The music of Adult Swim is incredible.
Those bumps between shows were how I discovered so many amazing artists. That and Samurai Champloo.
Ohh god yesss
+Sir Sebastian I loved when they featured the "when I was done dieing" music video where they had multiple animators work on different parts of the song. now its one of my favorite tracks. if there is one thing adult swim has always done right, its the music.
One of the best places to get some dope ass music from.
Adult swim is the shit!
+Sir Sebastian rip nujabes
yes
I literally just realized Adult Swim is the Newgrounds of Television.
Hunh. Yeah they do have the same energy, don't they?
Except no Oney :(
same age. same content creators.
Dude, I have thought about Newgrounds in over a decade. Thanks.
@@TheDashingdoughnut Really? Not even when newgrounds profited off of the sinking ship that is Tumblr by reminding everyone that newgrounds allows NSFW?
Song at 0:07 - Eris Starkey
Song at 4:40 - Flying Lotus - Massage Situation
Song at 7:00 - Richie Branson - Bring Back Toonami
Song at 7:50 (Outro) - Tyler The Creator - Hey You
Couldn't figure out the tune that appears throughout the video.
+skd 3:14 - D-Code-Dust Devil
Hey you is my favorite un realized Tyler song, it's just like something between wolf and bastard. Beautiful
+Rembrandt released*
+skd What about the song at 7:11?
+Xokize If you find the title i'd be interested too !
dude id watch adult swim reruns any day, the way they scheduled the shows with the messages and bumps in between was so dope. You weren't just watching a show, it was like watching a movie.
ik my question is confusing as fuck but is adult swim a tv channel?
I long for the nights of adolescent rebellion. when I'd pretend to be asleep until I couldn't hear any other noise in my apartment. and turn the tv on whilst simultaneously turning the volume down to near mute levels. and I'd digest this programming that I couldn't quite put my finger on, but I knew I liked it and I knew I wanted more. I started watching adult swim I wouldn't even tell anyone about it, it's like it was just for me.
I did the same thing as a child.
we all did this. cursing ourselves the nights we forgot the volume had been a 30 when last shut off, thus betraying us.
>it's like it was just for me.
Truly a guilty pleasure. I enjoyed that some of the content was engaging too, I had to think about the joke as a child rather than an "oopsie" cartoon you just observe.
Same here man, but I especially remember the times where my cousins would visit and we'd try to stay awake and wait for everyone else to fall asleep. Then after we made sure, we would tip-tor as quietly as we could and go to the living to watch adult swim, especially family guy. But eventually we would get caught lol.
There’s just this vibe with it
They were supposed to do something similar with Adult Swim in the UK and make British shows, but it all collapsed sadly :(
Why aren't you verified?
Goddamn... :(
@@sebastianmontoyavelazquez5426 too bad America's the only reason why you're in this video watching me
i know i hate to see it fall :( Fuck you turner.
Thats because they dont have freedom of speech. Its why america is where asian college students go to learn creativity, because they are too into math efficiency. Freedom of expression births art.

Adult Swim is one of those blocks that isn't for everyone, but if it's the block for you, it will be your favorite.
Man, I have to say, your channel is quickly becoming some of the best content on RUclips in my opinion. Between this and your Superman video you can tell you really care about the topic at hand and it's awesome. Dope to see concise well written videos like this. Super interesting, keep it up man!
adult swim, for me, is the epitome of what television should be. when the conversation of tv being outdated thanks to things like netflix and hulu comes up, i generally agree, but that's only because no other channel does tv right. the way adult swim is run is something that can really only be done on tv and i think that's beautiful.
Adult swim and Comedy Central were my middle school pass times
I remember buying the season 3 dvd set of robot chicken in 7th grade and watching it with my friend. That Williams Street outro is unforgettable.
I grew up with Space Ghost and Adult Swim from their beginning. When I saw this video come up in my feed and i thought "hmph! what could I possibly hear about Adult Swim that I don't already know" .... and I was pleasantly surprised to be immediately bombarded with great new information.
Well Done! Thanks for making this!
I'm SO glad Kaptainkristian is getting so much more recognition now - I consider him to EASILY be one of the top 10 most talented content creators on RUclips. I've been watching his stuff ever since his debut video about the oldschool Superman shorts, and I subscribed to him immediately. :)
I always look forward to his videos and whenever one comes out I literally drop whatever else I'm doing to watch it.
