Adult Swim has hit upon the inspired, or perhaps insane, idea of producing a live-action episode of Aqua Teen Hunger Force. I bring you this news mostly for the excuse to run a picture of Frylock—who will be played by rapper T-Pain—atop this blog. 

The episode, which airs May 31, features Jon Benjamin as Master Shake and an exercise ball as Meatwad. In perhaps the most shocking bit of casting news—over 100 people voluntarily competed to be cast for their physical resemblence to sleazy neighbor Carl. The winner: 23-year-old Dave Long Jr.

    Who would you cast as Ol’ Drippy?

    And if they could get David Cross to come back as Happy Time Harry, I’m pretty sure I’d pee myself – and I’m not ashamed to admit it.

    Awesome. David Cross, that would be great but I fear it wont happen. There is too much that could be done with doing the show live to included in only one episode.
