Aqua Teen Hunger Force (2000–2023)
8/10
As weird as it gets, and I mean that in the best way
9 March 2011
While the series has worn off a bit for me from when I was first enthralled by it's sheer dada- esque insanity, the best episodes still transcend to inspired levels of bizarre, gross, tweaked humor.

When your starting premise is a giant talking shake, fries, and wad of meat living in New Jersey, how wrong can you go?

It can be hit or miss, but the best episodes ('MC Pee Pants', 'Love Mummy', 'Dumber Dolls' from season 1, 'The Clowning', 'Total Recarl' and 'The Last One' from season 3, 'Video Ouija', 'Dusty Gazongas' and 'Hypno Germ' from season 4) rise to a sublime level of hysterical absurdity, where you're both laughing and shaking your head at the audacity and bravery of the storytelling.

If you like strange, gonzo humor (Monty Python would be my generation's touchstone) and/or out-there adult animation, you owe it to yourself to give this a try -- and give it a couple of episodes to let your head get into what the creators are doing.
