Special Presentation: Adult Swim Moments of 2001 & 2003

[rendox]

I started watching adult swim when it was only on thursdays and saturdays those were the days. Then they started everyday, but in the beginning they showed big o and full metal so it was cool. Then "comedy shows" came along and now we have the sunday night Fox shows being advertised as edgy "adult swim". How times have changed.

[VerticalhorizonXL]

The '90s were really good, the '2000s started off well until in 2004 the economy was turning shittier and corporations started buying out other companies and making them shittier and only about money. This is why the '2010s suck, nothing is good on TV anymore and the media is complete bullshit now.

[brandeezy108]

where is that pool anyway? that thing should be a national landmark!

[Kartoonkid95]

LOL ZOIDBERG

[XxSpRiTeZzxX]

-_-Well played Adult swim.You sold out and you ruined the good name of your own programming.You ruined saturday's and sunday's with anime.You ruined your bumpers and your image.How do you live with yourself?All I have to say is well played mother fucker well played.-_-

[ILOVEHIPPIEFLIPS]

they should bring back mission hill it still grabs my attention after watching the same episodes 5 times over



[princeeverlove]

I miss the GoldenAge of cartoons...NOW we have SuckToon Network, AdultFem, and all the other former Turner Broadcasting shows gone horribly wrong. No wonder we all have to BUY our memories on DVD 'cause cable bites now. "Drama", "Politically Sensitive" shows...

[WWSkaterClone]

I wish Futurama was still on Adult Swim. :/

[fmdof]

shit i used to have people over at my house before Adult Swim started just for some Space Ghost Coast to coast on friday nights. Then adult swim came, and sundays were forever changed.

[amigazzzzz]

when i was about 5 or 6 something, i tried to watch this show before. but i couldn't finish it till the end, i would be very sleepy! >.< what's it all about?:) haha.

[bjb32278]

R.I.P [AS] 9-2-2001-12-31-2006

[YukinaHyuga15]

I remember when they first came out I was like 8 or 9 and my mom used to get mad at me for watching it lol if it wasn't for Adult Swim and Toonami i would not know about anime nor would i like it........why can't adult swim go back to the way they used to be now days it seems like they don't care and some of their shows suck

[moron726]

song?

[moron726]

the good days of as as is ok today but better back then

[Gavinjohnston1]

@moron726 what u just said made no sense please repeat

[RevolutionRapter5000]

Adult Swim is better then than it is now.I watched the block since I was 9,when it first began.Now I only watch Adult Swim for The Oblongs,American Dad(If I missed the FOX one),ATHF and The Boondocks.They don't show anime except late Saturday early Sunday morning.

[TheLizzard0]

I didn't really care for the 2003 bumpers.

[moron726]

that will begin in ten seconds thing did you make that its awesome and i remember watching these bumpes at the age of 3 they should use all the bumps old and new

[Thecutemeanpup]

ive watched AS since i was a toddler! And one time i had a dream of it but ive been a fan since i was a toddler!

[CatmanfromPA]

It makes you just almost want to cry to see as what they did to the [ADULT SWIM]. I for one am disgusted for what they did. Have they no shame at all, they distroyed the best shows to put on garbage that is now not even worth watching. I Miss the old years when Futurama was on as well as the when the anime first started.Also what was the purpose of makeing all of those Epi.of BLEACH of they were not going to complete them to the very end. What kind of peolpe do run the[ADULT SWIM]? Ass'as to me.

[eruption257]

1: They don't show Futurama anymore because Comedy Central bought the rights. Not their fault.

2: No one watches Bleach. Or likes it. Therefore, no more Bleach. It happenes to (literally) all of their animes.

[saythanx]

at :30 seconds who does the beat? i want to get that song

[eruption257]

Dust Devil - "D-Code"

[GeneralRazor]

man i remember staying up late just to watch adult swim, then my mom came in and when she left the tv came right back on

[icecreamman199]

i miss misson hill

[micromanty1]

umm adult swim got no more bumpers

[MrTech991]

All i remember is the 2006 ones from when i was 7

[CBaker6494]

Hey, I started watching Adult Swim when I was 6 years old, and that's was when Adult Swim was my favorite thing to watch because of "Futurama", "Home Movies", "Harvey Birdman", "Sealab 2021", etc. Now, I'm 15 years old and I still like to watch Adult Swim, but only because of "King of the Hill", "Family Guy", "Robot Chicken", "Squidbillies", "American Dad",etc. So, unlike everyone else, I still like the old shows and bumpers better than the new shows and bumpers.

