  12 oz. Mouse - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The show was created by Matt Maiellaro, co-creator of Aqua Teen Hunger Force, and produced by Williams Street for Adult Swim.
During the premiere, an Adult Swim bump hinted that Matt Maiellaro had been intoxicated when he came up with the idea for the show, which is how the crude art reminiscent of "a 4-year-old on drugs" made its way into the show.
Maiellaro commissioned Lexington, Kentucky semi-professional cowpunk band Nine Pound Hammer to write and perform the theme song.

Maiellaro and Willis were on the panel with two other creative teams from Cartoon Network's freewheeling late-night lineup, Tim Heidecker and Matt Wareheim of "Tom Goes to the Mayor" and Matt Senreich and Seth Green of "Robot Chicken."
Cartoon Network initially rejected the idea, but Maiellaro and Willis took the characters into their own world, and the rest is Adult Swim history.
Willis and Maiellaro aren't sure yet when or how their movie will be distributed, but given their corporate parents, they're not worried.

The highlight of the new DVD is the appearance of "Gee Whiz," the controversial ATHF episode in which Meatwad is impregnated by Jesus, who may or may not be Ted Nugent (who lends his voice to the animation—the Nuge, that is, not Jesus).
But though Maiellaro and Willis may be the reigning kings of late-night cartoons, they have been known to be foiled by advanced petroleum technology.
When High Decibel caught up with the duo via conference call, Maiellaro had stopped to fill up at an Atlanta gas station and was having as hard a time pumping gas as Carl trying to pump his mail-order bride.

"I don't know about Matt, but I had never been involved in a pitch before, and I don't know if either one of us were very good salespeople, but we knew the people that we were pitching to.
Willis and Maiellaro's freewheeling attitudes, cultivated by a management team that gives them a lot of room to run, probably help feed the show's streetwise veneer.
The show's "fresh-outta-Jersey" feel is a bit of a put-on, as well; Maiellaro grew up in Pensacola, Fla., and Dave hails from Conyers, an Atlanta suburb.

 The DVD Journal | Quick Reviews: Aqua Teen Hunger Force: Vol. 1
The pleasure in watching the Aqua Teens is all due to the mentally damaged creative genius of Matt Maiellaro and Dave Willis, who fill out each 12-minute short with a frequently brilliant mixture of non-sequiturs and obscure pop-culture references, while guiding their characters through the paces of a poorly pursued investigation.
The show's most important attribute is brevity; at 12 minutes per episode, Maiellaro and Willis don't have to bother with structuring a full story, nor do they feel a need to attempt any incisive satire like The Simpsons, Family Guy, or South Park.
Whatever social commentary there is has mostly to do with willful naiveté and greed, both of which are exemplified by the amoral Shake, who isn't above selling Meatwad to the circus for a $2 profit, or futilely trying to cook him in the drier when he gets hungry.

The Aqua Teen Hunger Force are a squabbling trio of fast-food items (milkshake, fries, and a ball of hamburger meat) that have joined together to fight a host of monsters, aliens, and mad scientists in their native New Jersey.
Fans of traditional cartoons may find the surreal plotlines and low-fi animation unmanageable, but viewers who enjoy other Adult Swim programming like Space Ghost Coast to Coast (series creators Chris Willis and Matt Maiellaro are veterans from that show) will find the Force's adventures side-splitting.
The two-disc set, which features 16 episodes from the series' first two seasons, is supplemented by commentary by Willis and Maiellaro on three episodes, including an early version of "Rabbot." Disc 2 has a pair of Easter eggs that feature deleted scenes.

 The DVD Journal | Quick Reviews: Aqua Teen Hunger Force: Volume Two
There's also an annoying over-reliance on scatological gags in this batch of shorts, though a few do pay off pretty spectacularly, as in "Super Spore," where a parasitic alien ruthlessly bent on securing a job with a 401k plan frequently pouts by messily secreting liquid feces.
Still, Maiellaro and Willis are on the mark more often than not, and certain episodes promise to have a high rewatchability quotient.
Finally, because it hinges on Master Shake flushing the utility bills down the toilet because they're too expensive, "Super Squatter" may not only be the best short in this collection, but a more honest and heartbreaking tale of wanton self-destruction than House of Sand and Fog.

The fact that an animated show about a fast-food value meal has gained a cult following is a testament to the strength of the lineup, and the effectiveness with which the cable channel cross-promotes its programming.
The best-known series are Fox network castoffs: "The Family Guy," Seth MacFarlane's twisted take on sitcom suburbia, and "Futurama," Matt Groening's satire set 1,000 years from now.
It's an eclectic mix of sharp writing, inventive subject matter and diverse visual styles that began nearly three years ago, but was in the plans since the channel's conception in 1992.

When asked to explain the popularity of the whole "Adult Swim" lineup, "Aqua Teen Hunger Force" co-creator Matt Maiellaro succinctly answers: "Family Guy." "That's what draws everyone, then they hang out to see what else might be coming up," Maiellaro said.
Dave Willis, who created the show with Maiellaro, said it's easier to get away with making Master Shake a major jerk because -- like Larry David on HBO's "Curb Your Enthusiasm" -- he's on cable, not prime-time network TV.
That kind of strong, risky writing is what has attracted more women to "Adult Swim," Lazzo said; nearly half the people watching the shows are female.
