| 11 | [[caption-width-right:350:From left to right: [[OnlySaneMan Frylock]], [[InsaneTrollLogic Master Shake]], and [[{{Manchild}} Meatwad]]]] |
| 12 | A trio of sentient fast food products created by Dr. Weird, who reside in a ghetto house in a suburban neighborhood in New Jersey. They're always either getting into trouble, pestering their neighbor Carl, causing chaos or making each other's lives hell. |
| 13 | ------------ |
| 14 | * AllMenArePerverts: All three of them have displayed some interest in pornography, sexually clad women, and have tried to get laid at least once. Even ''Meatwad'', the most childlike and innocent of the trio, has shown hints of sexual desire. |
| 15 | * AnthropomorphicFood: They're all talking fast food products. Though in Shake's case, it's more like Anthropomorphic '''Drink'''. |
| 16 | * AntiHeroTeam: All three of them are some shade of AntiHero, though [[NominalHero Master]] [[{{Jerkass}} Shake]] is the most prevalent example by a mile. |
| 17 | * AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: Every so often, they'll legitimately show they care about each other and come together. It's more common between Meatwad and Frylock, but even Shake has shown he does care in his own twisted way at times. |
| 18 | * ButtMonkey: Needless to say, the Aqua Teens are no stranger to comical abuse and bad luck. Master Shake is a [[InsufferableImbecile dimwitted prick]] who frequently suffers from (usually self-inflicted) karma, Frylock is constantly forced to deal with the destructive antics of his roommates, when he's not being killed or put through the wringer through no fault of his own, and Meatwad is often abused by Shake in a variety of ways. Not to mention that they're all [[TheyKilledKennyAgain regularly killed]] and suffer from PerpetualPoverty, to the point that they resort to eating ''dog food'' to survive. |
| 19 | * CharacterizationMarchesOn: The trio's characterization is wildly different from their initial appearance in [[WesternAnimation/SpaceGhostCoastToCoast "Baffler Meal"]]. Meatwad has a catchphrase ("The bun is in your mind") that he never uses again and is [[DeathSeeker suicidally depressed over being an abomination]], Frylock is just a guy in a mascot costume with NoIndoorVoice, and the gem on his back is replaced with an amulet that supposedly lets him detect hungry children, and while Shake is the most consistent with his ATHF self, he has Ignignokt's voice and his flavor is chocolate instead of pistachio. |
| 20 | * {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Meatwad and Shake are firmly this. Frylock is generally sane, but has his own moments of weirdness that reminds the viewer he's still an ''Aqua Teen''. |
| 21 | * ColorCodedCharacters: They all have two, and each of their color's correspond to the other's. |
| 22 | ** Shake: White and pink. |
| 23 | ** Frylock: Red and yellow. |
| 24 | ** Meatwad: Pink and brown. |
| 25 | * ComicTrio: A classic example. More often than not, episodes revolve around Shake coming up with moronic and dangerous schemes that are doomed to either fail or result in needless death and destruction. He tends to rope in Meatwad, who, by nature, is too naive and stupid to understand that Shake is trying to exploit him. Frylock is the OnlySaneMan who tries to curb Shake's worst tendencies and shield Meatwad from Shake's malicious intent. |
| 26 | * CruelAndUnusualDeath: They've fallen to these too many times to count. |
| 27 | * DeadpanSnarker: All three of them are prone to wise-cracks and sarcastic observations, though Frylock is the most traditional example, due to his roommates' [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} out-there mindsets]]. |
| 28 | * EatenAlive: Being that they're talking food, they've inevitably suffered this fate at times. [[spoiler:In the end of ''Plantasm'', where Carl goads the starving survivors to eat the Aqua Teens since they are literally gigantic edible food. Though Master Shake gets brought back to life by Markula in TheStinger]]. |
| 29 | * ExtremeOmnivore: Although they've been seen eating normal food, many episodes imply that the Aqua Teens eat pet food due to their lack of money. This is evident when Meatwad brings up how they've been eating nothing but dog food for the past week in "Lasagna", and in "Zucotti Manicotti" when Frylock puts Prozac in Meatwad's wet cat food, whereas Shake is eating a dry bag of it. |
| 30 | * LaserGuidedAmnesia: The first film reveals Shake and Meatwad forgot their entire origin because they were too busy playing on their Gameboys. |
| 31 | * LesserOfTwoEvils: Astoundingly, they're this for Carl. For all the grief he suffers for being their neighbor, they generally don't mean him any harm (at least, Frylock and Meatwad don't, anyway) and will help him out when he's in trouble due to other bizarre occurrences. The Markula episodes particularly highlight how much better the Aqua Teens are to have around than any of the other crazy beings that inhabit the world. |
| 32 | * NiceMeanAndInBetween: |
| 33 | ** Nice - Meatwad. Due to his childlike innocence, he is by far the sweetest and most kind-hearted member of the Aqua Teens, and his occasional rudeness is done out of naivety and [[InnocentlyInsensitive insensitivity]]. ''[[TheDogBitesBack Most]]'' [[AxCrazy of it]], anyway. |
| 34 | ** Mean - Master Shake is a complete asshole who only cares about and does things for himself, manipulates others in order to get his way, commits atrocities, psychologically torments Meatwad ForTheEvulz, and in general has few redeeming qualities. |
| 35 | ** In-Between - Frylock is usually the most rational and articulate member of the trio, and generally just as nice as Meatwad. However, he has the odd JerkassBall moment; don't believe it? Just watch the episode "Fry Legs". In addition, Meatwad's stupidity often causes Frylock to snap and swear at him, though he usually apologizes when Meatwad expresses his hurt feelings. Also, like the other two members of the trio, he's not above invading Carl's pool without permission, and can be a bit of an InsufferableGenius with a [[SmallNameBigEgo big ego]] at times. |
| 36 | * NonIndicativeName: They aren't teenagers, and they have nothing to do with water outside of lounging in Carl's pool. |
| 37 | * PerpetualPoverty: It's been painfully clear that the Aqua Teens live in a constant state of poverty. Their house is run down and rented for dirt cheap, it has no bathroom, Shake has to sleep on a recliner and has no room to himself, Meatwad's room is totally empty of furniture and is torn to pieces, they make occasional complaints that their water supply has been shut off and they have to eat pet food over any actual food. Frylock's room is the exception, filled with rows of books, a computer, a clean bed and is well maintained overall, but he still makes frequent note of how they can't afford fixing any damages caused by Shake and Meatwad's schemes. |
| 38 | * ThePiratesWhoDontDoAnything: They were established to be detectives early on in the show, but only the first few episodes and a couple Season 8 episodes showed them doing actual detective work. Otherwise, they're usually seen dicking around, causing chaos or driving each other insane. Season 2 even has Frylock lampshade that they aren't actually detectives. |
| 39 | * TheyKilledKennyAgain: All of them have died at one point or another, but due to the series' NegativeContinuity, they always appear alive again in subsequent episodes - or even in the next scene of the same episode. Shake dies more than the other two, [[AssholeVictim though he usually deserves it for being a dick]]. |
| 40 | * TrueCompanions: [[DependingOnTheWriter Sometimes]]. Whenever the Aqua Teens (mostly Shake, though Meatwad and Frylock have their moments) aren't directly screwing each other over or letting the others dig their own graves, they will come together and show they care about each other. |
| 41 | * VagueAge: None of their ages have been specified. Shake describes himself as "thirty or forty years old" (despite acting like a teenager)[[note]]"Well, which one? Is you thirty, or forty?"[[/note]], and Meatwad has been identified as both an actual child and mentally deficient (or as Meatwad himself puts it, "retarded") on more than one occasion. In any case, WordOfGod says Dr. Weird is their creator, so they must be around the same ages. |
| 42 | * VitriolicBestBuds: It varies HEAVILY from episode to episode, though the three of them ultimately care about each other's well-being when the chips are down, in spite of their endless bickering. |
| 43 | * WeirdnessMagnet: The trio can't go a week without encountering weirdos, supernatural monsters, or extraterrestrials that either wreak havoc or annoy the shit out of them. |
| 44 | * WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: |
| 45 | ** The show seems to play with this concept, as very broad human things such as sex and sexuality, biology, justice and citizenship are topics for episodes that subvert expectations. Frylock seems to tip this trope more than the others, as his centric episodes and plotlines explore how being a monster with a human brain effect him. |
| 46 | ** For example, when the guys look for friends, actual romantic partners, citizenships and careers, their non human identity is usually what holds them back, despite having human brains (well...some of them). Some episodes make it seem like they have a chance and were just considered unattractive, such as 'Frylegs', 'Big Bro', 'Frieda and Mail Order Bride', 'She Creature', 'Knapsack' (A human woman is willing to have sex with Meatwad, even if she's being paid), 'Rabbit, not Rabbot', and 'Carl', while others would have you believe that their kind have to pose as humans to even be seen and respected, like 'Bible Fruit', 'Super Model', and 'MC Pee Pants', which all involve Monsters posing as humans or being rejected by them. |

