The older I get the more I love and appriciate Adult Swim and Toonami. They gave us experimental, they gave us scary, they gave us weird and fuckdd up, they gave us anime, they gave us visual drugs, they really did the most and let creators have fun. It was an honor to grow up with them.
As a Boston resident, I'm gonna chime in on the 2007 bomb scare situation because this video is honestly the best video I've seen about it. only the cops and boomers took it seriously, like everyone under the age of 50 knew it wasn't serious. I was in middle school at the time and if you knew what Aqua Teen Hunger Force was, you were laughing your ass off to the local news channel that day. The lost episode is is also fucking hilarious, 10/10.
As a Stoner who was often awake at the 4am block, a lot of these really messed with me. I remember the first time I saw the remixed slapchop commercial, my friend and I could not believe what was happening. We laughed so hard that we missed a good amount of the show that came on afterwards.
I really wish, out of all the shows, they'd bring back Moral Orel. Maybe it was a bit too much at the time, but in current year, on current [AS]? It would be perfect! And there's so, so much good music to discover in Season 3 specifically, along with it being the most important season (although you'll get less from it if you only watch Season 3 without 1 or 2).
tbh with you i enjoyed that show but i personally miss metalocalypse a bit more, just recently found it through the website streams adult swim has running and forgot how funny i found it at times, not to mention the music that i used to not be a huge fan of back then is a total bop for me now.
Moral Orel was really ahead of it's time and we just weren't ready for it. If anything the satire of it is even more relevant and funnier now than it was when it aired.
Adult Swim is the only cable channel that is run like an internet community. They nailed how to manage a CZcams fanbase years before CZcamsrs figured it out. It's the same vibe right down to the playful antagonism that all CZcams channels with good fanbases and creative engagement have.

Random story, but the night adult swim first premiered I didn’t think my mom would let me watch it. When I told her about it she said she didn’t care. I watched almost every new show that premiered that night, and the next day a bunch of the other kids in my class talked about it I remember being so glad I didn’t miss out on it after that. I grew up in the 90s so adult cartoons weren’t new, but seeing an entire block of them for the first time was something else, especially on Cartoon Network

ANOTHER MOREL OREL FAN YESSSS! There's actually a prequel I think called Before Orel. Little Orel is wholesome 😭 it's so weird the fandom is just now starting bc I'm starting to see a lot of analysis videos and compilations from the show
I'm so glad someone else has the same love for watching Inuyasha as a kid. other than pokémon and dragonball which i watched with my older brothers, Inuyasha was my first anime :) my childhood best friend and i would hang out at his house and watch it all the time!! i still hold it very near and dear to my heart
I swear, they aired Saved by the Bell for longer than two weeks. They easily must've aired for a few months, because the episodes just kept airing and airing. They also aired PeeWee's Playhouse for what felt like a few years in 2006-2008. I honestly love that period; there was so much weird shit airing.
To be fair, the Adult Swim wiki could have totally lied to me. Maybe Saved by the Bell aired for longer than two weeks. Omg I remember when PeeWee's Playhouse used to air on the network. Adult Swim between 2005 and 2010 was so strange, yet super enjoyable to watch.

The early days of AS were a bunch of old shows getting an another stream light till to manage to have their own IPs. It was nice seeing peewee and save by the bell
I remember when adult swim first launched. I’ve actually been thinking about all of the weird shorts and little side sketches in cartoons that used to come on and I for the life of me can never remember any of the names so I’m really happy this video exists now
Likewise. I used to watch O Canada and The Bob Clampett Show on Sunday nights on CN before Adult Swim premiered. Most things are at their best in the very beginning because they're new experiences for the person enjoying them.
Watching this entire iceberg. For the longest time I thought half of things on here were extremely vivid fever dreams I had when I was 10. Glad to know I wasn't crazy.
I'm very nervous about this video. Although this iceberg is super condensed, it's now the longest piece of content I have ever uploaded to this channel. I've taken a lot of the advice given to me by you guys from the previous icebergs and have applied most of your suggestions to this project. Hopefully all of my hard work payed off. It's definitely not a perfect video, but I hope you at least find it entertaining/enjoyable to watch.

One of my biggest regrets when it comes to Adult Swim is not saving my DVR recording of the "Aqua teen Movie premier" when Adult Swim showed it in the corner. Mostly because there was a hilarious moment that synced up perfectly and nobody else seems to remember it. During the "Drunken Irish Dad" song from Family Guy that aired that night, a human male character (I believe he was black) popped up on screen and began dancing in time with the song. If I remember correctly, it was during the line "We Irish lads are all infirm and our moods infect us like a germ!" It was so damn funny and to this day I have no idea if it was intentional or it just worked out that way. If anyone has footage of this, I'd love to see it again. If for nothing more than to prove to myself I didn't dream this.
