Meatwad is a fictional character in the animated series Aqua Teen Hunger Force. He is a mostly peaceful, childishly simple-minded mass of compressed meat that was not approved for human consumption. He is voiced by Dave Willis.

Meatwad rolls and hops to get from one place to another. Being made of ground meat, Meatwad is a shapeshifter. Although the hot dog, and igloo are his two main shapes, he has also morphed into a star, a hammer, a "meat bridge", a fist, which extends its middle finger, a potted flower (although he can only do this while under the influence of prescription drugs), and a "Samurai Lincoln". He also turns into a spider-like creature in the episode "Hypno-Germ", though this might be the hypno-germs altering Frylock's perception of reality. Meatwad can also form triangular arms. He can form at least four at one time. Shake and Frylock usually use him to pull a wooden cart called the "Danger Cart" for transportation since they can't afford a car. Other than his shapeshifting, Meatwad doesn't really have superpowers (though several stories focus on plots where he gains powers through unnatural means; such as a t-shirt, a cat-toy brain, and an overabundance of static electricity).

Meatwad's room is empty except for filth, his "dolls" (see below), a jambox, meaningless crayon scribblings on the walls (some show crude depictions of his house mates), a colander, and a bed, which is a grill with hot coals under it (although he sometimes sleeps on a bed of sand instead). He has a closet full of sand, which he eats with ketchup on occasion. At one point, Shake is also shown eating it. The light switch by his door has been removed from its socket and lowered so he can reach it. His body consumes all waste materials, so he never needs to go to the bathroom. He compares it to the Thunderdome, except "Two men enter - no man leaves."

Simple, gullible, and widely regarded as a child, with a doe-eyed stare and nearly-toothless crooked grin that reflects his simple-mindedness, Meatwad is constantly abused by Master Shake through his half-thought out practical jokes. His brain is actually a brain-shaped squeaky cat toy. Frylock often acts like Meatwad's parent, trying to educate him and protect him from more mature themes (and from Shake's verbal and physical abuse). Shake does give Meatwad information on important things (like brushing your teeth), but usually skews the facts to favor him. Despite Frylock's attempts however, Shake rages on and the Mooninites have repeatedly exposed him to excessive swearing, violence, drugs, and pornography.

Meatwad also has a more sinister side and can become quickly corrupted. The Mooninites have persuaded him to commit crimes on several occasions, and once Meatwad has any kind of power he focuses his megalomaniacal tendencies on Shake. This side of Meatwad reached its apex when, after brandishing a semiautomatic pistol and threatening everyone present, he shot himself in front of Shake, Frylock and their guest, Tera Patrick. Less gruesome examples have him using the robotic body developed by Frylock after Carl was decapitated to exact his revenge on Shake: throwing him up in the air and blowing him up with a missile, becoming king of the Mucus Men and having Carl suffocated in snot, and subtly manipulating Shake into getting more and more plastic surgery until Shake is a hideous freak.

Meatwad has been shown to be a rather large fan of rap and hip-hop, playing songs from MC Pee Pants, Sir Loin, and Little Brittle and the C-Bag (all reincarnations of one character, voiced by the artist mc chris) over and over again, usually late at night while his roommates are trying to sleep, thus incurring their wrath. He was converted to heavy metal once after being tricked by Sir Loin, but he began listening to rap again later. Meatwad has demonstrated the ability to shred on the guitar.

Meatwad has developed considerably since the first season. He has become somewhat more intelligent, and he frequently outsmarts Shake in the later seasons. His relationship with Shake has also changed. Whereas in the first seasons his relationship with Shake is pure contempt, later on Meatwad forms a rough friendship with Shake (based on their mutual stupidity), often to Frylock's detriment.

Dancing- Meatwad loves to dance. He does this a lot in the MC Pee Pants episodes. On many promos and even in the main theme song you can see him do this.

Singing- Meatwad also sings on several occasions. He usually quotes verses from various songs from bands such as Rush. Or he just sings Mc Pee Pants songs like "For Da Shorteez" "I want Candy" or "Come Visit Me Dawg"

Video Games- Meatwad also enjoys playing video games; in many episodes he is seen playing what looks like an outdated Atari 2600 system. The episode "Video Ouija" centers around him playing a video game to contact the dead.

It has not been officially stated what Meatwad's age is but many clues reference to him being a young child. In "Spirit Journey Formation Anniversary" Shake asks Meatwad to try their kids zone, and when Zakk Wylde is about to appear Meatwad exclaims "Hey it's snowing they're going to cancel school!" In "Robositter" Frylock builds Meatwad a babysitter. Also in "Robositter" he pointed out that if he were to get a job it would be a violation of child labor laws. In "Super Trivia" Frylock pointed out that Meatwad is not old enough to drink. Frylock gave him a time-out in "Super Spore".

Meatwad cannot count very well, can only scribble, believes in Santa Claus and plays with dolls who he thinks are real. In many episodes Meatwad watches young child TV shows. He says they are his favorite shows. Meatwad often will fall for pranks that only children would fall for. In the episode "Revenge of the Trees" however, Meatwad talks about having to pay "child support payments," and of his "wife leaving him".

A contradiction is found in Spirit Journey Formation Anniversary, where Meatwad states that he does not know his age, yet believes it to be about fifty-five. This may be due to Shake's asking him if he was fifty-five or fifty-six.

Meatwad is occasionally shown playing with dolls and other toys made out of household items, which he considers his "friends". He is fiercely loyal to these and all other imaginary friends.

• Vanessa is an apple. According to Meatwad, she is supposedly an investment banker.
• Dewey is a spent paper towel tube. According to Meatwad, he is an engineer on the Supertrain (although the description constantly changes). It should also be noted that Shake had used it as a telescope before Meatwad turned it into a doll.
• Boxy Brown is a cardboard box sprouting an afro. He may be more than imaginary in that unlike Dewey and Vanessa, he speaks to Meatwad and sometimes seems to know things that Meatwad doesn't. He is a send-up of blaxploitation heroes, most notably John Shaft. His name is a play on Foxy Brown. Whenever Boxy begins to speak, a funky 1970s beat begins to play in the background. He has been called "Duke of New York; A #1," a reference to Escape from New York. Meatwad is often intimidated by Boxy.
• Squirrely is a stiff squirrel. Meatwad smokes him with his static electricity power in "Balloonenstein". Squirrely is also seen at the beginning of the episode "The Dressing", where it appears as though Squirrely is kept inside of Meatwad's body.
• Jeffy is a coiled up garden hose. Only appears in the episode "Boost Mobile". Shake claims to kill him with his mind. Meatwad seems to be aware to the fact that Jeffy is only a garden hose.
• Happy Time Harry was one of meatwad's dolls for one episode (Dumber Dolls). He is a nihilist and eventually drags Meatwad down into depression until the very end of the episode.
• Jiggle Billy is a doll that Meatwad wanted to buy. Frylock eventually gets it for him in the middle of the episode Dumber Dolls but Meatwad did not really care about Jiggle Billy anymore. Jiggle Billy also appears in other episodes such as "The Last One"
