Dancing Is Forbidden: An Aqua Teen Hunger Force Exploration

If I had a time machine, I'd go right back to the start of this recording session just to experience it again. Joining us is "Time Machine" editor Dave Hughes, one of the last remaining original employees at Adult Swim. When he isn't curating Adult Swim Smalls, producing the instant classic Haha, You Clowns, or running the long-standing Off the Air, Dave is building a legendary resume that includes Beavis and Butt-Head, Celebrity Deathmatch, and Space Ghost Coast to Coast. I bet if he had a time machine, he'd go back and do something like invest in Apple in the 90's. But not me, man. Not me. Dave also gave me a rough cut of "Time Machine", which I then blab to you about. Other topics discussed include the limited - yet impactful - vocabulary of calculators, the forgotten history of MTV's groundbreaking animation, and why Bret Michaels is gonna sue my ass back to the stone ages. Talk about a time machine!

Today on the podcast we're joined by four certified* Aqua Teen legends: Matt Maiellaro, Dana Snyder, Jay Wade Edwards, and John Brestan. Without these guys, Aqua Teen would suck ass - and this podcast episode would be a lot lonelier. In this buffet of an episode, we're talking about the dead tech that Aqua Teen was founded on, adult swim pilots that never got finished, standards and practices being angry about Spacecataz, and why none of us are opening up Al Roker's cookbook. I mean, come on. How good could it be? Anyways, make like Jeff Goldblum and get as close as possible to being a fly on the wall at adult swim. *Legend status certified by the Dancing Is Forbidden Committee in Aqua Teen Excellence and Legacy Foundation R E F E R E N C E S • Stomp!

Touch your base with Ronnie's as he gives you fast and hard updates about the next month of the podcast. If you're one of them reader-types, here's the gist of it: Time Machine episode postponed to the first Monday of February, a mishmash hangout episode with Dana Snyder & Matt Maiellaro & Jay Edwards & John Brestan will go up in its place. I'm also working on an episode commemorating Aqua Teen's 25 year anniversary which will hopefully be up at some point in January.

Don't try and get any sort of nest egg going, because all it'll do is get your teeth knocked out. That's the lesson I've learned from this episode. Aqua Teen art director and character designer Todd Redner joins the show to give us invaluable information behind the creation of Creature from Plaque Lagoon — he'll trade one fact for every tooth you'll offer him. We're talkin' Tooth Fairy lore, Todd seeing his 2D characters in 3D on Zombie Ninja Pro-Am, and making Wongburger — oops, sorry; Chatterman — in his new tooth form. Other topics discussed include how real life doesn't always look real in art, corporations only wanting to make cartoons for as cheap as possible, and getting in trouble with your mom for posting cartoon wieners on your blog. I also think I figured out who is actually voicing Wongburger, but.... I just don't know anymore, man.

Master Shake's got himself a chick magnet... but it doesn't work the way he expected. Like, in a big way. Voice of Master Shake, Dana Snyder, joins the podcast to talk about this great Season 6 episode! Dana is weighing in on why Shake is such a popular character, whether or not he was nervous to voice Shake for the very first time, and Dana gives Shake some advice on how to actually get chicks. Other topics discussed include Dana's craftiness, what ever happened to Matt Maiellaro's daughter, and adult swim banners fit for a king's castle. Dana also has an exciting announcement for Dancing Is Forbidden! Whoa!

She Creature reminds us of life's greatest truths: never clean your pool, never cross the mob, and definitely don't go messing around with no mermaids. Adult Swim legends John Brestan & Lear Bunda - the original spec writers behind this episode - join the pod to wade through Aqua Teen's most pool-centric adventure yet. Writing bumps, thrown scripts, pool-turned-hot-tub-guy-dads, caught wangers, mispronouncing conch all your life — this one is fun for the whole family! ...assuming your family is millions of mermaid eggs. Which, by the way, I know it totally is.

Shake Like Me was banned from DVD and TV, but not from the Dancing Is Forbidden podcast... but maybe it should have been. Ronnie attempts to cover the notorious episode, and it goes exactly as well as you’d expect. Craigslist guests derail the show, a Kentucky mayoral candidate demands beer money, British “musicians” try to take over the show, and somewhere in there we actually talk about Aqua Teen Hunger Force. Maybe. Sort of.

If you had 12 (or 3, whatever) wishes, what would you use them on? Well it doesn't matter, either way you're turning invisible. In today's episode, we're joined by ATHF co-creator — and, unknown to him, voice of Gene Eugene — Matt Maiellaro to talk all about this animation-less episode where Shake tries to make a movie, Carl needs to see women use the restroom, Meatwad wants to be Zack and/or Cody, and Frylock attempts to make an invisibility vaccine. None of that stuff actually ends up happening, which is why this show rules. Matt and Ronnie (that's me btw) make an announcement that will change animation history for centuries to come, Nick Gibbons pops in to tells us the origin of Gene E., Bob Pettitt owns up to writing what is perhaps the best single page script of all time, and Brainrot snorts podcast episodes... which by the way, is totally illegal.

