Adult swim always gave me a uncomfortable feeling as a kid , knowing it was on it reminded me it was late at night and I should be asleep and it gave me a feeling of loneliness and in my own thoughts, especially seeing it on my tv at night with the volume all the way down

[@steveking9146]

When I was like maybe a sophomore to junior etc this shit was on all the time and it was perfectly timed for that part of my life. Coming home after a night of shrooms or lsd, maybe just tons of herb, and trying to get sleep before school but totally unable to, turning on adult swim and tripping. The dawn is your enemy bumper used to come up constantly and I would be laughing getting ready for school all tore up and shit.

[@jbruh6246]

Yeah I would say its definitely not for everyone, it really all depends on how you feel about night time, especially if you aspire to the day = good, night = bad paradigm. Night time was always the opposite for me, knowing that everyone else was asleep and the expectations that were constantly forced upon you during the day were gone. To me there's nothing like being alone at 3 am watching shit made by pill poppers.

[@daverowemusic92]

Another one worth bringing up: Moral Orel got canceled because of the ‘Alone’ episode. The show was originally meant to have 5 seasons, but when they aired Alone the Adult Swim executives were so put off by the super dark tone of the episode (which dealt with subjects like rape and abortion) that they not not only scrapped seasons 4 and 5 but also cut season 3 (the season Alone is from) in half. There were a lot of storylines that never saw the light of day. It’s interesting to see how the show would’ve played out had it stuck around, but I think the creators were able craft a pretty good ending with what they had left.

Ah man, your friend should've included about the "The Heart She Holler" screamers! THSH was a show starring a creepy monster, and Adult Swim promoted it by randomly inserting 2 second long screamers throughout the night. It was so quick and subtle that it almost made you question whether it actually happened or if you're just seeing things.

[@Kodeb8]

Oh, and I almost forgot! Sometime in the 2000s, AS for some reason aired reruns of Saved By The Bell, for like 2 weeks. The bumpers in between were some nightmare fuel distorted clips from the show. Also, people online got so pissed at this that they started calling Adult Swim "crappy 80s sitcom network" (or something like that), so Adult Swim changed the logo in the corner to [crappy 80s sitcom network].

Honestly, Hanna Barbera is probably the most lenient when it comes to usage of their properties. My school district uses cartoon mascots instead of bus numbers (I rode the Casper and Tigger bus my whole school career lol). Some Karen of a parent got pissed at the district and reported use of Disney & Hanna Barbera's property and as we all know, Disney comes down with the might of Thor's (copyrighted, trademarked, licensed) hammer and the district immediately got rid of those cartoons. But Hanna Barbera was like, "naw u guys r gud 👍.' /goodguyhanna

[@spookyfirkser]

Stupid. There is *only* more money to be made by getting kids allied with your characters for stuff like bus numbers. The buses themselves aren't making any money by using the characters, they're just using them to divide the children, which will 100% build character allegiance and make those kids more likely to watch the properties and buy merchandise.

Eventually, he decided to go to bed around 3 so he could atleast get a few hours of sleep before work, and I stayed up to finish watching everything. I think I'd decided I'd stay up to watch whatever was first coming on after [as] (knd, I think) and lo and behold, I'm hit with that image and the sound of grating metal, chains, and muffled screams, and right when I was getting un-freaked out about it, the goddamned sun winked at me! Good times, really. Now I get an odd sorta nostalgia when I think about it.

[@lepsonical4763]

I think I can explain why some people think AS is personalized. A lot of those bumpers play real late at night, obviously. And due to this, people are more likely to forget they ever saw the bumper, and most people wont even see it, especially if it's playing on a work or school night. And the fact that most people can't even find these bumpers comes down to the fact that these bumpers aren't being preserved or archived because of how late they play. It's likely that a lot of bumpers you've seen have now become lost media. I've actually got an experience with a bumper before that nobody has seemed to remember. Basically, it was this woman advertising Adult Swim in one of those travel agency advertisement voices. Out of nowhere, however, she pulls out this morbid fun fact about how thousands of people are lost at sea a year, and their skeletons are forever stuck at the bottom of the ocean. Needless to say, that shit kept me up for a good hour or so.

As someone who grew up watching adult swim from 2002 - 2016 it was a return to classic Adult Swim in a way. It was a natural evolution of the show Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job and felt extremely in tune for the time which is why it did so well. Much like when Aqua Teen Hunger Force ended, it just added more jade to the channel and was ultimately what made me stop watching. In the early days it was for the counter culture teens/adults who would enjoy spaceghost, sealab 2021, Aqua teen, and venture bros as well as the teen girls who loved anime and would ogle over Inuyasha and the protagonist from Trigun. Family Guy/Dethklok/Robot Chicken was the peak of Adult Swim and tapered off towards the end with a dead cat bounce from Off the Air and MDE world peace.

"Too Many Cooks" is one of the catchiest songs ever 😂😂😂 It's great

I super remember waking up to "the dawn is your enemy" bump in the middle of the night several times as a kid and thinking I was having some sort of nightmare.

[@JustAPrinnyDood]

As for the Falcon Punch one I might actually recall seeing it as well a couple of years ago maybe around 2017 (Last time I advocately watched television at night was to watch season 3 of Rick and Morty and Legion). Didn't think too much of it just sort of went "Oh, Smash Bros. cool"

[@WilfredCthulu]

For me it was like 2013 lol

[@leftoxfluxinton3388]

@@WilfredCthulu Just so I'm clear, the falcon punch bumper was a viewer mail one where they said "FALCON PAAAAWNCH right through your bumpers" and AS responded with "Angry baby panda kick" right? Or is there another one that I'm missing

18:26 Watching this iceberg video unlocked a core memory -- I absolutely remember seeing FLCL on Adult Swim a long time ago!