| 50 | ->''Shake-zula, the mic rul-a, the old school-a, you want a trip? I'll bring it to ya!'' |
| 51 | [[quoteright:270:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/p185307_n514094_cc_v3_aa_6423.jpg]] |
| 52 | [[caption-width-right:270:"''I will never get the credit that I deserve for the attention-grabbing things that I do.''"]] |
| 53 | !!!'''Voiced by: Creator/DanaSnyder''' |
| 54 | |
| 55 | A giant, talking milkshake, and the self-proclaimed leader of the group. He's a [[ItsAllAboutMe self-centered]], profoundly insensitive, and ''[[TheDitz incredibly]]'' [[TheDitz stupid]] person who [[SmallNameBigEgo thinks he's far more awesome than he actually is]]. |
| 56 | ---- |
| 57 | * AbusiveParents: To his bastard son Ezekiel, who is also a milkshake. Despite Ezekiel being a child, Shake tries to drown him as to avoid raising him, and verbally abused him for either not being good at basketball despite having never played if before, or mock him for a violation at tennis even though they're on the same team. Then it's subverted when [[spoiler:Ezekiel isn't just not his son, but is older than him. Also, Shake is a virgin]]. |
| 58 | * AccidentalPervert: At the end of "Dickesode", Shake accidentally eats Carl's dick out of the trash, mistaking it for a hot dog. |
| 59 | * AlasPoorVillain: On '''very''' rare occasions, Shake's death will actually be mourned by the other Aqua Teens and treated tragically, such as in "Muscles" and "Jiggalo". The situations are generally utterly ridiculous, but still somewhat sad because of how genuinely his friends mourn him. |
| 60 | * AmbiguouslyBi: It's at least partly based on RuleOfFunny, but still very much present: |
| 61 | ** He makes no secret of his attraction to beautiful women and repeatedly makes claims about his ([[HaveIMentionedIAmSexuallyActiveToday supposed]]) sexual prowess towards ladies, but he also once masturbated to Carl being raped by dogs, none of them being female. |
| 62 | ** He also gets a little ''too'' into his FakeOutMakeOut ploy with Meatwad in "The Marines", notably after driving away homophobic military helicopters. |
| 63 | ** In "Freda", when Frylock shows Meatwad how he programmed the titular robot to share Shake's interests, the computer lists some of his interests like boobs, butts... and boners(?). ''Question mark included.'' |
| 64 | ** In "Reedickyoulus", he has unprotected sex with a [[BestialityIsDepraved zombie-infected gorilla]] that is presumably male, gets infected with a zombie STD, and ends up joining all the other zombie gorillas in their "Gay Zombie Ape Party Bus". |
| 65 | * AndThereWasMuchRejoicing: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]], as they don't particularly celebrate it, but whenever Shake dies, nobody really gives a shit. |
| 66 | -->'''Frylock:''' Meatwad.. Master Shake is dead. |
| 67 | -->'''Meatwad:''' ''({{Beat}})'' That's good. |
| 68 | * AntiHero: A '''very''' firm NominalHero, and easily the most morally bankrupt of the Aqua Teens. Master Shake is one of the most vile, lazy, obnoxious "heroes" to ever walk the face of the Earth, and regularly shows that he couldn't lead an ant out of an anthill. |
| 69 | * AntiRoleModel: Shake is by ''no'' means a character one should want to be like, given that he's a completely selfish, obnoxious, attention-seeking, heartless jerk with little redeeming qualities. |
| 70 | * ArmoredClosetGay: He's quite homophobic and casually uses the word gay as an insult, but it's heavily implied he's bisexual. The fact that he's shown to be fine with having sex with males is quite telling. |
| 71 | * AttentionWhore: Always does stupid shit for the sole purpose of seeking attention; just look at the quote above. Shake setting the ''entire city on fire'' in "The Super Hero" with the intent to gain some publicity is just one of many examples. |
| 72 | * AssholeVictim: Whenever he meets his end, it's usually well-deserved. |
| 73 | * AxCrazy: Shake is a PsychopathicManchild who is not afraid to terrorize Meatwad and chase him around the house with various weapons. |
| 74 | * AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: Every once in a blue moon, Shake will show he genuinely does care about the other Aqua Teens and Carl. [[PlayedForLaughs Of course]], he cares about them mostly because he enjoys tormenting them more than anyone else, but he will still occasionally show sincere affection in his own way. His [[PetTheDog genuine concern for Frylock when he shows strong signs of cancer]], and [[HeroicSacrifice saving Meatwad from]] [[ItMakesSenseInContext rabid clams]] are the most notable examples. |
| 75 | --> ''"You never really know what you have until it leaves because you chase it around with a ball-peen hammer."'' |
| 76 | * BadPeopleAbuseAnimals: He microwaved many of Meatwad's pets to mess with him; although, it was done mostly in a played-for-laughs kind of way. Some of his other favorite pastimes include exploding ducks and wailing on frogs. |
| 77 | * TheBarnum: Being the massive jerk he is, Shake will always try to screw others over by tricking them of their confidence. Though, due to his low success rate, he may as well be called a "Barnum Wannabe". |
| 78 | * BerserkButton: At his most dickish, Meatwad's very presence angers him. |
| 79 | * BelievingTheirOwnLies: He's a CompulsiveLiar with a loose grip on reality. He'll often make up lies for his own benefit, then start acting as if they were true. A notable example is "Bus of the Undead", where he spins a story about how the school bus parked outside the Aqua Teen's house is "a [[OurVampiresAreDifferent reverse vampire]]" and "possessed by the ghost of {{Dracula}}". Despite the fact that it's complete bullshit, he proceeds to spend the rest of the episode acting as if it were true, to the point where he runs screaming back into the house after a failed attempt to impale the bus with a stake. |
| 80 | * BestialityIsDepraved: He has sex with numerous zombie animals in "Reedickyoulos" to the point of joining them in a gay orgy, and masturbates to Carl being gang-raped by dogs. |
| 81 | * BetterToDieThanBeKilled: After joining the Marines, Shake shoots himself in the head so he won't have to serve. They're somehow able to stitch his head back together and force him to do it anyway. |
| 82 | * BigBad: [[DownplayedTrope The closest thing the series has to one, anyway.]] Shake is one of the protagonists, but tends to either be responsible for the problems the Aqua Teens face or the one escalating them into being irreparable ([[NegativeContinuity until the end of the episode, anyway]]). |
| 83 | * BigEater: He has a huge appetite, seeing as how he hogs the Thanksgiving table in "The Dressing" and devours the food like a pig. |
| 84 | * BlatantLies: Shake is very fond of telling these, even when it is of no profit for him to do so. |
| 85 | * TheBlindLeadingTheBlind: Shake will frequently attempt to impart knowledge to Meatwad, in spite of being equally (and sometimes even more) dumb. |
| 86 | * BoomerangBigot: He disparagingly calls Willie Nelson gay and clearly means it as an insult. Another episode has Shake have sex with a male zombie gorilla and later join a group of zombies in a gay orgy. He also hates immigrants despite admitting he's not from America in the same breath. |
| 87 | * BrightIsNotGood: He's a white milkshake cup with a pink straw, but you'll certainly find nothing "heroic" about him. |
| 88 | * BrilliantButLazy: Master Shake is unapologetically lazy and refuses to do anything on his own, expecting it to be done by someone else. However, on occasion, he's shown that when motivated by self-gain or sick pleasure, he's capable of many things. |
| 89 | ** During "Dirtfoot", he managed to not only make a well, but build and decorate an entire living quarter at the bottom, complete with an elevator, furnished kitchen, and working television in the span of 24 hours. All of this was in an attempt to make himself look like he's in danger to attract women, which amounted to having his hand stuck in something he can easily free himself from, from an icemaker to the mailbox. |
| 90 | ** From "Lasagna", he's shown to actually be a very impressive cook, having made a very appetizing lasagna judging by Carl's obsession with eating it. However, he's constantly complaining about a lack of food and not having money despite possessing such skills. Clearly, he only puts the effort into such a thing if it can satisfy his sadistic pleasures. Hell, Shake ''threw away'' the lasagna, completely untouched and uneaten once he thought Carl would not be tempted by it anymore -- despite the Aqua Teens at this point being reduced to eating ''pet food'' to survive. |
| 91 | * TheBully: Shake gets his kicks out of abusing and messing with Meatwad. |
| 92 | * BullyingADragon: Shake has a nasty habit of antagonizing supernatural and extraterrestrial beings that could rip him a new asshole without any effort. |
| 93 | * CallousnessTowardsEmergency: Whenever someone's very life is in danger and Shake is nearby, he's too much of a callous jerk to save them. Case in point, when Carl inadvertently shoots himself in the foot in "Super Squatter", Shake does nothing to help and instead makes smartass remarks about Carl's health. Just when it seems that he is about to call the doctor, Shake instead uses this as an opportunity to call a restaurant and mess with Carl. |
| 94 | * CantHoldHisLiquor: Got completely wasted from one bottle of beer in "Frat Aliens". |
| 95 | * CasanovaWannabe: Granted, [[JustifiedTrope he's a giant cup]], which a lot of chicks aren't into. Even beyond that, though, he couldn't make a single woman go gaga for him to save his life. |
| 96 | * CharacterCatchphrase: Early seasons gave him "Yeah, well Dracula called and he's coming over tonight" when he's losing an argument and runs out of things to say. |
| 97 | * CharacterizationMarchesOn: |
| 98 | ** In the first few episodes, he was genuinely committed to his job as a detective and legitimately tried to get things done. For the majority of the series afterwards, Shake is an ENORMOUS LazyBum. |
| 99 | ** The first season depicted him as genuinely being the leader of the Aqua Teens, albeit an extremely incompetent and abusive one. The following seasons had Frylock as the head of the household while Shake deluded himself into believing he was the leader, despite Frylock and (sometimes) Meatwad generally refusing to follow his orders. |
| 100 | * {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: {{Understatement}} of the century. Shake is perpetually in his own little world, and seems to completely lack self-awareness and common sense. There's rarely an episode that goes by without him coming up with some sort of insane idea out of nowhere. |
| 101 | * CoolBigBro: Every now and again, he'll act like this towards Meatwad, [[JerkWithAHeartOfJerk even if it's only for his own warped pleasure]] or some sort of other [[InsaneTrollLogic weird reason]]. |
| 102 | * TheCuckoolanderWasRight: There are times when Shake's InsaneTrollLogic turns out to be true. |
| 103 | * {{Cuckoosnarker}}: Shake's a complete lunatic who bases his worldview on InsaneTrollLogic, but he's still a ''hell'' of a snarker. |
| 104 | * ConspicuousGloves: [[spoiler:One of the last lines of the penultimate episode -- before the epilogue, but as far as Shake is concerned, postmortem, is Meatwad showing Carl one of his gloves and saying that it looks like they'll never know why he wore them. "Sumbitch never did the dishes."]] |
| 105 | * ControlFreak: He is a leader in name only, however he still acts as if he's in control of everything. |
| 106 | * DefiantToTheEnd: He'll sometimes talk shit, even when he's about to meet a gruesome end, though it's a lot more out of [[TooDumbToLive stupidity]] than bravery. |
| 107 | * DependingOnTheWriter: Shake tends to run the gamut between a thorough JerkWithAHeartOfJerk, a [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold well-meaning asshole]], or an absolute maniac. The former and latter portrayals are a '''LOT''' more common, but it still applies. |
| 108 | * DepravedBisexual: He's implied to be bisexual and he's ''Shake'', meaning he falls into this by default. He has an extremely derogatory view of women and [[BestialityIsDepraved has a bestiality fetish]], even sleeping with numerous zombie gay gorillas in "Reedickyoulos" ([[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext yes, really]]). |
| 109 | * DidntThinkThisThrough: He never, EVER thinks his plans through. These include: using and advertising the e-helmet and its peripherals when cell phones are smaller and require none, making a new birthday song and expecting people will accept it and pay royalties so he can pay Zak Wylde for singing it, setting off nuclear missiles to make a wasteland instead of use Frylock's time machine to visit the stone age, etc. |
| 110 | * DirtyCoward: Shake's default response to conflict is to save his own ass however he can. The handful of occasions he shows a modicum of actual bravery are either [[DependingOnTheWriter outliers]] or him [[TooDumbToLive allowing his gross overconfidence to get the best of him]]. |
| 111 | * DisabilityAsAnExcuseForJerkassery: When Frylock berates Shake for using the eponymous remote to traumatize Meatwad in "Universal Remonster", Shake claims to have a disease to excuse his actions. [[BlatantLies It's Shake saying this, of course, so take it with a grain of salt.]] |
| 112 | -->'''Frylock:''' Last time I'm gonna tell you, Shake, ''stop doing that!'' |
| 113 | -->'''Shake:''' I can't, and you should respect my addiction. It's a disease. I need help, just not right now, okay? |
| 114 | * TheDitz: One if the '''biggest''' ones in the series. Listing every single example of his stupidity would easily take up it's own page, and then some. |
| 115 | * DrivenToSuicide: |
| 116 | ** In "Video Ouiji", he kills himself in an attempt to torment Meatwad through the eponymous video game. Unfortuntely, Meatwad grows bored of the game by the time he does so. |
| 117 | ** In "Juggalo", when Shake fails to get rid of the Angel and gets sent to hell a bunch of times in less than a minute, he decides he's had enough and shoots himself in the head with a shotgun to get away from him. |
| 118 | * {{Egopolis}}: The season 12 premiere, "Shaketopia", focuses on Shake becoming the ruler of his very own virtual utopia, the titular Shaketopia. While he's a respected leader among the Glorfinoids, he's really just taking them for granted to build a better life for himself. |
| 119 | * EnemyToAllLivingThings: No form of life is safe around him, especially animals. He killed all of Meatwad's pets by putting them in the microwave, he even killed his own cat (although that was an accident because he forgot he killed Meatwad’s cat). He adopted a dog to attract women, kicked it for not doing what it was adopted for, then ate it [[ItMakesSenseInContext because his tattoo told him to]]. One of his favorite pastimes is to force feed ducks with nitroglycerin to make them explode. He also likes to wail on frogs with golf clubs. He once trespassed on a farm to force feed a cow pork and ranch dressing so that he could flash fry it with batter and cheese for Labor Day. |
| 120 | * EstablishingCharacterMoment: In the first episode, Shake takes one look at Carl's destroyed car and illogically concludes that [[BlatantLies meteors did it]]. Later, Shake goes and remorselessly stomps on Meatwad's boombox while proclaiming "[[CharacterCatchphrase Dancing is forbidden!]]", setting up his {{Jerkass}} nature. |
| 121 | * EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: [[VillainProtagonist Amazingly enough]], Shake has shown that he's perfectly capable of genuinely caring about others: |
| 122 | ** "Reedickyoulus" reveals that Shake has a soft spot for his magician pet cat, Mr. Sparkles, and he expressed great remorse when he realized that he accidentally killed him and was too late to save him. |
| 123 | ** When Freda dumps him, Shake takes it very hard and falls into a HeroicBSOD. At the end of the episode, he pathetically tries to win her back and keeps failing. |
| 124 | ** At the end of the day, he ultimately cares about Frylock, Meatwad and Carl. It's shown multiple times that he hates not being around or living with them, though whether it's actually sincere or because they're his favorite targets is up in the air. |
| 125 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: He may be a selfish, greedy bastard with no remorse for his often absentminded actions, but even ''he'' draws the line at certain things. |
| 126 | ** Finding out that Frylock's been ''poisoning small children with chemical filled balloons at their own birthday parties'' in "Der Inflatable Fuhrer" takes him aback. |
| 127 | ** In "MC Pee Pants", he's actually somewhat mortified at Frylock taking advantage of the titular [[ItMakesSenseInContext batshit insane spider-wearing-a-diaper's trust to lure him into an explosive trap disguised as a job interview and kill him]]. Granted, it likely had something to do with Frylock saying MC would do fine in regular society despite his protests, and then ''immediately'' [[HypocriticalHumor rationalizing their murder with the exact same reasons as to why he'd never make it.]] |
| 128 | --->'''Shake:''' Who am I talking to? 'Cause I don't ''know'' you. |
| 129 | ** He also looked genuinely horrified when Meatwad implied he was molested in "Deleted Scenes". |
| 130 | ** He's also really disgusted by the Slurp-A-Lunch place where he and Frylock work at in "Robositter", considering they ''don't even take the bone out of the meat when they press and liquefy it''- he actually asks who came up with it. |
| 131 | ** For all of his attempts in "The Shaving" to persuade Willie Nelson to kill Carl, he's mortified when he sees the bodies that Willie had been keeping in the attic. |
| 132 | ** Shake finds Happy Time Harry so twisted and depressing that his initial attempts to destroy the doll to mess with Meatwad end with him leaving "to go pray" and he later ''warns'' Frylock to stay away from Harry in a rare show of concern for someone other than himself. |
| 133 | ** He's put off by Allen's tyrannical rule over Earth in "Allen, Part 2". |
| 134 | * ExtremeOmnivore: Shake seems to have a fondness for human flesh; he has devoured Carl's corpse, a doctor's hands, and Carl's severed penis (although in the latter case he mistook it for a hot dog). |
| 135 | * FatalFlaw: His impulsiveness. Even if it ruins everything, gets him killed or causes the problem to get worse, Shake can't help but lie or try to take something for himself (even if he didn't want it and just took it because it's free). |
| 136 | * FauxAffablyEvil: He's usually just a [[{{Jerkass}} straight up dick]], so whenever he tries to act friendly, it fools nobody. |
| 137 | * FirstWorldProblems: He tries to invoke this in "Robositter", where, while working at a fast food joint at the mall, he angrily protests having to work a menial job, and proclaims "These are third-world problems! And I am from the FIRST!" |
| 138 | * {{Flanderization}}: Shake was already a jerkish {{Cloudcuckoolander}} in the beginning, but he was generally depicted as harmless and genuinely determined to do his job as a detective in spite of his own laziness, even if it was primarily to feed his ego. Once the detective theme was phased out, his laziness, stupidity, and cruelty were amped up, with Shake becoming a PsychopathicManchild who is completely disconnected from reality and would literally rather die than work. |
| 139 | * FlippingTheBird: Sometimes does this to show how much of a dick he is. In "Time Machine" and "A Quiet Shake", he even communicates in sign language this way. |
| 140 | * FloatingLimbs: Occasionally, however, this was best seen in the earliest episodes. |
| 141 | * {{Foil}}: Shake's personality highlights Meatwad's by contrast. Both of them are [[TheDitz incredibly stupid]] (and sometimes even TooDumbToLive), [[{{Manchild}} immature]] and [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} possess the logic of a lunatic]]. However, they differ from each other in that: |
| 142 | ** Shake is an incredibly mean, self-serving, narcissistic, sociopathic douchebag with a total disregard for how his actions affect others. |
| 143 | ** Meatwad is a perpetually sweet, childlike, and optimistic individual who always tries to do the right thing, even if too dim to be successful. |
| 144 | * ForTheEvulz: Pretty much the only reason Shake ever does ANYTHING that isn't sitting in front of the TV. |
| 145 | * FourTemperamentEnsemble: Sanguine. He's socially inept, but outgoing and wears his [[MoodSwinger unstable]] emotions on his sleeve. |
| 146 | * TheFriendNobodyLikes: For obvious reasons, Frylock, Meatwad and Carl at best just tolerate him, and they're not likely to care if he's in danger. When Frylock used the Buddy Nugget, a device made to attract friends based on their personal likes and dislikes, ''no one'' showed up for Shake. However, in the rare instances where he isn't being a jerk or messing with them, he gets along with them pretty well. "Revenge of the Trees" and "Dummy Love" are prime examples in which he is mostly friendly towards the others, and they show no animosity towards him. |
| 147 | * FreudianExcuse: |
| 148 | ** Shake mentions in the episode "Reedickyoulus" that the reason he's so messed up is because he wasn't raised properly. [[spoiler: Given that he was created by Dr. Weird, he wasn't kidding.]] |
| 149 | ** The first movie reveals [[spoiler:Dr. Weird didn't actually build him with a brain, and instead put in pieces of his hair and intestines]], explaining why Shake is such a moron. |
| 150 | * FunPersonified: Shake has no tolerance for seriousness and behaves like his {{Cloudcuckoolander}} self 24/7. Unfortunately, it’s almost always at the expense and lives of everyone around him. |
| 151 | * TheGadfly: He annoys the rest of the characters for attention or because he finds it funny. At times, it's often played in a much darker light (albeit firmly in the territory of BlackComedy), as he'll inflict over-the-top torments on Meatwad and occasionally Carl because it amuses him. |
| 152 | * GeniusDitz: Despite his characteristic stupidity, Shake is surprisingly knowledgeable of cooking. He knows how to cook lasagna, steak and eggs, and duck a l'orange, on top of making references to making a balsamic reduction. He's also very clever and manipulative, though his schemes [[HoistByTheirOwnPetard usually backfire on him]]. |
| 153 | * GiganticGulp: |
| 154 | ** He orders a life-sized cup of soda (about the same size as him) from the Wong Burger restaurant in "Dickesode", claiming that he needs to consume 85 gallons of soda per day. |
| 155 | ** His character in general can be considered this, as he's a gigantic milkshake cup who has been shown to be able to absorb the water of Carl's pool. |
| 156 | * GoodPowersBadPeople: Frylock often uses his EyeBeams to save the day. The one time Shake has them, he uses them ForTheEvulz. |
| 157 | * GreenEyedMonster: In "PDA", he leads the Aqua Teens on a quest throughout the US and tries to waterboard Meatwad because he was jealous of Romulox’s PDA and had deluded himself into believing it was his. |
| 158 | * GuileHero: Subverted. Shake ''thinks'' he's this, but he's both too dumb and too mean to fall into either category. However, he does show flashes of legitimate cleverness, though it's heavily overshadowed by his stupidity. |
| 159 | * HammerSpace: Pulls out random weapons from nowhere when a gag calls for it. |
| 160 | * HatedByAll: Neither Meatwad or Frylock like him all that much. Carl sometimes tolerates him but usually would rather not associate with Shake. Even some of the villains find him obnoxious. |
| 161 | * HaveIMentionedIAmSexuallyActiveToday: He frequently tries to act as a ladies'....milkshake cup. Frylock usually {{lampshade|hanging}}s this by pointing out that Shake has no genitalia or reproductive organs. Even disregarding that, ''Meatwad'' has had more success at getting ladies' attention than Shake. |
| 162 | * HeroicWannabe: When the show had the detective theme, Shake would often attempt to look like a hero, mainly through his status as a detective and half-assed inventions and schemes. After this was phased out, it became a [[AttentionWhore general desire for attention]], though he still had moments of this, most notably in "Superhero". |
| 163 | * HiddenDepths: |
| 164 | ** He can cook a mean lasagna, which he [[BrilliantButLazy mainly uses to torment Carl]]. |
| 165 | ** Several episodes show that Shake has an unusual interest in the stock market. |
| 166 | * HotBlooded: Shake is impulsive beyond all reason. |
| 167 | * HunterOfMonsters: Once claimed to have a doctorate in "Monstrology" and be an expert at capturing monsters. As to be expected, this was a lie he was using to con Meatwad. |
| 168 | * HypocriticalHumor: Despite his proclaims that "Dancing is forbidden!", Shake has no issue dancing when Schoolly D shows up at the end of "Rabbot Redux". |
| 169 | * IAmAHumanitarian: Albeit unknowingly, Shake has eaten body parts or human remains repeatedly, remarking how delicious they were at least once. |
| 170 | * IKnowMortalKombat: Shake occasionally uses his knowledge of pop culture to insist that he is right, completely oblivious to the difference between fantasy and reality. |
| 171 | -->'''Shake:''' I wasn't born yesterday, okay? I've seen movies. |
| 172 | -->'''Frylock:''' He ''needs'' medical attention! |
| 173 | * ImplausibleDeniability: Shake is a pathological liar, but a [[BadLiar bad one]]. He's the kind of guy who'll vehemently reject an idea he previously clung to with his life, even when there's actual evidence that he was the one who came up with the idea. |
| 174 | * InNameOnly: Frylock's the real leader. Shake calls himself "Master" because it sounds cool. |
| 175 | * InnocentlyInsensitive: It's very debatable but Shake possibly can't detect the malice of his actions and might believe that they are done with good faith. This is especially prominent when he uses famous people to back his immorality up. |
| 176 | * InsaneTrollLogic: His second most prominent trait after being a jerk. |
| 177 | -->'''Frylock:''' [[{{Technobabble}} In order to transmit data from human nerve endings, I had to suspend the RAM in a colloidal fluid so it wouldn't overheat when the hard drive spun at the speed of time.]]\ |
| 178 | '''Shake:''' Because you're a ''witch'' and you made it disappear with your evil magic!\ |
| 179 | '''Meatwad:''' He's a witch?!\ |
| 180 | '''Frylock:''' I'm not a witch!\ |
| 181 | '''Shake:''' Oh yeah. Don't look at him wrong, he'll shrink your head to the size of a pea, I've seen it!\ |
| 182 | '''Frylock:''' Look, the hard drive spun so fast, it sent the computer back in time.\ |
| 183 | '''Shake:''' To the time of witches, where you once lived! Bring forth the stakes! You shall burn for your beliefs, witch! |
| 184 | * InsufferableImbecile: He's a dimwitted jerk who uses InsaneTrollLogic to justify his actions, [[DidntThinkThisThrough fails to properly plan out his many asinine schemes]], bullies Meatwad ForTheEvulz, and antagonizes the rest of the characters for attention. |
| 185 | * InSeriesNickname: Some of the other characters, Carl in particular, will occasionally refer to Shake as 'Cup'. |
| 186 | * ItAmusedMe: He bullies Meatwad for his own amusement. |
| 187 | * ItsAllAboutMe: He's extremely self-centered and callous. The only times he bothers to work or help others is it benefits him in some way or is necessary for self-preservation. |
| 188 | * JerkassHasAPoint: Sometimes brings up good points; |
| 189 | ** In "Super Sirloin", he correctly calls out Meatwad for stealing all their food "for the shorties" (even if he ''is'' just doing it for his Steak & Eggs and Duck à l'orange). Frylock agrees with Shake in this regards. |
| 190 | ** In "Total Re-Carl", when Carl's body got mangled and Frylock transplanted his brain into a weapon-laden MiniMecha. Shake immediately points out that activating him is ''not'' a good idea. |
| 191 | -->'''Frylock:''' You're right. [[DidntThinkThisThrough Damn, what the hell was I thinking?]] |
| 192 | ** In "Allen, Part Two", he's the only one to point out how Allen killing everyone he deems as bad could be [[MoralMyopia evil in and of itself]]. He also rightfully calls out Frylock and Meatwad for leaving him cryogenically frozen for nine years and impregnated by an alien. |
| 193 | * JerkassToOne: While Shake is generally obnoxious and unpleasant in every possible way, he takes particular pleasure in tormenting Meatwad and generally being abusive to him. |
| 194 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Heavily, ''heavily'' downplayed. He's mostly a straight-up {{Jerkass}} who only ''pretends'' to have a Heart of Gold to scam or screw with his friends. However, there are very rare occasions when Shake shows he cares about the other Aqua Teens and Carl and does something sincerely nice for them with no ulterior motive. He'll always revert back to form in the next episode, though - and sometimes in the same one. |
| 195 | * JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: He's obnoxious, selfish, and abrasive, but he'll somewhat often do good deeds - but only for selfish reasons, such as to [[AttentionWhore get attention]], scam his friends, or simply to bait them so he can screw with them further. Even during his days as a detective, it was clearly about self-aggrandizement and the money. There ''are'' hints that he does sincerely like the other Aqua Teens and Carl, but that never stops him from tormenting them and it's clear he loves himself far more. |
| 196 | * KarmaHoudini: Sometimes Shake gets away with the malicious things he does. Notable examples include: |
| 197 | ** The episode "Lasagna" ends completely in Shake's favor, as he succeeds in involuntarily killing Carl by testing the latter's impulsiveness with his delicious lasagna, essentially prompting Carl to fall to his death in pursuit of said lasagna. |
| 198 | ** "Granite Family" ends with him getting off scot-free from plunging the entire world into a nuclear wasteland. In fact, he [[TheBadGuyWIns fully wins, as he gets the "Granite Family" reboot he wanted out of watching Frylock failing to save the world]] AND a fully functional time machine! |
| 199 | ** The episode "Buddy Nugget" ends with Shake having his kickass party without inviting Frylock, Meatwad, and Carl, while also stealing Frylock's idea for the Buddy Nugget device. |
| 200 | ** A PlayedWith example in "Reedickyoulus": Meatwad's many pets come back from the dead to give Shake a taste of his own medicine, but their attempt at providing LaserGuidedKarma backfires since Shake is too big to fit in the microwave, letting him go scot-free. Well, other than turning him into an AIDS-infected gay zombie. But Shake seems to be fine with this and joins a zombie party bus. |
| 201 | ** A particularly infamous example happens in "Super Squatter". He forces the Aqua Teens to live without power due to his own laziness, he squats in Carl's house despite the latter obviously not wanting him, he lets Carl bleed out his broken leg with no care for his safety and effectively imprisons him in his own house, and decides to steal all of Carl's electricity so he wont have to pay the bills. Meanwhile, Carl cannot dish out any revenge on Shake due to the massive amount of medication he is on. |
| 202 | ** "Zucotti Manicotti" has Shake push Meatwad to the brink of suicide after tricking the latter into killing his hero. [[DisproportionateRetribution All because Meatwad kept hogging the TV]]. |
| 203 | * KarmicDeath: On the other hand, he's suffered many poetic deaths for his actions throughout the series, even if [[TheyKilledKennyAgain they don't stick]]. |
| 204 | * KickTheDog: Does this a '''lot''', mainly towards Meatwad. [[spoiler:Supposedly, he did most of it in a series of misguided events intended to toughen him up.]] |
| 205 | * KilledOffForReal: In the penultimate episode. [[spoiler:Subverted in the finale as he is alive and well after the credits.]] |
| 206 | * KnowNothingKnowItAll: Shake fancies himself a knowledgeable expert on whatever situation the Aqua Teens encounter, despite pulling his explanations out of his ass and clearly having no idea what he's talking about. He'll also ignore whenever Frylock gives a simpler and more rational explanation than whatever nonsense Shake's concocted and defend it furiously. Shake also tends to just rant in general about random subjects despite, again, clearly not knowing anything about them. |
| 207 | * LackOfEmpathy: Shake lacks any sort of empathy for everyone around him, especially towards Meatwad. In "Zucotti Manicotti", he has no problem with traumatizing Meatwad to the point of becoming suicidal. There are rare occasions where Shake shows seemingly sincere empathy for people besides himself, but such moments are far and few between. |
| 208 | * LargeHam: Shake gets overly dramatic when he starts accusing people, usually Frylock, of outlandish things. |
| 209 | * LaserGuidedKarma: Shake's immoral actions usually come back to bite him in the ass. |
| 210 | * LaughablyEvil: Shake is by no means someone you'd wanna meet if he exists in real life, but his douchebag behavior is hilarious to watch. |
| 211 | * LazyBum: Whenever he's not going out of his way to harass Meatwad or Carl, Shake is usually making a complete lazy ass out of himself by dwelling on the couch, eating junk food, and watching a heap of TV, showing zero motivation to participate in important tasks like paying the bills. |
| 212 | ** Shake seems pathologically incapable of holding a job. For example, one of the few times he held a job (at Slurp-A-Lunch), he spends his time bitching about his job while everyone else works, and quits before the end of his first day in the job, liquefies his uniform, tries to rob the register, and then steals ham as his severance package. |
| 213 | * TheLeader: Or so he claims. In reality he's just an egotistical ControlFreak. Frylock has the real authority in the household and is the only competent character of the trio, but Shake's schemes and impulses ''do'' often drive the plot. |
| 214 | * LethallyStupid: Shake will ignorantly get himself in trouble that not only poses immediate danger to others, but also himself, be it BullyingADragon or messing with Frylock's newest invention. Luckily for the audience, [[TooDumbToLive karma will come back]] and [[KarmicDeath make him pay]]. |
| 215 | * LowerClassLout: He's poor and an uncouth, uneducated moron whose worldview is based around InsaneTrollLogic and [[SmallNameBigEgo his inflated sense of self.]] He's frequently contrasted against the intellectual Frylock, who serves as the voice of reason. |
| 216 | * MadeOfIron: Shake can, surprisingly enough, endure many amounts of pain without even scoffing it. For example Shake was able to survive being sliced up to cubes in "Intervention" and having the entire middle part of his body ripped off in "Brain Fairy". |
| 217 | * ManipulativeBastard: Shake will stop at nothing to get what he wants. His rebellious attitude can often lead him to talk his way out of every situation he finds him in. |
| 218 | * TheMcCoy: Of the trio that is the Aqua Teens, Shake is an exaggeration of this. That cup body of his is full of impulses and irrationality...and, of course, milkshake. |
| 219 | * MilesGloriosus: Brags about his prowess, skills and other such attempts to look more impressive than he actually is... and chickens out at the sight of something going wrong. |
| 220 | * TheMillstone: Oftentimes, Shake will actively cause the problems the Aqua Teens face, sometimes out of malice and sometimes pure stupidity. Whenever he doesn't, he'll frequently escalate it anyway for the same reasons. |
| 221 | * MyGodWhatHaveIDone: |
| 222 | ** Near the end of the movie he blows Meatwad (who's usually MadeOfIron) to bits with a shotgun without any warning. However, he seems genuinely concerned when he realizes this actually killed him. |
| 223 | ** His reaction when he accidentally kills his cat, Mr. Sparkles. |
| 224 | ** He says this word for word in "Allen, Part One" when he sees what happened to his home while he was in hyper sleep and what he gave up. |
| 225 | * {{Narcissist}}: Shake is a pathological liar who's extremely self-serving and unsympathetic to the less fortunate, yet he [[AttentionWhore frequently seeks attention wherever he goes]]. |
| 226 | * NeverMyFault: At times, Master Shake can take this trope to extreme levels. He's written a self-help book that teaches readers to live this way to succeed in life. It obviously didn't sell, although Shake says it's Frylock's fault because he shut down the website, rather than his advice clearly isn't helpful. |
| 227 | * NoIndoorVoice: Constantly boasts, shouts, and whines throughout the series. |
| 228 | * NominalHero: If any character is a "hero in name only" it's Shake. He'll occasionally make pretensions of altruism and (in the first season anyway) made half-assed attempts at do-gooding primarily to feed his ego, but he's such a selfish, sociopathic {{Jerkass}} that he'll do something dickish even then. |
| 229 | * NotSoHarmlessVillain: Shake generally tends to shoot himself in the foot before he can get far, and he's generally only an antagonist by virtue of being a {{Jerkass}} and/or trying to scam his friends. However, while it's always played for BlackComedy, Shake can be a legitimate threat when his targets aren't MadeOfIron like Meatwad, such as luring Carl off a window ledge with a lasagna in "Lasagna" and causing massive pile-ups by dropping cement slabs and Meatwad onto a busy highway in "Juggalo". |
| 230 | * NotAfraidToDie: ZigZagged. Shake is a DirtyCoward of the highest order, but he's also extremely reckless with his own life. He's killed himself on multiple occasions with no hesitation and often for extraordinarily petty reasons. |
| 231 | * NothingButSkinAndBones: In "Shaketopia", Shake has spent so much time in the titular {{Egopolis}} that by the time he tries to stand up and walk, he ends up breaking his spine. |
| 232 | * NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist: Later on in the show, he tries to justify his horrible treatment of Meatwad as "ToughLove". However the show has made it very blatantly clear that he just does it to be cruel for the sake of it. It doesn't help either that Shake always makes excuses for his actions and never admits he's at fault. |
| 233 | * ObliviouslyEvil: Sometimes. Shake will deliberately cause harm if he feels like it, but at times he'll cause chaos completely by accident through sheer stupidity. |
| 234 | * OutOfFocus: The final season. He either plays a supporting to role to the focused character of the episode[[note]]"Mouth Quest", "Brain Fairy", "Hairy Bus", "Knapsack!", and "The Last One Forever and Ever (For Real This Time) (We Fucking Mean It)"[[/note]] or a minor character[[note]]"Sweet C" and "Rabbit, Not Rabbot"[[/note]]. This is a noticeable contrast to the last two seasons, where he plays the main role in almost every episode. |
| 235 | * PetTheDog: |
| 236 | ** The two times Shake did something nice for someone was when he found out Frylock was [[spoiler:supposedly]] dying of cancer, and then when [[spoiler:he really was dying, and later during the mission to save him sacrifices himself to protect Meatwad from the clams]]. |
| 237 | ** It's also revealed in "Reedickyoulus" that Shake owns a magician cat which he has a soft spot for, and he expressed great remorse when he realized he accidentally microwaved him. |
| 238 | ** In "Anubis", Shake decides to join Carl in the friendship seminar with no ulterior motives whatsoever |
| 239 | * PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: He's casually homophobic and often refers to people as gay as an insult. He also uses slurs against Italian Americans to insult a bookie working for TheMafia [[TooDumbToLive immediately after the man finished giving Shake a]] NoHoldsBarredBeatdown. And then there's his xenophobic, nonsensical rant against immigrants and illegal aliens in "Remooned". |
| 240 | * PolicitcallyCorrectVillain: Surprisingly, given his general bigotry, he's actually pretty accepting when Frylock comes out as trans in the movie. |
| 241 | * PhraseCatcher: "Dammnit Shake!" from Frylock. |
| 242 | * PunchClockHero: When the Aqua Teens were detectives early in the first season, Shake was the one galvanizing them and seeking out cases, but it was clearly just for the sake of making money and [[AttentionWhore getting attention]]. Afterwards, this aspect of Shake's character was mostly dropped, but a good chunk of the (rare) occasions he actually does do something vaguely heroic is motivated generally by greed and/or personal gain. |
| 243 | * PsychopathicManchild: Shake is clearly an adult yet lacks independence and constantly relies on Frylock's support. That aside, he throws temper tantrums and starts breaking things if he doesn't get his way, tortures Meatwad ForTheEvulz, and often uses childish retorts. |
| 244 | * TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Shake hands these out like hotcakes, though much of the time they're more likely to merely annoy the target of his ire rather than demoralize them. |
| 245 | * RedemptionEqualsDeath: [[spoiler:He spends a surprising amount of time during the SeriesFauxnale being '''''kind''''', sacrificing himself to save Meatwad after the two are attacked on the planet they travelled to in order to find Frylock a new jewel and save his life. Beforehand, he tells Meatwad that most of his abuse was in the form of ToughLove in his eyes.]] |
| 246 | * TheReveal: [[spoiler:He has a jewel like Frylock’s underneath him]]. |
| 247 | * RunningGag: Whenever Shake throws things on the ground, [[StuffBlowingUp they immediately explode]]. |
| 248 | * {{Sadist}}: Shake derives amusement from the pain and suffering of Meatwad, or anyone else he happens to have power over. |
| 249 | * SanitySlippage: Each season he grows more unhinged, sadistic, and disconnected from reality. |
| 250 | * SelfServingMemory: "PDA" shows that Shake’s memory and what really happened are two completely different beasts. |
| 251 | * SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: Along with Frylock, he shares the Manly Man role to [[{{Manchild}} Meatwad]]. Shake possesses both more knowledge and interest in adult culture than Meatwad, who has interests typical of a toddler, and is very clever and manipulative when it comes to finding his way out of authoritative contempt. However, on the contrary, Shake is a PsychopathicManchild and a bit of a coward himself and doesn't really possess much powers other than being able to excrete useless ice cream from his straw, plus there are even times where Meatwad stands up for himself after being exploited too much and gets revenge on Shake. |
| 252 | * SinisterMinister: PlayedForLaughs in "The Greatest Story Ever Told", where Shake sets up a deeply bizarre sect of Christianity worshipping a figure named "The Mighty Jimmy". Given that it's [[PsychopathicManchild Shake]] we're talking about, he falls into this by default. |
| 253 | * TheSlacker: Shake lacks the courage to handle adult responsibilities and constantly relies on Frylock to support him 24/7. He is unmotivated to get a job and wants nothing more than to dwell in the house watching TV and eating junk food. However, unlike Meatwad, who cries out loud like an immature child, Shake simply yells at Frylock for telling the truth and walks away from the situation into his own little world. |
| 254 | * SmallNameBigEgo: Shake's entire existence revolves around [[AttentionWhore getting people to think he's as awesome as he thinks he is]]. Of course, whether it's posing as a superhero or getting plastic surgery to become a model, it never works. He's a moron. |
| 255 | * TheSociopath: Shake is a very low-functioning one. He's a sadistic, manipulative snake who is [[ItsAllAboutMe monstrously selfish]] and has a total LackOfEmpathy. He's also extremely reckless and impulsive, to a suicidal degree. He's even explicitly described this way in "Freda". |
| 256 | * SoleSurvivor: In the end of [[spoiler:''Plantasm'', Shake ends up as the remaining Aqua Teen alive after Markula revives him]]. |
| 257 | * SpoiledBrat: Shake has the temper of a spoiled child and gets incredibly furious if his way is not handed over to him. |
| 258 | * TheStraightMan: Shake of all people, was this to the [[AxCrazy Creditor]]. |
| 259 | * StuffBlowingUp: He seems to have the power to make things ''explode'' whenever he tosses them out of frustration or anger. However, a few other characters have done this in the series, meaning the power isn't unique to him. |
| 260 | * StupidEvil: Shake is so compulsively cruel and petty that it flies in the face of basic self-preservation. |
| 261 | * SuicideAsComedy: He's killed himself many times just to mess with the other characters and entertain the audience. "Video Ouija" stands out as the most prominent example, in which he commits suicide by [[CruelAndUnusualDeath ingesting the fumes of gasoline through a hose, consuming a bunch of sleeping pills, and ultimately jumping into Carl's pool, which has live piranhas and a plugged-in toaster to facilitate the process]]. |
| 262 | -->'''Shake:''' ''[writing his suicide note]'' Friends, relations, whatever the hell Meatwad is... I've lived a full life. It's actually been...pretty bitchin'. But now, regrettably, my life has been taken. Please bury me with all my stuff because you know it's mine. Dearest Meatwad, '''turn on that dumb game cause' I am gonna wail you from the grave, baby!''' Missing you already, M.S.\ |
| 263 | '''Frylock:''' Oh my God.\ |
| 264 | '''Carl:''' Fryman, I am so sorry... that, uh, [[SkewedPriorities I can't press charges here]].\ |
| 265 | '''Frylock:''' ...Yeah, me too. |
| 266 | * SuicideIsPainless: Once killed himself just to mess with Meatwad. And again so he could see a woman naked. |
| 267 | * SupremeChef: While usually incapable of doing anything, Shake has been shown to be really good at cooking, making four-cheese lasagna, cheese-injected fried beef and cakes. Downplayed, since Shake will cook only for 'special occasions' like screwing up Meatwad's diet or torturing Carl. At other times he [[BrilliantButLazy wouldn't even mind eating cat food]]. |
| 268 | * TalkativeLoon: A RunningGag is that when Shake is ignored or outargued, he'll just start saying whatever he can to get attention. |
| 269 | * TantrumThrowing: When Shake gets upset, he often starts throwing objects around and breaking them, even if they’re his own property. |
| 270 | * TokenEvilTeammate: A bastard who lives to torture his roommates and for personal gain. The other members of the team often do evil things as well, but Shake is unique in that he doesn't need a reason. |
| 271 | * TooDumbToLive: He has sliced himself in half with a katana, eaten a sandwich that he knew would send him to a hell dimension where an axe-wielding cyclops awaited to slice his head open, and has gone as far as committing suicide just to ruin Meatwad's Ouija video game. There are moments where Shake completely fails to comprehend how the most basic things work and is physically incapable of having a clue. |
| 272 | * TookALevelInJerkass: At the start of the series, Shake was an incompetent, selfish {{Jerkass}} already, but he still ''tried'' to do his job and most of his worst actions were limited to his abuse of Meatwad; otherwise, he tended to be harmless and had a vague, spotty sense of altruism (albeit mostly motivated by his desire for attention and fame). He quickly grew worse over Season 1, and in Season 2 he'd let Carl bleed to death by a self-inflicted gun wound he was responsible for by breaking into Carl's house in the first place. From there, Shake's descent into being a JerkWithAHeartOfJerk was cemented and he just got worse with each season. |
| 273 | * TookALevelInKindness: |
| 274 | ** In "Shake Like Me", Master Shake gets bitten by a radioactive black man, turns black and becomes much friendlier compared to his original self. Unfortunately, Shake being nice was found to be [[WeWantOurJerkBack a bit too creepy]], so Frylock [[StatusQuoIsGod returned him to his normal (jerkass) self.]] |
| 275 | ** By seasons 11 and 12, much of Shake's sociopathic and excessively cruel tendencies were toned in down in favor of just making him an idiotic {{Manchild}}. One that is stilll quite repulsive to be around, but not as bad as he was during the middle seasons where he would frequently engage in crimes and gleefully push his friends into [[Recap/AquaTeenHungerForceS8E9Lasagna killing]] [[Recap/AquaTeenHungerForceS9E9ZucottiManicotti themselves]]. |
| 276 | * TookALevelInDumbass: Each season, Shake, already a delusional moron in the first season, loses a level in intelligence. |
| 277 | * TheTopicOfCancer: He ends up developing cancer (and diabetes) by the end of ''Super Bowl'' by eating so many bags of cheesey nacho chips that he becomes morbidly obese, severely acne ridden, and he passes out and has to go to the hospital to get the diagnosis, all while trying to win the same Super Bowl tickets Meatwad got on his first try ([[DidntThinkThisThrough and not taking Frylocks word that he doesn't have to eat the chips to check for tickets]]). Unlike Frylock's cancer in ''Party All The Time'', it's played for comedy here, [[RageBreakingPoint especially when he finds out Meatwad didn't even go to the Super Bowl.]] |
| 278 | --> '''Shake:''' You went into a ([[SoundEffectBleep Car horn]])''ing farm you'' ([[SoundEffectBleep Clown honk]])''ing imbecile!'' ''Get back here you cost me my one chance!'' (Falls over trying to chase Meatwad) '''''I got''''' ([[SoundEffectBleep Car horns]])'''''ing''''' '''''diabetes and cancer because of you!''''' |
| 279 | * {{Troll}}: Shake manipulates his roommates and Carl purely to see the look on their faces when they realize they've been tricked. |
| 280 | * TheUnapologetic: Shake rarely if ever feels sorry for his malicious actions. |
| 281 | * UngratefulBastard: Almost never thanks anyone. |
| 282 | * UnsympatheticComedyProtagonist: Despite his lack of positive qualities, his arrogance and stupidity make him fun to watch. |
| 283 | * VillainProtagonist: Shake at his very worst can be considered this in that he's prone to committing crimes ForTheEvulz. |
| 284 | * VillainousValor: In ''The Last One Forever And Ever (For Real This Time) (We Fucking Mean It)'' Master Shake sacrifices himself to ward off the giant clams so that Meatwad can make it to the Mother Clam, showing a courage he hasn't shown in the rest of the show. |
| 285 | -->'''Shake:''' [[FaceDeathWithDignity AQUA TEEN HUNGER FORCE FOREVER!!]] |
| 286 | * WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway: Frylock can fire laser beams from his eye and can shoot fry-like projectiles, Meatwad can shapeshift into virtually anything, and Shake... can excrete ice cream. Actually subverted, as he also has the questionable power that anything he drops or throws will explode. This seems quite random, but [[spoiler:considering he was created by Dr. Weird, it's somewhat understandable.]] |
| 287 | ** The SeriesFauxnale revealed that all this time, [[spoiler: Shake could have also fire laser beams from his eyes, as he too possessed the same jewel that Frylock has to charge his powers]]. |
| 288 | * WhiteGangBangers: While Frylock is obviously black, and Meatwad some odd mix that leans towards black with his interest in black culture and his speech being peppered particularly with aave, Shake is decidedly White, and still makes a rap album and defaults to black celebrities when attempting to switch bodies. |
| 289 | * WorkingClassHero: Shake occasionally tries to portray himself as this, to little success. |
| 290 | --> '''Shake:''' Yeah, we know how you did it. [[SarcasmMode Congratulations. The bank gave you a credit card.]] It doesn't make you better than me. But you see, nobody gives me credit because I'm a bad risk and I don't pay my bills on time. So I have to work for what I have! |
| 291 | * YellowEyesOfSneakiness: Has a light yellow sclera, and it pretty much fits his jerkass attitude. |

