Master Shake - Role in Aqua Teen Hunger Force

Role in Aqua Teen Hunger Force

From 2000 until 2010, Master Shake, along with Frylock and Meatwad have lived in a suburban neighborhood in New Jersey, next door to Carl Brutananadilewski. They've since moved to an identical neighborhood in Seattle, Washington.

Like Frylock and Meatwad, Shake was a detective for the first three episodes, but inexplicably quit by "Mayhem of the Mooninites." Throughout the series Shake has had a series of different jobs such as a super hero, a song composer, a fast food server, a Boost Mobile sponsor, a United States Marine, a writer in "Last Last One Forever and Ever", and a rapper. With the exception of being a detective, Shake's careers typically only last one episode.

Master Shake has been shown to be a talented cook, flash frying cheese-injected beef ("Revenge of the Trees"), a four-cheese lasagna ("Lasagna"), owning an Alton Brown saucepot to make Balsamic Reduction ("Global Grilling") and starting a restaurant ("Hand Banana"). He is said to "have no flow", by SKORGE.

Shake is extremely rude, selfish, lazy, arrogant, egotistical, vain and ignorant. He often tells pointless lies to get out of doing any work, and often boasts of having fantastic skills he clearly does not have. He often plays cruel tricks on Meatwad. Shake has even gone to extreme lengths, such as committing suicide to haunt Meatwad as a ghost, or putting Meatwad's pet cat into a microwave. Master Shake is usually always at odds with Frylock. His wrongdoings usually catch up with him in the end resulting in great humiliation or him dying in some gruesome manner (yet he always comes back the next episode). However, despite his often violent and cruel behavior, he will sometimes express shock at immoral actions committed by other characters, and in at least one instance claimed to have "standards."

Like Meatwad and Frylock, Shake doesn't have an official gender, but he's strongly depicted as a male (though Frylock claims in the episode "Ezekial" that he has no penis). In the episode "Mail Order Bride" he, along with Carl, were both briefly married to a mail-order bride from Chechnya named Svetlana. Shake does not appear to have a family, but in Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theaters it is claimed that he, along with Meatwad and Frylock, is a creation of Dr. Weird. The movie also claims their father is a watermelon, and their mother is a nine-layer bean burrito. In 2010 during the "Aqua Teen Hunger Force Live" tour, series creator Dave Willis confirmed that Dr. Weird is indeed the creator of Master Shake, Frylock, Meatwad and Chicken Bittle, making them all brothers.

In a Season 5 episode Shake claims that he is 30 or 40 years old (despite acting like a teenager), but "Rabbot Redux" mentions that Shake is almost forty years old. Shake is not depicted as being religious, but in the episode "Der Inflatable Fuhrer" it is implied that Shake is a Scientologist. Shake had previously been depicted as a fan of Battlefield Earth (and a collector of 7-11 Cups related to the movie) in "Broodwich."

Unlike Meatwad and Frylock, Shake doesn't have his own bedroom in the house. The only mention of this in the show was at the end of "Handbanana." Because of this, it's implied throughout the show he simply sleeps on the chair or the floor in the living room in front of the TV. Shake has no official power, except his ability to shoot a substance from his straw, and to occasionally cause items that are released from his hands to spontaneously explode.

Famous quotes containing the words role in, role, teen and/or hunger:

    My role in society, or any artist or poet’s role, is to try and express what we all feel. Not to tell people how to feel. Not as a preacher, not as a leader, but as a reflection of us all.
    John Lennon (1940–1980)

    Where we come from in America no longer signifies—it’s where we go, and what we do when we get there, that tells us who we are.
    The irony of the role of women in my business, and in so many other places, too, was that while we began by demanding that we be allowed to mimic the ways of men, we wound up knowing we would have to change those ways. Not only because those ways were not like ours, but because they simply did not work.
    Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)

    Children ... after a certain age do not welcome parental advice. Occasionally, they may listen to another adult, which is why perhaps people should switch children with their neighbors and friends for a while in the teen years!
    Marian Wright Edelman (20th century)

    ... it is only after years and years that you can speak of penury in the midst of opulence, of hunger in the midst of almost sinful plenty. You must never speak of the immediate experience unless and until you have learned its consequent value. Otherwise you grow old in bitterness which is barren and futile....
    E. M. Almedingen (b. 1898–?)
