The ninth season of the animated television series Aqua Teen Hunger Force, alternatively titled Aqua Something You Know Whatever (or ASYKW), originally aired in the United States on Adult Swim. This season had a total of ten episodes, premiering with "Big Bro" on June 24, 2012 and ending with "Totem Pole" on August 26, 2012. The show is about the surreal adventures and antics of three anthropomorphic fast food items: Master Shake, Frylock, and Meatwad, who live together as roommates and frequently interact with their human next-door neighbor, Carl Brutananadilewski in a suburban neighborhood Seattle, New Jersey, a fictional location which is completely identical to their other previous homes seen in past seasons. In May 2015, this season became available on Hulu Plus, and in May 2020, it became available on HBO Max.
