- With the "recent" blow up of the Adult Swim trend or AS trend on Tiktok obviously influenced off of Adult Swim Bumps it got me looking back nostalgically about Adult Swim how it played cartoons or adult animation that no other program would (Space Ghost Coast To Coast, Family Guy, Futurama, Robot Chicken, Rick and Morty, King of The Hill Aqua Teen Hunger Force, etc) how it was a big influence on the popularity of Anime with toonami Especially Mature anime (Cowboy Bebop, Outlaw Star, Trigun, Samurai Champloo, Big O, Death Note, etc) How it helped introduce us to amazing musical artists and underground hip hop (J dilla, Mf Doom, Killer Mike, Flying Lotus, Madlib, Nujabes, etc) which led us to lofi hip hop Adult Swim played a huge part in the shaping of my childhood but besides being such a huge influence why I think Adult Swim is so important is because it grew its own personality which made it unique to other tv channels and today I hope to show you how Adult Swim influenced so many ppl and show my love for not only this [adult swim] tiktok trend but also adult swim bumps
ps: sorry about the inconsistency in uploads been super busy with life stuff hope you understand ALMOST TO 100 SUBS! thank yall!

God dude it is insane how this video just dragged some dusty old memories to the surface after they've been lying dormant in my smooth brain for just over TWENTY YEARS!
Literally while watching this I remembered seeing Cowboy Bebop, YuYu Hakusho and Big O probably in the summer of 2000 or MAYBE 2001. To place it on a timeline these memories were from before and little while after Inuyasha first premiered on AS, which I also remember well! I kept stacks of blank or not so blank VHS tapes on hand to record the broadcasts of these shows onto and I'd watch these recorded episodes over and over again obsessively! Next time I visit my old hometown I'm gonna dig through some boxes at my mom's and see if I can find any of these tapes. It'd be great to see a piece of exactly what I experienced as I was essentially unwittingly being introduced to subculture and the wider world of art. Those late nights were like a world of their own with a feeling that's hard to describe. I'm genuinely glad you made this video dude!
I'm not only honored I could bring those feelings back to you but I am beyond glad you made this comment they're could not be a more perfect comment thank you so much you said it perfectly with "those late nights were like a world of their own" you should see if you could upload some of those rips of vhs tapes if possible id be glad to check em out!
Okay so I took a few trips out to my mom's place and searched everywhere for those tapes.. unfortunately I was unable to find them. The only tape I found was a VHS copy of Night Of The Living Dead. I did find a few things I had forgotten about that are tangentially related like Tenchi Muyo CD's & manga and some Pokemon stuff, but that's not what I was after.
Definitely a bummer that those recordings didn't turn up but if I ever do manage to find at least one of those tapes I'll pop back up here and let you know! Cheers duder!
Honestly the only other experience I had similar to it was falling asleep late one night on a super random channel and waking up to Cirque du Soliel playing on it. And then longing to find that random unexplained circus performance fever dream again for a long time...till it happened again and I recorded it. My whole family was stunned and impressed by it. I felt like I got to expefience a magic thing before anyone else realized it's beauty and power and then it blew up so fucking hard. Because I'm sure, in the US a bunch of people also had the same experience and just enjoying the surreal storytelling and impressive feats.
I was born in the summer of 2000

It's nuts to think there's a whole generation that won't understand what type of cultural impact adult swim had on older Z and milenials. This was pre 2012. You had to catch these shows at a specific time, streaming wasn't even close to what it is now. TV was way more important back then.

Their shows were on teletoon at night here in Canada back in the early 2000s when I was a teen because teletoon and adult swim traded shows back than and even do it today. Also loved these shows so much I've been buying the shows on dvd and have 8 shows on dvd with 6 being completed
@@charlespwnage5435 that's so dope, a lot of these shows will forever be timeless. You'll be able to share them uncut and uncensored in the future, I'm jelous.
We will never experience what they're experiencing now with streaming
Another reason why I think us older Gen Z’s and Younger Millennials really are a renaissance in a way
Watching Adult Swim in the middle of the night when you’re half asleep gave the shows this fever dream like quality. I don’t know how many times I would wake up and look at TV and go “WTF am I watching?”.

@@Mosquito-balls I don’t think shows like South Park, Boondocks and half of the other stuff Adult Swim held on their channel. It was so unique and I am thankful to have been old enough to enjoy and understand it before the internet had a million streaming services on it.
@@zachiga yea golden era of entertainment
Bro, the first time I watched Aqua Teen when it aired I was like (who writes this stuff?). Been a fan ever since.
