View on Wikipedia
This is a list of characters featured in the Adult Swim animated television series Aqua Teen Hunger Force.
Main characters
[edit]
Master Shake
[edit]Voiced by Dana Snyder, Master Shake (or simply Shake) is a mean-spirited, narcissistic, obnoxious, lazy, shallow, selfish and idiotic milkshake. When the Aqua Teens solve crimes, Master Shake claims to be the leader, despite rarely accomplishing anything and usually obstructing progress and leaving the actual work to Frylock. His special powers are emitting charged blobs of pistachio milkshake from his straw and making any small object he throws to the ground explode, though the latter is not noticed by himself or other characters. Shake particularly loathes Meatwad and goes out of his way to torment and bamboozle him with elaborate schemes. Master Shake also frequently tries to con other characters, notably Carl, though it always fails thanks to his selfishness, greed, gullibility or any of his other glaring character flaws. He engages in various get-rich-quick schemes that are poorly thought out and usually illegal in nature. Even when Master Shake's plans do work out, he usually miscalculates and does not earn profits but incurs incredible losses. Carl is often his business partner in these ridiculous schemes. Shake is also extremely lazy and balks at the idea of completing chores, let alone getting a job; the few times he has held a job ended with Shake abandoning his post and, on one occasion, trying to embezzle the register on his way out. Shake is extremely vain and self-absorbed and frequently acts out to get attention. According to one critic he is "voiced, as always, with wonderful snarkiness by Dana Snyder."[1]
Frylock
[edit]Voiced by Carey Means, Franklin French Frylock (or simply Frylock) is a floating box of French fries who has laser-shooting contact lenses, dental braces and a goatee. He is easily the series' smartest character and often saves Shake and Meatwad from danger. His special powers are levitation and various eye beams, both powered by a large jewel on his back. He occasionally tries to be environmentally friendly, to the ire of Master Shake. Frylock often serves as the straight man to the antics of the other characters in the series, but is known to act perverted towards women not normally considered to be socially desirable and occasionally engages in illegal and amoral sciences, sometimes at the behest of anonymous benefactors or black market buyers.
Meatwad
[edit]Voiced by Dave Willis, Meatwad is a large and ball-like clump of ground beef (stated by Shake to be hamburger meat in "Dickesode") with a lone tooth and, due to moving around by rolling, he tends to have stray hairs embedded in his "body". He is very childlike and naive, something which leaves him both sweet-natured and easily bamboozled. Frylock tries to be a good brother figure to Meatwad, but Shake often tortures and pranks Meatwad, although in many episodes, Meatwad manipulates Shake into causing harm to himself by manipulating his greed and vanity. Meatwad is often manipulated by numerous parties into going along with their illegal and dangerous activities, particularly by Shake and the Mooninites. His special powers are shapeshifting into any form he desires (such as a hot dog or an igloo, as seen in the intro) and mitosis. Meatwad's other special power is that he can absorb a lot of static electricity and grow rapidly after absorbing a large amount of it.
Carl
[edit]Also voiced by Dave Willis, Carl Brutanunanulewski or Brutananadilewski[a] is the quick-tempered, vulgar, sarcastic, obese and unlucky human neighbor of the often destructive Aqua Teens. Carl loves pornography, prostitutes and strippers, sports (especially the New York Giants), his Dodge Stealth "2 Wycked", classic rock and junk food. He hates it when the Aqua Teens are in his pool or when they (especially Shake) mess with his car, though he is occasionally cordial to Frylock and Meatwad, to whom he refers as "Fryman" and "Meatman", respectively. Carl prides himself on being more normal than his neighbors; however, he is shown to engage in or have connections with various illegal activities and criminal associates and has bizarre sexual fetishes. Carl is mostly unfazed by the various odd happenings around him, and is often maimed or killed. Carl also appeared on his own sports-related online series entitled Carl's Stone Cold Lock of the Century of the Week, as well as Pregame Prognostifications from the Pigskin Wyzzard. Carl generally has a contentious and negative relationship with the Aqua Teens; particularly Shake, whom he despises and often refers to derisively as "Drink Cup" or simply "Cup". He nevertheless ends up (willingly or not) associating with them and their antics.
Recurring characters
[edit]Doctor Weird
[edit]Voiced by C. Martin Croker, Doctor Weird is a mad scientist who lives in an abandoned mental asylum on the perpetually rainy Jersey Shore that shows up at the cold openings of the first three seasons. Weird did not appear in the series again until the eighth season, but some episodes have a picture of him and Frylock in the latter's room. The film explains that it was Weird who created the Aqua Teens for the purpose of watching them crash into a brick wall, but this idea never became a reality. But in the end's twist, Weird was revealed to have been created by Frylock. He is loosely based on Dr. Strangemoon, a one-off villain from Josie and the Pussycats, who lives in South Florida.
Steve
[edit]Steve, also voiced by C. Martin Croker, is Dr. Weird's assistant. Red-haired, wearing a lab coat and science goggles, is normally pictured holding and staring at a test tube. Steve often becomes the victim of mishaps with Weird's experiments, many resulting in his death or some kind of negative reaction.
George Lowe
[edit]George Lowe (the voice actor for Space Ghost on Space Ghost Coast to Coast) periodically appears in Aqua Teen Hunger Force as a fictionalized version of himself. George made his first appearance in "Mail Order Bride" as a wedding DJ. He often appears as a policeman, although he has also appeared as an actor, attorney, and repairman, among other roles.

