- First of all, they're not teens. Secondly, there's not water involved. The whole Hunger Force thing? That's probably misleading, too. In short, if you have to ask what "Aqua Teen Hunger Force" is about, it is probably not a show for you. The rest of us will go on thrilling to the adventures of Frylock, Meatwad and Master Shake as they, you know. hang out.Running Time: 150 min. Format: DVD MOVI
DVD Reviews of Aqua Teen Hunger Force - Volume Three
DVD Review: Seriously guys... This is post-modern art.
Summary: 5 Stars
This day in age, few things strike me as truly brilliant. Like, Holy FU*)@NG SH*% that is utter GENIUS. Aqua Teen Hunger Force is, without any question in my mind, body, or soul, the most brilliant show on television right now. In fact, I don't think there's a piece of television programming within the past decade that can match the audacity of the show; the only thing that can run along side it (and beat it, really) is 'The Simpsons' in its prime -- you know, I'm talking like, seasons 4-8, or somewhere around there. That level of excellence, I think, shall never be reached again, but if anything comes close, it's Aqua Teen Hunger Force in its later seasons -- namely three and four. This just so happens to be three, you lucky dog.
Sure, there's Family Guy. Hoopdy damn do. Hoopdy damn doodoo. Your moment. His movement. Yeah. Family Guy, which I was once a rabid fan of, is a good show. Used to be great, I think, but now is merely good. Macfarlene is a genius but the show got lazy. American Dad, sucker that it was, got in the way. Futurama was good, and got quite awesome, but its ambition sidetracked it a bit. Oh yeah, The Critic... That show, had it lasted, would have been downright mindboggling, but you know, the greatest are often stoned too early.
What's my point? There is no point. This is divine stuff. Why? Everything comes together. Chaos transforms to order and as we witness this we are perplexed. By this season, the masters go deeper into their psyches and contemplate what is truly funny, and how in the world they could make the show better. Basically, we finally get a fine tuned program, which season two hinted at but never quite manged. Every single damn episode here is consistent. The animation, voice acting, editing, sound effects, timing... they're all spot on. It's not as quickly paced as the following season, but it's more coherent because of that.
The voice acting here cannot go unseen. Dave Willis, co-creator and vocalizer of main characters Meatwad and Carl, as well as a slew of the show's other guest characters, is a downright king among men. He's like Castellaneta at his peak with Homer Simpson, or MacFarlane in the most glorious moments of Stewie Griffin. Meatwad I believe is the show's most immediate force and attraction, and Carl ultimately becomes most fans' (that I know of) favorite. I can't get into technicality -- I'm not a voice coach -- but instinct doesn't lie to me... This guy is a bonafied prodigy. Same goes for Snyder as (Master) Shake. The guy has mastered his craft by this point. It's obvious he improvs a great deal of the time, and within each episode he simply comes more and more into his sphere of the Shake. Carey Means as Frylock showcases himself well too, and though his character isn't as pivitol regarding hysteria as the other three, he is indispensable and can still make you laugh until you s@#% yourself.
That's just the voice acting. The animation is to the common eye mediocre. To one of the higher intellect, however, it reveals its true colors. Minimilistic in the most wonderful sense. Case in point -- you often see nothing but Shake, unanimated, for seconds at a time, usually while another character verbally condemns him. Nothing more. And yet, I want to cry because it's so unbelievably funny. I don't always know exactly WHAT the reasoning behind this is -- though I know there is in fact logic to it which I can usually identify to a point -- but it doesn't matter. It makes me hurt from laughter. Yet another case in point -- normal, absurdist dialogue by Shake and Meatwad ensues, and Meatwad merely sits in the middle with his eyes going from one character to another. Like, three snippets of animation, over thirty seconds. Yet therein lie comedic gold. And this I know -- without getting into the psycho-specifics -- many of these moments cause such uproarious joy because of one thing -------- they hint at the core of the infinite ABSURDITY THAT THE WHOLE SHOW IS. It is surreal and the most whack thing you've ever seen, if you really tap into it, and within that beast of chaos is outrageous, stunning comedy.
I shouldn't write too much, as surely many fans of the show aren't looking for reviews of this nature, but I like to at least present a somewhat articulate response to the show. I actually forgot to name another show that comes close to this level of merit -- Upright Citizens Brigade. Like Aqua Teen, the show showcased absurdist humor like little else. The type of show that puts every other program on television to utter f*%@ng shame. It might be shallow, but when someone says one of their favorite shows is Friends, I immediately dismiss their entire character, because it is completely idiotic and Lifeless in the face of something so rigorously refined and crafted.
I don't like rating anything five stars. I just don't. I do it, but I usually think, "meh -- does that really deserve it?". Absolutely not an inch of doubt here with this DVD. Not an inch. I pirate things, occasionally. Download music a good amount. Never would I dare take a free copy of this DVD -- I've bought backup copies to lend to friends. This show can bring a lot of joy to someone's Life, and remind them of the most intimitely funny selves within them.
I owe these guys so much.
