Win Tickets to Aqua Teen Hunger Force Live at the Troc!
If Lucha Va Voom on Friday wasn’t enough of a reason to head over to the Trocadero this weekend, Saturday night they are hosting Aqua Teen Hunger Force Live. The show, which features ATHF co-creator Dave Willis, the voice of Meatwad and Carl, and voice actor/comedian Dana Snyder, the voice of Master Shake, looks to be a comedy variety show of epic proportions.
The 2+ hour all-ages show will feature rare and never before seen ATHF clips, live music from their latest album, Have Yourself A Meaty Little Christmas, along with skits featuring both the ATHF and Squidbillies characters. The show will also include Meatwad and Shake onstage (through the puppet wizardry of former Jim Henson designer and fabricator James Wojtal), as well as a Granny puppet from Willis’ redneck squidriffic show.
I’m a huge fan of Aqua Teen Hunger Force and can’t wait to see this. And in true Geekadelphia fashion, we have some free tickets to giveaway to this event, thanks to our friends at the Troc.
All you have to do for a chance to win one of 3 pairs of tickets to the show, is comment with your favorite ATHF character and why. The 3 most entertaining entries will win. If you don’t want to take a chance on missing this show, get your tickets here.
See ya there!
Carl Brutananadilewski is by far my favorite character because there is nothing more important than a supportive friend. Carl is a kind hearted, professional go getter with a zest for life. His compassion for his neighbors and friends can only be over shadowed by his overwhelming generosity as witnessed time and time again as he selflessly allows his good friends, the Aqua Teen Hunger Force, make use of his house, pool, and car. As I’m sure Carl holds a special place in every viewers heart, he isn’t only my favorite character, he’s my role model.
The greatest character in ATHF history is MC Pee Pants, because if he were real, I would comment here to win a free pair of tickets to his show.
And he wears a diaper.
Definitely Oglethorpe because as an alien he recognizes good quality sci-fi films like “Fargate” from the makers of “Findependence Day.” And besides, everyone knows that Plutonians are just so much cooler than Mooninites.
One of my favorite Aqua Teen Episodes is Bus of the Undead featuring Mothmonsterman and the epic heartwarming film; Assisted Living Dracula. I now realize that I must leave the light on my front porch on at all times, unless I crave the misfortune of having a haunted bus parked in front of my home for all of eternity. A terrible haunted bus that lays on its horn all night long distracting me from heart-warming films that depict Dracula at his most fragile time in his afterlife.
This episode also reminds me of my childhood with the following quotes:
“I put two and two together, and decided that you’re pissing me off.” –My mother
“It’s not Dracula, it’s just a damn school bus!” –My Kindergarten teacher
“Well… Dracula called, and he’s coming tonight for you, and I said okay.” –My father
Ol’ Drippy, the mold guy. Because he’s sort of a food item, like they are, but, he’s a kind-hearted limp of junk. And, his voice reminds me of the late, great Phil Hartman.
“Got Villain?”
While I’m tempted to say MC Pee Pants/Sir Loin/Little Brittle, I’ll have to go with Handbanana.
“Tonight……you”
Boxy Brown.
The character is funny, that’s for sure. But it’s the deep commentary on American cinema that puts him over the top. Yes, he’s a smooth talking badass with a ‘fro, and some swanky music, but at the end of the day he is barely more than a cardboard cutout. He is a box, decorated simply and presented to the audience. This obvious commentary on the blaxploitation film genre seems to come decades late, but deeper inspection shows his relevance.
He’s not just a piece of cardboard, he’s a box. Boxes are traditionally thought of as outlets of incredible imagination and potential. CHildren play in them, they can house mysteries or whatever you can desire. They can provoke thought or be used for hundreds of practical purposes. However, Boxy Brown is empty. He’s decorated and flashy, but ultimately empty. This is relevant to modern cinema by representing the negative effect the blaxploitation films have had, retarding progress and encouraging characters that could be truly three-dimensional to merely be little more than window dressing. When was the last time you saw a film with a strong African American character that was not a stereotype or had any true characterization? I applaud the ATHF crew for managing a character with such depth while still providing the rapid-fire hundred jokes a second we’ve come to expect.
… plus he’s a box with a ‘fro. He’s one bad mutha-
@Jimmy: Boxy Brown is also one of my favorites. I love love love the episode where Carl babysits.
But, pretty much, any friend of Meatwad is a friend of mine. Except Handbanana.
The Cybernetic Ghost of Christmas Past from the Future. Duhviously.
He’s every robopocalypse cliche combined with every holiday cliche ever. As someone who desperately fears animatronic Santa Clauses, this speaks to me at a very primal level.
The Universal Remonster is one of the best one-off characters. His name is a great, and he’s a brilliantly simple concept.
He’s a remote, which means you don’t have to get up to change the channel, but even better, he’s a monster that takes orders, so you don’t even have to press any buttons.
Plus, he can’t be killed unless you stab him in the heart with the ancient bone saber of Zumakalis. Or in the lungs. Or with anything sharp laying around the house. Or a pillow. Or take out his batteries. Yea, that works.
His best feature, though, is the pretzel beam. How could you not want one of those?

No love for the Mooninites? Jesus, do none of people have childhoods? They’re elitist Atari sprites… it’s what I like to think would have happened it a Space Invaders machine in a porno shop was struck by lightning.
… because we all know lightning can do anything.
