It all starts when [[Shake]] watches a 50 year old tv show called "The Granite Family" and he wants to act like it. He said that he want to go back in time to be like "The Granite Family." Frylock suggest that he use a time thong, the milkshake say "thongs are for dogs, I have a plan that's about million times better." Even Meatwad says that he don't want to go back to the past ( as he wears one), it rides up on him.

[[Master Shake|Shake]] is watching ''The Granite Family'' and starts complaining to [[Frylock]] that it has no relevance to his life or anyone else's. Frylock states that the show was written in the 1950s and that Shake is indeed watching a re-run. After Shake and [[Meatwad]] discuss other television characters for a few minutes, Frylock offers Shake the ability to travel back to the stone age with his "time thongs." Shake mocks Frylock and leaves the house, claiming he has a better idea.

Later on, Shake is participating in a tour of the White House and sneaks into the oval office. He calls Russia to insult them (mistakenly calling them communists, long after their converting to capitalism), claim to be "Barrack Obama," and tell them that he's going to fire several nuclear weapons, specifically missiles, at the country, which he does. A secret service agent tackles Shake to the ground, but it is too late. Russia fires missiles back, and soon a nuclear war is waged.

In Washington D.C., shake pretend to be into a tour group, he sneaks into the president room. He look around to make sure nobody there, once the coast is clear, he pick up a phone and speak to the president of Russia, he curse them out and called them communists, he told them that he Barack Obama, pressed the nuclear button, and sent a missle strike. Master Shake chants "U.S.A.! U.S.A!" The columns of the White House are actually the nuclear missles. In Moscow, Russia, the Orion Dome columns are missles too. In space, Ignignokt and Err watch the earth getting destroyed, Err don't know what it means, Ignignokt explains its to him, they say "with cha-ka." On earth, frylock was horrified that earth is blown up, he frantically goes to Carl house, the trio goes inside to see him nude with a blow-up doll saying these last fleeting moments. An astonished frylock ask him that he got a bomb shelter, an excited carl show him, meatwad, and shake to it. Shake hates it because of canned food and a filter, they heard explosions out there.
 
   
  +
Meanwhile on the moon, [[Ignignokt]] is amused that Earth is "remaking ''The Granite Family''." [[Err]] has never heard of the show, and the two exchange words about television and movies.
−
Carl tries to get his flat screen, but the power then goes out in the bomb shelter and Carl uses a generator to give them light, though it will only be effective for two and a half hours. When shake use a dead bird, saying to poop in a rhino mouth, and threatened to eat meatwad, frylock chews him out by saying " WE AIN'T THE GRANITE FAMILY!" [[Frylock]] tries to assign specific duties on everyone, and Shake is the one to go up to the surface to dispose of the poop bag, after meatwad crapped into it. Carl drinks by keg stand.
 
   
  +
Back on Earth, Frylock is amazed to see that Shake has indeed started a nuclear war, but Shake is ecstatic about getting a remake, not that this is true. The [[Aqua Teens]] walk into Carl's house to find [[Carl Brutananadilewski|Carl]] having intercourse with a blow-up doll. Frylock hurriedly reminds Carl that he has a bomb shelter.
−
Shake notices that the Earth is destroyed and not at all like in ''The Granite Family''. Then a man named [[Time Warner]] comes from the future but is late to warn Shake not to recreate the show. Frylock, Meatwad and Carl then put on time thongs to prevent Shake from recreating the episode. However, Time Warner then comes down with him to the shelter to put a stop to his shenananigans. Frylock then tell Time Warner people do it, he and shake name a bunch of movies including " Time Bandit, Terminator, The Butterfly Effect, Time Cop and Time Rider, The Adventures of Lyle Swann. " when he said " Brain Song", Frylock snaps and goes back, Meatwad and Carl travel elsewhere, while Shake beats down Time Warner, he travels back to meets and beat down the Shake trying to re-create The Granite Family and Frylock ambush him by locking out the one stopping the one trying to re-create the show. This creates a paradox that ends up giving Shake presidency, frylock ask how they two of them (he didn't know there was three of them snice the second shake knocks out the first shake.) He got kicked out by a guard. The Shake that stopped the Shake trying to-recreate the Granite Family then mocks Frylock while he bangs on the door for president shake, much like in the opening of ''The Granite Family''.
  
   
  +
The four of them make their way into Carl's bomb shelter, which Carl has turned into his "man cave." After Carl shows them his poster and speakers and Shake insults the food supply, Frylock and the others take a moment to appreciate the grim outcome of the world. Realizing he left his "flat screen" on the surface, Carl attempts to go back and get it. The Aqua Teens hold him back, and the power goes out. Carl turns on his generator, only to realize it will only work for two and one half hours. Shake continues to not understand the situation by using a dead bird to unsuccessfully play a record. The bird is contaminated with radiation, however, so Frylock throws it out. Frylock tries to comfort Meatwad, only to begin crying about Santa Claus being turned to "a pile of goo." Carl and Shake continue to not understand how serious the situation is, and Meatwad presents a bag that he has defecated in. Frylock cons Shake into taking the bag outside. Frylock begins to formulate a plan to use the "time thongs" to travel back in time to stop the nuclear war.

