# Aqua Teen Hunger Force season 10

The tenth season of the animated television series Aqua Teen Hunger Force, alternatively titled Aqua TV Show Show, aired in the United States on Cartoon Network's late night programming block, Adult Swim. The season started on August 11, 2013 with "Muscles" and ended with "Spacecadeuce" on October 20, 2013, with a total of ten episodes. The show is about the surreal adventures and antics of three anthropomorphic fast food items: Master Shake, Frylock, and Meatwad, who live together as roommates and frequently interact with their human next-door neighbor, Carl. In May 2015, this season became available on Hulu Plus.
Episodes in this season were written and directed by Dave Willis and Matt Maiellaro. The theme music was composed by Flying Lotus. Almost every episode in this season featured a special guest appearance, which continues a practice used in past seasons. This season has been released in various forms of home media, including on demand streaming.

## Production

Every episode in this season was written and directed by series creators Dave Willis and Matt Maiellaro, who have both written and directed every episode of the series. All episodes originally aired in the United States on Cartoon Network's late night programming block, Adult Swim.
The opening theme entitled "Aqua Teen 24" and the closing theme entitled "Chasing Apples" were both composed by American alternative hip hop producer Flying Lotus, who has worked with Adult Swim several times over the years. Both songs were formally released on the Ideas+drafts+loops mixtape on December 10, 2013, including the instrumental for "Aqua Teen 24".

| Carl acquires a storage unit from his friend and invites Frylock to help examine its contents, only to discover the storage unit is a portal to another universe ruled by the mystical kingdom of the peaceful, woodland Zeebles. The Zeebles (consisting of King Zarfonius, Zorf, Zingo, Zaffy, and Bill) are willing to welcome Carl and make friends with him, even though they're aware of his unfriendliness, so they present him with a leaf collage as a present, which Carl couldn't care less about. Carl, eager to make money, begins draining the mythical land of its resources, such as cutting down all the trees, inviting rare game hunters to hunt down the magical animals, drilling for oil, and renting out the area for weddings. Upset about the current state of their kingdom, the Zeebles at-first decide to impeach "Carl the Difficult, Alcoholic, Unfriendly Giant", but Bill persistently suggests killing him, which is eventually agreed upon. The Zeebles decide to bake Zorf inside a Blister-berry pie with a knife and give it to Carl and for him to kill Carl when he goes to take a bite. The next day, Carl invites two soon-to-be-weds to the storage unit to scout the location for their wedding, where the Zeebles present Carl with the pie (which contains the outline of Zorf in the crust). Carl instantly suspects poison, so he forces Zarfonius to take the first bite, in which the Zeebles discover that Zorf died inside the pie when they baked it, which results in Carl poaching all the Blister-berries and inviting Zaffy back to his home so he can have his way with her. At Carl's pool, Frylock tries to reason with Carl to cease his imperialistic actions and to "leave those little people alone", which Carl turns down and decides to "steal their frickin' Sun". The Zeebles plot to attack and kill Carl using a taxidermy Moose-head, unfashionable neckties, burning baseball cards, an antique civil war musket, and old tax records (all raided from the neighboring storage units). Everything, however, doesn't even phase Carl and he unscrews the Sun from the ceiling/sky, which in turn summons a nocturnal creature called the Nightwolf which attacks Carl. Guest appearances: Bobcat Goldthwait as Zingo, Mary Mack as Zaffy, Bobby Moynihan as Zarfonius, Paul Painter as Wise and All-Knowing Bush, Paul Rust as Zorf, and François Chau (credited as "Dr. Marvin Candle") as Bill ||||||||

| Emory and Oglethorpe, the Plutonians, awaken after months of hypersleep (which includes Oglethorpe being terrorized by a Xenomorph-like creature only to learn that the duplicitous Mooninites have conquered and enslaved their entire race. Now their leaders, Ignignokt and Err instruct Emory and Oglethorpe to investigate the S.S.S. Jon Don Ronald (a spaceship that resembles an ugly man wearing only briefs and socks) to recover three groups of explorers who've gone missing three months ago. The Mooninites also reveal that the ship is alive and carnivorous (but they're pretty sure it's sleeping), and is also not to be confused with its twinship, the S.S.S. Jon Ron Donald (an after-hours nightclub). Unfortunately, Ignignokt and Err can't tell the difference between the two, so Oglethorpe and Emory have no clue which ship is which. The Plutonians arrive at the Jon Don Ronald and the Jon Ron Donald and enter what they believe to be the safe ship, where they find remnants of the explorers hanging from the ceiling. The Mooninites call them via a hologram-wristband and inform that the carnivorous ship has fangs while the other doesn't, and warns them not to wake the carnivorous ship. However, the carnivorous ship is awoken by a living jukebox, therefore trapping Oglethorpe and Emory inside. It's then revealed that Ignignokt and Err don't actually want the ship or the explorers, but only to torment the Plutonians. Oglethorpe and Emory then try to escape through the ship's anus, at which point Oglethorpe's dad calls to tell him to "get is ars home for dinner", in which he explains that the Plutonian race hasn't been conquered or enslaved and that the ship they're in is actually a food truck from Planet of the Apes. As Oglethorpe and Emory are climbing through the anus they become trapped by the other ship, who turns out to be the homosexual lover of the carnivorous ship. Ignignokt calls the Plutonians to inform them that "there is no escape from this anus" and that he and Err are going to go watch Event Horizon. ||||||||