| 298 | !!!'''Voiced by: Carey Means''' |
| 299 | |
| 300 | A floating, super-intelligent box of french fries with various powers. Usually the smartest and and most moral member of the trio, though he can be pretty mean when pushed too far. |
| 301 | ------------ |
| 302 | * AdaptationalBadass: Compared to his original "Baffler Meal" appearance where he was arguably more like Meatwad. |
| 303 | * AmbidextrousSprite: The scar under his eye swaps sides depending on which way he's facing. |
| 304 | * AmbiguousGenderIdentity: He's almost always portrayed as unambiguously male, though the first film has him grappling with the possibility that he's a lesbian, to the point where he ultimately transitions to a woman during TheStinger. [[NegativeContinuity Naturally]], he's back to being male in subsequent stories. |
| 305 | * AmbiguouslyBrown: While he's just a red box of French fries, there are a lot of hints that he might be of African-American descent. His voice actor Carey Means is black, not to mention Shake's line of dialogue in "Boost Mobile". |
| 306 | -->'''Shake:''' You ''sound'' black. Where are you from? |
| 307 | * AntiHero: Frylock is generally the closest to a straightforward hero out of all the main characters, though as "Fry Legs" and "The Cloning" most notably show, he's far from squeaky clean. He's otherwise normally depicted as a KnightInSourArmor. |
| 308 | * ArmorPiercingResponse: It doesn't always work, but when Shake is up to no good yet again and trying to coerce or bully Frylock into having his way, a straightforward method of getting Shake to piss off is firmly telling him, "No." The moments it works best are when Frylock's [[TranquilFury absolutely fed up with Shake]], who somehow doesn't see it coming and fumbles the responses afterwards. |
| 309 | * BadassBookworm: Frylock's a scientific genius who will electrocute someone into oblivion with his eye lasers if he has to. |
| 310 | * BaritoneOfStrength: Speaks with one of the deepest voices in the series, and is more than capable of kicking ass if neccesary. |
| 311 | * BewareTheNiceOnes: He's easily the nicest Aqua Teen next to Meatwad. Press his buttons, though, and that'll change in a hurry. |
| 312 | * BlastingItOutOfTheirHands: More like vaporizing it in their hands. He does this with his eye beams, usually as a show of force or to get someone to pay attention. |
| 313 | * BunglingInventor: As smart as Frylock is, his inventions tend to backfire on him. Among his failures were a robotic babysitter that terrorized Meatwad, an experimental toilet that destroyed Carl's body from the neck down when he used it, and a cloning machine that produced unstable copies of the original that would explode/spew blood/gain sentience. Like the examples above, those that aren't outright failures usually end up causing problems because he doesn't seem to get that his immature/irresponsible roommates can't be trusted with them. |
| 314 | * CharacterCatchphrase: |
| 315 | ** "Dammit Shake!" or "Dammit Meatwad!", which isn't surprising considering how he bears the brunt of their antics. |
| 316 | ** "It's ''not'' a toy!" crops up now and again, in regards to his inventions. |
| 317 | * CharacterizationMarchesOn: In the first few episodes, he was robotic and subservient to Shake. By the time the Mooninites make their first appearance, his more recgonizable BadassBookworm personality becomes established. |
| 318 | * CharacterDevelopment: In the first season, Frylock acted like most of the bizarre situations the Aqua Teens got into were dead serious and, when he wasn’t arguing with Shake over his stupidity, took orders from him. As he grew more exasperated with both the bizarre situations he got into and Shake’s antics, Frylock began reacting to these bizarre situations with annoyance and on occasion skepticism and usually refused to take orders from Shake, often preferring to let Shake suffer the consequences of his own actions. |
| 319 | * ChubbyChaser: All of his love interests (except for a woman from "Carl") were women of size. |
| 320 | * {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Downplayed. He's saner than the rest of the team, but still has flashes of his own insanity, such as his bouts of being a MadScientist and occasionally wandering around in bondage gear while pretending that "[he's] been bad". |
| 321 | * CloudcuckoolandersMinder: He's usually the main reason Shake and Meatwad (ESPECIALLY the latter) can even remotely function in society. |
| 322 | * CompleteImmortality: Thanks to a magic shampoo he used, Frylock has this. Any injury he sustains is little more than a temporary inconvenience, which he exploits to make extreme gore videos with Carl. Unfortunately, after being imprisoned for murder of a Highlander star, he can't serve out his life sentences because he doesn't age. |
| 323 | * TheConscience: To Shake, Meatwad and sometimes Carl if he feels like listening. Without Frylock, they would probably be complete psychopaths. |
| 324 | * ControlFreak: He is usually the straight man and voice of reason, but sometimes it's taken to the point that he feels the need to make ''every'' decision for his roommates and Carl. |
| 325 | * DeadpanSnarker: ''Very'' prone to delivering snarky remarks in response to Shake, Meatwad, or Carl's stupidity. |
| 326 | * DidntThinkThisThrough: In "Total Re-Carl." After mangling Carl's body and several false starts, Frylock [[WeCanRebuildHim rebuilds Carl]] by giving him a military suit and arming him with weapons of mass destruction. You know just how bad of an idea this was when it's ''[[TooDumbToLive Shake]]'' who calls him out on it: |
| 327 | -->'''Frylock:''' I give you the ultimate in military hardware, complete with laser cannon, indestructible titanium exoskeleton and motion-activated plasma pulse rifles.\ |
| 328 | '''Shake:''' And you're gonna plug him in?!\ |
| 329 | '''Frylock:''' You're right. Damn, what the hell was I thinking? |
| 330 | * DitzyGenius: Frylock is a brilliant scientist and inarguably the most rational and logically thinking member of the trio, but he occasionally [[DidntThinkThisThrough forgets to plan out/properly test his science experiments]], has subtle quirks of his own and tends to trust Shake and Meatwad more than he should. |
| 331 | * EerieAnatomyModel: He has a poster of his own anatomical structure in his room that showcases his own BizarreAlienBiology. |
| 332 | * EnragedByIdiocy: There's only so much of his roommates' stupidity he can take, '''especially''' Shake's. |
| 333 | * EyeBeams: Frylock wears contact lenses that shoot just about anything from electricity to fire-retardant foam. |
| 334 | * ForScience: Frylock falls into this trope on occasion — the toilet that destroyed Carl's body springs to mind. |
| 335 | * ForgotAboutHisPowers: Often happens in episodes where situations and conflicts could be quickly resolved by Frylock shooting a blast of electricity from his eyes. |
| 336 | * FourTemperamentEnsemble: Melancholic. Frylock is a dour complainer who obsessively frets over problems. [[SurroundedByIdiots Not that you can blame him, of course.]] |
| 337 | * GenderBender: [[spoiler:The movie reveals that he is actually a lesbian woman trapped in a man's body. Despite the fact that Frylock is usually portrayed as male, this trope was foreshadowed at various points in the early seasons.]] |
| 338 | * {{Hypocrite}}: At times, generally during his NotSoAboveItAll moments: |
| 339 | ** In "MC Pee Pants," after listening to the titular character's protests that he's too insane to fit into society, Frylock assures him he'll do fine... only to lure him into an explosive trap disguised as a job interview and justify it as a MercyKill with the exact same reasons Pee Pants pointed out. [[EvenEvilHasStandards Even Shake was disturbed]]. |
| 340 | ** In "The Cloning," he tells Shake off for cloning (.i.e. counterfeiting) money, but immediately starts doing so himself. |
| 341 | * HyperCompetentSideKick: Shake is ostensibly the leader of the crew, but Frylock is the problem solver, and the only member of the trio with any real power or intelligence, of which he has ''quite'' a lot. |
| 342 | * InSeriesNickname: "Fryman", used by friends and enemies alike, typically Carl. |
| 343 | * InsufferableGenius: While generally a NiceGuy, Frylock has shown shades of this at times; he's prone to forcing his scientific inventions on his roommates when it's clear that they aren't interested (unless the invention in question can be used as a toy) and acting superior over them for being more intelligent. This is a driving point on the storyline in "Unremarkable Voyage". However, these instances seem to be done in an attempt to curb Shake and Meatwad's stupidity and educate them to some degree. |
| 344 | * JerkassBall: Picks this up every now and then, most notably in "Fry Legs" where he [[spoiler:sexually harasses a computer repair woman and kills her boyfriend to increase his chances of getting with her]]. |
| 345 | * JerkassToOne: As the series goes on, Frylock is far quicker to lose his patience with Shake. If Shake ever gets himself in trouble, or killed, by his stupidity and poor decisions, Frylock has no issue abandoning him. Considering how often Shake causes him trouble without consideration, Frylock's growing lack of concern for Shake's well-being is justified. |
| 346 | * KarmaHoudini: [[spoiler:In the episode "Fry Legs" Frylock gets away with sexually harassing a computer repair woman and killing her boyfriend, while Shake gets killed at the end for no actual reason.]] |
| 347 | * KilledOffForReal: Seemingly offed for good in the penultimate episode of season 11. [[NegativeContinuity This being ATHF, he comes right back in the season finale.]] |
| 348 | * MadScientist: Despite usually being the OnlySaneMan, he has a habit of going overboard in his experiments, from creating supercomputers that spin their drives so fast they go back in time, to creating air-powered jet engine toilets to save on water. |
| 349 | * ManipulativeBastard: On occasion, he likes to goad Carl and Shake into being the lab rats to his science experiments, and in the case of Shake in particular, to his death or horrible injury when he’s about fed up with him. |
| 350 | ** In Total Re-Carl, he pushes Carl into trying out his new eco-friendly toilet by breaking into his house while he’s hiding from him, claiming the high-tech toilet he installed outside has a cloaking device, handing him a gift basket of treats that encourage bowel movement when eaten, and then locks him out his own house so Carl has to shit in the toilet he needs tested. The part about the cloaking device was also a lie, which he points out was an obvious lie to Meatwad while spying on Carl shitting outside. |
| 351 | ** In Bible Fruit, when the titular Bible Fruit characters relapse into their old drug-addicted and murderous ways, Frylock tells them with a straight face that Shake contains plenty of drugs, while he and Meatwad go outside to rig the house to explode while Shake is getting mobbed and beheaded, still inside with the Fruits when it blows. |
| 352 | * MidairBobbing: Frylock has the ability to float up and down in midair. |
| 353 | * NiceGuy: Frylock is generally the nicest member of the Aqua Teens next to Meatwad. [[JerkassBall Keyword being]] ''[[NotSoAboveItAll generally]]''. |
| 354 | * NoRespectGuy: Nobody ever listens to Frylock's advice; they usually suffer for it. |
| 355 | * NotSoAboveItAll: Every now and then, Frylock acts as greedy and mean as Shake. One episode shows him cloning (i.e., counterfeiting) money, [[HypocriticalHumor even after he told Shake not to.]] |
| 356 | -->'''Frylock'''': ''(after taking out a resurrected George Washington that tried to lecture them on their misdeeds)'' Eh, we should have cloned Twenty [dollar bills]. Jackson wouldn't have given a shit. |
| 357 | ** And then of course, there's the episode "Fry Legs", where he [[spoiler:sexually harasses a computer repair woman and murders her boyfriend just to increase his chances of getting with her.]] |
| 358 | * OnlySaneMan: He's usually the only Aqua Teen with a shred of sanity in his body. [[NotSoAboveItAll He's got his moments of questionable behavior]], though he's otherwise the main reason the trio are able to get ANYTHING done. [[spoiler:The first film reveals this is because he's the only Aqua Teen Dr. Weird gave an actual brain.]] |
| 359 | * ParentalSubstitute: To Meatwad. They have a father-son relationship, stemming from Meatwad's childlike personality and GROSS incompetence in contrast to Frylock's maturity and super-intelligence. |
| 360 | * PerpetualFrowner: He's generally shown with a frown on his face. [[NoRespectGuy Considering the amount of shit that he goes through]] [[ButtMonkey on a daily basis]], it's not exactly a shocker. |
| 361 | * PowerFloats: Unlike the other two, he only moves around by floating, through via the jewel on his back. |
| 362 | * SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: Frylock is the Manly Man to Meatwad's Sensitive Guy; Meatwad is childishly innocent with a sensitive disposition, while Frylock is a tough, brave and bold badass who has no issue zapping the bad guys to death. |
| 363 | * TheSpock: He's the rational one of the Aqua Teens, and is the only one who can even ''consider'' sticking to a plan. Yes, he's a wet blanket, but when your roommates are as [[TooDumbToLive dumb]] as Meatwad and Shake, it's forgivable. |
| 364 | * TheStoic: In the earliest episodes, he seldom raised his voice or even changed his expression, in stark contrast to the rest of the series. He'll still dip into this role from time to time, though it's pretty rare. |
| 365 | * TheStraightMan: The archetypal Straight Man to Shake and Carl's Wise Guys. |
| 366 | * SurroundedByIdiots: He lives with a jerkish milkshake, a [[{{Manchild}} childish]], [[TheDitz painfully naïve]] meatball, and next door to an unpleasant middle-aged man. This trope comes with the territory, and THEN some. |
| 367 | * TeamDad: Often the voice of authority and reason, especially to Shake. He has no problem laying down discipline, like sending Meatwad to his room or even zapping his roommates and their possessions. |
| 368 | * TeamMom: Mostly to Meatwad, or in a firmer sense to Shake when he's bullying Meatwad. He can be downright nurturing, at times. |
| 369 | * TokenGoodTeammate: He's the only main character who has a proper moral compass, though he's been known to have his moments of [[NotSoAboveItAll extreme depravity]] [[EveryoneHasStandards that shock the others]]. |
| 370 | * TokenReligiousTeammate: He seems to take his faith very seriously. Shake doesn't buy it, though. |
| 371 | --> '''Shake''': ''(referring to Meatwad)'' Look at him and tell me there's a God! |
| 372 | -->'''Meatwad''': He made me in His own image. |
| 373 | -->'''Shake''': Oh, yeah, that's right. God's a big meatball! I forgot! |
| 374 | * TranquilFury: At a lot of points, it's hard not to get the feeling that Frylock's just one second away from beating [[{{Jerkass}} Shake's]] ass, ESPECIALLY in the later episodes. |
| 375 | * VocalEvolution: While his voice has always been deep, he sounded considerably more deadpan in the first few episodes. |
| 376 | * WhenHeSmiles: Frylock isn't above cracking a smile when he's actually in a good mood, or excited about something. |
| 377 | * WrongGenreSavvy: At the beginning of the first season, he acted like he was in a typical superhero cartoon rather than a QuirkyWork, and treated most of the situations the Aqua Teens got into with dead seriousness. By the time the Mooninites showed up, this trope was thrown out the window. |
| 378 | * {{Yandere}}: Most notably in ''Fry Legs'', though Frylock tends to have small shades of this in general, when he has his eye on a girl and someone else is competing with him for their attention in some way. |

