Recap / Aqua Teen Hunger Force S 12 E 5 Anubis

Go To

Master Shake and Carl attend a friendship seminar where they are goaded into bringing more people to attend.


  • Curtain Call: Near the end of the episode there are two massive crowd shots showing a litany of recurring and minor/one-off villains and weirdos attending the party. Fitting, given that this is the season finale (and possible Series Finale if the show is not renewed).
  • Downer Ending: While Frylock is wise enough to leave, Shake, Meatwad, and Carl willingly enslaved themselves to Anubis’ boss and are forced to build the rocket.
  • Karmic Death: Anubis spends the whole episode manipulating Carl, Meatwad, and Frylock, while blackmailing Shake. He gets his desserts when he is blown apart by his boss for failing to bring ten friends.
  • No Good Deed Goes Unpunished: A rare one for Master Shake of all people. He goes out of his way to cheer up Carl by attending the friendship seminar, which ends up with Shake spending the rest of the episode being blackmailed by Anubis over his bed wetting and eventually getting enslaved by his boss.
  • Only Friend: This episode examplifies how the Aqua Teens are the only friends Carl has and vice versa.
  • Pet the Dog: Shake genuinely calls Carl his friend and wanted to join Carl in the seminar with no ulterior motive.
    • Despite being scared how the others might judge him for his bed wetting, Frylock is surprisingly understanding and tolerable of Shake’s problem, telling Meatwad that he has known for years.
  • The Reveal: Anubis only wanted Carl and Shake to bring in 10 friends so they can be enslaved by his boss and build a rocket to “Happiness Planet”. Which according to the boss is definitely not a pyramid.
