C&C - Aqua Teen Colon: April Fools, Trailers, Speculation [4/1 - 4/12]

[Zach Logan]

Let's see what happens.

[Rolling Cloud]

Yes, lets! I told my friend Alex about this. And, he said that he understood the tentativeness of this.

For my opinion, I'm going to laugh at whatever happens. I have back-up shows!

[Kitschensyngk]

They're still not showing the movie.

I'd bet money on it.

[Don_East]

Place your bets:

50 to 1: Regular Schedule
100 to 1: Saved By The Bell Marathon
500 to 1: They Actually Show The Movie
1000 to 1: The postponed Bleach, Blood+, & Eureka 7.

[Desensitized]

PHF again.

[Zach Logan]

Place your bets:

50 to 1: Regular Schedule
100 to 1: Saved By The Bell Marathon
500 to 1: They Actually Show The Movie
1000 to 1: The postponed Bleach, Blood+, & Eureka 7.

Are those real? Id go for #3.

[Rolling Cloud]

Are those real? Id go for #3.

Off-topic: Zach, Anything Else/Cards/Schedule! still has its joke title.

On-topic: I'll laugh at whatever happens.

EDIT: They actually went through with it? HOLY SHIESS!

[LordTerminal]

Holy crap! THEY'RE ACTUALLY SHOWING IT! (I think!)

[Don_East]

Holy **** there showing it.

[Swordfish_II]

*waits for the catch*

[.Automatisch]

It's a trap!

[Rolling Cloud]

What the Sh*t am I watching?

Again, what the FRIG?

[LordTerminal]

I guess this makes up for last night's PHF marathon they stuck us with. (Sorry PHF fans but I couldn't get into it)

EDIT: Oh looks like it's a practical joke after all.

[Swordfish_II]

Lol! Pwnt! :d

[Alaskanbullworm]

HA, I knew something like that would happen.

They're actually showing it in the corner! So tiny.

[MorotheWolf]

And we have the catch, ladies and gentlemen.

[Don_East]

THERE'S THE PUNCHLINE! I got this on tape!

EDIT- I can't go on like this, none of the Family Guys tonight I like.

[Master Moltar]

I see what they did there.

[Senira]

I should've seen that coming.

Bravo, AS, bravo. I totally forgot it was April Fool's day.

[Humble]

Holy cow. They're so ****ing obnoxious.

I love it!

-Humble

[Zach Logan]

I Won The Bet!

[LordTerminal]

Well this still beats out last night's joke.

[The Myst]

This is great so far. I can almost figure out what's going on!

[jbanks97]

It's 1 Inch wide! less than that tall!
Aqua teen hunger force colon movie film for theaters on TV!

(Brilliant)

[Neo Ultra Mike]

I guess that's technically the movie though it's not in any watchable shape. That's probably the joke though. I wonder how this will work though for commericals since they said anti commericals but they're going to have one for Futurama and co right?

[Master Moltar]

The bump said it would be airing with commercials, actually.

That was pretty clever though.

[Ishtar]

That was great. They actually show the start of the movie for like the 1st 5 mins, but then switches to Futurama. The movie is still airing, but it's a tiny picture in picture with no sound on the left hand corner.

[Rolling Cloud]

ROTFL!! AS are total crapheads!!!! :lol:

[Kitschensyngk]

And we have the catch, ladies and gentlemen.

I KNEW IT!!!
I SO FREAKING KNEW IT!!!

Oh, for a moment there I thought I was wrong!

EDIT: HA! It's not even commercial-free!

[MorotheWolf]

Well this still beats out last night's joke.

I agree. At least the comedy people have their night somewhat intact.

[Ahiru-kun]

AS is truly the Andy Kaufman of TV networks.

[Humble]

Oh Gawd. Dr. Weird just stripped.

-Humble

[Vyse]

Wow. [as] has suprised me again. Nice job with the fake-out and making the movie so friggin' tiny.

Now, crazed anime fans who think they (by they, I mean [as]) hate anime, STFU until 2008 (or until another excuse comes up).

BTW, The Masters begin Thursday on CBS. (typo: should have been USA on Thursday)

[USSManhattan]

Is it wrong I saw this coming the whole time, yet I'm not laughing? In fact, that I'm pretty pissed of, even?

I didn't know nearing 22 made you an old fogey...

[SpaceCowboy]

I had kinda predicted that it would shrink to extremely small size on the screen at some point, like those channels that squish the end credits of movies. :D

[The Koopinator]

Well, I guess it wasn't false advertising. I was hoping for Stripes, but this was hilarious too.

