawlessly tricking MC Pee Pants/Sir Loin into entering a slaughterhouse in order to foil his plans for the episode.
36	* Him blowing up Shake and the friends he invited to a get-together at the end of "Bible Fruit" is arguably one of the most satisfying moments in the series, thanks to Frylock's complete apathy and Meatwad's total willingness to go along with it.
37	-->'''Meatwad''': ''(sitting in a tire)'' Alright, what am I doing?\
38	'''Frylock''': Are you grounded?\
39	'''Meatwad''': Yeah, I think so...\
40	'''Frylock''': Alright. ''(hands Meatwad two lengths of wire)'' Now touch the red wire to the green wire.\
41	'''Meatwad''': But what about Shake?\
42	'''Frylock''': What ''about'' him?\
43	''({{Beat}})''\
44	'''Meatwad''': Heh, that's what I say, yo. [[StuffBlowingUp Ba-ba-BOOM!]]\
45	'''''[[StuffBlowingUp BOOM!]]'''''
46	* It's partly PlayedForLaughs, but the end of "Multiple Meat" is still notable in that Frylock obtains the most success he's gotten in the series up to that point, which includes purchasing the New York Giants and marrying Cheryl Tiegs. [[PayEvilUntoEvil He also deliberately sets Shake up to be trapped with essentially a million Meatwads incessantly singing a "Bottles of Beer" song, for good measure.]]
47	* Similarly to the above, "Vampirus" has him managing to become rich, thanks to the garlic-themed toiletries he'd created to deal with the vampire invasion going on.
48	* In "Chicken and Beans", Meatwad's ego inflates after a video of him vomiting during his performance of the eponymous song goes viral thanks to Shake. After Meatwad's breakdown on stage, Frylock confronts him and grounds him. The awesomeness shows when Frylock smiles after telling Meatwad that he's grounded.
49	* Frylock blowing up the bus in "Party Bus":
50	-->'''Frylock''': ''"RIDE THE BUS TO BUS HELL, [[RedundancyDepartmentOfRedundancy YOU BUS!]]''"
51	* Frylock vs. Dr. Weird in TheMovie. Not to mention the fact the ATHF and Dr. Weird are in the same scenes together.
52	[[/folder]]
53
54	[[folder: Meatwad]]
55	* Anytime he [[TheDogBitesBack gets vengeance on Shake]] for the latter's douchebaggery is '''glorious''' to watch. There's quite a few times where this happens, to boot:
56	** "Balloonenstein" is the first episode in the series dedicated to Meatwad dishing out payback to Shake, and it's as hilarious as it is satisfying to watch.
57	-->'''Meatwad''': ''"DO NOT INSULT WHAT LITTLE INTELLIGENCE I HAVE.''"
58	** The end of "Super Hero" is an understated, but nonetheless good example; Meatwad terrifying Shake by giving him a mirror so the latter can look at himself.
59	** "Super Bowl" involves Meatwad unintentionally driving Shake to make a total ass of himself in order to get a chance to go to the titular Super Bowl with him. It ends with Shake giving himself diabetes and cancer from gorging on Enchiladitos, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and Meatwad going to the farm instead]].
60	** Meatwad spends the '''entirety''' of "Super Model" [[ManipulativeBastard playing on Shake's insecurities and ultra-inflated ego]] by convincing the latter to go through with [[MeatgrinderSurgery gruesome plastic surgeries]]. It's absurdly dark, and would be a MoralEventHorizon for anyone else, [[AssholeVictim were Shake not the victim]]. The episode in a nutshell is among the biggest examples of Meatwad's [[HiddenDepths surprising cunning]] when it comes to fucking with his roommate.
61	** The end of "Total Re-Carl", with Meatwad blowing a terrified Shake to bits via the mech suit Frylock built for Carl. It's such a badass moment for the little guy, that it's actually pictured at the top of the page!
62	-->'''Meatwad''': ''"[[BondOneLiner Fart you, butthole.]]''"
