List of episodes

The fourth season of the animated television series, Aqua Teen Hunger Force originally aired in the United States on Cartoon Network's late night programming block, Adult Swim. Season four started on November 20, 2005 with "Dirtfoot" and ended with "Carl Wash" on December 21, 2006. Aqua Teen Hunger Force is about the surreal adventures and antics of three anthropomorphic fast food items: Master Shake, Frylock, and Meatwad, who live together as roommates and frequently interact with their human next-door neighbor, Carl Brutananadilewski in a suburban neighborhood in South New Jersey. In May 2015, this season became available on Hulu Plus.

This is the final season to air before the 2007 release Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theaters, a feature-length film based on the series. Episodes in season four were written and directed by Dave Willis and Matt Maiellaro. Almost every episode in this season features a special guest appearance, which continues a practice used in past seasons. During the airing of this season drummer Terence Yerves filed a lawsuit against Schoolly D and Cartoon Network, over claims that he had played a major role in writing the Aqua Teen Hunger Force theme song. This season has been made available on DVD, and other forms of home media, including on demand streaming.

Production

Every episode in this season was written and directed by series creators Dave Willis and Matt Maiellaro, who have both written and directed every episode of the series. All episodes originally aired in the United States on Cartoon Network's late night programming block, Adult Swim. This season was one of the original seasons branded under the Aqua Teen Hunger Force title before Willis and Maiellaro started using a different alternative title for each season in 2011.[1] As with most seasons, several episodes originally aired outside of their production order.

Season four features "Deleted Scenes", the first 22-minute episode, which features several references to the feature-length film Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theaters, which aired on December 18, 2005, years prior to the film's debut. This season also features "Grim Reaper Gutters,” which is the first clip-show for Aqua Teen Hunger Force; as well as the show's first TV-MA-rated episode ("Dickesode") and the first appearances of Dr. Wongburger and Handbanana.

Many episodes in season four were made during the late production of the Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theaters and were spaced out more than any other season. Season four is the final season to air before the movie, the final season produced in 4:3 standard definition, and the final season to air when Jim Samples was running Cartoon Network (he resigned following the 2007 Boston Bomb Scare, when the series got national attention).

Lawsuit

During the airing of the fourth season in November 2006 Schoolly D and Cartoon Network were sued over the Aqua Teen Hunger Force theme music. A drummer by the name of Terence Yerves (who, as Terry Yerves, was credited with "live drums" for the theme in the series' end credits) claimed he had also written the theme music alongside Schoolly D in 1999 while working at the Meat Locker Studio. Yerves was aware the song would be used for a television series but did not approve of it being used for Aqua Teen Hunger Force. However, he did not file the copyright to the Library Of Congress until May 2006, several years after the series started airing in 2001. In the lawsuit Yerves demanded he receive $150,000 for every time the series was aired after the lawsuit was filled, he also demanded that all existing copies of the series' DVDs be impounded and for Aqua Teen Hunger Force to cease broadcast.[2] The case settled in May, 2007. No information as to settlement terms is publicly available.[3]

Frylock becomes angry when he sees that the Aqua Teens have an electric bill for $2,600, and discovers that Shake caused the high fee by charging an anthropomorphic over-sized cell phone that he got from Boost Mobile (now a subsidiary of Dish Network, formerly EchoStar) in exchange for advertising the company, which he does whenever the camera is on him. Shake says that Josh threatens to castrate him if he loses the phone after Frylock tries to get rid of it, so he devises a smarter plan to destroy it.

Guest appearances: Killer Mike and Schoolly D as the Boost Mobile phones.

In this episode, Shake and Meatwad show some scenes from Untitled Master Shake Project. Shake claims that the movie has no plot, and that viewers were disgusted when they saw it at the Mall Of America. Aqua Teens and Carl go to the Aqua Teens house, where Carl has recovered. He tells them that he mentally lost at least 2 days. Meatwad pulls the broom out of his ass quickly. After the movie ends, Carl is confused as to why the broom's still in his ass when he saw that Meatwad pulled it out. Shake dodges the question completely.

