The Dawn is Your Enemy was a sign-off bump that was shown on Adult Swim between 2005 and 2010. The point of the bumper was to scare children (especially those who stay up too late, hence why it would appear every early in the morning) from watching the block. The bumper shows a pencil sketch style image of a pair of human-like eyes gazing over a field covered with flowers and trees, and in the distance a sun with a face is seen. Sometime around May 2020, a decade after, it made a return in the form of a text bumper called The Dawn is Your Frenemy which begins with a text that reads "we're going to be more positive to see if it makes us feel better" before cutting to the original clip, eventually a red balloon floats up in to the air followed by upbeat piano music, before cutting to an onscreen text that reads "Not sure it's working" and the advert ends. Rumors say that the bump even appeared post-2010 (even in-between commercial breaks), albeit on extremely rare occasions. However, due to the unpredictable nature of Adult Swim's bumpers, there is not much proof to support this claim. The image was displayed during the tweets segment of the June 6th 2021 broadcast when a twitter user asked to see what the bump would look like in widescreen, with the image shown and original sound effect played for a few seconds. For a short time during September 2021, this bump was used as a sign-off, in honor of Adult Swim's 20th anniversary.
EXPLAINING: Adult swim made this on purpose to scare younger viewers so they learned a lesson on never staying up late. This lasted for 5 years and came back in 2020, but it was called "the dawn is your Frenemy" with a creepy piano tune. Then a red balloon shows up. At the end it would show some text saying: [not sure this is working]
I just love how Abrupt it was, like they made it seem someone hijacked the network to show you this or someshit, which is why I think it was effective.
I remember being in like end of middle school start of highschool when this bump first aired. It scared the ever living fuck out of me because it happened shortly after some other spooky shit happened in my house.
My older cousin saw this bumper whenever she was young, i never saw it but she told me about it before, i decided to look it up whenever i heard about it, i thought i would never see it on adult swim but turns out i did back in 2021 as well

When you see this on screen before Cartoon Network You should start running, they are coming for you THE DAWN IS YOUR ENEMY THE DAWN IS MY ENEMY THE DAWN IS OUR ENEMY
the human is trapped in the TV and trying to find help but he can't because he's in the TV but he can only scream that explains why that there's screaming and the sun is nothing but eyes and the dawn is your enemy the dawn means The lake is your enemy and why you're asking? Is because maybe the human wrote it and then I think it's a real person trapped because before there was no human in there and he was the chosen one and it was its enemy and the max limit is one person so he is trapped in there forever he will get old but Cartoon Network can't show it again

Imagine just being a kid waking up early in the morning to watch some Cartoon Network, and this greets you.

Fun fact: it was made to punish kids who stay up late
@@YourBoiMonty but probally got kids who woke up early

That turn from those colorful aesthetics to *horror* is just humorous.
And then cuts back to colorful aesthetics
And proceeds to ait gumball like nothing just happened
Bird up
And Gumball plays at the end. I love it
And I always wonder why. (Creepy music intensifies)
Hmm ok

At day, the "the dawn is your enemy" is just funny looking but when you see it at night it's definetely very creepy
Still kinda creepy during the day...
@@Sykroid yeah, very creepy. But do you know what’s creepy? The worried eyes.
@@ninelgazarova2873 Bro reading that actually freaked me out, you gave me goosebumps
That still haunts me because of that sun or moon in the background with the creepy face
I had a nightmare where I was locked outside and that’s all I saw behind me

...
“Good morning!”

@@lcdream4213 thanks?

I love how it went to BIRD UP! 🔥🔥🔥🔥 to T H E D A W N I S Y O U R E N E M Y

never learned
what if the person just woke up a bit early?
ah yes because adults love acting like theyre the only ones who can do anything and kids are basically their slaves/prisoners.
wouldnt it make sense to put it in the middle of the night instead of during the morning then
I love how they show this bump firstly and then say "Good Morning! 😁😁"
Now y'all kids is going to know how it's feels to be in the 2000S and I was only 5 years old and I seen this
The Dawn Is Your Enemy Came Out Since 16 Years Ago Apart When I Was 4 Years Old & But It Came Back Again Since September In 2021 In 2 Months Ago
I just love how Abrupt it was, like they made it seem someone hijacked the network to show you this or someshit, which is why I think it was effective.
Although it was not designed for scaring kids.
This is why you don’t bird up
If Gumball actually aired The Grieving after the sign-off bumper 💀
That picture explains me in a nutshell when I've been up all night and then have to leave for work in 1 hour 👁️ _ 👁️
Rosario Vampire is such a good show.
I remember being in like end of middle school start of highschool when this bump first aired. It scared the ever living fuck out of me because it happened shortly after some other spooky shit happened in my house.
Cartoon Network will forever be the best program on tv yes cable is dying but Cartoon Network will always live in our minds
Im pretty sure it would even scare adults at night 😂
That smoke alarm chirp...
The sbit went from funny Cockatiel birb stuff to the Horror
Change the batteries in your fire alarm for god’s sake
I miss being a kid ☹️
[then watch cartoon network.]
[then wath cartoon network.]
0:25 Thats my creepy sound in rooms fixed thx man
Kudos to you for getting up early to record this.
We need this thing to play regularly
I made a comment remembering this on Twitter where [as] was talking about their anniversary, but didn't expect it to ACTUALLY AIR!
Ok Nice
0:32 Be cool about fire safety, and change your smoke detector battery my guy!
*chadtronic flashbacks*
My older cousin saw this bumper whenever she was young, i never saw it but she told me about it before, i decided to look it up whenever i heard about it, i thought i would never see it on adult swim but turns out i did back in 2021 as well