The Mooninites
[edit]Ignignokt, who is voiced by Dave Willis, and Err, who is voiced by Matt Maiellaro, are two-dimensional 8-bit aliens from the Moon; belonging to a race known as the Mooninites. Ignignokt is the calmer, green leader and Err is the smaller, quick-tempered, pink sidekick. The two are extremely arrogant, and often claim to be superior to anyone who lives on Earth, despite never giving a reason for their alleged superiority and in reality is quite the opposite. When pressed by Frylock, they claimed they are superior because they can "jump really high" due to the lower gravity of the Moon compared to the Earth, something they promptly fail at doing. A running gag of how whenever the duo use their weaponry, the projectiles they fire will move at a ridiculously slow speed.
The Plutonians
[edit]Oglethorpe, who is voiced by Andy Merrill, and Emory, who is voiced by Mike Schatz, are two spiked aliens from Pluto. Oglethorpe is the fat, orange, dumber leader with a German accent (who resembles a slice of cheese) and Emory is the green, smarter one with a headband (who resembles a shred of lettuce); however, their Master Shake "clone", Major Shake, states the obvious fact that "they're [both] really stupid." Oglethorpe appeared in the 2018 Dr. Demento album Dr. Demento Covered in Punk.[2]
MC Pee Pants
[edit]Voiced by MC Chris, MC Pee Pants is a criminally insane rapper who wears a shower cap and a diaper. He takes different forms (a giant spider, a cow, a decrepit old man, among others) in each appearance and is usually killed and sent to Hell over and over again and is occasionally sent back to the mortal world by Satan in continuously pathetic forms. His rap albums contain (not so) subliminal messages in order to get his fans (just Meatwad, and Carl on one occasion) to assist in his outlandish world domination schemes. MC Pee Pants appeared in the 2018 Dr. Demento album Dr. Demento Covered in Punk.[2]
Cybernetic Ghost of Christmas Past from the Future
[edit]Voiced by Matt Maiellaro, the Cybernetic Ghost of Christmas Past from the Future is a crazy robot that starts long, nonsensical stories with "thousands of years ago...", with fog always appearing out of nowhere in whichever location when he begins to tell his stories. In the spinoff Aquadonk Side Pieces it is revealed he is an actual ghost in a suit of robot armor.
Dr. Wongburger
[edit]Voiced by Tommy Blacha, Dr. Wongburger is an insane alien scientist. He appears in the episodes "Dickesode", "Creature from Plaque Lagoon", and "Hands on a Hamburger". His running storyline is that the various establishments he runs are actually fronts for his plan to build a spaceship so that he may return to his home planet. He takes on various forms in all of his appearances, from a phallic shape, a giant tooth, and a giant hamburger.
Boxy Brown
[edit]Voiced by Dave Willis in the series, and Killer Mike in Aqua Teen Forever: Plantasm, Boxy Brown is a friend of Meatwad's, but can talk in an African-American voice. He is a cardboard box with an afro and face. Unlike the other talking characters, his mouth does not move while he talks and only those to whom he talks can hear him.
Markula
[edit]Voiced by Matt Maiellaro, Markula is a vampire and the Landlord of the Aqua Teens and Carl. He appears in the episodes "Robots Everywhere", "Sirens", "Couple Skates", "Vampirus", and "The Greatest Story Ever Told". He also appears in the direct-to-video movie Aqua Teen Forever: Plantasm. In the first couple of episodes of season five, Markula had demons kidnap the Aqua Teens, because he refused to fix a gas leak, so they refused to pay for October's rent. In those episodes Carl received new neighbors that irritated Carl and, in the same breath, overjoyed Markula. Markula also has the power to mutate living things by biting them. Markula was eventually killed by Carl with a bottle of garlic champagne in the episode "Couples Skate" exclaiming "Open wide, jackass!". He was 4,040 years old. In the very next episode (Reedickyoulus), Frylock said "Finally, I keep telling and telling our landlord" even though Markula was dead at the time. Somehow Markula survived, because he shows up in a season 8 episode in which he and a bunch of bats have a virus that affects Carl, but not Shake.
Other characters
[edit]
- Allen (Matt Berry) – A small purple alien who takes over the world and kills anyone who he finds to be acting immoral. Master Shake lies to and manipulates him to get him killed, saving the world.
- Bert Banana (David Cross), Tammy Tangerine (Kristen Schaal) and Mortimer Mango (H. Jon Benjamin) – A group of born again Christian fruit who Frylock meets on Myspace. They try to convert the Aqua Teens to Christianity but eventually fall off the wagon themselves and start drinking again.[3] They made cameos in "A PE Christmas".[4] An Aqua Teen Hunger Force spin-off series entitled Soul Quest Overdrive features characters inspired by them.
