"Shake Like Me" is the second episode of the sixth season of Aqua Teen Hunger Force and the 80th episode overall. It was originally featured as an episode on disc two of the ATHF Volume Six DVD Box Set, and officially aired on April 5th, 2009.
Plot
The episode starts with the Aqua Teens watching some workers dumping toxic waste at a house, and this irritates Frylock who attempts to talk to the workers. Frylock comes back in a hazmat suit saying that the workers agreed to shut the operation down, but they continue dumping anyway. He talks with them again, and returns claiming that they have reached an understanding but they still continue dumping. Shake angrily walks over to the workers with a golf club and he threatens to beat up a radioactive black man. Shake then notices that the radioactive black man is taller and larger than him due to the radiation exposure. The radioactive black man bites Shake several times, while Meatwad backs away.
In his room, Frylock types a polite email message to the city about their worker biting Shake. Meanwhile, Shake displays some 'black' speech patterns and phrases. Frylock turned the lights off momentarily, and turns them back on to reveal that Shake has become black, much to Meatwad's confusion.
When Frylock sees this, he is confused, as Shake addresses him as 'Fryman in da hizzay wit the shizzay.' Shake then performs a secret, complex handshake with Frylock. Shake places rims all over the exterior of the house and raps on the roof. Then, Meatwad observes that Shake turned black because of the radioactive black man biting him. Frylock attempts to make Shake white again by having him swim in Carl's pool, drink milk, watch professional hockey, and squeeze organic avocados, but nothing seems to work. Meatwad tries magic and sorcery, but all this does is teleport Meatwad and Frylock somewhere else, leaving black Shake alone with Boxy Brown. Boxy gives Shake a lengthy speech about how he can't go back to being white. Boxy plans to make Shake a basketball superstar, but that plan doesn't work as Shake's blackness wears off as a result of Frylock's blaccine.