@@randomprimary I don't remember the accurate name of this package, but it was on pirate bay and it had all episodes, full movie, full prank movie, some alternate endings, commercials and some obscure shorts. I think it's still there, although it was few years ago.
Well to me Somewhere 2000's in old shows they never put Toonami Saturday night until [adult swim] anime without Toonami Tom. By til then Toonami becoming [adult swim] in 2012 now those are true Saturday nights in [adult swim] not Cartoon Network Saturday night.
I’ve heard people say that Boston’s response to the Mooninite signs was purely for political spectacle. Elections were coming up and at the time it was popular to appear as tough on terrorism cause it was Bush era xenophobia peak season. There were already signs like that up for up to 2 weeks in other cities. I’ve heard many people say that the Boston gouvernement wanted to appear strong and responsive to voters so even though they knew it most likely was completely nothing, they went out of their way to try to make it something. Definitely on brand for America at the time.
26:00 My dude I grew up with Sailor Moon, DBZ, and Ruroni Kenshin on Toonami. Then when I was a bit older Cowboy Bebop, Yu Yu Hakusho, Paranoia Agent on Adult Swim. I cherish these memories of staying up extremely late playing PS2 to catch new episodes during the summer.
I'm so damn thankful to have found this video. Not just because it's been put together so well, but because of the April Fools segment involving the cats prank, which haunted me for years because I thought it was just a fever dream I had.
I grew up watching late night cartoon network blocks and late night g4tv. Every once in a while I watch late night streams cause of how laid back it is. This brings me back. Nice video.
Waking up throughout the night while watching adult swim back in Early/mid to late 2000s was a treat, from dank bumps and commercials to a quick laugh only to go back to sleep. That was peak lol
Great job! I really enjoyed this and this is coming from someone in 2001being a teenager then and just remembers the strange shows that came on late at night and heard about some after. It's a interesting Iceberg that's educational highlighting a lot of it's content in the time line.
I began getting into adult swim when I was 13 and watching reruns of family guy, american dad, KotH. And on my 23rd bday to see the final family guy episode and the goodbye bumper. I teared up a bit. The show I began watching adult swim on said its goodbye 10 years later.
Fantastic video! Subbed Really really well reaserched. There's a lot of things I didn't even know about in this lol here in South America they stopped airing Adult Swim on Cartoon Network around 2010ish and it started airing at night in another channel called ISAT, so there's a bunch on stuff included in this video that I missed out on
Not really a huge Adult Swim fan but i usually just let this play at night.. kind of like one of those "raining at night ASMR" videos 🤣 keep them coming
I remember one of the black background white text bumpers.. One time I was just a black screen it was a few seconds of silence then said "Bet you didn't know I could talk. No one's going to believe you." I only saw that one once
Fun fact about Sam Hyde, people often do believe the whacky memes about him doing shootings and terror attacks and other such things. Example, a verified twitter account tweeted a photoshopped pic of Sam in a jet believing him to be the "Ghost of Kiev". It's actually fascinating what a high tier level of shitposting surrounds his existence.
I'm very happy that you enjoy it so much. There are a lot of things that I would love to go back and fix/adjust on this video, but it makes me feel good that there are people who truly find it comforting. Thank you!
@@ZeroOmens of course man!! You are one of what i like to call "primary youtubers" i watch!! I just put your vids on while I'm working a shift and theres something about how you edit your videos that make me feel the exact same melancholy (in a good way) feeling i felt watching TV (specifically adult swim, a cartoon network)and it makes me feel very comforting!! Keep doing wjay you are doing man, i cannot wait to see what you do in the future! Stay safe brother
Thank you so much for mentioning the heart she holler jumpscare bumpers I already didn't have a good opinion about The Cleveland Show but every single time a commercial came on for that show after that I always flipped the channel lol I wasn't going to be risking that shit
Ah I’m not 100% sure cause it’s been over ten years. But the tilt shift photo of downtown Atlanta used at 1:29:54 was taken by my good friend Leo who passed away in 2013. I know they ran some photos he took of Marta trains in the same style. But even still words can’t express how happy it made me to see what I believe to be his work. RIP Leo Charles 🥹 miss you bud and thanks for this awesome video.
The Grounded episode of Moral Orel seriously fucked me up as a kid. I'd never really considered my own mortality so waking up in the middle of the night to see that episode on def scarred me for life. It's a core memory and it sucks 😊
There has only ever been one bumper to scare me. It's a little girl running down what seems to be a school/hospital hallway. She suddenly stops to look at a figure that I cant remember what they looked like but the girl was just staring, then it just cuts to the girl in a bathroom, shes looking in a mirror painting on her face what seems to be blood but in a very barbwirey jesus way around her head and chanting/singing an omnius creepy song. It cuts and its over. It's the only bumper I cant find.