- Dumbassahedratron (Jon Schnepp) – Is a levitating cubical entity obsessed with telling jokes and sharing his bumper sticker insight. He claims to be the Wisdom Cube, but, however, the Wisdom Cube is in fact his cousin.[5] In "The Last One", he ends up in hell after dying of suffocation.[6]
- Dan (Ned Hastings) – a rain gutter salesman who "won't leave 'til he makes a sale" and strongly resembles the Grim Reaper. Dan sold gutters to the Aqua Teens and killed Carl. Dan's only appearance occurs in "Grim Reaper Gutters".[7]
- Merle (Andy Merrill), Flargon and Dingle (both Scott Hilley) – Three leprechauns who trick people by sending spam emails to go to a park and stay in the rainbow, but in reality, they steal their valuables. They use a rainbow projecting machine which they stole from Dr. Weird. The leader is dim-witted, while his partner is slightly more intelligent. The gender of the extra one is unknown and all he says are "Feet" and "No Feet".[8] They were killed trying to reach the Moon in "The Last One" in an accident that also destroys the trees.[6]
- Drewbacca (Scott Adsit) – A wookiee who pretended to be a werewolf. He offered to cut the Aqua Teens' lawn if they helped him blow up the moon, but he ended up annoying Frylock very much. At one point in the episode, Drewbacca turned into a werewolf (though this is later revealed to just be his Wookiee hair growing back), and killed Carl. He is later revealed to be a shaved Wookiee (and a fan of Star Trek) who plays in a Star Trek tribute band (which was revealed by Frylock). Drewbacca's only appearance on the show was "2-And-A-Half Star Wars Out of Five".[9]
- D.P. and Skeeter (aka Frat Aliens) (Patton Oswalt) – Two fish-like aliens who have blue-green skin and often seem intoxicated. D.P. keeps mentioning that his father owns an automobile dealership. In the episode "Frat Aliens", where they are first introduced, D.P. admits he does not know his given name.[10] He has claimed that D.P. stands for "Donkey Puncher". They also appeared in the episode "The Last One", where they are both killed and devoured by a female alien;[6] however, they are featured in the 2007 video game Aqua Teen Hunger Force Zombie Ninja Pro-Am.[11]
- Dusty Gazongas (Scott Thompson) – a mindless sexy stripper/electrician that Shake and Carl become obsessed over and fight over.
- Freedom Cobra (Gregory Alan Williams) – A living tattoo of a cobra, Shake got to pick up chicks. It was the tattoo artist's cheapest tattoo and had to be "installed" during a lightning storm. It gives its wearer an appetite for human flesh. At first, Shake managed to convince him to start off with Meatwad's dog Bobby (which was originally Shake's dog before it started attacking him in response to his abuse), but later ends up eating Carl, after Freedom Cobra suggested they eat Meatwad (whom Shake did not want to eat out of fear of getting into trouble). Shake later told Frylock and Meatwad the truth after Frylock discovered Carl's hand. They took Shake to the doctor to get the tattoo surgically removed, but Freedom Cobra forced the doctor to cut off his hands so he and Shake could eat them. He also had the doctor give Shake plastic surgery apparently so no one can tell Shake's sad, after he is done eating them. It appears in the episode "Freedom Cobra".[12]
- Gorgatron – A giant Mooninite who Ignignokt and Err use as a villain in their video game to seek the "moon master" for protection from him. Only seen in "Moon Master".[13]
- Handbanana (Dave Willis) – A yellow "dog" Frylock made for Meatwad using a software called Make Your Own Dog 1.0, however, during the creation process in Carl's pool, Shake contaminates the process, and the "dog" is just a larger version of Shake's hand. Although nice and friendly to everyone else he "mindlinks" with Carl and rapes him repeatedly throughout the episode. Handbanana was made from radioactive waste and Shake's hand and has a close resemblance to a banana, hence how he got his name. He has a non-speaking cameo in "One Hundred". He also appears in the Aqua Unit Patrol Squad-1 intro, as a leather jacket wearing thug fighting with Frylock.[14]
- Happy Time Harry (David Cross) – A mean, cynical, and depressed doll Frylock bought for Meatwad due to his low price of $3.99. His bad attitude affects all the Aqua Teens, especially Meatwad, who after trying to play with him, adopts his cynical demeanor. Happy Time Harry suffers from alcoholism, cirrhosis, and a pill addiction. He is also suicidal and engages in self-harming behavior. When threatened by Master Shake and Frylock, he begs them to put him out of his misery. He has a receding hairline and wears only a pair of boxers and little red dancing shoes. He has a retractable knife in place of his missing hand, which he claims his father gave him. He was thrown of a cliff by Master Shake at the end of "Dumber Dolls"[15] but was later killed by Frylock in "The Last One".[6]
- Hoppy Bunny (Scott Adsit) – A furry whose fursona is a pink bunny with a crown on it. When Carl's new recorder started taking control of him, Hoppy Bunny ordered Carl to put on an elfish garb and play the recorder for the amusement of him and his fellow furries. In his day job, he is a surgeon.[16]
- Inflatable Hitler (Bill Hader) – Adolf Hitler in the form of a balloon, the result of an attempt to smuggle his Nazi memorabilia in a balloon placed in his rectum, the balloon's pop killing him and fusing his soul into it. Frylock worked for him for a brief time, somewhat unaware of his identity, until he found out that Hitler planned to get rid of Jews with an army of Aryan balloons (armed with the biological weapon Frylock designed to target Jews that he was having Frylock develop). Frylock and Master Shake try to pass off balloons filled with Shake's farts as the bio-weapon Frylock developed, but Hitler discovers their deception (having converted Meatwad to the Jewish faith in order to test the weapon out on him) and unleashes his balloon army on them; however, Frylock defeats them easily by popping them with the sharp end of his fry. Hitler then tells his origin story before the Aqua Teens manage to convince him to stop hating the Jews when he found out Adam Sandler (along several celebrities he liked) is a Jew, causing him to accept the Jews, even hugging Jewish Meatwad. However, he is popped and killed by Frylock when he redirects his hatred from the Jews to gay people. His only appearance on the show was in "Der Inflatable Fuhrer".[17]
- Insane-O-Flex – A transforming exercise machine created by Walter Melon. In the feature film, Carl sits in it when it is still in the form of a normal exercise machine. After Carl sits down, the machine transforms into a monster that straps Carl to it, and forces him to do an innumerable amount of reps, leaving Carl with a gigantic, chiseled body. The Insane-o-flex creates havoc throughout the whole town. However, its one weakness is horrible music through which it cannot "feel" rhythm. Master Shake destroys the Insane-o-flex by playing a horribly mediocre song called "Nude Love" from his new album. The Insane-o-flex is probably a girl, because it lays eggs. First appeared in the movie.
