I seem to be in the minority, but while I think season 2 may be one of the consistently strong years overall, I still think the greatest of all individual episodes are in Season 1, 3, and 4.

That doesn't mean this season isn't very worth seeing. If there are no flat out genius episodes this year for me, I really liked `Mail Order Bride', `Universal Remonster', `Super Bowl', `Super Squatter', `Super Spore', and `Super Computer.

Overall, the series has worn off a just bit for me from when I was first enthralled by it's sheer dada-esque insanity, but the best episodes still transcend to inspired, sublime levels of bizarre, gross, tweaked humor, leaving you both laughing out loud and shaking your head at the audacity and bravery of the storytelling. When your starting premise is a giant talking shake, French fries, and wad of meat living together in suburban New Jersey, USA how wrong can you go? If you like strange, gonzo humor (Monty Python would be my generation's touchstone) and/or out-there adult animation, you owe it to yourself to give this a try -- and give it a couple of episodes to let your head get into what the creators are doing.

Aqua Teen is hilarious. If you don't believe me watch it on Cartoon Network Sunday through thursday at 12:00 am. You will want to buy this dvd set as well as the first volume if you don't already have it. And if you don't already have it... shame on you.

Frylock- How ya feelin shake?
Master Shake- I'd be feelin a lot better if you would shut the hell up while i'm watchin this.

Pure comic genious.

Volume 2:Aqua Teen Hunger Force
13 episodes (2 discs):156 Minutes Long

ATHF is one of the most hilarious, coolest shows out there today on TV. Every episode is hilarious. It is a story of Meatwad(ball of meat), Frylock(fries), and Master Shake(milkshake). Carl there next door neighbor dosen't like them a lot because they destroy his stuff all the time and swim in his pool. If you ever noticed his house is for sale in every episode. They encounter mostly robots and aliens, and solve mysteries. Do not buy this unless you have Volume 1.

For that guy below that said this is only Season 2 he is completely wrong. This is called VOLUME 2 not SEASON 2. You must not even bought Volume 1 because there are some Season 2 episodes on Volume 1. If you look at the episode guide for ATHF it shows all the episodes for all the seasons and MOST season 3 episodes are on this Volume.

I have heard of there being a SPECIAL VERSION of Volume 2 though that will cost more because of there being more Special Features

BELOW is a list of the episodes believed to be in Volume 2 and a little description of each one.

1. Mail Order Bride - Shake and Carl order a bride, only to have her lock herself in Carl's house and steal his car.

2. Super Birthday Snake - Meatwad asks for a bunny for his birthday but Frylock buys him a snake, which then proceeds to eat Meatwad.

3. Universal Re-monster - Emory and Oglethorpe's "universal re-monster" is sent to Aqua Team and makes the Aqua Team mad.

4. Super Bowl - Frylock and Master Shake find 2 Super Bowl tickets in a bag of chips that Meatwad is eating, and Frylock tells Meatwad he can bring a friend with him to the big football game.

5. Super Hero - Master Shake gives Meatwad and Frylock two cell phones so they can contact "The Drizzle", a superhero, when there is trouble.

6. Super Squatter - Frylock tries to make Shake pay for the house bills, but Shake just watches T.V and keeps saying he'll do it later.

7. Super Spore - While The Aqua Teens are sitting in Carl's Pool, an Alien Tentactle reaches out and grabs Shake. Meatwad and Frylock follow it to see a squid like Alien Travis that uses Master Shake as a way to communicate with people.

8. Supermodel - Master Shake comes back from the trip from Guatemala with a new nose that he had been put on by a cheap surgeon.

9. Super Trivia - Frylock takes Meatwad, Shake, and Carl into quest to defeat his enemy Wayne the Brain, at a game of team trivia.

10. Super Sir loin - Meatwad won't turn off his new album by Sir Loin. He goes on a hunger strike and meets MC Pee Pants.

11. Super Computer - Frylock manages to create a kind of computer that can transmit emails through people's minds.

12. The Meat Zone - Meatwad acquires an amazing ability to see and tell the future.

13. Cybernetic Ghost of Christmas Past from the Future - After Carl is visited by the ghost of Christmas past and they find out the house is built on an ancient Elfian burial ground, Carl's finally fed up and moves out of the house. New neighbor Glen Danzig moves in and annoys the Aqua Teens.

lets just get somethng straight here about how people aree ranting and raving over the discs only holdin 143 minutes of film. that is a false statement because other then the 13 episodes being 11 minutes long they have to re record the commentary PLUS the bonus features making each disc at the four hour mark. and for those who are dissapointed tht they dont have all the season 3 episodes GET A CLUE THIS IS ONLY THE SEASON TWO SET!

ATHF is the second best show on tv now a days second only to Family Guy and I'm sure the dvd will be awesome too and i also can not wait until the new Family Guy episodes come out

I love the ATHF! The surreal humor is wonderfully off kilter and never fails to make me laugh. I highly recommend this set to anyone interested in offbeat animation.

However...

There are 13 episodes on a two disc set. The episodes are 11 minutes long.

13 x 11 = 143 min

Your average DVD can contain about 4 hours of information (240 m). There is no reason, other than Time Warner trying to fatten the corporate wallet, to spread this out over two DVDs. Unless Cartoon Network promises to give the extra profits to the shorties, there's no excuse.

Five stars for the product. Taking one back for the greed.

PS: For the reviewer who said I was lying about DVD lengths: Funny how movie studios can fit a 2 1/2 hour movie with multiple commentary tracks, deleted scenes, and other bonuses ALL ON ONE DVD! Wow! Imagine that.

And, by the way, I think most two disc packages are pretty superfluous. Unless you've got some major extras, you can usually fit the 30-40 minutes of extras on the first disc. It's just price padding. I just find it very noticeable in this case, especially considering the low amount of extras included on the first ATHF set.

This is the best cartoon network show besides Harvey Birdman Attorney at Law. Its funny, its fresh, new and interesting in comparison to all the crappy reality network shows out there right now. I am hooked on this show. Carl & Shake are hilarious. I also can't wait till Harvey Birdman comes out on DVD, that's my favorite next to ATHF. I also love Cowboy Bebop & Family Guy. Can't wait for the new episodes of Family Guy to come out. I hope ATHF & Harvey Birdman keeps coming out with new shows. I also really liked Home Movies - too bad its being cancelled - I luv that fat coach guy. Its totally worth buying this DVD.

I'm gonna paint some flames on this so it looks like my DVDs are tearin' ass around the yard.

Ok. First off I want to say that if I was to rate the quality of this show, I would give it 5 stars. Aqua Teen Hunger Force is easily one of my favorite cartoons right now. However, someone is really trying to screw us fans with this dvd. (...) That is just crazy. Why would they not put all 24 season 3 episodes in this set? The answer is they want to get as much money off these dvds as they can. The funny part is the need for a 2 disc set. Are they using single layered dvds? You could probably fit 13 episodes on one single layered disc and unless they are including 4 hours of commentary and special features they are really just deliberately ripping us off. I will probably end up buying this baby because I love this show too much and want to support them so they don't go the way of Home Movies, but it really disgusts me how they are selling this.

This is the best cartoon ever, but only if you are into its random humor as people have said in other reviews.
