Nothing is fucking happening edition
>>81325287
It's up next bro. Just keep watching.
Every thread weans out the weak. There's going to be nothing but I'm making it to 6 AM goddammit
JUST
STAY
COOL
>>81325321
I've been here since 8:00 PM.nothing's going to happen
>>81325296
It's alright, people.
Believe in Adult Swim.
>>81325321
i wish there was a stream up and we could just chat there
>>81325321
I'm probably not going to sleep until after toonami.
Or at leastJoJo
So should we consider this to be the year they did their last prank (nothing) or last year?
>>81325296
DON'T STOP BELIEVING
Oh hey Shmorky bump
back to big grams
>>81325296
IT WASN'T UP NEXT
OOHHHH SHITTT!!!!!
Your faith has been rewarded Swim Faithful!!
Welp, as was a bust
What will CN do for April Fool's day?
The fuck is this?
I thought it was funny.
Was that Leven Polka (Hatsune Miku version) on a phone commercial?
>>81325374
this year. Last years prank was stupid but it was still a prank.
The joke was us watching expecting a prank
>>81325415
The fuck are you talking about? This same thing has been on at this time all week. It's NOT an April Fool's.
>>81325420
i think its something from run the jewels, i recognized killer mike in there
what am I watching
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hruW7-mYWhY
At least we got some shit
Thanks DVR Theatre, I guess
>>81325416
Probably just marathon TTG all day, they love that show so much that they showed a marathon of that on christmas instead of christmas specials
>>81325439
It wasn't that stupid. I liked it
this better not be a 30 min music video >>81325432
a remixed version ye
>>81325420
The garbage [AS] wastes money on to only air at 4am and no other time.
You wonder why metaloalypse got cancled, why venture brothers takes so long, and all that other bullshit? It's because they keep throwing money at indie garbage projects like this instead of refueling decent content.
>That captcha prank
Fuck you captcha, I already get enough of your shit with failed entires. I don't need your garbage pranks.
>>81325456
the year before CN ran a marathon of Johnny Test
Is there a Youtube video for this phone commercial?
>AS will never show The Room again
fuck me
>>81325458
I only think it's stupid because Carl got snubbed.
Fucking cheating ass Shake headbanging on a coin
>>81325472
is this it?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKbrakcRJdE
well for all the /v/ people here
is Sakura wars v worth it? I'm thinking about renting the wii version (only one available) on gamefly
>>81325287
We've been so terribly betrayed.
I bet DeMarco is laughing it up right now
Fucking why. Even another coin hunt would've been good.
Oh damn it's the FLORIDADA music video.
>this video
We Off The Air kind of feeling now
Fuck is this now
>Animal Collective
Worth the wait for me, at least.
Shoulda done >>81323517, adult swim.
>AnCo outta nowhere.
This is some consolationnot really
>>81325530
I have a feeling people will be less butthurt about the memes now
I just hope nobody gives them some sort of haha it's ironic credit
>>81325530
>>81325556
HE CANT KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH THIS
they've been showing this video along with another for a few days though
Infomercial time
>>81325565
Anything related to Toonami will be saved for a Saturday April Fools
>>81325604
So it's still nothing
>>81325620
yes
The only good thing was the FLCL bump.
never really got this for profit fake infomerical
it's an obvious scame right?
CONSTANT SEXUAL ASSAULTS
>>81325635
it's a joke.
For profit online is actually really good tho.
2 WHOLE PANERA SANDWICHS A DAY
No more pencils, no more books, no more suicides in the library
>>81325576
oh but I did anon. It was probably harder to do this than it would have been to at least do something
What a ruse cruise.
>>81325653
I know it's a joke, I just didn't get it
still better than that live bear footage fake medicine ad bait and switch
>bawitdaba
every time
>>81325635
It's about a college that is controlled by an artificial intelligent bot that people couldn't control, and everyone and everything you see is created from said bot.
It's not even an infomercial, none of these really are, it's just some bullshit under story mystery you are supposed to reveal.
swords and pentacles
I bet Adult Swim is slapping their knees going "Huehuehue! Aren't we the funniest jokesters?!
>/co/ right now
just bring me the Panera bread
fucking Howard
>>81325696
What does this mean?
