ranking every adult swim show ever made! (part 1/retrospective)

[@JayLatne]

lets try this one last time shall we? sry for the reupload you know how youtube gets lol, first off i wanna thank everyone ehos supported the channel over the past couple months, this videow as supposed to be like 25 min tops inbetween a longer video but as u can probably see, this shit spiralled out of control lmao, but i hope you all like it and thank you so much for joining me on this, lemme know if you want a vol.1 and etc etc, Support me on PATREON ►: www.patreon.com/JayLatne Follow me on Twitter ► twitter.com/Jay_latne

[@LumberjackMC]

Yo could you do a vid on Ed Edd n Eddy? An Australian fan recently uploaded a fan made sequel that's actually fire, he's been working on it for 3-4 years now and I think this show needs a retrospective POV. Especially from you, the GOAT.

[@MacenW]

Where are you bruv

[@thedogwithrabbitears]

My brain had a mental reset when I saw your profile picture in my recommendations, i use that picture on steam and I used to use the same picture on discord

[@FusionDeveloper]

Master Shake and Home Movies were fantastic.

[@kerplunkk1234]

Dude I revisit this video a lot I hope u haven't abandoned the project the video was phenomenal and I love your delivery don't let the strikes stop you from bangin out righteous content

[@MordredArkwright]

Aqua Teen Hunger Force is a work of art that belongs in the Louvre

[@cyberdolliee]

indubitably

[@metalandmagic1424]

Bro, I'm so sorry if the previous upload got a strike. This retrospective started with a god damn bang, and I can't wait for part 2, regardless of the views now, I'm definitely a supporter

[@muganimate]

Real shame about the reupload, I hope the video still does well though!

[@bbqreal]

Holy shit didn't expect to see you here

[@xandersanchez1365]

Get out!

[@4gillman]

Saw this video when it first dropped. Still hyped for part 2. Not rushing you, bro. I'm okay waiting, and I'll continue to be hyped. You got this, bro

[@lillowholland4868]

This video was so well put together, man! Lots of video essays like these tend to summarize shows, but you actually conveyed how you felt about each show. It really does have the perfect adult swim vibe to it, and even if this video never has a follow-up, I’ll be perfectly content rewatching this. Thank you for sharing your work on the internet!

[@slim_streams]

Here to support in hopes of a part 2. Don't let them keep you down!

[@thestockimagequeen]

the aqua teen theme is such an earworm lmao I’m glad you feel the same also the frylock and meatwad dynamic is goated, my favorite part of the show

[@jbleichman]

Funny little epilogue to Home Movies… in the second-to-last episode of the Cartoon Network series _Clarence,_ “Video Store”, we see what’s heavily implied to be a grown up version of Brendan running the store.

[@Sentay0]

Actually incredible, totally captured the feel of Adult Swim. Good beats, dumb jokes, and then right as comfortable someone accidentally says something really profound and you end up feeling kinda empty for a while. I miss those days staying up at like 1-2am not doing shit, stressing about school, friends, life; seeing the moon go up and down as the bumpers flipped in and out. Fuck dude.

[@modernmusic52]

i remember being up like. way too early before school and mtv would still be airing music videos

[@lolshellshocklol]

It’s been a year daddy

[@MrJed454]

You’ve earned yourself a sub dude. The emotion you’ve showed is an example of how much these things (cartoons and video making) mean to you. It feels genuine and heartfelt as you take a trip down memory lane, which I can’t argue, everybody has done at some point, especially when it come to Cartoon Network. I grew up with Cartoon Network and adult swim, and those feelings you’ve shown are most I can relate to. I hope you keep making videos for us, you’ve been a huge friend to us all!

[@FlareonGames]

Adam Reid is amazing… dude just comes in, watches dinosaurs for 4 dollars an hour, then gets drunk and somehow Archer just happens…

[@Trumpet007]

This video is just so good. Not only did you talk about the shows. But the history of Adult Swim as a whole! Amazing editing and great flow to the whole video. Going to keep hoping for more 🙏

[@imifux3]

commenting after my 15th rewatch since the reupload: please come back to this in the future !!! yr content is NUTS

[@isamovies1192]

Really incredible video man, rarely am I so captivated and entertained by a video like this. The whole thing felt real and passionate, and I somehow came to love adult swim even more than I already did. Your editing and music choices were simply excellent, would love to see a part 2 if you're feeling up to it. You sir just gained a subscriber