| 386 | !!!'''Voiced by: Dave Willis''' |
| 387 | |
| 388 | [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin A wad of meat]]. Supremely naive and just as dim-witted as Shake, but is generally portrayed as a friendly and kind-hearted lil' fella. |
| 389 | ------------ |
| 390 | * AbandonedCatchphrase: "The bun is in your mind!" was his original catchphrase in "Baffler Meal", but this was dropped in the show proper. |
| 391 | * AchievementsInIgnorance: In the finale it's revealed [[spoiler:he used to have a jewel like Frylock and Shake, but traded it away. Since he didn't know he needed it to live, he stayed alive.]] |
| 392 | * AcquiredSituationalNarcissism: In "Chicken and Beans", where the resulting fame of a viral video he was in causes him to betray the Aqua Teens in exchange for a rich, celebrity lifestyle, having a terrible attitude towards Frylock when asked to come home. Naturally, Meatwad's punished for this in short order. |
| 393 | * AllLovingHero: On a show known for cynicism and rampant absurdity, Meatwad tends to serve as TheHeart among the many [[AntiHero Anti-Heroes]] and [[TheSociopath sociopaths]]. It ''kind'' of works out now and again, assuming his own insanity doesn't take over. |
| 394 | * AmbiguousGender: Widely accepted to be a male, but him being a literal wad of meat, and his androgynous voice helps muddle things. Discussed and played for laughs in ''"Gee Whiz"'' |
| 395 | -->'''Frylock:''' ''Meatwad, you can't'' '''''possibly''''' ''be pregnant!''\ |
| 396 | '''Meatwad:''' Ye of little faith, how do you know that?\ |
| 397 | '''Frylock:''' First off, you're a ma-...'''''[[{{Beat}} (Beat)]]'''''...uh, well, you're kind of a-...I don't know, you're a male!\ |
| 398 | '''Meatwad:''' I am?! ''Awesome, that is so cool!'' [[LampshadeHanging I always wanted a gender!]] |
| 399 | * AntiHero: Ping-pongs wildly between a ClassicalAntiHero, UnscrupulousHero and even a NominalHero depending on the episode. Meatwad ultimately means well, but is usually too stupid and insane to be genuinely helpful. |
| 400 | * AsteroidsMonster: As revealed in "Multiple Meats", Meatwad is capable of multiplying when pieces of body are removed. Near the end of the episode, there are approximately ''107'' Meatwads. |
| 401 | * AttentionDeficitOohShiny: He has a ''very'' small attention span. A good example would be in "Unremarkable Voyage", where he immediately gets distracted by a giant hot dog when he was supposed to [[ItMakesSenseInContext get Frylock and Carl out of Shake's body and return them to normal size]]. |
| 402 | * AxCrazy: As a possible side-effect of his spaciness, Meatwad is occasionally shown to be outright deranged; how else do you describe him ''threatening to gouge Frylock's eyes out'' for not giving him wing sauce with his celery? |
| 403 | * TheBabyOfTheBunch: Meatwad is, without a doubt, the most oblivious and childlike member of the Aqua Teens and is rarely taken seriously by the other two. Rather, he is used as a scapegoat for their schemes. Since he's unable to think for himself, Frylock constantly has to nurture him with affection and help against his mental deficiency, which [[AttentionWhore Shake]] usually gets jealous of. |
| 404 | * BewareTheNiceOnes: He's generally the [[BewareTheSillyOnes goofiest]], nicest and most easy-going of the Aqua Teens, though pissing him off is '''NOT''' a good idea; just ask Shake, whenever the latter takes his bullying a step too far. Even ''[[TeamDad Frylock]]'' has gotten on the wrong side of Meatwad's temper on occasion, as a few episodes show. |
| 405 | * BigEater: When trying to enter the pool, Frylock notes Meatwad ate 40 hot dogs. Meatwad denies this, then proudly corrects him with 48. |
| 406 | * BitchInSheepsClothing: Meatwad is most definitely the kindest member of the trio, but he can still be rather bratty and demanding if Frylock opposes his dumber actions and will become an arrogant prick whenever he gets some form of fame. |
| 407 | * BrattyHalfPint: His dynamic with Frylock has shades of this every now and then, as Meatwad will often get irritable when Frylock lampshades his irrational ideals or tells the hurtful truth, leading Meatwad to whine and cry like a spoiled child to bring out his sympathy. |
| 408 | * BreakTheCutie: He is frequently on the receiving end of Master Shake's psychological torment. This makes the moments where he manages to [[TheDogBitesBack get his vengeance]] all the sweeter. |
| 409 | ** "Zucotti Manicotti" is probably the worst offender, where Shake effectively manipulates Meatwad into murdering his childhood hero. The episode ends with Meatwad traumatized and huddled up in his dark room with a noose hanging on the ceiling, implying that Shake had pushed him to the ''brink of suicide''. |
| 410 | * BumblingSidekick: Meatwad may not be bright, but he's usually more stable than Shake; hence, he tends to be Frylock's lab assistant in certain episodes. |
| 411 | * ButtMonkey: He gets abused and manipulated quite frequently by Shake. |
| 412 | * CaptainObvious: Due to being... well, a dipshit, Meatwad tends to state the obvious. |
| 413 | -->'''Meatwad:''' 20 cents off my next order of wasabi fries, alright! You see, they fill the fries with wasabi sauce. |
| 414 | * CharacterCatchphrase: "I ain't got no damn money" and variations thereof. |
| 415 | * CharacterDevelopment: He gradually catches wise to how manipulative Shake is, and eventually starts giving as good as he gets. |
| 416 | * CharacterizationMarchesOn: As the series progresses, Meatwad noticeably becomes (relatively) smarter and less likely to fall for Shake's manipulation. He also seems to become more mature, as he exhibits more sexual curiosity and knowledge of adult culture, something that his previous self wouldn't have been able to do due to his infantile mindset. His childishness and stupidity remain, though it's not as prevalent as it is in earlier seasons. |
| 417 | * TheChewToy: Shake's abuse towards Meatwad is mostly intended to get a laugh from the audience. |
| 418 | * {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Meatwad's perception is...special, all right. |
| 419 | * CompanionCube: Meatwad is friends with an apple, a toilet paper tube, and a box named "Boxy Brown", all of whom he anthropomorphizes. |
| 420 | * CorruptTheCutie: Due to how painfully stupid he is, Meatwad gets morally corrupt at least once per season. His childlike naivety is a frequent source of exploitation by Master Shake, and most of his maturity is inherited from the latter's presence. |
| 421 | * {{Cuckoosnarker}}: While Meatwad is far from normal, that doesn't mean he's not above using sarcasm in his more lucid moments. |
| 422 | * TheCutie: Hopelessly naive and innocent, as well as the cuddliest-looking little ball of meat you'll ever find. |
| 423 | * DeliberatelyCuteChild: A RunningGag, most especially seen in the earlier seasons, is that whenever Frylock expresses bluntness, Meatwad cries like a little kid until Frylock takes back what he said. |
| 424 | * DependingOnTheWriter: His maturity level, stupidity and moral compass all vary heavily depending on the episode... [[RuleOfFunny or what's funniest]]: |
| 425 | ** He's either adorably childlike and innocent (especially in the earlier episodes), merely an adult with a childish mindset, or as mature-minded as his roommates. The second portrayal is probably the most common one, starting with the 4th season. |
| 426 | ** He's either the most moronic character in the series by a wide margin, about as dumb as Shake, or merely somewhat dim. Episodes like ''Bookie'' show that he can be genuinely clever and manipulative when he really wants to be, but that's only once in a blue moon. |
| 427 | ** He's either genuinely heroic, well-meaning but unhelpful, or just as demented and amoral as the others. |
| 428 | * TheDitz: [[ExaggeratedTrope And that's putting it]] ''[[ExaggeratedTrope extremely]]'' [[ExaggeratedTrope mildly.]] He's regularly outsmarted and manipulated by [[TooDumbToLive SHAKE, of all]] [[LethallyStupid people,]] is rarely able to follow directions, and says some of the dumbest shit you'll ever hear in your life. [[spoiler:According to the first film, this is because Dr. Weird couldn't be bothered to give him a brain and substituted it with Cheez Wiz.]] |
| 429 | * DrunkWithPower: Anytime he gets his hands on ''anything'' that grants him power, it promptly goes to his head and all hell breaks loose. |
| 430 | * DumbassHasAPoint: Amazingly enough, even Meatwad can make an accurate observation now and again. |
| 431 | * DumbIsGood: The "good" part varies heavily [[DependingOnTheWriter depending on the episode]], though he's generally a well-intentioned idiot. |
| 432 | * EarnYourHappyEnding: |
| 433 | ** After over a decade of constant abuse from Master Shake, [[spoiler:the series finale reveals that after Shake and Frylock's deaths, Meatwad gets married, starts a family, and overall finally leads a happy, normal life.]] |
| 434 | ** Ultimately [[spoiler:[[SubvertedTrope subverted]], since it [[BaitAndSwitch wasn't the real finale]]. The real finale [[StatusQuoIsGod doesn't change a whole lot]], though he's the only character who's not dead or in prison by the end]]. |
| 435 | * ExtremeDoormat: Meatwad falls into this from time to time in regards to Shake's torment, at least in the earlier seasons. |
| 436 | * ExtremeOmnivore: He seems to be capable of eating just about ''anything'', from a computer chip to Shake's ''vomit''. He's also eaten 48 hot dogs in one sitting. |
| 437 | * {{Foil}}: Meatwad's personality highlights Shake's by contrast. Both of them are [[TheDitz incredibly stupid]] (and sometimes even TooDumbToLive), [[{{Manchild}} immature]] and [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} possess the logic of a lunatic]], but they differ from each other in that: |
| 438 | ** Shake is an incredibly mean, self-serving, narcissistic, sociopathic douchebag who possesses a total disregard for life. |
| 439 | ** Meatwad is a perpetually optimistic, sweet, and childlike individual who typically tries to do the right thing. |
| 440 | * TheFool: Shake certainly thinks so. While Meatwad certainly is gullible in [[TooDumbToLive the worst way possible]], he's also irritatingly lucky at that and seems to be [[MadeOfIron indestructible]]. For example, when Shake leaves Meatwad in the washing machine for a week in "Balloonenstein", instead of dying like one would expect, Meatwad instead gains the super power to zap others with electricity. And in "Remooned", when Shake microwaves Meatwad for 5 minutes in an attempt to kill him, '''twice''', Meatwad is still intact afterward. |
| 441 | * FourTemperamentEnsemble: Phlegmatic. Meatwad is incredibly placid, and since he's dumb as a post, he'll go along with almost anything he's told. |
| 442 | * GeniusDitz: He's ''shockingly'' capable with instruments, is shown to easily outsmart Shake and even ''Frylock'' when motivated, and, if ''Bookie'' is anything to go by, very well-versed in betting. These talents show that, for all of his stupidity, Meatwad isn't '''entirely''' useless. |
| 443 | %% * HappilyMarried: [[spoiler:In the DistantFinale.]] |
| 444 | * TheHeart: The closest thing this show has to one. He's generally so sweet and innocent that he wouldn't even hurt a fly unless provoked. This is occasionally [[SubvertedTrope subverted]] during his more deranged moments, though not very often. |
| 445 | * HiddenDepths: As described in the GeniusDitz entry, Meatwad has plenty of talents and capabilities that occasionally crop up to show that he isn't a complete fuck-up. |
| 446 | * HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: He consistently views the Mooninites as his friends when it's pretty obvious that they're using him in the name of personal gain. Same goes for [[{{Jerkass}} Shake and Carl]], though they're shown to genuinely care about him on rare occasions. |
| 447 | * ImaginationBasedSuperpower: How his shapeshifting actually works. It's just that he's usually not bright enough to imagine anything other than an igloo or a hot dog. |
| 448 | * InnocentlyInsensitive: A large amount of Meatwad's misdeeds are born out of sheer ignorance, when he's not being portrayed as [[AxCrazy genuinely violently insane]]. |
| 449 | * InsufferableGenius: Turned into one in "Dumber Days." After discovering that his brain is actually a toy, Frylock gives Meatwad a new one with the help of Carl, which not only causes Meatwad's body to grow in size, but made him act like an arrogant know-it-all. [[note]]although the brain he was given was really just his old toy brain that Frylock decorated with glitter and macaroni; Frylock explained that Meatwad's brain power was a case of mind over matter.[[/note]] |
| 450 | * InTouchWithHisFeminineSide: While it's likely meant to reflect his childish personality, Meatwad is shown to have a liking for things traditionally considered feminine, such as unicorns, dolls, and the color pink. He's also the most openly emotional character in the show. |
| 451 | * IronButtMonkey: One could infer that Meatwad is MadeOfIron. Some of Shake's attempts to torment Meatwad backfire and thus leave him unaffected in the aftermath, be it leaving him in the laundry machine for a week and microwaving him with tin foil in the oven. |
| 452 | * JerkassBall: Whenever he acquires any form of superiority over someone else, he becomes almost as bad as Shake. |
| 453 | * KidHero: At least [[{{Manchild}} mentally]], anyway. Meatwad is the most childlike of the Aqua Teens and is generally the most heroic one, alongside Frylock. |
| 454 | * KindheartedSimpleton: He's dumb as a sack of bricks, but usually quite nice. ''How'' kind-hearted varies quite a lot, of course, though he generally doesn't mean any harm whatsoever. |
| 455 | * TheKirk: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted.]] While he ''tries'' to be the mediator between Shake and Frylock, he's too laid back, [[CloudCuckooLander fog-brained]] and [[TheDitz dumb]] to make his own decisions, let alone affect theirs. |
| 456 | * LivingToys: They're not really toys, but he can still talk to them. The others can talk to them in "Shake Like Me". In "Dumber Dolls", Frylock buys him an actual living toy, which turns out to be TheEeyore. |
| 457 | * MadeOfBologna: Well, hamburger meat, but still. |
| 458 | * MadeOfIron: He's surprisingly difficult to kill, as he has shrugged off land mines exploding beneath him and cutting him in half merely splits him into two smaller Meatwads. |
| 459 | * {{Manchild}}: One of the biggest examples in WesternAnimation. Meatwad plays with toddler toys, watches ''Series/SesameStreet''-like shows, has an extremely childlike view of the world, is often unable to think for himself, and talks/acts exactly like someone far younger than him would. As a result, Frylock and him basically have a father-son relationship. [[spoiler:By the end of the series, he's grown out of this ''immensely''.]] |
| 460 | * ManipulativeBastard: To Master Shake, [[SincerityMode seriously]]. Shake often runs circles around him, but Meatwad is surprisingly good at using Shake's vanity and need for attention against him. |
| 461 | * MeaningfulName: Yes, he is a wad of meat. |
| 462 | * MisterSeahorse: Somehow becomes pregnant in "Gee Whiz". [[spoiler:Turns out his "pregnancy" was actually a growing colony of spiders that were residing in his body]]. |
| 463 | * NiceGuy: Out of the entire trio, Meatwad is arguably the kindest of them all in that he has the sweetness of a child and makes friends with just about everyone he comes in contact with. |
| 464 | * NightmareFuelStationAttendant: Just look at his "dolls". He even says that he can relate to a DarkerAndEdgier ''Series/SesameStreet'' telling him, "You're gonna die." |
| 465 | * NixonMask: In "[[HalloweenEpisode The Shaving]]". |
| 466 | * {{Objectshifting}}: Has the ability to mold his body into other shapes, most commonly a hot dog and an igloo. From time to time, he shows off more unusual forms: at one point in the movie, he becomes an entire office building. |
| 467 | * PictorialSpeechBubble: His letters and notes to other characters always consist of crudely sketched figures, objects, and scribbles (most having barely any relevance to what he intended to write), accompanied by a voice-over of him reading "it" aloud. |
| 468 | * ProneToTears: Like a very young and immature child, Meatwad tends to have his feelings hurt very easily, such as being told that he doesn't have hair or that his fictional idols don't exist. This seems to be a RunningGag between him and Frylock, where Meatwad persistently cries until Frylock takes back what he said out of sympathy for him. |
| 469 | * SanityBall: Prone to holding it when paired with Shake or when Frylock is acting like an eccentric inventor. |
| 470 | * SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: He is essentially the Sensitive Guy to both Shake and Frylock's Manly Men. Meatwad has the interests of a little kid, tends to have his feelings hurt very easily, has little strength or courage, and is [[SuperGullible easy to]] [[TooDumbToLive manipulate]]. Shake and Frylock, on the other hand, aren't fooled by exploitation and possess more knowledge in adult culture. |
| 471 | * SeriesMascot: Of all three of the Aqua Teens, Meatwad is the most marketed. He has the most appearances outside of his series; being featured on numerous DVD covers and the Christmas soundtrack without Shake and Frylock, appears in commercials and commercial bumps, had an honest-to-God ''[[http://ew.com/article/2010/09/17/giant-athf-meat-wad-hot-air-balloon-finally-hits-stores-today/ hot air balloon for a time]]'', and series creator Dave Willis joked about Meatwad appearing in a kid's show. In "Mouth Quest", he's even referred to as the "popular meatball character". |
| 472 | * ShapeshiftingSound: Shapeshifts with a variety of organic squishing sound-effects in early seasons. |
| 473 | * ShockAndAwe: In "Balloonenstein", after Shake puts him in the dryer for a week. |
| 474 | * SimpletonVoice: His child-like voice befits his complete lack of intellengce. |
| 475 | * SoleSurvivor: [[spoiler:With Chicken Bittle killed prior to the series and Frylock and Shake both permanently dying in the series finale, Meatwad is the only member of the Aqua Teens left alive. Downplayed in the true finale, as all 3 of the Aqua Teens were shown perfectly fine at the end, although Meatwad was the only one who wasn't incarcerated.]] |
| 476 | * SpoiledBrat: It's not uncommon for Meatwad to whine like an obnoxious child to bring out Frylock's support. |
| 477 | * SuperGullible: Meatwad is overly trusting and very easy to manipulate. Shake especially ''loves'' to exploit this. |
| 478 | * TooDumbToLive: Although he's not nearly as self-destructive as Shake, he still has his moments. In one episode in which Shake covers the floor with land mines to deal with their rat infestation, Meatwad ends up setting off more mines than the rats do. The most notorious example would have to be in "Time Machine", in the episode, Meatwad blindly talks to an exterminator not knowing a MISSILE is coming towards him! It's one of the few episodes where Meatwad actually dies. |
| 479 | * TookALevelInBadass: In "Last Dance For Napkin Lad", and in the series finale when [[spoiler:it's revealed that he eventually ends up as a mature person with a loving family]]. |
| 480 | * UnexplainedAccent: Despite the series taking place in New Jersey, located in the northeastern part of the United States, Meatwad has a slight southern accent. |
| 481 | * VagueAge: Whether he’s a child or an [[ManChild extremely childish adult]] depends on the episode. He's been stated to be 6, 38, and ''55'', and it’s a plot point in “Robo Sitter” that he can’t work under child labor laws. Of course, due to being created by Dr. Weird, it's generally agreed upon that he's around the same age as the other Aqua Teens. |
| 482 | * VocalEvolution: Throughout most of the first season, his voice was rather high-pitched and kind of squeaky. Afterwards, his voice slightly deepened and lost some of the squeaking. |
| 483 | * VoluntaryShapeshifter: He usually only limits himself to turning into a hotdog or an igloo, since those are the only forms he can usually remember. |
| 484 | * YouNoTakeCandle: Often speaks this way. |