I remember discovering FLCL watching Adult Swim late night on a trip to one of the Cayes in my country of Belize since we use to get a lot of American TV and I fell in love with the show and later rediscovered Toonami... early this year from an anime guy in my country I found an old FlCL manga from 2003 and bought it when he advertise it...still one of my top favorite and impactful animes of all time
Like OMG the mooninites are real. You know those villain teens are so funny but they always lose because Aqua Teen Hunger Force put them down. Thanks you Aqua Teen Hunger Force you save the day. 👍lol
Awesome video!!! 🔥🔥🔥 Ironically adult swim was part of my childhood. Recently I started to see their bumpers as something nostalgic and relaxing. And the dawn is your enemy bumper I remember seeing it once when I was a kid. I found it confusing and felt it stuck out compared to everything else. It’s funny how many thought of the same thing.
I’m 31, and I’m from Boston and I remember back when that happened I was a teenager and I remember laughing my ass off and yes most of the locals did think it was an over exaggerated response
Thank you so much for the kind words! Truly appreciate it. And I agree that the bumpers are oddly comforting. Sometimes I'll just pull up a bumper compilation on CZcams and let it play in the background haha
I wasnt expecting an iceberg video to make me so happy lol. Just so much about Adult Seim and how much fun they were having makes me so happy. I love seeing people have fun
The best way I can describe the life cycle of adult swim is, it was a group of animators who gathered and all had sick and twisted minds due to constant psycadelic abuse and created some of the best late night programming in history. Nowadays, it’s a bunch of wannabe’s who’ve done a handful of psycadelics in their life and are just trying to copy what they’ve seen from the og people in charge of things. Iykyk. There’s an authenticity in the early AS stuff that’ll make you sit and question if you’re still tripping or not. Modern AS just tries too hard and it’s more cringe than mind bending
Love that ending moment goes SKULL ☠ well except squidbillies ending part how they highly overrated in [adult swim] show. Can't tell is american way or redneck way in squidbillies. So listen that ding ding until it said SKULL☠ but except squidbillies ending.
Just to be In the prime tv era and having this to come home to, something totally different. Ppl will never grow up with the same feeling of waiting till midnight for this, being forced to watch whatever there was on, no choice or accessibility just in the moment
I’m a little too young to have grown up with adult swim, but I love learning about random topics, so this video is perfect! Your little jokes and comments throughout the video really make it enjoyable 🧡
For the pirates movie. They were teasing it for maybe like 2 weeks just to show an highlight for a few seconds then resume their airing. It was a bummed talk at school when Monday arrived
I remember the first bumpers. I probably watched the first airing of adult swim. I would stay up watching cartoon network all the time refusing to sleep, then at some point the content was different at night haha.
The part about having this house has people in it and unedited bear footage so far down is kinda weird. Millions of people have seen those videos so it’s kinda weird how they’re so far down
I was conflicted on whether to put those entries in layer 1 or layer 4. Then I decided to shove them towards the bottom because I didn't want to just summarize those videos since so many people have seen them. Instead, I wanted to spend more time discussing the theories and interpretations behind those shorts that fans have created. Again, it was a conflicting decision haha. Sometimes I regret putting them so low. Besides that weird choice, I hope you found the rest of the video to be enjoyable.
@@ZeroOmens I did find the rest of the video enjoyable! I’ve always found adult swim such an interesting thing and when I saw an adult swim video that was recent too I was really excited. I understand the decision about putting the discussion later on in the video because a long discussion about something most would have known would’ve been a big turn away. I hope you make like a sequel or something to this iceberg
Icebergs are just weird like that, hard to decide whether the cool things that everyone knows about should be on the top because everyone knows about them, or in the bottom because they’re cool.
I loved when they played those bumps that played flying lotus instrumentals. I would try to freestyle it for the only few seconds it gave. Good memories
Oh man I was only like 4 or 5 during the first bump era and man was it weird to look up under my cover when I’m supposed to be sleep and going from family guy to a old man swimming and someone yelling adult swim lmao
Still in the middle of watching and got to "was Regular Show an AS pitch?" and I distinctly remember hearing Rigby say "Benson's gonna be PISSED!" in the first episode (later changed to "ticked") and my brother and I being like "oh shit, they just said "pissed" in a CN show!"
