"Oh... boy, I apologize. My hormones are goin' nuts!"

A LOT of Aqua Teen episodes thrive on line-crossing insanity, to the point where there's almost too many examples to list:


  • Shake's dialogue and general behavior is usually gloriously douche-y and fucked up, though him committing suicide with a shotgun just so the Marines won't enlist him is definitely among his most line-crossing moments. Every moment he's on-screen in Laser Lenses is arguably a contender, as well.
  • Gee Whiz has a lot of line-crossing in general, such as the Standards and Practices video Frylock shows to Meatwad. The pictured moment with Meatwad's "pregnancy" (which is really just a bunch of spiders growing in his stomach) causing his hormones to go nuts, to the point where he unleashes a Cluster Bleep-Bomb on Shake and Frylock, however, is easily the most jaw-droppingly messed up moment in the episode, as well as one of the funniest moments in the series.
  • Dickesode is probably the crown jewel of ATHF line-crossing, from its mere premise to the fact that it ends with Shake eating Carl's dick. The entire episode is so ridiculously vulgar that it's hysterical.
  • Handbanana is arguably just as insane; it gleefully ping-pongs over the line from start to finish. The titular character raping Carl the first time is definitely shocking, though it quickly becomes hilarious when it happens again, and again, and again. By the time Spaghetti starts raping Carl too (with Master Shake MASTURBATING TO IT, no less), it's near impossible not to be completely flabbergasted at what's unfolding on the screen.
  • The entirety of Carl is an absolutely demented riot, though Rudy blasting Carl AND Shake into red paste at the end is likely where things go into overdrive... if they weren't already there when Boxy Brown reveals that Carl set him on fire, then pissed on him.
  • Bible Fruit stars three of Frylock's friends; a recovering alcoholic/sex/drug addict, his fiance (who he'd viciously beaten in the past), and a former cocaine addict. The mere existence of these three characters would make the episode very dark... were they not talking fruits. The fact that they are quickly turns what'd be an incredibly bleak premise into one big ball of hilarity.
  • Knapsack going from a goofy Dora the Explorer parody to a twisted plot about an amateur porno crew intending to use Meatwad as one of their stars is one of the most brilliantly fucked up Bait-and-Switches in any cartoon. By the time Jubilee reveals she eats dog food for who knows how many of their skits, the line is basically a smoldering pile of ash on the pavement.
  • Super Model involves Meatwad manipulating Shake into getting unnecessary and disfiguring plastic surgery. This normally wouldn't be particularly funny, if it weren't happening to Shake (who had spent the entire series up to that point horribly tormenting Meatwad), the surgery wasn't comically over-the-top Meatgrinder Surgery, and if the results weren't so hilariously ugly. The fact that Shake's main concern is that he'll never be a supermodel and not anything else makes it even funnier.
  • Total Re-Carl starts to approach this territory when Frylock decides to stitch Carl's head... on an elderly black man, which goes about as well as you'd expect. After another couple mishaps (including putting the head on a bunch of eyeballs), Frylock stitches his head onto a toy truck; the line-crossing kicks in when Carl accepts his fate, and then Meatwad bursts into the house with the robot body Frylock built Carl while getting his revenge on Shake for the week. It's all pure insanity of the best kind.