"And that's one thing you can't get from netflix"
*snaps* Yess that's what i'm talking about
also shouts out to China, Il
I loved watching Home Movies and space ghost every night.Adult Swim is my shit.And I wish they would bring back all the Old people and pool clips in between shows again that shit is so Nostalgic for me.
I'm not going to sugar coat here, the production value of this video blew my mind! I swear I thought it was produced by adult swim themselves, that's how good it was. If you keep this up you're going to you're going to get a shit-ton of a subscribers, I subscribed because I look forward to more of your videos and seeing you grow.
I love the Adult Swim Smalls
They introduced me to many great relatively small artist like Jack Stauber, Alan Resnick and Vewn
The same with Off The Air
Dude i saw the first 30 seconds of your video, paused, looked down at all the otger vids you ddi, and immediately subscribed. You deserve way more.
Why does your page say you have no content? I want to watch more.
+kikiki Check again, it should be fixed now
+kaptainkristian thanks for fixing it
+kaptainkristian bro what's the song of the bumb at 4:00
+kaptainkristian You're content is absolutely perfect. Quality editing, superb writing, and you never fail to explain and translate the distinctly different nature of the material you cover. And on top of that...Tyler the Creator AND The Gorillaz holy shit nice taste.
Massage Situation by Flying Lotus
Adult Swim & CN are still to this day my favorite hub for animation. I feel like out of the Big three Disney/ Nick & CN. CN is the only NETWORK willing to take some kinda of a risk, especially Adult Swim.
Disney has best movies, Nickelodeon has best characters but CN just has that iconicness and best shows so I agree with you!
@@gtvchnl Oh yeah, no doubt that Disney has the better movies, and I feel like in the past like year and a half Nick's step up its animation game. I just wish CN would try releasing movies to theaters again, I mean the last time they tried was kinda of Aqua Teen. But that was more of a Adult Swim thing.
@@razordad7546 Nickelodeon Movies produced The Adventures of Tintin
@@princewellidk Yeah that's a good point. I was thinking of Nickelodeon tv animated stuff. But yeah they did make Rango, and Tin Tin, Plus Rise of TMNT, Korra are good
@@razordad7546 Columbia Pictures distributed The Adventures of Tintin so it is considered a Sony Pictures Animation movie.
I watch this video at least once a month, so good.
this was one of the most nostalgic, feel good, all around amazing videos I've ever seen on RUclips . thank you for giving us all this gift 🙏
2 years ago this video came out, and im watching it. That shows your talent.
Some shows I really liked while others I really didn't but that comes with the risk taking aspect of the channel.
This is probably one of the greatest videos ever uploaded. To anything
I think I was there when adult swim first premiered. Didn't know it was coming up and had no idea what it was, but I remember watching it all and falling in love. I was a kid in the adult pool that day.
woah.. this content is no joke.. i didn't know a lot of this shit and i've been watching adult swim for as long as i can remember. love this channel already. you got yourself a new subscriber.
Very well put
“ it gave you a favorite “
I love how things come and go on Cartoon Network.
Out of all your videos this may be the best, and that says a lot my man
I used to record Adult Swim on VHS, come home from elementary and watch it with my sister on a small little TV with a VHS input. Shows like Home Movies... Sealab2020, The Oblongs, The Brak Show... etc.
Damn that's some slick editing, this video also made me nostalgic for Adult Swim, watching it with my brother when we were in our early teens and feeling like rebels. I still love Venture Bros and Metalocalypse to this day.
All kids out of the pool.
Sir? What are you eating? Sir what is that? Pimento cheese? No eating in the pool!
I just came here to say I remember the day cartoon network went on air. I was just a kid (12?) raised on retro TV. I had TV LAND for Andy Griffith & Cartoon Network for the Snorks.
But slowly those shows were pushed out by originals until they were no more.
I stumbled across [AS] accidentally back in 2001. Was it Friday or Saturday nights? I recall that it was a two or three hour block of cartoons, with NO commercial breaks, repeated again at least once into the early morning. With no commercials, they'd run three 20-minute episodes per hour. Usually a couple Home Movies episodes, then some SGC2C, then came the great stuff: ATHF, Sealab, Harvey Birdman... The shows, and moreso the way they were packaged at the time, provoked a feeling of surrealism and rhythm. Definitely a different vibe than what you get marathoning a single show, because you have to comprehend the change in style from program to program. And the interstitial cards made you feel like you were at low key get together, even if you were by yourself.