During the credits its revealed that this whole thing was an episode watch by time warner as a network executive. He did not find it believable, but the fox decided he likes it after making a suggestion. He say "sundays at nine!" The episode ends.

Outside, Shake starts to realize that the remake of ''The Granite Family'' is not happening. A mysterious time traveler appears and states that his name is [[Time Warner]]. He claims that he time travels to warn people that if they use ideas from his movies, he'll sue them. Meanwhile, Frylock continues to explain his plans to Meatwad and Carl, but they question why he made a thong instead of something practical like a ring or a belt. Time Warner teleports into the room with Shake. Frylock explains to Shake that he's going travel back in time to prevent Shake from destroying all life on Earth. However, Time Warner states that it "doesn't matter" because he's going to go to the future to sell ''The Granite Family'' remake to "this fox," who exclaims "Woo-hoo" in a voice similar to that of Homer Simpson. Time Warner goes on to say he owns time travel. Frylock states he cannot possibly own all of the movies involving time travel. The characters list off movies, to which Time Warner continually say, "[I] Own it."

Frylock travels back in time, as do Meatwad and Carl. Shake says, "I am legend," referencing a film about the last man on Earth. He asks if Time Warner owns it, and Time Warner states that he does, stuttering greatly until Shake finally knocks him out.

Revision as of 17:11, 22 May 2015

"The Granite Family" is the 5th episode of Season 9 and the 115th overall of Aqua Something You Know Whatever.

Plot

Shake is watching The Granite Family and starts complaining to Frylock that it has no relevance to his life or anyone else's. Frylock states that the show was written in the 1950s and that Shake is indeed watching a re-run. After Shake and Meatwad discuss other television characters for a few minutes, Frylock offers Shake the ability to travel back to the stone age with his "time thongs." Shake mocks Frylock and leaves the house, claiming he has a better idea.

Later on, Shake is participating in a tour of the White House and sneaks into the oval office. He calls Russia to insult them (mistakenly calling them communists, long after their converting to capitalism), claim to be "Barrack Obama," and tell them that he's going to fire several nuclear weapons, specifically missiles, at the country, which he does. A secret service agent tackles Shake to the ground, but it is too late. Russia fires missiles back, and soon a nuclear war is waged.

Meanwhile on the moon, Ignignokt is amused that Earth is "remaking The Granite Family." Err has never heard of the show, and the two exchange words about television and movies.

Back on Earth, Frylock is amazed to see that Shake has indeed started a nuclear war, but Shake is ecstatic about getting a remake, not that this is true. The Aqua Teens walk into Carl's house to find Carl having intercourse with a blow-up doll. Frylock hurriedly reminds Carl that he has a bomb shelter.

The four of them make their way into Carl's bomb shelter, which Carl has turned into his "man cave." After Carl shows them his poster and speakers and Shake insults the food supply, Frylock and the others take a moment to appreciate the grim outcome of the world. Realizing he left his "flat screen" on the surface, Carl attempts to go back and get it. The Aqua Teens hold him back, and the power goes out. Carl turns on his generator, only to realize it will only work for two and one half hours. Shake continues to not understand the situation by using a dead bird to unsuccessfully play a record. The bird is contaminated with radiation, however, so Frylock throws it out. Frylock tries to comfort Meatwad, only to begin crying about Santa Claus being turned to "a pile of goo." Carl and Shake continue to not understand how serious the situation is, and Meatwad presents a bag that he has defecated in. Frylock cons Shake into taking the bag outside. Frylock begins to formulate a plan to use the "time thongs" to travel back in time to stop the nuclear war.

Outside, Shake starts to realize that the remake of The Granite Family is not happening. A mysterious time traveler appears and states that his name is Time Warner. He claims that he time travels to warn people that if they use ideas from his movies, he'll sue them. Meanwhile, Frylock continues to explain his plans to Meatwad and Carl, but they question why he made a thong instead of something practical like a ring or a belt. Time Warner teleports into the room with Shake. Frylock explains to Shake that he's going travel back in time to prevent Shake from destroying all life on Earth. However, Time Warner states that it "doesn't matter" because he's going to go to the future to sell The Granite Family remake to "this fox," who exclaims "Woo-hoo" in a voice similar to that of Homer Simpson. Time Warner goes on to say he owns time travel. Frylock states he cannot possibly own all of the movies involving time travel. The characters list off movies, to which Time Warner continually say, "[I] Own it."

Frylock travels back in time, as do Meatwad and Carl. Shake says, "I am legend," referencing a film about the last man on Earth. He asks if Time Warner owns it, and Time Warner states that he does, stuttering greatly until Shake finally knocks him out.

Much earlier, Shake, who is now wearing Time Warner's time travel vest, arrives at his destination and knocks out a past version of himself.
