History YMMV / AquaTeenHungerForce

** ARISE CHICKUN! [[note]]While this [[WeirdAlEffect is more associated with]] [[Memes/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic the brony fandom]], the line did in fact originate from Aqua Teen Hunger Force.[[/note]]

* JerkassDissonance: Master Shake and Carl are total jerks, yet that's exactly why they're so popular with most of the fandom.

* MST3KMantra: The song "Cut You Up With a Linoleum Knife" in the movie's opening states "if you don't understand, you should not be here".
* NightmareFuel: [[NightmareFuel/AquaTeenHungerForce Now has its own page.]]

** There has also been popularity in photoshopping or drawing Carl's face and body into anime and cartoon characters, as evidenced [[https://derpicdn.net/img/view/2014/7/15/675048__safe_equestria+girls_screencap_edit_wat_rainbow+rocks_spoiler-colon-rainbow+rocks_diamond+tiara_granny+smith_background+human.png here]], [[http://31.media.tumblr.com/18633463dcf45144ae520e15d798cade/tumblr_mhob1lfFqs1rop4q2o1_1280.gif here]] and [[http://lolikips.deviantart.com/art/Yokarl-315177549 here]].

* UnintentionallySympathetic: Shake has become this for many fans in later seasons. He is hurt much more often, many times unjustified, and suffers as much, if not even more non-canon deaths than Carl. Fans began to ''sympathize'' from him, especially in the last season where he TookALevelInKindness (the sole exception being in "Hospice") but is still either brutally hurt or killed in every episode[[note]]Sans [[ThrowTheDogABone "Mouth Quest",]] being the only episode to avert this[[/note]].

** A particularly infamous example comes from the show's GrandFinale, "The Greatest Story Ever Told". Most fans found his death to be rather anticlimactic and unjustified. [[TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot Fans also thought that it would've been funnier if they shown an aging Shake along with Meatwad in the last scene]].

* FandomEnragingMisconception: It's "Aqua *Teen* Hunger Force", not "Aqua *Team* Hunger Force".

* FandomEnraginMisconception: It's "Aqua *Teen* Hunger Force", not "Aqua *Team* Hunger Force".

* FandomBerserkButton: It's "Aqua *Teen* Hunger Force", not "Aqua *Team* Hunger Force".

** The [[DarkerAndEdgier post-movie seasons]]. Some fans didn't mind the more vulgar themes and increased violence of those seasons, while others felt that the show fell into SeasonalRot because of it.

* ShockingSwerve: {{Invoked|Trope}}. The show absolutely revels in deliberately making as little sense as possible or ''[[ItMakesSenseInContext only]]'' [[ItMakesSenseInContext making sense in the context of the given episode]]. "T-Shirt of The Living Dead" (which begins with Meatwad making wishes on a magic t-shirt and [[HalfwayPlotSwitch ends with the Hunger Force]] SubbingForSanta after [[BodyHorror accidentally burning his entire body and melting his skin off]]) is just ''one'' example!

* MoralEventHorizon: As the show got DarkerAndEdgier from season 4 onward, characters started crossing the MEH much more often.
** Master Shake has crossed it a ''countless'' amount of times. Special mentions go to killing Meatwad's pets [[MicrowaveTheDog via the microwave]],[[note]]and his own as well, although he did it accidentally as he thought it was Meatwad's[[/note]] traumatizing Meatwad to the point of a DrivenToSuicide state in "Zucotti Manicotti", making Carl jump out the window and fall to his death in pursuit of his lasagna in "Lasagna", launching an arson attack on the city in "Super Hero", and causing a nuclear war in "The Granite Family".
** Frylock committed an unforgivable act in "Fry Legs" by killing a computer repair woman's boyfriend to get with her. This is made especially worse by the fact that he's usually the most rational member of the Aqua Teens.
** Carl's already an unlikeable jerkass at his best, but there are some episodes that go above and beyond to paint him as an irredeemable bastard. Special mentions go to "Larry Miller Hair System", where he gives [[ItMakesSenseInContext another version of himself]] advice that completely ruins his life and results in him shooting himself, and "Storage Zeebles", where he commits a SugarApocalypse, ''dooming an entire world's inhabitants'' [[MikeNelsonDestroyerOfWorlds out of sheer greed]].
** Jet Chicken was already a dick, but killing his doctor after he agreed to perform surgery on him and then forcing Meatwad at gunpoint to perform the surgery instead pushes him over the line.
** Markula having his vampire minions kill the President and trying to kill all humans.
** Meatwad letting Frylock get infected with Hypnogerms for almost no reason.

* FandomBeserkButton: It's "Aqua *Teen* Hunger Force", not "Aqua *Team* Hunger Force".

** "Call the neighbors. I want them to see ''this''.

** "It don't matter. None'a this matters."

** Any moment when the Aqua Teens' house is destroyed becomes awkward with the knowledge that Carey Means (Frylock's voice actor) had his house decimated by a fallen tree in a thunderstorm and was forced to live off of [=GoFundMe=] donations for a time because [adult swim] refused to pay him royalties or residuals.

* EnsembleDarkhorse

* WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids: This show is actually rated ''12'' in the UK. In other words, it's officially a kid's show in that country, never-mind all the graphic violence and strong sexual innuendo...

** Meatwad. Some fans find him funny and [[TheDogBitesBack loves it when he gets his revenge on Shake]] while other fans find him as a CreatorsPet who is also an annoying brat that deserves all of the abuse he's been getting. This is especially shown in episodes where he fully grasps the JerkAssBall.

* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: Subverted constantly almost every episode.
-->'''Carl''': There's something I need to say, ya know. Ever since my son was...never conceived because [[BlackComedyRape I never had consensual sex without money involved]], I always sorta looked at you as...well, kind've a thing that I could, ya know, live next to in accordance with state law.
-->'''Meatwad''': Oh, that's sweet. You're trying to say that you love me!
-->'''Carl''': Eh eh eh, let's not get ahead of ourselves here - (puts on Super Bowl glove) WHO ARE YOU TAKIN' TO THAT FRIGGIN' SUPERBOWL!
-->'''Meatwad''': [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments Carl, your finger!]]

* EnsembleDarkhorse:
** Since the very first episode, Dr. Weird has become a highly popular character, to the point where fans say that the cold openings of the first two seasons are the best.
** The Mooninites, easily the most remembered and quoted villains.
** The Plutonians, to a much lesser extent.
** The Cybernetic Ghost of Christmas Past from the Future!

** Handbanana.

** The Mooninites ''try'' to invoke this in "Moonajuana". Doesn't work on Frylock, though.