I stopped watching with the advent of 12 Oz Mouse and Perfect Hair Forever(?). Took too much effort to understand, when I was looking for brain candy, plus the increased popularity meant the advent of commercial interruptions: good for [AS] but a killer of the almost meditative mood it would put me in. Not long after I all but stopped watching any broadcast or cable programming. This video makes me wish I had stuck around.
I would stay up till 2 in the morning every night watching adult swim. Wake up at 6AM tired as hell, sleep on the bus, sleep outside homeroom before class starts, sleep during first period if I could. Worth it.
So happy I came across this channel.
You mentioned MTV but you didn't at all mention Liquid Television. Many would consider that the predecessor to adult swim. I'm very curious as to what that program may have to do with the creation of adult swim or any connections that may exist.
Josh Rafail
Right? Not mentioning it just doesn’t make sense.
David Hughes of "Off the Air" fame used to work for MTV as well as Liquid Television. Animations and transitions in Celebrity Deathmatch, the psychedelic scene from Beavis and Butthead Do America, all David Hughes. This man is one of the more influential members of the AS staff and probably why the MTV/LTV influences are felt.
Good to see someone giving Liquid Television some respect. That and it's format spinoffs (Cartoon Sushi and Liquid Extract) not only were pioneers in a similar way AS was but also launched some animators that ended up on doing shows on Cartoon Network.
I love Space ghost from coast to coast. Thank you Adult Swim. I hope you can keep up the fine work.
Top 5 AS Shows:
1. The Boondocks
2. Rick and Morty
3. Robot Chicken
4. Venture Bros.
5. Aqua Teen Hunger Force
Chieff Rocka perfect list but athf has to be at the top
Jeremiah Sallaway eh. I didn't enjoy the later episodes that much. That's why it's at the bottom of my Top 5.
all of my favorite music artist have been on adult swim
I was there in the golden age of adult swim, I got a bunch of them on dvd
2001-2008 lowkey 2009
You did make a really good point. The fact that a lot of these shows actually had a place on network television is a beautiful thing. You don't see a lot of timeslots for shows about talking meat on other networks. And if they get canceled, I guess its good they made it as far as they did.
That Williams street bump, I need that as a notification sound... Lol
Ahh when he said
"Where looking on vine"
That killed me but then i remember it didnt die
It simply got revived
got to say, started watching you just an hour ago. i'm hooked. you have fucking awesome content. keep at it.
this is my new favorite youtube channel
When I was first experiencing the depression that I had just recently found out has plagued the males of my bloodline for generations, it was always as i tried to sleep when my thoughts drifted suicide. It was so fortunate that this was when adult swim began. It was so good it literally made me forget I had just been considering my death as a reasonable way of dealing with this chemical imbalance. Also the fact that I was only 12 or 13 and at the time my particular brand of humor was, immature at best. This block of television literally saved my life more times than I could count.
I just had a flash to the past.
thanks, now I'm depressed I can never go back...
This is one of the most beautiful, creatively cut and drawn RUclips videos I have ever seen.
God damn! I'm gonna pimp out your channel hard! Good work my man!
wooow, that is like million percent more effort they put into everything than I thought they had :OOO
This video makes me so happy. So much nostalgia
Space Ghost was my Dad...
I had goosebumps throughout this whole video. This block of television basically defined my teenage years...
This is my favourite video on RUclips, every time I scroll past it I click on it
Yeah me too
That intro should be a bumper for AS by itself.
Celebrating 20 years of Adult Swim today by watching this
This video introduced me to Cowboy Bebop. Best mini doc channel on RUclips
While I never grow up with Adult Swim since I'm from Canada 🇨🇦 but damn those shows were my jam during my childhood! 😄
Now I kind of feel bad for never watching adult swim as a kid, but like, some of their ads we're legit scary to me as a kid lmao
I was waiting the whole video to see a clip with the Venture Bros in it, and right at the end I was like "yesssssss"
Shoutout to Adult Swim for literally creating Run The Jewels
Back in the early 90's MTV had Liquid Television which lasted a couple seasons. Adult swim took that idea so much farther. Still one of the only reasons I waste my time with TV is just for Adult swim, a venue which has seriously changed the entertainment landscape on TV in general.