"Boston, known for baked beans, fenway park,and very loud people -- I'm kidding Boston" No no, as someone from Boston, you're spot on about the loud people. Bostoners are a different breed
Mooninites are real? Well they not alien just human how they acting evil stone put booms around city including cable channel company building but thank god they stop it. Thank you Aqua Teen Hunger Force you the Hero then protagonist.
The fact that I met the voice actor of space ghost before I knew anything about it makes me kinda upset. I went to convention last year that he was a featured guest at. I got into the convention for a lowered price cause I took pictures for a group that hosted a mock fight arena. I can’t believe I missed that opportunity
The really dark thing about nurse bendy in "alone"... She's clearly trying to hit the table with her butt when cleaning up the mustard, she wanted that scenario to play out.
I was so confused when I first saw, Too Many Cooks. I thought it was a new show until I saw it was nothing but a bunch of, what looked like, sitcom intros… until all the carnage… I was not expecting that! It was weird, but awesome. Btw, no one ever mentions the anime, Trigun! That was one of the best animes. Vash the stampede, Meryl and Milly, the insurance agents, Wolfwood, the priest with the gun that looks like a cross… so awesome.
The night they ran the rick and morty season premiere I was hanging out with friends at the local coffee shop, all getting kinda bored, trying to find something to do. I pulled out my phone, decided to checkout the [as] app, and realized what was on. I told them, turned it off and we all went to the dollar general, bought snacks, and then watched the next airing of the premiere out in the parking lot of my phone.
Honestly, a bunch of friends chilling in a parking lot watching the Rick and Morty season premiere sounds like an awesome night. Hopefully, you all had a great time!
@@ZeroOmens oh, we definitely did. We probably looked like a bunch of lunatics all crammed in the bed of my truck around a phone, and then theorizing about what the rest of the season was gonna be like afterward.
@@ZeroOmens if you ever find it you will be a real hero lol. I think the exact dialogue was. "Hey dad?" "Yeah son?" When can I go home and be with my real dad?" "Soon enough son soon enough." Then it ends. I think they're fishing together.
i remeber the full metal alchemist fart april fools joke, i thought i was loosing my mind from staying up playing runescape for too long. I was worried the tv was broken and my parents would find out i was staying up all night lol
The Boston mooninite scare reminds me of an incident at Activision’s LA offices. Some boomer called 911 because they thought a call of duty soldier statue was an armed gunman, and the SWAT team got into a 6 hour standoff with it. Activision moved the statue away from the window after that
Mooninites always take down the whole cable channel company business. Antagonist love be zone around so why Aqua Teen Hunger Force be lazy? Oh wait they not detective just whatever Kevin Smith film moment I'm saying these Aqua Teen Hunger Force season are bet lazy shows pssh I couldn't blame Aqua Teen Hunger Force they are hero but Mooninites don't trying make boom in Boston. Those are weird 2000's year place I mean my childhood doesn't notice obviously.

I knew I wasn't imagining watching pee wee on Adult Swim! I miss those days even tho I was like, 6
The early days of AS were a bunch of old shows getting an another stream light till to manage to have their own IPs. It was nice seeing peewee and save by the bell
I was born in 97, I was there when adult swim premiered and didn’t stop watching until 2014, this unlocked a lot of core memories
What made you stop in 2014?
@@BrockSamsonVB I think cartoon network was removed by my cable provider
97 A.D. Rome forbids human sacrifice throughout the empire & Trajan is a huge fan of SGCTC.
"I bet I just unlocked a core memory inside your brain." Bro this whole iceberg unlocked core memories from my childhood.
Also I’m glad This House Has People In It is mentioned. It’s an absolute masterpiece and Alan is a genius
I remember when adult swim first launched. I’ve actually been thinking about all of the weird shorts and little side sketches in cartoons that used to come on and I for the life of me can never remember any of the names so I’m really happy this video exists now
Likewise. I used to watch O Canada and The Bob Clampett Show on Sunday nights on CN before Adult Swim premiered. Most things are at their best in the very beginning because they're new experiences for the person enjoying them.
No MF DOOM Christmas commercials or the DANGERDOOM joint album? Kind of disappointed to not see that
I want a season 3 of xavier renegade angel so badly. That show is incredibly underrated it’s such a gem.
Animation style was pretty shite though
@@carlycarmine3858that was the point. It's supposed to look gross.
@@LordTankian0 I guess I just don't think unnerving and/or gross imagery makes for good TV except for a few select shows
@@carlycarmine3858 I get that. I'm just saying that's why it's that way. They went for a shit style on purpose.
@@LordTankian0 the only show with occasionally gross imagery that I think is good TV is Family Guy
One of my favorite Adult Swim commercials/bumpers was the frilled lizard running through a forest screaming AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Watching this entire iceberg. For the longest time I thought half of things on here were extremely vivid fever dreams I had when I was 10. Glad to know I wasn't crazy.