>>81325635
originally but it starts getting weirder. in the end a rogue AI takes over the commercial
Why bother making more FLCL? It was beautiful like it was.
Well, let's name cool ideas for [as] April Fools, guys, since there wasn't anything.
- Airing all the banned episodes in the network's history. (ATHF "Boston", Boondocks' "BET" episodes, Outlaw Star Episode 23, Family Guy's abortion episode)
- Birdemic/Titanic The Animated Movie/Foodfight marathon
- Fake Toonami (Airing the absolute worst anime dubs with bumps that hype the everliving fuck out of them, Garzey's Wing, M.D. Geist, Ocean dub of DBZ)
Technically, if you have a credit card, you're already enrolled
>>81325731
Because following trends is the hip thing now
>>81325725
That boy needs therapy
>>81325749
You're a nut! You're crazy in the coconut!
HOWARD IS INTHIS THREAD
>>81325731
Do not go gently into that good night.
Separate but equal servers, lmao
>>81325731
Apparently the asshole who had a hard on for FLCL all those years ago still works there and stopped making bumps and is in charge of something where he can call the shots.
Apparently hes too autistic to know when you let something to lay to rest and wants to join the wave of "Lets revive everything from a decent era and rape it into death!"
uh oh
Will you give up on Adult Swim now?
>>81325695
Because they are. The more asshurt they cause the better they did
>>81325788
Only when they dump Anime for good.
>>81325788
the block itself? no, Mike Tyson Mysteries is coming back soon.
this prank? yeah I gave up hours ago
>>81325734
The regular AS lineup with TOM bumpers
>>81325734
Classics marathon with classic bumps
MY NAME IS CLEVELAND BROWN, AND I AM PROUD TO BE
>>81325771
>literally bides his time until he's in a position to spend adult swim's new show budget on an FLCL sequel
well, at least he's committed
>>81325788
Its too late for me
>>81325771
Jesus Lawd please no. Why is pop culture stuck in such a horrible rut?
Everything's made for, like, babies now.
>>81325826RIGHT BACK IN MY HOMETOWN
>>81325788
Do people actually watch AS outside of Toonami? Even that is just a nostalgia thing, wouldn't slow anyone down if it was gone
Finally time for some Bob's Burgers
>>81325734
Forgot this oneDoing the april fools joke at 8pm instead of Midnight
>>81325842
Because it is the era of the meme. If you want a saying that should be a real thing, Anime wasn't a mistake, memes are the true mistake.
Memes are just repeated garbage over and over and is rehashed because no one is creative enough to come up with an original joke, picture, video, nothing. They just want to use someone elses work, revamp it a bit, call it their own, pat themselves on the back and watch everyone eat it up because they loved it the first time.
Welcome to the era of memes, enjoy your hellish stay.
>>81325734
>the clock strikes midnight
>TOM greets the audience
>"I know you guys have been waiting for this for a long time...let's get started."
>cut to black
>LOOOONG AGO IN A DISTANT LAND
>new, freshly animated Samurai Jack intro
>the "episode" is just Perfect Hair Forever but everyone has Jack hair
>>81325851
>Do people actually watch AS outside of Toonami?
it's mostly a filler block. You put it on when you're on the internet for background noise and when a new episode of a show is on, you watch it then.
as is great background noise.
>>81325851
People only come for the Fox shows. Since they pulled the plug on ATHF their own content isn't worth watching.
>>81325879
You know, it is a school night (I think) so a lot of [AS] target audience would have been in bed and missed if they did anything tonight
>someone made a brand new Twitter account to tweet this
Which one of you was it?
>>81325882
>/co/ can think of a better prank in five minutes than AS executives that had an entire year
>>81325851
When I was ten, I started watching Adult Swim only after my older brother and I watched the Toonami stunt, which introduced me to to anime. Overtime, I've started to watch Adult Swim outside of Saturday.
>>81325898
>>81325898
I pretty much just watch Toonami and King of the Hill, so probably
so who sort of saw this coming when they started advertising the april fools shit?
I wouldn't have bet money on it, but I thought it was a possibility that they would just go full retard
>>81325941
I didn't get into King Of The Hill until Adult Swim started airing it.
>>81325965
So have I.
>>81325947
I thought they would keep hyping it up all through out the night and keep playing the ads
My favorite was the mustache April Fools Day. What was that, fifteen years ago?