[@SadTown99]

I see this video is kinda old now, but it’s my first watch from this channel & I really dig the laid back tone of it all.. No random gimmicks, schizo speedrun editing, or epileptic meme transitions… Reminds me of just kicking back with a good friend and discussing nostalgic media. 👏😎 Keep doing your thing dude, content like this shows us the organic vibes this platform was originally built from is still alive in some places 🙏

[@josephhanicak7922]

The original upload was unironically one of the last things my girlfriend and I watched together before the relationship suddenly ended. I remember this video fondly, yet also feel immense sadness at the correlation it has with her. Almost an entire month since then and it still doesn't quite feel real. Still hurts, although not nearly as much as it used to. It's strange how unassuming little KZbin videos can so distinctly mark points in your own history like this.

[@JayLatne]

I feel that exact same way about a lot of things, movies. songs, even small parts of larger things like places in a game or in real life, just remind me of certain events that happen at the same time. sorry to hear that but things gets better and I hope that in the future those feelings help you create or do something cool atleast that's what I do with those memories

[@dianamarcu8939]

i hope theres gonna be a second part, this was phenomenal. the ending made me emotional ngl. i dont rly comment on youtube videos but i found you through this and i think you're doing amazing things. keep going with your art AND your life dude (also amazing music choices i love cullah)

[@rustywilson7966]

Sealab 2021 is my all-time favorite, there's something magical about the show's whole atmosphere underneath all the absurdity when you're watching it during the 12-3AM hours.

[@osamabindiesel3389]

I’m legit so glad I was born in ‘94 to have the childhood experience of sneaking around my parents on school nights to watch Adult Swim. This channel block was a huge part into shaping my tastes in music, humor, animation, shows, art and the avant-garde. Im sure kids growing up today are having even more unique media/culture that will define them as adults, but man, the Adult Swim golden era is something I won’t ever give up. Also subbed to the channel because I seen a lot of good stuff on here and I gotta support my zoomer compas 🤙🤙

[@Mamimigaming]

Latinx

[@realDannyBoi111]

I was like "wait a minute didn't I watch this already?" before seeing in the comments that it got taken down. Sorry to hear that ur videos are amazing and i can't wait for part 2

[@Debaser1990]

Hey man, love finding smaller long form content channels like this. You're doing a great job, and I look forward to seeing more of your stuff. Cheers!

[@MikeJMcAllister]

I actually watched Home Movies on UPN and loved it. I was so pissed they canceled it. The whole reason I watched AS the night it launched was I saw they were airing Home Movies. Its still one of my favorites.

[@zxm2501w]

Its new years eve, I am alone. And I clocked out from work at around 10:30. And as the midnight rolled around; for no reason I started to think about adult swim and the old days. This is the second video of yours that I have watched tonight. And really...all I can say is: Thank you. Oh, and also, your music choices slap!

[@JayLatne]

happy new years and thank you, I hope 2024 is a lot better for everyone and I really appreciate your support. Adult Swim is also always rummaging around in the background of my mind so I get it lol

[@MacenW]

​@@JayLatneis part 2 shelved?

[@sandpope2977]

Please for the love of god continue this series this is amazing.

[@aspenEarthmover]

this is like the one video I didnt know I needed but am now super invested in. Also holy hell based background music choices

[@ratgirk]

came from your moral orel video and i'm so happy you're still making videos man. keep it up

[@emm437]

bro, you deserve more subscribers, your research is delightfull, the way you tell stuff to be understandable for everyone is genious. Keep on grinding bc i feel you will be bigger on youtube than you expect. Thank you for these absolute bangers of videos :)

[@tawnypelt69420]

that home movies segment was so fucking beautiful dude

[@bambidash9076]

Please continue making videos like these! I’m in love with this content and format. Great job :-)

[@cannonballking7]

Bummer. Oh well, Adult Swim was famous for it's reruns so it only makes sense that the same would be true for the retrospective. Keep up the great work, and have lovely day.

[@BIGBODYDARWIN]

Your editing is so fantastic. Love your videos man, can’t wait to see more

[@vutalol]

Dude this channel is incredible all your video essays have been awesome, both regular show and moral orel are shows that i kinda passed by and never watched so im excited to watch them and thats thanks to you

[@kamalrifka6779]

Bro this was awesome I CANNOT WAIT for part 2!!!

