Aqua Teen Hunger Force - Season 6



I'm pretty sure they're done with this production cycle, but there's gonna be hell to pay if they're not. Ten episodes this time, and most of them are pretty bizarre. I hate to say the show's not as funny anymore, but it's not even really what they're going for - they seem as concerned with doing something completely insane as making the audience laugh. There's some good moments, and the premiere "Gene E." is as funny as the series has been in a while. There's also some genuinely disturbing things like a Spider-Man story except if instead of a spider it's a black man, a werewolf that's not really a werewolf, and Frylock's horrifying attempts to get together with a computer technician. The time travel episode was pretty good even if the odd plot twists didn't make any damn sense, and the live action finale featuring Jon Benjamin and T-Pain was enjoyable. I'm not sure what's planned for the series' future besides a second movie, but I feel like it's running on fumes at this point besides the occasional moment of brilliance.