| 486 | |
| 487 | [[folder:Chicken Bittle]] |
| 488 | !!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/BruceCampbell |
| 489 | |
| 490 | Introduced in ''WesternAnimation/AquaTeenHungerForceColonMovieFilmForTheaters'', Chicken Bittle is the forgotten fourth member of the Aqua Teens, who died long before the series from a lion attack. |
| 491 | ---- |
| 492 | * TheComicallySerious: He acts like a hardened soldier and speaks in military lingo despite not being a member of the armed services, being a living chicken nugget, and surrounded by the far less serious Aqua Teens. |
| 493 | * DeathByOriginStory: He was eaten by a lion in the Aqua Teens' backstory. Shake and Meatwad never noticed or even remembered him because they were too busy playing video games. |
| 494 | * ForgottenFallenFriend: He's the long-dead fourth Aqua Teen, but Frylock rarely mentions him and Meatwad and Shake never knew he existed because they were too busy playing their Gameboys. |
| 495 | * FusionDance: [[spoiler:He was created when Dr. Weird had a million chickens pressed together.]]. |
| 496 | * KilledOffForReal: His death is the only one in the series that actually ''stuck''. |
| 497 | * OnlySaneMan: Downplayed, given both his lack of screentime and given [[spoiler:his misguided loyalty to Dr. Weird]], but he came off as being legitimately competent unlike Meatwad and Shake. Unfortunately, he got eaten by a lion before he could do anything. |
| 498 | * TooDumbToLive: [[spoiler:Dr. Weird created the Aqua Teens solely to crash a plane into a brick wall,]] and Chicken Bittle was fully willing to do it. He was actually ''outraged'' Frylock stopped him. |
| 499 | * WrongGenreSavvy: He operates under the impression he's in a military action film, rather than the absurd and bizarre ''ATHF'' universe. He's promptly eaten by a lion for his mistake. |

| 502 | !!Recurring Characters |
| 503 | |
| 504 | [[folder:Carl Brutananadilewski]] |
| 505 | -> ''Can't stop, won't stop, doing that thang, swinging that swag man, banging with the gang. Looking at my Gucci, looking for that coochie - Yeah, I'm just trying to get some coochie!'' |
| 506 | [[quoteright:320:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/13860364044500_2525.jpg]] |
| 507 | [[caption-width-right:320: "''I look at my life everyday... and I '''pop a boner.'''''"]] |
| 508 | !!!'''Voiced by: Dave Willis, Creator/MCChris (young)''' |
| 509 | |
| 510 | Their fat, bald, middle-aged neighbor. |
| 511 | ------------ |
| 512 | * AllMenArePerverts: He owns a crap ton of pornography and is often shown to have many bizarre sexual fetishes. He also goes to "Melon Shakers" (a strip club) very frequently, masturbates to the yoga channel, and just generally tries hard to get himself laid. |
| 513 | * AMFMCharacterization: He's a huge fan of 70s and 80s classic rock and enjoys Foreigner, Loverboy, Led Zeppelin, Judas Priest, Krokus, Ted Nugent, Bryan Adams, and Boston. He considers "More Than a Feeling" as the best song in the universe. |
| 514 | %% * AntiHero: An example of UnscrupulousHero. |
| 515 | * AntiRoleModel: Not exactly on any higher moral ground than the Aqua Teens. |
| 516 | * BiggerIsBetterInBed: In "Unremarkable Voyage", Carl uses Frylock's ShrinkRay to enlarge the size of his penis. |
| 517 | * BlackBeadEyes: His eyes are just two black dots. |
| 518 | * BornUnlucky: Carl had an abusive childhood in which he was raised in abject poverty without a mother and had the most [[AbusiveParents pathetic excuse for a dad]]. His misery carried on into his adulthood, where he was forced to live next door to a trio of sentient fast food products who put him through hell both unintentionally ''and'' intentionally, can never get the girl of his dreams, still lives in abject poverty, and in general is a CosmicPlaything. |
| 519 | * ButtMonkey: Carl has it as bad as [[WesternAnimation/SouthPark Kenny McCormick]]. With the Aqua Teens getting his car and house destroyed, along with his pool being used without his permission, he's been killed numerous, hospitalized, raped by dogs and eaten alive by a swarm of vampire bats. All of these are treated comically, and it helps that Carl is openly sexist, homophobic and rude so that the audience doesn't feel too bad for him |
| 520 | * CarpetOfVirility: The man is a ''very'' hairy individual. |
| 521 | * CasanovaWannabe: Despite his claims, most of the women he gets on his own are ugly hookers. He even wears a medallion like the [[VideoGame/LeisureSuitLarry former]] TropeNamer. |
| 522 | * CharacterCatchphrase: |
| 523 | ** "Ya' know what I'm saying?" or "Ya' know what I mean?" |
| 524 | ** "What's in it for me?" |
| 525 | ** "Tonight!" |
| 526 | * CharacterTics: {{Facepalm}}ing in response to stupidity. |
| 527 | * TheChewToy: His most noticeable trait is that he gets shafted all the time, just for living next door to the Aqua Teens. Despite this, his status as a ButtMonkey is clearly meant to make the audience laugh. |
| 528 | * CompleteImmortality: He uses the magic shampoo Frylock has and becomes this. He also gets imprisoned and is consistently electrocuted in an attempt to execute him. He just laughs at the effort. |
| 529 | * ConditionedToAcceptHorror: Carl's father forced him to eat carpeting for meals and made him start working in the insulation-making business at age ''eight.'' Then as an adult, Carl started living next to the Aqua Teens, who either subject him to terrible things on a daily basis or invite those things into his life just by being his neighbors. By this point, Carl has almost completely lost any sort of fear, instead reacting to everything from space aliens to horrific mutilation with exasperated frustration. |
| 530 | * CosmicPlaything: Carl seems the be the universe's main punching bag, even at times where he has done little to deserve his torment. |
| 531 | -->'''Carl:''' I don't know if I believe in God but... I think he must hate me. |
| 532 | * CrankyNeighbor: Not that it's unjustified, and there's an emphasis on "cranky," but Carl very often gets upset whenever the Aqua Teens use his pool or enter his house without his permission. |
| 533 | * CruelAndUnusualDeath: Whenever he gets killed, it's almost always in a brutal manner. |
| 534 | * DeadpanSnarker: Rivals Frylock and Shake as the most sarcastic character in the show. |
| 535 | * DiscoStu: Has a somewhat outdated sensibility of what's cool as showcased with the Time Share episode, thinking head bandanas and leather jackets are still the pinnacle of fashion. Also a big fan of 70s and 80s Arena Rock which he mentioned attending during his youth. |
| 536 | * DirtyOldMan: While he's not super old, Carl won't pass up a chance to hit on or try to seduce any woman into sleeping with him, regardless of consent or age. |
| 537 | * DependingOnTheWriter: He either loathes his neighbors and distances himself from them or is friends with them and hangs out with them. |
| 538 | * EveryoneHasStandards: |
| 539 | ** Despite it being clear he hates the Aqua Teens and their constant intrusion in his life, he can be horrified if something awful happens to them. He was saddened for Frylock when he developed cancer and he was horrified when Meatwad once tore Shake's eyes out and put them on his face. |
| 540 | ** He's unwilling to have sex with Tammy Tangerine, a sentient fruit. |
| 541 | ** He thinks wraps are "[[DeliberateValuesDissonance for pussies]]", but quickly points out in "The Broodwrap" that the titular wrap claiming to be vegan has animal byproducts like monkey semen and seems genuinely upset about it lying what it is. |
| 542 | * {{Facepalm}}: He tends to react this way to stupidity. |
| 543 | * FantasticRacism: He makes it clear part of his dislike of the Aqua Teens is that they're not human, frequently calling them freaks. |
| 544 | * FatBastard: A short-tempered, vulgar, fat man. |
| 545 | * FatIdiot: More ignorant than stupid. |
| 546 | * FatSlob: He's a rather lazy and slovenly guy. |
| 547 | * FourTemperamentEnsemble: Choleric. We did say he's short tempered and vulgar. |
| 548 | * FreudianExcuse: When taking the sheer amount of shit that the Aqua Teens put him through into account, as well as his abusive and negligent upbringing, it's not hard to see why he's such a jerk. |
| 549 | * FriendInTheBlackMarket: Terry, Carl's go-to guy for illegal material, such as organs. |
| 550 | * HilariouslyAbusiveChildhood: Carl was a ButtMonkey even as a child; his father's Christmas gift to him was carpet squares. To eat. And he had to work at an insulation factory that same Christmas. |
| 551 | * IdiotBall: Despite his common sense, Carl is sometimes dumb enough to fall for Shake's antics, like when he jumped out the window in pursuit of his lasagna when it was clearly obvious that Shake was trying to kill him. |
| 552 | * ImageSong: "I Don't Need No Instructions To Know How To Rock!" |
| 553 | * IncompatibleOrientation: He's straight, as well as openly homophobic, so he reacts poorly to perceived interests the Aqua Teens show, as well as greatly disliking Handbanana. |
| 554 | * ItsAllAboutMe: Carl only does favors for others if there's something in return for him. |
| 555 | * JerkassHasAPoint: Carl's case is also understandable given how he bears the brunt of the Aqua Teens' antics. |
| 556 | * JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: Whenever Carl does good things for others, there's notably some selfishness behind his kindness, as he'll usually ask how doing so will benefit him. |
| 557 | * KarmicButtMonkey: Carl is a rude, lazy, and bigoted jerk. Hence, few people will feel sorry for him when he suffers any kind of misfortune, especially if he brought that misfortune on himself. |
| 558 | * KarmicDeath: Like with Shake, many of Carl's deaths are this. |
| 559 | ** In "Storage Zeebles", Carl finds a [[Franchise/TheSmurfs magical world]] and decides to ransack the entire dimension, harvesting all of its resources while exploiting the native species's kindness. Even when the Zeebles' king is begging him to stop, Carl makes it overwhelmingly clear that he doesn't care if they all starve and die. In turn, Carl is mauled to death by the "[[TheDreaded Night Wolf]]", starting with his [[GroinAttack crotch]]. |
| 560 | ** In "Hospice", Carl purposely maxes out his mother's credit card while she's dying of cancer. In turn, she (whose cancer has entered remission) decides to ''burn him alive''. |
| 561 | * LargeHam: He has shades of this, as his vocal delivery can sometimes be over-the-top and dramatic. |
| 562 | * LaserGuidedKarma: He admits in "Handbanana" he thought rape was funny. After being raped by the titular dog, he doesn't have that opinion anymore. |
| 563 | * LazyBum: He does nothing but sit on his lazy ass all day 99% of the time. |
| 564 | * LoserProtagonist: Perpetually poor, unemployed, starving, unlucky in love, and generally unlucky in life. |
| 565 | * LowerClassLout: He personifies this trope by living a heavily boorish and unhealthy lifestyle. |
| 566 | * NoodleIncident: Mostly centered around his friend, Terry, who's been in jail for crimes too gruesome to mention. |
| 567 | * NotSoAboveItAll: Carl is usually the Aqua Teens' voice of reason, yet he himself isn't free of eccentricity, as he's an over-the-top, sex-crazed maniac. |
| 568 | * OddFriendship: The closest thing he has with Meatwad, as he's less hostile to him in comparison to how he is with Frylock and especially Shake. This is likey due to how he hates Shake for his {{Jerkass}} behavior and Frylock for being his designated guinea pig for experiments, while Meatwad at most, just bothers him. |
| 569 | * OnlyFriend: He would never admit it, but as much as he hates the Aqua Teens, they are the only people who would willingly hang out with him. "Anubis" makes this is a point where Carl has to gather ten friends to invite to party and ends up with the Aqua Teens and no one else. In the aptly titled "[[ADayInTheLimelight Carl]]", we see that Carl lives an absolutely pathetic and loathsome life outside of being a victim to their antics. |
| 570 | * OnlySaneByComparison: Carl's an ignorant, sex-crazed, crude, lazy bum. On any other show, he'd be the wacky next-door neighbor. However, since he's the neighbor of the ''Aqua Teens'', he's the sane one by default. |
| 571 | * PetTheDog: He let Frylock, who was dying of cancer in one episode, stay at his place for the time being (albeit after wearing a mask to cover his face because he thinks cancer is contagious). |
| 572 | * ThePigPen: Hygiene is pretty low on Carl's priority list. |
| 573 | * ThePiratesWhoDontDoAnything: When asked about his job, he claims he "works out of the home", but he's never actually seen doing any work and there's no evidence of it in his home. |
| 574 | ** In season 6, he tells Frylock he studied elevator repair. |
| 575 | ** Occasionally, Carl is shown to be selling counterfeit sports and music merchandise, which might account for at least some of his income. He's also shown to be connected to various illegal activities as well. |
| 576 | * PoliticallyIncorrectHero: "Politically Incorrect ''Anti''-Hero" would be more accurate, but Carl displays a lot of sexism and occasional homophobia and racism throughout the show. |
| 577 | * PrematurelyBald: His hairline is already receding when he's seen as a child in the flashback from "Cybernetic Ghost of Christmas Past from the Future". |
| 578 | * SeenItAll: Carl has seen and been through so much weird shit that he reacts very casually to aliens in his yard, Frylock's bizarre inventions, and [[ItMakesSenseInContext the fix for the elf blood flooding his house being sex with a giant red gorilla in space]]. He might react with anything but resigned exasperation to fury to pragmatism, but he's used to it. Also, according to him (and as evidenced by the mummy in the crawlspace), the people who lived next door before the Aqua Teens moved in were ''even weirder''. See UnfazedEveryman. |
| 579 | * SixthRanger: He's not a member of the Aqua Teens, but he's easily the most recognizable character outside of them and is more often than not seen hanging out with them. |
| 580 | * SourOutsideSadInside: Carl is a grumpy boor with a high opinion of himself but he's also shown to be a lonely, pathetic man who's desperate for companionship, especially from a woman, who has no friends outside of the food neighbors he hates interacting with and is occasionally shown to be up to his eyeballs in debt to violent mobsters due to his sports gambling addiction. |
| 581 | * SpinOff: Hosted the web series "Carl's Stone Cold Lock of the Century of the Week" where he would pick one [[UsefulNotes/NationalFootballLeague NFL]] game per week to predict the winner. As an unabashed New York Giants fan, when they come up he usually picks them to win, even if the team is terrible that season. |
| 582 | * StoutStrength: Carl is a pretty tough guy despite being a fat, lazy slob who prefers fad diets over exercise. |
| 583 | * TeenyWeenie: It's revealed that he has a tiny penis in "Larry Miller Hair System". |
| 584 | * TheyKilledKennyAgain: Carl dies ridiculously often, usually because of something the Aqua Teens did. |
| 585 | * ThrowTheDogABone: When the Cybernetic Ghost of Christmas Past from the Future causes his pool to become filled with elf blood in the first season finale, he sells his house to Music/{{Danzig}} for a million dollars and isn't seen for the rest of the episode, so presumably he got his million. Of course, since the show has NegativeContinuity he's back at his house again at the start of the next season. |
| 586 | * TooDumbToLive: In "Lasagna", while Carl is in the hospital, Shake places a tray of his delicious lasagna on the windowsill to taunt him. Carl knows that chasing after the lasagna will ultimately culminate in his death, but he can't resist and does so anyway. |
| 587 | ** In a Slim Jim commercial, in a very Shake-like stunt, he coats himself and his house with flammable hand sanitizer and lights himself to promote Slim Jim meat sticks by being like a "human Slim Jim". You can only guess what happened next. |
| 588 | * TookALevelInJerkass: Carl became really prone to committing crimes and even murder in later seasons. |
| 589 | * TookALevelInKindness: Maybe to combat the above, he also begins to openly associate himself with the Aqua Teens more often, rather than going to great lengths to distance himself from them. |
| 590 | * TokenHuman: To the Aqua Teens in that, while he's not the only human character on the show, he's the only one to have a consistently recurring role. |
| 591 | * TranquilFury: He has a tendency to express his anger in a calm or deadpan manner. An example would be in "Deleted Scenes," where he points a loaded shotgun at Shake as revenge for literally having him shove a broom up his ass for their movie. Carl, during his exchange with the TooDumbToLive Shake, expresses his threats in a laid back demeanor. |
| 592 | -->'''Shake:''' Ah, Carl, so you found a little prop gun for yourself. |
| 593 | -->'''Carl:''' ''(calmly)'' No, no, no, it's not a prop gun, it's a ''shot''gun. They use it for uh, for death. |
| 594 | * UndignifiedDeath: About a few deaths Carl has experienced are far from decent, but many take the cake in how hilarious or embarrassing they can be. These include being crushed to death by a giant chicken, having his arms ripped off by an ObliviouslyEvil Willie who was thirsty for some "juice", and his voice actor's personal favorite, having his entire body from the neck down sucked into a super toilet. |
| 595 | * UnfazedEveryman: It's rare for him to be legitimately shocked by the craziness he surrounds himself with. In fact, in some cases, he'll even join in with it. |
| 596 | -->'''Carl:''' ''(yelling at the [[ItMakesSenseInContext two giant Easter eggs destroying his house]])'' 'Ey, make sure the house is completely crushed if you could! |
| 597 | * TheUnpronouncable: His last name is pretty darn close. When Frylock tries to read it off a piece of paper in an episode, Carl says to just call him "Smith." Later on a DJ approximates Carl's last name as "Brutowski." Carl angrily shouts the correct pronounciation, which sounds like a jumble of random syllables. |
| 598 | ** "It's Brutananadilewski! And you get the Hell outta here!" |
| 599 | * UnsympatheticComedyProtagonist: Depending on the episode. While Carl is a self-centered, ignorant, crude, and perverted asshole, he makes the audience laugh with his jerkish ways. However, the "unsympathetic" part is a bit of a stretch, as while he does occasionally commit morally ambiguous acts, it's definitely hard not to pity him based on [[ButtMonkey the amount of times he has been put through hell]]. |
| 600 | * VerbalTic: Says the words "frick" and "frig" a lot. |
| 601 | * VocalEvolution: In the first several episodes, his voice was pretty raspy and not as gruff compared to later episodes. |
| 602 | * WeirdnessMagnet: A lot of it is just a hazard of being neighbors with the Aqua Teens but Carl has a mindboggling tendency to encounter and fall victim to all sorts of bizarre happenings, even without his neighbors being involved. |
| 603 | * WhatHappenedToTheMouse: While the Aqua Teens' stories are wrapped up in the series finale, it's never explicitly stated what happened to Carl, though it can be inferred that he finally moved out at some point. [[spoiler:Subverted in the true finale, where Carl is jailed along with Frylock]]. |
| 604 | * VitriolicBestBuds: When Carl isn't outright hating the Aqua Teens, their relationship typically falls under this category. |

