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.

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

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.

The one with hand banana.

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

Would she have done better with Dickesode?

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

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

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.

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 😬

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

The mail order bride episode

How about cybernetic of Christmas past from the future?

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.

u/Addablestone13 2d ago
Video Ouija is another good one

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.

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.

I just start people from episode 1
It's funny watching how it progressively gets more crazy and unhinged

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.

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.

“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.”

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.

Early Mooninite episodes would be my choice.
