Dancing Is Forbidden: An Aqua Teen Hunger Force Exploration

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.

Matthew I. Jenkins designed our beloved Carl and Master Shake... which is kind of funny considering Carl hates Shake. Today on the podcast we're talking with Matt, the man behind so many of our favorite characters. Matt's telling us all about the early years of the Atlanta animation industry (AKA the birthing grounds of Adult Swim), working side-by-side with the late great C. Martin Croker, and designing characters for Dave Willis & Matt Maiellaro on Aqua Teen. Other topics discussed include getting addicted to Clash Royale, the business of art, the (newfound) never-ending nature of Star Wars, and not getting fired from The Venture Bros. • Matt Jenkins on Instagram -- buy an original ATHF production cell OR commission him: https://www.instagram.com/matthewijenkins/ • Watch Pastacolypse for FREE: https://tubitv.com/movies/100003771/pastacolypse • Watch Yenor for FREE: https://www.adultswim.com/videos/specials/yenor-pilot ♫ The Beatles - Helter Skelter: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uk1hCSA89fc ♫ Phish - You Enjoy Myself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CsvlZacyByQ ★ Support The Show + Get Extra Episodes • Patreon: patreon.com/dancingisforbidden ★ Amazon Affiliate Links - Support The Podcast At No Extra Cost! • Aqua Teen Forever Plantasm 4K: https://amzn.to/3Svy2ea • Aqua Teen Forever Plantasm BluRay: https://amzn.to/3dLcKKS • Aqua Teen Forever Plantasm Digital: https://amzn.to/3t8cqtv • Baffler Meal 20 Disc DVD Box Set: https://amzn.to/3fmznWf Timestamps: [00:00:00] Intro [00:04:30] Working on Plantasm [00:07:41] Matt's origin story [00:15:35] Early years in Atlanta animation [00:20:37] Working with C.

Meatwad's a workin' man in this episode... and work sucks. Well, like, it's not the job itself, ya know, but really the bosses. He doesn't mind dancing on the side of the road, it's the whole "remove your friend's brain" thing that makes him wanna quit. We've all been there. It's the final episode of Season 4 and we're getting our car(l)s washed with all sorts of ATHF factoids! Bob Pettitt gives us the full-res vending machines so we can see what the hell they say, Dave Willis is cluing us in on the inspiration for Carl Brain's voice, and comments from forums past give us insight into the storied history of this great Aqua Teen episode. Other topics discussed include Fergie and Will. I. Am leaving the other (nameless) peas in the pod & making their own smash hit album, getting spammed with Indeed job notifications, and getting credit for Jim Fortier's work.

If you found out you suddenly had a son, how would you handle the situation? If you answered "force him to become the best athlete of all time or else kill myself," you're clearly in the Master Shake school of thought. In this iconic Aqua Teen episode Patton Oswalt returns as yet another memorable character, proving age has nothing to do with innocence. We dive into Carl's shiny new black shotgun, Shake's actually correct baby handling advice, and why Aqua Teen's grounded writing approach keeps the show relatable despite being crazy as hell. Other topics discussed include stupid liquor laws, Willy Smith being the best actor of all time forever (for real!), and Incubus' Xavier Renegade Angel-esque album naming conventions.

Would you put a giant tower over your house for 40 yorlocks? Cuz Carl sure did. In a return to the classic Aqua Teen formula, Frylock is solving the case of the menacing antenna... sort of. Kinda. Not really. We're diving into George Lowe's glorious 2 minutes in this episode, gushing over Mike Judge, and marvelling at the framing device on this episode. Other topics discussed include projection TVs, Jay-Z's short lived retirement, and the influence of Beavis and Butthead on Aqua Teen.

Huddle up, running crew! We’re going long and deep into the end zone this week with a full-on blitz about Bart Oates, the gridiron great… and the Aqua Teen episode, too! Dave Willis, Bob Pettitt, and Jay Wade Edwards are bringing their A-game (via e-mail) to the podcast, tackling this story-heavy episode of ATHF like a quarterback sack. We’re going to break down the play-by-play of the working title of this episode, an audible that’s easy to miss if you’re not listening for the snap count-- and don’t forget about the background artwork that didn’t quite make it past the goal line. Other topics on the scrimmage line include how other games are pulling an offsides by ripping off Garry’s Mod, some Hail Mary attempts to deal with your rap set being cut 15 minutes short, and in a matchup as mismatched as a linebacker versus a kicker, we’re comparing Carl and Maya Angelou. So strap on your helmets and cinch up your chinstraps, because we’re about to kick off this discussion. Hut, hut, hike!

