Recap / Aqua Teen Hunger Force S 6 E 4 Chick Magnet

Go To

Master Shake purchases a chick magnet that only brings out their feminine sides.


  • Camp Straight: The chick magnet causes them to act very stereotypically feminine. They act friendly to each other, talk about periods, obsess over fabrics and parchment gifts, and also become extremely emotional (more obvious in Frylock’s case) and passive aggressive. The latter is actually a plot point as even after figuring out what the magnet is doing, Frylock can’t bring himself to confront Shake directly about it.
  • Casanova Wannabe: Shake’s attempting to use a gadget to compensate for his lack of sexual success. Despite this it’s actually one of few episodes he leaves the house to try and score women, although he gives up when he doesn’t have immediate success.
  • Credits Gag: Shake and Frylock continue yelling at each other over the credits.
  • Failed A Spotcheck: Shake and Frylock are so angry at each other that they completely fail to see the thousands of busty women literally piling up on their front lawn.
  • Literal Metaphor: The chick magnet literally sucks women to it. Whether it also makes them attracted to the owner is never stated.
  • Mundane Solution: It’s obvious to the viewer that the chick magnet doesn’t work because it’s missing a screw found in the box, but Shake absolutely refuses to even consider the possibility. Once Carl screws it in the device begins magnetizing women toward it.
  • No Ending: As Shake and Frylock berate each other, Meatwad (once again) and Carl have their feminine sides pulled out by the chick magnet — which then performs its literal function as thousands of woman begin to get magnetized to the device.
  • They Killed Kenny Again: Meatwad shoots the homeless guy who shows up at their front door.
  • True Companions: By being in-touch with their feminine sides, the Aqua Teens become this. Shake is a genuinely sweet roommate who appreciates his friends and Frylock is more compassionate, who is too afraid to hurt Shake's feelings. Once Meatwad gets the chick magnet out of their vicinity, they begin to angrily argue again as the credits roll.