I learned so much from this video. However, there's a glaring omission so glaring that even the largest & most 80s of style's sunglasses can not diffuse the glare that's there. Archer. You can't make a video like this, without touching on how the repurposed art assets that became many shows on Adult Swim, such as the incredibly creative and oddly fucking hilarious Sealab, then became Drisky Dingo, then became a foundation solid enough to attract actors doing voice acting from fucking Arrested Development. Sealab, to Frisky Dingo, to.... just, make more of Adult Swim, and its wing :P
anyone know the song at 7:30?
I seriously want to know as well. 7:30 - 7:42
We need this comment higher. We need to know!
aah same question!
I found it. It's Tyler, the Creator - Hey You
Nash Potter What's the song that starts at 7:30 and ends at 7:42? Tyler's song comes after that.
God bless adult swim for showing me how to think for myself in a religious town in this religious state
Sadly this empire has begun it's downfall with the cancellation of Venture Brothers.
Begin it’s downfall? It started a few years ago when they canned Metalocalypse. Then forcing Aqua Teen Hunger Force off the air. The cancellation of VB May as have put them in free fall. I say well deserved since they’d rather keep giving 70 episodes to Reddit: The Animated Series. Why let anyone else make shows when you can just run syndication of Family Guy and King of the Hill, and cash in on being a meme with a show that’s long since jumped the shark.
Wow this was really dope I been a fan of Adult Swim since 1992 when Beavis & Butthead went off I was tune in📺like literally I remember every night they use to play SILVER HAWKS and ill sneak in the kitchen grab my favorite bowl of cereal and just be glue and I'll truly will like and love to say thank you so much Adult Swim for like literally saving my life cant go into details at this point but yeah you still a big influence in apart of my life i dont watch no other station like cartoon network like seriously but yeah thanks guys GREAT JOB 👍💯like Tim & Eric will say
Watching mature and experimental shows on Adult Swim from 12-4am on the weekend is pretty much the same as my dad's generation watching Monty Python's Flying Circus when it aired 40 years ago (can't remember the channel but it aired late at night in our area). The experimental and absurd content was honestly better than watching late-night porn which was also an option - porn all looks the same after a while but the stuff on AS that came and went over the years was simply AWESOME because you didn't know what you were getting into. Adult Swim was great!
song at end?
Where's the track of 0:40?
[top.down] Beatmasta x Altitude
ur welcome
And now Toonami airs nothing but children's anime
Didn't Toonami always air anime? ^_^ And I don't know very many kids who watch Toonami or anime sadly. But it's awesome if they do!
In the video he describes how Adult Swim helped changed people's attitudes towards animation in general. They also changed people's opinion on Japanese animation with more mature shows like Cowboy Bebop. And now they have nothing but children's shows on the block on Adult Swim.
It's a bit sad is all.
Just be glad that you even have Toonami in the first place, Adult Swim here in Canada doesn't have Toonami which really sucks because I've heard they currently air the exclusively dubbed Hunter x Hunter series
Children's anime?
It's on here in the US. Hunter x Hunter is a great anime and a great deconstruction of the shonen genre. I just don't like the fact that the titles aren't diverse as they all are shonen anime and I'm kinda tired of that at my age. Granted, Gundam IBO is on but I'm watching season 2 online now and the first season is ending soon.
Space Ghost Coast to Coast was one of my all time favorite shows ever. So damn funny.
Home movies and the brak show were amazing too. All of the orig shows were great.
needs its own channel like right now in my Early voice
Wow. I'm going to be honest with everybody here: When I heard Steve Blum's voice, it instantly took me back 15 years. When I was 9 and 10 and I waited religiously for the new DBZ . Anyways, it brought a few tears to my eyes...
Adult swim saved and introduced me to some of me most favorite shows. They are my gods.
I just graduated high school when [Adult Swim] was starting out. I love [Adult Swim]! Great television!
Dude this is awesome. This is just my content creation account but I'll be logging in here to watch your shit.
Clone High was my favourite short lived cartoon.
I feel like I missed out on Adult Swim, simply because cable was so damn expensive 10 years ago. ATHF FOREVER!
I’d like the see a history of Ghost Planet Industries/Williams Street
I love this guys videos!👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽
Venture bros is still one of my favorites shows
"...but we weren't asleep." How iconic.
yo man keep this shit up im diggin your style on presentation.