No bro half those shows were legitimate fever dreams. Take "Off The Air" for example. A literal acid trip in TV show format
Adult Swim is absolutely timeless. You could easily air reruns of the channel from the mid 2000's with no context and it would STILL hit. The jokes would hit, music would vibe, and the shows would fit right in with modern internet culture. Such a timeless vibe.
I would pay hard earned money for recorded tapes of adult swim
Adult swim payed homage to alot of greats in chillhop, jazzhop, and lofi hiphop such as nujabes, dilla, doom, aswell as putting us onto a shit-ton of BEAUTIFUL shows. Adult swim is a timeless masterpiece
also I had to instantly subscribe once I heard that "welcome to the show" intro. i love your channel man.
I attribute adult swim indirectly to the birth of internet culture and humour while still having such a timeless vibe to it.
I once heard someone say "this entire generation has the sense of humor of tim and eric, but no one knows who tim and eric are" 🤣
Exactly, Vine was just family Guy cutaways and quick Robot Chicken skits.
@@woodensauce1063 This is so fucking true. I didn't even know Tim and Eric until I went to college (at the college they went to, Temple!)
@@IamSoEasy47 hey man that’s pretty cool! And at least you found them and get to appreciate them 😁
And practically all of AS's audience were 4chan/message board members, the connection to internet culture is strong.
The [Adult Swim] logo is absolute perfection. It's absolutely iconic, yet so simple that I just made it in this comment. There will never be a better TV channel.

*[adult swim]
Everyone know the symbol [adult swim]
Nobody born after 2004 - 2005 will know how it feels to stay up late and catch this stuff or wake up in the middle of the night randomly and hear some crazy bump playing with some show you've never seen play. It'll never feel like that again. You made me nostalgic, good video.
2006 kids just barely made it
I’m 2007 and I definitely remember this I remember waking up at 3 in the morning to Robot Chicken and as a kid I was always to scared to watch it especially cause of how my parents didn’t want me watching Adult Swim at all which is a real shame cause now I watch Adult Swim and realized how much I missed out on
@@woopoganntnt7379 It felt different. Cable was huge for 40+ years and suddenly in less the what seemed like 5, it was completely overtaken by streaming. I'm not bitter, time moves on. Growing up in the 90s and 00s just seems different than how kids are growing up now.
I was born in 2007 and adult swim is 50% of my childhood when I was a kid so it should be 2004-2007
2007, woke up in the middle of the night about 5 or 6 years old to robot chicken, scared the SHIT out of me ran to my moms room and cried i tried to change the channel but the batteries weren’t in the remote. i had to sleep with my mom 😭😭
Im 37 and my brother is 27, we used to watch Adult Swim everyday at night. This brought tears to my eyes.
I feel ya man! Me and my older bro also watched AS together
37 here as well.. Man I miss the good old days..
32 here.
adult swim is like the anti mainstream tv channel. they put in the extra effort to cultivate a cool and creative aesthetic and most tv channels don’t go that extra mile which is why adult swim is the only cable tv channel i still care to watch and some of my favorite shows (aqua teen, harvey birdman, king of the hill) come from. it’s the only thing that makes me scared of the demise of cable tv. what if i never get to see a cool adult swim bumper ever again ??
Adult swim should make they're own streaming app
@@dcta51 most of their shows stream on HBO max now if you have that
@@dcta51 the have one lol
Its also the only network I knew of that had programming blocks as short as 15 minutes.
@@JohnDoe-yd1cx an app right?
Adult swim was weird and it wasn’t like anything else out there. It was so unique. Thank you for this video it’s crazy to think some people watching this video didn’t grow up with the early adult swim but the new adult swim is pretty similar so they get the gist
It has lost some magic but it’s still very similar but especially with tv kinda dying out you won’t really see things like bumps anymore with like Netflix yanno
Smiling friends is bringing back the magic
The channel is similar but the era is different. It’s just not the same vibe now that CZcams and streaming is the primary source of media entertainment.
Adult swim was awesome for all the homophobic, racist, and stereotypes that they showed for our humor. Now we don’t have that culture cause woke culture destroyed and won’t ever allow it to happen again. I hate and despise the woke culture movement . I hate leftist for trying to censor anything that slightly offends them.
Liquid television from the 90s look it up it was kinda similar but not really
Something the bumps on [AS] usually contained as a theme was that they were liminal spaces paired with comfortable music. I remember always suddenly realizing how alone I was during them, like the feeling went away during the show but they had to remind you that you were sitting or laying in a dark room alone at 2am.
