Lap up that free puddin, Bill Cosby left it just for you!

Last night was the premiere of the second installment in the 9th season of Aqua Teen Hunger Force. In a bump before the episode, Adult Swim said that it was by far the most violent and disturbing episode of the season. I would agree with this and go even farther and say it would be the most violent and disturbing episode of the entire show.This episode is filled with dismemberment and tons of drug use including crack, cocaine, and heroine. The episode centered around a duck made of used condoms and heroin needles created by Frylock to help teach important lessons about not recycling condoms.

This was one of the first episodes to have even the tiniest shock factor on me. I have the feeling Williams Street is really going to push the envelope this season and see how far they can go. I'm very excited to see what they come up with this time around. Notable voice acting in this episode include: Don Kennedy(of Space Ghost Coast To Coast), and George Lowe(Voice of Space Ghost, etc.) Video and upcoming episodes after the jump.

Track listing and more after the jump...

Album Review: Steel Panther- Feel the Steel

Feel the Steel is the debut 2009 album for the comedy glam metal band hailing from (imagine this) Southern California. Steel Panther is made up of ex-L.A. Guns vocalist Michael Starr, Lead guitarist Satchel, bassist Lexxi Foxxx, and Stix Zadinia on drums. The band sounds and looks just like something that would of stricken the world in the 80s but they're a couple of decades late, but the girls...I mean guys made a good jump to the new millennium. First and foremost the album is the funniest thing I have ever heard (surpassing Tenacious D easily, sorry Cockpushups). The song names themselves don't even need narration (Asian Hooker, Eatin' Ain't Cheatin, The Shocker, Fat Girl (Thar She Blows), and the list just keeps growing). Steel Panther even reached into their bags of tricks and pulled out some big names for help on Feel the Steel. The vocalist god Corey Taylor (Slipknot, Stone Sour) helps out on 3 songs, Anthrax guitar hero Scott Ian lends his trusty Axe on Asian Hooker, and M. Shadows (Avenged Sevenfold) flexes his larynx on Turn Out the Lights.

Aqua Teen Season 9! Shake Flavor and A Magic House

Last night was the premiere of Aqua Teen Season 9. In a bump before the episode Adult Swim said that many questions would be answered. One of these was Shake's actual flavor. I was under the belief that Shake's flavor was pistachio. In the episode shake starts spewing his yogurt all over Meatwad's new room. The creators of the show have changed the color of his shake power to white. When meatwad asks what flavor it is Shake replies "It's None of your business flavor!" Other mysterious issues talked about in the show where Meatwad's ability to improvise the script and their house's magic ability to repair itself after every episode.

Buy a Dethklok Fountain Motha-Bitch!!!!

So apparently adultswim has created a 66" high marble fountain based on an episode of Metalocalypse. The fountain is a steal at $40,000 minus shipping and handling. The link can be found here http://www.adultswimshop.com/cat/Metalocalypse-Dethklok-Fountain.html. The ad even says its real so if I were you I would definitely buy one (maybe two) . The only thing I need to find is where all the blood came from.........