[@abundalacaca7013]

I wanted to watch adult swim when I was growing up but I always felt this deep, dark, feeling when I tried to watch anything past 1am. But I did watch DBZ, Naruto, hunger force, hillbilly squid, Eric Andre show, and the one show with the guy from step brothers (not will Farrell)

Fun fact: unedited footage of a bear and this house has people in it was made by a guy named Alan Resnick, the reason why there is a lot of clay imagery in this house has people in it was because he had a series called sculptures clayground. Alan Resnick actually made one of the most well known ARGS called alantutorial, it's not rlly related but just thought I'd tell u

[@iTripleCrownedAmber]

The dawn is your enemy still gives me chills god damn

[@SK832TX]

The pause he made me do to look for the song i didn't know i needed to remember Thank you man.

[@jonathanviesca3381]

Hey @20:44 in the video what’s the song called

[@dumbgeniusesfilmpodcast8879]

I’m glad I’m subscribed you definitely improved

[@Cedarzz]

I'm a bit surprised I don't see anything about Moral Orel on the chart! It was aired on adult swim and idk if a lot of people know about it

[@Ekraelum]

About FLCL, a few years back, Adult Swim helped produce new seasons for it, FLCL Alternative and FLCL Progressive. And they're also making an anime for Junji Ito's Uzumaki which is set to come out in October of 2022. It got delayed because corona.

[@c4yn3]

Idk what it is about adult swim as a kid but the pure feeling of melancholy loneliness is just unexplainable. It reminds me of some of the most beautiful yet difficult parts of my childhood. It just gives me a very specific vibe and gives me a sense of nostalgia.

[@rileykazama3145]

Adult swim bumper music is glorious

[@thepixelglitched]

That Night Mind review is highly recommended. Hell, the entire channel is. Also, great video yourself, Dantavius!

[@jacobsunday6561]

Great video, these icebergs every once in a while would be fun.

[@Canyonradio]

I don’t wanna spoil anything you’re speculating on as a longtime member of the AS family but I’m loving there’s an “iceberg”

[@IcemanJuice]

I was casually watching adult swim with my dad one time and too many cooks came on…. Most unexpected shit we ever saw

[@sollybear33]

Ah yes I remember being 18, stoned as shit and half awake at 4 am on a Saturday while my buddy was passed out on the other couch and off the air came on. I was just like wtf is going on. Good times.

[@HeyMalan]

Love the video man you should do either a Arthur iceberg since that show is ending soon or Franklin’s crimes

[@shrimpgabe3812]

I remember this white nun chick wit pennywise type teeth that were bloody. She started screaming if I remember correctly. That shit… No joke. That shit made me cry at 8

[@maniacalmoonyt]

i actually wanna work for adult swim lmfao, this is awesome dude, takes me back to when i stayed up till 1 am to watch athf, awesome stuff

[@karmah5874]

does anyone remember the really old earth day bump with the guy humping the earth and above him said something like “happy earth day” i’d say around the 2008-2009 era? i’ve been scouring the internet for a decade and could never find it

[@Nooliroto]

3:49 really like that part added allot to the atmosphere and made my hearing experience way better thanks allot

[@Dantavius]

It was not supposed to be that loud

@@Dantavius wasn't even that bad, but made me really upset at the moment

[@jameseclipts9686]

I usually don't get into iceberg videos on KZbin but I been stuck on your channel for like a week watching at least one a day lol

[@CosmikZombie]

I was there when the Dawn Was My Enemy. In all seriousness, I actually do remember the creep factor of TDIYE. It creeps me out to this day. I thought I was crazy but a friend of mine years back once asked "Do you remember that bump on [as] about the SOmething or other is the enemy and the screaming?" and it was a spooky time. Shit still makes my spine tingle.

[@Andre-mp2yi]

I was way to young for watching adult swim when I discovered it. I remember having a particular interest on Aqua Teen Hunger force, but every time I tried to watch adult swim block I ended with fear from technically nothing. Once I remember my mother watching it at 4am and I fkn cried, my mom just laughed, she changed the channel and end of the story. Sadly she abandoned me later that year LMAO

[@CollectedG]

About the last part of the iceberg, I remember there being a bumper where a fake weather report skit was talking about how "The sun can literally kill you". When I first saw it, it was way more eccentric, had an extended part, and the "kill you" part was yelled instead of just regularly spoken. But the last time I saw it, it was cut and the weather guy didn't yell at all. Although that could just be a Mandela effect, I still felt like sharing.

[@azdaph]

comfortable melancholy is a good term for the feeling, it's like going back to your old school and seeing the same teacher who taught you still working there.

[@hondaaccord1399]

"Comfortable melancholy" Ah, you mean depression.

[@MrQandJ]

The comfortable melancholy thing hit so hard I can think of many nights alone watching adult swim growing up and feeling alone but comfortable alone it’s like the same creepy lonely feeling you get when you turn on the ps2

[@medaman15able]

lmao sorry man

@@Dantavius Its seriously not funny. Never do that again, ever. It HURTS.

"If your parents knew all the weird sh*t you watched on the internet..." If my kids knew all the weird sh*t I watched on adult swim! 😆

[@DogFace_3000]

Idk what were gonna win, but my luck goes out to y'all. Edit: i dont watch a whole lot of adult swim, but I love the unedited footage of a bear becuase i love horror. Edit 2: I think the bumper where the moon winks was actually aired once. ( I have no source for this, I've only heard of it.)

[@melissamarieee22]

I now realize I wasn’t having fever dreams they were just the bizarre adult swim episodes playing while little me was half asleep

[@1visualfxguy]

That melancholic feeling you mentioned about adult swim is also how I feel whenever I watch the movie Labyrinth for some reason.