- Javier – Dr. Weird's Spanish speaking janitor. In Revenge of the Trees when Steve was mocking Dr. Weird, Javier tried to warn Steve of Dr. Weird's giant head popping out before Steve had his head bitten off. In Kidney Car, Javier discovers Dr. Weird's medallion and upon picking it up, Dr. Weird shoots him with exploding tacos.
- Love Mummy (Tom Clark) – A mummy who demands expensive goods and threatens the Aqua Teens with a curse if they fail to comply. Eventually, Frylock discovers that the "curse" is simply a tactic to manipulate the Aqua Teens to do his bidding, and simply throws him out with the garbage.[18] The Love Mummy also appears as a "piece of junk" in later episodes. His crown hat turns the lower half of anyone who wears it into a snake tail, as it did to Carl.
- Major Shake (Matt Harrigan) – a poorly made clone of Master Shake, created by Oglethorpe and Emory, and has a boombox sticking in his side. Was sent to Earth to "deterraform" the Earth and is shown to be smarter than his creators. Frylock easily saw through his disguise, knowing he did not share the same personality as Shake.
- Mothmonsterman (H. Jon Benjamin) – A creation of Dr. Weird. He is infatuated with Master Shake's signal, and stalked the Aqua Teens with the hope that Master Shake would switch the signal back on.[19] He looks like a giant humanoid moth. He wears brown pants and black shoes. He also appeared in "The Last One".[6]
- Ol' Drippy (Todd Field) – a living, breathing clutter of mold reincarnated from a pile of trash Shake left sitting molding on the floor. He befriends Meatwad and has a habit of cleaning and redecorating. He claims to be half-penicillin.
- One Hundred (Robert Smigel) – Only appeared in the 100th-episode special, "One Hundred", is a giant, mutant yellow monster in the shape of the number 100, that destroyed the Aqua Teens house and thus following them into the old Scooby-Doo cartoon parody threatening to rape Shake's girlfriend.[20]
- Oog (Jon Glaser) – A caveman, who stumbled upon one of Frylock's inventions that vanished in time, that kept him alive and made him a bit more intelligent.
- The POD (Bill Hader) – A live pod. He kept trying to replicate Shake, but Frylock stopped him every time. He is a big fan of Chickenfoot. In the end the POD replicated Carl and Chickenfoot.[21] His only appearance on the show was "IAMAPOD".
- RABBOT – a giant robotic rabbit created by Dr. Weird who wreaks havoc upon the city, sprays an alarming amount of hairspray, totals Carl's car, and constantly names the days of the week.
- Randy the Astonishing (Dave Willis) – A yellow tentacled creature that is the prince of Jupiter. Shake sold Meatwad to Randy's circus which becomes a flop when Shake does his act.[22] He later shows up in "The Last One" getting controlled by Travis of the Cosmos, and getting a wig from Bingo that turns him into a frozen clown.[6]
- Romulox (Todd Barry) – A hipster that Shake accused of stealing his PDA, which actually belonged to Romulox.[23] He is a humanoid monster made of tar that wears a bra and bikini, he appears in the episodes "PDA" and "The Last One".[6]
- Rubberman (Don Kennedy) – (character design by Catherine Kaehne—also known as Lance Potter or Lance: the Duck made from Used Condoms) Appearing in the episode "Rubberman," Frylock created him out of the used condoms and needles left outside Carl's house by crackwhores, and intended to use him as a duck-shaped mascot to promote safe sex. Instead, Meatwad uses Carl's lamp to bring him to life á la Frosty the Snowman, at which point they go on a crime spree. Eventually he was killed by Frylock with a flamethrower.[24]
- Rudy – A giant baby who is worshiped as a god by the Flightless Birds of Death Island. He is encountered by the Aqua Teens (in episode 90: Eggball) when they embark on an expedition to acquire more metallic eggs to use as balls for Master Shake's custom built pinball machine. He later goes on a rampage and destroys his entire island, causing the Flightless Birds to speculate that he may be developmentally disabled.
- The Trees – Talking trees that tried to prove that Shake and Carl were guilty for dumping waste into the forest.[25] The Tree Judge is voiced by Dave Willis, while the Stenographer is voiced by Matt Maiellaro and the others are voiced by Jim Fortier, Ned Hastings, Nick Ingkatanuwat, and Vishal Roney, while their Court-Appointed Shrub Lawyer assigned to the Aqua Teens is voiced by Jay Edwards. They were set on fire in "The Last One".[6]
- Turkatron (Matt Maiellaro) – A robotic turkey who was under the impression that he was actually the Cybernetic Ghost of Christmas Past From the Future, but he is actually a malfunctioning toy, and there are hundreds of him. He also likes to start stories with "In the year of 9595....".[26]
- Walter Melon (Chris Kattan) – A talking watermelon slice who is the father of the Aqua Teens. He wanted to use their saved income to build an exercise gym. He knew his plan would fail when he found out that they all live in the same house, which they rent. He is the creator of the Insane-o-flex and he produced three best-selling exercise videos which caused him to lose his job. First appeared in the movie. Not to be confused with the titular main character from the short-lived animated series of the same name that ran on the ABC Family Channel (now Freeform).
- Wayne "The Brain" McClain (Seth MacFarlane) – A super-smart alien that wears grass on his head to cover his huge brain. He appears in a single episode where he competes with the Aqua Teens in a game of bar trivia. After winning a couple of times, he reveals that everything was an illusion he created with his mind in order to be cool.[27]
- Willie Nelson (Tom Scharpling) – A monster resembling an onion with spider legs who lives in the Aqua Teens attic. At first Shake thought he was not scary so he tried to teach Willie to be scarier, until he learned that Willie kills people. He first appeared in "The Shaving".[28] He also appears in "One Hundred"[20] and in Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theaters when the roof is torn off by the Insane-O-Flex. Willie was named after the real-life country musician.
