    I thought that this was an excellent episode of "Aqua Teen Hunger Force". This episode probably isn't for kids though because it's pretty violent and it has the TV-14 rating. Carl does get diced up after falling into Frylock's super toiler which is where you see a lot of blood. Also, Meatwad gets his revenge on Shake at the end of the episode which is also violent but no blood was shown in that scene and I'll explain Meatwad's revenge on Shake in a little bit. Anyways, I was laughing very hard in the beginning of the episode when Frylock was trying to convince to go in the environmentally friendly super toilet and then Carl goes on it. Carl using the super toilet outside was hilarious. I was also laughing super hard when Carl fell in the super toilet and got diced. Frylock trying to rebuild a new body for Carl was hilarious. Frylock putting Carl's head in the eyeball body was absolutely hilarious and weird. Carl getting frustrated and coming after Frylock until Frylock unplugged Carl was hilarious. I was also laughing when Carl's body is that toy truck. Meatwad having a giant robotic body and using that opportunity to get revenge on Shake at the very end of the episode was hilarious. I was laughing super hard when Meatwad (in the giant robotic body) throws Shake up in the sky and shoots missile and then Meatwad says "F**k you butthole" was absolutely hilarious and a brilliant way to end the episode. I loved Meatwad's revenge on Shake at the very end of the episode because Shake deserves it for always treating Meatwad so badly. Overall, an excellent episode of "Aqua Teen Hunger Force". 10/10moreless

  • A funny and well-plotted episode, displaying all the randomness that ATHF is known for.

    'Total Recarl' is certainly a well plotted, formulated and performed episode of Aqua Teen Hunger force. It exhibits many of the staples of the show that we have grown to love, such as a myriad of abstract jokes, a story with an uncanny and unique foundation, the display of numerous character traits and several pop-culture references thrown in for good measure.

    One of the many episodes to solely feature the Aqua teens and their neighbor Carl, 'Total Recarl' is a fine example of the chemistry that the creators of the show can concoct when placing the aforementioned four characters in absurd and quirky situations.

    The episode begins with Frylock attempting to converse with Carl, despite his protests and futile attempt to avoid his neighbor, Carl eventually comes to learn that Frylock has erected a large, steel, futuristic toilet on his front lawn. Frylock explains that the toilet will stop water waste, as you use up 3 gallons of water every time you flush. "Oh, the poor children!" Carl exclaims cynically. Eventually, Frylock leaves Carl (with an assortment of protein tablets and other products designed to help move the bowels) and retreats to his room, where he and Meatwad watch Carl go about his business we learn that before Frylock can apply for a patent, the toilet must be tested on humans, thus the reason why he is so eager to have Carl use the contraption.

    Carl does his business and flushes the toilet. The purpose of the flushing device is to disintegrate all human excrement and propel it into the atmosphere. However, the vacuum is too strong and Carl is sucked into the sharp blades.

    What should have tended to his waste, has instead grinded Carl's body into nothingness, only his head remains. The remainder of the episode then focuses on the Aqua Teen's ostentatious attempts to piece Carl back together. They find many replacement bodies including a corpse (which rejects Carl's head), a body made of eyeballs (which works but causes Carl great pain, possibly one of the funniest situations in the episode), a robotic combat suit (realizing their own stupidity, they never activate it) and finally a remote control truck.

    The episode ends with Meatwad, now donning the previously seen combat suit, throwing shake into the air and blowing him up with a barrage of missiles.

    Overall, the episode flows well and has many humorous moments. Not a perfect episode but one that can get you laughing and one that truly personifies what aqua teen hunger force is all about.moreless

    I've seen Carl die many times throughout this series, but this was by far my favorite Carl death. When I first saw it, I burst out laughing my ass off when I saw him sitting on a massive toilet in public. I don't know why, but its always funny to see a male cartoon character take a crap on a toilet w/ a newspaper. I pictured what that whole scene would look like in real life, and I seriously doubt it would be pretty. What I didn't expect was that he'd get pulled in by the suction of the toilet's flush. I sat there and was like, "Ooohh maaaan!!! That's gotta suck!!!!" Unlike most Carl deaths, Frylock and the gang actually try to bring him back to life with the most bizarre and obsured methods.moreless

    • Carl hurts while he walks with his body of eyes, yet he doesn't feel any pain while choking Frylock with his arms. Edit
    • There's a nice picture of Frylock and Dr. Weird in the background when they are re-assembling Carl. Edit
    • Frylock mentions at the beginning that he couldn't shell out to get the invisible function for the super toliet and yet later he manages to buy the robot body without any real hassle. How'd he get the money for that so fast if he had none before? Edit

    ADD NOTES

    • This is the first time anyone actually died in an episode. Carl, at the beginning, though he is brought back, and Shake, being shot at by Meatwad with a missile.

      Edit
    • The computer screen reading Carl's thoughts says this: Oh man, I swear to fucking God, Fry-man, I'm so fucking pissed right now. Oh, and by the way, I hope you enjoy eating your own shit, because I'm about to rip your motherfucking throat out, and shove it so far up your ass, that you have to fart to fucking breathe, fucker. Edit
    • When Carl's head is attached to the computer, it tranlates what Carl is thinking. If you freeze frame it, there are actually sentences on the computer. And while Frylock's fries get in the way to obscure it for censorship purposes, most of it is still readable -- and very vulgar. Basically Carl is thinking about what he's going to do to Frylock when he gets his original body back. Edit

Oh, is that an 'F?' He's dropping F-bombs over here! Frylock:(now covering the monitor screen) D-d-don't look over here, Meatwad, these are just words you don't need to learn. Meatwad: I'm gonna start dropping F-bombs. Listen to this. Fart you, farthead. Master Shake: That's not how F-bombs are dropped, you idjit! Frylock: Oh, come on, Shake! Meatwad: Oh, the fart it is, farter! Fart all y'all. Y'all go fart yourselves. Edit
    • Shake: (About Carl with stifling laughtrt) Wait a minute! Before you turn him on, do you think he'll be able to see us? Frylock: In ways you can only imagine. Shake: But look, I mean, is he gonna be able to chase us? Cuz if I woke up looking like that, I would just run towards the nearest living thing and kill it. Edit
    • Frylock: (After getting into Carl's house and talking to Carl behind the couch) Hey Carl, did you loose something behind the couch? Carl: (Yelling)Yeah I did! I lost peace and quiet! What do you need? What do you want? Can I not just live here without having to occassionally deal with you animals? Frylock: Well yeah, it is your house. Carl: That's right, it is! Edit