[angelgirl1992]

I miss the old school bumpers. Especially the ones with the old people in the pool.

[youngmav11]

Looking at where [adult swim] is today and where it was before, its like they don't care anymore. Those first aid manual bumps were original, funny, and well-thought out. Nowadays, the best they can do is a black screen and white letters. The shows and the bumps are what made [as] good back in the day. Now their programming sucks ass and their simplictic packaging has cost them my viewership. (With the exception of the Bleach hour on Saturdays.)

[Ashelonimacaroni]

I agree with you!!!

[Mrgamerboy2009]

I miss all thos shows espesicaly baby blues

[MaliciousMillz]

lol at 1:47-1:57

xD

[MaliciousMillz]

Also 3:31-3:41 xD

Phil and Birdman!

[warmachine021]

I wish they would do a classic adult swim block (with all the bumps) like fridays at 2 am

[saveus2132]

@warmachine021 they did like 2 years ago.

[bryguy95]

I expected Bender to just steal the person's cash and go.

[LCsaint22]

ah yes, the golden age of adult swim... its nothing like it used to be.

[CartoonAntics]

Psh...I remember seeing the swimming bumpers when I was a kid...those bastards at Adult Swim tricked me into thinking that time block would be boring. XD

[SLiMMYHOTDOG]

omg fuckkk yehhhhhhhh!!!! AS FTW

[Joaquin546]

the hidden truce about is that all the staff is replaced by gay people that explains the horrible shows

[D3VON3510]

damn ii miss those dayz

[iLuvZaysoeazy4792]

yah, i do miss that.

[krazysmurf911]

me too..

[mikehartwickyahoocom]

destroy adult swim!!!

[allzick]

did u guys know that the end of a adult swim show it shows u a skull that says on the teeth CARTOON NETWORK

[crashsmash01]

i think i may know why

first off if you remember SGCTC then when SGCTC ended they use to have cartoon network logos now when the SGCTC AQUA TEEN HUNGER FORCE episode aired at the end was the first showing of the skull now adult swim was ouned by AOL back then when time warer brought adult swim they made the skull HOWEVER adult swim is still cartoon network because of SGCTC and some shows and legal stuff SKULLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL­LLLLL XD LOL

[victorjoichironishi]

Shit man, SHIT! I LOVE [Adult Swim], and it was taken off of the air in Brazil... Fuck,

[joi124]

I miss this SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much way better than now !

[ultimatemeatwad]

The older shows were better, all of these new anime shows ruin it. The classic anime wasn't all that bad though. Old School Fridays!

[bauer3924]

adult swim isnt as good as it used to be. i miss futurama, and i cant stand all these new shows.

[man34dog56]

futurama still on a different show

[eruption257]

It's on Comedy Central now.

[jonnyveliky]

My favorite one from the January 2-mid May 2003 Adult Swim bump is the one where Dr. Zoidberg was drowning, and it later showed that he was being cooked by some giant alien chef's pot.

Now that's some sweet Matt Greoning-style irony. ROFL! XD

[CatmanfromPA]

These moments from the [ADULT SWIM] are the best and were the prime years from when they aired. As of now, the [ADULT SWIM] is not even worth watching any more. As i said, it is a damn good thing that i thought ahead and recorded everything on video tapes from when the [ADULT SWIM] first aired it back in 1998. Anime and all, because you will never see them on tv again. MY motto is IT PAYS TO RECORD.

[kycen321]

i'm pretty sure adult swim aired on spetember 2 2001? correct me if i'm wrong thanks

[Jurassicparkz08]

When did they stop using the swimming thing.. I guess I haven't seen adult swim for a long time.

[joyahennessy]

you need to drink some bleach

[AlucardOVA666]

They air these bumps on Friday nights since Adult Swim knows how much we love the old school Adult Swim.

[Ryan123497]

Its funny old school, and it's only been 7 years. Why was change necessary? Oh maybe for assy mcgee dumb fucks

[rafth1]

hey what happened to that old cyborg show when his color is half red half blue

[joyahennessy]

it got lost in your hut bowl

[rafth1]

in my what?

[haillexi]

Kikaider? Yea that show kicked ass, I wish they would bring it back.

