“My name is…”

It’s really hard for me to see ATHF ending its run (at least that is what we’ve been told so far). It’s also hard to wrap my around the idea that I have 15 years’ worth of memories of show when I was both young and an adult. I can remember “ way back in the day” watching the early episodes late at night during my summer breaks from school; ATHF was one of the first “big kid cartoons” that I had to sneak out of bed and watch with the volume turned to whisper quite to not wake up my parents. In high school, one of the first things I bought with my own money were the season DVDs, which is strange to think how getting an entirety of a show’s episodes was a new and exciting concept at the time, and how DVDs are now slowly going away. I also got an ATHF t-shirt around the same time, which got me a bit of welcome attention form people I now call friends. During my college years working at small jobs during my semester breaks, this show was always something that was around and nice to relax after a hard shift. I know that a good number of people I knew either hated this show, or simply did not get it, which made it sort of special in my eyes. It had that great balance of Strange yet relatable, which you now in a lot of comedy today. To me, what made ATHF funny was not what was being said, but those realistic, “close to home” silences between the frustration and confusion between the characters.

Thank you “Aqua Teen” for being that one show that was always there for me. You had a lot of influence on my style of humor and creativity. You will always be number one in the hood, G.
