Aqua Teen Hunger Force Needs A Real Life Carl

Are you a fat, hairy, crude asshole who likes to wear flip-flops and sweatpants? Aqua Teen Hunger Force want to make you a star.

The Adult Swim show is in the midst of developing the first-ever “live-action” episode (or as close to live action as you can get when your protagonists are all talking, floating fast food products), and they just announced that they will be holding an open casting call for the role of their depraved neighbor Carl. The search will begin next Saturday (July 26) at the Omni Hotel during the San Diego Comic Con, where the show’s co-creator, Dave Wills (who also voices Carl) will be on hand. Watch Carl getting wasted and cutting his nipples off after the jump.