What if this is the end bros? What if after tonight they just never do another April Fools prank ever again?
>>81325986
12 years ago
>>81325995
Fuck off already, why do you keep posting screenshots...
>>81325947
I thought about Nothing. but literaaly nothing
Void space, a black image, stock footage on loop. Shows with no image, only audio.
At least instead of [adult swim], that the block would be called [nothing], lust like the time with the cats and the coin hunt.
But no, nothing remotelly similar to my concept of nothingness. They only made some commercials, placed them during this week and called it a day.
Even when they premiered unfinished pilots, they made something interesting and unconventional. This is the same old fucking joke of "surprise, the surprise is that there's no surprise at all". The Room had a legacy and a sense of tradition, at least.
>>81325993
thats what he wants you to think next year isFLCL but in Japanese and no subs
>>81325993
I hope not, maybe we'll see another Toonami prank in 2017 or 2018
>>81325947
I never saw the ads
I kept myself in the dark so I could be surprised
And what a surprise it was...
>>81326032
>Toonami gets cancelled before then
>>81325959
I still don't get why do they called this Perfect Hair and not fucking Space Ghost.
Just use a stock video of a guy in a blanket, of archived videos of Andy Merrill dancing for Cartoon Planet.
>>81325993
I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't miss itbecause it means that Perfect Hair Forever is done
>>81326054
Because it was a new episode of PFH when nobody thought another new ep of it would ever be made again. If I remember properly they didn't have any new Space Ghost episodes.
>>81325884
Anything Polyle draws gets me randy. I think it's conditioning.
>>81326074
not only was it a new episode but they played it 8 times
>>81326032
April 1st of 2017 is on a Saturday, so we will probably get a Toonami prank of some sorts.
>>81326032
Toonami takes charge in 2018,if it's still around of if these faggots keep doing jokes at all
And considering Jason's recent attitude, I really think he won't do anything cool at all. It'll probably be a Dragon Ball Z Kai marathon. Or even a One Piece marathon.
Remember when they showed King Star King, Kickheart and Korgoth during Daylight savings? That was back in 20fucking13
>>81326074
But it was more of a bait and switch. Even the twitter account hinted Space Ghost before Perfect hair started. The episode was even an opener for the marathon, cosidering Thad's dialogue with Zorak.
>>81325734
Another Toonami prank with Moltar hosting and airing old anime like Sailor Moon, Outlaw Star, Gundam, Pilot Candidate, Lupin III, etc. They could use oneshot license deals like with the 2012 prank
>>81326158
I know they'd never do that but I'd like to see that
>>81326158
>airing things people would like is a prank
Nah m8, it would be 4 hours of the most hated shows from Toonami's lifespan
>>81326158
YES! DeMarco should make this happen, but he won't
Still here waiting for /6AM/
One fucking hour left
1 hour to go, come on..just give us 30 minutes of youtube poop king of the hill instead of an actual episode
>>81326246
>youtube poops on [as]
thats genius. why on earth wouldnt they have done that by now?
>yfw new april fools has old balloon shop videos airing
>>81325993
Honestly this was the last straw with [AS]. I understand they need to force feed us seth power hour garbage to get funding for shows, but it is shown [AS] likes pissing away money with shit that isn't good or quality to anyone who isn't high.
The least they can do is try to do something and put some effort into one day a year which people seem to enjoy. But whatever, I got hulu now if I want to watch shit I'll just use hulu for background noise for my TV.
It's not like my viewership makes an impact on anything anyways, I'm a lost voice in the crowd of others.
>>81326246
It's over. Accept that you're one of the last ones to make it this far and push through to 6 with me
No pranks?! This is 100% proof that TOONAMI IS DEAD
How long until DeMarco is running things at AS?
Lazzo will have to die at some point, right?
>>81326233
There was the 2012 prank. But if you were to do something like that, I'd get TOM 4 hosting and air Hamtaro, Wulin Warriors, Bobobobobo, Tenchi Muyo GXP, and Reign The Conqueror
>>81326271
Probably licensing issues.
>>81326275
I've been watching these jokes since 2011. And I've been on these threads since 2012.
From start to finish. Always hunting down streams and saving oc from those threads to share the legends with future generations.
