The best part is how the parasite emerges fully familiar with the characters, presumably because it's been experiencing everything Carl experiences and actually perceives itself as Carl.
Means Carl was probably already dead for some time and his body was being controlled by the parasite. Which would explain why he was eating bugs and crawling on the ceiling.
For me, it's right behind, "... just say Smith again, it don't matter. None'a dis matters." Of course, it's so hard to choose when you have gems like, "Ever since my son was... never conceived because I've never had consensual sex without money involved... I've always kind of looked at you as a... thing... that I could live next to, in accordance with state laws." And the whole "funeral" in Super Birthday Snake. Yeah, I can't pretend to know what you're going through right now, but... you let go, okay? Thank you. If you need anything, you know who to look to: someone else. Don't - don't beat yourself up over this. There's nothing you can do about this. I mean, it _kinda_ was your fault, but... but, hey - screw it; they're dead and you're not. ... is this a cemetery? This is a construction site, isn't it?"
So I guess Carl would consider them as frienemies without wanting to admit it. Kind of makes me think of how Squidward will occasionally be with Spongebob and Patrick.
I love how Carl doesnt even care that his body is literally falling to pieces so long as Frylock keeps to his deal and gets him a case of beer. That beer is more important to Carl then Carl's own life.
I like how with all the weird shit they've seen over the course of the show, somehow a giant bug coming out of Carl's body (who seems completely friendly), is what makes them run away.
I like how they established that Carl needed to drive over to the ATHF house in his car so that the last shot of the episode with them driving away in terror made sense.
Carl could truly give the dragon balls a run for their money, given the number of times he's died throughout the series. But I think this has to be one of the most painful one of them all - getting eaten from the inside, losing organs and body parts, then split open into *_PARADISE BABY!!_*
This was the very first episode of ATHF I ever saw. I was nine when I first saw it, I wasn’t allowed to watch the Adult Swim cartoons but snuck up past my bedtime to watch it anyway. When the bug came out of Carl it traumatized me. The scene of the parasite enthusiastically jumping up and down on his body has never left my mind. At the ripe old age of 26, I’m now a more fucked up individual, but I’d like to think I’m wiser and funnier for having grown up with this type of humor.
I like to imagine that whenever the characters die, and some are left over it’s just an alternate reality that takes place in another timeline separate from the prime one.
For a show with an intentionally low budget, I'm surprised they actually spent the time to put "6 Grams of Parasites" on the nutritional facts. But holf **** is that a lot of sodium
I find the ingenuity of placing the video in a cartoon TV of aqua teen's style to circumvent the copyright detection algorithm highly entertaining. Especially since you still distorted the aspect radio. 40 up tokes to you.
That scene cracks me up so much. Meatwad: "I want lips like a tomb raider"...Shake: "Get your hot funnel cakes, straight from the Tomb Raider!"..."I'm conflicted: part of me wants to just show it to him and then woof it down in front of him, and yet another part of me wants to feed it to him and see him lose the bet!"
