What generation do you consider yourself? Cause that will validate or invalidate your statement.

Baby Blues was on Adult Swim? I remember reading the comics of it, and it doesn't seem like something that I would expect there.
KillerEnigma87
These early days of adult swim changed my view of what was funny.
TurnThisShpAround
Wow no "12 oz Mouse" or "Xavier Renegade Angel"??? https://youtu.be/RJ__1lmPJWY
where2bee2
I forgot about 12oz mouse. That show was great.
ThenWhatHappened
My friend's 12yo daughter did NOT understand me explaining AS at all. "But that show's on hulu" "right but it was on AS on CN" *blank stare*
giraffinator
I remember being a kid and being hugeley confised by these shows
seeleydeborn
the oblongs! but what about Quads??
xxoctavianxx
i looked forward to adult swim every week

No Xavier: Renegade Angel?
MelfsAcidArrow
Freshman year of college when this premiered. Kept me company on Friday nights.

Zorak is my spirit-insect.

My parents had MTV... Uhhhhhhhhhh sure.

No undergrads?
TheFatherMind
Drawn together was one of the best cartoons ever

Where is super milk chan?
LathiArcanus
Out getting sushi or something.

I miss perfect hair forever, mxc and home movies. They were my jaaaam
SmokyDoggg
LucianoIntorno
Yeah I tried too. It was like the Ghostbusters remake. You can't just change everyone's gender and expect it to be a hit. Nothing funny.

Harvey's boss, with the eyepatch, was voiced by Stephen Colbert. "HAHA. Dangly Parts."

MENTOK! THE MIIIIND TAKER!!!
Fengor
It's missing alot of what the original show had, the most noticeable being the removal of all the Hannah-Barbera characters. (1/2)
Fengor
Like it comes close a few times to that manic insanity of the original, but constantly pulls back to be serious and it's frustrating (2/2)
SmokyDoggg
Yeah I think the classic Hanna Barbera characters and the courtroom setting is what I miss the most.It doesn't hold a candle to the original
PierreEscargeaux
I remember watching these shows (especially Space Ghost) years before 2001 though. What did it used to be?
LathiArcanus
Space Ghost CtC was one of their earlier shows & aired years before the AS block was a thing. Still late at night, just no co-programming.
Will0099
I miss Harvey bird man
weidermeijer
On Hulu.
mumbojumbo29
U forgot undergrads and quads
CyclopticColleague
Don't forget the music. Adult Swim has soundtracked 20 years of my life.
where2bee2
Wasn't perfect hair forever on AS? I don't remember, but I loved that show
pomdor
Yes it was! (Where else could Perfect Hair Forever possibly have been? TBS ain't gonna air that!)
where2bee2
Also, Lucy daughter of the devil?
pomdor
Wish that show had gone on longer.
rationalremission
You posted The Oblongs, but you didn't mention them. Love that show
pomdor
Will Ferrell before he was (well, while on the cusp of becoming) famous.
itsthevoiceman
I think that role fit him like a glove.
superkeil
His turn on the Oblings was the only Will Ferrell project i ever really liked
MadCat221
I think it's time we blow this scene,

3, 2, 1, let's jam!

Get everybody and the stuff together,
ArgonSpark
First anime I ever saw was Trigun on adult swim
Hashbrown123
Outlaw Star for me
MoopsyLD
for many it was, yu yu hakusho, inuyasha, trigun, outlaw star, cowboy bebop, ghost in the shell, more and such amazing shows.
researchonyourown
Mine was Yu Yu Hakusho. Still remember the exact episode and how much I talked about it till the next week.
WeylandYutaniCorp
My first was Vampire Hunter D... On VHS... When it first came out. Dammit I'm old.
SmokyDoggg
Moral Orel is one of the most horrible, most repugnant things I've ever seen on TV. It turns a light to
SmokyDoggg
Conservative life in America. The hypocrisy,the self-righteousness... And it's all a little too fucking real
N0ticeablyFAT
Not conservative, evangelical. As mentioned below, conservative would just be KOTH. And yeah, while my childhood wasn't exactly that, it...
N0ticeablyFAT
...hit way too close to home to even be funny sometimes. On the whole entertaining though, and it did introduce me to The Mountain Goats.
gorillaClutch
I fucking love how awful this show is. The episode with the mom and the dildo drove a friend of mine to a fit of laughter and a nosebleed
CasinoV
Now I remember the episode of this show they are no longer allowed to air on TV.
Wispless
Isn't that just king of the hill?
SmokyDoggg
King Of The Hill is never that mean-spirited. It pokes gentle fun and is more tactful. Though, yeah, turning a blind eye to your friend's
SmokyDoggg
cheating wife is also pretty fucked up.
onefukkedduck
Missing some Space Ghost and you left out Sealab you SOB shame on you
shiviro
Loved the Sealab intro song. Very catchy.
SuperfluousMeh
Space Coast was my favorite. I don't know why but my favorite episode was when he just followed a bug the whole time. That was the gag.
EmptyHouseBurglar
Same. Heard the danger doom space ghost album? Recommended.

