Adult Swim was genius because right after Cartoon Network they would play King of the Hill. An adult show that was for adults but wasn’t nearly as explicit compared to other shows. Kinda like the Simpsons. It was a perfect transition from kids shows to adult shows because it basically gave Parents an hour to tell their kids to change the channel before Family Guy came on.

As a 90’s kid, this is basically a synopsis of 80% of what I watched from my youth, through my teens, and into adulthood, to today. I gotta say, it was an awesome time to be growing up, and it has definitely shaped my interests and humor. Now all those old shows are so spread out across multiple streaming services that it’s impossible to just turn on the tv and watch such a great selection. Instead you need half a dozen different subscriptions, and you don’t get the same variety that we used to, it’s more a binge style of a couple shows at a time. I hardly ever watch tv anymore, and when I want to watch either a new or old show I usually just find where I can watch it, get the subscription for a month, and binge it before the letting the subscription lapse. I’m kinda surprised you didn’t mention WB but I guess they were much more kid friendly and fit less with the theme you were going for, even though they had stuff like Animaniacs which definitely had adult humor subtly placed where kids wouldn’t get it.

I'm not an expert by any means, but I watched seeningly a lot of 1980's reruns and select early 1990's cartoon. I think Animaniacs belonged to a cultural zeitgeist that was nearly ahead of its time, or more probably, focused / related to people who were not necessarily serviced by other shows. I think of Animaniacs being a precursor to Family Guy in a way that Simpsons in the 1990's was more in line with South Park into the 2000's.

Very informative video! Always loved cartoons growing up (still do even now) and it's interesting to see my entire childhood bunched into one video.

[@PaulGirdlestone]

I was a 90s kid (born 1984) when I was really into toons. I still watch them now and me and my friends quote random lines from stuff like Johnny Bravo and Dexter's Lab so often it is insane. God knows how many times we have just randomly sent voice text saying 'Ommelette du fromage!'.

The adult swim bumps were special because it made it personal. You could imagine whoever you wanted speaking to you through the tv almost mocking you for watching adult swim. It felt like you were joking around with your friend in between shows. In the same sense they were also so laid back that it felt natural whenever they came on in between the chaotic shows that were airing.

[@jacoblipkestudios7621]

Dude this is so cool. So I was just making my cartoon based on Steamboat Willie because of the recent public domain status, and I also recently found your channel, so I subbed and watched a bunch of videos. Well low and behold, when I have KZbin auto playing the next video in the background while I’m animating, this video you made about animation happens to come on. Dude, what an awesome experience that was, thank you!

I'm watching from Australia 🇦🇺 . As well as alot of the major cartoons mentioned in this video , I remember watching " Drawn Together " about 20 something years ago ( in my 20s ) . It was unashamedly ( very ) adult humour . The world could do with it being brought back . ♑️✍️🇸🇯🇦🇺

[@jbmp1390]

Much respect for this one Patrick. Cool to see the original intro from Adult Swim. Most people don't even remember that a lot of it was specifically pool themed when it started.

[@donpietruk1517]

I saw an old interview once with Friz Freling one of the prime creators of the old WB cartoons where he said the cartoons weren't written for kids. They were written for themselves, which is why they were so good. Once I became older I could find things in those cartoons I missed as a kid.

Even as a kid growing up in the '90s I wondered why some of the cartoons I watched seemed to have adult jokes and themes. Ren and Stimpy was targeted to kids but in retrospect it isn't kid friendly. Haha!

@@rustydouglas4134 Well it did come on Nickelodeon along with other Nicktoons like Rugrats. The ads during it were kids commercials I remember.

