Back in the mid-2000s when this episode aired, Boost Mobile ads were absolutely rampant during Adult Swim's commercial breaks. So the show creators may have had some promo money sent their way, but maybe they also saw an opportunity to poke some meta-fun at the network.
This episode is a mid 00’s time capsule. Also yes Shake like me is banned. But it’s worth finding. Low key the funniest episode they’ve made. Y’all would love it.
The episode of Space Ghost with the original Aqua Teens, didn’t end up airing until AFTER this series started lol, but it was the prototype for the characters
They cancelled the Aqua Teen ep of Space Ghost while writing it because they decided Aqua Teen was funny enough to be its own show. Then later, they decided- Aqua Teen was so successful that they should just make the Aqua Teen ep of Space Ghost anyway afterall and that's how Baffler Meal became real.
@stevenstamper7904 bro working sprint/nextel was one of my first jobs and boost support was there too and it was already dying, they were cutting that team hard (early 2000's)
The entirety of the conversation that happens on the lawn is one of my favorite all time bits. Carl's "isn't it clear" rant is so good. I've used the "look at him looking at me" chunk IRL a few times.
"No, no, I'm good. I'm in the credits." was probably one of the best endings to an episode I think about it when I donate $1 to a Kickstarter and it finally comes out
Shake Like Me was banned from Max and other websites in 2020 due to Shake portraying "Black Face" in the episode after getting bitten by a radioactive black man. Safest and most sure bet is to buy the volume 6 dvd, but you can find this episode on other websites
Bros the joke for this episode is they keep playing commercials for Boost Mobile all the time all day all night on Adult Swim so Aqua Teen just made this entire episode making fun of their channels biggest Advertiser.
These commercials were so annoying lol, like no offense to Boost, but to understand this episode you need to understand Boost was running TOO MANY commercials on Adult Swim to the point that it was driving us all crazy including the people who make Aqua Teen lol.
I was 7 years old watching that episode and I’ll always remember Frylock telling Meatwad that it wasn’t appropriate for him to watch the robots go at it
I used to do boost Mobile because it was like $60 a month but when I went out of state to a more rural area I was completely dead so when I got back I switched to Verizon so I would have adequate coverage in both of those places.
What's wild is Boost and Axe actually had no official hand in any of this, nor did they pay the creators for it, and the entire episode is pure satire that takes the piss out of product placements & sponsorships. In the DVD commentary Matt Maiellaro and Dave Willis, the creators, say they were mocking such products that aggressively market to young audiences.
For real? That's bullshit. They have almost the entire episode broken up into clips on their youtube channel. At that point why chicken out on the DVD?
Funny enough, they DIDN'T have a boost sponsorship for this episode, they were just making fun of the commercials. Also the phone is played by Killer Mike, an og adult swim mainstay.
It may not have been direct sponsorship, but there was definitely some money coming from there. We used to joke that adult swim would have show breaks in between boost mobile commercials.
If you have a vhs copy of the Mask lying around, baffler meal plays after the credits. Or a DVD copy of Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film For Theaters has it as a special feature.
Shake-Like me is banned but I think you can still see it on independent youtube channels and some of the BOX DVD sets. They actually did have it on MAX because I do remember seeing it.
For your next poll you should put “intervention” and/or “Bart Oates”. Two of the best Carl episodes and intervention actually has Idris Elba as a guest star
Fun fact: this episode was made to mock an ad they made for promoting AT&T. this wouldn’t be the last time either, years later they did commercials for Jack links jerk and then had an episode mocking the product in mouth quest called honest Abe Lincoln’s hot links
I think it’s one that they did, but it got messed up. I hope they’ll give it a revisit like they did with _The Shaving._ I don’t think there’s a single ATHF episode that I got all the laughs out of on just the first watch. A second helping is always welcome.
@ItchyBurritoMiniAltThingy Oh it's fantastic, no complaints. Just wanted to drop Morel Orel in here in case they're looking for more. Most people I see react to it don't really appreciate it, but I feel these 2 would get the full gravity of it and uncomfortable laugh their asses off.
Trying to find Space Coast is BRUTAL. I wanted to get the series on DVD, it eventually led to me having to get an Australian box set and a region free DVD player!!
The Baffler Meal episode is a part of the SpaceGhost Coast To Coast series.So it wouldn’t be in the episodes collection of Aqua Teen on any streaming service,it would be on a collection of the Space Ghost episodes,which I do believe is on Max. The Aqua Teens were originally supposed to be side characters in that series,but the execs didn’t see the appeal,so they reworked them into they’re own little show.After that got greenlit and they’d already made the pilot,they then got the ok to make the Baffler Meal episode,which aired first.