The fact it came on after the second most popular kids channel and a channel that tends to attract 10-14 year olds instead of 3-9 year olds like Nickelodeon was a genius marketing move. Had a whole generation to watch it
The connection of [AS] bumper music to lofi is honestly so freaking galaxy brain. I feel like my entire worldview has shifted with that realization and it suddenly makes so much more sense why I love lofi as much as I do -- especially the ones full of weird/obscure/anime dialogue sampling. I can't say I ever fully appreciated AS's vibes as a teen (smh @ past me), but it definitely left an impressionable mark that I've slowly become increasingly more aware of as an adult.
Also, my dude, I just blasted through several of your videos tonight and holy jeez does your channel and aesthetic speak to me on such a personal, weeb of the 90s level lol. So much nostalgia, passion, and an intense love for aesthetics. Also can I just say I LOVE your fashion -- peak 90's anime cool kid fr. 🙏
I love that kind of Lofi as well, samples of anime dialogue or oldies tunes. Couldn't figure out why it made me feel so nostalgic when I couldn't place where i'd heard it before. Let me know if you got any good spots for finding that kind of stuff, a lot of the spotify and youtube live channels don't quite hit that mark. Guess i'll start with the artists from the AS bumbs
Fuck yeah. That's a great comparison
Bro, same. I can't believe it took me so long to find this channel, and now I gotta catch up.
I’m 31 and this video has touched my heart man. The deepest memories of my early teens watchin animes for the first time and fallin in love and watching hilarious shows at night. Finding new fav music and beats from it. It was all glorious. Thank you for reminding me and thank you for making such a great video. This made my day ❤️
Thanks man!
Damn yo I'm 31 too. We out here
I'm 33 and I'm glad I got to watch all this stuff when my mom wasn't around to watch with me.Damn I miss my early childhood days what happened to me🙏
i remember being 6 years old watching king of the hill, family guy, american dad, and robot chicken all in that order. what a good phenomenon tbh.
I didnt know AS had King of the Hill and American Dad on it lol. I miss those days
@@_Devil it sure did, as soon as cartoon network went off, the first show they aired (majority of the time) was king of the hill
I just got the most euphoric feeling watching this video, specifically the bump you showed that showed Mt Fuji in Tokyo. I remember seeing it when I was a kid, never thought too much about it. The memory of it just faded away. Till I saw it just now, and realized that I had actually went there. I was in the Marine Corps from 2012-2017, around 2014 I went on a field exercise to Camp Fuji, which has an amazing view of Mt Fuji. At the time though, I had forgotten all about seeing it on adult swim. So when I'm already getting hit with childhood nostalgia, I see this picture and I got such a weird cosmic rush. Combining two separate memories into one. Thank you, never stop making content.
Dude that’s really cool both the concept of two memories coming back and just your life on general thank you for dropping the comment and I hope you’re life is going well
Adult Swim legitimately changed my life. When I was in high school I stumbled on a Zatch Bell promo from toonami. The editing and music blowed me away as did the programming they were showing. I discovered DBZ Kai, Hunter x Hunter, One Punch Man, and many more great shows and artists. I tried my hand at making my own Toonami promos which lead me into editing as well as graphic design, landing me an acceptance at my states best art school. I owe them a lot, and I’ll never forget them.
That's really cool, I hope you succeed in what you're doing.
I stayed up late one night when I was young and me and my dad stayed up watching one punch man specifically the ep where saitama smacked the shit outta that mosquito lady lol
Adult Swim is memorable because it simply didn’t care. It didn’t care what was cool, It didn’t care who watch it, or even if anyone did watch it. It existed just to exist. It was also keenly aware of pop culture outside of the US (mainly Japan) and that (at the time) was almost unheard of in the American pop culture mainstream. Basically, adult swim was like that one friend who is into manga/anime and jungle music who we don’t fully understand but totally understand their commitment to being unique.
I just don’t think any video essay will ever do the Adult Swim late night vibe justice.
It’s too unique. It was too special. Everyone has they’re own experience. It’s just lost in pleasant memories.
Man, I've always known I love Adult Swim, but I never realized just how much of an influence it had on me.
I think waking up in the wee hrs hearing a bump on Adult Swim is a collective phenomenon.