And this is comedy so there won't be mass *****ing.

[Master Moron]

Oh Gawd. Dr. Weird just stripped.

-Humble

Please don't tell me you're actually watching the tiny picture in the corner?

[kewlmyc]

Well, they didn't lie about it. They are showing it.

[Emperor Fred]

Not that I wasn't completely expecting something like this...

but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little disappointed.

[Rolling Cloud]

Futurama's boring!!! And, Alex's going to be slightly pissed tomorrow!

[Humble]

Please don't tell me you're actually watching the tiny picture in the corner?Nope. Just noticed the Dr. for a few seconds. It'll ruin the fun of seeing it in theaters. :p

-Humble

[The Myst]

Please don't tell me you're actually watching the tiny picture in the corner?

I've been glancing at it to see if it spoils anything big.

[Rolling Cloud]

Now, they're shoving it in the comedy fans' faces!

[email2003]

WOW! I'm actually watching the movie on Adult Swim!!!!!!!!! Great movie so far guys huh!? LOL! :p

[Mr. Ralph]

yeah it's got some very funny dialog!!:p;);)

[Rolling Cloud]

Very witty lines!!

[v1cious]

well they didn't lie, they are actually showing it... LOL

[Kiryu]

Well this is mildly disappointing, after what they pulled yesterday I expected something a bit more... grandiose. There's really nothing negative at all, everyone got a preview of the movie and amusing ads, along with those promos with the fire and all during boring reruns to keep them interesting. Here's hoping they pull something later on tonight:shrug:

[Dangerous_D]

I fell like going down to there office and kicking every single one of them in the balls for what they did last night

[Duke]

Here's hoping they pull something later on tonight:shrug:
Why would they pull something on April 2nd?

[Inkan1969]

Aqua Teen Hunger Force COLON Movie Film for Thumbnail. :D Someone will have to blow the picture up and put the movie on youtube. ;)

[sag_2002]

Well, this at least comes close to making up for last night's PHF marathon. I wasn't buying it when they announced the movie was gonna be shown on TV at the convienient April 1 date, and I knew they were gonna pull something. Props to AS for actually keeping their promise, while pulling the annual prank.

However, I still say last year's Chuck Norris/GITS Fart episode/Mr. T prank is the best of all time, unless something comes along in the future to change that.

[LordTerminal]

Now we're watching the Aqua Teen Movie while watching the tv show. Watching Aqua Teen while Aqua Teen, that's just messed up.

[Rolling Cloud]

Now we're watching the Aqua Teen Movie while watching the tv show. Watching Aqua Teen while Aqua Teen, that's just messed up.

I'd say it's very Ironic!

[Kiryu]

Why would they pull something on April 2nd?

probably the same reason they pulled stuff yesterday when it was still march 31st for most people... they are bastards and like to mess with people :sad:

[peacebyanymeans]

probably the same reason they pulled stuff yesterday when it was still march 31st for most people... they are bastards and like to mess with people :sad:

They didn't do anything until Midnight (AKA April 1, not March 31)

[J.E.Smith]

For all we know they'll probably just cut back to the movie right when the credits start...unless that wavy stuff just now was them.

I wasn't paying attention to the movie the whole time, but it looked as if Shake was missing his hands and Meatwad was really fat there a few minutes ago.

EDIT: Well the screen is gone now so I guess those were the credits then.

[Kiryu]

They didn't do anything until Midnight (AKA April 1, not March 31)

it was still 31st for people in alot of time zones though, me included, thats all I was saying. But yeah, doubt anything will happen.

[Zach Logan]

Don't worry guys, this thread is staying up. :)

[Peter Paltridge]

Has this been YouTubed yet? I don't mean I want something where someone actually tried to blow up the microscopic video and submit that. I mean I want to see how the whole thing went down: the first minute, then the shrink.....

[Moto Pete]

i was so pissed i went to the bathroom came out and bang they made ite changed small i was hopeing that they would have made it big again if inly for a few secs every half hour or so

[ShadowGUN]

Very clever AS. I thought they were gonna pull the same thing they did Saturday but they didn't.

[J.E.Smith]

Actually I thought it would have been funnier if they showed it all but have them all speak a forgein language or something with no subs.

[Beat]

It was funny and intrusive, but not nearly as intrusive as PHF.

The whole thing didn't really scream "Gotcha!" so much as it did, "Watch the Aqua Teen movie, in theatres April 13th."

