[Aqua Teen Hunger Force #34 - "Spirit Journey Formation Anniversary"]
The entire Aqua Teen Hunger Force episode #34, Spirit Journey Formation Anniversary has been posted to YouTube. If you haven't seen it you're in for a treat. It contains several Rush references and is funny as hell. Here's some background from Power Windows:
... During the episode, Master Shake puts together a metal version of the "Birthday" song, hoping to cash in on royalties, and says "it came to Geddy and I in a dream...Geddy Lee...lead singer of Rush" as Meatwad chimes in with "Rush! Geddy Lee!" and starts singing "Fly By Night". Master Shake later promises that Geddy would arrive in person, and when he doesn't show, denies this by saying "Geddy who?", to which Meatwad responds "Of Rush...of salesman?...Of SALESMEN!" In a later scene, Meatwad sings the keyboard solo of "Tom Saywer" as we see Geddy's jet airplane which is shaped like a bass guitar and has the Fly By Night owl on the nose, and Meadwad says "Hi Geddy - The River!". ... This episode first aired two days before the release of Rush In Rio and was followed by the episode of SeaLab 2021 titled "The Policy" (see above, originally aired Nov. 3, 2002), after which Adult Swim made the comment that they had just aired two shows in a row with Rush references, and no they did not plan that, yet they included in parentheses "Caress of Swim".
Neil Peart will be appearing in the upcoming Aqua Teen Hunger Force movie as discussed in this previous post.