One time I woke up to Tim and Eric skit and immediately laughed my ass off.
bro we must of lived the same childhood lol
Adult swim is something you had to grow up with to understand. If you were a kid in the 2000s, you knew you weren’t supposed to be watching adult swim, but you still did because of how new and different and interesting it was
early 2010s kid here. i still remember a few of the bumpers, but just barely. my dad would be up at night watching [AS] and he wouldn't care if i watched it with him, lol
I'm almost in tears. Seeing this helps me remember why I enjoyed my life before I've completely lost my self. I've genuinely forgot about [AS], but now I remember being lucky enough to go to the Robot Chicken tour in NYC back in the day. I got to see Seth Green storm troopers and Gym class heroes! I needed this so thank you. It meant a lot to me!
MTV's Liquid TV could be argued as a forerunner to what Adult Swim did a few years later. For a lot of us Liquid TV introduced us to adult animation (Æon Flux, The Running Man : Neo Tokyo, Beavis and Butt-Head) and it also leaned heavily into the surreal and bizarre.
Hey I’m too young to have experienced [as] in it’s prime I didn’t even know mtv had an adult animation block 😅
Came to the comments looking for a shout out to Liquid Television, as being the true forerunner.
I'm not 100% sure, but I think I remember "The Maxx" (1995) unrolling on Liquid TV. Oh wait, a Wikipedia search says this was an MTV show. (Back when MTV meant something.;)
Don't forget Night Flight. Videos, cult movies and animations. It all fed into each other and that was a good thing.
God I had forgotten about the absolute surreal quality of waking up super late night to Æon Flux half asleep on the couch and not sure what's going on.
Not that watching it fully awake and stone cold sober is any difference.
I made the Go To Bed bump and a lot of other ones. Seeing how it's helped others over the years has been inspiring and humbling. Thanks for the deep dive!
I clearly remember the very first airing of Adult Swim back in 2001. I was in 7th grade. I was a huge fan of Space Ghost: Coast to Coast and Cartoon Planet (which was a slightly more kid friendly version of the show that aired during the day and featured more of the character Brak.) My parents had an issue of the “entertainment/TV” section of our town’s local newspaper sprawled over our kitchen table when I got home from school that day, and there was a black and white picture of Brak in it. The headline read something like “Cartoon Network Ventures into Adult Programming” and was talking about how Adult Swim was going to air (it was a paper from a few days earlier) on the exact night I was reading it. So that night, I tuned in at 10pm and caught the very first airing of Adult Swim, which kicked off with an episode of Home Movies followed by the first episode of The Brak Show. I was hooked and watched the block every single time it aired afterwards for as long as I could manage to stay awake. I’ll never forget that I actually tuned in live to the very first time something that ended up growing into a cultural staple was born. I was actually a part of history in that moment, and didn’t even realize it at the time.
Ah, that's a good story. I started watching it exclusively for Saturdays because I saw the commercials for Adult Swim Action on Cartoon Network (back when they were not separate entities) and immediately got hooked on Yu Yu Hakusho, Cowboy Bebop, and Gundam 0083. Then, I started watching it on Sunday nights too when they first got Mission Hill because their TV spots for it were hilarious, and I was not disappointed. I already knew of Space Ghost from when it regularly aired on CN on Friday nights in the late 90s and because Moltar (one of its characters) used to host Toonami, which played the actual old old Space Ghost cartoon way back when, but everything else was so new to me and the pool clips were hilarious gave Sundays an air of levity. The night they showed Char's Counterattack remains my favorite memory of Adult Swim all these years later. THAT was an amazing movie.
I was there for Sealab, crashing on a friend's couch after meeting a sad girl in a parking lot outside Taco Bell and going to a playground to cheer her up. Same for South Park. Came to school the next day and no one knew what I was talking about in reference to satellites and cows... 💖
@@Zenigundamt the time, I hadn’t been watching CN so I had missed the TV ads I think. I was on an MTV/VH1/Comedy Central kick around then, so that article was my first hearing of it
Man, back in like 2007 i was super depressed and id stay up all night watching AS and playing video games. i remember seeing the goodmorning/goodbye bumps and feeling really bad.
Adult Swim was an art form in and of itself, and like you mentioned, waking up late into the night, and having Adult Swim there, was otherworldly. I miss it.
This video is amazing. How you nailed how adult swim and toonami made me feel as a kid. A kid who had no business being awake that late. Adult swim led me to anime that no one else knew /talked about and how I went on those journeys by myself from ghost in the shell, cowboy bebop, the boondocks. It’s awesome that you have actually brought people with similar experiences together with this video. Man I wish we all grew up together!
Adult swim was awesome for all the homophobic, racist, and stereotypes that they showed for our humor. Now we don’t have that culture cause woke culture destroyed and won’t ever allow it to happen again. I hate and despise the woke culture movement .
