    -"Why don't you try a shirt with sleeves if you've got one, Romeo."
    -Meatwad gets hair for Christmas and wears it during "Mail Order Bride."

    I thought that this was an excellent episode of "Aqua Teen Hunger Force". The story was very clever and creative, all of the characters' parts in this episode was absolutely hilarious, and everything was just terrific. Carl and Shake splitting the cost of a Russian mail-order bride as their Christmas present was absolutely hilarious. It was hilarious when Shake and Carl were frightening the Russian mail-order bride and she runs inside Carl's house and locks it which means that Carl is stuck outside of his own house. The Meatwad/Frylock plot was also very funny when Meatwad is waiting for his Christmas present to come and he takes forever. Now this isn't exactly what Meatwad said but he said something close like "Santa Claus better get his fatass over here so I can open my present" was very funny... that's not exactly what he said but it was close to that. Shake and Carl marrying that Russian mail-order bride and then that mail-order bride leaving Carl and Shake at the end of the episode was very funny. Meatwad giving his present to Frylock was very funny. Meatwad cheering up Carl about the Russian mail-order bride by giving him a stick for Christmas was absolutely hilarious at the very end of the episode was absolutely hilarious. Overall, an excellent episode of "Aqua Teen Hunger Force". 10/10moreless

    Spoilers.. maybe.
    Awww, poor misplaced,unloved DJ.
    Well, this episode made me appreciate my Christmas, a heck of a lot more. A pretty funny addition to a hilarious series. Oh,my gosh. To be Svetlana... I would probably choose Shake, life would be easier to cook instead of... 'cook' for Carl. I love the older episodes so much better, since they start with Dr. Weird and Steve. I mean, the space guys are funny, but nobody comes close to Dr. Weird and Steve. I will have to admit, watching this really made me want to buy a hot glue gun. Ha.
    Well, I am off to watch more.moreless

FILTER BY TYPE

  • TRIVIA (12)

    ADD TRIVIA

    • If you watch the scene where time is sped up to forward to Christmas day, you can see Santa pop-up on the roof next to the skyscraper with the pole on top. It's for a split second, so look quickly.

    • If you look closly at Shake during the wedding, his "tuxedo" is attached with bungie chords.

    • Watch the Rudolph wall ornament, whose nose blinks and says "ho." At one point it glitches up and lets out a continuous "hooooooooooo" while its nose stays bright.

    • If the mail order bride is from Chechnya, how come the letter in her hands says "From Russia"?

    • How did they manage to get the two ladders to work in the first place, let alone get Carl across them halfway? (Editors Note: When Carl says "Put the magazine down and hold it with your hands.", you can see that the ladders are loosely tied together with a rope.)

    • When Shake prints off the mail-order bride documents, we see the paper going down, but not really folding into a stack. The paper just keeps feeding down, never folding or growing.

    • A fire burns on top of the deer in the hall when Meatwad lights up the bushes. But come next morning, it hasn't burned down... or even left a burn mark.

    • A halo (what Carl wears after he broke his neck) is drilled into your skull. This makes it so your neck doesn't move much and so it may heal properly. With that in mind... how the hell did he get his tux on without someone helping him?

    • Shake is standing on the roof holding the ladders and can be herd on the roof when Carl falls. The shot then changes to Carl laying on the ground with Shake standing next to him. From their reactions, no time passed between his fall and what we see so how on earth did Shake get to the ground so fast? If he fell, he would have hurt himself and he obviously wasn't hurt. ([b]Editor's Note:[/b] He probably just jumped down. The reason Carl got hurt is because he probably fell on his head. Shake, having jumped down, would land on his feet.)

    • After Carl falls he comes into the house about five minutes later wearing the "halo". How could Carl have gotten that thing installed that quickly?

    • Another thing we need to ask... after Carl falls, where are the two ladders? Shouldn't they have fallen as well?

    • A note to the goof talking about the missing ladders: If you look closely, you can see that the ladders broke in the middle. There is one ladder on each side of the house. They are not missing and they did fall.

  • QUOTES (24)

    ADD QUOTES

    • Master Shake: (To Carl, about the Mail Order Bride) Why don't you try a shirt with sleeves if you've got one, Romeo.

    • Frylock: Oh well, Santa hasn't come yet. Meatwad: Well that old fat man better get his ass in gear!

    • Meatwad: Can I open a present? Frylock: Well I suppose. It is Christmas, I don't see why not. Meatwad: We don't have any presents. That's why not.