It's been an awful ride and I'm glad I've shared it all of you remaining warriors.
reminder that we got nothing because somebody at AS wanted more seasons of FLCL
AS spent years shitting on anime and anime is now taking things away from AS
The ironing is astronomical
>>81326292
But TOM 4 is dead
Today the world stopped being fun.
>>81326328
I'd assume the prank would be non canon
>>81326318
How does new seasons of FLCL relate to the April Fools Day thing at all?
>>81325771
please, FLCL is the April Fools joke.
YOUR NOT THERE WHEN I NEED YOU THE MOST
YOUR THE WORST DECISION IVE EVER MADE
>>81326291
>implying DeMarco won't get fired first for using a Confederate flag as a missile. Lazzo will be around for all of AS's miserable existence
cats lol haha funny
>>81326275
Been here since 8:00, waiting for the inevitable 6:00 AM disappointment.
Fucking Christ Cleveland shit is only half over
>>81326425
Same here
WE'RE ALMOST THERE
I don't know why ppl think FLCL promo was the April fools joke when I saw the promo two days ago on as.
The ride's almost over fellas
Here's what's going to happen at 6 AM. There'll be a screen with text that says TUNE IN TOMORROW. And then tomorrow the joke will yet again be nothing. Adult Swim keeps doing this until even the gullible people stop falling for it.
Isn't this the episode that Adult Swim had the screamer attached to the promo for it a while back?
>yfw next year they show Miguzi instead of Toonami with Totally Spies and Code Lyoko
>thread grinds to a halt when Cleveland Show is on
How was Home Movies ratings cancer and not Cleveland Show?
>>81326540
How terrible
>>81326542
Niggers love it
>>81326542
Seth fanboys run deep
Gotta admit, as disappointing as this was, it's been a pretty comfy ride
>>81326542
aint no niggas watchin the cleveland show
>>81326531
Nope this will be shown
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_j28y2S4IyA
then Cartoon Network will start up and you'll question why you spent 10 hours expecting absolutely nothing
the joke will be thatthe AS logo doesn't go away at 6
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kbbA9BhCTko
black screen????
Well boys
To everyone that hung on to the last show I applaud you
Let's watch this KotH and be proud we made it this far
welp, here we are
king of the hill
>it's a Peggy episode
>>81326615
I was thinking that earlier but then quickly dismissed it though. Imagine if AS did continue for the rest of the day though? That'd be pretty wild.
>>81326650
Truly, we are the April fools
So, literally nothing, huh?
Well, at least I don't feel bad for not finding a good AS stream.
Speaking of which, where's a good place to watch AS?
[adult swim]is your enemy.
>>81326655
That would piss me off because I want to go to sleep but I'd have to stay up and see what happens
>>81326665
I'm west coast and been here all night
stream 4
http://www.stream2watch.co/live-now/live-tv/us/cartoon-network-live-stream
>>81326665
Google Cartoon Network stream. Enter one of those toxic and ugly websites with dead mirrors and a fucking UK stream that has neved died before.
Look for the one with Adult swim and hope your luck is on your side and that its cable owner doesn't have a dead roku device
a good place to watch as is having cable..
>Haruhi announced for Toonami during pre-flight
>this saturday starts off with the endless eight arc
>dale ruins her birthday immediately
Fucking beautiful
>>81326669
>yfw they show this again
oh god I now see how annoying this phon commercial is
I honestly don't get why the prank is nothing because that doesn't generate interest in any way. Adult Swim doesn't make any buzz by doing nothing, it's just boring. I'm sure way more people tuned out than if they did something else. Here's hoping they have something saved for tomorrow.
>>81326715
Why did we ever think those wide heads and far apart eyes ever looked good?
>>81326698
What if you're a beaner like me?
Streams have always been a necessity for me, ever since Regular Show's orginal premiere, to be exact.
Heck, I used to record the promotional material and upload it to YouTube with shitty quality. My channel makes me cringe, though.
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0T4K8xhhRMQXC0K0rkPxIg
>>81326698
Damn, you sure showed me.
>>81326751
It wouldn't make sense to do a prank on April 2
they blew it, they fucking blew it, just hope they actually do something next yearif they even do it next year
>>81326742what's this about
>>81326764
Actually, I just found the FMA episode with farts on my liked videos.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pBcUDH-InYQ
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_PMab-SGgY
>>81326779
IDK, some creepypasta people made up because they were scared of this sign-off back in the day
>>81326792
>blocked in my country
April Fool's???
