Master Shake (often shortened to Shake or Cup) is a fictional character on the Adult Swim animated television series Aqua Teen Hunger Force (also known by various alternative titles). Master Shake is a lazy, selfish, arrogant life-sized anthropomorphic milkshake, who is a pathological liar and frequently torments Meatwad and annoys the rest of the characters for attention. Although his full name is Master Shake, he is mainly called "Shake" and in "Last Last One Forever and Ever" he is known as "Donald Shake". Master Shake was created and designed by series creators Dave Willis and Matt Maiellaro, and is voiced by Dana Snyder.
Like the other main characters, Frylock and Meatwad, Shake first appeared in the Space Ghost Coast to Coast episode "Baffler Meal", and then made his first official appearance in the show's first episode, "Rabbot". Master Shake was originally voiced by Dave Willis in "Baffler Meal" and was performed as a live action person by Jon Benjamin in the season six episode "Last Last One Forever and Ever". Master Shake has appeared in several video games and albums relating to the series including the 2007 film Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theaters. Shake has also made cameos in promotional material and other media outside of the series.
Master Shake, along with Frylock and Meatwad have lived together as roommates next door to Carl Brutananadilewski in a suburban neighborhood in South New Jersey, which is identified as Seattle, Washington during the eleventh season, and later Seattle, New Jersey. Shake is mean-spirited, extremely rude, cruel, selfish, lazy, arrogant, egotistical, and vain. He often tells pointless lies to get out of doing any work, and often boasts of having fantastic skills he clearly does not have. He very often displays narcissistic and sociopathic patterns of behavior, often playing cruel tricks on Meatwad. Shake has even gone to extreme lengths, such as committing suicide to haunt Meatwad as a ghost, or putting Meatwad's pet cat into a microwave. He oftentimes enters into confrontations with Frylock, who serves as a protective father figure to Meatwad. Like Meatwad and Frylock, Shake's gender is not talked about, but he's a male (though Frylock claims in the episode "Ezekial" that he has no penis). Despite his often violent and cruel behavior, he will sometimes express shock at immoral actions committed by other characters, and in at least one instance claimed to have "standards." As with other characters in the series he is frequently subjected to non-canon injury and/or death.
