List of episodes

Aqua Teen Hunger Force Forever (or shortened as Aqua Teen Forever) is the alternative title given to the eleventh season of the animated television series, Aqua Teen Hunger Force . ^{[1] [2]} Originally the final season, it aired in the United States on Cartoon Network's late night programming block, Adult Swim. It premiered on June 21, 2015, with "Mouth Quest" and ended with "The Greatest Story Ever Told" on August 30, 2015, with a total of nine episodes. The show 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 late January 2016, this season became available on Hulu Plus.

Episodes in this season were written and directed by Dave Willis and Matt Maiellaro. The theme music, entitled "We Rule Your Animated Comedy Ass Forever", was written and performed by the three main cast members alongside Michael Kohler. Almost every episode in this season featured a special guest appearance, which continues a practice used in past seasons. This season has been released in various forms of home media, including on demand streaming.

Production

Episodes in this season were written and directed by series creators Dave Willis and Matt Maiellaro, who have both written and directed every episode of the series. Episodes in this season aired in the United States on Cartoon Network's late night programming block Adult Swim.

An episode entitled "Laser Cowboy" was written for this season but was never produced, as Adult Swim did not think it would work. The episode was to be entirely live action, and did not actually feature any of the main characters. The episode was to be as if the main characters were watching a completely different show on Carl's Roku box, with the episode itself being an episode of the show. ^[3]

Dave Willis first announced that this will be the final season on April 25, 2015 at a C2CE convention panel. ^[4] He stated that the series was cancelled, and it wasn't his decision to end it. Willis and Maiellaro first learned about the cancellation from people from the animation studio, halfway through the production of this season. ^[5] Willis mentioned on Reddit that Adult Swim president Mike Lazzo made the decision to end the series because "he was ready to move on from it". ^[6]

In 2017, Adult Swim was asked why they don't make more episodes, to which they responded "we might" with a bump. ^[7] Willis also expressed interest in doing a Kickstarter to fund Death Fighter, a scrapped sequel to Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theaters . ^[8] The series was announced to have been renewed for a five episode 12th season in 2023. ^[9]

After being missing for days, Master Shake returns home (for some reason, using a tape recorder that only says "Hi, there's the guy I wanted to see" to speak). Frylock mentions that he and Meatwad last saw Shake at the mall where Meatwad pleaded to get a pet rabbit, Master Shake then reveals he's brought the rabbit home to give to Meatwad (despite that it's unconscious). After Meatwad thanks Shake for the pet rabbit, Master Shake states "Christ has risen once again" in a deep-toned, raspy voice, causing Frylock and Meatwad to realize that he isn't the real Master Shake (the latter not caring in the slightest). Meatwad goes next door to show Carl his new rabbit, both of which suspects that the rabbit's dead, so Carl suggests Meatwad cut off its foot to use for a good luck charm. Meanwhile, Frylock confronts the imposter-Master Shake as to what he did with his "dumbass roommate", to which he explains that he's actually a rabbit named Dr. Zord who drugged Master Shake at the mall so he could swap his mind with Master Shake's. Meatwad and carl discover this when they saw off the rabbit's foot with a circ-saw and realize that the rabbit has Shake's voice (who persistently denies being a rabbit). Dr. Zord brings the Aqua Teens and Carl to the mall that night to demonstrate how he transferred Shake's mind with his: He and Master Shake urinated into the mall fountain at the same time while maintaining eye-contact, which caused lightning to strike the fountain and swap their minds. Frylock, not believing the story in the slightest, agrees to perform this experiment with Dr. Zord's henchman, Randy the Spider, which causes their minds to swap bodies. Astounded by what's happened, Meatwad agrees to perform the experiment with Dr. Zord's other henchman, Lionel the hamster, which results in all the Aqua Teens being mind-swapped with animals. Dr. Zord then exclaims that his plan was to mind-swap his and his henchmen's minds with humans so that they could collect unemployment, which comes undone when Frylock (in spider-form) bites Dr. Zord between the eyes, resulting in him dying due to Master Shake's extreme spider-bite allergy. At this point, Master Shake has alerted mall security of everyone's presence, causing Randy and Lionel to runaway and sending Carl into a panic since he's been arrested for public urination at the mall. Frylock then convinces Carl to perform the experiment with him (saying mall security will never suspect a spider of stealing those denim jackets that he and Randy were raiding), resulting in Carl's mind going into the spider's body and Frylock's mind going into Carl's body. When mall security arrives, they capture the three animals (who're actually Master Shake, Meatwad, and Carl) and ban Frylock/Carl from the mall (although he gets to keep the jackets). Months later on Christmas Eve, Master Shake, Meatwad, and Carl are on sale when they see Frylock/Carl and notice that he's in shape, nicely groomed, and has a smoking-hot girl. When Frylock/Carl sees the three animals, he immediately retreats with his girlfriend (not wanting to give-up the life he's worked hard to get), enraging Master Shake and Carl. Meatwad is then placed in a cage with a Cobra, who eats him. Guest appearances: Greg Fitzsimmons as Randy, John DiMaggio as Dr. Zord (credited as "Pat McGroin"), Matt Foster as Lionel

Frylock creates a virtual reality game to train for an expedition to an ocean planet inhabited by pernicious francophone bivalves. In a heartbreaking dinner table conversation, Frylock reveals that he is dying and that the ocean planet Chlamydia holds the key to his salvation. When Master Shake discovers his death is also imminent, he composes a bucket list that entails copulating fifty times. Shake receives moral support and Susan B. Anthony dollar coins from Carl, who schemes to misappropriate Frylock's power source for his own financial gain. In the end, the quest to save Frylock and Shake's lives from fizzling out falls on the shoulders of the lowly Meatwad, who matures and learns the true meaning of family. Guest appearance: Patti Smith performing "Aqua Teen Dream"