- The Voice (Isaac Hayes III) – A deep, menacing disembodied voice that tries to make people eat the "Broodwich", an evil sandwich that is made of only the most evil ingredients. The Voice threatens anyone of their doom should they finish eating the Broodwich.[29] Later appeared in "The Last One".[6]
- Zakk Wylde (Himself) – a legendary rocker whom Shake owes money to after they recorded a flop of a song. Rides on a chariot carried by unicorns and wields an axe-shaped guitar.
- Dr. Zord (John DiMaggio) – An evil rabbit that switched bodies with Master Shake after they both stared into each other's eyes while peeing in a wishing well. Dr. Zord was originally a rabbit Meatwad wanted, but Frylock would not let him have so it was given to him by Master Shake. Dr. Zord then knocked out Master Shake and switched bodies with him, but later died of a spider bite while still in Shake's body.

List of Aqua Teen Hunger Force characters
View on GrokipediaThe Aqua Teens
Master Shake
Master Shake is one of the four primary protagonists of the animated series Aqua Teen Hunger Force, depicted as an anthropomorphic milkshake residing in a white plastic cup topped with a pink straw and featuring large eyes on the lid.[5] Voiced by Dana Snyder throughout the series' run from 2000 to 2015, the character originated in a rejected Space Ghost Coast to Coast episode titled "Baffler Meal," where the Aqua Teens were pitched as crime-solvers under Shake's purported leadership.[6][7] Shake exhibits a personality marked by extreme narcissism, impulsivity, vanity, and instability, often positioning himself as the unchallenged leader of the household despite his laziness, manipulative tendencies, and frequent verbal and physical abuse directed at housemates Meatwad and neighbor Carl Brutananadilewski.[5] His self-centered schemes typically revolve around petty dominance or avoidance of responsibility, contributing to the show's chaotic interpersonal dynamics without genuine heroic intent.[7] Physically, Shake lacks legs and floats via levitation, occasionally demonstrating absurd abilities such as body inflation or expelling green goo from his straw in contrived scenarios, though these are inconsistent and tied to episodic absurdities rather than inherent powers.[7] His hot-tempered incompetence belies any claims of intellect or capability, frequently leading to self-inflicted failures.[5]Frylock
Frylock is an anthropomorphic fast-food item consisting of a floating order of french fries, depicted as three fries arranged in a box-like form with a face, gray goatee, orthodontic braces, and a gem embedded in the back of his head.[1] He possesses eye-based laser capabilities for telekinesis and combat.[8] Voiced by American actor Carey Means since the character's inception, Frylock's vocal performance emphasizes a calm, analytical demeanor.[9] [10]
The character debuted in the "Baffler Meal" segment of Space Ghost Coast to Coast, originally scripted in 1999 but aired on January 1, 2003, where the Aqua Teens were portrayed as fast-food mascots interrogating Space Ghost.[11] Within Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Frylock functions as the group's intellectual anchor and unofficial leader, relying on scientific reasoning and gadget invention to counter absurd threats and mitigate the disruptive behaviors of Master Shake and Meatwad.[12] His problem-solving approach contrasts sharply with the prevailing idiocy, often involving empirical analysis and defensive technologies like force fields or surveillance systems.[13] Frylock exhibits frustration with chaotic antics but demonstrates protective instincts, particularly toward Meatwad.[14]
Meatwad
Meatwad is one of the three anthropomorphic fast-food protagonists in Aqua Teen Hunger Force, depicted as a brown, spherical mass of uncooked ground meat approximately the size of a bowling ball. Voiced by series co-creator Dave Willis, the character embodies childlike innocence through his naive worldview, frequent expressions of simple joy, and susceptibility to manipulation, often falling victim to schemes devised by Master Shake due to his trusting nature.[15][16] His primary ability stems from his malleable composition, enabling shape-shifting into forms such as igloos, hot dogs, or animals, as demonstrated in episodes focused on his transformative experiments.[17] This trait facilitates physical comedy, as Meatwad withstands extreme deformation, dismemberment, or blunt force—reforming afterward with minimal consequence—highlighting his improbable durability amid repeated mistreatment. Despite his gullibility, occasional episodes reveal flashes of unexpected cleverness or resourcefulness, contrasting his usual vulnerability.[18] Meatwad debuted in the series pilot episode "Rabbot," which premiered on Cartoon Network on December 30, 2000, establishing his role in the core trio alongside Master Shake and Frylock.[19] His locomotion relies on rolling or hopping, often accumulating debris, which underscores his playful, unpretentious demeanor and penchant for low-stakes amusements like chasing laser pointers or improvising with household items.Human Associates

Carl Brutananadilewski is the primary human character and recurring neighbor to the Aqua Teens in the Adult Swim animated series Aqua Teen Hunger Force, which ran from 2000 to 2015. Voiced by series co-creator Dave Willis, he is portrayed as a balding, overweight, middle-aged man with a bushy mustache, unkempt appearance, and a thick New Jersey accent, often clad in a white tank top and shorts.[20][21] His characterization draws from crude, working-class archetypes, emphasizing laziness, vulgarity, and self-interest over communal harmony. Carl's traits include chronic selfishness, frequent profanity, and fixations on professional football, women, and avoiding responsibility, which frequently clash with the Aqua Teens' bizarre escapades next door. He resides in a modest suburban home adjacent to the teens' residence, reluctantly drawn into their chaos through shared property lines or pleas for help, only to suffer consequences like property damage, injury, or humiliation. For instance, in various episodes, his pool or hot tub becomes a site of destruction from the teens' negligence, amplifying his role as the voice of exasperated normalcy amid surreal absurdity.