A milkshake named Master Shake, a box of French fries named Frylock, and a wad of meat named Meatwad live in New Jersey, next door to Carl, their grumpy human neighbor. Together, they are Aqua Teen Hunger Force, though honestly why they're actually called this isn't really important as they don't spend much time underwater nor do they actually fight hunger. Whether or not they're teens or not is debatable. At any rate, they've been entertaining those of us with cable on The Cartoon Network's Adult Swim program for a couple of years now and gone on to gather a sizable cult following. What we have now is the fourth compilation of episodes from The Cartoon Network/Warner Brothers, in the form of Aqua Teen Hunger Force Volume Four, compiling thirteen brilliant episodes of the show over two DVDs.

None of it really makes any sense at all, but all of it is damn funny anyway even if it's really difficult to explain to anyone who hasn't seen it just exactly why that is…

Disc One:

Video Ouija: When Meatwad becomes obsessed with his interactive Ouija Board video game, Master Shake decides to kill himself so that he can go into the game and mess with Meatwad. His plan backfires when he gets stuck in the after life with a screaming baby and Frylock has to bring in a witch doctor to bring Shake back to the land of the living.

Unremarkable Voyage: Frylock creates a shrinking/enlarging ray that Shake and Carl want to use to enlarge their 'Johnsons.' Eventually Shake hijacks it forces Meatwad and Carl to battle, American Gladiator style. Meatwad eats a microchip, thinking it's food, and Frylock has to try and get it out of him. Shake vomits a lot.

Mooninites 3: Remooned: The Mooninites swipe Uncle Cliff's moon-disability check and head to Earth to try and cash it so that they can go on a spending spree. They try and get Shake to cash it, then Meatwad who uses Carl's ID, but no one will touch it. Meanwhile, Shake is trying to get Meatwad to break a new record for how long he can stay inside a microwave while it's turned on, without realizing that Frylock has reversed the direction in which the rays emit.

Gee Whiz: A billboard for the local guns and ammo store makes the news when some of the locals see the face of Jesus in the butt of the gun. Frylock explains that they shouldn't refer to him as Jesus, but as something less offensive, like Gee Whiz. Shake's world is rocked when Gee Whiz turns out to be, in fact, Ted Nugent – but Carl is stoked.

eDork: When Shake buys himself a new eHelmet so that he can text message people, he thinks he's the coolest kid on the block and gets Carl in on the game. Soon though, all the accessories that he needs to keep things moving start to drag him down and Carl becomes obsessed with internet farm porn.

Little Brittle: Little Brittle is the latest rapper to catch Meatwad's attention. Frylock is convinced that it is once again MC Pee Pants, returned from Hell to enact some sort of money making scheme but Meatwad thinks that this time it's different until he and Frylock go to visit the geriatric rapper in the old folk's home.

Robositter: Sarah Silver guest voices as the Robositter, a creation of Frylock's that he hopes will aid he and Shake in watching after Meatwad while they go out and get jobs to buy food. When the Robositter takes on the qualities of a real teenage girl, however, things get ugly.

Disc Two:

Mooninites 4: The Final Mooning: The Mooninites show up one more time to scam Earthlings into buying their cheaply made Moon Master merchandise by conning them into believing that they've won a challenging video game that proves they are true warriors. Shake, Carl, and Meatwad all fall for it, and Frylock has to try and get rid of them.

The South Bronx Parasite Diet: Carl and Meatwad get into a competition to see who can lose more weight first. Carl takes on a huge lead when he subscribes to the South Bronx Paradise Diet, that is in fact the South Bronx Parasite diet.

Dusty Gozongas: A local stripper (voiced by someone who sounds suspiciously like Scott Thompson of The Kids In The Hall) named Dusty shows up to fix the gas main and throws Shake and Carl into a tizzy. Shake puts a plan into motion that he hopes will get him laid, but Carl's on the scene first with his own ideas.

T-Shirt Of The Dead: While at the museum of history, Shake steals a t-shirt that holds the power to let he who wears it think or do anything that he wants. He washes it, as it 'smells like ass' but it shrinks and the only one who can fit into it is Meatwad, who demonstrates some strange abilities and even stranger desires.

Hypno-Germ: When Shake picks up some strange germs off of a toilet seat at a rest stop off of the highway, he starts to hallucinate and see strange things coming out of the walls in the house. Frylock injects shake with some Mexican jumping beans who battle it out with the Hypno-Germs by way of some terrible off-Broadway play acting.

Spacegate World: The ATHF guys head off on vacation and Meatwad leaves Carl in charge of his dolls while they're gone. While they're gone, Carl starts to bond with the dolls as he goes about his day-to-day business of calling up girls he knew while he was in high school and watching aerobics on television. When he heads over to the ATHF house, he discovers a strange spacegate in their basement, and can't resist seeing what lays beyond it…

Video:

Well, seeing as it's a cartoon originally intended for television broadcast it makes perfect sense that this DVD is presented 1.33:1. Colors look nice and while the animation on the show is rather basic, there's a fairly high level of detail. There are a few edge enhancement issues in a couple of the episodes as seems to be common with animation on DVD, but aside from that, the episodes all look pretty nice and there aren't any compression artifacts and the image is nice and clean from start to finish.