This week the heavens will open up and we shall drink from the silver cup for Dancing Is Forbidden's 4th anniversary! Ronnie reflects on the journey so far and unveileth a shift in format—moving from hyper-edited solo deep dives to a more conversational approach. He also answereth questions from the listening faithful, both written and spoken. Topics covered: • A new format for the episodes ahead • Dancing Is Forbidden moving to a (hopefully temporarily) monthly format • The end of the pop culture deep dive (thanks Spotify!) • How opinions on Aqua Teen episodes have changed over time • Most-played CD when Ronnie was a dumbass kid • Listener questions from Cup on Drugs, Beanie Man, Brain Rot, and MORE! ⭐ Support the Show & Get Bonus Episodes: dancingisforbidden.com/support/ 🛒 Aqua Teen on Amazon (Affiliate Links - Take Money From Jeff Bezos & Give It To ME!): • Aqua Teen Forever: Plantasm (4K): https://amzn.to/3Svy2ea • Aqua Teen Forever: Plantasm (Blu-ray): https://amzn.to/3dLcKKS • Aqua Teen Forever: Plantasm (Digital): https://amzn.to/3t8cqtv • Baffler Meal 20-Disc DVD Box Set: https://amzn.to/3fmznWf 🌐 Website: dancingisforbidden.com 📞 Leave a voice message: dancingisforbidden.com/voicemail/ 💬 Supporter Only Discord: discord.gg/MNCJthhaEE 📸 Instagram:@AquaTeenPod 📧 Email: Hello@DancingIsForbidden.com 📺 Video YouTube Channel: youtube.com/@dancingisforbidden 🎧 Audio YouTube Channel: youtube.com/@AquaTeenPod 🎮 Twitch: twitch.tv/ronnieneeley

Next week marks the 4-year anniversary of the podcast, and to celebrate before covering Season 6 of ATHF, we’re doing a special listener Q&A episode! Got a question about the show, the pod, Aqua Teen, or anything else? I want to hear from you! 💬 Submit your questions here: – Send a voice message: https://www.dancingisforbidden.com/voicemail/ – Shoot me an email: Hello@DancingIsForbidden.com – Instagram Story (Monday the 21st only): https://www.instagram.com/aquateenpod/ Whether it’s silly, serious, or somewhere in between, I’d love to include it in the episode. Deadline is coming up soon—get those questions in!

Hey, it’s Ronnie. I’m switching Dancing Is Forbidden to a new podcast host. Ideally, nothing changes on your end. You should keep getting new episodes like normal. But if this ends up being the last episode you see from me in your feed... something went wrong. The podcast did not end! If that happens, here’s what to do: Search for "Dancing Is Forbidden" in your podcast app again. The new feed should show up—just resubscribe. Or check dancingisforbidden.com for updates and the latest episodes. Thanks for sticking with the show! Hopefully, you won’t even notice the switch.

Matt Maiellaro (co-creator of Aqua Teen Hunger Force, 12 Oz Mouse, Perfect Hair Forever, and writer on Space Ghost Coast to Coast) and I are going LIVE on Instagram this Thursday, June 19th at 7PM Eastern! Join us at @AquaTeenPod for fun, stories, and whatever else happens when Matt shows up— LIVE, over the internet!

I started a King of the Hill podcast with my favorite podcaster, Rob Couch, and I'm sharing our first episode with you! There are two more episodes up right now, find us over at https://www.yeppodcast.com/ Doing Yep has been a lot of fun and I'm super proud of how it's turning out! If you like King of the Hill—or if you've been meaning to start watching it—I hope you give this dang old podcast a chance, man. Yep. ----more---- In the first ever episode of King of the Hill, Bobby gets a black eye and Hank yells at the Mega-Lo-Mart, so a social worker comes around thinking Hank beats his boy. Boomhauer rambles about dang old something, man. Dale’s son looks like he might be someone else’s son. Luanne’s a better truck mechanic than the guys. And Bobby ain’t right…but Hank loves him, anyway. Here on Yep, we talk about how it all started in January 1997, back when Ronnie’s favorite band, The Smashing Pumpkins, had just followed a double album with a box set of 5 EPs, Rob thought Arlen might have been a real town, and Mike Judge and Greg Daniels created one of the best shows of all time. 🌐 Website: yeppodcast.com — Contact us, support the show, sign up for our newsletter, leave a voice message, and more. 🎧 Support the show: yeppodcast.supercast.com — Get bonus content and help us keep the propane flowing. 📰 Newsletter: yeppodcast.com/newsletter — The Yep Bystander is our free companion newsletter, with extra insights, corrections, updates, and whatever else didn’t fit in the pod. 📸 Yep on Instagram: @kothpod

Season 5 of ATHF is a contentious one. Either you love it or you hate it. Or maybe you think it's okay. Or you just, like, sorta like it. Look, I don't know your life story -- but what I DO know is Season 5 is a hell of a lot better than I was expecting it to be. While the season got my panties in a bunch back in 2008, it put a big ol' smile on my face while covering it for the podcast. And also I don't wear panties anymore. Commando, baby! Today we're talking about the season as a whole & spending some time dwelling on what it brought to the world of Aqua Teen. I'll also tell you my favorite episodes & villains from the season, because that's certainly something that you ever wanted to know and will help your life even one bit. We're also looking at the year the season was birthed out during - 2008 - figuring out what the heck happened back then. Believe it or not, nobody actually knows except for me, because I was there, man. From my hot movie takes that will most definitely get me at least one hate mail (I'm sort of like a modern day Joker, maybe. Probably not. I'm more of an Alfred type.), to the tunes of the time (and how Chris Martin ruled the world), to the video games (you ever heard of a Wii?)-- this podcast episode has it all! Well, if "it all" means these very specific things that I'm talking about on the podcast.
