Last night, Adult Swim's Friday Night Fix ran a few premiere episodes online, including the first new episode of Aqua Teen Hunger Force since the parting of the Red Sea. In "Dirtfoot", Master Shake throws himself down a well - which mysteriously appears in the Aqua Teen's front yard - in order to get women to sleep with him. (It's a whole Jessica McClure thing, I guess.) Midway through the episode, it turns out that Shake's built himself an entire bachelor's alcove at the bottom, complete with hot tub, hydraulic elevator - and, oh yeah, a big dirtball with one foot and a predilection for batting for the home team.Was it funny? On an Aqua Teen scale of 1 to 10, I'd give it a...oh, screw that. Yeah, it was funny, though not the pinnacle of laughs; it wasn't "Revenge of the Mooninites", "Bus of the Undead", or "Broodwich". Aqua Teen is a lot like Monty Python: you watch it, not because every episode is hilarious, but because it's a comic delight whenever they do manage to run on all cylinders. We'll see what the rest of the season has in store; for now, it's off to a promising start.
The episode will replay this Sunday, December 4th, at 12am.

Moon Master is by far my favorite episode, just to hear Shake yell, "I rule your WORLD!" at Meatwad. Plus, I just love the Mooninites.

My favorite Mooninite quote is Err telling Meatwad, "We smoke while we shoot the bird!"

"The Last One," where all the villains get together on the moon to plot the demise of the ATHF reigns supreme!
Either that or "Tshirt of the Living Dead" where Shake steals an ancient magical Egyptian tshirt from the museum and Meatwad is the only one who can use it - I think that's the only other episode I cried so hard from laughing.
Either way, it's awesome TV Squad is blogging [adult swim]! Encore, encore!