[22] This dynamic positions him as a foil to the anthropomorphic fast-food protagonists, highlighting human frustration with inexplicable neighbors. Introduced in the series pilot "Rabbot," which originally aired on December 30, 2000, as part of Space Ghost Coast to Coast's final episode before Aqua Teen's standalone debut, Carl establishes the template for human-victim interactions in the show's universe. He features prominently in crossovers within the Williams Street shared universe, such as appearances in Space Ghost Coast to Coast and Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!, underscoring his utility as a grounded everyman anchor. The character's disregard for continuity is evident in his multiple on-screen deaths—such as being crushed, exploded, or possessed—followed by unexplained revivals, aligning with the series' anti-narrative style that prioritizes episodic gags over logical progression.[23]Mad Scientists and Lab Creations
Dr. Weird
Dr. Weird is a mad scientist character in the Adult Swim animated series Aqua Teen Hunger Force, depicted as an eccentric inventor operating from a laboratory filled with bizarre contraptions and failed experiments. Voiced by animator and actor C. Martin Croker, who provided the role across multiple episodes from the show's 2000 debut, Dr. Weird embodies chaotic scientific ambition through bombastic monologues and non-sequitur demonstrations alongside his hapless assistant Steve.[24][25] In seasons 1 (2000–2001) and 2 (2002–2003), Dr. Weird hosted surreal cold openings at the start of nearly every episode, showcasing inventions that devolve into absurdity or catastrophe, such as robotic rabbits or telepathic devices run amok. These segments, lasting under a minute, set an initial tone of unhinged humor disconnected from the main plotlines involving the Aqua Teens, with Dr. Weird's declarations like "Behold!" punctuating his reveals before inevitable mishaps.[26][27] The character's minimal ties to protagonists Master Shake, Frylock, and Meatwad underscore his role as a stylistic precursor to the series' escalating randomness, influencing the early absurd aesthetic before the format shifted away from structured intros. Dr. Weird was largely retired after season 2, appearing sporadically thereafter, including a brief cold open in season 8 (2011) and a pivotal reveal in the 2007 theatrical film Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theaters as the unwitting creator of the Aqua Teens via a malfunctioning ray gun on October 20, 1988.[28]Steve
Steve serves as the dim-witted, subservient humanoid assistant to Dr. Weird, the mad scientist featured in the cold opening segments of early Aqua Teen Hunger Force episodes.[29] He is depicted with tall orange hair and a lanky frame, often functioning as both aide and unwitting test subject in Dr. Weird's bizarre experiments, which typically culminate in catastrophic failures and Steve's physical harm.[30] Voiced by animator and actor C. Martin Croker, who also provided Dr. Weird's voice, Steve's dialogue consists primarily of compliant affirmations like "Yes, Dr. Weird" amid bungled tasks and ignored warnings, amplifying the absurdity of the lab scenarios.[31] [25] These segments, confined to seasons 1 and 2 (2000–2003), showcase Steve's blind loyalty and incompetence as key elements of comic relief, with Dr. Weird frequently disregarding or endangering him without consequence.[32] Steve lacks independent storylines or crossovers with the main Aqua Teens cast, remaining tethered to Dr. Weird's domain to underscore the show's early, surreal humor through escalating mishaps and non-sequiturs.[33] Croker reprised the role in the 2007 film Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theaters, where Steve briefly references a wife, though this detail appears only in that context.[29] Following Croker's death in 2016, the characters have not returned in new productions.[29]Extraterrestrial Antagonists
The Mooninites
The Mooninites are a duo of pixelated, two-dimensional extraterrestrial antagonists from the Moon in Aqua Teen Hunger Force, characterized by their 8-bit video game sprite aesthetic and delusions of lunar superiority over Earthlings. Ignignokt, the taller green figure and self-proclaimed leader, is voiced by series co-creator Dave Willis, while Err, the shorter pink follower, is voiced by co-creator Matt Maiellaro.[34] The pair debuts in the season 1 episode "Revenge of the Mooninites," where they steal arcade prizes to acquire a belt granting minor powers, using it to challenge the Aqua Teens in absurd confrontations.[35] Ignignokt embodies egotistical arrogance, frequently deploying a handheld laser he boasts as a "Phase 4" weapon capable of advanced destruction, though its effectiveness is comically inconsistent and often backfires. Err, acting as the hyperactive subordinate, mirrors his partner's mischief but displays greater impulsivity and occasional cowardice under pressure, eagerly participating in taunts, scams, and petty invasions while deferring to Ignignokt's commands. Their interactions with humans and the Aqua Teens typically involve belittling Earth culture, attempting conquests via outdated technology, and exploiting situations for personal gain, such as cashing fraudulent checks or inciting chaos.[36][37] The Mooninites recur across multiple episodes in invasion-themed plots, including "Mayhem of the Mooninites" and "Remooned," where they befriend select Aqua Teens only to betray them through thievery and antagonism. Their cultural footprint extended to real-world events via a January 31, 2007, guerrilla marketing stunt by Turner Broadcasting, deploying battery-powered LED placards of Ignignokt extending a middle finger across Boston; authorities mistook these for bombs, prompting evacuations, highway closures, and a $2 million fine for the network.[38][39] In response, creators drafted a season 5 episode titled "Boston" tying the characters directly to the incident—depicting them in arrest scenarios mirroring the panic—but Adult Swim shelved it amid backlash, though it later leaked online.[40]The Plutonians