[@alyssab7744]

Gosh I would LOVE to see your review of Venture bros. It is my absolute favorite show ever, moral orel and metalocalypse come close but there's just something so special about venture bros

[@forkp5363]

feels like a family guy episode with all the memes being like cutaway jokes

[@Itinkoi]

I'm surprised no one is mentioning that the regular show video is gone, I loved that video :(

[@TrashsyReal]

Dawg when was it taken down, I was just about to re watch it

[@faithevers6899]

ugh home movies was one of my dads faves so i’d watch it all the time as a kid and it’s so under the radar but it’s so funny it makes me sad it’s not more well known

[@michelvillanueva1938]

I stumbled across your regular show video expecting it to be a fun little video essay about a show i loved to watch growing up, but i quickly realized that it is a lot more than that. I realized that it's a piece of art overflowing with passion and creativity. This is the third video of yours that i have watched and each time i watch one the feeling of that passion and creativity rubs off onto me and i can't thank you enough for that. I thought i found my passion when i was younger but once i graduated and started working in the feeld i realized that i hadn't. Ive been just moving through the motions since then working at a job i enjoy but im definitely not passionate about it. Ive been afraid to go back to school because traditional schooling and me dont mix, it honestly just makes me depressed and i also just don't know what i would even want to study. That's why i can't thank you enough for making these pieces of art. Even though i still don't know what i want to do, just seeing your work let's me know that knce i do finally figure out what i want, I'll be able to put just as much passion into it as you do. You truly have something very special and i hope you keep doing things that you feel this passionate about (in a healthy way of course haha). I can tell that whatever you choose to do as long as you are passionate about it and want to do it you will succeed.

[@StrawHatCowboyy]

Man I live for these videos. So good to see the shows that don’t get any attention finally getting some love!

[@jacksonw453]

Absolutely love this video, I'd love to see another part. I love the personal touch you give each show. Most of these ranking videos feel like it just another video but I can really feel the passion here. Keep doing what makes you feel alive

[@nephilimritual-band]

i’m so glad you made this video. i’ve never related to a video harder man. great editing and everything.

[@temerodiavolo470]

i cant wait for part 2 in 2026!

[@Gregortheunderlander]

criminally underviewed video. I especially love the home movies part. that part where they could see the show flop in real time had me rolling.

[@clavius0131]

Please continue! It’s refreshing to see someone else who likes Adult Swim so much these days! Very well done :)

[@chibunerl4057]

Imma watch this again, this a crazy good video

[@VLOGbros1]

Bro really used the Arthur flashback sound during the Aqua Teen segment. A man of true class.

[@bodhibballin]

Sorry that you've had to reupload so many videos due to youtube shenanigans but genuinely dude, you're a great content creator, entertainment, and source of information because man these videos are just amazing. You're one of my favorite youtubers now next to emplemon, cosmonaut variety hour, the act man, and others but you stand on your own with your own charm and sense of humor and your creativity of how you set your scripts and the editing of your videos. Stay real g

[@jackcharlotte25]

It's funny you brought up Better Call Saul in relation to Harvey Birdman, because there's actually a slight connection between the two shows. Michael McKean, who played Chuck on Saul, voiced Harvey's rival Spyro in the earlier episodes of the series, before that role on the show was more or less filled by Reducto for the rest of the series.

[@dalegribble420]

the bumper with aquaman dancing in front of a drive-thru has lived rent free in my head for several decades now. really hope to see this series continue, adult swim was about 80% of my childhood (with the other 20% being anime on toonami and videogames).

[@quack0i991]

REALLY big fan of this video! Will be here for EVERY SUBSEQUENT PART

[@ringer1324]

Oh man sucks about the copyright situation. Happy you were able to Reupload it

[@Coolestdogever360]

I always love it when videos are uploaded onto my mostly freakin' sweet birthday of mine, always appreciate that and always will.

[@kayavilla636]

As somebody with tv for parents, it’s nice being able to watch your videos, keep up the good work.

[@clootuscleetus4219]

Me and you seem to have a very similar childhood. I grew up on cartoon network and shit, and the first time I ever saw Adult Swim was when I was like 7-8 in a Hotel Room when I was on a road trip with my mom. Did exactly what you described. Was watching Gumball or some shit like that, went to sleep and woke up to Sealab 2021 and Captain Murphy's crazy antics. Adult Swim and the internet in the late 2000s- early 2010s had a huge influence on me. Me and my dad both have a shared love for Retro shit. Me and him still to this day will sit in the living room bingewatching some adult swim doing dabs all night and then fall asleep on the couch. I love your content, and you're just a very relatable person to me. Keep working at it, and you'll go places. 40k subs is gonna turn into 400k faster than you think.