[MSCRDX]

Hey man at least you still have it. In australia we LOST ADULT SWIM! now its just a little block on the comedy channel where they rape our memories every tuesday (is it still tuesday?) with their brand of non-funny "humour". My little heart was nearly broken when they switched to the less strange bumpers but when we lost it all together... things got bleak :( fuck you whoever is responsible

[YellowTexasRose90]

Love these , good times , good times.

[UndineStorm]

I remember one where Aqua Man walks into a city at night and stops in the middle of the road to shake his butt to some techno music. That was hilarious. Wish I could find that one.

[ceelopwv]

clasic, I love adult swim of old and of new, gotaa apprciate changes without them we wouldnt have AS to start with

[t0d51]

i forgot about that 2003 stuff

[Huff9542]

im glad adult swim is doing the old school nights on friday so i can see all the old shows i never got 2 see. the only thing i dont like about adult swim is the saturday anime thing. i can deal without that...

[forsaken305]

these were good times, this is what made my day lol...

the only show i didn't like on there was harvey birdman, kinda retarded

[Lolololololololipope]

what song plays at the start? Sounds like a ripoff of Paul Simons "Can't Run But"

[DeUcEoVsPaDeZ]

4gotten sequence in 2001 Era: "NO DIVING IN AN EMPTY POOL.....NOO DIVING......

[Jeremyn97541]

Yeah there was a few others forgotten as well. I'm glad they had old school night 2 nights ago :-) They should of included the safety manuals as well

[mksontag]

CatsmanfromPA, Adult Swim didn't start in 1998. It started in 2001.

[CatmanfromPA]

the [ADULT SWIM] will never be the same as it was back then. it just gets worse by time.

[sexyjulie17]

i dont care

[Ryan123497]

what about 02?

[Ryan123497]

2001 wasnt that long ago, and it was when they had the best shows, gundam 0080, 0083, tenchi muyo, cowboy bebop. Cant it be restored?

[rekhjerh]

Adult Swim started in '98? What did the clips from '98 look like?

[Fezandsword]

YES

[EvanOfEngland]

You're missing my favorite one from the 2001 era! The one where they say 'No tea parties!'

[CatsmanfromPA]

i ha recorded everything and i mean everything anime and all since the [ADULT SWIM] first started back in 1998. And well i have a good 50 to 55 6 hour tape's of the [ADULT SWIM] but i will say that they sure gone down hill after about 6 or 7 year's. And now it is not even worth watching any more.

[dooney13]

yea those were the good ole days  and remeber how on saturdays thaey would show a bunch o anime

NO NOT ANY MORE! LETS WATCH BULL SHIT ANIME!!!

[pretearking]

Hey, Dooney13! Do you think you can take the time and list the anime you classify as "bullsh!t?"

[xB14Kx]

those were from 2001-03?

it must be the all the weed...

it seems like yesterday i was watching those commercials

[SmashBrosfreak2020]

ADULT SWIM ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[laurenhooba]

The AS bumpers from 2001 to 2002 are my favorites. Been watching Adult Swim since 2002.

[djairman]

You forgot from the '01 season of AS the "No tea parties" bumper...

[warmachine021]

I love the old adult swim day only on sundays, every show from the first to the last was great

[rlissner]

I miss this too.

Does anyone know who did the music?

[rlissner]

I miss this too.

Does anyone know who did the music?

[sailorsillystars]

[cherryvanilla101]

xDDD

adult swim RULES!!!

[lollipops2005]

i remeber all of this i was 18

[tommycat1313]

I always likes these more than the current lot. White text on black is getting a bit played.

[Zo0R0ck]

omg i remember this i was six

[Julietheegreat]

holy fuck i remember!

=D

[countrygirlbabe2]

omg I rember this stuped crap when it very first came on, but it is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[AADudley]

what's the name of the song that's being played with the "no kids out of the pool" bumper?

[countrygirlbabe2]

i dont think it is a song just music donno

[FreezingMose]

Mambo Gallego (D-Code Remix)by Tito Puente is the music during the 2001 bumpers, if that helps.

[poppiesrule]

all kids out of the pool. fuckin' A.

[sarcasmosis]

Does anyone know if there's anywhere to get just the straight first aid and safety images? They look awesome as a set.

[maskedracoon2]

whats the music at the beggining

[gabrielawsome1994]

what about 2005?

[guamuser]

i remember when adult swim first came out.

i always felt so cool to stay up late and catch these "adult" cartoons.

i also remember staying up late on sundays (or was it saturdays?) to catch O Canada!

