To be fair, there are a handful of Aqua Teen episodes that haven't aged well but for the most part the show was absurdist but in a relatable way.

The Aqua Teens are a distorted caricature of the proletariat as the other in society but the story is from their perspective, which highlights the absurd contradictions of society.

Carl represents the petit bourgeois and one of his main character traits reflects this. Carl from the beginning of the show is defined not by what he does, because he doesn't do much, but by what he owns. His car, his above ground pool, his TV; these are what he rabidly defends from the unwashed next door. He's well aware that his neighbors are living in third world conditions but he actively scorns them rather than provide any aid.

The Aqua Teen's landlord is a literal vampire who refuses to fix the dangerous gas leak in their living room for basically an entire season, then kidnaps them when they don't pay the rent because of said gas leak.

So yeah, Aqua Teen isn't perfect but it was pretty based at times.