| 623 | * BerserkButton: Don't mispronounce his name. He'll sic spiders on you. [[BeyondTheImpossible Through the phone lines.]] |
| 624 | * BlatantLies: When he tells Steve that the second batch of corn shall be different. |
| 625 | -->'''Steve:''' Yeah, I dunno man. I mean, after [[BlackComedyRape last time...]] |
| 626 | -->'''Dr. Weird:''' This time...SHALL BE DIFFERENT! [[EvilLaugh MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA]] |
| 627 | -->'''Steve:''' Well all right, cause I am hungry again. |
| 628 | -->''(corn attacks Steve exactly the same way as last time)'' |
| 629 | -->'''Dr. Weird:''' [[LampshadeHanging It's not different at all, is it Steve?]] AHAHAHAHAHAHA |
| 630 | * CharacterCatchphrase: "Gentlemen, ''BEHOLD!!!''" |
| 631 | * ChekhovsSkill: In the movie: [[spoiler:"I AM A MASTER OF DISGUISE!!!"]] |
| 632 | * {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Nothing he does tends to have any rhyme or reason to it. |
| 633 | %% * DirtyOldMan |
| 634 | * DisproportionateRetribution: Several times. He once spliced his roommate Randal's DNA with a fried pork chop for not paying his half of the utilities. Another time, he sent spiders through the phone line to attack a telemarketer who mispronounced his name. Then there was the time that he pulled his brain out of his head and started firing lasers at Steve because Steve didn't bring him lunch. There was also the time that he fired several exploding tacos from his mouth at the janitor for picking up his medallion. |
| 635 | * EvilLaugh: Often. It's a sure sign that something bad is about to happen to [[TheChewToy Steve]]. It also has shades of LaughingMad. |
| 636 | %%zce* {{Expy}}: Of Dr. Strangemoon, a one-time villain in ''WesternAnimation/JosieAndThePussyCats''. |
| 637 | * ForScience: Subverted. Steve ''thinks'' this is why he had sex with a lawn mower. Turns out he did it because it was free, and the lawn mower was drunk. |
| 638 | * GreaterScopeVillain: He was this in a few of the earlier episodes; having creating episode antagonists such as Rabbot and Mothmonsterman. [[spoiler:He's actually the greater scope villain of the entire show, given that he created the Aqua Teens.]] |
| 639 | * HighPressureBlood: He believes he has enough blood to launch himself from New Jersey to Arizona on decapitation. |
| 640 | -->'''Dr. Weird:''' '''[[CharacterCatchphrase GENTLEMEN!!!]]''' Chop [[OffWithHisHead off my head]] with such velocity, and my blood will rocket through my neck, and propel my lifeless body, '''ALL THE WAY TO PHOENIX!!!''' |
| 641 | -->'''Steve:''' [[DullSurprise Wow]], what's in Pheonix? |
| 642 | -->'''Dr. Weird:''' [[YourMom Why, it's your mama Steve]], GET THE AX!!! |
| 643 | * IAmYourFather: [[spoiler:Revealed to be the creator of the Hunger Force in TheMovie.]] |
| 644 | ** [[spoiler:Turns out to be a zigzagging trope as Dr. Weird then insists Fry is his father, then Walter Melon shows up and says he's all their fathers. By the time their mother, a seven layer burrito, shows up, nobody except Meatwad even cares and the movie goes straight to credits. And ''then'' it was revealed in 2010 by series creator Dave Willis that Dr. Weird ''did'' create the Aqua Teens, and that Walter Melon was simply one of Weird's creations used for his insane and convoluted plot to mess with the Aqua Teens.]] |
| 645 | * InsistentTerminology: He almost exclusively reffers to Steve as "Gentlemen", despite there only being one of him. |
| 646 | * {{Jerkass}}: When his antics aren't outright insane, they're usually intentionally harmful to Steve. |
| 647 | * JumpScare: PlayedForLaughs in one episode, where [[spoiler:he interrupts the shot of South Jersey Island by popping up in front of the island and shouting "BULLSH[[SoundEffectBleep (bleep)]]!"]] |
| 648 | * LargeHam: ''Very'' large. His entire existence hinges on how exaggerated his character is. |
| 649 | * LaughablyEvil: He's by no means a nice guy, but he provides a lot of the comedy in the first two seasons' {{Cold Open}}s. |
| 650 | * {{Leitmotif}}: Every time the show opens in the first two seasons, you can expect to hear "Captivity" by De Wolfe Music Library as you see just what insane experiment he's concocted today. |
| 651 | * MadScientist: He regularly presents utterly insane inventions and experiments, [[spoiler:including the Aqua Teens,]] for seemingly no reason. |
| 652 | * MeaningfulName: Everything that he does is weird (sometimes even ''beyond'' that), though this could be explained by him living in what once was an insane asylum. His antics include teaching his ass to eat his hand, making love to (and impregnating) a lawn mower, sending spiders through the phone lines to telemarketers, tricking Steve into allowing corn to mate with him...twice, using a chain saw to cut off his flesh in order to lose weight, injecting himself with large amounts of barbecue sauce, cutting off his own head so that [[HighPressureBlood the blood spraying out of his neck]] will propel him all the way to Phoenix, asking Steve to agitate a snake coiled up inside his helmet, and much, MUCH more. |
| 653 | * MorallyAmbiguousDoctorate: He's a doctor and an absolute lunatic who regularly abuses his lab assistant. |
| 654 | * NeverMyFault: Hinted at in his first appearance. He explicitly avoids naming himself when lamenting the escape of his latest invention: |
| 655 | --> '''Dr. Weird''': WHAT HAS '''SCIENCE''' DOOONE? |
| 656 | * NoIndoorVoice: He only has one volume: SHOUTING AT THE TOP OF HIS LUNGS! |
| 657 | * OutOfFocus: After TheMovie, Dr. Weird's prominence in the show was greatly reduced, with the cold open of "Allen Part One" and Season 11's intro being the only appearances he's made since. |
| 658 | * PickyEater: According to Steve, he doesn't like eating. Not any specific thing, just eating at all. |
| 659 | * {{Robosexual}}: Has a child with a lawn mower. |
| 660 | * TemptingFate: GENTLEMEN, BEHOLD! MY [[RetGone TIME-SPACE CONTI-]] |
| 661 | * TheyKilledKennyAgain: He and Steve died on a semi-regular basis. |

| 673 | * BeleagueredAssistant: Steve is frequently on the receiving end of Dr. Weird's antics when he'd rather not be. |
| 674 | * TheChewToy: He is often taken advantage of by Dr. Weird, and usually in a PlayedForLaughs sort of way. |
| 675 | * ExtremeDoormat: He usually goes along with Dr. Weird's abuse. |
| 676 | * EyeScream: One episode features his eyes turning into spiders and jumping out of their sockets. |
| 677 | * ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Has given his two weeks notice on more than one occasion. |

| 680 | * StraightMan: He serves as the voice of reason to Dr. Weird. |
| 681 | * TemptingFate: See above. His head gets bitten off by a giant Dr. Weird head for imitating him. |
| 682 | * TooDumbToLive: Falls for Dr. Weird's blatant lies about the second batch of corn being different than the last time. One could argue that the mere fact that he continues to work for Weird after all the mishaps and abuse he has suffered makes him this. |

| 692 | !!!'''Voiced by: Dave Willis (Ignignokt), Matt Maiellaro (Err)''' |
| 693 | |
| 694 | Aliens from the moon that look like they'd be better off in an Atari game. |
| 695 | |
| 696 | ------------ |
| 697 | * AMFMCharacterization: Like Carl, they're big fans of 80s rock. They theme their powers after Music/{{Foreigner}} songs and, at a villain meeting, insist each member announce their presence with "[[Music/ScorpionsBand Here I am, rock you like a hurricane."]] |
| 698 | * AntiVillain: They're more of a nuisance to the Aqua Teens than an actual threat...for the most part. |
| 699 | * ArchEnemy: To the Aqua teens, if only because they're the most recurring "threat". |
| 700 | * AwesomeButImpractical: Their lasers can vaporize anything, but the bullets move pitifully slow. |
| 701 | * BigGuyLittleGuy: They're both short compared to most of the characters, but Ignignokt is much larger than Err. |
| 702 | * BitchSlap: Supposedly has happened more than once, if Ignignokt claims to have not done so since Tucson, but he tells the Aqua Teens to prepare for a pride-obliterating one in season 3. |
| 703 | * ColdHam: Ignignokt has a monotone voice, but really ''loves'' to deliver arrogant speeches, like he's a top-notch evil mastermind, despite Mooninites' actions being nothing more than rowdyism. Made even funnier, that sometimes Ignignokt will just cut his speech, when he runs out of words to say. |
| 704 | * DemotedToExtra: Despite being the most notable antagonists of the series, they only get a few scenes in the movie. They were actually planned to have more screen time, but much of it had little to do with the plot and was cut. The post-movie seasons typically have them appearing at least OnceASeason, but even then it was often simple cameos aside from "Jumpy George" and "Spacecaduece". |
| 705 | * DirtyCoward: When confronted for their actions their first instinct is to high tail it and run. |
| 706 | * TheDitz: Besides or perhaps alongside the Plutonians, the Mooninites are probably the only characters that are dumber than either Shake or Meatwad. |
| 707 | * DrivenToSuicide: In their Aquadonk Side Pieces short, after Err accidentally gets himself killed by walking into the Quad Laser, Ignignokt willingly does the same out of grief. |
| 708 | * EarlyInstallmentCharacterDesignDifference: [[DownplayedTrope It's extremely minor]], but the both of them in their first appearance had their eyes placed higher up on their bodies. |
| 709 | %%* {{Expy}}: Ignignokt and Err have the voices and personalities of ''[[PoorlyDisguisedPilot Baffler Meal]]'' Master Shake and Frylock respectively. |
| 710 | * FlippingTheBird: Mooninites' signature gesture, and also the running gag for first three episodes centered around them. |
| 711 | -->'''Ignignokt''' I hope they can see this, because I'm doing it as hard as I can. |
| 712 | * FreudianExcuse: PlayedForLaughs ([[PlayedForDrama or not]]) in "Moonahujana" when Err tells a sob story about his past (parental issues included), and how everything he does is just a cry for attention. |
| 713 | * GeneralFailure: |
| 714 | ** In "The Last one Forever and Ever" Ignignokt is this in spades. Him and Err assemble great part of villains and not-so villains from previous episodes to terrorize Aqua Teens. This ends up with most of the characters being killed by each other due to lack of any organisation or plan whatsoever and, yeah, most of the party members being complete morons. |
| 715 | ** In "Spacecadeuce", Ignignokt and Err also ([[UnreliableNarrator presumably]]) send a bunch of other mooninites to their death by ordering them to investigate a sentient meat-eating spaceship. Just because they had nothing better to do. |
| 716 | %%* GreenAndMean: Ignignokt. |
| 717 | * HotBlooded: Err will attack anything that bothers him, and a lot of things bother him. But he's really small, so it's no big deal. [[PintsizedPowerhouse Don't underestimate him, though.]] |
| 718 | * HumansAreMorons: This is the ''opinion'' held by Igignokt and Err, [[CulturalPosturing believing that they are superior to all life on Earth in every possible way]]. Unfortunately, they themselves are not all that smart and are always ultimately shown to be dumber than just about everyone they ever meet on Earth--human, food product, or otherwise. |
| 719 | * HypercompetentSidekick: Both of them aren't quite bright, but Err occasionally shows more self-awareness and smarts, despite his follower status. |
| 720 | * InsufficientlyAdvancedAlien: They claim to be smarter and advancely superior than humans, but as you might tell from the other tropes listed here, they're really not. |
| 721 | * {{Leitmotif}}: Though the full version never plays outside of the credits (and even then, each episode gets a different verse), the Mooninites do have a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dzmOAFXTMFk theme song]], a few riffs from which always appear in episodes where they feature. |
| 722 | * MightyGlacier: Their blaster can vaporize stuff, but the bullets are painfully slow. |
| 723 | * TheNapoleon: Err is the shorter and more aggressive one of the duo. |
| 724 | * OutOfFocus: They appeared much less frequently as the show went on. |
| 725 | * PainfullySlowProjectile: Their guns produce massive projectiles, but they move at a pacing of inches per minute. They have larger variations which move even slower. |
| 726 | * PerpetualFrowner: Err is a weird example, in that, due to his design, he literally always has an angry look on his face despite the tone of his voice suggesting otherwise. |
| 727 | * PintsizedPowerhouse: Err is barely bigger than Meatwad, but easily supports his partner's entire mass during Quad Laser attack (not so much during Quad Glacier though), and can knock out Carl like no problem. |
| 728 | * ThePowerOfRock: In one episode, they get their hands on the Foreigner Belt--a belt that gives the wearer superpowers based on the band's songs. For example, setting the belt to ''Cold As Ice'' gives freezing powers. |
| 729 | * RedOniBlueOni: The serene and haughty Ignignokt is blue, while the hyper and aggressive Err is red. |
| 730 | * {{Retraux}}: All moon people are designed to look like 8-bit video game characters. The original plan was to portray them as refugees from a failed Atari game. |
| 731 | * SarcasticDevotee: Err often agrees with Ignignokt's words and actions, still wouldn't mind to goof up his plans or snark at given opportunity. |
| 732 | -->'''Err''' *reads Ignignokt's note* The Gorgotron has destroyed our armies, our villages and our pets. And he has laid ways to our craps'. |
| 733 | -->'''Ignignokt:''' 'Crops' is what I typed, Err. |
| 734 | -->'''Err:''' But it says 'craps'. |
| 735 | -->'''Ignignokt:''' I know, Err. |
| 736 | -->'''Err:''' It should be 'craps', that is funnier. |
| 737 | -->'''Ignignokt:''' I've processed that humor. |
| 738 | -->[...] |
| 739 | -->'''Err:''' (to Meatwad) So, won't you please help us. S-s-save our craps? |
| 740 | -->'''Ignignokt:''' [[ThatMakesMeFeelAngry Err please, stop fueling my]] [[TranquilFury silent rage]] |
| 741 | -->[Later in the [[BrickJoke same episode]]] |
| 742 | -->'''Err:''' And see you later! We gotta harvest our craps! |
| 743 | -->'''Ignignokt:''' Err, please! |
| 744 | * SmallNameBigEgo: Ignignokt and Err are always rambling on about how the moon is superior to Earth, but when challenged on it, they can't even explain why. |
| 745 | * SmokingIsCool: The Mooninites think so. |
| 746 | -->'''Err:''' We smoke as we [[FlippingTheBird shoot the bird!]] |
| 747 | * SmugSnake: Ignignokt tries to come across as a grandiose villainous mastermind, particularly in "The Last One Forever and Ever", but he and Err are nothing more than incompetent crooks. |
| 748 | * SophisticatedAsHell: Ignignokt's manner of speech is slightly this. He also owns a stencil with "fart" written in italics. |
| 749 | * TheStoic: Ignignokt. Doesn't stop him from being stupid though. |
| 750 | * TheStoner: They admit they have Moonajuana. |
| 751 | * StupidCrooks: |
| 752 | -->'''Ignignokt'''... as we commit first degree Grand Theft Coffee Table! |
| 753 | * SufficientlyAdvancedAliens: Played for laughs when Ignignokt excuses their {{Jerkass}} behavior and criminal tendencies by claiming that he and Err have "advanced beyond rules and manners." |
| 754 | * TaremeEyes[=/=]TsurimeEyes: Not their eyes themselves, but their eyebrows. Ignignokt, the calm, cool-headed one has tareme eyebrows, while Err, the excitable, hot-headed one has tsurime eyebrows. |
| 755 | * UndiscriminatingAddict: Err is such a [[MustHaveNicotine nicotine addict]], he attempts to get high by inhaling the OminousFog the Cybernetic Ghost of Christmas Past from the Future summons when telling his stories. It seem to work ([[FakeHigh via placebo]] if nothing else), and Err even claimed it tasted like menthol. |
| 756 | * VitriolicBestBuds: They are not as dysfunctional as Aqua Teens or Plutonians, but still. |
| 757 | -->'''Err''': Look man. I'm here for you, it's okay. Now, what I want you to do, is drink this. ''[hands a jar to Ignignokt]''\ |
| 758 | '''Ignignokt''': ''[takes the jars and drinks it]'' Thank you, Err. What was that thick shake?\ |
| 759 | '''Err''': Well I'll tell you what it is, it's mayonnaise, I found it in the trash can...\ |
| 760 | ''[Err starts laughing while Ignignokt [[VomitIndiscretionShot vomits]]]''\ |
| 761 | '''Err''': ... And it had hair on it! And you drank it! Because ''I'm'' your doctor! Do what I say! |
| 762 | * VocalEvolution: Ignignokt sounded rather odd in his first appearance on the show, being emotionless (well, ''more'' emotionless than usual) and less suave compared to his subsequent appearances. |