I know it all to well

Loved ATHF
futureramenllamadingdong
*Love
SilentSlacker
I guess I haven't seen it in ages. Don't recognize that episode at all.
MothMonsterMan
It also depends on what version it was. Aqua Unit Patrol Squad 1, Aqua Something You Know Whatever, Aqua TV Show Show, and ATHF: Forever.
MothMonsterMan
It only ended in 2015. The name changes fucked with people since it wasn't always labeled ATHF
SilentSlacker
Wow. I had no idea about all the others. Only watched the original I guess.
MothMonsterMan
ATHF was 7 seasons then they changed the name every season for 4 more seasons iirc. Some gems in them, but not as many as the first 7
SuperfluousMeh
I can mimic meatwad's voice!! In happier times I would drive my former sibling crazy.
SuperfluousMeh
I need some Stupid humor, this post was perfectly timed. Aqua Teen Hunger Force and Space Ghost Coast to Coast where my two stupid go to's
meltedfaceguy
Did you ever see the movie? Friggin incredible. Heres the opening part with a song by the band Mastodon https://youtu.be/loqYlYqtsmY
Dandoch1080
That movie was a roller coaster from start to finish. At no point did I know what was going to happen next. So good.
SmokyDoggg
I don't understand why Boondocks gets overlooked so much. One of the most clever,hilarious shows I've seen
v
Gestalt7
I deeply regret that we've lost so many performers from The Boondocks because I would LOVE to see McGruder's take on the last few years.
smallpoxrandolph
Shit color of ruckus, booty warrior are some of the funniest things of that decade. Show was genius.
itsthevoiceman
The fact that they got Sam Jackson and Charlie Murphy to play the criminal white guys was awesome.
IusallypoopwhileImonhere
I’ll be honest a lot of white people are afraid to admit it because of some accusations of appropriation
dolphinbellybutton
Wasn’t the OP just covering the original Adult Swim lineup? (Btw Boondocks was and is one of the best)
graehall
The Itis episode is up there as a top 10 cartoon episode of anything ever of all time. The show was great, that episode was legendary.
graehall
The way the whole thing was a scam by the rich white conservative guy - the plot was brutal - & the story was awesome.
SmokyDoggg
Yep. All too real, just like I like it. And then they throw in Ed Jr. and Gin Rummy to lighten the mood

LordofSadFace
I recently rewatched the Marthin Luther King episode and couldnt agree more with that ending
ImTheProfessor
You going to canada too huh.
ClumsyLeftistWhoDropsThings
In my opinion: it focused too much on Riley and Granddad. Huey episodes were always the best episodes
DontusetheMword
Ya he kinda fell off in season two. It's like they ran out of material for him or something
Larktonguesinadicecup
Race is tough. That's all.
SmokyDoggg
McGruder took an honest look at it all to open up a dialogue, and parodied some of the uglier aspects, things nobody wants to talk about.
SmokyDoggg
It's uncomfortable because sometimes dialogue needs to be, sometimes you need to talk about things you're not comfortable talking about.
SmokyDoggg
And that's something you don't see on TV very often. We're never going to get a deeper understanding of complex issues if we're shielded.
Larktonguesinadicecup
I agree but television and especially cartoons are primarily entertainment and entirely voluntary. Only people who specifically find those
THEREDHO0D
I think cause it’s so clean looking like whenever I think of adult swim I think of low budget shows with a lot of heart
THEREDHO0D
Though I’m a fan of black dynamite
SmokyDoggg
I'm the opposite. I was immediately attracted by the beautiful artwork and was actually initially turned off by R&M's art but I got over it
SmokyDoggg
South Park was another show that I didn't think much of until this girl showed me a few episodes in 1999. I think it's because I grew up
SmokyDoggg
watching Disney movies like the Lion King and high quality WB classic animation with orchestrated soundtracks, and Batman TAS. I had high
SmokyDoggg
expectations! So to this day it's hard for me to get into shows with ugly artwork, like Bob's Burgers, but I eventually become a fan.