Really? I thought they said Baffler Meal aired before Rabbot due to scheduling issues, even though the first season of Aqua Teen had finished production in one of the episode commentaries. It’s been a while since I watched the commentaries, so I may just be remembering it wrong. How did you get into the series? When I was a kid, my big brother rented the movie from Netflix when they still sent you the DVD in the mail and he, my sister, and I all watched it together and busted up laughing!
@@hugbugwills9518 I have been watching Adult Swim on day 1 and they only aired baffler meal like a few months after Aqua Teen started up, either around new years in 2001 or maybe the year after. They actually originally scrapped Baffler Meal but felt like making it later would still be fun especially since Aqua Teen became Adult Swims number one show.
Because I got curious, turns out Motorola was the first company to make cell phones, AT&T (known back then as Ameritech Mobile Communications) was the first cellular network. Boost started in 2001, so kind of fitting for the time ATHF was around. #themoreyouknow
Under the vast expanse of the starry night sky, three cowboys sat around a crackling fire, the warmth of the flames casting flickering shadows on their faces. As they passed around a flask of whiskey, the conversation drifted from tales of the trail to deeper, more personal matters. Jake, the eldest of the three, spoke first, his voice low and thoughtful. "Y'know," he began, "there's been talk of how in the old days, men would turn to each other for comfort in ways folks today might not understand. It wasn't just about gettin' by; it was about trust, connection, and sometimes… something more. It's said that those acts could bring men closer, build a bond that was as strong as any friendship." The other two cowboys, Sam and Will, nodded in agreement, their faces serious as they listened. Sam, always the thoughtful one, added, "Ain't no shame in it neither. Back then, you did what you had to do, but it wasn't just about needin' someone-it was about wantin' to be close to someone who understood you better than anyone else. They say those bonds could last a lifetime, stronger than the love of any woman." Will, the youngest, looked at the two older men, a mixture of curiosity and something else in his eyes. "Maybe it's somethin' worth tryin'," he said quietly, his voice barely above a whisper. As the night grew darker and the fire burned lower, the three men moved closer together, the weight of their conversation hanging in the air. They began to explore the intimacy they had spoken of, tentatively at first, then with growing confidence. As their bodies intertwined, the night was filled with sounds-wild, untamed noises that echoed the primal connection they were forging. In those moments, they discovered a new kind of bond, one that went beyond words and gestures, a bond that was as old as time itself. When the fire finally died down, they lay in silence, knowing that their friendship had been transformed in a way that only they could truly understand.
I remember when i was young boost mobile was known for walkie talkie functions. Also one of the oldest phones i seen was tracfones and i remember the new case was the multi color shiny metallic and everyone was like wow thats awesome😂 it had very few functions but it did have the OG snake game.
Yea this episode was messing with the commercial that Luda, Kanye and the Game had for boost mobile. That’s why Shake kept asking were you at the whole city behind ya? It was the jingle for Boost Mobile at the time which was very catchy.
"Shake Like Me" is a good example of why physical media is important. Content owners can edit their stuff for TV, delete it from every website connected to them, etc. But they can't take it off physical media!
Another nerfed video 🤦🏿♂️ but nonetheless I GOT DA WHOLE CITY BEHIND ME DAWG
Boost Mobile has the algorithm boost you need!
don't worry I've been using this website in every device for the last 10 years It's completely safe and works with ad block.
Turns out that Baffler Meal is available on the Internet Archive. I didn't know it was that obscure
Serial face phone-dropper. Habitual line-stepper of phone-dropping. Also...Space Ghost is fun...but try out Frisky Dingo if you can.
Plex has Space Ghost Coast to Coast. There's probably more that does too. I just told y'all the first one I saw.
"why are you dancing? You're poor"🤣
My favorite line of this episode. It’s too real for a Carl line.
Carl lines are always CLASSIC 😅
Top 10 Carl lines right there
"He blow drying his MEAT!?" You're boy Hobbs is wild!😂
It can not be overstated how often I heard that chirp sound in the early-mid 00s
That chirp haunts my dreams!
"You're black! You sound black. Where are you from?"
If I recall correctly, they reran this episode more than any other back in the day. They definitely had some kind of deal with the company.
The creators got a gift basket from Boostm😂
Thats probably why it annoys me lol

