Spacecataz
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Spacecataz is the name of a spin-off based on the animated series Aqua Teen Hunger Force. It was created by ATHF creators Dave Willis and Matt Maiellaro with the idea of running it for six episodes, but only the pilot was produced. The pilot has never aired in its entirety, but it is the focus of the cold openings for Aqua Teen Hunger Force's season 3 episodes. It is also included as a special feature on the ATHF Volume Four box-set.
The series shifts away from the Aqua Teens and instead focuses on the Mooninites, Ignignokt and Err, and Plutonians, Oglethorpe and Emory, all recurring characters on ATHF. They battle with each other in outer space unconventionally, by means of pranks, jokes, or simply being a nuisance.
The pilot episode was divided and placed at the beginning of episodes of Aqua Teen Hunger Force during its third season. They were fit to fill in any remaining time after the episode is produced, including the episode "Hypno-Germ" where only half a word was spoken. Season 3 ran for 13 episodes with more than half the pilot aired, but since cold openings weren't continued in season 4, they ended without the pilot's conclusion.

[edit] The pilot
Oglethorpe orders Emory to put their ship into light speed, so he can "tear ass around the galaxy". The ship goes to light speed, forcing them against the wall. As they fly by, Oglethorpe sees the Mooninites' ship and Ignignokt giving the finger. The Plutonians stop, sending them flying out the window.
Err sees the Plutonians backing up, so he and Ignignokt "double their pleasure" with two fingers each. The Plutonians attempt to give their own fingers, but find they are incapable of doing so. They moon instead. The Mooninites try to moon back, but their buttocks are too small to notice, so they flash their "digital dongs". Oglethorpe declares war.
Oglethorpe transports to the Mooninites' ship to throw a water balloon and disappears, but the balloon misses and doesn't even pop. While Oglethorpe tells Emory about the balloon, they hear a knock at the door. Emory opens it up to find nobody, though it was actually the Mooninites ding-dong-ditching them. Oglethorpe tries to prank call the Mooninites asking for "Michael Hunt." Ignignokt doesn't fall for it as they are using a video phone, and hangs up on Oglethorpe three different times. Err calls back and asks for "Holden McGroin" and "Oliver Clothesoff". After realizing he's been pranked, Oglethorpe throws a water balloon at the video screen.
Ignignokt decides it's time to send a message, so they write one on the Plutonians' ship with spray paint. The message, "we eat our own farts," is accompanied by arrows pointing to the Plutonians, who are standing behind a window. When the Mooninites ask him why he eats his own farts, Oglethorpe gets so mad that he smashes his head into the view screen. Emory suggests they just walk away, but Oglethorpe calls a pizza place, and places an order for 50 million large pizzas. The pizza delivery man is late, however, so the Mooninites get the pizzas for free. Emory and Oglethorpe get hungry looking at all the pizza that they teleport to the Mooninites' ship to try and get some. The Mooninites deny them any, and open the air lock, sending the pizzas through space.
Still hungry, Oglethorpe asks for some macaroni and cheese, but Ignignokt turns on the self destruct, which has a timer set at 30 years. As he and Err try to fix it, Oglethorpe offers to help, and they oblige. Oglethorpe sets the timer to 5 seconds while the Mooninites escape. Before it goes off, Emory hits the snooze button. Back on the Plutonians' ship, Err is putting up rock posters while Ignignokt shreds a guitar. When the Plutonians get there, Oglethorpe criticizes the Mooninites' self destruct system, and explains that their self destruct is set by saying the word explode. In saying explode, the self destruct is activated, blowing up their ship, and emitting a shock wave which also blows up the Mooninites' ship.
