Aqua Something You Know Whatever (or ASYKW) is the alternative title given to the ninth season of the animated television series, Aqua Teen Hunger Force. The ninth season originally aired in the United States on Cartoon Network's late night programming block, Adult Swim. This season premiered on June 24, 2012 with "Big Bro" and ended with "Totem Pole" on August 26, 2012, with a total of ten episodes. This season focuses on the surreal adventures and antics of three anthropomorphic fast food items: Master Shake, Frylock, and Meatwad, who live next door to Carl Brutananadilewski in a suburban neighborhood in the fictional location Seattle, New Jersey, which is completely identical to their other previous homes seen in past seasons.

Episodes in this season were written and directed by Dave Willis and Matt Maiellaro. Almost every episode in this season features a special guest appearance, which continues a practice used in past seasons. This season has been released in various forms of home media.
