Aqua Teen Hunger Force is an American animated comedy shown on Cartoon Network as part of its Adult Swim late-night programming block. The series features three anthropomorphic fast food items — the Aqua Teen Hunger Force or Aqua Teens — whose stated purpose is to solve crimes. As the series progressed, the crime solving aspect of the show disappeared. In more recent episodes, the show focuses more on the interaction of the characters than on coherent plots.

A full first season was put into production shortly thereafter and was first shown on September 16, 2001. To date, four seasons have been produced and the fifth season is currently in production.
During the first three seasons, episodes opened with a glimpse into the laboratory of Dr. Weird (located on the South Jersey shoreThe Jersey Shore is a colloquial term used in the mid-Atlantic region of the United States to refer to the ocean-facing coast of New Jersey, together with the adjacent resort and residential communities.

The title of the show is a decided misnomer: The characters have no real connection with the ocean, they aren't teenagers, and they are rarely shown as any kind of a force. Also, the hiphop style of the show's theme song and title sequence are rarely reflected in the episodes in any way.
