Arguably the most unique, creative and insanely funny animated cartoon concept since the introduction of The Simpsons.
The ATHF team consists of three anthropomorphic fast food characters
Master Shake,
Frylock and
Meatwad, their jerky Joisey neighbor Carl and his swimming pool, and various comrades and nemeses.
The most popular villians are the
Mooninites, two BS-spewing, Atari 2600 sprites who threaten dominance over earthlings but are actually about 28 years behind in development.
ATHF had its origins as a concept for an episode of Space Ghost Coast to Coast where Space Ghost goes to a fast food joint, orders a bunch of food, but is unable to pay for it. The restaurant arranges for their mascots to appear as guests on his talk show and the mascots hijack the show.
The episode was never made, but the characters were pitched to Cartoon Network by their writer/creators Dave Willis and Matt Maiellaro and they got their own show.
The ATHF characters live in New Jesey, but the show is produced in Atlanta. Its creators are originally from Pensacola, FL, and Conyers, GA.
