Awesome Dr. Weird, especially since I love BBQ...

That's a lot of paper cups...

Battlefield Earth Cups, about as worthless as the movie itself.

Wow. Shake dug real fast.

Are they making fun of X-Files here?

I like the parallel universe-thingy.

I never did see Blair Witch Project.

Gotta love evil demons talking about Vogue. And Shake's cracks at Frylock about reading it.

No bacon? Awww...

This reminds me of the Egyptian demon robot dude from Season 1.

Meatwad tricked Shake again!

Shake can really chew.

This conversation makes as much sense as Big O Episode 26.

It was a contest? o.O LOL! Awesome ending!

Three things:

I thought the parallel animation style was very Don Hertzfeldt-esque. My brother thought it looked like Squee!. I also thought that the triangular figures' voice was H. Jon Benjamin again, and I think that the last 5 seconds of the episode left me laughing as hard as any Dr. Weird episode.

Not as good as the last few episodes, but it was still good. I loved how the evil voice kept trying to get Shake to eat the Broodwich and the conversation between Jerry and the other guy was great.

Because the bone wife, the "contest," and the brain surgery came out of nowhere and was cool.

Behonkiss

Mainly the brain surgery, and the sudden 3 cuts from "Huh?" to "EAT IT!" to the ax chop. Out of nowhere.

H. Jon Benjamin had to have been the triangle. I swear I've seen that animation style but I can't recall where...

I swear I've seen that animation style but I can't recall where... Think Rejected or anything else by Don Hertzfelt.

Ah.

Well, this made more sense than the Big O finale...

I really liked this one.

Dr. Weird - Another excellent one. The comic timing really sold the bit.

The alternate universe (a netherworld?) - I loved the drawing/animation style. I've never seen Rejected, so I didn't have a point of reference. Regardless of Don Hertzfelt (I gotta look up that name online to settle my curiosity), I'd love to see most of an ATHF episode in that world someday.

Aw, no Carl again. I thought at one point Shake would try to get him to eat the Broodwich (he tried that with Meatwad instead).

i enjoyed this one.. let's see where my notes are.

Ah, screw my notes.

Dr wierd's segment of being filled full of barbecue sauce was so hilarious. i wanted to see him pop though!

That was one mean sandwich and alternate reality shake kept slipping into.. where he slowly wound down his destiny to being axed @_@

finally, i guess they wanted to improve the place a bit. with all those roses... it was so nice to see fire effects and water like that, the quality of this episode is so good it hurts :)

i thought that one-eyed dude wanting to make two half shakes out of a master shake, was a parody jab at plankton of spongebob squarepants... !?! wierd.

now that was creepy in the underground under their house.. that voice definently wanted shake to eat that sandwich...nice maneuvering the dude into madness, then mindlessness and finally lifelessness.

No carl this week, i guess. but still a solid episode.

Notes?

Ah, maybe THAT'S where I've gone wrong! :D

(Actually, the above sounds like it could be a Dr. Weird opening!)

Aqua Teen Hunger Force "Broodwich" Episode Review.

"There's a chance this will work."
"You said it wouldn't work."
"There's a chance... this won't work!

Nice first words, and then Shake digging the front for treasure, the narrator's voice, the flashes to the cartoon world (they remind me of Homestar Runner's "Crazy Cartoon" Strongbad E-Mail though) to Meatwad tricking Shake to explaining about the Broodwich to Shake passing the tests to the voice actually have Shake get chopped gets this a good grade of an A+.

Too tired to say much else. Very long Big O review I did. Read it.

Highlights of "Broodwich" included the bit with Vogue, and the weird animation sequence.

Out of 5, I give it 3.5.

This was a good one.

The characters in that other dimension looked like they were from South Park.

That voice was funny too.

Gotta love random humor and biding for time.

IMO, one of the best episodes ever.

Anyone notice something different about this review?

Corrado

"H. Jon Benjamin had to have been the triangle."

Yes, he was credited in the end.

"Aw, no Carl again."

Yeah, that's why "Broodwich" wasn't as good as the last few ATHF's. Perhaps he's with Meatwad's wife.

Also, I noticed on the schedule that November 9 at 11:30 is blank. Is there a new ATHF next week?

ahhh thank you matt and dave, for bringing us this spin-out of an episode!!! i am now convinced that surrealist humor is the new revolutionary art form of our generation...

Dr. Wierd segment: BBQ sauce implant(mentioned in Rvenge Of The Trees)

Everything is so funny, this is so funny it's deserve a way overperfect ******.

Y'know, I really thought the style of the parallel universe looked familiar, but I couldn't put my finger on it. But after I saw it the third time I thought to myself, "Rejected? Awesome!" I love Rejected. :D

Just like I loved "Broodwich". The parallel universe, the sandwich, the brain surgerey, this episode had me laughing from beginning to end. The only thing that could have made it better is if they showed what Frylock and Meatwad looked Rejected style! And the ending... "Huh?" "EAT IT!" *ax to the head* Hilarious.

Grade: A-

The Broodwich sounds like Homer's soul donut.

EightOh

This was awesome. The end had me cackling for a long while afterwards.

The parallel universe animation was definitely reminiscent of Hertzfeldt, with a little "Eh, Steve!" thrown in for good measure.

It seemed sort of slower than usual, but everything worked so well I didn't mind that a bit. Classic episode.

9.6 or thereabouts.

Ruled again.

I thought the funniest aspect was Shake's refusal to quit eating the sandwich. Though it was predictable, it was just done so damn funny.

The "Rejected" sequences were good, came off remniscent without coming off as a ripoff. Why do you think the ending was funny...just wondering? How WASN'T the ending funny?

Seriously, best ATHF ending ever.

The Triangle-thing in the Rejected-verse sounded incredibly familiar. Anyone know who that was?

DianaGohan

11-03-2003, 07:51 PM

We're guessing John Benjaminm (Coach McGuirk and Jason from Home Movies) was that character. His name was in the credits. But I didn't tape it, so I'm not entirley too sure.

Yes, he was credited in the end.

Funny thing about the triangle guy, he's credited as Mr. Sticks. I wonder what that means.

this was a monstrously "blah" ep, combined with one of the "blah"-est Braks I've ever seen (and I LIKE the show) I would have been disappointed if not for the uber-cool BigO finale

I dug the alterna-world animation tho, it reminded me of the Shake prelim. art on AS.com

It was him. I mentioned it several posts earlier.

No. That's why Steve made fun of him last week.

Does that mean that the Dr. Weird's segments have some continuity?

Why does CN air acquired series in production order, but neglect to do the same for it's own series?

Dunno, must be one of those mysteries of life. Or it could just have a simple explanation.

I think its got upper-management written all over it.