[u1g1h1]

I think it was Sundays. I remember O Canada! and on occasion, I enjoyed it better than most of [as]. I wish they'd show it again, it totally owns [as] as it is now.

[countrygirlbabe2]

OMg me 2. I rember him saying all kids out of the pool. I was in first grade that is soo cool awesome!

[amandakj]

I think that adult swim is very cool. I am soo glad that they changed these awful bumps. I think that cartoon network realized how important adult swim is and gave the staff a lot more money enough said

[peckerface12]

They changed it for a REASON!

[rekhjerh]

I'v never seen any of these. Any chance you could add some from '04?

[Konoha107]

i remember some of these...

[thefriendsociety]

5:35 grunting sound from Doom

[MandyInk]

I remember this too... my parents let me watch it they didn't care. But I got embarassed watching Futurama with my babysitter... but my dad and I watched Futurama when I was like hummm I think 7 or 8 or something.

[bonechene]

LMFAO 4:18!!!!!

[bbb149]

i think it all changed when robot chicken kicked its sexy head in

[PooButt3]

Even though [as] is still great there bumps are kindda boring now..

[PooButt3]

Thanks for the video grat job!!

[PooButt3]

I remember when i first saw this when i was 9...me and my friend were in his basement watching cartoon network friday and then this came on...big part in my child hood...although i only remember like 2 bumps and the intro "adult swim all kids outta the pool"...or somthing like that..and now im 14 and still loving it.

[mike12jrw1111113]

Haha I'm 1 year older than you. I remember watching this when I was 10 lol. I snuck and watched it finaly when my mom was out becuase she got me so interested in seeing what i was since my mom kept telling me not to watch it lol. Good times.

[PooButt3]

Lol,nice.  I dont think my mom ever knew,even now,lol and good thing... ye great times.

[runescapepkerftw]

[geekgo4]

[PooButt3]

[giovanda83]

[carlcon]

[robo1020]

WHY DO THEY TOOK THOSE OFF

[HartCourtMovieNerd]

ADULT SWIM!!!!!!!!!!! I fucking hate you! Your fucking alien friends invaded Cartoon Network atempting to destory their shows for good! My step son says that he still can't belived you aired Super Milk Chan on that shitty network, because that show was the best.

[MandyInk]

They didn't ruin it! Adults need to watch their cartoons too...

[MandyInk]

They didn't tuin it... as a step father you shouldn't be talking like that.. have you even watched Adult Swim before????????? It sounds like your step son is too young to stay up past 11.

[HartCourtMovieNerd]

I'm a step MOTHER you dumbass. I'm a female.

[A6x2e8l]

the first was the best

[yourzoidberg2]

or what about that jazz song at the very beggining?

[HarrisonTheFan]

Anyone know the song played through most of the first like 2 minutes?

[denissanchez10456]

does anybody knows that song from the beginning of the old ppl gettin in the pool?

[80smusicforever]

classic

[DarkChaos892]

wow i never really knew how many cartoons adult swim have....

[gizzerd66]

the only spam i like is the kind in a can i like it on white bread with american cheese

[kazuothe6th]

a tear to my eye, seriously, i remember staying up, on the first night, and when i saw that first bumper, i knew i was now in a different world, awesome

[pachirisulover12]

sniff thanks i love 2001 and 2003 =')

[sonicfeet]

Gah, 04:40.

[Schuhmaster]

This makes me really nostalgic, I remember when the only shows they had were home movies and inuyasha

[nicolunacba]

in latin america adulswim started in 2005. It have another format. It isnt like this.

What was adultsim in 2001?

[sgellie]

that thing was so cool why did they stop useing it D:

[bigglou]

The sad fact is they stop doing that because it became costly for them to create drawings like that.

:(

[sgellie]

thats it thats why they stoped

[tubularlyradical]

oh, and does anybody have the paminto cheese clip?

[tubularlyradical]

god bless youtube

[Jrayk1]

I remember these back when I was 8!

[honkycabbit]

I hate the current bumpers especially the black and white cards. They remind me of those stupid message T-shirts losers would wear to piss people off and gives other people a reason to kick their ass.

[chibikerrin]

I remember these from when I was too young to watch tv that late but I would sneak up every night to see adult swim. I was like 12 in 2001. LOL!

Good times...good times.

[goodapollo90]

Wow I remember these. I didnt know I been watching this crap for so long..

[killermalibu]

these were so much better than the boring ones they have now... =0(
