    I thought that this was an excellent episode of "Aqua Teen Hunger Force". This definitely had a lot of weird and wacky humor in this episode. Shake was hilarious in this episode and same thing goes Meatwad and Frylock. Too bad Carl was absent in this episode because he sure would've made this episode funnier if he appeared in this episode. Frylock finds a treasure map so the Aqua Teen Hunger Force (Frylock, Meatwad, and Shake) have a treasure hunt in their front yard and dig to make a hole and find the treasure. After they finished digging, Shake went deep inside the hole to find the treasure but happens to uncover a delicious, possessed, and evil submarine sandwich called "Broodwich". Shake eating that "Broodwich" and then that bandage looking dude with an axe coming after Shake was absolutely hilarious. Shake wanting to eat the "Broodwich" even though it was evil is also very funny and entertaining to watch. Shake shoving the "Broodwich" inside Meatwad's mouth and then Meatwad telling to Shake that the bandage looking dude with an axe is nice if you took the chance to know him was funny but Meatwad was lying to Shake about it so Shake can go back. The very ending with Shake passing the test with the "Broodwich" was very funny. Shake getting axed by that bandage looking dude at the very end of the episode is also funny. Overall, an excellent episode of "Aqua Teen Hunger Force". 10/10moreless

  • My favorite Aqua Teen Hunger Force episode! If you haven't seen this episode, don't read this unless you want spoilers.

    Okay, I'll start off describing this episode. First, Frylock "finds" a treasure map and Shake gets it. Frylock was trying to get Shake to plant some azalea bushes. But Shake digs up the whole yard and busts a gas line. He hits a sinkhole and falls into a place filled with skulls. He hears a voice telling him to come to it and taste the future. Then he finds a free sandwich. But not an ordinary sandwich. It is the Broodwich. Shake keeps eating it and goes to some other dimension/place or something where this guy tries to kill him with an axe. No matter how much he tries, Shake can't seem to stop eating the Broodwich. If he eats it all, he'll die. So he tries to get Meatwad to eat it. When he returns, he says Jerry took him to see Merry Christmas(a.k.a. the strip club Merry Triple X-Mas.) Shake hears of this and eats the sandwich. When he gets to that other dimension/place, Jerry is having a conversation with some guy that looks like a triangle. They have some long conversation while Shake eats the sandwich. When he finishes, Jerry tries to kill him with an axe, but Shake is sent out of that dimension/place to home. Shake didn't eat the sundried tomatoes because he said they were disgusting , so he picked them off. Shake goes back to watching T.V. when the evil voice says that he fended off the last temptation of the Broodwich and he wins a prize.Shake will not accept the prize, marrying a bag of bones. The voice, again, says that he fended off the very last temptation of the Broodwich and wins free brain surgery. Shake gets the surgery and the voice tempts him to eat the tomatoes. Then Jerry gets Shake with his axe.(Don't worry, Shake doesn't die, as he appears in later episodes, obviously.)

    This episode was superb! My favorite line was Shake saying "Holy Crap in a Pita!" I recommend this to all ATHF fans. Wondering why this is a 9.9 instead of a 10.0. Well, the long conversation with Jerry and that triangle guy was a little boring. Had that conversation been shortened, this would be a 10.0 episode. Overall, The Broodwich has many great lines, a great plot, and great new characters.

    Sorry that took so long.moreless

    Well, Aqua Teen didn't do it, but the Simpsons did. Homer had a doughnut he sold his soul for and he left one small peice of it to save himself. Hugely funny, but Like I said, I've seen this plot before. Sadly couldn't give it a perfect 10, cause Aqua Teen should be random enough to keep it's plots original.

