The music of Adult Swim is incredible. Those bumps between shows were how I discovered so many amazing artists. That and Samurai Champloo.

"That's one thing you can't get from Netflix" -best, anti-Netflix campaign, EVER.

Rest in peace, C. Martin Croker. He voiced and animated space ghost: coast to coast, and he will be dearly missed

There is something calming and psychedelic about the Adult Swim aesthetic

I literally just realized Adult Swim is the Newgrounds of Television.

Goddamn. Extreme nostalgia. Actually got misty. <3 Toonami.

I long for the nights of adolescent rebellion. when I'd pretend to be asleep until I couldn't hear any other noise in my apartment. and turn the tv on whilst simultaneously turning the volume down to near mute levels. and I'd digest this programming that I couldn't quite put my finger on, but I knew I liked it and I knew I wanted more. I started watching adult swim I wouldn't even tell anyone about it, it's like it was just for me.

Adult Swim introduced me to the entertainment I needed growing up :J

I recall being a little kid and getting nervous when the "adult swim" logo came on in the evening because it creeped me out...but watching it anyway, of course.

I'm tearing up. I've never teared up because of YouTube. Nice job.

Adult Swim and Toonami influenced my taste in music

dude id watch adult swim reruns any day, the way they scheduled the shows with the messages and bumps in between was so dope. You weren't just watching a show, it was like watching a movie.

Of all the shows that had the potential to withstand the test of time, only Aqua Teen Hunger force manages to hang in there. It's like the spongebob of Adult Swim

I had goosebumps hearing the sound byte of Steve Blum thanking [as] :')

7:24 "AdultSwim cancelled your favorite show? Good. The important part is it gave you a favorite show." I think this should be told to like 90% of the [AS] fanbase, at least the one that's on facebook, seeing all the cancerous comments like "Bring <this show> back" and "<This show> sucks, cancel it!". Great editing on the video btw, enjoyed it!

I am getting unnecessarily emotional over this. I don't know if anyone can relate.