Honestly I see adult swim as weirdly comforting. I used to stay up at night and watch as king of the hill and stuff like that came on
I'm very nervous about this video. Although this iceberg is super condensed, it's now the longest piece of content I have ever uploaded to this channel. I've taken a lot of the advice given to me by you guys from the previous icebergs and have applied most of your suggestions to this project. Hopefully all of my hard work payed off. It's definitely not a perfect video, but I hope you at least find it entertaining/enjoyable to watch.
Dude I would love a part 2.
It's more than entertaining dawg, ur narration and editing gets better with every iceberg

One of my biggest regrets when it comes to Adult Swim is not saving my DVR recording of the "Aqua teen Movie premier" when Adult Swim showed it in the corner. Mostly because there was a hilarious moment that synced up perfectly and nobody else seems to remember it. During the "Drunken Irish Dad" song from Family Guy that aired that night, a human male character (I believe he was black) popped up on screen and began dancing in time with the song. If I remember correctly, it was during the line "We Irish lads are all infirm and our moods infect us like a germ!" It was so damn funny and to this day I have no idea if it was intentional or it just worked out that way.
If anyone has footage of this, I'd love to see it again. If for nothing more than to prove to myself I didn't dream this.
This footage is available online, I downloaded it with all episodes of ATHF in one big package
@@randomprimary I don't remember the accurate name of this package, but it was on pirate bay and it had all episodes, full movie, full prank movie, some alternate endings, commercials and some obscure shorts. I think it's still there, although it was few years ago.
@@GownoPrawdaTV1 Hopefully there are seeders then lol
I can’t be the only one who got scared shitless from the robot chicken intro as a kid
Saturday nights on adult swim were legendary.
Well to me
Somewhere 2000's in old shows they never put Toonami Saturday night until [adult swim] anime without Toonami Tom.
By til then Toonami becoming [adult swim] in 2012 now those are true Saturday nights in [adult swim] not Cartoon Network Saturday night.
I’ve heard people say that Boston’s response to the Mooninite signs was purely for political spectacle. Elections were coming up and at the time it was popular to appear as tough on terrorism cause it was Bush era xenophobia peak season. There were already signs like that up for up to 2 weeks in other cities. I’ve heard many people say that the Boston gouvernement wanted to appear strong and responsive to voters so even though they knew it most likely was completely nothing, they went out of their way to try to make it something. Definitely on brand for America at the time.
That's believable, it just sounds like a post-9/11 America. Also CN/Turner basically got scammed for 2 million because of a boomerish overreaction.
Never doubt the government’s ability to use any opportunity for political points

My dude I grew up with Sailor Moon, DBZ, and Ruroni Kenshin on Toonami. Then when I was a bit older Cowboy Bebop, Yu Yu Hakusho, Paranoia Agent on Adult Swim.
I cherish these memories of staying up extremely late playing PS2 to catch new episodes during the summer.
I'm so damn thankful to have found this video. Not just because it's been put together so well, but because of the April Fools segment involving the cats prank, which haunted me for years because I thought it was just a fever dream I had.
I grew up watching late night cartoon network blocks and late night g4tv.
Every once in a while I watch late night streams cause of how laid back it is.
This brings me back. Nice video.
I was already enjoying the video but the mention of FLCL during the family guy and Futurama being saved part made me happy
Waking up throughout the night while watching adult swim back in Early/mid to late 2000s was a treat, from dank bumps and commercials to a quick laugh only to go back to sleep. That was peak lol
Great job! I really enjoyed this and this is coming from someone in 2001being a teenager then and just remembers the strange shows that came on late at night and heard about some after. It's a interesting Iceberg that's educational highlighting a lot of it's content in the time line.
I began getting into adult swim when I was 13 and watching reruns of family guy, american dad, KotH. And on my 23rd bday to see the final family guy episode and the goodbye bumper. I teared up a bit. The show I began watching adult swim on said its goodbye 10 years later.
I will hurt someone if you say “arg” ONE MORE TIME AHAHAJHDJJDHIFJFLISHD
I don't think that's healthy lol
i miss being an 8 year old watching adult swim. that channel alone makes me miss cable and there really isnt anything else like it.
AdultSwim cancelling Venture Bros. is heresy and unforgivable.
"The Dawn is Your Enemy " sound feels so real! I was also on alot of Molly at the time but definitely feels real!