The Plutonians are a recurring pair of incompetent extraterrestrial invaders in Aqua Teen Hunger Force, comprising Oglethorpe, the self-proclaimed leader who devises elaborate but flawed schemes for Earth domination, and his subordinate Emory, who assists in their execution.[41][42] Oglethorpe is voiced by Andy Merrill, while Emory is voiced by Mike Schatz across 21 episodes.[43][44][45] The duo operates from a dilapidated spaceship, employing tactics like abduction and replication that consistently unravel due to their technical ineptitude and internal bickering.[41][42] Introduced in the season 1 episode "Space Conflict from Beyond Pluto," which aired on April 7, 2002, the Plutonians first beam up Frylock under false pretenses of interstellar diplomacy, only to reveal their conquest ambitions, which Master Shake thwarts through sheer obliviousness.[41][42] Their schemes escalate in subsequent appearances, such as "Bad Replicant" on November 10, 2002, where they kidnap Master Shake for cloning experiments to infiltrate Earth society, but the replicants malfunction catastrophically, leading to chaotic failures. These multi-episode arcs highlight their persistence despite repeated defeats, often intersecting with other antagonists like the Mooninites in crossover conflicts.[46] The Plutonians' angular, legless design and reliance on absurd technology underscore the show's satirical take on alien invasion tropes, with Oglethorpe's bombastic directives clashing against Emory's hesitant support, resulting in self-sabotage.[42][47] Their ongoing returns after each fiasco emphasize a cycle of overconfidence and humiliation, without resolution to their homeworld's status or permanent exile.[41]Monstrous and Supernatural Foes
MC Pee Pants
MC Pee Pants is a recurring antagonist in Aqua Teen Hunger Force, portrayed as a diminutive, diabolical rapper from Hell who wears a diaper, shower cap, and backwards baseball cap, often scheming through manipulative music and candy-fueled plots that culminate in his transformation into giant insectoid or demonic forms.[48] Voiced by rapper and voice actor MC Chris (Chris Ward), the character debuted in the first-season episode "MC Pee Pants," which aired on May 19, 2002, as part of a scheme parodying early 2000s teen rap sensations.[49] [48] In his debut, MC Pee Pants releases an album featuring the song "I Want Candy," addicting listeners like Meatwad and Carl to its repetitive hook and enclosed sweets, which he uses to harvest blood sugar for a drill aimed at breaching Hell and unleashing demons to staff a pyramid-scheme diet pill empire.[48] His incompetence leads to failure, transforming him into a massive spider-demon hybrid that rampages until defeated by the Aqua Teens.[48] The character recurs through reincarnation mechanics, resurrecting in altered guises such as Sir Loin—a steak-themed entity in "Super Sir Loin"—and the elderly, frail Little Brittle in the episode of the same name, where he attempts senile revenge from a nursing home. [50] Further appearances include the series finale "The Last One" (aired December 30, 2015), where he briefly allies with other foes, and the 2007 film Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theaters, reinforcing his motif of bungled, music-tied villainy tied to gluttony and infernal ambition. These iterations highlight MC Pee Pants' persistent failure despite escalating monstrous evolutions, often involving minion insects or hellish minions, underscoring themes of hubris in the show's surreal humor.Cybernetic Ghost of Christmas Past from the Future
The Cybernetic Ghost of Christmas Past from the Future is a robotic antagonist in the Adult Swim animated series Aqua Teen Hunger Force, portrayed as a malfunctioning android that assumes the role of a prophetic specter while espousing disjointed visions of interstellar elf civil wars spanning millennia.[51] Its design incorporates spider-like mechanical limbs and a dilapidated chassis, enabling erratic movements that underscore its defective programming.[52] The character debuted in the series' first season, episode 18, titled "Cybernetic Ghost of Christmas Past from the Future," which originally aired on December 29, 2002.[51] Voiced by co-creator Matt Maiellaro, the Ghost's dialogue consists of monotonous, looping monologues detailing fictional future histories, such as blue- versus green-skinned elves battling for control of a Dyson sphere-like structure constructed from Santa's workshop remnants thousands of years prior.[53] These rants invade the residences of protagonists Carl Brutananadilewski and the Aqua Teens, causing physical disruptions like flooding basements with green ooze symbolizing elf blood.[51] Maiellaro's performance, re-recorded for the 2004 DVD release with a tinny filter to enhance the robotic timbre, emphasizes the character's oblivious insistence on its fabricated prophecies despite evident malfunctions.[54] Recurring in select episodes, including season 7's "One Hundred," the Ghost perpetuates its narrative intrusions, often materializing unbidden to propagate the same elf conflict lore, thereby exemplifying the series' embrace of repetitive absurdity over linear progression.[55] Its limited but persistent role accentuates cybernetic unreliability as a comedic device, contrasting purported futuristic omniscience with tangible hardware failures, such as immobility when detached from power sources.[51] This portrayal avoids traditional ghostly intangibility, grounding the figure in mechanical causality where storytelling glitches stem from corrupted circuits rather than supernatural whim.Dr. Wongburger