And dumb question- Did anyone else think that dancing black guy looked like Will Smith?

[Fan of Sponge]

So I guess they showed a sneak preview of the movie on April Fools Day to get people to buy tickets when the movie comes to theatres on April 13. Nice move from executives to get people and fans pumped about the movie and that it is the truth. Hopefully the movie comes to my small town.

That Futurama episode was good and probably one of the best episodes for that entire series.

[Antiyonder]

Now, if I was to give my full opinion on this movie, the page as a whole would probably crash, so I'm going to be as brief as possible.

The ATHF Colon Movie was just this really powerful, moving drama with a lot of heart. The humor was beyond brilliant, especially that scene where
The characters did a little of this and a little of that.

It's right up there with Batman: Mask Of The Phantasm, Batman Beyond: Return Of The Joker, Gargoyles: City Of Stone.

[Rolling Cloud]

That's where you lose me as an agree-er!

[TheMecca]

Holy crap.
I saw it coming, but it was still amazing.
Saturday night was hilarious too.

[sarita]

Okay so last night, during the bumps, they were showing artwork for the movie...and there was this one shot where they zoomed in on Carl's crotch. :ack: I really didn't need to see that. Now I'm scarred for life. Thank you, Adult Swim.

[Duke]

Not like it's the first time they've zoomed in on Carl's crotch.

[Kury Wagner]

Now I'm scarred for life. Thank you, Adult Swim.They'd take pride in hearing that.


Not like it's the first time they've zoomed in on Carl's crotch.You'd know. =P

[Kitschensyngk]

Did anyone see on the schedule page ahead of time that last Saturday's scheduled premieres were on for the week after as well? Perhaps some of us should have seen something coming.

[Duke]

Yea, some of us did and we mentioned it in the other thread. But it was quickly glossed over.

[J'onn J'onzz]

it was still 31st for people in alot of time zones though, me included, thats all I was saying. But yeah, doubt anything will happen.
You're watching an East Coast feed. So yeah, they're going to pull pranks on Eastern Standard Time, and advertise shows with their East Coast times.

[Anarky]

if athf is successful enough to greenlight another [as] movie film project for theaters, which would you like to see next?

My first choice is The Venture Bros., however, if they can wrap up production in time, I'd think a Boondocks film following the presidential candidacy of Barack Obama would be ripe w/ satirical potential.

[Dracula_Marth]

Well for the ATHF:MFFT prank, i knew something was going to happen when they had the TV Parental Guidelines rating (or as i call them: TV Content Rating) of TV-MA. the commercial had said TV-MA LV... dang, i pay too much attention to the ratings.

[AlltruismNervana]

Since the April fooly cooly on us like that was going to happen anyway .. duh!

So I am not going to watch the dumb trailer it may be some virus that attacks your computer if you do not go to the movie or somthing.

On the contray, I believe we need more such shots.
I love you carl (wheres a simlie with a big heart when you need one :sad: )

disclamer: again a joke (with my scene of humor, I'm going to need a lot of disclamers :sweat: )

[livingfruitvirus]

Damn, it's not playing at any of the theatres in my area.:crying:

[Mr. Manager]

Over here, it's playing at a few AMC Selects, which air some indie flicks and limited releases. It's also showing at one theatre with mainstream movies and a few other smaller theatres that show niche movies.

[Draft]

Im gonna check if it is in my area in a sec

ATHF soudtrack on iTunes for 10 bucks. The Masterdon song and the last song are album exclusive.

edit: Pfft, closest location is hr+ away.

I'm impressed it's even showing, since i live in New England and the bomb scare and all that.

[J'onn J'onzz]

Man, I watched that Deleted Scenes episode today. I really hope the movie is better than those scenes. Really, we did not need to see Carl with a broom shoved up his ass.

Closest theatre playing it here is 45 minutes away.

[Don_East]

The local movie theater chain in my home town actually has the movie in two theaters. Each 30 minutes from my house, unfortunately it's not in the best part of the town.

[Mittenz]

Boston's going to have the movie tomorrow despite what happened back on 01-31.

[Classic Speedy]

This is off-topic but there was a trailer for Paprika before ATHF. Kinda cool.

As for ATHF, I'm not sure how I feel about it yet. There were certainly laughs but it felt like it ran out of steam too soon. Front page review coming soon once I get my thoughts in order.

EDIT: Since the movie is now out and the talkback thread is up, all discussion should go there. Locking this...