Open your lungs and inhale the most premium moonajuana money can buy... from the dump. It was free, but you can't put a price tag on the unbeatable high you will attain. Better yet, while you're floating away on a consciousness of bliss, 2D aliens from space will rid you of your worldly possessions. You just can't beat that convenience. We're diving into Moonajuana, the last proper Mooninites episode. Is this yet another successful entry in the Mooninites saga? Man, I'm too high on moony jane, I couldn't tell ya. Other topics discussed include Tenacious D in the Pick of Destiny, Now That's What I Call Music's dwindling variety, and how Assy McGee gets a bad wrap.

Bittersweet news-- the podcast is moving from weekly to every-other-week. It's not what I wanted to happen but it makes the most sense. This will allow me to consistently do episode deep dives, which are the most popular episode type the podcast does. We'll still do interviews too, they'll come out whenever they're ready (probably first on the Patreon). Maybe one day we can go back to weekly if the Patreon does well enough. That would be badass! $5+ Patrons can read more about it here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/major-podcast-97103491

Dan at Grim Reaper Gutters won't leave until he makes a sale... just like I can't leave til I tell you all about this episode. The ATHF clip-show parody turned dadaist nonsense, this is a supremely unique episode. Meatwad and Shake reminisce... Frylock made a movie... Tera Patrick enjoys hanging out with the Aqua Teens... and Carl dies but I mean, that always happens. Are you surprised? We're also critiquing Frylock's film to see how much he actually saved Shake and Meatwad's asses. Other topics discussed include the Wii coming out in 2006, how Tera Patrick can save you from a corndog, and how talking food products convey the human experience better than most other shows.

There's only one way to combat global warming... eating your boogers. If you ain't eatin' them sticky things, don't dare listen to this podcast. Today we're covering the VFX overloaded Global Grilling, getting tons of great behind-the-scenes info from ATHF animators Joshua Mullinax and Nathan Churney! We're also getting spoiled by art director Bob Pettitt with a belated XXXmas gift-- the asset list provided to Bob back in 2006 detailing the items he needed to make for the episode! Eat some cheese, lick that door knob, and grab that dirty toilet seat cuz this is a hot one! Other topics discussed include doing a voice on the new season of Aqua Teen, Jackie Chan encroaching on George Foreman's territory, and what the heck SPF means.

I done messed up and put out too many episodes in December, so there's no episode this week. However, I was on The Swimcast where we talked all about Aqua Teen (and Dancing Is Forbidden) so give that a listen if you're jonesin' for a fix https://adultswimcentral.com/2024/01/02/the-swimcast-185-ringing-in-the-new-year-with-ronnie/

Happy New Year! Today's rerun is S2E13 Revenge of the Trees. It's a good'un! Original Show Notes: Master Shake is in some serious legal trouble... in the woods. Carl is being used as a human Post-It note. Frylock tries to work within the system to save his friends, but quickly realizes the system is stupid. Giving us more voice actors than we've ever had before, this multifaceted episode teaches us one thing: Trees are dumb as hell. Other topics discussed include Outkast's Speakerboxxx/The Love Below, trees mysteriously appearing, and used oil disposal methods.

Merry Christmas! ...or should I say, Merry Triple XMas!!! I'm giving ya the FULL part 1 coverage of Have Yourself a Meaty Little Christmas, Aqua Teen's 2009 Christmas! This podcast episode originally came out in 2022 and is just a small taste of what's over on the Patreon. To hear the BRAND NEW part 2 coverage, and an ass load of other exclusive ATHF/adult swim deep dives, sign up at the $5 level at patreon.com/dancingisforbidden "Ronnie's virgin ears become immaculately conceptivized by Have Yourself A Meaty Little Christmas. We talk about the origins of the parodied songs, break down baby Jesus's gifts, and José Feliciano's newfound status of GPILF."

If you don't know who Carey Means is, you're listening to the wrong podcast! We're joined by none other than Frylock's voice actor-- Aqua Teen's voice of reason as well as leading man of Aqua Teen Forever Plantasm. Carey regales us with one great story after another, including why Aqua Teen has endured for over 20 years, working conventions as a voice actor, and what it was like playing Thundercleese on Brak Show. Other topics discussed include the two times Carey was asked to be a pimp, country grammar, the Adult Swim Booze Cruise, and voicing on a softcore hentai.

