Production
Master Shake was created and designed by series creators Dave Willis and Matt Maiellaro. Like the other main characters of Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Frylock and Meatwad, Master Shake first made a rough-cut appearances in the Space Ghost Coast to Coast season eight episode "Baffle Meal." Master Shake, along with Frylock, Meatwad and Carl Brutananadilewski, made his first official appearance in the pilot episode of Aqua Teen Hunger Force, "Rabbot," which premiered unannounced on December 30, 2000, along with the original "stealth pilot" of Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law and two episodes of Sealab 2021. Although Master Shake was originally voiced by Dave Willis in "Baffler Meal," and was performed as a live action person by H. Jon Benjamin in the season six episode "Last Last One Forever and Ever," voice actor Dana Snyder provides Master Shake's voice throughout the entire series and every other official appearance Master Shake has ever made. Snyder had originally auditioned for the role of Master Shake after a friend of Dave Willis recommended him for the role.
In a 2009 interview, Snyder said, "I'm into old showbiz stuff like Don Rickles, which I think reflects in Master Shake, of course. I always inject little secret nods to my old comedic heroes..."
Co-creator and co-writer Willis said, "The guy who's the main voice of Master Shake, Dana Snyder, is really, really talented, and helped us take that character in a totally different direction."
Master Shake, along with Frylock and Meatwad, has come out in every episode of the show, with the exception of the Season 5 episodes "Robots Everywhere" and "Sirens".