Yeah it got removed from streaming services during the height of the BLM protests in 2020 I believe.
True, IDK how they can get it tbh
Piracy trololo?
@@KillstormSH are you talking about the one where he’s bitten by a radioactive black man, where was it before?
@@kraevorn7483 That's the one! And it was on HBO Max and Adult Swim.
I have it if anyone wants it. I already sent it to them as well.
The Boost Mobile phone is voiced by rapper Killer Mike
Yeah he did a few things with Adult Swim around this time. He was great in Frisky Dingo as rapper/President Taqu’il.
Also in the new ATHF movie Plantasm killer Mike sang the intro song!
All these years, I never knew that was KM…
Boost Mobile = National Roaming = WHERE YOU @ DAWG!!!
You hear that chirp?
Isn't it clear?
13:35 this stupid dance Shake and the phone does has lived rent free in my head for over a decade lmao

it's crazy cause its the ONLY time ever in the series that the ending was changed
This is probably the most 2000s episode of ATHF out there. 😂
devin is desperate to get a prediction right and hobbs just casually nails it every time
Devin overthinks it, and it’s just not that kind of show.
Shake Like Me is still on the Volume 6 DVD. You can probably find it on some of the more shady streaming sites online, too. Lol!
This!
Yo dawg, where you at?
I was told back in the day, the real Boost mobile customer service line would answer with, “Where you at, dog!?”
Shake Like Me was banned from Max and other websites in 2020 due to Shake portraying "Black Face" in the episode after getting bitten by a radioactive black man. Safest and most sure bet is to buy the volume 6 dvd, but you can find this episode on other websites
That piercing on the straw is just shake's prince albert lmao
I love how absurd and meta this episode is. So happy you guys got to it XD
I've been waiting for this say where other black people saw the "You're black!" audio. This cracked me up when I saw this as a teenager.

You need to watch the episope "E-Dork". It covers similar ground but is more insane.
I was 7 years old watching that episode and I’ll always remember Frylock telling Meatwad that it wasn’t appropriate for him to watch the robots go at it
@@gustavoalmanza2673 I'd have said the same thing. I was in my early 20s.
"His meat... PAUSE PAUSE!!"
Southside, Outside, Westside, Let's ride!
That's how I remember Boost Mobile
Holy crap, I just learned Killer Mike voiced the Boost Mobile phone.
Whaaaat
YO DAWG WHERE YOU AT?

For real? That's bullshit. They have almost the entire episode broken up into clips on their youtube channel. At that point why chicken out on the DVD?
It’s like THAT? 💀💀
they did the samething with moral orel they were to scared on how dark it was going.
Its on UA-cam on Adult Swim. But its divided in like 5 videos. You'd have to work some editing magic, lol. @MacmanUltra444
First off, this is a classic episode.
Second, this is how you do a sponsored episode.
Third, nice shoes Hobbs
Ey where ya at, dawg
Ey where you at dawg
Funny enough, they DIDN'T have a boost sponsorship for this episode, they were just making fun of the commercials.
Also the phone is played by Killer Mike, an og adult swim mainstay.
And member of Run The Jewels
I died when I realized half of RTJ was that dude who did Blam Blam on the ATHFCMFFT soundtrack

Loved this episode when it premiered. So much of the time, like a time capsule!
Man you need to watch the Laser Lenses episode!
These two watching Morel Orel would be the new peak youtube.
I agree, especially with Hobbs watching South Park. It's basically the Butters (Horror) Show
@Memanruler The Butters horror show is an amazing description!
ATHF AND SpongeBob is already incredibly peak tbh
@ItchyBurritoMiniAltThingy Oh it's fantastic, no complaints. Just wanted to drop Morel Orel in here in case they're looking for more. Most people I see react to it don't really appreciate it, but I feel these 2 would get the full gravity of it and uncomfortable laugh their asses off.

Boost gave the cast a gift basket for their payment. To watch “shake like me”, it’s on the dvd.
Buy it used yo!!!
Shake like me is season 6, the last season of aqua teen released to dvd. It'll be on ebay for 10 dollars or a record shop
I have a digital copy, I just sent it to them ;)
Yo dog, Where you at?!?! >XD
Boost Mobile and Axe Body Spray were like 90% of the commercials on Adult Swim back when this first aired
Before the logo was visible, I really thought mans was getting a third pair of headphones.

Shake like me was taken down for being very not pc regarding race. It wasnt that bad compared to alot of South park jokes but it was interesting
I could only find Baffler Meal on UA-cam, the full one rofl
Also Shake Like Me was ABSOLUTELY banned roflll
it's on the official adult swim site~
(baffler meal, not shake like me. for that one might need a dvd)
Luckily it still exists digitally in some places. I had it on my hard drive so I sent it to them.