Me too bro
Adult Swim was how I found so many unique sounding artists Flying Lotus, and J Dilla were my first discoveries til I found Nujabes, Nomak, and, TOKiMONSTA. Both through the official bumps, and fan made bump beats.
Growing up with adult swim drastically changed who I was as a person. A lot of people called me gifted or smart as a kid because I knew a lot of adult things and even had some neat little philosophical ideas, and this plus old CZcams is really the reason why, I just repeated what I heard and people thought I was a genius, kinda funny looking back.
Thank you for this amazing video that reminds me so much of my childhood.
Thank you for watching it!
Adult Swim came out when I started living on my own. I worked the late night shift at Mcd's and one night after work I turned on Cartoon Network and ATHF was on. It blew my mind and nothing beat it. It fell out of rotation when I joined the military since they require you to wake up at reasonable times (well stop drinking at like 4am or so) but nothing has ever matched Adult Swim qualitywise and it seems like it's up to CZcamsrs to keep that alive. It's not something you can really reproduce with streaming services.
Great video btw
i 100% wouldnt have my love for anime without adult swim. even more because i worked nights after school. so i could come home late and still have something to watch
I at least had Rorouni Kenshin and YuYu Hakashu on toonami when I was in middleschool and just the....bundle of good shit (and inuyasha which I know think was terrible but then was a perfect way to wade in) on Adult Swim. I also had Kikis Delivery Service way before I knew it was an anime. But yes...it was the perfect way to show me a variety of real quality shows, not just Shonen.
Same I was like 13 when toonami started
I remember feeling at home with adult swim when I came from Mexico two decades ago. Mexico has a pretty deeply rooted connection with Japanese pop culture and general avant-garde art, so adult swim felt comfortable. I miss those adult swim nights…
I was there in the long long ago. I was 11 when it came out. I remember when I would swap over from music videos on MTV and VHI to Adult Swim, and just flip through the three depending on which one had a commercial on. I had no idea those were the best days of my life.
Toonami midnight run and Adult Swim were one of the things I most looked forward to back in grade school. The commercials and bumps were just as memorable as the shows.
I never had cable at my house but on weekends I’d sleep over at my friends house with cable and lord knows how late we’d stay up watching adult swim. The calm of the midnight streets mixed with trying to keep the tv volume low so we don’t get found out. Those bumps only added to the tense atmosphere as we’d sneak into the kitchen to grab a pop tart or two in between commercial breaks. I wish I got more time with adult swim but I cherish the few bits I had throughout my childhood.
As an avid watcher of video essays on CZcams, I can say this video deserves way more views. An overall really well put together video that unlocked a lot of core memories of staying up late when I was younger. Keep up the great work dude, you just earned yourself a new subscriber!
Thanks man! Really appreciate that as also a avid watcher of video essays lol
Because it didn't suck like 95% of television nowadays.
I think people forget that the bumps and hype videos were like half of the entertainment, you get that cool ass space man to say something thoughtful and then ask if you think goku or whoever could overcome whatever they were facing lately all to some vine jams, I absolutely got hyped for super mix music videos with gundam wing, dbz, inuyasha, etc.. clips and sampled audio... dude so damn nostalgic...
We grew up in a perfect time for TV era and if life and time somehow resets, I’m down to experience those moments again!
"I'm only kinda funny BECAUSE of adult swim"
I feel you, man, I truly do
I think this video perfectly encapsulates exactly why myself and others are drawn towards your content. I haven't seen all of your videos yet but jesus christ man I can feel every ounce of genuine passion and appreciation for everything you talk about. In a world where anything can have an impact on you, being able to pinpoint, analyze, and share the things that impact you like this is a blissful experience. I've never done hard drugs but it's like I'm taking a massive bump of pure nostalgia cocaine every video. Can't wait to watch the next one! KEEP FUCKING GOING!!!!
Thank you so much my guy this comment means a whole lot i definitely got that serotonin boost just reading it lol Also pure nostalgia cocaine is hilarious I love that thank you for the comment my dude and thank you for the love ❤️
I feel like there's some serious Toonami DNA in there too. The secret in both cases was using bumps with a consistent art direction and excellent music to tie the whole programming block together. Create a whole _atmosphere_ people want to be immersed in.
Difference is, where Toonami had TOM, SARA, and the ship as familiar faces, [as]...got rid of familiar faces entirely. Just disembodied text, and snippets of some hole-in-the-wall corners of real life. It felt like a more mature spin on the concept. 'We got you to connect with some marketable character. Now let's see if we can cut out the character, but keep some abstract connection.' I feel like all the programming was 'more challenging' this way, and running into it as a kid made you feel both respected and mesmerized.
