Trivia:

Through Seasons 1-3, when the show ended, the logo for Williams Street Studios was followed by the image of a skull and crossbones with the Cartoon Network logo as the skull's teeth. Over that would be the sound of Matt Maiellaro, the show's co-creator, shouting, "Skull!"

Quotes:

Meatwad: [In front of a closet that has a sign that says "WARNING! DO NOT ENTER!] Carl, in here, no one won't ever think to look in here.
[Opens the door to reveal a pink intestinal-like surface with a gaping black hole]
Meatwad: No one won't ever want to get near here.
Carl: You, uh, you sure about this?
Meatwad: Aww, just do it.
[Master Shake pushes Carl in and closes the door. A second later, the door opens up again, and Carl comes flying out of the closet screaming]
Meatwad: Whoops, my bad.
Frylock: [angrily closing the door] I told y'all: this closet is not to be opened, it is a horrible horrible place in there!
Meatwad: Well there's a knob there.
Frylock: Why do you think I put the sign there? You think I was being cute?

NUMBER ONE IN THE HOOD, G!

Rarely is it that we are graced with such an odd series that seems like such a painfully stupid idea that works so well. Aqua Teen Hunger Force details the lives of three roommates that fight evil forces. The odd thing about these roommates however, is that they are a milkshake (Master Shake), a box of fries (Frylock), and a wad of uncooked meat (Meatwad). Yes, it sounds completely stupid. And you need to see more than one episode to appreciate it. But it is surprisingly one of the funniest shows on television. My only complaint: that each episode is only about 11 minutes long. Aqua Teen Hunger Force really is "number one in the hood"! A+
