The Adult Swim show is back in full force

Not everyone may find a ball of meat, goatee-laced floating box of fries and yellow-gloved shake cohabitating funny. But if those general descriptions arouse a grin or if specific episodes are called to mind, then it may be of interest to you that “Aqua Teen Hunger Force” season five is now available on DVD.

The most recent season of the animated Adult Swim television show was released Jan. 29. The two-disc set starts out slow, focusing on the three main characters: Meatwad, Master Shake and Frylock. I’ll leave it to you to match the name with the descriptions.

The deviant main characters often interact with their balding, vulgar neighbor, Carl. Additional bewildering characters add to stories just as peculiar in theme. The story plots may not make sense, but that’s OK; they’re not really meant to make much sense anyway.

If the endings leave you pondering all the unexplained and unaccounted-for scenarios, this is probably not the show for you. If you’re exerting your mind mid-show in an attempt to make sense of the synopsis, you’re better off watching something else.

By the second coarse episode, I admit I considered breaking the DVD player due to how many times Shake promoted Boost Mobile in the 15-minute time slot. After calming down and reconciling with the show through the Hand Banana episode, I settled into a potential overdose of ATHF and gave mental props to the creators; they probably knew what they were doing with Shake wearing gold chains and advertising for a cell phone company.

Season five consists of 13 episodes and a plethora of extras. Eleven special features integrate material often equal in quality to the show.

No, the deleted scenes aren’t that great, but there is plenty to make up for it. The special feature titled “I like your booty but I’m not gay music video” speaks for itself. And the one titled “Aqua Teen Hunger Force responds to the critics” shows characters crudely reacting to and insulting critics of the movie “Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theatres.”

If witnessing Shake threaten the lives of critics’ families and promising his return if his demands are not met sounds like a good time, season five is a great fit to kill a lot of time – and it doesn’t require much thinking.

This heads-up of the DVD release in addition to any previous interest may not provoke you to buy it, but renting isn’t a bad idea. A little dose of Meatwad never hurt anybody.
