Aqua Teen Hunger Force (often abbreviated as ATHF or Aqua Teen), retitled Aqua Unit Patrol Squad 1 (or AUPS1) in 2011, is an American animated television series on Cartoon Network's late night programing block, Adult Swim, as well as Teletoon's Teletoon at Night block and later G4 Canada's ADd block in Canada. It is one of the spin-offs of Space Ghost Coast to Coast, and as of 2012, the longest running original series on Adult Swim, as well as the only remaining original series continuously airing since the program block launched in 2001. It originally premiered in a block with three other original Williams Street series in December 2000, before Adult Swim officially debuted; the others were Sealab 2021, The Brak Show, and Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law.
The show is about the adventures of three anthropomorphic fast food items—Master Shake, Frylock and Meatwad—and their next-door neighbor, Carl Brutananadilewski, who used to live in the suburbs of southern New Jersey but have since moved to an identical neighborhood in Seattle, Washington. While the series initially gave no explanation as to the characters' origins, the 2007 feature film Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theaters revealed that they were created by an anthropomorphic watermelon slice as part of a plot to inherit their accumulated real estate holdings once the characters inevitably killed each other.
Defaced you stand
A single nobody in a mindless crowd
Surrounded by a system
Where corruption triumphs
Here every suspended solid
Rests on top of our affliction
Grieving silence
A lament to our own death!
Shut down your eyes and ears
Protect them from the truth
Avoid reality to suit your pitiful life
An alliance of deception
A conformist masterplan!
Grieving silence
A lament to our own death!
Ignorance pawn
You care for nothing, but your self
Just for what prosperity demands
But you can smash their greed for power
