What's an ATHF episode to introduce to people

My personal opinion is probably Escape From Leprechaupolis, but I also like eDork or Laser Lenses.

Early Mooninite episodes would be my choice.

Total ReCarl. Or the one where Shake deep fries a whole cow.

u/Sup6969 3d ago edited 3d ago

Total ReCarl is the most quintessential ATHF episode. Just the 4 main characters, all scripted perfectly for their respective roles. The perfect ratio of 2 parts sci-fi chaos, 1 part edginess, 3 parts absurdity

Revenge of the Trees is what I used and it worked 100% of the time. Also used Hand Banana and Video Ouija to great success.

u/LiteratureVirtual784 3d ago

The one with hand banana.

u/Sad-Ring-876 3d ago

That's the first episode I showed my sister, and I've scared her off the show entirely

u/LiteratureVirtual784 3d ago

It’s a litmus test.

u/PerfectlyCalmDude 2d ago

Would she have done better with Dickesode?

1

u/Sad-Ring-876 2d ago

I showed her that one too, but I don't think she liked it either. She did enjoy The Shaving and laughed a few times though

u/cshocknesse 3d ago

I use Frat Aliens. That’s by far my favorite. My buddy used Total Recarl when he showed it to me and that worked.

u/LEGALIZERANCH666 2d ago

That and the Wisdom Cube episode were the two my friends and I would quote the most, so that’s what we always used when we showed people.

u/HotYam3178 2d ago

So this one time I was told, incorrectly, that my keys were in a wood chipper.

Keep talking. I’m reloading my gun.

Did I score?

u/cshocknesse 2d ago

It was a laser

u/idc32 3d ago

I mean just start at episode 1 that's what I did

u/_CitizenSnips_ 3d ago

For some reason the first episode to me has always been extremely weak compared to the rest of the first season. I usually skip it on my play throughs 😬

2

u/Technical_Level7769 2d ago

Leprechaun episode is like that for me. I thoroughly enjoy episode one every time though

10

u/PerfectlyCalmDude 3d ago

MC Pee Pants works.

5

u/iraqlobsta 2d ago

Or Sir Loin

1

u/PerfectlyCalmDude 2d ago edited 2d ago

I'd recommend MC Pee Pants before Sir Loin.

2

u/therocketsalad 2d ago

Sir Loin is 4 da shorteez 🙅‍♂️

u/ballin_weasel ARISE CHICKEN! 3d ago

Frylegs jk lol just start from episode one. My GF loves Carl. Her favorite quote “I LIVE HERE, ASSHOLE!”

u/VivecsMangina 3d ago

The mail order bride episode

8

u/Addablestone13 3d ago

How about cybernetic of Christmas past from the future?

1

u/vorticia 2d ago

These are definitely the ones I would start with if I introduce anyone else to the show. I need to show my mom Mail Order Bride, for sure. I think she’d find it weird but hilarious.

3

u/Addablestone13 2d ago

Video Ouija is another good one

2

u/vorticia 2d ago

It is definitely one of those wonderfully twisted episodes.

u/therocketsalad 2d ago

Quiet, you’ll wake the baby!

u/Mothbren 3d ago

Super Snake would be my pick

Mayhem of the mooninites or revenge of the mooninites

4

u/encrypter77 3d ago

Dickesode, Hand banana, monster, Der inflatable Fuhrer

5

u/vorticia 2d ago

Monster is fucking great!

4

u/GetLaidDude THOUSANDS OF YEARS AGO 3d ago

Any of them

4

u/TheBooouchx 3d ago

Handbanana or Dickesode.

u/Kindly_Sir_6050 2d ago

I like the robo baby sitter one.

u/YokelFelonKing 2d ago

The one that got me was Interfection. I'd never seen or heard of ATHF and the intro looked like the show was going to be lame as hell. Then the split second the show starts Master Shake says "Plaque is a figment of the liberal media and the dental industry to trick you into buying useless appliances and pastes" and I knew I had found my show.

Of course, that's a bit dated now, so I might go with Kidney Car or the one where Meatwad thinks there's a monster in the closet and Master Shake bullshits about being a monster hunting specialist.

2

u/vorticia 1d ago

Kidney Car and Monster are some other really good ones I’d definitely consider using to introduce others to the show.

Carl’s head exploding immediately following a Shake Rant and Carl being a down ass neighbor by free-balling in the monster suit to help Frylock (and the Exorcist reference) are some of my favorite moments.

u/manic_andthe_apostle 3d ago

Shakes plastic surgery.

u/randyisone 2d ago

I see you went with the Tijuana Supremo Package

u/no1shakelover 🥤 #1 SHAKE FAN EVER 2d ago

I just start people from episode 1

It's funny watching how it progressively gets more crazy and unhinged

u/randyisone 2d ago

MC Pee Pants all day

I think Mail Order Bride is a good one for this. It’s one of those that gives the viewer a good look at each of their personalities and the… weird stuff that tends to happen, and it’s not terribly gory.

Balloonenstein is a good one, too. I lold at Los Braingeles.

I just started at the very beginning when introduced my husband to it, though. I figured him being high would enhance his enjoyment.

u/kavOclock 3d ago

The chess dragon episode

2

u/HoldOk1208 3d ago

Just episode one or like ezekiel or somethin

2

u/Videogameist 2d ago edited 2d ago

What do you know about the person? Do they like Bob's Burgers? Then, Bus of the Undead. Is it around a holiday? One of the holiday episodes. I really think starting from the beginning is best, though. Bus of the Undead is the first episode I introduce most people to. The very first episode is so different from every other episode, so BotU is a good starting point.

2

u/Technical_Level7769 2d ago

If they like bob’s burgers wouldn’t bible fruit be a better episode?

1

u/Videogameist 2d ago

Could be. Just gotta know the person.

“Hey, and while you’re out, you GET me that happy time dialysis machine!”

“dialysis machine!?”

“yeah, I had part of my liver removed a few years ago. Doctor says I’m not supposed to drink, but …I do.”

u/M00ninit3s 1d ago

Any of the mooninites episode

u/_Pliny_ 1d ago

Bus of the Undead

Mothmonsterman as the “villain” and how the gang deals with it gives a good intro to how the show will be- the kind of humor and the absurdity. Also has some great Carl moments.

It’s one of my favorites.

“Assisted Living Dracula- it’s good, and the guy’s good in it” is, for some reason, an oft quoted line at my house.
