Dancing Is Forbidden: An Aqua Teen Hunger Force Exploration Ronnie Neeley

This episode was originally published August 29, 2022. Proper Season 5 coverage starts August 5th-- in the mean time, enjoy re-living this episode similar to Robots Everywhere in that the Frat Aliens are annoying (but funny) as hell!
----------------------------



Imagine buying a home security system so incredible that it causes aliens to crash land in front of your house. How would you feel? Shocked? Excited? Annoyed? If you choose the last option, you might be Carl. In this episode of Aqua Teen, Carl accidentally summons two incredibly annoying frat bros to Earth, where they inflict a short-lived reign of unwanted sexual advances, vomit, and family braggery. Frylock builds a rocketship, Meatwad defends his sexuality, and Shake watches The Jeffersons in this episode that kicks off the Volume 3 DVD. Ronnie also gets into some ideas ditched from the original script, where "My Dad Owns a Dealership" comes from, and how "Frat Aliens" compares to "The Cubing". Other topics discussed include MySpace's failed server migration, Patton Oswalt's career, and why we use "lbs" for pounds.

If you wondered why the Season 12 intro swapped up "Make the homies say ho and the girlies wanna scream," well, gosh dangit, this is the episode for you! ATHF Renaissance Man Nick Ingkatanuwat fills us in on his thought process on swapping these iconic lines around. I'm also throwing down some dirt details... if you have what it takes to receive these deets in your ear holes. I'm surprised I even had what it took to say it out of my mouth hole!

Going thru the differences between the official 2007 Carl Wash episode, and the rough cut that stealth aired in 2006! Thank you SO MUCH to Ian for hooking me up with this (inconsequential) piece of ATHF (and television) history! Also giving some updates on the world of Dancing Is Forbidden in a voice hoarser than Seabiscuit.

What started in hell will end on this podcast... maybe. Matt Maiellaro (Aqua Teen's co-creator, Hellraiser 3's first assistant director of the second [aka "love"] unit) is back with a vengeance... for blood... or at least I assume that's what he was drinking from his cup while we talked. Matt's filling us in on the future of Aqua Teen, while also filling us in on the past of Aqua Teen answering all sorts of Season 12 questions-- from who they originally wanted to voice Vanessa the apple, to if they wanted to change the show's name again, to how storyboarding affected creating the show, and so much more! You'll also gain the forbidden knowledge of whether or not Matt has tried VR, if he's a sports fan, and his comedic influences. To top it off, we're getting into Matt's decision to join YouTube/Twitter, his fire hot Shredforce pilot blowing up online, and how many 12 Oz. Mouse flasks he's lost in the woods.

Season 4 of Aqua Teen is certainly the most interesting season. While the season has its share of classic-formula episodes, it also sees Matt and Dave pushing the envelope of what Aqua Teen even is. From fourth-wall breaking episodes (Boost Mobile), to dramatic episodes (Party All The Time), to clip-show episodes (Deleted Scenes, partially Grim Reaper Gutters), to some of the show's most shocking (Dickesode, Handbanana)-- this ain't your grandma's Aqua Teen. Well, unless you're Dave Willis, cuz his grandma was literally in an episode. Today on the podcast we're diving into this unique season, diving into its highs and lows. We're also diving through the top films, albums, and games of 2006! Other topics discussed include Amy Winehouse making me lose my show notes, sneaking my gigantic Nintendo DS into class to play Pokemon Diamond, and Timbaland not having time to credit people he rips off for his smash hit selling records.
