* WhatCouldHaveBeen
** The Mooninites were originally going to be the ghosts of Atari games buried underneath the house in reference to the infamous [[UsefulNotes/TheGreatVideoGameCrashOf1983 Atari landfill]]. For that matter, they were also going to make more appearances in the seasons following TheMovie, but the showrunners couldn't figure out what to do with them.
** "X is forbidden!" was originally gonna be Shake's catchphrase. He would say anything that Meatwad does is forbidden.
** The unaired original cut of the pilot shows Dr. Weird having other associates besides Steve ([[OrphanedReference hence "gentlemen"]]).
** Also, the pilot's original cut had Carl say to the Aqua Teens "It'll be real funny when I crack you with a pipe". The line ended up being used in ''WesternAnimation/Sealab2021''.
** The {{cold open}}s for season 3 depicting a feud between the Plutonians and Mooninites were originally part of a ten-minute pilot for a spinoff called ''Spacecataz''.
** There were plans for a sequel to TheMovie titled "Death Fighter", but the idea remained in DevelopmentHell before being scrapped altogether, reportedly due to budget concerns.
** [[https://drdanipepper.tumblr.com/post/174108656939/athf-concept-art-from-the-volume-2-dvd-part-1 The concept art for the series had the characters in various design stages and character elements]], which were likely changed due to the show's low budget and change in plot.
*** Shake had the most changes; he initially had a nose, actual arms and hands, regular eyes that weren't connected to his lid. Shake also had a utility belt at one point and could propel himself with his straw. He also originally had feet that changed from suction cups, to straws and regular feet with shoes.
*** Frylock went through moderate changes; he was originally going to be a sort of wizard who'd say magic words to use his powers, which would explain some of his unique abilities such as his eye lasers and levitation. Design wise, he originally had legs made of fries and arms coming from his side. His beard was originally cloudlike, and would act as legs. He originally also had freezing breath and could shoot ammo from his fries. At one point, he was going to walk by turning himself upside down and using his fries as tentacles, which the crew found too disturbing.
*** Meatwad's design barely changed; he originally had bigger eyes with irises and pupils. Meatwad was originally going to shapeshift into more objects, including a man, a mailbox, even Jerry the Mouse. He could also grow arms and legs at will.
** The second half of Season One was planned to premiere in [[https://youtu.be/0kTYARmf6ok?t=204 October 2002]].
** In ''The Dressing'', a scrapped scene had Frylock give Meatwad some [[https://youtu.be/bMwe0IFM0Ds?t=711 leftovers and band-aids]] to give to Carl as apology for Turkatron harming him earlier. This explains why Carl is eating a [[OrphanedReference turkey leg]] at the end of the episode.

** The episode "Shake Like Me" was pulled from Creator/HBOMax in the wake of George Floyd's murder and the ensuing "Black Lives Matter" protests against police brutality, making the racial humor of the episode seem a little too inappropriate. In September 2020, it was officially banned for good by [adult swim]. However, it remains available on Google Play, and it can also be found on the standalone Volume 6 DVD release.

* NoBudget: The show, at least during its early seasons, had a budget of about $60,000 an episode, which is small compared to the $300,000 to $500,000 an episode that most animated shows receive, and each episode was animated in Adobe Photoshop and After Effects over a period of about five weeks.

* TheCastShowoff: Dave Willis plays in a rock band and often describes himself as 'frustrated musician' and also praises Matt Maiellaro's rocking skills aswell. So whenever we have a scene of some character playing guitar, it's not difficult to guess where the music came from.



* StarMakingRole: We can thank this show for giving Creator/DanaSnyder his big break as a prolific voice actor.
