Two weeks ago, I posted a message to the nerds about an Aqua Teen Hunger Force contest being held at Comic-Con in which fans of the show could compete to play the role of Carl in a live-action episode of the show. I urged the nerds not to give in to this blatant mockery. I urged them to stand up for themselves, to brush the Cool Ranch dust from their thighs and say “no, we will not debase ourselves in a race to the bottom for the chance to be cast as an inhumanely disgusting caricature of sloppy laziness.”
Surprise, nerds no care. Here are some of them entering the competition.
The guy second from right is obviously the winner in whatever kind of meritocratic scale of measurement could ever be applied to this “contest,” but it’s the small white haired guy to the left’s story that I really want to know more about. Clearly he’s someone’s dad, and entering this contest is his way of showing them that he loves them. I have no idea what the guy on the right thinks he’s doing. He looks like he was just wandering through the Omni Hotel lobby on the way to the Tank Top convention and saw the other guys and was like, “This must be the line for the depression buffet.” And the guy on the left, as if this doesn’t go without saying, is your boyfriend.

Wow. Never before have I felt so good about myself.
I think the guy on the right thought they said “Will Ferrell” instead of “Carl”.
2nd from right: inspired by Carl
Far left: the living, breathing template & embodiment of Carl. The other three should’ve taken one look at those hair shoulders and turned right around to leave.
Dude on the far left is so much better than dude 2nd from right. You have no idea what you’re talking about.
AHAHAHAHA I can’t believe this. This is fucking funny. Oh and by the way. I’m the dude 2nd from the right.
Hey folks, just so you know I’m the guy that’s on the 2nd from the right. The contest was a blast. Dave Willis auditioned us and shaved the head of people. The guy on the far left was indeed the winner the only problem was that he couldn’t speak any english and had no idea what ATHF was. I think his kids just convinced him to do it. People keep asking me if I feel ashamed that I did this (and from the most part of this article the writer feels the same way.) But really, it’s just a character. I went to extreme measures to do this by shaving my head and coloring my mustache and now with my hair and beard grow back people find it hard to believe that is actually me. Being a film major you look for opportunities in acting that you believe can actually fit your personality and physical traits. I want to win this and I know people will look at it and say “Wow, what a fucking pathetic person.” But you know what? If you has the chance of being in a special live action episode of a popular cartoon wouldn’t you want to take a shot at it? Peace!
