with a scar under his left eye. Frylock has a goatee
, braces, and a blue gem
which gives him "The Power of A Thousand Suns" and contacts
which give him the power to shoot lasers out of his eyes, as demonstrated in "Laser Lenses". Both of Frylock's arms are french fries, with no fingers. Frylock does have french fry legs, which appeared only near the end of "Rabbot Redux", but he generally floats around. Frylock also does not have ears or hair. Just like Meatwad and Master Shake, Frylock occasionally wears clothing, but does not on a regular basis.
In "Last Last One Forever and Ever
" Frylock is shown as a live action person by T-Pain
, who wears a yellow top hat
and a red track suit with a black stripe going down the sleeves, two golden amulets of the mooninites, and a felt version of Frylock's beard on his track suit. In "Baffler Meal," he has no beard, a definitive crinkle-cut arms and legs, and instead of a diamond he wears a chained amulet
which he uses to "sense hungry teens".Originally, Frylock was going to be a wizard, but soon that idea was changed. The writers wanted to still have a wizard aspect to his character, and then finally incorporated the laser eyes seen on the modern version. At the end of Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theaters, Frylock appears as a woman, with breasts, a mole, and eyelashes, his fries have been styled to resemble pigtails, his goatee is blonde, and he is wearing lipstick, eyeliner, and does not have a scar.
and Meatwad
have lived in a suburban neighborhood in New Jersey
, next door to Carl Brutananadilewski
. They have since moved to an identical neighborhood in Seattle, Washington.
Frylock is often seen as calm and tolerant, until something goes wrong. Of all the main characters on the show, Frylock is often depicted as the smartest and most mature. Frylock often acts like a father figure to Meatwad, by protecting him from Master Shake's pranks. Frylock often protects Carl, Shake and Meatwad from doing things that could harm themselves or others as well. This is especially apparent in the season two
episode, "The", when Frylock leaves Carl, Meatwad and Master Shake alone, and they are unable to live properly alone.
Similar to Master Shake's "Shake Power" and Meatwad's ability to shape shift, Frylock has "Frydar", a circling fry that protrudes out farther than all the other fries in his container. He uses his Frydar to find scents and brain activity. Frylock has the ability to shoot his fries out of his head that regrow afterwards. This power was never used on the show outside of the opening sequence, however, he eventually uses this power in the movie while first fighting a giant poodle and then Dr. Weird towards the end of the movie.
It is strongly implied that Frylock is responsible for finance support for himself, Meatwad and Master Shake. Just like Master Shake and Meatwad, Frylock was a detective for the first three episodes of the series, until the concept was dropped. In "Total Re-Carl" it is revealed that Frylock is a scientist, when he receives a letter addressed as "Doctor". In "Der Inflatable Fuhrer" it is implied that Frylock supports himself, Master Shake and Meatwad by doing free-lancing scientific work.
Like Master Shake and Meatwad, Frylock does not have an official gender but he is strongly depicted as a male. Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theaters claims that Frylock is actually a woman trapped inside of a man's body, and that she is a lesbian. This claim has not yet been confirmed or denied.
In the series Frylock does not appear to have a family, but in The Movie it is claimed that he, along with Meatwad and Master Shake, are creations of Dr. Weird. The movie also claims their father is a watermelon, and their mother is a nine-layer bean burrito. In 2010 during the "Aqua Teen Hunger Force Live" tour, series creator Dave Willis confirmed that Dr. Weird is indeed the creator of Master Shake, Frylock, Meatwad, and Chicken Bittle, making them all brothers. During a special New Year's Eve event
, on Adult Swim in 2003, it was revealed that Frylock is the creator of Thundercleese, a robot character from The Brak Show
.
Frylock's age is never officially determined. In "Rabbot Redux" it is mentioned that Master Shake is "almost forty" and Meatwad is thirty-eight. It is assumed that Frylock is roughly the same age as Master Shake and Meatwad, as they were all created by Dr Weird around the same time. Frylock is not typically depicted as being religious, but in the episode "Bad Replicant," he claims to want to join the church up the street while having Meatwad and Master Shake sing hymns with him. Also, in the episode "A PE Christmas" Frylock is seen in church meaning he does belong to a religion. It is further clarified in the Aqua Unit Patrol Squad 1 episode "Intervention", that Frylock has a personal faith in Jesus Christ when introducing Christianity to Carl to help him overcome his constant drinking problem However, the exact religion Frylock belongs to is still not officially determined, for his religion needs more clarification with more episodes.
