Thank you. I hadn't caught part one when it went through, so these were quite the unexpected treat.

Is it just me, or is Charlie some sort of alternate-unicorn-universe version of Carl from ATHF?

Anyone demented enough to put this in the kids channel? It’s sure to give kids nightmares for years.

Sorry guys, but this just screams Aqua Teen Hunger Force.

Everything about it, the most obvious is Charlie being a direct rip-off of Carl's character. His voice, his comments, everything.

Not to mention everything about this story was completely taken from a few different Aqua Teen episodes.

I'm a huge ATHF fan, and this ha some similarities, but I certainly wouldn't call it a ripoff. Charlie is not that similar to Carl. Charlie never threatens violence, never does grotesque things, and never rocks as hard as Foreigner.

I'm not going to argue this, because it's somewhat irrelevant, because regardless this video has it's charms. But yes, it is an aqua teen rip-off. One of the most well-known and consistent things in Aqua Teen is that when something drops on the ground, it blows up immediately. That also happens here.

And Charlie's voice actor basically sounds like he's doing his best Carl impersonation. It's the same tone, and has the same exact accent. Not to mention they've both got the same type pessimistic attitude towards life (and when they're happy about something, watch out, it'll surely go horribly wrong).

Not to mention this entire story-line (if that's what you want to call it ) was taken from a couple Aqua Teen episodes all meshed together.
