The Officially Official ATHF Rankings, Part II: The Lazy

Since I lost interest in doing this and now am doing it, it's Part II: The Lazy-ing. Kind of like the Clowning or Cubing. Since I can see my interest waining, let's get to this and write one liners (or so) instead of rating each nuance..

1 Ep. 25 Super Trivia: The best episode. Frylock drives most of this episode and it's by far his best showing. Meatwad and Shake are collateral damage which is rare and really funny. Prime Carl. Because you gotta say the two balls part. The final question is probably the best line in the entire series, not quotable but so bizarre, it's amazing.

2 Ep. 31 Total Recarl: The ultimate Carl episode. Starting with the toilet (Fiber tablets. Yum.) and ending with all the insane ways they try and resurrect him, the episode is really excellent because they mangle Carl and then keep going. The ending is also perfect with "I want to liiiiiiiiive" and "Fart you, farter".

3 Ep. 43 Video Ouija: The whole billywitchdoctor.com sequence is obscene. It's so stupid that it's genius. Then you get the whole initial sequence with Video Ouija and Shake. Peppered with classic Carl lines ("Ok! Watch your back!" and "My hand is gonna smell like a burguh"). 

4 Ep. 139 The Greatest Story Ever Told: One of the greatest final episodes, fuck you claw. It makes you wonder what kind of insanity they could have pulled off had they paired Frylock and Carl together previously in this way. The dumbest not-a-guest-spot with Christopher Lambert ("Lambear... the T is silent. I'm from ... Sco... Land") is prime choice. Meatwad is a little underused, tacked on with Shake, but Shake is the kind of obliviousness we've come to love. PLUS! All the new side characters and surviving characters from The Last One. And George Lowe. And Unbelievable Ron. They totally 180°d the awful previous final-not-final episode.

5 Ep. 80 Shake Like Me: Ok, fuck you HBO Max, this skewers black and white people equally. They dust off Boxy Brown for christ's sake, what more would anyone want?

6 Ep. 30 Frat Aliens: The best guest character is Patton Oswalt (who somehow did the awful Ezekiel) as D to the P and Skeeter. Choice Carl too. The ending with the Plutonites is probably the most I've ever been able to tolerate them because they are, teh suck.

7 Ep. 117 Fightan Titan: This came out of nowhere, with Paul (from one of the Markula episodes) and then the whole robot thing. It's pretty much a Carl/Shake/Meatwad trifecta. Carl and his dong, Shake with the legs and holy shit, Meatwad with the arms. The ending with the laser charging is classic.

8 Ep. 44 Unremarkable Journey: Probably the best Shake as a total asshole episode. Hit 'em with the shamoo is a top 5 line for me.

9 Ep. 77 The Marines: Also out of nowhere, Meatwad drives this episode and drags Shake along with it which is why it works so well. Frylock in Canada is dry and awesome. Warrior Gum, kicks butt, the flavor goes on and on.

10 Ep. 47 eDork: Probably the best Shake is a clueless moron episode. He even ropes in Carl perfectly ("Can someone please turn off the porn?"). 

11 Ep. 39 The Last One: A perfect combo of all the guest characters up to this point. Probably what inspired them to do Spacecataz. 

12 Ep. 14 Interfection: The Wyyzzrd is a great character that got left behind in season one but it is one of the first true to form episodes along with Dumber Dolls and Love Mummy imo that fit in with the rest of the series (since some of the very first episodes hadn't found their footing). 

13 Ep. 27 Super Computer: OOG RIP HEAD OFF ARRR. Oog is pretty fantastic.

14 Ep. 97 Multiple Meat: The ultimate Meatwad episode. A good one specifically as Shake abuses him and it has zero effect and just makes the episode funnier.

15 Ep. 12 Love Mummy: CUUUUUUURSE. The show's nature really starts poking through now, with the episode ending with both the Love Mummy getting thrown away and Carl turning into a snake person, foreshadowing at the extreme Carl misfortune to come that made the show so great.

16 Ep. 33 Revenge of the Trees: Just a really good episode. Tree Court is awesome.

17 Ep. 21 Super Hero: When Shake manufactures his own reality, he does it well and this episode is proof.

18 Ep. 24 Super Model: Solid Shake abuse right here.

19 Ep. 92 Eggball: I want that pinball cab. The birds and the big gay baby are a nice topping on a whole ton of moronic Shake stuff.

20 Ep. 79 Gene E: Ka-gay. I love this episode even if it isn't very objectively good. Just the whole Ka-blingo thing and Shake's spec script. 

21 Ep. 13 Dumber Dolls: A classic episode that highlights Meatwad's innocence in a funny way. David Cross nails this in every way.

22 Ep. 35 Broodwich: Another classic. The Don Hertzfeldt dimension was a nice touch and the whole concept is delightfully bonkers.

23 Ep. 38 Cubing: This one time, I ate boiled peanuts. 

24 Ep. 121 Muscles: This episode grew on me, the insane muscles really steals the show and the Shake abuse is top notch both before the muscles are subdued and after.

25 Ep. 129 Piranha Germs: This also snuck into the top 25. Don's fast talking, leading Shake around by the nose act is really amazing and the ending with the ice cream truck is classic ATHF.
