I dunno, maybe it was the minimal animation or something, but most of the stuff on Adult Swim weirded me out when I was a kid
Does anyone remember an ancient Adult Swim claymation (I think it was even before Adult Swim was a thing) where it was about roaches hanging out at a gas station or something?
Really fucked with me as a kid.

Wait are you talking about that Slipknot video, cause that was MTV dawg
squidbillies used to freak me out as a kid OP
as a kid i sometimes wake up in the middle of the night and just turn on the tv and peewee herman was on, on adult swim and as a kid i never understood why this was on adult swim and continued to watch it scared and confused to see if some kind of "adult" joke was going to happen

Fuck are you me? I still to this day dont know what that was about
Also Milk-Chan weirded me out
In soviet Australia we had to deal with this weird half real half CG face on a wall - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2WW1-N9Q5KA
There's was also a show called Blast Off! that had faceless doll that was sentient. Puppets are sorta /co/ related.
I used to watch Tom Goes to the Mayor, Aqua Teen, and Sealab a lot circa 2004/2005/2006 and had no idea what the hell they were supposed to be. I also liked Home Movies and Futurama a decent amount.
I know Xavier and Oz Mo and Saul of the Molemen really confused me the first time I saw them in the middle of the night.

Shit I remember that. It must have been about 10 years ago now. During my summer break, I would watch CN until it went to AS and one night, instead of seeing Family Guy or Futurama or anime at 11 at night, it was fucking Pee Wees Playhouse.
I couldn't sleep one night so I turned the tv on to watch disney channel, but it started on cartoon network, and for whatever reason it was playing some weird song and had jpegs of starving kids in africa, then they put the heads of them onto pictures of starving kids riding trycicles, then the starving african children got really fat, then the same would happen for more children at the same time... I started trying to flip the channel quickly, but I ended up doing something that made it the only channel available and the number the channel was became permanently super large and over the screen in ( this happened a lot, I had a REALLY OLD TV and no one really knew how to use it so I would just fiddle around with the remote until I accidentally fixed it) I just turned the tv off, told my parents to remove whatever channel that was and laid down in the dark questioning what the fuck that was...
I assume the show was either 12 oz. mouse or an adult swim bumper, but I am not 100% sure

We had something similar in America. Much friendlier, though. Burr burr burr!

ATHF freaked me out a bit with Frylock because I thought he was some sort of demon.
In the end, Shake was the true villain.
I once turned on cartoon network to find, what I assume was a moral oral holloween special? their were zombies and they were burning bibles, while zombies weren't anything new, them burning bibles was super eerie to me as I never heard of such a thing and I lived in a super christian household.
ON christmas I couldn't sleep so I turned it to cartoon network and the squidbillies christmas special was on, the one where they take santa hostage and torture him, skin his reindeer etc.

>ATHF freaked me out a bit with Frylock because I thought he was some sort of demon.
No, but he was a monster.
Celebrity deathmatch kinda creeped me out. Especially that one where the mud wrestler was a terminator.
I remember I would want to watch Cowboy Bebop on Adult Swim as an eight year old but I had to sit through those freaky promos that scared the shit out of me

Adult Swim in general was weird to me.
The swimming pool bumpers.
The Artsy japan bumpers.
The silent text on the screen saying whatever.
Not to mention all the shows were just totally different to what I was acclimated to from Cartoon Network.
It was like when you're in another country, watching their television, and you have no idea what is going on.
The effect was even more powerful since I hadn't really had cable tv up until that point, and was incredibly naive about everything.