Sonder -- peeking into complex and private parts of another life.
Liminal -- setting up camp in transitory places you were never meant to linger in. Timeless.
This pulled together to really _capture_ the surreal sense of connection you feel with other people who are awake just past 4 am for no good reason...like me rn.
Im so glad we all grew up at the right time to experience this. and its so cool to see a collection of us all seem to have felt the same thing at those times. The early to mid 2000s Adult Swim watching as a kid cant be matched today.
Stating that this channel is underrated is a HUGE understatement. Good lord is this content amazing. The editing it brilliant. Your a hilarious creator. I really love this and i’m bingeing all the vids now. Leaving hella likes on them too. This a SS tier channel. Thank god i found it. Highlight of this month type beat. Please keep up the amazing work.

Thank you my guy! Peace and love
I hope this channel gets big some day. You totally deserve it

Dude I'm in tears from this, I would've never thought a simple channel from TV could impact and shape the type of personality I have. I can't explain how grateful I am for stumbling across this video at like 3 when I should be asleep because I was like 9-12 but honestly it was worth it, thank you for the beautiful video
During the past 2 weeks, I've been addicted to your videos, your great topics,superb editing, and your dry comedic delivery its hard not to enjoy them. You probably won't see this, but just so you know, this video is just as amazing as the others and you have earned yourself a subscriber
Never forget waking up wayyy too early for school and turning on adult swim to watch random inuyasha or home movies episodes. Remember that case closed used to be the last show before CN started and scared 7 year old me so much
Grew up with adult swim and I'll never forget the first time I saw Futurama and family guy in the same night Mike lazo will forever be in my heart for his awesome vision
Those surreal bumps were perhaps the precursor to internet “cursed images” or stuff like “the back rooms”
From 2004 (Kindergarten) to 2010 (5th Grade) this channel was everything when the moon was up. I'd pretend to fall asleep early so my parents would close my door and I'd bolt up immediately for this until about 3am. Sometimes they'd catch me and go, "I don't know what this is, but you are done watching it. Go to sleep." The remote would be taken several times, but being so behind the times I still had real buttons on my TV so unless they felt like carrying my anchor of a TV out there was no stopping me after 10pm.
Adult Swim & Toonami will always hold special places in my heart. So many fond memories.
Thanks for introducing me to J Dilla. I'll never forget you.
Thank you for mentioning DOOM. Im an underground rapper, he was my idol growing up and he didnt get the love he deserved while he was here. My first tattoo was the helmet on my arm where i can always see it for inspiration. AS did a lot to help people find him and the whole network definitely shaped my humor as you said about yourself. Great vid and random fact; one of my friends played in a skit on Loiter Squad back in the day. The one where they arrest the bench.
Me and my bro shared a room and adult swim was always on our tv at night, even if we weren’t watching it, the vibes in the backround and the music was the best
Adult Swim is definitely why I got into lofi (even though my earliest memories of lofi come from the mid-90s when my parents put on their mixtapes). [AS] definitely shaped my teen/college years!
You encapsulated this part of our lives so well. Thanks for helping me dust off some old memories. ‘98 over here. I gotta get me an adult swim t-shirt now.
Out of all the "nerdy" CZcams channels out there, Internet Pitstop with his raw low budget videos are far more down to earth than a lot of other CZcamsrs who try to come off as genuine, but to me seem corny or fake
Great videos man! You are easily my favorite CZcamsr
amazing video, you needa blow up man! Keep grinding and don't worry your hard work will pay off! This is amazing
adult swim bumps (2008 and before) are the highlight of my childhood nostalgia
I've had a playlist of them for the better part of a decade now because they were so nostalgic to me and it's funny to see someone ELSE felt it too
I wish I could go back to seeing my first bump. And realize what it was I was seeing and how important to me it really was.
I remember being a flying lotus fan for a minute and then hearing it on adult swim for the first time blew my fucking mind, I felt like they really were connected to the viewers in a tangible way
Ayy, the Go To Bed Bump thumbnail! Probably one of the best bumps ever, if not the best outright. The _Vibes_ are just
_Perfection._
I loved watching Adult Swim throughout the 2000's. My whole life as a pre teen and teenager, this was perfect to grow and experience late nights with my friends as we matured throughout Junior and Senior High. Man, this brings back memories. I'd love to go back in time and watch a legitimate week or so of classic adult swim again. Family guy, Futurama, Inu Yasha, Bebop, SeaLab 2021, ATHF, Robot Chicken are some of my all time favorites.