63	** Meatwad becoming a ControlFreak in "T-Shirt of the Living Dead", and [[ForcedTransformation transforming Shake into a reindeer]] is pretty great to watch, considering the latter's usual dickish behavior at the beginning of the episode.
64	** Him tricking Rudy into killing Shake at the end of "Carl" is equally as funny as it is cathartic.
65	** Him tricking [[TooDumbToLive Shake into eating a scorpion]] in "Party All the Time" is another example of his ability to effectively play on Shake's InsaneTrollLogic and [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} demented thought process]].
66	-->'''Frylock''': ''"What's wrong with him?''"
67	-->'''Meatwad''': ''"He's dead. Dumbass ate a scorpion.''"
68	** Him ''[[EyeScream tearing out Shake's eyes]]'' in "Laser Lenses" is gruesomely hardcore, to the point where even Frylock and Carl are shocked.
69	-->'''Meatwad''': ''"[[BadassBoast I got what I need. And now I think I'm gonna tell you what I want.]]''"
70	-->'''Carl''': ''"Uuuuugh, Meatman! You took his friggin' eyeballs out?! Awww, that's intense!''"
71	*** The moment preceding it is more subtle, yet no less badass; when Shake [[DeathGlare glares at Meatwad]] for trying to take back Frylock's contacts, Meatwad himself just ''glares right back''. It's pretty clear that Meatwad had every intention of going to extremes the moment he entered the room.
72	** "Bookie" is yet another episode dedicated to Meatwad utilizing HiddenDepths (in this case, betting smarts) in order to torment Shake for the latter's overconfidence and assholery. The fact that [[PetTheDog Carl is actually on the former's side in all this]] is the icing on the cake.
73	** "Shaketopia" has him fighting in a virtual reality with Shake; he turns into [[Film/{{Blade}} Wesley Snipes from Blade]], and holds Shake up at sword point. The most notable part of this is him making Shake consider sharing for a change, rather than be his [[{{Jerkass}} usual self]].
74	* The shared SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome he has with Frylock in "Bible Fruit", described above.
75	* "Pregnant" Meatwad from the episode "Gee Whiz", in which he goes on a tirade aimed at Frylock and Master Shake that gets increasingly loud and increasingly foul-mouthed, leaving them absolutely speechless.
76	"How hard can it mother-fing be?! Ice mother-fing-cream! I guess that's the price I pay for living with two f*ing morons!"
77	** The icing on the cake being that every obscenity was bleeped with non-standard sound effects and a big red "X" appearing on-screen each time.
78	* Meatwad transforming into a hurricane in "Rabbot Redux". It's a LOT more cool than it probably sounds.
79
80	[[/folder]]
81	[[folder: Carl]]
82	* Carl gets one in "Deleted Scenes", where after getting [[ItMakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext a broom shoved]] [[AssShove up his ass]], ''finally'' TheDogBitesBack and he rolls up to Shake's little behind the scenes venue
83	-->''[[DramaticGunCock (Dramatic Gun Cock)]]''
84	-->'''Shake''': Ah! Carl! So you found a little ''prop gun'' there for yourself!
85	-->'''Carl''': Nah, nah, nah; it's not, uh, it's not a ''prop gun'', it's a '''''SHOT GUN.''''' They use it for, um...''for'' '''''DEATH.'''''
86	-->'''Meatwad''': Do we have any more time, then?
87	-->'''Carl''': ...''[[ImpliedDeathThreat Well, YOU do.]]''
88	-->'''Meatwad''': Because I wanna roll...''"Meatwad's Sensation Celebration''...''Disco'' P-''Party-Time"''.
89	-->'''Carl''': [[PetTheDog Go 'head, knock yourself out.]]
90	-->''[[ScrewThisImOuttaHere (Shake tries sneaking away only for Carl to stop him)]]''
91	-->'''Shake:''' ''(Nervously)'' Hey, Carl!
92	-->'''Carl:''' ''(Sticks him up)'' Alright, knucklehead. Why don't we roll that clip again? ''[[TranquilFury I want you to show me the]]'' '''''[[TranquilFury moment I get pissed off at you.]]'''''