    • Meatwad: Maybe Santa is just getting a jump start on Christmas.

    • Shake: It's a gift from me to me for being a good boy.

    • Shake: I leave you here for two seconds and you turn the house into your own personal dumpster.

    • Carl: She'll be sizzilin' like fajita meat.

    • Carl: Does she got the car? Meatwad: Well, technically, it's half hers now, right? Or a third, I don't know.

    • Frylock: By the power vested in me by the state of New Jersey, I now pronounce you men and wife… you may kiss the door.

    • Meatwad: Statistics… they show… that there are more children in the world today… that's China's fault. Frylock: Where do you get this information? Meatwad: Regis.

    • Shake How 'bout that computer he made for ya outta leaves? That was the best!

    • Meatwad: You're gonna love this, too. I made it… 'cause I ain't got no damn money.

    • Carl: Oh! Dammit! Shake: You're alright! Carl: Naw, don't worry about me! I fell two stories! I'm fine.

    • Carl: SHE AIN'T COMIN' ALL THIS WAY TO DO THAT IN AMERICA! Now, we're civilized people, here. (Holds out two string-like articles of clothing) H-here, honey. Just put this on and shake 'em.

    • Shake: Look merry, dammit!

    • Carl: I wanna make sure that both of us marryin' her is gonna be… you know, legal. Shake: Of course it is! What, are you kidding me? Santa Claus ain't legal and he's around! Carl: Yeah, well, I guess that makes sense, ya know…

    • Frylock: This... this is a squiggle. Meatwad: Naw, that's hair… you read it backwards, fool!

    • Meatwad: Carl, I know you're hurtin'… and if it makes you feel any better… merry Christmas. (Hands Carl something) Carl: What is it? Meatwad: It's a stick. Carl: Oh…good.

    • Dr. Weird: Gentlemen, Merry Christmas... to YOU! Steve: (while looking at a giant present) Wow, hey thanks doc! (sees Dr. Weird get into a cage) Hey come on out of that cage and let me give you a big old hug! (the present bears teeth and attacks Steve) AAAHHHH!!! HEY OWWW OUCH AAAHHHHH! Dr. Weird: Hell yes! Take it to the bank, daddy!

    • Carl: Oh man, I cannot wait. I got the oils, the candles, the works! When does that babe get here? Shake: Carl don't refer to her as a babe, please. She is a Czechnian prostitute, and you will address her as such!

    • Carl: (Smells armpits) Ohhhhhhhhhh. Oh boy, that's rotten. I'm gonna take another shower before... the dirtiness. Shake: Yeah why don't you take about five more and while you're at it try a shirt with sleeves if you got one, Romeo.

    • Shake: Wait, don't go anywhere! What's wrong with your printer?!? Frylock: Oh, well sometimes with larger documents it'll get-holy hell! (Shake is printing a large stack of papers) Shake: Yeah, tell me about it? I could chisel it into rock faster than this!

    • Carl: Hey Fryman, you think I could get you to ah, bring your lazer eyes out here and uh... blow a frickin' hole in my wall? Frylock: What's wrong Carl? Carl: Well for starters, she barricaded herself inside my house. And every time I knock she screams at me in this like, language. It's like some demon yelling at me or something.

    • Meatwad: Carl should remember the reason for the season. Shake: Yeah, the reason for the season... is pleasin'. And I haven't gotten too much pleasin'! And Carl had better get his ass with the program!

  • NOTES (6)

    ADD NOTES

    • This is the first episode that has a different song during the credits.

    • The following are items in Meatwad's Christmas wish list. 1. Hair 2. Blow Dryer

    • This is the first episode in which Carl's last name is revealed: Carl Brutananadilweski. (Editor's Note: The way the name should be spelled properly is not revealed until many episodes later, when it is shown clearly on Carl's driver's license. Do not rely on the subtitles for the correct spelling, because they are obviously incorrect as far as this episode is concerned.)

    • Look Hard: There is some Czech writting on the paper the bride holds up. Translated, it roughly means "Obtained Through Legal Circumstances."

    • This is the first time an actual female character is introduced on the show.

    • Opening - Dr. Weird gives Steve a Christmas present... of doom!

  • ALLUSIONS (1)

    ADD ALLUSIONS

    • Mail Order Paper: From Russia with Affektion
      This sentence is writen on top of the paper that Svetlana has when she first arrives. Besides the fact it is spelled wrong, this is statement is a spoof of the James Bond movie From Russia with Love.