Nathan Churney and Joshua Mullinax know how to get the Aqua Teens moving like none other... literally! Today we're joined by these critical ATHF animators who sacrificed everything (and then some!) to create the brilliant show we love today. Well maybe not everything, but they definitely worked their asses off, ya dig? Having touched damn near every bit of ATHF content from S02E01's Super Birthday Snake all the way thru S12E05's Anubis, these fellas are sharing their 20 years of Aqua Teen experience right here, right now... or whenever you listen to this. We'll wait. We're getting into the impact Matt Maiellaro and Dave Willis had on the animation process, Nate and Josh's experience writing on an episode of Aqua Teen, and how great season 3 of Twin Peaks is. • Nathan Churney's 2017 Demo Reel: https://vimeo.com/233084780 • Joshua Mullinax's site: http://joshuamullinax.com/ ♫ Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster - Celebrate Your Mother: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20CCTpU_Mdg&ab_channel=migzav ♫ Caroline Polachek - Welcome To My Island: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxgcz_6GKX0&ab_channel=CarolinePolachek ♫ Refused - New Noise: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NkAe30aEG5c&ab_channel=EpitaphRecords ♫ Ice Choir - Designs in Rhythm: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qKDBNrwR3_o&ab_channel=IceChoir ★ Support The Show + Get Extra Episodes • Patreon: patreon.com/dancingisforbidden ★ Amazon Affiliate Links - Support The Podcast At No Extra Cost! • Aqua Teen Forever Plantasm 4K: https://amzn.to/3Svy2ea • Aqua Teen Forever Plantasm BluRay: https://amzn.to/3dLcKKS • Aqua Teen Forever Plantasm Digital: https://amzn.to/3t8cqtv • Baffler Meal 20 Disc DVD Box Set: https://amzn.to/3fmznWf Timestamps: (hey I made some edits to the episode after writing these out so they won't be exact, I'll fix 'em when I can.

It's time to party party party while we talk about Aqua Teen's most depressing episode! Our heartstrings are thoroughly shredded while Frylock and co grapple with his newfound illness... yeah Shake dies like three times in the episode but that's besides the point. We're getting into Dave Willis' biggest regret on this episode, behind the scenes info on Matt Maiellaro's live action performance, going over Aqua Teen's rich history with bee attacks, and so much more! Other topics discussed include the new Aqua Teen Pop-tarts commercial, the cultural sensation of Borat (very nice!), and grappling with a band you like hitting the ultra mainstream while in middle school. • I DID A VOICE ON AQUA TEEN (and I’m telling you all about it!): https://www.dancingisforbidden.com/e/i-did-a-voice-on-aqua-teen/ • Most Recent Matt & Dave YouTube Interviews: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=matt+maiellaro&sp=CAI%253D • Geek Vibes Nation Matt & Dave Interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pymSBFgkRCw • Radio Labyrinth Matt & Dave Interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J5OxpiszDq0 • Aqua Teen Hunger Force | Pop-Tarts [ad]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utnSIDoNftk ♫ Diddy [feat.

Season 12 of ATHF is debuting tonight, and IMMEDIATELY after the episodes air on Adult Swim, I'll be doing a live show with Tom Cruise discussing them! Tune in on this feed if you don't have tickets!

(This is a Patreon sample! Subscribe at the $5 tier to gain access to the full episode + all bonus content!) This week we’ve got a podcast for your hair, and your brain! We’re preemptively (I know this big word thanks to chambraigne’s patented magical knowledge crystal infusion system) talking about Chambraigne, a SGC2C episode that spawned Season 4 Aqua Teen villains Carl Brain and Carl Jr.! This episode also marked Dave Willis’ first big voice role on television, so put that in your brain and smoke it. Aqua Teen impact aside, Chambraigne is a top-tier episode of Space Ghost– you’ll believe every word that I just said, because it's exactly what you wanted to hear. ★ Support The Show + Get Extra Episodes • Patreon: patreon.com/dancingisforbidden

Everything is not as it seems in this Aqua Donk... except for what Handbanana does to Carl, that is very real. Carl takes 16 years to refine his plan of attack while also successfully pulling off the acting role of a life time. We don't often see Carl win, but when he does, you'll be screaming for vengeance!
