AQUA TEEN HUNGER FORCE / Space Conflict From Beyond Pluto - 2002

Here's one from season one, in this episode Frylock and Shake meet up with their new 'space buddies'  from beyond Pluto! As in every ATHF story, it doesn't go well.

We see a disc on the roof of the Hunger Force's house, looks like something Frylock would cook up for some scientific experiment.

Like in CLOSE ENCOUNTERS, Frylock is sending out a few choice notes into space on his keyboard (La Cucaracha) hoping for a response from an alien life form.

OMG!!.. He gets a response!!

Oglethorpe (orange) and Emory invite Frylock up to their ship on a beam, they had requested that he bring a six-pack to make it a party.

Unauthorized to use the beam, freakin' Shake shows up. Frylock says he's outta there and beams himself back to Earth, he knows what a drag Shake is and wants nothing to do with him being there on the aliens' ship, bye!

Shake's relaxing in a room so Oglethorpe and Emory ready themselves to take over planet Earth. As we find out, they got nothing! They're total bumble heads.

Shake's taking a nap in a room that looks like it was designed for children! The aliens already hate Shake's guts and won't let him out.

Oglethorpe even offers him a few women's magazines to kill some time while he's in there.

They feed Shake, who's hungry, some virtual pizza in a fish tank. Then there's a phone call for Shake, brought to him by a little telephone robot!

The call is from Frylock... Carl wants to know why he paid Shake to mow the lawn and now it's burned to a crisp and his house is melted!... Well!

Shake tells Carl that he warned him that there would be risks involved. Oh, and he farmed the job out to Meatwad. Carl tells him that they'll settle it when he gets back... With his tire iron!!

Even Carl's precious car gets burned up while Meatwad explains his reasons for doing what he did to the lawn. Carl can't win, and he already paid Shake $20 for the job!

The aliens finally let Shake out of the room, only to be further repulsed by the cup's actions and rambling, and he wants to be their best friend! Gasp!!

Oglethorpe comes up with a plan to get rid of Shake, he tells Shake that there's a hundred dollar bill on the wing of the ship. Even though nothing's there, the lure of a hundred dollars is too much for the money grubbing Shake.

Shake gets in a pod and searches for the illusive bill, then Oglethorpe yells to Emory... GUN IT!!! Shake just spins around and around.

Things get under control and Shake finally comes in for a landing...

And, Carl's waiting for him, with his tire iron in hand.

Shake tells Carl all about the wonderful time he had with his pals Oglethorpe and Emory on their ship in space...

Shake wants to know what's new with Carl, so, Carl gets into the pod with the creep and shows him the finish on his tire iron, up close and personal!

  1. Emory and Oglethorpe make me laugh. They're two universities in Atlanta, and I've always wondered if the Plutonians were named for them.
