What happens

Aqua Teen Hunger Force (also branded with different alternative titles for seasons 8–11) is an American adult animated television series created by Dave Willis and Matt Maiellaro for Cartoon Network's late night programming block Adult Swim. Produced by Williams Street, it documents the surreal adventures and antics of three anthropomorphic fast food items: Master Shake, Meatwad, and Frylock, who live together as roommates and frequently interact with their cranky human next-door neighbor, Carl. The first episode premiered on Cartoon Network on December 30, 2000, and the series later made its official debut on Adult Swim on September 9, 2001. Every episode was directed and written by Willis and Maiellaro, who also provided several voices. Seasons 8–11 were each given a different title, accompanied by different theme music, as a running joke. The series initially concluded on August 30, 2015, but later returned for an additional season on November 26, 2023. The series ultimately ended on December 17, 2023, with a total of 144 episodes over the course of 12 seasons, making it the longest running series on Cartoon Network. Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theaters, a film adaptation of the series, was released in theaters on April 13, 2007, the first adaptation of an Adult Swim series into a feature-length film. A spin-off series consisting of 10 online shorts, entitled Aquadonk Side Pieces, were released on the official Adult Swim YouTube channel in April 2022 and a direct-to-video film, entitled Aqua Teen Forever: Plantasm, was released on November 8, 2022.