I watched this on TV bro, When I stay up too lately also my leg was scared bro
Is it possible they started using it again because it’s the 20th anniversary of [as]?
But The Dawn Of The Enemy Is Over Since 1 Day Ago & 2 Days Ago Too
I just wish they bought back the eldest Sign off when they had a pool era
That Sign Off is Creepy And Scary
It’s Not Scared Me Too
That Came Out Since 16 Years Ago & Then Now It’s Back Again In September In 2021
Yeah
@@AdrianTheAmazingGuy2005 Ok
That's the point
I saw this as a kid and dude, I kid you not, was frozen still and staring at the screen.
POV: you wake up early because you want to see the good morning message
Seeing the sun wink is definitely very unsettling at night ngl
I didn't see a wink
@@soundspeedulti3714 it was only in the extended version.
I love the Arby's ad 💀
This Takes Me Back To 2009
Cant believe i missed this😭

@@UmbreonPokemon204 agreed! The sound effects are horrifying! The sounds of people screaming is so loud that it gives me nightmares and goosebumps!
The dawn truly is the enemy because time is in the essence everywhere.
Pov me waking up early and see this me: THAT IS FUCKING CREPPY!!!
This is the last day that Cartoon Network’s sign on airs
Wait why?
@@lanev8023 for cartoonito to come on September 13

Bro that flickered on my TV with no sound.
Goid thing it didn't show the entire thing 💀

Nope it's can't the sun say "shut up"
All the kids saying in my class: THE TEACHER IS OUR ENEMY!
*The dawn is your enemy* was made to scare children who were watching Adult swim Lol

I wish you guys could've seen my very physical reaction when I heard the smoke alarm beep
I witnessed this live
Eric adre bird up
Hahaha
Ah yes, 2001. You can tell it’s 2001 by the smartphone and charging box on the nightstand. :)
The Dawn Of The Enemy Is Came Out In 2005 When I Was 4 & The Half Years Old
@@keshawnwashington23 I vividly remember this creepy shit, dude!
@@curly_wyn I Know
ik that isnt the point of this video but who made that bird up bump? looks like paul robertson
I bet in 2026 they'll use it for the 25th year anniversary or at 2031 for the 30th
Gumball should be on [AS] tbh
When you see this on screen before Cartoon Network
You should start running, they are coming for you
THE DAWN IS YOUR ENEMY
THE DAWN IS MY ENEMY
THE DAWN IS OUR ENEMY
the human is trapped in the TV and
trying to find help but he can't
because he's in the TV but he can
only scream that explains why that
there's screaming and the sun is
nothing but eyes and the dawn is
your enemy the dawn means The
lake is your enemy and why you're
asking? Is because maybe the
human wrote it and then I think it's a
real person trapped because before
there was no human in there and he
was the chosen one and it was its
enemy and the max limit is one
person so he is trapped in there
forever he will get old but Cartoon
Network can't show it again
0:33: The Dawn is your enemy: I will meet you next time….
Oh boy I can't wait to watch Cartoon network on 9/7/21 on 5:30
Change the batteries in ur fire alarm bro
Was never scared of this but whenever I see it I'm like man.... I think a pulled another all nighter.... school in an hour 👀 🤦🏽♂️
Feels like a creepypasta
Bro who has cable but uses that horrible box TV?!
Its back!?
This is why ya don’t bird up.
It returns...
BIRD U-
(Scarescreen appears)
I’m 21 and this made me feeze
Seeing the sun winking is definitely very unsettling when you watch The Dawn Is Your Enemy in the dark!
Oh... it's the sun who blinks not the strangely worried person
@@canalgenerico1 I wonder who is that person. Is it a guy or a girl?
lol as someone who works overnights and is nocturnal, I couldn't agree more
1 year of this sound
Not gonna lie, the art looks cool. Better if it was on a t-shirt or something.
The point of this was to scare off kids but honestly this would scare off the adults too
0:04 bird up
Hahaha
¿Adult swim Is back in CN? I'm not a gringo
I saw it air right now
0:02 Bird up

Wait. Adult swim and cartoon network are the same?!
