The Voyage Of Turkatron

I am Turkatron. I have come from the year 9595 to save this bird that lies before you for he is the great, great, great, great grandfather…of Goblox…the turkey that’s destined to lead the rebellion against master chickens.
Since I’m not in the mood to be all sappy and giving thanks today (I’ll save that for tomorrow maybe, though it’s generally not my style), I decided to share with you some of my favorite quotes from one of my favorite episodes of Aqua Teen Hunger Force, The Dressing. It’s their Thanksgiving-themed episode featuring the infamous Turkatron. That’s him up there.
Turkatron is the font of wisdom I only wish I could be. After all, he’s from the year 9595 and knows all about the rebellion against the master race of chickens. We can all be thankful for the fact that we have a show that prominently features binge-drinking robot turkeys from the future.
Here’s some quotes:
Turkatron: Do you know who Goblox is?! I will tell you who Goblox is. In the year 9595, a race of deformed turkey was genetically developed by chicken scientists as revenge against his bird brother. These turkeys would exit the womb doused in gravy; gravy filled with the giblets…from a monkey. The French craved it, and, as a result, turkey became the only food source for France, which is now called RoboFrance 29. I was later killed by the chickens! So, of course, you can see why I’m angry at those chickens.
Turkatron: Is that a taco pie?
Meatwad: Mm-hmm.
Turkatron: Taco pie?!
Meatwad: I added food coloring ’cause it’s a holiday, but it turned black ’cause I added all the food coloring I had. And I ate this butter straight out of the tub, ’cause it tastes good. There’s a reason behind everything.
Shake: I think he’s really from the year 9595.
Meatwad: I think so too
Shake: Did you hear his story?
Meatwad: I heard it, and it checks out.
Shake: It is solid.
Frylock: Yeah, Shake, in the future they all carry their belongings in a plastic bag.
Shake: That is a future bag, I say that with all confidence.
One last quote that will get us ALL through the holiday season:
Turkatron: Pass me more wine, I shall require it to finish.
Indeed, Turkatron. We could all use a little more wine.
I give you this to add to your silliness…
and would beg your indulgance for content.. but that would be me lying.

Wow, now that is great! I almost wet myself on that one!
ATHF is always a bonanza for quotes, holiday-related or otherwise.
I think they’ve got the best holiday specials on TV. No matter how many times I see Willie Nelson, I still laugh.
