Aqua Teen Hunger Force — Season One

Revenge of the Mooninites is the eighth episode of the first season of Aqua Teen Hunger Force.

Voices: Dana Snyder (Master Shake), Carey Means (Frylock), Dave Willis (Meatwad/Carl/Ignignokt), C. Martin Croker (Dr. Weird/Steve), Matt Maiellaro (Err)

Plot Overview

The Mooninites return to cause more havoc. They "help Meatwad" get tickets to get a ten speed bicycle. However, they spend the tickets instead on the Foreigner belt, which is infused with all the magical powers of the 70's Rock band of the same name. And like Carl says, Foreigner does indeed rock, and so does the belt.

Notes

• During the ending credits, Ignignokt and Err can be seen on the moon.
• In the episode opener, Dr. Weird's invisible! ...or maybe not.

Trivia

The Show

• When Meatwad, Err and Ignignokt are walking down the sidewalk, Err has the belt in his hand... then suddenly it appears around Ignignokt's waist.
• When Frylock says Meatwad has seven Harvest Time tickets, look closely. He has seven and a half tickets.

Quotes

• Carl puts the magical Foreigner belt on
  Mooninites: You may have the belt, but we have the instructions!
  Carl: I don't need no instructions to know how to rock!

• Carl: Oh, I'll give ya a magazine, buddy! Hey! It's full of hollow points! You're gonna love it when I put those in a gun, and then put 'em in your brain!

• Ignignokt: This pornography is infinitely excellent. This dresser however, is very boring.
  Err: Yeah, get rid of it!
  Ignignokt: Torch the dresser, Meatwad.
  Meatwad: But, this is where Carl keeps his clothes.
  Ignignokt: Look, these girls don't have any clothes on and they're not complaining.
  Err: Yeah man, they're kissing each other!
  Ignignokt: And you want Carl to be forever kissed, don't you?

• Err: Man, you gotta check this out. (shows a magazine to Meatwad)
  Meatwad: Aww yeah, baby. That's a neat car she's washing. You think that's a straight six?
  Err: I think I have a straight six!
  Ignignokt: Err, your sexual innuendo is priceless.

• Meatwad: See, the object of the game is to get this machine somehow to spit out tickets. Now I really haven't figured out how that works yet... and I don't know what these wooden balls are for. I mean I've been eatin' em.
