AQUA TEEN HUNGER FORCE VOLUME 3
Out on DVD January 25th
Three. That’s the Magic Number…
In case you don’t know, this is how it goes down. Aqua Teen Hunger Force stars Master Shake, a sadistic, lazy milkshake; Frylock, an erudite, floating packet of fries and Meatwad, a simple-minded, easily-lead meatball and their corpulent next door neighbour Carl. They live in New Jersey in a less-than-salubrious situation. Seriously, you should see their kitchen. There are plenty of badly thought out attempts to score booze, cash, women, and booze. And cash. Guest characters abound, including Frat Aliens, killer robot scorpions, a clown virus, Ozzy Osbourne’s guitarist, Zack Wylde and, yes, yes y’all, the notorious Mooninites make another appearance. Seriously, it’s great. Tell everyone.
Aqua Teen Hunger Force is written and directed by veteran Adult Swim talents Dave Willis and Matt Maiellaro. Voice talent includes Dave & Matt, Dan Snyder, Carey Means and Atlanta‐based rapper Schoolly D, (who wrote and performs the theme song, and also provides occasional links and commentary). And Zack Wylde voices his own character. If you’re into rock music, you might think that’s quite cool.

And just so you know; about that name…
The trio have their origins in a scene with anthropomorphic fast food items that appeared on the 1990s Adult Swim show Space Ghost, Coast to Coast. In earlier episodes, Master Shake identified the "Aqua Teen Hunger Force" as a team which solved crimes for money. After a few episodes, this premise and the use of the name by the characters, doesn’t really come up except to reference the fact it’s something of a misnomer. In one of the episodes in this volume, Frylock mentions that they stopped fighting crime because "that wasn't making us a whole lot of money."
