Revision as of 22:18, 30 December 2010
"Balloonenstein" is the fifth episode of the first season of Aqua Teen Hunger Force and the fifth episode overall. It originally aired on December 23, 2001.
Plot
Cold open
In the cold opening Dr. Weird unveils a Black Hole from behind the garage door, that sucks up both Steve and him. This black hole reappears several times throughout the episode.
Plot
At the beginning, both Frylock and Carl are sucked up by the black hole created by Dr. Weird in the intro. When Frylock returns, he finds that Shake has kept Meatwad in the dryer for almost a week. Meatwad emerges with newfound static electricity powers that may be more trouble than they're worth (since he killed so far Carl and Squirrley with them). So Meatwad takes a balloon given by Frylock (shaped as Meatwad's dead squirell Squirrley) and rubs it all over his body in order for the balloon to absorb the electricity within him. It then grows to tremendous size, and it is capable of shooting beems of electricity. It flies downtown and its up to the Aqua Teens to solve this disaster.
Notes/Trivia[1]
- In this episode, Shake makes a placesetting for Meatwad and happens to use a plastic utensil set. However, when he is setting it up, a metallic sound is heard, indicating that the sound must have come from something other than plastic utensils.
- The brand of dryer Shake tosses Meatwad in is denoted as "MoreMore".
- It is first mentioned (and utilized to some effect) in this episode that the Aqua Teen's have a ceiling fan in their living room. The inconsistency is that in later episodes it doesn't appear in the spot it should be in.
- The first of Meatwad's many friends make an appearance in this episode. Squirrelly the squirrell, who unfortunately couldn't survive the static-charged hugs of Meatwad.
- The Aqua Teen's roof has four shingles out of place in various spots on it.
- When Frylock smiles for the first time, his braces make their first appearance (this excludes their appearance during the opening sequence).
- Meatwad's brain makes its first appearance in this episode.
- This episode marks the first reference made toward the computer game called "Clam Digger".
