    I thought that this was an excellent Halloween-themed episode of "Aqua Teen Hunger Force". This Halloween was sure hilarious as heck if you ask me. Any fans or anyone that wants to watch a hilarious Halloween episode then watch this Halloween-themed Aqua Teen Hunger Force episode "The Shaving". It is Halloween and Frylock and Meatwad get into their costumes. Meatwad being purple throughout this entire episode as his Halloween costume was funny. A monster named Willie Nelson comes down from the attic (to get mail?) and is unable to scare anyone. He reveals a gruesome secret to Frylock, Shake, and Meatwad. Shake then decides to teach Willie Nelson (the monster) how to scare Carl. Shake trying to show Willie how to scare Carl was hilarious. Shake and Willie's prank backfiring when Carl and Meatwad always get them back on step ahead before they do was very funny. Shake throwing Meatwad at Carl in order to scare him was funny. Carl throwing Meatwad at Shake to get him back from earlier was very funny. Willie now being a very good monster was hilarious. The very ending with Willie finally scaring everyone by intimidating everyone and cutting off Carl's arm was hilarious. Overall, a hilarious Halloween-themed episode of "Aqua Teen Hunger Force" that will surely bring you a ton of laughs. 10/10moreless

    This is one of my favorite episodes. It is halloween, and the aqua teens are having a normal halloween until a spider/onion creature named Willie Nelson comes down from their attic. Willie is a monster, but is friendly and seemingly harmless, so Shake tries to toughen him up. Nothing works until Willie takes them up to their attic. I won't spoil what happens next, but it is gruesome, disturbing, and probably the most unexpected moment of the series. I loved how Willie kept trying to follow Shakes orders but just couldn't seem to be scary. Carl is a tad mean in this episode, but don't worry, he gets what's coming to him. See it right now, because its a great episode.moreless

  • Trivia

    ADD TRIVIA
    • When Meatwad says "Hey Carl", his mouth isn't moving. Also, in the very beginning of the episode, when he begins his speech about, "You won't like me when I'm angry.", his mouth doesn't move until later in the line. Edit
    • The sword Shake is holding in the beginning is the same sword used in the end of "Dumber Dolls". Edit
    • "Most especially woman.. and you want to make a suit from them" alludes to American serial killer Ed Gein, who murdered women and fashioned their skin into a suit (as well as using various body parts for furniture and eating utensils). Some characters inspired by Ed Gein include Texas Chainsaw Massacre character Leatherface and Buffalo Bill in Silence of the Lambs. Edit

  • Notes

    ADD NOTES
    • The first of 7 episodes of Season 2 to use the word "The" in the title. Edit
    • Shake Says, "What I say is very baffling!" this was one of Shake's lines when the ATHF took over Space Ghost Coast to Coast in the episode "baffler meal". Edit
    • For this episode, the animation team originally had Meatwad green in the whole episode. They had to painstakingly change it all to purple later for legal reasons. Edit

    • Meatwad: Hey Carl. Carl: (Looks at Willie Nelson) Whose this, your frickin' mother? Edit
    • Meatwad and Carl: BOO! (They start laughing until they realize the carnage around them) Meatwad: What the? Carl: Oh, God! Willie: JUICE! (Willie slices off Carl's arms and starts drinking the spraying blood, he looks to see the horrified looks on the Aqua Teens' Faces, Carl is still screaming in the background) Oh! I'm sorry, did you want some? (the teens close the door to the attic and begin to nail it shut) Uhh... guys? Edit
    • Shake: You are the gayest monster since gay came to gaytown! Edit

  • Allusions

    ADD ALLUSIONS
    • Shake: Nice head. I think I'll take it. This is a reference to a tagline of the movie Mars Attack. Edit
    • Listen Carefully: There is a Spongebob reference in the DVD commentary, about green and burple burgers. This could be a possible reference to Spongebob's Episode, Pretty Patties. Spongebob sold Pretty patties, which were a variety of colors, including green and purple Edit
    • Shake: What are you supposed to be, Onion of Arabia?
      A quick and witty reference to the classic film, Lawrence of Arabia. Edit
