* OvershadowedByControversy: The movie will always be more remembered for its ViralMarketing campaign that caused the Boston Bomb Scare, as well as being indirectly responsible for Cartoon Network's perceived NetworkDecay in subsequent years [[note]]After the Bomb Scare, then-CEO of CN Jim Samples stepped down from his position in light of backlash. He was then replaced by Stuart Snyder, who pushed out many of the network's animated series in favor of live-action series in a misguided attempt at competing with Disney Channel and Nickelodeon more. Snyder himself was later replaced by Christina Miller, who received widespread criticism from many longtime CN fans due to her questionable executive decisions that included seemingly prioritizing ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGo'' reruns in the network's scheduling above all else, accusations of enforcing the AnimationAgeGhetto by placing emphasis on more LighterAndSofter works, and apparently favoring domestic cartoonists over creators from outside of [=CN=].[[/note]].

Movie made back more than 5 times it’s small budget.


* AudienceAlienatingPremise: The entire movie is predicated on one joke, that being the perception that ''Aqua Teen Hunger Force'' is [[SelfDeprecation the last TV show that anyone would want a feature film based on]]. It's basically {{troll}}ing you by existing! Meanwhile, it's heavy adherence to the show's [[LimitedAnimation low-budget aesthetic]] and {{surreal humor}}, along with a slight ContinuityLockout, can make it difficult for non-fans to get into.

** The Cybernetic Ghost of Christmas Past from the Future begins harassing the Plutonians about the Insanoflex as they attempt to ghost the call they're getting from Frylock about how to assemble one. He tells a long intricate tale about how it's technology that could improve or destroy the world, but eventually gets caught up in his usual inane ramblings until even he can't ignore the elephant in the room.
--> '''The Cybernetic Ghost of Christmas Past from the Future''': You'll set it up, but it will take you over a week... and you'll keep telling yourself "I should hop on that and use it"... because these slacks no longer fit righ- You have got to answer that ''fucking'' phone, it's driving me nuts!

* AssPull: PlayedForLaughs. Pretty much every single plot twist in the movie comes out of nowhere and has little bearing on the plot (or what little there is of one). Much like the show itself, the entire point of it is to [[MindScrew deliberately make as little sense as possible]].
