    The Good:
    -Master Shake puts Meatwad in the dryer.
    -Meatwad's memo is a drawing of a weird, happy creature.
    The Bad:
    -The gang do not seem to be detectives anymore. Only Frylock makes an honest effort to figure out the mysteries of Meatwad's power.

  • Meatwad gets electrical powers after Shake puts Meatwad in the dryer for week and Meatwad uses the opportunity by getting revenge on Shake

    I thought that this was an excellent episode of "Aqua Teen Hunger Force". It was good to see Meatwad actually get revenge on Shake since he was always been so cruel to Meatwad. Shake really needs to being so selfish and actually be nice for a change. The only thing that bugged me in this episode was when Carl and Frylock were gonna get sucked into the vortex and then Frylock told Shake to not let go of the rope, Shake lets go of it (I'm gonna let it slide but Shake sure does get me mad sometimes and it wouldn't kill to actually be nice). Meatwad getting electrical powers and using them to get revenge on Shake was very funny. Carl getting huge hands after Carl and Frylock return from the vortex was hilarious. Frylock gives Meatwad a balloon that will help him get all of the electricity off of Meatwad but the balloon grows bigger and becomes "Balloonenstein". Everything in this episode was just well executed and it was very funny for the most part. Overall, this was an excellent episode of "Aqua Teen Hunger Force" and I definitely recommend it to anyone that needs a good laugh. 10/10moreless

  • Master Shake traps Meatwad in the dryer and he comes out with electric powers and uses them to hurt Master Shake and get revenge, so Frlock gives Meatwad a balloon to obserb the electricity, but it gets to big, so they go to the beach to catch it.moreless

    Meatwad finally gets revenge on Master Shake! This episode is great, I love this episode. This episode is hilarious, I mean I giggled throughout the whole episode when I saw it for the fist time. I was shocked when I saw Frylock smile. I thought I was dreaming. This episode is filled with laughter. "Look I need your brain so it's just a cavity that keeps you afloat, then all I need you to do is roll around in this broken glass for a little bit, come on it will be fun" is one of my favorite quotes. This episode is awsome.moreless

  • In this episode, Friloc and Carl along with Carl's pool get sucked into another dimension and Shake puts Meatwod in the dryer and gives him a power that he uses to his advantage, they try to take it out by ballooning him, and lets just say it doesnt work.moreless

    I thought this episode to be great because in the end Meatwad gets his revenge for all of the crap that Shake does to him. Funny. For one Meatwad is zapping him all throughout the episode and at the end....He crushes him with his big meat wad power, and carl has big hands too.

  • Meatwad gets electrical powers. I love the power of electricity, and the fact that Meatwad's getting back at Shake.

    Summary: Carl and Frylock get sucked into a vortex, while Shake puts Meatwad in the dryer for about a week (according to Meatwad), but 3 days (according to Shake). Frylock and Carl get out of the vortex, with Carl having huge hands. Meatwad gets electrical powers and uses them to torture Shake and make him get him what he wants. Meatwad winds up killing or injuring everyone he meets(like Carl and Squirrely, his squirrel.) Frylock makes Meatwad get a "Ballonism", which results in creating a Ballonenstein.(an inflated squirrel-shaped ballon with electrical powers. It heads for the beach, where the Teens get an idea to take Meatwad's brain out, put glass in him, and throw him into the ocean so he'll pop Ballonenstein. But he justs floats out there saying "Do what now?" Him and Ballonenstein are sucked into the vortex that sucked up Carl and Fryock. Frylock and Shake are seen in Carl's pool trying to resurrect Meatwad, I guess. Then a large Meatwad comes out asking for popsicles, and he squashes them all.

    Nice episode, though it's not perfect. But, I rarely give something a perfect rating, even though I may come close. Funny lines here:

    Meatwad(to Shake): Where are my popsicles. I require a popsicle every 15 mins., you obviously did not read the memo.

    Meatwad(repeatedly in the ocean): Do what now?

    Shake(to Frylock): Why don't you just marry the vortex if you love it so much?

    Shake: Frylock, they use starfish for money. (referring to Los Braingeles, the sand town he created.)

    Shake(referring to Meatwad): Will this hurt him?
    Frylock: It shouldn't.
    Shake: Then why are we doing it.

    I'll stop there. Don't wanna spoil it too much. Overall, if you are an ATHF fan, you should love this one.