I know im a bit younger, but in the early 2010s I remember when I was little and I would watch cartoon network I would always watch it with my mom while we was eating dinner and when it hit about 9 I think cartoon network would always do that goodbye skit and then say adult swim was airring and I would have to go to bed. But, I remember I always wanted to see it, and I remember around the age of problably 6 I was in my living room and I purposely acted like I was asleep so I could turn it on and see what it was for the first time and...it opened my eyes to the beginging of the like this sorta rebbelious and internet culture side of the world. I would remeber sneakly watching it all the way till I was about 12 and I remebered the bumps and the scary ones that had me under my covers. I would remeber randomly waking up at like 2-5 am just so confused at what I was watching, but I loved all of it. Seeing this video really brought back some childhood memories and I thank you for that bro💯❤.
Adult swim put me on to anime and adult animation like Aqua Teen Hunger Force, all the Seth McFarland shows, and king of the hill. It was integral to my brothers and I childhood.
Awesome, thank you for dragging "The Dawn is Your Enemy" out of my subconscious. That terrified me as a kid.
When I was very little, I would beg my parents to let me sleep on the couch in the living room (the only room with cable) and would instead stay up til the early AM hours watching the OG adult swim, back when they still had the senior swimming bumps. I became infatuated and continued watching it as I grew up, watched many series get bornt and die, as I got older I had the cognizance to keep up with new releases and those were my first experiences following the larger plot of a TV series. The debut of Off The Air just so happened to coincide with the beginning of my journey into psychedelics, imagine the dopamine rush that gave me when I accidentally stumbled upon the perfect trippy show from the perfect trippy channel I'd been in love with since childhood. It's remained a total obsession of mine 20 years later, I've started collecting physical adult swim media and merch, and still revisit my favorite series regularly. But man, catching those original broadcasts in elementary school, witnessing first hand the peak
[adult swim] aesthetic years, I'll never forget ❤️
I didn't realize until watching this just how much of my personality and interests like the music I listen to and the shows I watch are directly influenced by adult swim without me even realizing it.
While I was born in the early 2000s and missed out on the majority of adult swim content, (plus strict parents) when I was at my grandparents apartment I used to stay up late watching cartoons, then fall asleep watching some adult cartoon like samurai Jack or robot chicken. While adult swim was a small part of my life, it still was and is important to me and all of us.
Randomly was recommended this in my CZcams feed after my night shift, and honestly made me realize I have more nostalgia for Adult Swim then I have for cartoon network. My mom legit let me watch all the adult swim stuff growing up in the late 00s and 10s, and honestly it shaped a large amount of my humor and art/music tastes. NGL this video makes me miss having cable and staying up late to watch robot chicken, aqua teen, boondocks, cowboy bebop reruns, and older seasons of family guy.
Youre becoming one of my favorite channels on CZcams. Gonna binge your stuff. Thanks for taking me back to better times. I'll cherish these memories forever.
This vid is such nostalgia trip my guy adult swim and toonami really did have an impact on us at least in my experience I feel like not many people have acknowledged it but you hit the nail on the head keep up the good work
When a bump came on me and my brother would fight to see who could see the AS first, of course we were sad Cartoon Network ended but, Adult Swim to us as kids was always somewhat, satisfying, just the vibe it brought, I dunno, I loved the bumps
It’s like they really knew how to catch the vibes of late night chilling. smoking a blunt coming back to bed listening to the bumps and shows were so relaxing
I remember the 1st time seeing adult swim with anime. It was DBZ and Yu Yu Hakusho, those commercials(bumps) really did something special.
This is my first time watching your channel and i do have to say that your video captures the essence of early 2000’s adult swim pretty damn accurately, I Love It, keep up the great work!
I remember as a little kid seeing it come on for the first time when I was up late. The Futurama intro started and I had asked my dad what it was and he said he didn't know. From then on I was always trying to fight my tiny little body and my parents to stay up and watch [as]. I still remember the William Street end credit hitting me with this existential horror from the bell ringing haha. AS really helped shape my humor too, so a big thanks has to go out to Lazzo and the crew. And you Pitstop for bringing up old but gold memories. What a video.