Great video. Have you ever considered doing a video on Frisky Dingo?
Excellent Video.....absolutely great.
Goddamn. Extreme nostalgia. Actually got misty.
Chris :D
chris!!
Man I can't go anywhere without you, skeptic, or shoe showing up in the comments
How ya doing chrissy poo
I know right?
"That's one thing you can't get from Netflix"
-best, anti-Netflix campaign, EVER.
Won't lie, after watching this, I felt like I needed to find a way to watch Adult Swim live again...
same here man,my parent cut cable so I have no access to things like [as] but atleast they arent like cn where you have to pay to watch episodes of shows on there website so maybe live is in the future?
the adult swim website live streams pretty much everything they've ever made for free. They also stream exactly what their showing on tv online if you have a cable provider.
Thonmoy Rahman dude your pic fucked me up I thought there was a piece of hair I couldn't get off my screen
I mean Netflix with it's million of dollars of budget did not even keep Sense8
Watched all your videos in one sitting. Amazing channel man! subbed.
Sayman
not gonna lie, i'm enjoying these videos more than every frame a painting as of now
Smoush,That's Space Ghost
So good. Great comment.
Adult Swim introduced me to the entertainment I needed growing up :J
I love adult swim
So amazing program
Ayyyye Score PN! Love your videos man
7:24 "AdultSwim cancelled your favorite show? Good. The important part is it gave you a favorite show."
I think this should be told to like 90% of the [AS] fanbase, at least the one that's on facebook, seeing all the cancerous comments like "Bring back" and " sucks, cancel it!". Great editing on the video btw, enjoyed it!
O shit there is bmar
People bitch so much, but never support TV shows when it's on air. The reason shit gets cancelled cuz not enough watched ($) .pirating ur fave show ain't helping no one
Stay noided
OH SHIT IM FEELING IT
Metalocalypse movie was not very good. Maybe, its plot could be stretched into the whole season.
Rest in peace, C. Martin Croker. He voiced and animated space ghost: coast to coast, and he will be dearly missed
And he was the original host for Toonami before TOM.
He also voiced Dr Weird and Steve on ATHF
Was he murphy on sealab too?
@@thenegativoneify That was Harry Goz (RIP)
Rip ❤️🩹
Adult Swim and Toonami influenced my taste in music
James in no small way either I got goosebumps
all of us
I think adult swim and toonami made me tolerate of other things like music shows and ideas...they basically made me not judge a book by its cover...I appreciate that...their very welcoming unlike cn disney abc nick fox pbs..theres a level of acceptance involved with the people making it and less bias...they will run any crap they want...
WELP LEMME INTRODUCE YOU TO NORDVPN
Of all the shows that had the potential to withstand the test of time, only Aqua Teen Hunger force manages to hang in there. It's like the spongebob of Adult Swim
let's not forget the boondocks, which for whatever reason they stopped making because it's not like it didn't get ratings
+Jonathan Brazzle Wasn't the fourth season apparently a huge letdown for fans?
Bud Spudsy the creator wasnt in on it and it just wasnt the same
Anyone remember Korgoth Of Barbaria? They never picked up the series because they felt it's budget would've been too high. But everyone could tell just from it's test pilot that it would've been one of the greatest Adult Swim shows ever produced. It's a shame that Adult Swim never took a chance with that one, it likely would've paid for itself in the ratings.
robot chicken has had like 7 or 8 seasons. They are still going. Rick and Morty will probably keep going for a while. ATHF ended not too long ago if I remember correctly.
I recall being a little kid and getting nervous when the "adult swim" logo came on in the evening because it creeped me out...but watching it anyway, of course.
+paloma same
hahaha so true
Everytime
Same, man. I was in 5th grade when I started watching Adult Swim XDDD
yooo same
I am getting unnecessarily emotional over this.
I don't know if anyone can relate.
Steve Blum voice Guilmon.
James Embrey I feel that my dude.
SSJ Carl RELATABLE
definitely can relate, adult swim showed up when I was my most impressionable, it taught me alot about what creativity means and how wonderful the weird can be
SSJ Carl Absolutely. My childhood as many others was built around toonami and adultswim. I swear those were some really great times.
Wow. This channel has a big future ahead!
Now You See It To be honest, it always had.
