'''''Aqua Teen Hunger Force''''' is an animated series on [[Adult Swim]] that later gained a cult following. It features low-budget bad animation, so it comes as no surprise to see that Chris likes it, even if he probably doesn't get many of the jokes.


Skeet is the god of eternity at the McSpanky's fast food restaurant. Skeet calls everyone, "dude," and claims to be smart, but others see him as dim-witted. However, McSpanky's came to life and tried to destroy every other food joint and Skeet did not run away. When the restaurant was shot at the sun, the Space Bandits found the place and turned it into a spaceship. Believing that Skeet was the one responsible for this awesome technology, they vowed to find him and exploit his great wisdom, which they never did, for some reason.
Chris wasn't always a fan of the series. In a [[2005]] post on the [[Adult Swim posts|Cartoon Network forums]], he said that he enjoyed all of Adult Swim's shows "except ATHF," although he didn't explain why. He later started to like it, including the bizarre [[Old Time Rock and Roll on Shredwud]] music video. However, he seems to have gone off it around [[2010]] according to [[Vivian_Gee_E-mails,_2010#Are_you_doing_anything.3F_.E2.80.94_21_January|Vivian Gee E-Mails]], comparing its decline to [[Alec]]'s "Blood and Gore."


Skeet, initially called upon as Skeetui Yoshimato, was raised in an exceedingly poor rice village in southern Koyushu. His grandfather was a war trained assassin who was tasked to eliminate U.S operatives. Although Skeetu's grandfather was Japanese, he was fluent in American English. This is why "Skeet" sounds like a typical American teenage boy. After many years of vigorous katana training on Mt. Fuji, Skeet traveled to the United States of America in hopes of beginniing a new life, honoring his ancestors in the process. Skeetui wanted to experience the American Dream, and thought working in fast food would be a good place to start. So, after moving to Retroville, Skeetui earned a job position as the cashier at McSpanky's. Soon, through hard work and dedication, he became employee of the month. This was an achievement unparalleled by any employee of McSpanky's. When Jimbo and two of his friends walked in and talked about getting a job at the restaurant, Skeetui made a seemingly irrational move by hiring the boys. However, Skeetui was a man who wanted to give these younger children an opportunity to straighten themselves out. Initially, two of his new employees worked well considering their age. However, Jimbo gave Skeetui trouble in a now-notorious incident in which Jimbo claimed to be smarter than the cash register, therefore stating he didn't need to use it. But, the cash register is used for tracking purposes, validating Skeetui's discontent with Jimbo. Later that night, Jimbo would sneak into McSpanky's and would commit vandalism by changing the interior to appear futuristic. As if this weren't the worst case, Jimbo also attached rockets to the restaurant, launching it into the air. As the restaurant was taking off, Skeetui was bravely saving the lives of men, women, and children alike by line backing them off the premise. However, time was very limited, causing the demise of our hero who, soon after, ascended into godhood.

Aqua Teen Hunger Force is fun to watch, because it's so stupid.
Just like someone we know.
The Aqua Teens in Sonichu #0. Notice Master Shake and Frylock on the table, and the caption "The bun is in your mind" was Meatwad's catchphrase from the Space Ghost: Coast to Coast episode that featured ATHF. Also visible is "Ce-Lad," a salad character created by Chris, according to Jackie Chat 2.
Chris's "Shredwud" gitar, which he later sold to a troll on eBay.

Aqua Teen Hunger Force is an animated series on Adult Swim that later gained a cult following. It features low-budget bad animation, so it comes as no surprise to see that Chris likes it, even if he probably doesn't get many of the jokes.

Chris wasn't always a fan of the series. In a 2005 post on the Cartoon Network forums, he said that he enjoyed all of Adult Swim's shows "except ATHF," although he didn't explain why. He later started to like it, including the bizarre Old Time Rock and Roll on Shredwud music video. However, he seems to have gone off it around 2010 according to Vivian Gee E-Mails, comparing its decline to Alec's "Blood and Gore."