Carl and the Aqua Teens partake in a restaurant's promotion called "Rip-n-Win," which consists of ripping the bottom of fountain drink cups for a prize. While Shake and Meatwad both get a coupon for Wasabi Fries, Carl's prize reads "Tonight, you will get your dick ripped off.” The "prize" is said to be real from a TV commercial via disclaimer, and with the restaurant employees tracking down the "winner," the Aqua Teens must protect Carl by any means necessary, only to discover that Mr. Wongburger orchestrated the entire plan, having gathered mountains of penises to build a rocket ship just to get back to his home planet.

Frylock genetically engineers a dog for Meatwad using the "Make Your Own Dog 1.0" software with Carl's pool, which Master Shake accidentally activates by flopping his hand in the pool, resulting in a hand-shaped dog who Meatwad names "Handbanana.” Unbeknownst to the Aqua Teens, Handbanana can speak, which only Carl can hear. The engineered pet is interested in raping Carl, and after a failed attempt to convince the Aqua Teens of their dog's language and violations, Carl must figure out how to deal with Handbanana himself.

Later in Carl's room, Bart Oates appears, much to Carl's excitement. Carl recounts his stats and the many games of Oates' he watched, then reveals how he had hoped Oates would become injured after he transferred to the 49ers.

The duo are frustrated at their lack of progress, with Shake stating he's out of snot to produce any more mucus. After a failed attempt to get sick and Frylock failing to help with cost-efficient methods, Shake buys the Char-Nobyl 6000, an illegally imported, extremely powerful barbecue grill with a nuclear core made of radioactive waste to speed up the build of Mucus Man. However, after turning it on, the core activates and the grill cannot be turned off safely, and disasters strike New Jersey as the world heats up.

Master Shake and Meatwad sitting around, reminiscing about past events. They eventually stray off topic into more extravagant tales, like how Hugh Hefner invited Shake to the Playboy mansion, concerned on how there were too few guys. Frylock reminds the two of how many times he's saved their lives, accompanied by a clip montage mostly of him doing just that from past episodes accompanied by Andrew W.K.'s song from the episode "Party All the Time". Shake tries to counter this by talking about how he picked out Frylock's computer for him, but fails to mention how he ran off to Mexico when the bill arrived.

Guest appearance: Tera Patrick.

Master Shake enters and announces he has bad glaucoma, and that his doctor said he needs to smoke marijuana to help him get better. The Mooninites arrive and say they grow marijuana on the Moon (called 'moonajuana'), at first to battle their own crippling illnesses, but now simply for recreation. Against Frylock's wishes, Shake and Meatwad go off with Ignignokt and Err to get stoned. A man with questionable intent then approaches Err and several other gay prostitutes shortly before opening fire on the group with an uzi.

A small milkshake, looking just like Master Shake, arrives at the Aqua Teen's house, calling Shake "Daddy." Shake is very resistant to him, avoiding and berating him to avoid having to take care of him. Before the little milkshake could run away to Reno, Frylock allows him to stay until he's old enough to live independently, with Meatwad naming him Ezekial. The Aqua Teens partake in activities with Ezekial to bond with him, but Shake bullies him, much to the others' disapproval.

Guest appearance: Patton Oswalt as Ezekiel (credited as "Shecky Chucklestein").

Guest appearances: Mike Judge and Will Forte as The Nutty Bunch, Erik & Larry. George Lowe as himself
6813"Carl Wash"Dave Willis & Matt MaiellaroDave Willis & Matt MaiellaroDecember 21, 2006 (2006-12-21)413

Meatwad responds to an ad in the newspaper and gets a job at "Carl's Car Wash," standing out on the highway in front of it waving and dancing to attract business (but only gets cups full of coke thrown at him). Meatwad gets some help from Frylock in trying some new shapes, but eventually gives up. He instead takes Master Shake's advice and tries unsuccessfully to antagonize their neighbor Carl into getting his car washed, by turning into a fist extending his middle finger then asking if he is a dumbass who's gonna get his ass whupped. Carl and Carl Jr. arrive and, after pointing out that he, his son.

Note: This is the last episode to premiere and take place events before the Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theaters.
