  Sorry, we just found out. That shit sucks.

• During the "History Of Adult Swim", they provide respectful bumps for all their previous shows...until they get to Minoriteam.
  One time we greenlit 20 episodes based solely on a pitchboard, showing character designs for a superhero group whose power were their racial stereotype. It was the first time we skipped a pilot and went straight to series. Oops.
• Don't let [adult swim] take nature photos.
  This weekend we took a picture of two foxes f###ing
  We didn't realize they were doing it until after the picture was taken
  It felt kind of weird and wrong so we're not going to show the picture
  But it's a struggle not to
  [beat]
  [they show the picture anyway]

• The former sign-off bumper from mid-May 2019 features various pixelated [adult swim] characters, accompanied by a 8-bit version of the United States anthem. However, the funny part is at the end, where Rick and Morty flip the world. This was later replaced with Rick simply waving goodbye.
• For older fans of the network and CN in general, there was great hilarity to Jeff Grant's interview on the Adult Swim podcast which rather plainly revealed the Adult Swim and Cartoon Network split was nothing more than an attempt to get advertisers who wanted to buy slots but weren't allowed to by US laws on what they considered a "kids channel". Even funnier is the only reason they got it was by using a sleep study to basically say "kids fall asleep with the channel on" despite everyone at the channel always knowing kids stayed up to watch CN at night before and with an Adult Swim.
  • Meta-wise his comments here also finally explained a very vague post George A Klein (guy who worked on Toon Heads) said on Toonzone years back.
• A 2020 bump tries to make the iconic Nightmare Fuel bump "The Dawn Is Your Enemy" more "friendly". This is done by changing its name to "The Dawn Is Your Frenemy", adding some piano music over the eerie music from the original, as well as a red balloon to the background and making the sun wink at the end (a nice nod to the creepypasta). Here's the problem though, it's still creepy, which is acknowledged by [as] as they say that they're not sure if the friendliness is working. Doubles as an awesome moment, as this is one of the few times the bump has been seen since it was removed in 2010.
• A quarter-hour short that aired on Adult Swim called The Salad Mixxxer where inventor Dip Dunham created a kitchen device that allows housewives to make and mix salads quickly. However, he doesn't realize the device's phallic design and remote vibrating feature makes it a perfect sex toy. And there's Dip's horrified reaction fifty years later once he sees what his Salad Mixxxer is really used for.
  • One of the women that Dip is showing his product to asks it it can be used in the bath. Dip (not realizing her intentions with the Salad Mixxxer,) asks her why she needs to mix a salad in the bathtub in a bewildered manner.
