''[[Aqua Teen Hunger Force]]'' (also branded with different [[Aqua Teen Hunger Force#Alternative titles|alternative titles]] for seasons 8-11) is an American adult animated television series that aired on [[Cartoon Network]]'s late night programming block, [[Adult Swim]]. The show is about the [[surreal humour|surreal]] adventures and antics of three [[anthropomorphic]] [[fast food]] items: [[Master Shake]], [[Frylock]], and [[Meatwad]], who live together as roommates in a neighborhood in the suburbs next door to a human named [[Carl Brutanunanulewski|Carl]].

An early version of the pilot episode originally aired months prior to the launch of Adult Swim on Cartoon Network unannounced on December 30, 2000. It later made its debut on Adult Swim on September 9, 2001, and ended on August 30, 2015, with a total of 139 episodes, over the course of eleven seasons. An episode titled "Boston" was scheduled to air during the fifth season, but was pulled to avoid further controversy surrounding the [[2007 Boston Mooninite panic]], and has never aired or formally released to the public legally in any format.<ref name="DW2008 interview">{{cite web|title=Exclusive Interview With Meatwad, Er, Dave Willis, Of 'Aqua Teen Hunger Force' |url=http://www.starpulse.com/news/Dee_Doyle/2008/12/15/starpulse_com_exclusive_interview_with_d |website=StarPulse.com |access-date=September 18, 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101115024706/http://www.starpulse.com/news/Dee_Doyle/2008/12/15/starpulse_com_exclusive_interview_with_d|archive-date=November 15, 2010|url-status=live}}</ref> In most seasons several episodes aired outside of their production order.