Fantastic video! Subbed
Really really well reaserched. There's a lot of things I didn't even know about in this lol here in South America they stopped airing Adult Swim on Cartoon Network around 2010ish and it started airing at night in another channel called ISAT, so there's a bunch on stuff included in this video that I missed out on
Glad you liked the video! Thank you very much! 💙
Not really a huge Adult Swim fan but i usually just let this play at night.. kind of like one of those "raining at night ASMR" videos 🤣 keep them coming
Maybe I should actually create an 8 hour asmr video.
I remember one of the black background white text bumpers.. One time I was just a black screen it was a few seconds of silence then said "Bet you didn't know I could talk. No one's going to believe you." I only saw that one once
Fun fact about Sam Hyde, people often do believe the whacky memes about him doing shootings and terror attacks and other such things. Example, a verified twitter account tweeted a photoshopped pic of Sam in a jet believing him to be the "Ghost of Kiev". It's actually fascinating what a high tier level of shitposting surrounds his existence.
What the other guy said, not to mention that Hyde has been outed as a pedophile and an active predator too.
@mana256k I love disgusting homophobic pseudoscience

@@themanbehindthemirror2195 low tier bait response, if you're gonna try atleast make it something good, and worth responding too.
There's something about this video that keeps me watching it over and over,it's so comforting
I'm very happy that you enjoy it so much. There are a lot of things that I would love to go back and fix/adjust on this video, but it makes me feel good that there are people who truly find it comforting. Thank you!
@@ZeroOmens of course man!! You are one of what i like to call "primary youtubers" i watch!! I just put your vids on while I'm working a shift and theres something about how you edit your videos that make me feel the exact same melancholy (in a good way) feeling i felt watching TV (specifically adult swim, a cartoon network)and it makes me feel very comforting!! Keep doing wjay you are doing man, i cannot wait to see what you do in the future! Stay safe brother
Thank you so much for mentioning the heart she holler jumpscare bumpers
I already didn't have a good opinion about The Cleveland Show but every single time a commercial came on for that show after that I always flipped the channel lol I wasn't going to be risking that shit
😂 I did the exact same thing! I couldn't trust The Cleveland Show commercials anymore.
Ah I’m not 100% sure cause it’s been over ten years. But the tilt shift photo of downtown Atlanta used at 1:29:54 was taken by my good friend Leo who passed away in 2013. I know they ran some photos he took of Marta trains in the same style. But even still words can’t express how happy it made me to see what I believe to be his work. RIP Leo Charles 🥹 miss you bud and thanks for this awesome video.
It sounds like your good friend Leo was a very talented and awesome man. May he rest in peace 💙Of course. Thank you for watching it.
Same. I used to wake up around 4:00am just to watch inuyasha because it was my first introduction to anime and I loved it!
I would adore a full Moral Orel Iceberg
I think I might have to start working on it haha
The intro is so nostalgic takes me back when I was a kid and I was up past my bedtime watching Adult Swim
The Grounded episode of Moral Orel seriously fucked me up as a kid. I'd never really considered my own mortality so waking up in the middle of the night to see that episode on def scarred me for life. It's a core memory and it sucks 😊
Yeah adult swim was good for that, and losing sleep
There has only ever been one bumper to scare me. It's a little girl running down what seems to be a school/hospital hallway. She suddenly stops to look at a figure that I cant remember what they looked like but the girl was just staring, then it just cuts to the girl in a bathroom, shes looking in a mirror painting on her face what seems to be blood but in a very barbwirey jesus way around her head and chanting/singing an omnius creepy song. It cuts and its over.
It's the only bumper I cant find.
A bump are 70 moment commercial.
Honestly, I blame nick at nite, adult swim, toonami, and late night TV for making me the night owl I am today.
I remember discovering FLCL watching Adult Swim late night on a trip to one of the Cayes in my country of Belize since we use to get a lot of American TV and I fell in love with the show and later rediscovered Toonami... early this year from an anime guy in my country I found an old FlCL manga from 2003 and bought it when he advertise it...still one of my top favorite and impactful animes of all time
That's so awesome!!!
I like the pink haired girl, she's just unbelievably crazy but also kinda funny
@@harukoharuhara1863 yeah she's incredible
@@VictorCowo what's her name anyways? She's my favorite from the show
@@harukoharuhara1863 Haruhara Haruko is her name
Very well put together video. This deserves more views
I appreciate it. Thank you so much! 💙
As someone from the Boston area: No, no need to apologize. You're right about the loud people.
Like OMG the mooninites are real. You know those villain teens are so funny but they always lose because Aqua Teen Hunger Force put them down. Thanks you Aqua Teen Hunger Force you save the day. 👍lol
I think the dawn is your enemy means that it’s your enemy because that’s when adult swim ends and you really like adult swim
Man, I remember when Toonami ended while I was a little kid. I thought it meant the end of Adult Swim altogether
My Favorite bumpers from Toonami was the motivational one
Awesome video!!! 🔥🔥🔥
Ironically adult swim was part of my childhood. Recently I started to see their bumpers as something nostalgic and relaxing.
