Overview:
MC Pee Pants is taking everyone back to school with his own unique brand of teaching everyone how to take advantage of the rich and elderly. Music included, MC P Pants covers the basics of convincing rich old men that you are their long-lost child and gaslighting their other children. And who else would hope to get the most out of a course such as this than Carl.
Our Take:
It was a shock to all when Aqua Teen Hunger Force made its return in a collection of animated shorts titled Aquadonk Side Pieces. However, one of the first thoughts on most fan’s minds was if we would see the return of beloved MC P Pants. Performed by American rapper/performer MC Chris, MC P Pants is one of the stand-out characters that made the original Aqua Teen Hunger Force series the hit it became.
Thankfully, we did not have to wait too long, as the third episode of Aquadonk Side Pieces is a complete three-minute monologue from the rapping spider. In fact, it is like MC Chris took to the studio and delivered a sketch that he had been working on for the seven years since the series ended and dropped it in one go.
It is like we forgot what we have been missing. Unfortunately, there has not been much from MC Chris since Aqua Teen Hunger Force ended. The talented comedic rapper is well-deserving of a starring spot in his own Adult Swim series. And if we get nothing else out of the Aquadonk Side Pieces shorts, at the very least, we got the return from this dynamic jokester.
There are so many strong little details making this a fun animated short. Never even mind MC Chris’s unique brand of comedic rapping. The animation fills in the extra pieces, including making it evident the spider is using a green screen to record his tutorials. The music videos are filled with clever montage footage. And Carl’s invested attention to the lessons helped top the whole skit off.
With seven more episodes planned for the collection of 3-minute shorts, it is hard to see how Aquadonk Side Pieces will top themselves after bringing back MC P Pants. The infomercial style episode packs in more humour than many of the shows that have come and gone on Adult Swim since Aqua Teen Hunger Force was cancelled. And if they were not thinking about bringing the show back before, they should be now.
All three Aquadonk Side Pieces episodes are currently available on the Adult Swim YouTube channel now. Prepare yourself for nostalgia and laughs. And thankfully, there are still more on the way, with a promised ten episodes in the complete collection.