[@In_Silico]

i always thought coach mcgirk was maybe an ex of brendens mom and maybe neither of them knew if brenden was his son, or maybe he was kicked out for being drunk or something and because of something like that he had to find a way to connect w his possible son, or maybe found out about sheila after starting this job and them becoming friends and that the universe kind of brought them back together or something

[@shaphier7057]

hey man, I don't know if you will read this. But I found your channel recently, and I'm adoring all the content that you put out. Unironically your content has given me the passion to actually try making content again, your work just feels like its filled with passion for what you do and its just really inspiring. Can't wait to keep watching whatever it is that you continue to put out.

[@mortmortington240]

so happy this got suggested adult swim is usually just known as rick and morty channel from what ive seen but its got a bunch of other fantastic shows, home movies has always been one of my favorite shows of all time

[@em12bun]

hope you’ll keep working on this series! but the yt algorithm frustration has to be discouraging :( just know so many of us would love to see this series continue ❤

[@JayLatne]

ty it is a bit discouraging but THE SHOW WILL GO ON!! even If it means it will take a bit of kicking and dragging, new part should be soonish

[@trevmizer9784]

@@JayLatne so that was a lie

[@nesskeaton]

Space Ghost: Coast to Coast literally shaped my sense of humor. I'm 37. We first got cable around '95, and my mom loved to watch those old HB cartoons on CN, so I would more often than not catch Space Ghost: Coast to Coast while it was on TV. I watched adult swim in the beginning, and I still constantly think about the old pool bumpers and how much I loved them. I constantly watch my old AS favorites, and I genuinely think that The Venture Brothers is one of the greatest tv shows ever created. Adult Swim means so much to me, and I'm so happy people younger than me love it as much as I do.

[@jg5004]

Still waiting on part 2!

[@amypenguin4988]

I decided to watch this because I'm on a space ghost coast to coast kick myself and was a bit disappointed on how Andy Merrill was only mentioned as a footnote in the shows production . He was the guy who put together the shows pilot in the closet by himself like you mentioned and he's widely regraded as one the shows uncredited co-creators alongside his work voicing brak and being one of the show's head writers.

[@samschultz9334]

This is great! I really hope you make a part 2, even if it takes a while. It'll be worth the wait to hear your thoughts on Venture Bros and some other favorites. Thanks for the Home Movies love too! I feel similarly about its messages yet none of my friends really get the show when I share it with them

[@buzinessdog]

fantastic editing I love these big videos of yours

[@coffinrodriguez3150]

You did a great job with this video dude. That edit about missing your mom hit home.

[@blingmobile]

i was so scared that home movies would be glazed over like its a footnote like it is in most adult swim retrospectives, but instead i got to cry about my favorite show again lets fucking GOOOOOOOO

[@IHJello]

I think your nostalgia for Moral Oral boosts it higher than it should be but that's ok bc you still see the beauty in Home Movies. Sure there's kids but there's tons of adults in the show too. Therefore it captures everyone's feelings in the late 90s early 2000s. I was 11 when I watched this show and the kids were hilarious, but in 2024 you see how it nails EVERYONES feelings at the time.

[@iammadl2149]

This series deserves justice! AS was integral to my childhood the bums scared the shit out off me when I was little

[@kingchuckfinley]

After these you should consider ranking all of the adult swim one off specials and/or pilots. There’s so many gems, and so many duds. Would be cool to shear your reaction to those.

[@arthurshepley7668]

I'm here and waiting for part 2! This a video series i didn't know i needed!

[@unwavery]

Home Movies is one of my favorite cartoons ever. I agree with you, the palpable melancholy of these latchkey kids putting up with the desperate adults in their lives (except Jason, who's parents and classroom life is entirely absent from the show) really is a wild territory for a show when "helicopter" parenting was the incoming trend in society at large makes it a truly unique gen-x, early millenial concept that no one could approach today. A real classic imho that ended at the perfect time before it got stale.

[@cashnelson2306]

Can't believe you didn't mention Sealab 2021's theme song at all. It's like the best TV theme song ever I swear to god, honestly I think I'd like that 6/10 show a lot more if it didn't have such a relentless banger 13/10 theme song getting my expectations up