And the dawn is your enemy bumper I remember seeing it once when I was a kid. I found it confusing and felt it stuck out compared to everything else.
It’s funny how many thought of the same thing.
I’m 31, and I’m from Boston and I remember back when that happened I was a teenager and I remember laughing my ass off and yes most of the locals did think it was an over exaggerated response
despite it being called adult swim a lot of the people of talking about it remember staying up as a kid watching it
The editing on this is top notch!! I love the as theming. I'm also in love with the as bumpers and find them oddly comforting.
Thank you so much for the kind words! Truly appreciate it. And I agree that the bumpers are oddly comforting. Sometimes I'll just pull up a bumper compilation on CZcams and let it play in the background haha
I remember around 2010 adult swim would air British tv shows like the mighty boosh and the UK office and having a segment around midnights.
I wasnt expecting an iceberg video to make me so happy lol. Just so much about Adult Seim and how much fun they were having makes me so happy. I love seeing people have fun
It makes me very happy that you are happy! 💙
The best way I can describe the life cycle of adult swim is, it was a group of animators who gathered and all had sick and twisted minds due to constant psycadelic abuse and created some of the best late night programming in history. Nowadays, it’s a bunch of wannabe’s who’ve done a handful of psycadelics in their life and are just trying to copy what they’ve seen from the og people in charge of things. Iykyk. There’s an authenticity in the early AS stuff that’ll make you sit and question if you’re still tripping or not. Modern AS just tries too hard and it’s more cringe than mind bending
He didnt mention on the Williamson Street logo, it looks like a building with a man on the roof smoking a cig
Love that ending moment goes SKULL ☠ well except squidbillies ending part how they highly overrated in [adult swim] show. Can't tell is american way or redneck way in squidbillies. So listen that ding ding until it said SKULL☠ but except squidbillies ending.
Toonami showing KLK at 3 in the morning gave me the worst sleep habits as a kid.
Just to be In the prime tv era and having this to come home to, something totally different. Ppl will never grow up with the same feeling of waiting till midnight for this, being forced to watch whatever there was on, no choice or accessibility just in the moment
I need one on Adult Swim games, like the old ones especially Amateur Surgeon
I’m a little too young to have grown up with adult swim, but I love learning about random topics, so this video is perfect! Your little jokes and comments throughout the video really make it enjoyable 🧡
Glad you enjoyed the video and my little jokes. Thank you so much!! 💙
I'm glad Adult Swim Canada is starting to air Young Justice, that show got dark and fits much better on that network
I remember that Rick and Morty prank. I really wanted to see samurai jack that day 🥲
For the pirates movie. They were teasing it for maybe like 2 weeks just to show an highlight for a few seconds then resume their airing. It was a bummed talk at school when Monday arrived
I remember the first bumpers. I probably watched the first airing of adult swim. I would stay up watching cartoon network all the time refusing to sleep, then at some point the content was different at night haha.
The part about having this house has people in it and unedited bear footage so far down is kinda weird. Millions of people have seen those videos so it’s kinda weird how they’re so far down
I was conflicted on whether to put those entries in layer 1 or layer 4. Then I decided to shove them towards the bottom because I didn't want to just summarize those videos since so many people have seen them. Instead, I wanted to spend more time discussing the theories and interpretations behind those shorts that fans have created. Again, it was a conflicting decision haha. Sometimes I regret putting them so low. Besides that weird choice, I hope you found the rest of the video to be enjoyable.
@@ZeroOmens I did find the rest of the video enjoyable! I’ve always found adult swim such an interesting thing and when I saw an adult swim video that was recent too I was really excited. I understand the decision about putting the discussion later on in the video because a long discussion about something most would have known would’ve been a big turn away. I hope you make like a sequel or something to this iceberg
Icebergs are just weird like that, hard to decide whether the cool things that everyone knows about should be on the top because everyone knows about them, or in the bottom because they’re cool.
Undedited footage I think I saw on a late night viewing a couple years back. Pretty freaky lol, we need more horror like it.
The Family Guy “Bye” bump genuinely makes me sad. The end of an era.