"The dawn is your enemy" that bump resonated with me
I can talk about how formative its TV shows are for my childhood all day, but just like you summed up in this video their bumps were arguably just as important in the [AS] experience. Whether it was some beats that went hard, or some weird nightmare fuel bump you saw at 2 in the morning
J Dilla, Nujabes, Prefuse 73, Boards of Canada, Flying Lotus, Madlib, Battles, Bibio, DANGERDOOM & many more, the first time I heard all these great artists were through Adult Swim. Im forever in their debt for the TV shows & bumps. Not even joking when I say it, but one of my biggest life regrets is not staying up regularly to watch AS until late 2010 lol. Thankfully I had CZcams to go back & see all the bumps I missed before then, Ive almost pretty much seen it all at this point
Damn dude, just adult swims music influence is so amazing. I don’t think we’d have stuff like lo fi girl without it
I honestly never made the connection myself or remembered why Lofi seemed familiar to me and not alien when I first heard it. I thought it was just inherently nostalgic.
Wow! Imagine my surprise when I see the playlist I made ages ago pop up on screen at 12:17. I remember making a copy of someone else's for private use (adding some more to it), but at some point they deleted theirs. Made mine public after that; glad it is of use still! Thanks for making this video man.
I know I’m late but you deserve to know I enjoyed that edit considerably and your investment was justified.
Not to mention, I love how Flying Lotus, Madlib, and J Dilla and other artists use samples from Bollywood songs and movies. As a South Asian. I love to see it.
Adult swim already has so much lost content we just neda start and never stop recording the show
Holy shit, I had no idea that I had been watching adult swim pretty much since it’s inception.
Man, I still remember watching Cowboy Bebop in 2002 at 1/2AM. I had to turn the volume to 0-1 to watch it, when I finally got out of elementary school and could put the sound on it was mind blowing.
Having been overseas, then coming to the USA after 9/11 is how I think I knew that AS had the cool shows.
Though, I still remember home movies coming out on Cartoon Network. God that was such a crazy fucking show to have on after school.
Literally “the dawn is your enemy” bump made me die the first time I saw it.
They had a bump with the track Constants are Changing by Boards of Canada a long while ago which blew my mind when I first heard it. Hit my soul lol
In 2001 I was in 7th grade when this premiered and I was still a kid. I watched it religiously and by 2006 I remember staying up late in high school getting high watching samurai champloo with my friends and my mind being blown. I feel like Adult Swim grew up with me. Little did I know how much all those years of AD would affect my personality.
Man, I really miss those days. Wish I could go back.
Being 31 this video made me realize how much [Adult Swim] impacted me. Great video, I’ll sub
I'm no expert, but I'd say this is a pretty accurate essay on why most of us like Adult Swim the way we do.
Great vid!
Wow man, thank you for making this video. It reached into my heart and pulled out some deep emotions and memories. Adult swim was there for me to escape into late night in my teen years once upon a time when things were rough and this reminded me of that escape and how important media is sometimes even when we don't realize it at the time or take it for granted. I'll definitely be checking out your other content. Cheers mate.
Yeah man no problem thank you for appreciating it makes all the work completely worth it, I love this video a whole lot meant a lot making it so again thank you much love
I remember waking up to some of the bumps in between Bleach and Zatch Bell and some of them were mad freaky. That “dawn is your enemy” one was one that i remember vividly. But thats what made me wanna watch AS as a young kid. I begged my Dad to let me stay up and give it a chance and thankfully he did. We would stay up until midnight on Fridays and watch Family Guy, King of the Hill and Aqua Teen while we waited for the Squidbillies block. Really enjoyed this video! Thanks for linking all the bumps too. Ab to take a trip back in time later haha. Keep it up!
so true i miss the random dope boom bap beats they would play while showing random messages and waking up in the middle of the night to a random ass aqua team episode or some crazy ass robot chicken sketch
i remember waking up during middle school at like 2am from one of the worst fever dreams of my life to the off the air segments and the first thing my eyes saw was the episode where they showed the video Drinking Outta Cups, i wasn't sure if that was a fever dream too until like 5 years later i started looking into it and found out that it wasn't, i kinda miss watching tv because of that since i dont think i would have ever had that experience anywhere else
Nice use of Tycho in this video. Love that track. Definitely perfect for an analysis video commenting on the chill vibes of Adult Swim bumps. And also, perfect use of Eric Wareheim’s zoning mind blown face lmao.
born 1991. shout out to Adult Swim for many awesome memories staying up late, watching cool shows with my older brothers. this video unzipped me. ITS ALL COMING BACK
I was in 8th grade in 2001 when I first started watching adult swim. It had such a big influence on me throughout high school and introduced me to different music, shows and anime that I still enjoy today. I haven’t had cable in over a decade but at least hbo has a lot of their shows, although I do miss the bumps and music
Literally adult swim was my childhood dude robot chicken, aqua force? I forgot the name rn, king of the hill, squidbillies, futurama and way more dude good ol days
