| ♥♥♥♥♥ | An underrated season |
| After being delayed by the production of the Aqua Teen movie, we finally get the fifth season of Aqua Teen on DVD. A lot has been written about this season. Some were disappointed with it, some were offended and some feel the series has jumped the proverbial shark. However, I loved this season, and feel it's very underrated.
It's not the best season, I feel that the best season of the show was [[ASIN:B000B5XOR0 Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Vol. 4]]. Season five takes some risks and most of them pay off, at least for me. There are two controversial episodes in this set that really have divided fans and their opinions on the show. I think most fans of the show agree that the hand banana episode sank like a stone. I understand what the creators were trying to do, make a very unfunny subject like rape, funny, but it just doesn't work. On the other hand, the other controversial episode were Frylock is dying of cancer was very funny to me. I've had family members and a dear friend die of cancer, but I still thought this episode was funny. It's a surreal and an absurd episode that I think people are making too much about. If you don't think it's funny, read the banner the guys hang in the house welcoming Frylock home from the hospital. Plus, the use of Andrew WK ([[ASIN:B00005RY7X I Get Wet]]) performing a party song is more proof that this episode isn't meant to be taken seriously. With that said, there are some undeniably great episodes in this season. "Global Grilling" is Aqua Teen at their best. Anyone who feels the show has lost a step since season 3 should see this episode, they'll reconsider those feelings. The "Dickesode" is much funnier now that it's uncensored. The scene where Meatwad re-enacts a tv commercial with puppets, since they don't have Tivo, is classic! Other great episodes include: "Dirtfoot", "Boost Mobile", "Carl Wash", "Grim Reaper Gutters" and "Ezekiel". The 2-part "Star Studded Christmas Spectacular" is also good, since it contains finished footage cut from the Aqua Teen movie, that is a million time better than anything seen in the movie! The rest of the episodes are pretty decent as well, with the only real duds being "Hand Banana" and "Bart Oates". The DVD packaging is a nice digipak, like previous editions and they've included a sheet of Aqua Teen Hunger Force stickers with this set, which I thought was pretty creative. Extras include adult film star Tera Patrick recording her vocals for the "Grim Reaper Gutters" episode, deleted scenes (too short), "Learn to Shred Like the Master", "The Worst Game Ever" (loved it) and more. Overall, not the greatest season of the series ever, but it's not the disaster some fans would have you believe. The show is still cutting edge, creative and most importantly... funny. With the never ending war and an economy that's going to go from bad to worse long before it gets better... a few laughs are in high demand these days. Pick this one up, and you get more than a few. |