I loved when they played those bumps that played flying lotus instrumentals. I would try to freestyle it for the only few seconds it gave. Good memories
I just wish that superjail got either another season or a proper ending 😔 superjails ending was so disappointing to me
YES I FELL IN LOVE WITH IT ITS MADE ME WANT TO PURSUE OG ANIMATION LIKE IT
Oh man I was only like 4 or 5 during the first bump era and man was it weird to look up under my cover when I’m supposed to be sleep and going from family guy to a old man swimming and someone yelling adult swim lmao
I had the misfortune of witnessing too many cooks in my childhood, *multiple times* ,scared me shitless every time.
it weirded me the hell out as an adult so i cant even imagine what it would have been like as a kid haha
dude i woke up at like 2am and saw xavier renegade angel i remember cowering under the blankets
@@cancerouscorndog6425 bro sameeeeee
Still in the middle of watching and got to "was Regular Show an AS pitch?" and I distinctly remember hearing Rigby say "Benson's gonna be PISSED!" in the first episode (later changed to "ticked") and my brother and I being like "oh shit, they just said "pissed" in a CN show!"
OMG I remember that exact line and immediately thought the same thing!
"Boston, known for baked beans, fenway park,and very loud people -- I'm kidding Boston"
No no, as someone from Boston, you're spot on about the loud people. Bostoners are a different breed
Mooninites are real? Well they not alien just human how they acting evil stone put booms around city including cable channel company building but thank god they stop it. Thank you Aqua Teen Hunger Force you the Hero then protagonist.
The fact that I met the voice actor of space ghost before I knew anything about it makes me kinda upset. I went to convention last year that he was a featured guest at. I got into the convention for a lowered price cause I took pictures for a group that hosted a mock fight arena. I can’t believe I missed that opportunity
The really dark thing about nurse bendy in "alone"... She's clearly trying to hit the table with her butt when cleaning up the mustard, she wanted that scenario to play out.
... Did I miss something? LOL I need context or a time stamp XD this vid is almost 2 hours long dude lmao
Fun fact: In Brazil, Toonami plays on Cartoon Netowrk normally
I was so confused when I first saw, Too Many Cooks. I thought it was a new show until I saw it was nothing but a bunch of, what looked like, sitcom intros… until all the carnage… I was not expecting that! It was weird, but awesome. Btw, no one ever mentions the anime, Trigun! That was one of the best animes. Vash the stampede, Meryl and Milly, the insurance agents, Wolfwood, the priest with the gun that looks like a cross… so awesome.
The night they ran the rick and morty season premiere I was hanging out with friends at the local coffee shop, all getting kinda bored, trying to find something to do. I pulled out my phone, decided to checkout the [as] app, and realized what was on. I told them, turned it off and we all went to the dollar general, bought snacks, and then watched the next airing of the premiere out in the parking lot of my phone.
Honestly, a bunch of friends chilling in a parking lot watching the Rick and Morty season premiere sounds like an awesome night. Hopefully, you all had a great time!
@@ZeroOmens oh, we definitely did. We probably looked like a bunch of lunatics all crammed in the bed of my truck around a phone, and then theorizing about what the rest of the season was gonna be like afterward.
this deserves more views!! keep up the hard work!!
Thank you so much Bee! Glad you enjoyed it! 💙
damn I forgot about the fact those guys talked about their haircuts after the Boston incident, blew my mind as a kid
Basically you lied about aqua team hunger forces marking new episodes.
There was a bumper when a kid said "Dad? When can I go home to see my real dad" I wish someone could find it.
I'll have to look into that.
@@ZeroOmens if you ever find it you will be a real hero lol. I think the exact dialogue was. "Hey dad?" "Yeah son?" When can I go home and be with my real dad?" "Soon enough son soon enough." Then it ends. I think they're fishing together.
i remeber the full metal alchemist fart april fools joke, i thought i was loosing my mind from staying up playing runescape for too long. I was worried the tv was broken and my parents would find out i was staying up all night lol
Honestly a great video! I enjoyed this!
Glad that you enjoyed it! Thank you so much for watching! 💙
The Boston mooninite scare reminds me of an incident at Activision’s LA offices. Some boomer called 911 because they thought a call of duty soldier statue was an armed gunman, and the SWAT team got into a 6 hour standoff with it. Activision moved the statue away from the window after that
Mooninites always take down the whole cable channel company business. Antagonist love be zone around so why Aqua Teen Hunger Force be lazy? Oh wait they not detective just whatever Kevin Smith film moment I'm saying these Aqua Teen Hunger Force season are bet lazy shows pssh I couldn't blame Aqua Teen Hunger Force they are hero but Mooninites don't trying make boom in Boston. Those are weird 2000's year place I mean my childhood doesn't notice obviously.
You are a really good iceberg video creator. I don't really see most iceberg CZcamsrs having humor in the videos.
Thank you very much! I just really enjoy including dumb unfunny jokes in my videos haha
Bro that Inuyash story you talked about really hit me in my heart