| 769 | !!!'''Voiced by: Andy Merrill (Oglethorpe), Mike Schatz (Emory)''' |
| 770 | |
| 771 | Pointy aliens from Pluto. Oglethorpe is the orange one, while Emory is the green one. |
| 772 | ------------ |
| 773 | * AchievementsInIgnorance: They manage to create someone with a vague resemblance to Shake just by handing him a photo of Shake, tossing him in a pizza oven, and telling him to "wing it". |
| 774 | * AliensStealCable: Literally. They use the [[LawyerFriendlyCameo Fargate]] to tap into the Aqua Teens' cable. |
| 775 | * AntiVillain: Despite their efforts, they are simply too dumb to accomplish anything. |
| 776 | * TheBusCameBack: They make one last major appearance in the Season 10 finale. Outside of a few brief cameos here and there, the Plutonians' last major appearance was as far back as Season ''4''. |
| 777 | * CaptureAndReplicate: They attempt this with Master Shake to try and "de-terraform" the planet, but it doesn't work for a laundry list of reasons. First off, their cloner is just a toy oven that they got a pile of genetic matter to hop into, handed it a picture of Master Shake and told to make it work, resulting in the abomination known as Major Shake. Second, they didn't tell Major Shake anything about this plan and just shoved him out there with some high heels and held Master Shake captive until something happened. Third, Major Shake is more intelligent than them, realized it wasn't going to work and just gave up, calling them to outright fuck with them and show Frylock and Meatwad where Shake ended up. Fourth, their methods of keeping Shake contained involve a disco light display that they pretend is dangerous, try to lock him in a room with paint fumes to erase his mind, realize later that they can't lock it, and then forget to keep the ship's course on track trying to intimidate him back into the room |
| 778 | * ADayInTheLimelight: "Spacecaduce" has them as the main focus. |
| 779 | * TheDitz: Whilst the Mooninites aren't the brightest of beings themselves, it says something that the Plutonians (especially Oglethorpe) easily fall for their pranks in "Spacecataz" and are hardly able to top them. Hell, they are so aimless and foolish that even ''Shake'' looks more composed compared to them. |
| 780 | * EasilyThwartedAlienInvasion: In their first appearance, they have no real plan. In the second, they intend to "de-terraform" earth, but again lack a proper plan. In the third, they are literally only [[AliensStealCable stealing the Aqua Teens' cable.]] |
| 781 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: They may be idiots, but they cannot comprehend how weird and dumb Master Shake is, [[{{Hypocrite}} despite being far dumber than]] ''[[{{Hypocrite}} he]]'' [[{{Hypocrite}} is.]] |
| 782 | ** Oglethorpe is also rather insistent about [[WritingAroundTrademarks changing in any way]] [[LawyerFriendlyCameo some familiar-looking stuff they use]] [[YouWannaGetSued to avoid copyright issues]]. |
| 783 | * EyeScream: PlayedForLaughs when Oglethorpe tries to activate a retinal scan: |
| 784 | --> '''Oglethorpe:''' "Retinal scan, ON!" ''(the laser instead vaporizes his eyes, smoke coming out of their sockets)'' "AYE! DAMMIT! WRONG LASER, WRONG LASER! Why didn't you label them?" |
| 785 | * FeetOfClay: Oglethorpe is initially described as having invented the Insane-O-Flex in the movie, but this is later disproved. |
| 786 | * {{Foil}}: To the Mooninites. While they aren't arrogant {{Jerkass}}es like the Mooninites, they're also a lot less charismatic and aren't as good at manipulating people. |
| 787 | * ForeignCussWord: Oglethorpe frequently says "Scheiße" [[note]]German for "shit."[[/note]]. |
| 788 | * HarmlessVillain: They plan to conquer the world, but in Frylock's words, they're too incompetent to "take over a damn bowl of Jell-O." |
| 789 | * HyperCompetentSidekick: Downplayed with Emory. While he's a lot smarter than Oglethorpe and is much more in tune with reality than he is, due to either a weak personality or just not caring enough to say no, he always goes along with what Oglethorpe says. |
| 790 | * InsufficientlyAdvancedAlien: While their ship is sufficiently advanced, ''they'' (mainly Oglethorpe) are unbelievably stupid and clearly know nothing about how it works. It's even been shown that they don't even know how a simple reading lamp works. Hell, they mistake their own bodily waste for ''soap'' and clean their ship with it! |
| 791 | * {{Mooning}}: One of the pranks they pull on the Mooninites in one of the "Spacecataz" openings is mooning them. |
| 792 | -->'''Oglethorpe:''' Let's show them the dark side of the Plutonian moon! |
| 793 | * OnlySaneMan: Emory is a lot more grounded in reality than Oglethorpe. |
| 794 | * PoirotSpeak[=/=]UnexplainedAccent: Oglethorpe, despite being an alien, has a German accent. |
| 795 | * PsychopathicManchild: Oglethorpe is extremely childish and self-centered; throwing a fit whenever things don't go his way. |
| 796 | * PutOnABus: Only made a few cameos after TheMovie, but they reappear in "Spacecaduce". |
| 797 | * RedOniBlueOni: Oglethorpe is loud and stubborn (red), while Emory is easygoing and sensible (blue). |
| 798 | * SitcomArchnemesis: They have this dynamic with the Mooninites, with the two pairs engaging in a park war in "Spacecataz" and the Mooninites going out of their way to exclude them from their LegionOfDoom. |
| 799 | * SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: It has to be seen to be believed. |
| 800 | -->'''Oglethorpe:''' We have successfully traveled beyond both space and time through the Fargate...[[AliensStealCable to get free cable!]]\ |
| 801 | '''Emory:''' I think it's a star...gate?\ |
| 802 | '''Oglethorpe:''' It's the ''Fargate''. '''F'''. It's different from that movie which I have never seen, so how would I copy it?\ |
| 803 | '''Emory:''' Chill, man. It's all right, let's just turn it on.\ |
| 804 | '''Oglethorpe:''' I just want to make sure we are clear that it's the ''Fargate''. Goes ''far'', get it? And there is no way it came from that [[Film/{{Stargate}} movie]] or that [[Series/StargateSG1 syndicated series based on the movie.]]\ |
| 805 | '''Emory:''' But...it sure was a good movie.\ |
| 806 | '''Oglethorpe:''' Ja, yes it was. |
| 807 | * ThemeNaming: Oglethorpe and Emory are colleges in UsefulNotes/{{Atlanta}}, Georgia (home of [[Creator/AdultSwim Williams Street Productions]]). |
| 808 | * TooDumbToLive: Not only do they fix the Mooninites' self-destruct device in "Spacecataz", but they accidentally activate their own; killing both parties. |
| 809 | * TookALevelInDumbass: The movie heavily implies that spending so much time with Oglethorpe caused this effect on Emory. |

| 817 | Whatever form he's in, he has a BatmanGambit to take over the world, but he really wants to be free from {{Satan}}. He still has a diaper, yellow eyes, and a shower cap, though. |
| 818 | ------------ |
| 819 | * AxCrazy: He says he's too insane to fit into society, and he's right. He drinks people's blood, comes up with illogical, convoluted plans, and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking eats patio furniture]]. |
| 820 | * BecomingTheMask: In the ''Aqua Donk Sidepieces'' short, ''[=MC=] P Pants University'', he both goes through and specifically warns his viewers against this. Detailing his time spent with the old man he was trying to scam, only for him to grow emotionally attached to. |
| 821 | * BigCreepyCrawlies: His first form was a giant spider. |
| 822 | * BreakingOldTrends: His ''Aqua Donk Sidepieces'' short is MC Pee Pants' first appearance where he doesn't die. |
| 823 | * BrokenPedestal: He loses Meatwad's loyalty as Sir Loin when it turns out he wasn't gathering food for "da shorteez", but for the ridiculous plan he had at the time to pay for his patio furniture. |
| 824 | * ButtMonkey: He dies and goes to Hell in all of his appearances through increasingly humiliating means, where Satan regularly blasts him with fire and reincarnates him constantly for the cycle to repeat. |

| 826 | * ComplexityAddiction: His schemes are as overly complex as they are insane. |

And we invite everyone to the haunted house, and they come thinking it's gonna be all scary and shit, but in fact, the house is also ''for sale'' 'cause it's a condo, get it? Like in "Hilton Head." And people are gonna pay big-ass cash money to buy this, right? And then we take all that money and buy ''MORE'' psychedelic mushrooms, '''YOU FEEL ME?!''' |
| 832 | ** That's supposed to be a plan to "defeat" the Aqua Teens. And "Defeat," in this case, is very ill-defined. |
| 833 | ** His plan to commit suicide involves traveling back in time and preventing the dinosaurs from going extinct so that there would be no fossil fuels to power his life support system. ''Meatwad'' is the one to point out that it would be much easier to simply unplug it. |
| 834 | * ImmortalitySeeker: In "Little Brittle", his idiotic plan of the day is to use his music to attract vampires so one can bite and turn him into one and thus live forever and not have to go to hell again. It [[HopeSpot almost works...]] but see below. |
| 835 | * InvoluntaryShapeshifting: Satan keep bringing him back as random things, apparently for [[ForTheEvulz his own amusement]]. A cow, a worm, an old man and a fly. |
| 836 | * LogicalWeakness: A majority of his insanely convoluted plans tend to hinge on MindControlMusic and always have 2 recurring flaws. First is that they're completely insane, but second is the fact that for a MindControlMusic ploy to work, more than one person needs to buy the album. As Meatwad points out in Pee Pants' first appearace, he was the only person to actually buy the album ''I Want Candy''. |
| 837 | * MindControlMusic: This is his main schtick. He places subliminal messages in catchy rap songs to rope people into his insane schemes. For instance, in his first appearance, his plan was to brainwash listeners into eating so much candy that their increased blood sugar could power a drill to bore into Hell. |
| 838 | * MeaningfulName: His Sir Loin persona was a cow and Little Brittle is a brittle old man. |
| 839 | * MorphicResonance: As a fly, a cow, or anything in-between, he ''always'' has the crazy yellow eyes, diaper and shower cap. No, we don't know why he wears the latter two. |
| 840 | * NeverLearnedToRead: Despite being a lyricist, he is illiterate. This is used against him when he's a cow; convinced that a sign that clearly says "slaughterhouse" reads "bank", he walks right to his doom. |
| 841 | * MotorMouth: He talks like he's out of ''Speed Racer''. |
| 842 | * OutOfFocus: After "Little Brittle", he only makes a few cameos. By the following season Dr. Wongburger more or less became an SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute for him. |
| 843 | * RedEyesTakeWarning: He has red eyes and wants to take over the world and be free from Satan. |
| 844 | * TheyKilledKennyAgain: All of his appearances end with him getting killed and sent to Hell. |
| 845 | * TooDumbToLive: The first thing he decides to do after being turned into a vampire is to '''''walk out into sunlight.''''' |
| 846 | * YellowEyesOfSneakiness: He has yellow schleras and is completely disconnected from reality, attempting to trick people into letting him take over the world. |

| 855 | |
| 856 | [[ExactlyWhatItsaysOnTheTin Read his name again if you're having trouble with this one.]] |
| 857 | ------------ |
| 858 | * BackFromTheDead: Allegedly, Turkatron was The Cybernetic Ghost of Christmas Past from the Future rebuilt and sent on a mission to protect a VIP's ancestor, a la ''Terminator 2''. It turns out he's just one of roughly 5000 malfunctioning toys that all believe themselves to be the aforementioned ghost. |
| 859 | * BirdPeople: He was built with a head that resemble a rooster. |
| 860 | * CharacterCatchphrase: ''[[SuddenlySHOUTING THOOOUUSANDS OF YEARS AGO...]]'' |
| 861 | * ChewingTheScenery: Again, ''[[CharacterCatchphrase THOOOUUSANDS OF YEARS AGO...]]'' |
| 862 | * {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: He has a penchant for telling drawn-out stories with absolutely no factual basis or consistency. |
| 863 | * HiMom: Was hyped when he realized he was on television and pulled this. |
| 864 | * InvoluntaryShapeshifting: This is pretty hard to call, given the MindScrew nature of his turkey form and various explanations. |
| 865 | * LargeHam: if you havent guessed it already; ''[[ChewingTheScenery THOOOUUSANDS OF YEARS AGO...]]'' |
| 866 | * {{Leitmotif}}: When you hear "Dangerous Journeys", that means it's time to hear his inane, nonsensical ramblings. Turkatron, who is AmbiguouslyRelated to him, also shares this theme. |
| 867 | * MrExposition: A parody. The stories he tells make absolutely no sense and typically put everybody to sleep. |
| 868 | * NinjaPirateZombieRobot: He's a robot, but also supposedly a ghost. |
| 869 | * OnceUponATime: Once more, with emphasis; ''[[LargeHam THOOOUUSANDS OF YEARS AGO...]]'' |
| 870 | * OurGhostsAreDifferent: He's a robot with a head that resembles a chicken. For that matter, he's not even intangible. [[https://youtu.be/i8kD3iOVaSs?si=NHkB_c1IpDN1Jh5g It's eventually revealed he's a ghost under the armor.]] |
| 871 | * OverlyLongName: A very weird one at that. |
| 872 | * SuddenlySHOUTING: Technically true, since he declares this statement with absolute force of presence. So for the fifth time: ''[[OnceUponATime THOOOUUSANDS OF YEARS AGO...]]'' |
| 873 | * TelescopingRobot: Shows off an array of hidden weaponry to Carl in TheMovie just to prove he's a NotSoHarmlessVillain. He later proves himself able to invert this, folding up tightly enough to occupy a Meatwad costume flawlessly. |

| 880 | !!!'''Voice by: Dave Willis, [[Music/RunTheJewels Killer Mike]] (Plantasm)''' |
| 881 | |
| 882 | One of Meatwad's toys who he talks to. |
| 883 | ------------ |
| 884 | * AfroAsskicker: Subverted. He's got the afro, and he's got the attitude of a 70's Blaxploitation protagonist, but he's just a cardboard box Meatwad talks to. |
| 885 | * BlaxploitationParody: He's clearly modeled after the protagonists of Blaxploitation films. |
| 886 | * {{Leitmotif}}: Every time he talks, a funky 70's beat starts playing. Specifically, "Platform Shoes" by A.J. Johnson. And it starts at the very beginning each time. |
| 887 | * NotSoImaginaryFriend: Most of the time, only Meatwad can hear him, but in "Shake Like Me", he gets a scene where Frylock can hear him, and Meatwad makes fun of him for talking to a box, and later, Shake can hear him, although the reason for that one could be chalked up to Shake [[ItMakesSenseInContext becoming temporarily black]]. |
| 888 | * ThisIsForEmphasisBitch: He throws around the word "bitch" a lot if he gets sufficiently annoyed or angry. |
| 889 | -->'''Meatwad:''' But you just a box. |
| 890 | -->'''Boxy:''' I'm just a ''what'', bitch? |

| 893 | [[folder:Markula]] |
| 894 | !!!'''Voiced by: Matt Maiellaro''' |
| 895 | |
| 896 | The Aqua Teens landlord. His presence makes there be {{Continuity}}. |
| 897 | ------------ |
| 898 | * ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: The "party games" he plans to torture the Aqua Teens with include "Pin the tail on the Shake", "Bobbing for meatballs", and "Ignore the Fryman". |
| 899 | * CrankyLandlord: He's the landlord for the trio's home and considers them to be deadbeats. |
| 900 | * DaywalkingVampire: In contrast to his WeaksauceWeakness, he seems to have no problems with sunlight. |
| 901 | * DisproportionateRetribution: When Frylock doesn't pay the rent for October, he kidnaps the trio and traps them in a cave in the Mojave desert, instead of just fixing the gas leak or taking Frylock to court for the rent. |
| 902 | * DyingVocalChange: For some reason, his voice rises to HeliumSpeech as he melts down following exposure to garlic champagne. |
| 903 | * EvilIsPetty: He kidnaps the Aqua Teens because Frylock didn't pay rent for October. Because of a gas leak that he refuses to fix. He also implies that if Frylock doesn't pay up by Markula's birthday and fix the leak himself, he plans to kill them. |
| 904 | * FantasticRacism: In the ''Aqua Donk Sidepieces'' short "Markula the Slumlord", he admits to being incredibly racist towards the Plutonians, despite not knowing what they are. |
| 905 | * InsufferableImbecile: On top of being petty and selfish, it's clear that Markula isn't that bright, as he refuses to fix a dangerous gas leak, even though Carl of all people actually points out it will kill anyone he tries to rent the Aqua Teens' house to. |
| 906 | * ItsAllAboutMe: He's a very centered person, showing no value for anyone else and isn't above holding other people hostage just to celebrate his own birthday party. |
| 907 | * KnightOfCerebus: Very, ''very'' downplayed, but the fact that his introduction brings inter-episode continuity to a show famous for it's NegativeContinuity means his actions actually have lasting consequences. He's also slightly more competent than your average ATHF antagonist, actually putting the main trio in peril instead of just being a mild annoyance. |
| 908 | * OurVampiresAreDifferent: He's different than the usual portrayals, as he actually goes out during the day. |
| 909 | * PetTheDog: He's sympathetic to Paul, not minding the destruction he causes to the house because he's going through a difficult custody battle. |
| 910 | * ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: According to "Couples Skate", he's four thousand and forty years old. |
| 911 | * VoluntaryShapeshifter: In some episodes, he has turned into a bat to travel around. |
| 912 | * WeaksauceWeakness: Garlic, of course. Even in the form of champagne. |