93	* Carl using his nunchucks in "Merlo Sauvignon Blanco".
94	* Carl gets one at the end of "Robots Everywhere" when he plays "[[GatlingGood count the bullets]]" with the robots.
95	* Carl using the Foreigner Belt on the Mooninites: "[[http://video.adultswim.com/aqua-teen-hunger-force/carl-gets-the-foreigner-belt.html I don't need no instructions to KNOW HOW TO ROCK!]]"
96	* Carl taking out Marcula in ''Couples Skate'' with the garlic champagne.
97	* In "Muscles", Carl has his house broken in and many of his possessions destroyed by Master Shake's sentient muscles, who demands that Carl gives him more muscle drinks. When Muscles is eventually given a can of "Blueberry Butt-Rape", Carl states, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wg35NlghZZE without breaking a sweat]], that the drinks aren't free. Keep in mind, this is ''after'' Muscles had already broken much of his living room up and threatened him in the previous scene.
98	-->'''Carl''': [[PunctuatedForEmphasis Fourteen. American. Dollars.]] (''Muscles gives him a [[DeathGlare Death Glare]] as Carl doesn't change his expression, only to suddenly look stern'') '''Did I stutter?'''
99	-->'''Muscles''': [[MoodWhiplash Oh... shoot!]] I don't have fourteen dollars. (''looks up to Shake'') Um... do you have fourteen dollars?
100	-->'''Master Shake''': [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments Don't look at me, I'm broke.]]
101	* In ''Handbanana's Demise'', it looks like Carl is suffering from UsefulNotes/StockholmSyndrome and acts in an ArentYouGoingToRavishMe manner when Handbanana is seemingly showing a lack of interest in, but it turns out to be a ruse to trick HB into violating him, as he put a pint of Godzilla Glue into his underwear to trap HB, so he can drag HB off to the vet to be spayed, neutered, and possibly put to sleep.
102	-->'''Carl:''' [[IronicEcho "Tonight, you."]] Ain't that what you said? ''Ain't that what you said to me!?!?''"
103	** Okay, Carl's too much of a cheapskate to actually do it, so he settles for leaving Handbanana glued to his butt until HB dies of old age as he's 14 years old (that's like 80 in dog years as Carl puts it).
104	* In '''Get Lit Upon a Situpon''' Carl after falling for a prank from the Situpon, uses the bungee cords Frylock had used to strap him to the Situpon to viciously beat Shake after the latter realized it was a prank to begin with. It's an interesting case of the dog bites back from Carl.

107	[[folder: Other Moments]]
108	* "Gentlemen...behold!" Cut to a stack of amplifiers, all hooked up to an electric guitar he's wearing. "ARE YOU READY TO [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic ROCK]]?!"
109	* Major Shake, the titular ''Bad Replicant'' of his episode, gets one just for being so calm about his existence.
110	* The entirety of "Gee Whiz", a parody about American broadcast standards and practices. They couldn't let the characters get away with saying Jesus (hence referring to Jesus as "Gee Whiz") features a nun getting her head blown off with a rainbow coming out of her neck, and George Lowe's voiceover saying, ''"acceptable."'' Now that's just damn funny!
111	* Dr. Weird and Steve vs. phone solicitation. The episode opens up with a local contractor calling Dr. Weird's laboratory advertising home improvements. When it goes to voice mail, Dr. Weird orders Steve to "send the phone-spiders!". Steve drops a few into the line, which promptly attack the contractor.
112	-->'''Dr. Weird''': I guess we're ''not'' interested! [[EvilLaugh Hahahahahah!]]
113	* "Last Dance For Napkin Lad." All of it. This was the last episode aired when the show was renamed ''Aqua Unit Patrol Squad 1'', and the crew finally allowed the title to live up to its name.
114	* The first three minutes of the movie, consisting of a parody of the classic "Let's All Go To The Lobby" singing-food ads. It's filled with double entendres, gives way to ''single'' entendres, and is then rapidly [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xo9v_GIuDBk hijacked by]] '''Music/{{Mastodon}}'''.
