So, what do you guys think the prank will be this year? It's not on a Saturday, so we can probably rule out anything involving Toonami or anime-related (I think next year April Fools falls on a Saturday, so if Toonami's still around, they'll do a prank for them that year) and while I generally dislike [as]'s comedies (King of the Hill and Bob's Burgers being the exceptions), I do like seeing the pranks they pull off each year.

So, it's time to speculate what the prank will be this year. I think we're done with airings of The Room, and an anime prank is highly unlikely given the fact it's a Friday and not a Saturday, but do you think 2016's prank will be good?

Personally, I think 2015's coin hunt prank was kind of lame, but maybe this year will be better. It's hard to top 2012's prank, but that was something special.
>>
>>81299024
I'm with you, 2015's prank was lame.

As for 2012's Toonami prank, I don't consider that an actual prank. It was a beta test for Toonami's revival disguised as a prank, essentially they wanted to see if anime was worth keeping anymore and so they did the Toonami prank to test the waters. People liked it, and they brought back Toonami.

As for this year's prank, I dunno what it could be. I'm thinking it would probably be similar to the 2008 and the 2014 pranks where they just re-air forgotten shows and failed pilots as a surprise.

Somewhere I still have a tape of the 2003-ish April Fools where they added fart noises to all the shows.
The only one I really remember was GitS but that was the best one by far.
>wheelchair making fart noises as it ascends stairs
>>
I want them to announce Big O S3 just to fuck with Big O fans like they did back in the old days
>>
The shows will play normally, except their audio is in reverse.
>>
I'd like to see the normal lineup but with a Toonami skin, bumps, intros etc.

>>81299307
Ah, that was 2006's prank. A bit juvenile, but better than some of the stuff later.

2004-2006 was a Golden Age for [as] in my opinion, with 2005 being the best year overall IMO on both the anime and comedy fronts.
>>
>>81299378
That would be funny, but best saved for when April Fools falls on a Saturday.
>>
>>81299307
I wasn't able to watch the entire episode, but I was lucky enough to tape the last bit along with the entire Fullmetal Alchemist episode. I uploaded both of them up on youtube, but Aniplex decided to take down the FMA episode about a year later without warning and put me on strike for 6 months. Fucking gay.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lG3UhUFbabU
>>
>>81299465
That would actually be pretty funny.
>>
>>81299597
I could possibly snip out the whole GitS episode for you. I wouldn't want to put it on my Youtube, I've got 2/3 strikes right now because Toei yanked my Kamen Rider clips.
>>

I would love to see them give Toonami intros to all the regular adult swim shows

It wasnt a beta, DeMarco literally said that the April Fools TOONAMI stunt was a one-off thing. It was only after they received so many emails and tweets that they decided to pull the trigger.
>>
>>81299024
I bet they're going to do... nothing, I mean, they never advertised April Fools Day before, so what better way to say Fuck You to the viewers than just playing the same program like every other night?
>>
I hope this year's April Fools is for something like giving [as] its own channel.
Or just a recreation of 2002-2004 era of [as], complete with comfy as fuck still image bumpers.
>>

My TV Guide just has their regular lineup. Maybe the prank is that there is none, which is super lame.

It's always that way so it's not spoiled

Just so I'm sure, tonight is when this happens, right?

They always do that though. Even in the past when there has been a prank, schedule stays the same to trick people.

What's wrong with him only liking the two best comedies?
>>
It’s crazy how downhill Adult Swim has gone recently.

For example, in December of 2008, when Adult Swim only broadcast seven hours a night, this is what their schedule included:

You had Moral Orel*, The Boondocks*, Aqua Teen*, Robot Chicken*, Superjail*, Frisky Dingo*, Squidbillies*, Metalacolypse*, Xavier: Renegade Angel*, The Drinky Crow Show*, Tim and Eric Awesome Show: Great Job*, Sealab 2021, Stroker and Hoop, Tom Goes to the Mayor, Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law, Home Movies, Mission Hill, Clerks: the Animated Series, Minoriteam, and Lucy Daughter of the Devil all in regular rotation, with new acquisitions King of the Hill and The PJs joining the lineup in the final week of the month leading into 2009.

Also, Anime aired at that by Adult Swim included Astro Boy, FLCL, Code Geass, Shin Chan, The Big O, Inuyasha, Cowboy Bebop, Full Metal Alchemist, Death Note, Moribito, Ghost in the Shell, and Bleach.
Seth McFarlane shows only aired in reruns in the 11 PM hour: reruns Monday-Thursday and new episodes on Sundays.

Today, Adult Swim has expanded to airing for 10 hours a night, and this is what their lineup is comprised of:

Robot Chicken*, Squidbillies*, Venture Brothers*, Children’s Hospital* (new episodes airing, but has been cancelled), Mr. Pickles*, Mike Tyson Mysteries*, Rick and Morty*, DVR Theater* (currently Infomercials reruns, sometimes premieres of Off The Air, Fishcenter Live, or other specials; was formerly a showcase for older AS shows), and Aqua Teen are the only non-FOX comedy programs currently airing.