    By LtAgathon, Aug 06, 2006
    This was the first episode of Aqua Teen that I ever sat through and is the main reason I love this show so much now. I find Shake to be a hilarious character and I could totally relate, sadly enough, to the desire to eat that sandwich. I love sandwiches. I'm like Joey but not as dumb, yes I just made a "Friends" reference, and yet I somehow gain no weight. But I digress... This has to be my favorite Aqua Teen of all time. You have the essentials: Shake being a moron as usual, an evil sandwich and the lingering desire to eat said sandwich.moreless

FILTER BY TYPE

  • TRIVIA (7)

    ADD TRIVIA

    • Added to the trivia about Shake not functioning without the brain; he didn't have his brain removed. Brain surgery is surgical alteration of the brain, while leaving it (in this case somewhat) in tact.

    • After Shake got the brain surgery, he shouldn't have been able to eat the tomatoes because the body cant work without the brain.

    • The "Broodwich" episode is a direct tribute to indie animator Don Hertzfeldt, whose surreal comedy films were an influence on the show's creators.

    • How the hell did Shake dig up almost the entire front yard in about 10 seconds or so?

    • When Shake reappears from finishing the entire sandwich, we see a napkin with the tomatos appear too on the floor. Wait a second... when in the entire time we saw him eating the sandwich did he ever pick something off?

    • Based on the way the water is shooting up, shouldn't it be putting out the fire from the gas line?

    • Meatwad says that he smells honey baked ham, but the voice says that there are no swine evil enough to go on the sandwich.

  • QUOTES (14)

    ADD QUOTES

    • Shake: (to Frylock) Why does everything have to be a federal case with you?

    • (Balloons and confetti suddenly pop out) The Voice: Congratulations! You passed the test! You fended off the Last Temptation of the Broodwich! Shake: Really?! Hey, what do I win? (Cut back to underneath the Aqua Teen's house. A skeleton is dressed up in a bride's grown) Shake: Hell, no, I'm not marrying this bag of bones! The Voice: Seriously? Shake: Yes. Seriously... (Pause. Then, balloons and confetti pop out again) The Voice: ...alright! Congratulations! I know that I said the last one was it, but THAT was the Last Temptation of the Broodwich! You passed again! You're somethin' else! Shake: Yes I am! What do I win now? The Voice: Free brain surgery! Shake: That's what I'm talking about, baby!!... Hey, wait a minute... (Flashes to a drooling and dumbfounded Shake with stitches in his head from a lobotomy, holding the sun-dried tomatoes) The Voice: Now eat 'em! (He eats them. Cut back to the other dimension. Mr. Sticks holds his axe, and brings it down on Shake. Before contact is made, credits roll.)

    • Shake: That's funny... this map says there's treasure where you wanted me to plant those stupid Azalia bushes! Frylock: Really? How about that! (Shake grabs a shovel and darts for the door) Frylock: And remember, Shake! Don't dig more than... twelve to fourteen inches!

    • Shake: Not a problem! I have it licked! ...and I would like to lick... that sandwich...

    • Master Shake: (To meatwad)Touch those agian and your G.I. Joes are gonna be M.I.A.

    • Master Shake: Holy crap in a pita!

    • Jerry: So I dunno, she's like, "Move your skulls to the basement 'cause I got these drapes." I don't even get that. I'm like "Honey, this is work." I can't... Mr. Sticks: Are you serious? Jerry: Yeah, I can't put 'em in the f"%*ing basement. I mean... Mr. Sticks: No... No... Jerry: And she's like, "Y'know, could you put a tarp over 'em also?" Mr. Sticks: Oh, no way... Jerry: And I just felt like, "No... I'm not... %"&$, damn it!" Mr. Sticks: I got one at home just like it, man. Yeah, and I got a kid now and so... Jerry: Oh, that's a whole other set of bull$%&#, I'm sure. Mr. Sticks: Right, so Cathy puts the coats up right next to my preserved brain collection, and she wants me to move 'em because she thinks it's not hygenic. Jerry: I don't understand how there's such a lack of appreciation for that backlight coming through the glass of the jars that the brains are in, and it just looks cool. Mr. Sticks: You've seen that? Jerry: Why move it? That's the point of putting it next to the window. I'm sure you've explained that to Cathy, but she honestly doesn't get it. Mr. Sticks: Right, because it's... Yeah... But there's no, y'know... I can't even argue with it. Jerry: Ugh, f$%*ing ridiculous. Mr. Sticks: So that's why I move to it... (sees Shake) Mr. Sticks: Hey isn't that that guy? Shake: So what's with the toilet seat, right? Jerry: OHH WHAT THE F@&%!!! (picks up his axe) Shake: JERRY, NO WE'RE COOL!!!

