Contents

This episode marks the second time an Adult Swim original series made it to 100 episodes, the first being Space Ghost Coast to Coast . "One Hundred" strongly parodies the Hanna-Barbera cartoon, Scooby-Doo. This is the final episode of the series to premiere branded as an Aqua Teen Hunger Force episode before the series started using alternative titles for each season as a running gag. This episode received a positive review by Ramsey Isler of IGN, and was the third highest rated program the night of its debut. This episode has been made available on DVD, and other forms of home media, including on demand streaming.

Plot

Frylock is obsessed with the number 100. Master Shake then flies off to California to meet with television executives, and an animated version of Dana Snyder, the actual voice actor who provides the voice of Master Shake, pops out of him, demanding syndication money, claiming that it is the hundredth episode, so he deserves it. A television executive replies that because Aqua Teen Hunger Force is only eleven minutes long, they only have fifty half-hours of material. Dana Snyder then storms out of the room claiming that he'll be back in another eight years with another fifty half-hours of material ready.

Shortly after Master Shake returns home, One Hundred, a giant yellow monster in the shape of the number 100, appears and sends Master Shake, Frylock, and Meatwad into a different world, called "Aqua Unit Patrol Squad" which features the main characters in a Hanna-Barbera-like style. They investigate a haunted house, where Dr. Weird, a monster (whose costume Carl wore half naked on the Internet), Handbanana, Dr. Wongburger, the Cybernetic Ghost of Christmas Past from the Future, Billy Witchdoctor.com, and Willie Nelson all make brief non-speaking cameo appearances. Carl makes a brief appearance as well. They all run into a monster, soon after Frylock unmasks the monster, who turns out to be One Hundred in disguise. Shake tells him that he failed to put Aqua Teen Hunger Force in syndication, telling him that he even tried to double the episodes to make them fit in a half-hour time slot.

The closing credits feature Dana Snyder once again talking to a television executive, in an attempt to put Aqua Teen Hunger Force into syndication, but the television executive walks out on him, telling him that nothing he says is funny.

Cultural references

"One Hundred" makes reference to the 2007 psychological thriller film, The Number 23 , when Frylock is obsessed with the number 100. "One Hundred" strongly parodies the Hanna-Barbera cartoon Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! : During the parody, called "Aqua Unit Patrol Squad", Meatwad becomes "Meaty Meaty Moo", a parody of the character Scooby-Doo, and Tabitha, a female character resembling Daphne and Velma, then joins the Aqua Unit Patrol Squad. [6] The episode also references fellow Hanna-Barbera cartoon The Flintstones by having Master Shake and Frylock resemble Fred Flintstone and Barney Rubble, respectively, during the Scooby-Doo parody sequence while Carl takes on the appearance of Mr. Peebles from Magilla Gorilla .

[7]

The episode then jumps to a Scooby-Doo parody, which Ramsey Isler of IGN called the "funniest stuff ATHF has done in a long time". IGN gave the episode a 7.8. out of 10, generally classifying it as "good", while commenting on how oddly dark humoured the events of the episode went, in a character showing up and stating his desire to behead another character, before taking her off into the woods, followed by someone talking to one of the network people from before, who criticized them for it. [6]

Home media

"One Hundred" was released on DVD in Region 1 as part of the Aqua Unit Patrol Squad 1: Season 1 DVD set on October 11, 2011, along with six other episodes from season seven and the entire eighth season.
