    I thought that this was an excellent episode of "Aqua Teen Hunger Force". The only thing was that I wish Carl could've been a clown longer because it was so gosh darn hilarious. Carl turns into a clown in the 3-4 minutes of this episode but this episode is called "The Clowning" so he shouldn't been a clown longer. Anyways, Carl gets a new head of hair and didn't want to wait to show it off to the Aqua Teen Hunger Force so he showed it to them. Frylock has been noticing that Carl's hair is acting really strange. Carl's hair turned red and then Carl gets CLOWNED. Also, Meatwad turns into a clown because Carl's clown hair fell on Meatwad which was hilarious. Carl also earning some sex with that woman because of that wig was funny. Shake wanting to watch Carl have sex with that women through Carl's window was very funny. Shake's part throughout this entire episode was very funny. Like I said in the beginning of the review, I was laughing so dang hard when Carl become a clown especially when he has the big feet. The very ending of the episode with Frylock and Shake being elderly and never figuring outabout Carl as a clown from the past was funny. Overall, a gosh darn hilarious episode of "Aqua Teen Hunger Force" that definitely brings a lot of good laughs. 10/10moreless

    In this classic episode of aqua teen, Carl is somehow infected with an alien virus that turns people into clowns (and his house is being eaten by termites). He starts out with long red hair as he only symptom, but as the disease gets worse, he ends up with long blue hair, which he shows off to a hooker while playing air guitar in the episodes funniest moment. Eventually, the disease reaches its final stages and carls feet grow to massive proportions, he gets a clown nose, his hair turns to clown hair and he can only speak by using a squeeky clown horn. This episode has several funny quotes which include "Thats the last time I send for a package with the word 'Congo' written in blood".moreless

    This episode was like one of the funniest episodes made by Aqua Teen Hungerforce.I liked it when it showed Frylock and Shake in the future and Carl was a hanger and Meatwad was a clown and he was old.I liked it when Carl was pretending he was playing the guitar and his hair was like flying when he was moving.I really loved this episode and it was a very funny episode in the Aqua Teen Hungerforce funny episode list.I really loved this episode and it was a very funny episode.The ending was the funniest ending of all time of this show.moreless

    • The Aqua Teens are all shocked when the toilet brush Shake throws explodes, yet they have all thrown things in other episodes and weren't shocked. Edit

    • While Carl is juggling the things Shake throws to him a chainsaw and we hear sounds of pain but when Carl comes out of the room he is fine.

      Edit
    • Just for the sake of argument... why of all places would people be rioting in front of and trying to get into the Aqua Teen's house? Not to mention, if it's the only thing left standing on a giant mushroom type piece of land, how did they get up on it? Edit

    • Carl: You're really special, and I'm not sayin' that just because you're a whore! Edit
    • Clown Carl: (Using a horn as his voice, his words reading as captions as he holds a balloon shaped shotgun to his face) Please God... kill me! Edit
    • (Carl's frozen body falls to the ground) Master Shake: That coatrack just broke. Frylock: What? Edit

  • Allusions

    ADD ALLUSIONS
    • Carl: Balloon shotgun put to own head
      Carl putting the balloon shotgun to his head is similar to the scientist in the 1986 version of The Fly putting the shotgun to his head, wanting to be put out of his mutated misery. It could also be a reference to the Stephen King story "Weeds", also known as "The Lonesome Death of Jody Verrill." Edit
    • Carl: It's called "I wanna rock your body"...
      This is a fairly obscured reference that doesn't technically denote any one song, as many songs exist with the line "I wanna rock your body ('til the break of dawn)" in them. But Carl said that he wrote that. Edit
