Post-Finale Update: So that was delectably epic.

This Sunday at 11: 45 p.m. ET, the rolling, clueless glob better known as Meatwad enters our Meatspace. Sort of. He’ll appear as, erm, an exercise ball, as seen above. In celebration of the season finale, Aqua Teen Hunger Force is airing its first ever live-action episode during its six seasons on [adult swim]. Vocoder rapper, T-Pain, will portray Frylock, the show’s patient, levitating box of French fries. Red Alert: TP’s neck blingee features Mooninites. This fall, T-Pain will also play The Ghost of Spring Break, alongside Lil’ Wayne, Andy Samberg, and Rick Ross, on the [adult swim] special The Return of Freaknik, an animated ode to Atlanta’s infamous ass-bash. Check out the rude and ridic trailer.

Rounding out the cast for Sunday’s Force is cool comedian H. Jon Benjamin (Human Giant, Demitri Martin) as Master Shake and possibly our fave: open audition-winner, Dave Long Jr., as the wife-beater-lovin’ human disgrace known as Carl Brutananadilewski. Pictures and the esoteric episode synopsis after the jump…

Plot Synopsis: T-Pain, Jon Benjamin and Dave Long Jr. star in the first-ever live-action episode of Aqua Teen Hunger Force.  All hell breaks loose when the animated Aqua Teens find out there’s fire in the water.  As each member begins to burst into flames, the episode takes an abrupt turn when Master Shake’s live-action alter ego, Don Shake, can’t figure out how to finish the episode’s script.

Also, if you weren’t luck enough to attend—like us! /Film tried, really!—the [adult swim] Upfront party in New York earlier this month, you can find a gallery of photos here. The gist: T-Pain performed live at the Nokia Theater—practically a given at this point—the Pabst was plentiful, there was a “Wacky Gator” game, and questionable food courtesy of Carl’s Nutz-and-Weinerz (”wiener” misspelling their’s/Steve-O’s).

At the end of this trailer, you’ll find a breakdown of Upfront announcements about returning shows, new acquisitions (The Office UK), and new shows like Frankenhole.

  • i feel that they could of added some body hair on Dave to make him a little more like Carl but this looks amazing and is going to be an amazing wrap up to a pretty dern good season of Aqua Teen.
  • The Drizzle
    Dana Snyder should have been left in as Master Shake. D. Snyde is the only true Masta Shake!!!

    I am the The Drizzle!
  • Ross
    But the guy they have now is Coach McGuirk...
  • Fir3Wolf
    This should be interesting. Big fan of the show so I want to see how this live action deal turns out.
    Love Meatwad being and exercise ball lol.
  • Zinc
    I'm so confused.
  • Infrafan
    Been waiting for this for a while and it's almost here. H. Jon Benjamin + Anything = Awesome, but H. Jon Benjamin + ATHF = (BOOM). And the new shows sound great, in particular Frankenhole. Since Morel Oral's been (unfairly) gone, I've been needing some new Dino in my life.
  • Who would play meatwad??
  • yes, i wonder! if only there was an article i could find about this specific episode that gave that information! MORE IMPORTANTLY, WHO WILL PLAY FRYLOCK?
  • Movieathome
    I haven't really like cartoon network in a while. All the good shows, like Moral Orel, get canceled and whats left is just weird and unfunny (Tom Goes to the Mayor, Superprison, etc.). I like ATHF, but this sound more like Tom Goes to the Mayor than ATHF. I wish they stop with the live action/partial live action stuff as almost all of that has been awful.
  • dagreenman18
    This could be a lot of fun. I'll tune in.
  • movieatyourotherhome
    Tom Goes to the Mayor is an old cartoon network show... has been off the air for a while. Repeats only, and they repeat because they're genius.
  • I will never understand the appeal of the Tom and Eric guys, let alone their "genius".
  • ahem....Tim and Eric, not Tom and Eric. and Tom Goes to the Mayor is indeed pretty old. also @Movieathome its called Super Jail not Superprison. and its also amazing.
  • Alex
    If Tom Goes to the Mayor is unfunny, nothing in this world is funny.

    I'm looking forward to this. ATHF is awesome. An exercise ball playing Meatwad is also awesome.
  • I am so excited for this. Who's going to play Meatwad though!? The next season is going to be just as great. Maybe better. Probably. Morel Orel was put back on the air for all of you that miss it (I did too).

    ATHF = LIFE!
  • meatwaduprising
    can you read? it is in the first sentence and there is a picture.
    meatwad is played by an exercise ball!!!
  • Ella
    Isn't it funny how many people who are either blind or can't read posted here?!
  • krystena
    I'm watchin it now...i had to find a site just to comment...the guy that play master shake is a freakin tool and totally shames the character...he should be killed
  • krystena
    also...Tim and Eric is the worst damn show on AS...they should also be killed
  • nomorepeopleplease
    i just watched it. don shake? don't get it never will. i agree with the other guy when i say he was a tool and is in no way like shake. and t-pain is a piece of shit. cannot believe they would cast him. i love aqua teen but that was just horrible.
  • Tom Janison
    I thought overall this episode was just brilliant. Great cast it turned out so amazing. This live action did everything it could to stay true to the animation but still making that gap, I'm very impressed.
  • gHANgis JUan
    WOULDVE BEEN AWESOME IF FRY WAS A TOTAL ASSHOLE LIKE THE TOON OVERALL PRETTY GOOD AND HONESTLY I FUCKING HATE THIS SHOW SO THAT SPEAKS FOR ITSELF
    SORRY IF ANYONE GETS THE IMPRESSION THAT IM SCREAMING IM TOTALLY NOT I JUST LOVE CAPS CAUSE MY WORDS ARE BIGGER THAN EVERYONE ELSE'S TAKE THAT SOCIETY WITH YOU RULES AND LAWS
  • JDed
    Loved animated Carl's closing line, "They truly were...an Aqua Teen Hunger Force."
  • fsdsfd
    this show sucks. XAVIER: RENEGADE ANGEL and 12 OZ MOUSE are the only good original shows adult swim has ever aired, fact.
  • wakka wakka
    i think that comment speaks for itself.
