Aqua Teen Hunger Force

Characters

The Aqua Teen Hunger Force

Master Shake (voiced by Dana Snyder) is a rude, mean-spirited, and self-centered white cup with a pink straw sticking out of his lid. He has two yellow gloves for hands. Unlike the other members of the Force, Shake has no overwhelming superpower: when he tries to summon a power, he usually ends up dripping a glob of milkshake out from his straw. He takes endless satisfaction in tormenting Meatwad, and can often be found watching television. As the self-appointed leader of the Aqua Teens, "Master" Shake (usually refered to simply as, Shake) routinely makes irresponsible decisions, the results of which are frequently disastrous. Incredibly selfish and callous, he is completely unconcerned with anyone's well-being except his own; he seems oblivious to any suffering his behavior causes others, yet he will become violently petulant the moment he feels he has been wronged in the slightest. He appears to be utterly incapable of learning anything from even the most catastrophic consequences of his actions. His exploits are often the centerpiece of episodes, opposite Frylock's attempts to retain some control over the situation. Arguably, the majority of the show's humor would not exist without Shake's ridiculously thoughtless behavior. One common element of humor derived from Shake's bad attitude is extensive Schadenfreude as a result of the problems he causes himself by being so selfish. Because of his arrogance, viewers can easily laugh at Shake's self-inflicted suffering without any shame.

Frylock (voiced by Carey Means) is a red box of french fries, sporting a goatee, french fries for hair, dental braces, and a blue mystic jewel which is embedded in his back. He moves by levitation, and has the ability to shoot things such as lasers, fireballs and even carbon dioxide (used as a fire extinguisher) from his eyes. He uses his fries as appendages and also possesses a "Frydar" that can pick up most any frequency or location. He has an S&M gimp suit, and has been known to wear it around the house. Frylock is scientifically-minded and usually the most sane and rational member of the team. His comedic role is usually that of the straight man. A picture in his room shows himself and a young Dr. Weird. Its significance has never been explained.

Meatwad (voiced by Dave Willis) is a spherical mass of compressed meat that was not approved for human consumption. He has a face sporting a lone tooth protruding downward from his upper gums. He has the power to change his shape into things such as an igloo, a hot dog, a "meat bridge", or in one episode what he thinks is Wayne Gretsky, though it looks suspiciously like a katana-wielding Abraham Lincoln. While he is usually simpleminded and gullible (removing his brain seems to have no effect), and thus easily influenced by the show's many unscrupulous characters, he does occasionally demonstrate a devilish capacity for manipulation and a mastery of deadpan sarcasm.

Some have theorized that there is a Freudian dynamic between the characters, namely that Master Shake represents the selfish, impulsive id, Frylock the superego, and Meatwad the childish ego.

Carl Brutananadilewski (voiced by Dave Willis) is the Aqua Teen Hunger Force's neighbor. Balding, overweight, hairy, and usually wearing a gold chain, white tank top, pocketless sweatpants, and green flip-flops, Carl embodies the unmarriable bachelor. He has an above-ground swimming pool in his backyard and a red sports car named "2 Wycked". He and his possessions often end up being the unwitting victim of the Aqua Teens' enemies or the Aqua Teens themselves. He considers the Aqua Teens freaks, and would usually prefer to avoid contact with them. He works out of the home.

Dr. Weird (voiced by C. Martin Croker) is a mad scientist who lives in an abandoned mental asylum on the rainy Jersey Shore. Dressed in a colorful outfit reminiscent of 1960s cartoon villains, complete with glass space helmet (his "Hair-arium"), he starts many shows by presenting his latest creation with his catch phrase "Gentlemen, behold!" to his lone lab assistant Steve. His nonsensical inventions include a giant rabbit robot called Rabbot, and a rainbow-making machine. A picture of his younger self with Frylock on Frylock's bookshelf suggests that he has some past ties with the ATHF.

Steve (also voiced by C. Martin Croker) is Dr. Weird's assistant. Red-haired, wearing a lab coat, and frequently holding a test tube, Steve is aware of Dr. Weird's insanity, but he remains his assistant nonetheless.

MC Pee Pants, aka Sir Loin, aka Little Brittle (voiced by Chris Ward, a.k.a. mc chris) is a demonspawn rap artist from Hell, who is reincarnated in different forms. With each return, he establishes a new name and identity, but his voice, personality, and clothing remain constant. In each incarnation, he wears a diaper, a shower cap and a gold chain around his neck. He usually has an elaborate scheme to take over the world, which begins by sending instructions to his listeners in the form of a hit rap single such as "I Want Candy" and "4 Da Shorteez". His forms have included a giant spider, a cow, an elderly human, and a worm.

The Mooninites, Ignignokt (voiced by Dave Willis) and Err (voiced by Matt Maiellaro), are pixelated, two-dimensional inhabitants of the Moon. Ignignokt, the leader, is green and larger than his purple counterpart Err. He speaks with a usually self-important, condescending air. Err is his hyperactive and trash-talking tag-along. He often yells. Err fits precisely in a notch in Ignignokt's head, joining them together activates their super power; they can fire a large square slow-moving (and easily avoided) video-game "bullet" they call the "Quad Laser". A more powerful version of this attack is known as the "Quad Glacier" which also happens to be much larger and much slower than its counterpart. The Mooninites enjoy boasting that the Moon is superior to Earth in every way, often referring to Earth objects or concepts as "primitive," although they can never prove this superiority when they attempt to do so. The Mooninites often persuade the seemingly impressionable Meatwad into performing acts of vandalism, stealing, and smoking/drinking. Resembling extremely simplistic, blocky low-resolution game sprites, the duo is a sendup of the Atari 2600 era of video games. The sound effects that accompany their movements are taken directly from such classic early arcade games as Space Invaders and Asteroids.

The Plutonians, Oglethorpe (voiced by Andy Merrill) and Emory (voiced by Mike Schatz), are two spiny extraterrestrial creatures who are orange and green, respectively, and usually sport nothing but sweatbands. According the show's website, they became misshapen and deformed after trying to retrieve their keys in a woodchipper. They want to eventually conquer the Earth, but instead spend more time devising bizarre, ill-advised ideas and bickering with each other. They command a huge spaceship that they barely know how to operate. Oglethorpe is high-strung and easily angered, speaks in an Austrian accent, and conceives most of their plans, while Emory is much more passive. Both are named after universities in Atlanta (Oglethorpe University and Emory University).