Dr. Wongburger is a recurring antagonist in the Adult Swim animated series Aqua Teen Hunger Force, portrayed as an insane alien entity with fraudulent schemes often centered on bizarre commercial or scientific pretenses. Voiced by Tommy Blacha, the character embodies absurd villainy, frequently exploiting the protagonists for personal gain through outlandish plots that highlight incompetence and greed.[56][57] He debuted as Mr. Wongburger in the season 4 episode "Dickesode," which aired on November 5, 2006, where he is revealed as a giant anthropomorphic phallus originating from "Dick Planet," deploying testicle-like henchmen to target Carl Brutananadilewski in a violent prize scheme tied to a Wongburger promotion.[58] In later episodes, Dr. Wongburger's appearances emphasize his scheming nature and pseudoscientific delusions, such as in season 5's "Creature from Plaque Lagoon," where he orchestrates the theft of the Aqua Teens' teeth to construct a "Tooth Ship" for interstellar return, underscoring his predatory incompetence. He reemerges in season 7's "Hands on a Hamburger" (aired December 6, 2009), manipulating a burger-eating contest at a Wongburger chain that ensnares Meatwad and the others as unwitting pawns, while proclaiming his own "true identity" as a cheeseburger after "years of therapy" rejected by his parents—satirizing unsubstantiated identity claims and therapeutic resolutions devoid of empirical basis.[59][60] A stylized cameo occurs in the series' 100th episode, "One Hundred," aired May 2, 2010, reinforcing his role as a fleeting, opportunistic foe.[61] The character's arcs are brief and episodic, typically culminating in failure and escape, with no sustained development or redemption; his antics parody exploitative "cures" and profit-driven pseudoscience, as seen in his self-referential therapy anecdote that mocks causal disconnects between personal narrative and verifiable reality.[3] Dr. Wongburger appears exclusively in these four episodes across seasons 4 through 7, maintaining consistency as a profit-motivated predator who preys on vulnerabilities like Meatwad's gullibility without genuine therapeutic or scientific intent.[62]Boxy Brown
Boxy Brown is a minor recurring character in Aqua Teen Hunger Force, portrayed as a sentient cardboard box crudely modified by Meatwad into a blaxploitation parody figure, featuring a light brown box body, hand-drawn facial features including a mustache, and an attached afro wig.[3] Voiced by series co-creator Dave Willis, the character speaks in exaggerated urban slang, adopting a self-proclaimed title like "The Duke of New York, A-Number 1" as a nod to the 1981 film Escape from New York.[63][64] This design emphasizes the show's absurd humor, presenting Boxy as a tough-talking hustler involved in opportunistic schemes rather than a fully realized robot.[65] Boxy primarily aids Meatwad and Master Shake in low-stakes cons and repairs, dispensing crude, self-serving advice that often veers into betrayal for personal gain, as seen in his assistance with fixing Carl's wrecked car in the season 2 episode "Kidney Car," aired December 7, 2003.[64][66] In season 6's "Shake Like Me," he collaborates with Shake during a body-swap scheme, underscoring his hustler traits amid the episode's satirical take on identity.[67] Additional appearances include brief roles in season 3's "Carl," where he is babysat alongside other dolls, and cameos in later episodes like "Last Last One Forever and Ever," reflecting infrequent but memorable returns that amplify the series' gritty, unfiltered comedic style.[22][21]Markula
Markula is a recurring supernatural character in Aqua Teen Hunger Force, serving as the vampire landlord of the titular characters' residence and their neighbor Carl. Voiced by series co-creator Matt Maiellaro, he embodies a slovenly, opportunistic undead figure who prioritizes property management and rent collection over any moral considerations, often deploying vampiric powers to enforce his tenancy agreements.[68][69] Introduced in the season 7 episode "Robots Everywhere" (aired May 2, 2010), Markula reveals himself as the original owner of the Aqua Teen house during a robot uprising, vaporizing potential buyers and asserting dominion through teleportation and shape-shifting abilities. His 4040-year age underscores his ancient malice, as highlighted in the episode "Lordy Lordy! Look Who's 4040!" where celebrations devolve into typical series chaos.[70] Markula's physical traits include a hunchbacked silhouette, leathery green skin, and an affinity for spiders, enabling transformations into bat or arachnid forms to stalk or ensnare tenants.[71] Throughout his appearances, such as "Sirens" and the 2022 short "Markula the Slumlord," Markula antagonizes the protagonists by manipulating property deals—once entertaining offers from the Plutonians for a secret base—while vampirizing others to build unwitting compliance.[72][73] This portrayal satirizes exploitative real estate practices, escalating mundane landlord pettiness into supernatural threats, only for Markula's schemes to unravel due to the inherent incompetence and distractions plaguing the show's universe, such as Carl's complaints or alien interlopers.[74] His uncaring demeanor and bureaucratic grip on the property highlight the series' theme of petty evils persisting through absurd, unchecked escalation.Miscellaneous Recurring Figures
George Lowe
George Lowe, the American voice actor renowned for portraying Space Ghost in the Adult Swim shared universe, makes recurring cameo appearances in Aqua Teen Hunger Force as himself and in variant roles such as announcers, disc jockeys, and incidental figures like Jet Chicken or Bruno Sardine.[75][76] These meta-elements blur the line between the actor's real-world persona and the show's fictional realm, often manifesting as brief voiceovers or on-screen nods that reference his foundational role in the program's origins from Space Ghost Coast to Coast bumpers, where the Aqua Teens were first interviewed by Space Ghost. Notable instances include his portrayal of the Standards & Practices Announcer in the season 2 episode "Gee Whiz," aired December 5, 2004, where he delivers a satirical disclaimer overlaying the episode's content.[77] In the season 3 episode "Mail Order Bride," he voices a DJ facilitating a plot device involving Frylock's arranged marriage.[78] Additional credits encompass two episodes voicing Bruno Sardine, a minor antagonist, underscoring Lowe's versatility in supporting the series' chaotic, low-stakes absurdity without driving core narratives.[79] These appearances, spanning the original run from 2002 to 2015, function chiefly as easter eggs for attentive viewers, reinforcing the interconnected Adult Swim canon without substantive plot consequences, and highlighting Lowe's enduring ties to the franchise's experimental, boundary-pushing ethos derived from late-night talk show parody.[75]References
