one day as a kid i used to always fall asleep watching cartoon network, well after 9 it turns into adult swim. i remember waking up one night and hearing the icelandic ultra blue song “2:49” and still to this day i’ve never been able to get it out of my head. moral of the story great job adult swim your add worked
I’ll forget the lyrics to a popular song I hear on the radio all the time but one stupid song like this will stay with me forever. So you are not alone and this song has haunted me ever since I first saw this.
The first time I watched this was back in 2009-10 at 3am on LSD. There was no bump to even separate the genuine commercials from this fever dream. The confusion this caused my lil brain was just tasty.
I think these Troll-infomercials were the best idea Adult Swim came up with in years. The Fatt-Fucks portion is the best out of this whole thing. I remember when Cartoon Network used to air infomercials some time after Space Ghost ended adult swim existed (and I know adult swim also had infomercials air in the peak of the morning), so seeing this is a great spin on that shit.
Yeah it's trippy too. It's more trippy than Book Of Christ.Unedited Footage Of Wild Bear is like so trippy though because it takes you into the depths of what it could be like on Crystal Meth or Crack, but the video calls it Claridyl i think. Too Many Cooks is really cool too, but it was more of a show than a informercial. Making it hard to grasp what was really going on until that Fat guy started killing everyone. It's message is too complicated for the average person.
igotapk If you think there is an underlying "message" within any of these productions then I feel bad for how many shitty, over-analyzing english teachers you must have had. Look up the creators of adult swim, especially those at Williams Street studios, and you will find that they have no underlying morals or messages and only serve to provide satirical relief from all of the formulaic bullshit mainstream tv provides these days. Too many cooks did not have any message whatsoever, it was basically a gag on their parts to see how many idiots they could trick into spending hours watching and rewatching the video to try and piece together useless information.
igotapk BroomShakalaka is imo the best. For Profit Online University gets an honorable mention as well as Live Forever as you Are now. Unedited Footage of a Bear is straight up terrifying though.

6:47 When Dr. Samuelson appeared I laughed for a good straight 3 minutes and lost all of my breath. I think I'll need some Icelandic Ultrablue after that.
@@adalwin1875 To me it seems obviously regarding the husband of the deceased splintered wife who also buys gold. His performance in Fatt ****'s clinic stole the whole infomercial.
If you read the open letter from H. Jon Benjamin and David Cross, it's the other way around. "Unedited Footage of a Bear" (and the entire AS Infomercial concept) is a ripoff of IUB after Lazzo shelved it for years.
i think this was the first adult swim infomercial i saw and i was like WHAT IS THIS NEW FORM OF COMEDY? fake commercials on real tv?! as you can tell im easily amazed
+Menvajea Wrong. It is part of a series called Infomercials. There is a whole season. Basically it's just a bunch of really strange, fake infomercials. Also Too Many Cooks.
www.adultswim.com/videos/infomercials/ Huh. Well, never mind. You were actually right. I thought this entire time Icelandic UltraBlue was supposed to be a series that didn't make it past the pilot, but they decided to revive the idea with For-Profit Online University, Too Many Cooks, etc. a few years down the line.
Alpha Chow was strange. Too Many Cooks was catchy as is this. This House Has People in It, Unedited Footage of a Bear and pretty much everything else was weird.
I remember seeing this years ago on AS and I have NEVER forgotten it. It's weird like most AS stuff, but it's a unique kind of weird...where it seems like a satire of paid programs...but it's also someone's fever dream. Idk, it just leaves an impact. Edit: also it's strange that I haven't seen this in years and yet I still somehow remember most of the lyrics to that Icelandic Ultra Blue theme song. Like I said, it leaves an impression.
Sweet! The first ever Adult Swim Paid Programming short! I guess the rivalry between David Cross and Mike Lazzo ended in a good note! Looking forward to more!
This is painful! I remember the first time I heard this it was on loop for an hour on adult swim, I'd been drinking and was playing video games. It was stuck in my head for days after, honestly surprised I survived that ordeal.
Every time when I was riding my bicycle to do sports from my house to the airport, I almost always got tired, now thanks to Icelandic Ultrablue, I can ride my bicycle for 10 hours and more without getting tired. Thanks Icelandic Ultrablue making my life better! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Awesome video. I laughed a lot!

"when the astronauts first came to earth" best line
It’s something that could go right over your head if you don’t think about it enough, but the flow of the video makes you analyze every moment
@@mygills3050 I was distracted thinking of why astronauts would need their own embalming fluid lol

I love how they're mixing up the countries. Norway, Iceland, and the Norwegian doctor with an American accent.
Plus their lingo is wrong, they don't say "oi m8, another shrimp on the bobby lad innit?", They say "yo holmes, shite in the bucket mahn, brrrrrrt".
Doctor with an American accent, Swedish name, says he's from Norway, and advertises a product apparently from Iceland
"the pride of Norway, Icelandic ultrablue"
And O'Connell MCmicmic
There’s a million tiny details on here I’m obsessed with, like how the embalm balm uses “the same stuff astronauts used when they first came to earth”
Girl: “So what are your music tastes?“
Me: “Ever heard of that Irish woman that sings about Icelandic Ultrablue?“
oh you mean O'Connell Mcmicmic? She's great.
I unironically fucking adore this song.
That's what keeps me coming back to this video. That song pops back into my head and I have to watch this for all its glory
I'm just not sure she's Irish. Gwahaha!!!
Is she the chick from "Children's Hospital" on Adult Swim?

Real infomercials are so creepy to me. It's scary that people that lame actually exist.
MY THOUGHTS EXACTLYYYYY
+kecola I am convinced that if hell exists it is being strapped into a chair in a dark room and being forced to watch infomercials for eternity.
that would be fine if its all adult swim infos :D
kecola welcome to the world
There is no such thing as "real" infomercials. It's all staged, and you're a fool. :)
