Recap / Aqua Teen Hunger Force S 3 E 11 T Shirt Of The Living Dead

Go To

After stealing a magical t-shirt once owned by Anubis, Lord of the Dead, Master Shake and Meatwad wreak havoc on the Easter Bunny and Santa Claus.

Trope Examples Include!

  • Bittersweet Ending: Santa Claus survives his ordeal with eggzilla and with the help of the Aqua Teens, is able to continue delivering toys on Christmas Eve. But he'll spend the rest of his life in a skin graft made of soccer ball lids and Meatwad has become a tyrannical jerk because of the T-shirt.
  • Bowdlerise: After Santa is summoned by Meatwad he angrily tells him off for waking him up and says that he needs time for "those faggoty elves" to show up. Later airings change it to "those sweet little elves".
  • Christmas Episode: Could count as one, as it involves the team helping Santa deliver presents (after accidentally summoning him and burning him alive). Though it should be noted that this episode didn't take place during Christmas time either, as it is stated to be "in the middle of *jingle bells*ing July" and only cut to Christmastime at the end of the episode.
  • Eskimos Aren't Real: Shake argues that Egypt isn't real under the logic that DMX doesn't rap about it.
  • Man on Fire: Meatwad summons Santa Claus to the house with a powerful T-shirt. He then summons a fire-breathing Easter egg named Eggzilla that sets Santa ablaze. Thankfully, Frylock was able to save his life.
  • Shrunk in the Wash: Shake throws the titular shirt in the washing machine with a full bottle of bleach and in hot water, but Frylock reads the hieroglyphs on the shirt's tag saying that it should only be washed in cold water, so it comes out shrunk and only Meatwad can wear it. Unlike Shake, he manages to get its powers working.
  • Took a Level in Jerkass: Meatwad at first uses the shirt for juvenile purposes by summoning Santa Claus and the Easter bunny. But he soon begins to become an arrogant tyrant.
