In Aqua Teen Hunger Force season 3 episode 6 titled "The Cubing," the eccentric group of meatball, milkshake, and fry characters find themselves entangled in an unusual turn of events. When Frylock purchases a hypercube to improve his cubing skills, things take a strange turn as the group gets sucked into an alternate dimension.
As Frylock works to perfect his cubing techniques, Master Shake and Meatwad find themselves preoccupied with their own foolish endeavors. Master Shake becomes obsessed with the hypercube, while Meatwad tries his hand at a new hobby—collecting Chinchilla Dust.
Despite Frylock's warnings, Master Shake can't resist his temptation to touch the hypercube. When he does, the hypercube explodes, sending the group on a wild ride through different dimensions. Throughout the episode, the trio must navigate an array of absurd situations, including encounters with zombie versions of themselves and a multidimensional space god.
As the group struggles to find their way back to their own dimension, they must come to terms with the consequences of their actions. Frylock recognizes the error of his ways, realizing that his obsession with mastering the hypercube led to their chaotic ordeal. Meanwhile, Master Shake and Meatwad learn that there are far more important things in life than petty obsessions and material possessions.
Despite the surreal and often absurd nature of the episode, "The Cubing" also touches on deeper themes, including the dangers of obsessive behavior and the importance of friendship and self-reflection. The episode represents a departure from the show's typical episodic structure, instead offering a unique and immersive experience that will keep viewers on the edge of their seats.
