You’ve been warned! The most ridiculous, insane, craziest TV is about to invade your homes. Adult Swim has been described as a life-changing pseudo-network. It’s not just television – to its loyal fans, it’s a way of life. Nothing is sacred and nothing is safe, and viewers can certainly expect the unexpected. Adult Swim shows typically rip everything up and spit them on the floor.
In the US, for more than a decade, Adult Swim has ranked no. 1 among adults 18 to 34. There it sits as a programming block from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. on Cartoon Network, but in the Philippines, Adult Swim has found a home on Warner TV. It airs late night, 11:05 p.m., on Wednesdays and Thursdays.
When it launched in 2001 on Cartoon Network, Adult Swim was positioned as the home to all things pleasantly absurd. Many of today’s young adults may remember its ubiquitous commercials for pioneer shows like Space Ghost Coast to Coast, an animated parody talk show hosted by the 1960s Hanna-Barbera cartoon character Space Ghost, as well as Aqua Teen Hunger Force, which features a floating box of fries, a milkshake and a ball of meat who team up to solve mysteries. Both shows captured the imaginations of the late-night crowd, which is assuredly nothing short of wonderfully nonsensical fun.
Its brand of humor includes the whole comedy spectrum, from satirical to snarky, from pop-culture to anarchical, and from slapstick to complete absurdity. And it is this hodgepodge of shows that cater to various types of humor, which appeals to its target audience. In a way, Adult Swim has gained their audience’s trust, ensuring their dedicated viewers that they will always have something—in incredible animation or stylized live-action—to keep their eyes occupied and glued to the screen.