| 919 | !!!'''Voiced by:''' sound effects from the X-Static Goldmine voice library |
| 920 | |
| 921 | A giant robotic rabbit created by Dr. Weird to solve “the world’s vegetable problem”, that escaped and began wreaking havoc. |
| 922 | ------------ |
| 923 | * AnimalMecha: A large rabbit robot. |
| 924 | * CharacterCatchphrase: His most common voice clip is "Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday." He even proposes it as the name for the LegionOfDoom in the VillainTeamUp episode, and wrote it on his housewarming card for the Aqua Teens. In cursive. |
| 925 | * JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: After the Aqua Teens move into a new house, Rabbot shows up to give them a welcoming gift. He then destroys their house. |
| 926 | * InvincibleVillain: At no point in the series is Rabbot successfully stopped from committing wanton destruction. There have been attempts and delays, sure, but his SuperToughness presents him has basically untouchable. |
| 927 | * KarmaHoudini: The Aqua Teens only stop him by getting him to dance to Meatwad’s jukebox, and later episodes show he’s still running around, destroying stuff. |
| 928 | * {{Leitmotif}}: His destructive antics are usually accompanied by "Counter Attack" by De Wolfe Music Library. |
| 929 | * StarterVillain: The first villain the Aqua Teens face in the series. |

| 931 | |
| 932 | [[folder:Mothmonsterman]] |

| 934 | |
| 935 | An easygoing moth-human hybrid created by Dr. Weird that Master Shake mistook for Dracula. |
| 936 | ------------ |
| 937 | * AffablyEvil: He's a pretty civil and laid-back guy. At least, when he's not laying eggs in somebody else's esophagus. |
| 938 | * FurryReminder: Being a moth-like creature, he's attracted to light. He breaks into the Aqua Teeens house at one point because he was that desparate to get to the Shake's "Shake Signal". |
| 939 | * TheMothman: He's a half-man, half-moth creature. |
| 940 | * MothMenace: He engulf's Carl's entire house in silk and lays eggs in Carl's esophagus all because he wanted Shake to turn his Shake Signal back on. |
| 941 | [[/folder]] |
| 942 | |
| 943 | [[folder:Happy Time Harry]] |
| 944 | !!!'''Voiced by Creator/DavidCross''' |
| 945 | A mean, cynical doll that Frylock buys for Meatwad whose dour outlook on life ends up negatively influencing. |
| 946 | ------------ |
| 947 | * TheAlcoholic: He relies on alcohol to deal with his crippling depression. |
| 948 | * BreakHimByTalking: His nihilistic speech to the cheerful Jiggle Billy about his nature as a doll was enough to make him [[DrivenToSuicide shoot his head off]]. [[spoiler:Billy survives, but is left utterly depressed]]. |
| 949 | * CannotSelfTerminate: His ''Aquadonk Side Pieces'' short revealed that Master Shake throwing him off a cliff actually turned him into a highlander and he's spent the past 18 years trying (and failing) to kill himself. |
| 950 | * TheCynic: Happy Time Harry has a very pessimistic view on life to say the least. |
| 951 | * DeathSeeker: He gleefully embraces any chance he gets to die. |
| 952 | * TheEeyore: For a guy named ''Happy'' Time Harry, he's always in a terrible mood. |
| 953 | * HorrifyingTheHorror: Even ''Master Shake'' is disturbed by his toxic personality! |
| 954 | * {{Jerkass}}: He's a rude, meanspirited doll who's a dick to Meatwad and is completely apathetic to driving the happy-go-lucky Jiggle Billy to suicide. |
| 955 | * NoBodyLeftBehind: In "The Dumbest Doll of All", he's reduced to a stain on the Aqua Teens' carpet [[RunningGag after getting thrown onto it]]. |
| 956 | * OnlySaneMan: He's the only member of the Mooninites' LegionOfDoom remotely focused on trying to get anything accomplished and the only one with the sense to notice that the Aqua Teens were obviously hiding in Carl's house. |
| 957 | [[/folder]] |
| 958 | |
| 959 | [[folder:Jimmy Tree Wizard]] |
| 960 | !!!'''Voiced by: Matt Maiellaro''' |
| 961 | |
| 962 | A deranged homeless man who claims to be a tree wizard and has a propensity for illegal and downright insane activities. |
| 963 | ------------ |
| 964 | * CrazyHomelessPeople: Pretty much his whole schtick, considering he just mumbles random nonsense in all his appearances. |
| 965 | * NonIndicativeName: He refers to himself as a "tree wizard", but that's most likely just his insanity talking. |
| 966 | [[/folder]] |
| 967 | |
| 968 | [[folder:Willie Nelson]] |
| 969 | !!!'''Voiced by: [[Radio/TheBestShow Tom Scharpling]]''' |
| 970 | A monster that lives in the attic. [[ImAHumanitarian He loves juice.]] |
| 971 | ------------ |
| 972 | * AffablyEvil: He's pretty meek and polite to the main cast. [[BreadEggsMilkSquick He also has a taste for blood]]. At least he offers some to the main cast. |
| 973 | * BadLiar: He tells a brutally mangled Shake when he asked if they scared Carl "We did it guy. High five". [[TheDitz Shake buys it]]. |
| 974 | * DeadpanSnarker: He's more [[TheStoic deadpan]] than a snarker, but he does throw out the main casts TV when Frylock tells him they threw out his mail. |
| 975 | * EvilCounterpart: To the Aqua Teens in general, though it takes pretty much every aspect of them and flips it on its head. Rather than being processed food-based jackasses who intentionally do terrible things for their own benefit, he's an overgrown onion and otherwise decent guy who unintentionally does ''horrific'' things just to sustain himself. |
| 976 | * GiantSpider: Of a sort; he resembles an onion with spiderlike legs. |
| 977 | * ImAHumanitarian: He rips off Carl's arms and drinks them at the end of his debut episode. |
| 978 | * NamedAfterSomebodyFamous: Lampshaded when he points out that he's not ''[[Music/WillieNelson the]]'' Willie Nelson. |
| 979 | * NightmareFuelStationAttendant: Is revealed to be this at the end of his debut episode. Fry, Shake, Meatwad and Carl are all thoroughly horrified when they find out he's been keeping mutilated corpses in the attic, and the former three nail up the attic door when Willie Nelson rips off the latter's arms. |
| 980 | * ObliviouslyEvil: He doesn't seem to understand that what he does is disturbing at all, with him [[ComicallyMissingThePoint believing Shake's immediate fear at seeing the corpses in his attic as disgust toward a messy room]]. He also might not understand what blood ''is'', as he refers to it as "[[DeadlyEuphemism juice]]". |
| 981 | * PokeThePoodle: Subverted. His monster gimmick involves shaving, which Shake quickly points out is a stupid gimmick. But, he has brutally dismembered bodies in the attic that he drinks the blood out of. |
| 982 | * TheStoic: He hardly emotes through his episode, delivering his lines in a deadpan manner. |
| 983 | * TokenHouseguest: He technically lives with the Aqua Teens, being squirreled away in their attic, but aside from the odd cameo when something involves the attic, he rarely shows up after that. Presumably because they boarded him up there to avoid having to deal with him ever again. |
| 984 | * TranquilFury: Only has one instance, but when Frylock told him he started throwing out his mail, he says "Oh. Good, thanks." and then threw out the TV. He gets over it pretty quick, though. |

| 989 | |
| 990 | Two members of an alien fraternity named D.P. and Skeeter. |
| 991 | ------------ |
| 992 | * TheAlcoholic: They're almost always seen drinking and[=/=]or being drunk off their asses whenever they appear. |
| 993 | * EatenAlive: They both get eaten by a female alien they tried to hook up with in "The Last One". |
| 994 | * EmbarrassingFirstName: Skeeter really doesn't like to be called Zarnold. D.P. has it slightly better with the name Donald. |
| 995 | * FishPerson: They both look vaguely aquatic, having fins and angler fish lures. |
| 996 | * FratBro: They act like stereotypical frat brothers, with the only difference is that they're from space! |
| 997 | * OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: D.P. (short for "Donkey Puncher") would rather not disclose his real name. |
| 998 | * RunningGag: D.P. constantly brings up that his dad owns a dealership. |
| 999 | * ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections: D.P. tries to get out of being arrested by bringing up that his dad owns a dealership. Subverted as it doesn't actually work. |
| 1000 | * TheStoner: In addition to the alcoholism, they're also always high off of whatever substance they can get their hands (fins?) on. |

| 1006 | |
| 1007 | A dick with a coat full of mouths. |
| 1008 | ------------ |
| 1009 | * FreudianExcuse: Parodied and Lampshaded in "Hands on a Hamburger". |
| 1010 | -->'''Wongburger''': It took me ''years'' of therapy to come to terms with my ''true'' identity. My parents couldn't ''accept it!'' "My son isn't a ''Cheeseburger''!" they cried! "Your son '''''IS''''' A ''CHEESEBURGER''!", ''I CRIED'' '''BACK'''!!\ |
| 1011 | '''Frylock''': Look, look, ''[[TooMuchInformation I don't need to know the whole story, okay?]]'' |
| 1012 | * GagPenis: Dr. Wongburger ''is'' a penis. And a really hammy one, at that. |
| 1013 | * LargeHam: He's overly dramatic and lacks an indoor voice at times. |
| 1014 | %%* MadScientist |
| 1015 | * MeaningfulName: Played with but his name is a letter off from slang term for a man's parts (which is "Wang"). Played more straight when he gets turned into a gaint cheeseburger (thus fitting the "burger" part). |
| 1016 | * MorphicResonance: Similar to MC Pee Pants, Wong Burger retains his face and glasses regardless of what body he as at the time. |
| 1017 | * RunningGag: He always wants to return to his home planet, whether it's Dick Planet, Tooth Planet, or Burger Planet. |
| 1018 | * SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: To MC Pee Pants in the later seasons. Like Pee Pants, Dr. Wongburger keeps coming back in different forms with traits of his original form each time. |
| 1019 | * YoureInsane: And by "Creature From Plaque Lagoon", he's fully aware of it. |
| 1020 | --> '''Frylock''': You're a madman, Wong Burger! |
| 1021 | --> '''Wongburger''': Eyeah, I KNOW THAT! |
| 1022 | * VoluntaryShapeshifting: In each of his appearances after "Dickesode", he's modified himself with a different body, changing from a "dick with balls of rage", to a tooth, and then a giant hamburger. He always keeps his face and glasses, though. |
| 1023 | |
| 1024 | !!'''Wong Burger Employees''' |
| 1025 | !!!'''Voiced by: Andy Merrill and Creator/BrendonSmall''' |
| 1026 | |
| 1027 | His [[AllAsiansWearConicalStrawHats stereotypically Asian]] rice employees. |
| 1028 | ------------ |
| 1029 | * AllAsiansWearConicalStrawHats: They all have conical hats to make them stereotypically Asian. |
| 1030 | * AsianBuckTeeth: They have comically large buck teeth per the Asian stereotype. |
| 1031 | * AnthropomorphicFood: They're walking grains of rice, further enforcing the Asian stereotype, who wear long necklaces made out of dicks and carry sharp hooks. |
| 1032 | * WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Wongburger never uses them again in his plans. |

| 1039 | !!!'''Voiced by: Dave Willis''' |
| 1040 | |
| 1041 | A yellow dog that Frylock genetically engineers for Meatwad using the "Make Your Own Dog 1.0" software, Carl's pool, and Master Shake's hand DNA. |
| 1042 | ------------ |
| 1043 | * AbhorrentAdmirer: He's got his sights set on Carl, who is both straight and not into dogs. |
| 1044 | * AIIsACrapshoot: His sinister nature can be chalked up to the side effects from the software that created him, which made it illegal in 80 countries and with a warning not to actually make your own dog. |
| 1045 | * BlackComedyRape: Continuously rapes Carl throughout his debut episode. |
| 1046 | * CharacterCatchphrase: "Tonight... you." |
| 1047 | * DepravedHomosexual: Will find any attempt to rape Carl and taunt him about it. |
| 1048 | * DogsAreDumb: [[ObfuscatingStupidity He acts like this towards the Aqua Teens, and only shows his true colors to Carl]]. |
| 1049 | * KarmaHoudini: Ultimately gets away with his actions in his debut episode. |
| 1050 | * KarmaHoudiniWarranty: He did ''eventually'' meet his end in the show's SeriesFinale "The Greatest Story Ever Told", where he, along with a majority of past villains (and Shake) are all massacred by the police in Shake's church. |
| 1051 | ** Somewhat in the "Handbanana's Demise" short, where Carl manages to protect his ass thanks to Gorilla Glue, which Handbanana is incapable of penetrating. Carl then proceeds to take him to the vet to get him neutered (and hopefully put down), only to refuse to pay the fee for doing so and simply resolving to wait for him to die of old age/exhaustion. |
| 1052 | * ObfuscatingStupidity: He acts like a regular, dimwitted dog when in the preseance of the Aqua Teens, but is in reality a sadistically intelligent creature who rapes people (in this case, Carl). |
| 1053 | * SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: He admits he's 14 years old by the time of the ''Aqua Donk'' shorts, so even if Carl doesn't have him put down, he can simply wait for Handbanana to die naturally of old age. [[note]]Dogs, depending on the breed, typically only live anywhere between 10-to-13 years.[[/note]] |
| 1054 | * VocalEvolution: During the "Return of Handbanana" short in 2022, Dave Willis doesn't consistently use the same soft-spokenness as he did in Handbanana's debut episode, showing he's able to yell, get annoyed or express pain with that same voice. |
| 1055 | * WhatHappenedToTheMouse: He isn't seen again until "The Greatest Story Ever Told" making his fate uncertain. |

| 1067 | ''Ezekial is carried away by an enraged Chess Dragon''\ |
| 1068 | '''Frylock''': There ''were''. |
| 1069 | * GeniusDitz: Despite his child-like mind, he still manages to thoroughly defeat Chess Dragon at a game of chess. |
| 1070 | * HilariouslyAbusiveChildhood: Subverted. Shake acts like a really {{Abusive Parent|s}} and doesn't want to be around him because, well, it's [[{{Jerkass}} Shake]]. But then we learn that he's actually ''much'' older than him. |
| 1071 | * ManChild: He has the appearance and behaviors of a child, but according to Frylock he's older than Shake by several thousand years. |
| 1072 | * MeaningfulName: Meatwad gives him his name so he'll sound like he's from Literature/TheBible. [[spoiler:Given his stated age, he may very well be!]] |
| 1073 | * ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: So he says. At the very least, he ''is'' older than Shake, though how much older is unknown. |
| 1074 | * StrongFamilyResemblance: Take Master Shake, make him smaller, and give him an innocent child expression, and you'll get Ezekial. |
| 1075 | * TooDumbToLive: Gets taken away by Chess Dragon and cheerfully shouts "I'm going on an adventure!" Is presumably killed offscreen. |

| 1080 | !!!'''Voiced by: Jim Fortier''' |
| 1081 | |
| 1082 | A duo of floating alien brains who start a car wash in order to steal other people's brains to work for them. |
| 1083 | ------------ |
| 1084 | * BrainTheft: Their main goal with their business, and they're absolute idiots when it comes to thinking things through. |
| 1085 | * CanonImmigrant: The duo originally appeared in the ''WesternAnimation/SpaceGhostCoastToCoast'' episode "Chambraigne", where they pulled a similar stunt. |
| 1086 | * DidNotThinkThisThrough: They surgically removed Carl's brain, as in the Aqua Teens neighbor, and set it down outside to try and attract more customers to the car wash, despite the fact that it can't move like they do or is even alive in the first place, resulting in Carl's brain just rotting on the side of the road next to a radio. |
| 1087 | * EvilSoundsDeep: Carl Brain speaks in a low, dramatic, evil mastermind-like voice. |
| 1088 | * PaperThinDisguise: Their idea of a disguise for confronting humans, and the Aqua Teens, is a set of googly eyes, a hat, a wig and a plastic smile. |
| 1089 | * TheUnintelligible: Carl Jr. speaks in a high pitched, crazed gibberish voice that only sometimes has a coherent word in his ramblings. |
| 1090 | * VehicularSabotage: Their idea of cleaning a car involves dumping a dumpster full of rain water and garbage fluids on the hood, clamping cats so hard they piss all over it and slamming a bunch of hammers down to wreck the car. Amazingly, Carl only started getting suspicious at the last step. |

| 1093 | [[folder:The Bible Fruit]] |
| 1094 | ->''"I'll drag you right into my private hell, you don't wanna know my pain!"''\ |
| 1095 | ''"Bert, remember how hard you would hit me?"''\ |
| 1096 | ''"Jesus gives people obstacles to make them stronger, so that they can win."'' |
| 1097 | !!!'''Voiced by: Creator/DavidCross (Burt Banana), Creator/KristenSchaal (Tammy Tangerine), Creator/HJonBenjamin (Mortimer Mango)''' |
| 1098 | |
| 1099 | A group of three talking fruits, consisting of Bert Banana, Tammy Tangerine, and Mortimer Mango, who are all Born-Again Christians, as well as recovering drug addicts. |
| 1100 | ------------ |
| 1101 | * TheAlcoholic: All of them are former drug addicts, but Bert has a violent relapse after he finds out Frylock has rum. After Mortimer pours it down the sink, he's actually desperate enough to drink it that he wants to find a monkey wrench and drink it out of the pipes. After that, he goes on a rampage throughout the Aqua Teens' house, demanding cocaine from his friends. |
| 1102 | * AnthropomorphicFood: Much to the main trio's surprise, they're another trio of talking food. Frylock met them online, and assumed their pictures were just silly internet avatars. |
| 1103 | * CorruptedCharacterCopy: They're a rather obvious parody of the characters from ''WesternAnimation/VeggieTales''. However, they're very pushy about their Christianity and they are also recovering drug addicts who are willing to resort to violence to satisfy their addictions during a relapse. |
| 1104 | * FaceHeelTurn: At first, they're friendly towards Frylock and Meatwad, albeit pushy about their religion. However, Bert has a violent relapse and turns on everyone, demanding cocaine. Mortimer and Tammy then join him after Frylock tells them that Shake is [[BlatantLies filled with crystal meth]]. |
| 1105 | * {{Fingore}}: Mortimer lost two of his fingers when he was building a birdhouse on drugs. Bert also apparently used to beat up Tammy so hard that he needed his hands to be completely amputated and replaced. |
| 1106 | * TheFundamentalist: All three of them are extremely Christian and try to push their beliefs on Frylock. However, it's clear that they only turned to Jesus to try and get out of their drug addictions. |

| 1109 | [[folder:The Angel]] |
| 1110 | !!!'''Voiced by: Paul F. Tompkins''' |
| 1111 | An angel that came to haunt Shake after he dropped a slab of concrete into a busy street and killed his human body in a car crash. Now he forces Shake to do nice things for other people or else he'll send him straight to hell to be burnt. |
| 1112 | |
| 1113 | ---------- |
| 1114 | * DraggedOffToHell: His main power is sending people to hell and bringing them back, which he uses on Shake repeatedly to keep him on his leash. |
| 1115 | * GoodIsNotNice: He seems to have been a pious man before being killed, but he's absolutely and understandably pissed that Shake killed him, and is bent on making his life a literal hell if he doesn't behave nice. |

| 1118 | [[folder:Freda]] |
| 1119 | !!!'''Voiced by: Casey Wilson''' |

| 1121 | A RobotGirl built by Frylock to be the perfect mate for Shake. |
| 1122 | ------------ |
| 1123 | * AIIsACrapshoot: Freda rather quickly realizes she can't stand Shake even though she was programmed to love him, so she dumps him and tries to convince Carl to kill him. |
| 1124 | * BarbieDollAnatomy: According to Frylock. As a result, her "sex tapes" show her leafing through a magazine off to the side while Shake, [[note]]not like he has genitals either[[/note]] Carl, and Meatwad just jump up and down on the bed. |
| 1125 | * DrivenToSuicide: Throws herself off the bridge, after getting fed up with Shake's stalking |
| 1126 | * LadyInRed: She's seen wearing a pair of red boots and shorts. |
| 1127 | * RidiculouslyHumanRobot: At the start of episode, we're tricked to believe that Shake actually found his soulmate... until Frylock reveals the truth. |
| 1128 | * RoboticSpouse: Built to be this for Shake. She snaps out of it quickly. |
| 1129 | * SexForServices: Offers Carl a handjob if he kills Shake. It's unclear if she actually fulfills her promise. |
| 1130 | * {{Stripperiffic}}: Well, she was dressed up according to Shake's preferences. |
