Common messages include random announcement, announcements about upcoming shows and schedules, or responses to fans from the actual message boards.

** Adult Swim is an interesting example in that the bumps are rewritten each week on Sunday; this means that for one day, the bumps actually DO have something to do with the show that's on or coming up, however they are replayed every day throughout the week, even when the schedule changes, which can lead to some confusion for those who don't watch it on Sunday. They use the bumps to [[AdoredByTheNetwork praise their new favorite shows]] (and sometimes yell at their viewers for not watching it enough), rag on the anime crowd, throw props to other networks (especially during the Conan Tonight Show debacle), deliver WordOfGod straight from the show creators, answer FAQs from the forums, show fanart, and occasionally preview upcoming movies.
** The bumpers prior to the "White text, black background" days were often vaguely creepy, with bizarre images, unsettlingly mismatched music, and Japanese text, often with one phrase in English like "ADULT SWIM IS YOUR FRIEND" or "FLEE THE COMING OF THE DAWN!" You can still catch these in the 5 AM timeslot sometimes, when they are preparing to change back to Cartoon Network. Someone must have realized how much this can bother children, though, because in recent times they've switched to a Cartoon Network-style bump at the actual changeover point (6 AM).

* MTV practically turned this into an art form. This was mostly due to creative director Fred Seibert's belief that these short bumpers should be "the album covers of the new generation of music fans". Plenty of cartoonists (such as Danny Antonucci and Joe Murray) got their start animating short 5-10 second MTV bumpers before they went on to create cartoons of their own.