Ren and Stimpy was originally an adult show that rebranded to kids show "Ren and Stimpy adult party cartoon" It didn't do great so became more "kid friendly " only having 6 or so episodes like that

[@johntracy72]

[@CMStrawbridge]

[@saltyparabolas9561]

Gotta add in some corrections: Adult Swim didn't introduce the US to anime (it definitely introduced us to Cowboy Bebop). There was an already existing, anime-heavy block of time on Cartoon Network called Toonami, which existed since the mid-90's. Toonami also aired many Gundam shows, including Gundam Wing, G-Gundam, and Mobile Suit Gundam. But also aired Sailor Moon, Dragon Ball Z, Tenchi Muyo!, and more. AND on top of that, Toonami had a block late at night called "Midnight Run" where they would air, usually uncensored episodes of Gundam Wing.

This has got to be one of, not just my favorite Patrick Cc vids but one of my favorite KZbin videos I've ever watched. This is a fantastic time capsule. I'd only argue that Toonami introduced most Americans to anime but adult swim popularized it by showing that there were more genres of anime than shonen/shoujo and giant robots. Absolutely great work man!

[@senorpepper3405]

[@aidanmcpavian5638]

I think there's gonna be a pretty sizable shift from TV viewers to KZbin, so it would be cool to see some more adult cartoons use this platform to release shows. Something like athf or similar would easily work as a 10 minute KZbin series.

[@SirBlackReeds]

Would there even be anything that has the balls to show the effects of getting bit by a radioactive black man on KZbin? Apart from the fact that it's Big Tech, a lot of the creatives getting into animation are leftists. That's hyperbole; that's fact: Kate Leth, Raye Rodriguez, Rebecca Sugar, Dana Terrace, Ian Jones-Quartey, Noelle Stevenson, Molly Ostertag, Alex Hirsch, the list goes on.

I find watching cartoons way more appealing and interesting and more hilarious as an adult. Ed Edd Eddy is definitely a reason to go re-watch your childhood. It’s just so much more fun to watch them being older and understanding the formula! 😇

What about Batman? That was definitely a dark cartoon. And for that matter, Superman. My mother liked Batman. We watched it together. She saw me watching it afterschool and then got interested in it. That definitely counted as an adult cartoon. It was dark and dramatic, almost like a dark movie or a cartoon soap opera.

[@Stevenlyons777]

Batman the animated series is goated watched it as a kid and rewatching it now love the dark and gothic vibes

[@BastiatC]

Batman and Hing of the Hill were both critical in the 90s to show that cartoons could tackle adult themes maturely.

As someone who genuinely loves animation as a medium and who tries to explain to people this exact thing, THANK YOU SO MUCH. I'll drink some water to ya.

[@Themindofp]

This is a great doc and a great watch… But I think you’re undermining Toonami, they sometimes showed some risky programming AND they was the ones who brought anime to American audiences. Also, in the 90s: Space Ghost actually started as regular CN programming. I remember around like 97-99 seeing SG, Brak and Mortar in the early morning before the reg shows come on.

My family still has cable mostly because my mom & grandparents like a lot of shows that aren’t on streaming. Since it’s not really in our budget to add more monthly payments to the already pricey cable bill, we don’t have any streaming services. That’s why I’m actually so grateful that Adult Swim still exists. It’s such a nice feeling at night to watch a bunch of my favorite shows that aren’t shown anywhere else on TV. Not only that, but all of the little bumpers and jokes they put in between shows makes the channel feel way less corporate, and like they actually care about their audience. It kinda sucks that all the other channels I grew up with aren’t the best anymore (Nick and CN are lokey garbage now), so I really appreciate that AS has stayed the same for all these years. Thx for the 🔥 vid Pat!

Aww this is awesome! I've been slowly making my way through rewatching all of my old faves. It's fun watching them in order you pick up on overarching storylines and callbacks they make. You should do a video about the connection between Adult Swim & music. They embraced a lot of newer more eccentric sounds and styles like Flylo and Knxwledge who have only recently (past 10 years) been getting their due recognition despite producing for almost 10 years before that. Also the singles program circa 09' and beyond (probably still going on) put people onto a lot of new music too.
