Surreal(ly)? Why ‘Succession’ star Brian Cox is on ‘Aqua Teen Hunger Force’

Adult Swim after an eight-year hiatus and with its original title — no surprise to series co-creator Dave Willis.“The network cancelled the show,” he told The Post. “I think Adult Swim is probably run by a lot of whimsy. ‘Aqua Teen’ was always successful, even at the end, but speaking for myself, maybe it was nice to take a break from it.“I always knew that cartoons don’t ever die,” he said. “Look at ‘Scooby Doo’ — they’ll be making that long after the apocalypse in one form or another.”The surreal, gotta-see-it-to-believe-it “ATHF,” co-created by Matt Maiellaro and airing Sundays at 11:30 p.m., revolves around three anthropomorphic roommates with sketchy powers: bossy Master Shake (a life-sized milkshake, voiced by Dana Snyder), Frylock (a box of French fries armed with laser-beam eyes and a goatee, voiced by Carey Means) and Meatwad (a childish ball of meat who can morph into different shapes).

They live in in South Jersey next door to their human friend/foil: hirsute Carl Brutananadilewski, a fringe-bald politically incorrect, guttural man-child with a bad mustache who’s always dressed in a sleeveless T-shirt and sweats.

He’s obsessed with cars, girls and the NY Giants (not necessarily in that order) and is voiced by Willis, who also voices Meatwad.“Aqua Teen” never totally went away; after ending its original run in 2015, there was a direct-to-video movie, “Aqua Teen Forever: Plantasm,” released last year as a sequel to the 2007 big-screen movie “Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theaters.”Willis, who calls the new five episodes “a micro-mini nano season,” said he and Maiellaro didn’t change too much in bringing the series back after its long layoff.“It just came back organically,” he said.
