"Aqua Teen Hunger Force" [Maiellaro-Willis, 2000] Season 4 [Dec. '05- '06]

This animated comedy has essentially the same modus operandi as Frisky Dingo, only this one is more gritty, realistic, and straight-up outrageous: to carry its comedy forward, there is nowhere Matt Maiellaro and Dave Willis won't go. Having slacked off somewhat here from the astonishingly brilliant work of art that was its second season, there is absolutely nothing (else, anyway) about the show that has changed since then. Two standout episodes: "Hand Banana" and "Carl Wash," in which Carl is, respectively, scammed and raped. And indeed, many of the others seem to fall a little flat. Grade: B PLUS
