In Aqua Teen Hunger Force season 5 episode 4, titled "Dickesode," the focus turns to Meatwad, who is feeling insecure about the size of his penis after seeing Carl's in the shower. Frylock tries to boost Meatwad's self-esteem by using his scientific know-how to create a device that will make his genitals larger, but the results are unexpected.
As Meatwad's penis continues to grow to unheard-of proportions, he soon finds himself in danger as his new appendage attracts unwanted attention. Various characters, including the Plutonians and the Cybernetic Ghost of Christmas Past from the Future, each have their own reasons for wanting to get their hands on Meatwad's member.
Meanwhile, Shake and Carl are having their own problems. Shake becomes jealous of the attention Meatwad is receiving, and Carl is dealing with an unusual medical issue of his own. Eventually, the situation spirals out of control, leading to a showdown between all of the show's major characters.
Like much of Aqua Teen Hunger Force, "Dickesode" is a raunchy and surreal episode that pushes the limits of what is acceptable on television.

The episode's jokes range from subtle to overt, with plenty of visual gags and wordplay that will appeal to different kinds of audiences.
But at its heart, "Dickesode" is a character-driven episode that explores the insecurities and desires of its main cast. Meatwad's quest for self-confidence is a relatable theme, even if the show's approach to it is anything but conventional.