    • The Voice: It is the Broodwich. Forged in darkness from wheat harvested in hell's half acre. Baked by Beelzebub. Slathered with mayonnaise beaten from the evil eggs of dark chicken force-fed to dogs by the hands of a one eyed mad man. Cheese boiled from the rancid teat of fanged cow. Layered with 666 separate meats from an animal, which has maggots for blood. Frylock: See, told ya. Shake: I tasted mustard. The Voice: Yeah... Dijon mustard. Shake: Well... how come no bacon? The Voice: Bacon is extra!

    • Shake: Are you the guy who keeps telling me to beware? Cause I'll tell you where to be! Outta' my sight!

    • Frylock: (Inside the hole with Shake) The Broodwich. Meatwad: (Outside) ...The blue witch? Frylock: No, the Broodwich, Meatwad! Meatwad: Wait? Wait, say what? Frylock: Broodwich! Meatwad: The Blair Witch is here!? Frylock: No, Meatwad. The Broodwich! Shake: I'll tell you what it is, friends. It's shut up and let me eat it.

    • Dr. Weird: Gentlemen, there is a chance, this will work! Steve: Actually, you said this would never work... (Dr. Weird is getting a barbecue sauce enema) Dr. Weird: ...FOOL, THIS WILL NEVER WORK!!!

    • (Meatwad reappears) Shake: Hey hey hey! How'd you like Mr. Sticks? He was a real treat, wasn't he? Meatwad: Yeah, Jerry said you guys had a little run-in but, he's a decent guy I'm mean, once you get to know him. Shake: Bull crap! I know that guy, was all over you with his axe! Meatwad: No that don't sound like Jerry. Now the Jerry I know, took me to "Merry Christmas." ...Which is a strip club! Merry Triple-X-Mas. You see what I'm saying? You see- Shake: Gimmie that sandwich! (Shake falls on the sandwich mouth first and vanishes) Frylock: Wow, so you're saying it was fun? Meatwad: Hell no! That son bitch had an axe!

    • Meatwad: Look at him, he's dumb as hell. Frylock: He sure is. Meatwad: I dumb too. But I mean, you knew that though, yeah? Because I did send out a press release. I ate a bunch of them. I'm dumb... dumb!

    • Shake: I haven't payed taxes in six years. And I'm not gettin' busted by a sandwich!

  • NOTES (3)

    ADD NOTES

    • The was one of the highest rated episodes in this season's run of the show.

    • Opener - Dr Weird tries to inflate himself with barbecue sauce. Steve doesn't think it will work.

  • ALLUSIONS (4)

    ADD ALLUSIONS

    • Hell's Half Acre When the Voice describes the sandwich: "Forged in darkness from wheat harvested in Hell's Half Acre..." Hell's Half Acre is the title of a novel by Will Christopher Baer, involving the ongoing tale of an ex-cop/junkie and a gorgeous female organ thief.

    • The Voice: Layered with 666 different meats from an animal with maggots for blood.
      The number "666" is denoted as "the number of the beast" according to the book of Revelations in the Christian Holy Bible.

    • Meatwad: All them Battlestar Earth plastic drink cups.
      A funny reference to the horrible film Battlefield Earth: A Saga of the Year 3000.

    • Meatwad: The Blair Witch is here?!
      A quick and funny reference to the character three students did a documentary on in the film The Blair Witch Project.
