Aqua Teen Hunger Force: Season 9

I know Adult Swim was around before Aqua Teen Hunger Force, and I know there have always been better shows on Adult Swim than Aqua Teen Hunger Force, but I think it's perfectly fair and reasonable to say that Aqua Teen Hunger Force was always the flagship show of the Adult Swim brand. Some were cleverer, some were even dumber, but as far as "what the fuck is even happening - no, wait, nobody cares" irreverent humor goes, how can you beat this? The show ended a few years ago - mercifully, finally - and with that ending came plenty of thinkpieces and looks back and legacy posturing, and you know what? After reading some of those, I'm sold on the idea of this show being some sort of proto-Internet-era "weird Twitter" sensation. This thing began in 2001 and was, at the time, the shortest show on television, what with these 11-minute episodes. There were no webseries back then. (Remember? I 'memba!) Anyway, you look at it through today's lens and the episodes almost drag on and on. Eleven minutes? Who has time for that? That's a long-ass YouTube video. That's 110 six-second Vines!

Anyway, my lengthy preamble there is meant mostly to butter the series up with rose-colored hindsight because, yeah, come on, there's nothing redeeming or intriguing about any of the ten episodes that constituted the ninth season of Aqua Teen Hunger Force, known for that particular season as Aqua Something You Know Whatever. It's an easy background watch while I'm playing a low stakes computer game or something, but the show's the same in its ninth season as it was in, like, its third.