The only anime airing on Adult Swim is Dragonball Z Kai, Dimension W, Samurai Champloo, Naruto: Shippuden, One Piece, and Kill La Kill.

Reruns of Family Guy, Cleveland Show, and American Dad alone make up over 60% of Adult Swim’s lineup, while Bob’s Burgers and King of the Hill reruns also air 6 and 7 nights a week, respectively.


* denotes the shows that were in production and airing new episodes on AS that year.
>>
>>81301096
the worst kind of person is the one who only watches [as] for Rick and Morty
>>
FLCL marathon all night long!
>>
>>81301145
>two best comedies
Home Movies, The Boondocks, Harvey Birdman, Space Ghost, Sealab 2021, The Venture Bros., and Aqua Teen are all better.
>>
>>81301300
Home Movies is literally cancer
>>
>>81301185
As much as I hate Tim and Eric I'd rather them get a 15 min slot if it means I can get that kind of variety back. I'm sick of AS being FOX reruns from 8-12 and then repeating at 130. That's just an hour and a half of "original" content which is mostly fucking Robot chicken
>>
>>81301263
>
>>
>>81301318
Home Movies is literally made by most of the same people who do Bob's Burgers today
>>
>>81301300
But most of those don't even air anymore.
>>
I dont have cable and havent for years but I kinda miss watching adult swim
Is there any place that streams it nightly?
>>
>>81301318
>likes Bob's Burgers
>doesn't like Home Movies which was made by the same people
bandwagoner pls go
>>
>>81301395
Which is exactly the problem. as needs more shows like mike Tysons mysteries and less FOX reruns but as long as faggots keep watching that shit they won't turn down the free money instead of creating original content like they had to in the early 00s. Losing futurama did more damage than any of us could foresee since that caused them to snatch up every shit FOX show they could sink their fangs into. For fucks sake they tried airing sit down shut up MULtIPLE times

Still waiting for the episode composed entirely of old [as] bumps.

I'd love for them to do an old school night since it is AS' 15th anniversary this year.

Aqua Teens wasn't the best show to do it for but the concept was really cool. I wouldn't mind if they put that in to Macfarlane reruns or something, seems like a fun way of breathing new life in to watching the same shows.

I want this year's April Fools to show absolutely no shows at all and just be a big string of old Adult Swim bumpers.
>>
The Dawn is Your Enemy
>>
>>81304105
That sounds just awful, I'd shut the TV off in 5 minutes
>>
I was looking at the Toonami thread and apparently they have 2 news shows that need announced by Saturday. Wouldn't surprise me if AS threw in some joke trailers tonight on top of the April Fools programming
>>
>>81304419
I'm pretty sure that was the lineup from the first ever AS broadcast
>>
>>81304539
Just recreate the exact original airing, with HD bumpers. Same commercials and shows.
Have it start out like it use to, and end how it use to.

I would be so happy if that happened.

>>81301185
I'm in the extreme minority I suppose, but I thought Adult swim Anime was, at its high point, way better than the toonami revival. GitS, Paranoia Agent, FLCL, Big O, Durarara etc. Plus the lack of a focus on action left them free to add a variety of stuff like shin Chan and SuperMilkChan
>>
>>81301185
You forgot Parasyte.
>>
>>81299024

They live broadcast a /co/ stream all night
>>
>>81305009
For awhile, most of that shit was on Toonami anyway.

Toonami is a life support system to a long dead way to watch anime. Non action shows don't appeal to people who watch anime on TV.
>>
>>81305009
FLCL is getting a whole revival thanks to Toonami, and Big O, and GiTS were on Toonami so much people got sick of them which got Toonami cut.

Even if it was still ASA, which means it would be dead since ASA was about a month away from full cancellation prior to Toonami, they wouldn't air things like DRRR anyway because of what a ratings failure shows like that were

I don't know, they usually disappoint or go above and beyond for their pranks. My favorite is still Aqua Teen movie in the corner of the TV. While I loved Toonami, that wasn't a prank as it was a fucking god send, it's likes saying someone giving you free money is a prank.
Whatever it is, I hope it's good.
>>
>>81306112
Toonami was a prank though, there initially were no plans for it to return for more than one night
>>
>>81306262
Even so, just one more night would've still made me happy.
But thanks to the support, it's on every week.
>>
The prank has already been leaked. I won't spoil it exactly, but I'd set your standards low
>>
>>81306111
I would love an MST3K-style riffing with the Aqua Teens (and Carl).

