Aqua Teen Hunger Force: Volume 3 (DVD)

While each season of ATHF has its gems and usually a couple of clunkers, this just may be my favorite season. 'The Clowning' may be my favorite episode ever, and 'Total Recarl' and 'The Last One' are right up there as well. 'Revenge of the Trees', 'The Cloning', 'Broodwitch', 'The Cubing', and 'The Shaving' are also all very, very weird and wonderful. Overall, the series has worn off a just bit for me from when I was first blown away by it's sheer dada-esque insanity, but the best episodes still transcend to inspired, sublime levels of bizarre, gross, tweaked humor, leaving you both laughing out loud and shaking your head at the audacity and bravery of the storytelling. When your starting premise is a giant talking shake, fries, and wad of meat living in suburban New Jersey, USA how wrong can you go? If you like strange, gonzo humor (Monty Python would be my generation's touchstone) and/or out-there adult animation, you owe it to yourself to give this a try -- and give it a couple of episodes to let your head get into what the creators are doing.

This is the third of the Aqua Teen DVD sets, and while not quite up the extremely high standards of volume one, is better than volume two with the presence of some great episodes and extras. I particularly like "The Clowning" (there is nothing as funny as Carl with a sweet mullet), "Spirit Journey Formation Anniversary" (with hilarious musical guest Zakk Wylde playing metal bluegrass with robotic scorpions), and "The Last One," which features almost all villains encountered in the show to date (except the Mummy.) The episodes are great, as are the extras on this set. There are commentaries for several shows, a couple of great deleted scenes (I like the "Broodwich" outtake especially), an interesting (but too long) short film on the making of "The Cloning," several script page features, and assorted other bonuses. The commentaries are more rambling dialogue and less about the show than I would have liked, but they are still interesting to hear. This is a great set of episodes from one of the most original television shows to come along in years, and I recommend it highly.

Dear Amazon Shopper, This season is perhaps the defining season of ATHF and is a prime example of unadulterated comedy. The opening sequence of Grim Reaper Gutters is the most classic ATHF moment you will ever experience. Revenge of the trees is also laden with dry and often unexpected humor that might even verge on satire if the show took itself seriously (e.g. when the trees use Carl's skin for post-it notes). This season has episodes that aren't spectacular (Spirit Journey Formation Anniversary comes to mind), but the occasional hiccup is far outweighed by the mass of comedic delight this series has to offer. Bottom line, if you like to laugh, look no further than ATHF Vol.3 (until you're done with this season, then you should probably go buy more).

A must have if you love The Team.

If you do not know this seriously disturbed "cartoon" then approach with caution. Radiation in New Jersy transformed these roommates into a Milkshake who gets on everyone's nerves with a squeaky voice and selfish and hateful attitude. Another is a meat ball or Meatwad, mindless meat who believes anything he is told. The leader is a super size order of fries with a game piece on his back, he is called Fry like the guy in Futurama. Not for everyone, the next door neighbor, Carl is an obese shut in who works from the home 20hrs a week and never leaves the home except to get prostitute when he has the money, he is a chronic masterbater and alcoholic who never changes his sweat pants and sits in front of an old projection tv with a can can his chair. Carl is the most "normal" character. You are warned. Don't even ask about Squidbillies, that one is just mean and hateful, and so funny. Delivered on time.

About the previous two collections of ATHF episodes I said the following: Watching an episode (all under 12 min) of Aqua Teen Hunger Force is comparable to hours of meditation. There are few shows that will clear your mind and cheer you up this well. However the show is not well appreciated by those who attempt to understand it. Out of all the episodes I have seen over the years, I recall only one where the plot actually achieved resolution. Additionally, the program might not be enjoyed by some because a certain level of understanding and amusement for the eccentricities of Bridge and Tunnel Trash (residents of New Jersey) is required. The relationships and interactions of the main characters and their neighbor provide a wonderful barometer against which to measure your own friendships. All told its wonderful programing. That is all still true, but the reviewers who hint at the waning quality of the episodes are correct...to some extent, the writers period of faltering is evident here, but the episodes that follow this collection show less of the 'faltering' exemplified here.

I adore this show, have since I was a teenager.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this DVD set. It’s a must have for Aqua Teen Hunger Force fans. I’m very pleased with the purchase.

DVD is scratch free and came a day early, no complaints here!

Woot, woot!

was afraid it would be a repackaging cause i only got repackagings for seasons 1 and 2 since they are hard to find the originals. im glad this one is the original because the art in the box is awesome. the only reason im giving it 3 stars is cause my set has a slash on the outer box in the back over the barcide so i think it was ententional and if so why not just use a permanant marker to cross it out if its for legal reasons. doesnt damage the box as much and now instead of it being a slice that you can still read the bard code on. its only on the cardbard out box but it is still part of the set

they said used so i get that,but the boxes were in bad shape but the DVD's were good.