    BTW, the opener shows Steve and Dr. Weird getting sucked up by the vortex, but they never come out. (at least, we don't see it.)

  • TRIVIA (8)

    ADD TRIVIA

    • It is first mentioned (and utilized to some effect) in this episode that the Aqua Teens have a ceiling fan in their living room. The inconsistency is that in later episodes it doesn't appear in the spot it should be in.

    • The brand of dryer Shake tosses Meatwad in is denoted as "MoreMore".

    • In this episode, Shake makes a placesetting for Meatwad and happens to use a plastic utensil set. However, when he is setting it up, a metallic sound is heard, indicating that the sound must have come from something other than plastic utensils.

    • Frylock tells Meatwad to move Shake into the ceiling fan, but in "The Broodwich", the ceiling of the Aqua Teen's house is seen and there is no light, much less, a fan.

    • This is the first time we see the Aqua Teens' dryer.

    • When Frylock takes out Meatwad's brain, it appears to be a normal brain. But in the episode Dumber Days, Meatwad's brain is revealed to be a squeak toy.

    • Frylock smiles for the first time in this episode. This is also the first time we see Frylock's braces (outside of the brief shot during the opening credits).

    • This is the first time that we learn about Meatwad's exciting computer game: Clam Digger.

    • Carl: (Commenting on his pimped out pool) Oh, sweet, sweet nectar; it's like my car is tearin' ass around the backyard! But it's staying still. Still waters run deep.
      Master Shake: Yeah, Carl! Sweet! That is tricked out, my friend. Turbo. Very sweet.
      Carl: You stay away from it because you are weird.

    • (Balloonenstein, a huge balloon is causing an electric storm in the sea. Frylock and Meatwad are trying to destroy it) Frylock: Look. I need to remove your brain so I can create a cavity in you so you can float. Then all I need you to do is roll around in this broken glass for a little bit. (innocent grin) Frylock: C'mon, it'll be fun! Meatwad: WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? Hell, no! (Frylock removes his brain) Meatwad: Oh. I mean, okay!

    • Meatwad, in the dryer: Help me! Frylock: What was that? Master Shake: Oh, those are my talking pants; they say 'help me' every time you try to zip them up, it's very annoying. Frylock: You don't wear pants!

    • Master Shake: Meatwad, it's spaghetti time! Oh, boy! Spaghetti, huh? Meatwad: All right! Spaghetti! Now that's Italian! Master Shake: Yeah, it is! There it is! Eat it! Meatwad: That don't look like no spaghetti at all. Master Shake: (Puts TV cord on plate with silverware) There, now it's spaghetti. Now eat it. Meatwad: This noodle's black...and it's hooked up to the TV set. Master Shake: Put it in your mouth, come on! Meatwad: You're messin' with me, aren't you? Master Shake: Oh, you're right. I'm very sorry. The real spaghetti got wet when I was boiling it, so it's in the dryer. Meatwad: Well why didn't you say so, it's probably done by now. Let's get it!

    • Meatwad: Can opener!

    • Frylock: I need your brain. Meatwad: For what? I need my brain!

    • Frylock: How long were you in that dryer? Meatwad: Like a week! Master Shake: No, it was like 3 days. It wasn't a week!

    • Master Shake: Yeah, Carl! Sweet! That is tricked out my friend. Turbo! Very sweet. Carl: You stay away from it because you are weird.

    • Meatwad: Where are my popsicles? Frylock: Damn! Shake: Is that you, God?

    • Shake: Why don't you marry the vortex if you love it so much?

    • Meatwad: Everybody hates me because they die or get hurt. Well Squirrelly doesn't hate me, he loves me. Where's my buddy Squirrelly? Frylock: Oh here he is. (Hands Meatwad the squirrel) I found him faceup in the hallway after your last little hug. Meatwad: Squirrelly no! Squirrelly... Squirrelly. Frylock: Yeah, I think you better stop huggin' him now, he's startin' to smoke. Meatwad: NO!!!

    • Meatwad: Do not insult what little intelligence I have.

    • Frylock: Dammit, he needs his brain. Otherwise he's just gonna float around forever saying "do what now?" Meatwad: (Off in the distance) Do what now?

    • Frylock: Damn. What dimension was that? CARL! YOUR HANDS! Carl: Yeah, I know, I see them, they're very big. Well it was fun, I'm gonna go take a nap now and then I think I'm gonna call uh... some hospitals.