Well? Spill.
>>

>I'd set your standards low
Don't disappointment ahead of time, you cunt.
>>
>>81306767
It's Fish Center: The Movie.
>>
>>81306878
>>81306872
>>81306824
Alright, real spoilers here
the reason they are airing that bump showing old pranks is that it's a combination of a few old ones. It's Coin Hunt with Mr Pickles, with cat heads with mustaches. At the end, there is a one off new episode of Mr Pickles
>>
>>81306112
>new episodes of KotH for the whole night

I want to have hope that they'll do something cool for us dedicated and long term fans, but given their more recent behavior and the corporatization of AS, it's probably going to be some cop-out. It will most likely be some stealth premiere of Mr. Pickles or some garbage or a live stream website related thing again.

I miss the one where they farted over all the anime. How long ago was that? I didn't enjoy it at the time but in retrospect it was hilarious. I want to see them do that again.

I feel like Adult Swim has been going back and forth between a decent and awesome April Fools prank every other year over the past 5 years.

2011 - The Room (again)
2012 - The Room fakeout leading to Toonami
2013 - Cat faces over the normal lineup
2014 - new PHF and Space Ghost marathon
2015 - Aqua Teen coin hunt and fish center

We're due for something cool this year
>>
How crazy was /co/ during the toonami reveal in 2012?
>>
>>81299597
I remember one of my friends said there was one year where they ran animes but drew mustaches on all the characters.
>>
>>81307211
Because it's cheap.

Ever wonder why all of Adult Swim's bumps are the same white text on a blackground? Or why their highest rated event is a live video feed of their fish tank?

Adult Swim feeds itself off the scraps Time Warner throws at them. They do send some of that off to other places, like to Samurai Jack and FLCL, but they also need some "safe" shows. Series that are easy to produce, don't cost much money, and will get some viewership out of it.

Before Mr. Pickles, it was Tim and Eric. Or Loiter Squad. Or the Eric Andre show. Just think of it as a way to get viewers so they can make the series they REALLY want to make. Like how Pixar makes sequels to fund its dream projects.

>>81313586
>Or why their highest rated event is a live video feed of their fish tank?
No it's not you mong. It airs airs at 4 AM and gets the same number of viewers as other AS shows in that slot.
>>
>>81313586
>Like how Pixar makes sequels to fund its dream projects.
Pixar has dream projects? They haven't really impressed me after their second sequel (Toy Story 3, which itself did not impress me).
>>
>>81313307
The whole website was crazy. /a/ was out of control, that's why Toonami got banned there

/co/ was hype, hell all of 4chan was hype. I was shitposting /sp/ when somebody started a "TOONAMI BOWL" thread on /sp/ (this was before hotpockets became too bootyblasted on /sp/). Then /v/ had a Toonami watch thread too.

It united 4chan with nostalgia

>>81313307
/v/ shit itself harder than /co/ did
>>
>>81313749
Eh, sorta. Up, Inside Out, etc. New ideas are harder to get past executives, so they slip them by in exchange for doing sequels for an already-selling series.
>>
>>81313586
what the fuck are their dream products? Venture Bros, which gets 8 episodes every 3 years? Rick & Morty, which is almost as bad?

besides, they put out plenty of cheap shit like Sealab (stock footage) which was actually funny. there's no excusing the network becoming the FOX Animation Domination rerun channel since 2009
>>
>>81313709
Again, it's cheap. Understand that Adult Swim thrives from cutting corners.
>>
I said it last year too, but I'm really hoping for let's paint TV
>>
Adult swim has always been cheap, but it used to be that cheapness would result in shows like home movies, Harvey birdman, etc.
>>
>>81313851
FLCL. Samurai Jack. That recent bump they did with the director of Ghost in the Shell, animated by Production I.G.

Not saying Mr. Pickles isn't shit. It is. But it's like a packing peanut, just there to give weight to the whole package.

That was a fun year. I have that InuYasha episode on tape somewhere too. It took my by surprise at first. Great night.

When the fart night aired the anime club I was forced to join in high school (And what a living nightmare that experience was) was up in arms offended over the fart thing. AS reaired the episodes that night or the next week if I'm not mistaken. I thought it was funny personally.

My cable box says it'll be Robot Chicken at midnight.

I can't remember, do they do their April Fools on the night of the 31st, or the night of the 1st?
>>
>>81317760
Guides and cable boxes never say what it is, because the schedule is usually written and programmed in far in advance, before AS even thinks of something.
>>
>>81317760
Adult Swim, for the last time, doesn't release the real lineup. They just throw it what would have normally been played.
They do this every year, quit worrying.

Should've saved the FLCL announcement until now.

...........Unless the announcement was the prank and they reveal it was fake tonight.

It'll be a broadcast of The Room with fart noises and cat heads superimposed while Squidbillies, Perfect Hair, and the Aqua Teen movie play in three of the corners of the screen, and giant coins cover the rest of the screen. TOM hosts the bumpers sporting a mustache. Also a surprise pilot in the middle.