>>81326779
>cucked by funimation
>>81326835
>>81326805
just found a page where you can download that video but it's only 8 minutes
8 minutes left, who's still here?
fucking hell they better do something fucking spectacular within the next 10 minutes or else
FIVE
MORE
MINUTES
WHY AM I STILL AWAKE
5 minutes.
>>81326898
THE DAWN IS YOUR ENEMY
NOTHING

>>81326865
I found the complete one a long time ago, but it's in one many DVDs at home. I'm on college right now, so your best luck is Google right now.
rip in fucking peace everyone's expectations
Don't worry bros
The REAL prank will start tonight
Believe in Adult Swim
TRUST DEMARCO
Adult Swim was the last thing in this life I trusted, and now that trust is gone. brb an heroing
>>81326929
the prank is that we were born
>its still april fools for 18 hours
>still have another adult swim to look forward too
>even the anime flight show some people talk about
>folks talking about the end of the block as a whole
>happy april fooly cooly everyone
>>81326929
Accept it, this prank is done.
HERE IT COMES
http://youtu.be/vyPkuPhBK5E
Be proud. We made it, we wasted our entire night waiting for something, anything. But there was nothing. It was a long ride, but goddamn it was comfy. See you next year, if adult swim is even still doing April Fools jokes.
Anons,
[go to bed]
THE ABSOLUTE MADMEN
rip
welp, g'night/day everyone
Can someone kill themselves and write in their suicide note that this was the reason? That'll show AS.
10 hours for nothing
welp it was fun while it lasted
WOW!it's fucking nothing
maybe tonight's block will have the joke.
>>81326971
Yeah.
It surprised me we got to 3 threads with nothing to talk about...
DeMarco wouldn't toy with us like this
Would he?
>>81326599
I hate being right
April Fool's jokes are supposed to be funny.
>>81326998
No they aren't.
>>81326998
did you find 24 hours of Saved by the Bell funny?
April Fool's Day stopped being fun when fucking corporations got involved
AFD SOLD OUT
>>81327006
For like 2 minutes
>>81326369
FLCL probably took a lot of money to make it happen, and now AS has nothing to show for their other shit.
They shit on their anime block for years, and now it's the only thing people tune into AS for nowadays.
>>81326998
Not really, AS pranks are usually just weird and amusing
goodnight guys
>>81326913
>look for it
>see this
>"serious" anime
man, 10 years ago tonight since that episode aired. fuuuuuuuck
>>81327017
>It's not funny when the prank is on me!
>like 3 different tweets on the AS twitter over the past couple days more or less saying they arent doing anything
>that recent bump telling people to tune in
Those heartless monsters. I just don't seem to understand anything.
>>81327019
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNJXfsGKfjA
>>81327006
funnier than this
>>81327006
>decide to wiki this
>get caught up in fucking wikilinks
>end up reading about Dustin Diamond's arrest and lashing out at the other cast members
FUCKING WIKI
>>81327071
Holy shit Saved by the Bell went all the way up to the year 2000
If Jojo Part 4 wasn't airing today, I'd be crying myself to sleep right now.
I remember the first ever cartoon network April fools joke 24 hours of a screwy the squirrel cartoon. I was about 10 and it scared the shit out of me. never even thought that it was April fools till the network told everyone to stop calling the network offices. good shit.
OPEN UP YOU DEATH DAY PRESENT
IT'S A BOX OF FUCKING NOTHING
>>81326025
>[nothing]
>soundtrack is replaced by the Seinfeld opening on loop
remember the farting that year?
Whose fucking idea was it to do literally nothing?
What do they think? We're gonna think "Oh haha, the joke is that there wasn't a joke"?
Even stupid shit like adding fart noises, that couldn't have taken more than an hour tops to set up, that was still funny. But they just decided to spend 5 minutes making advertisements for literally nothing. And for what? To annoy people? As if, somehow, doing literally nothing would make people stay more than actually doing something?
>Advertise the prank
>Do nothing
>Get em good and riled up
>Do something that next night instead
Come on guys.
>>81328064
...Do you have a clip of that scene from that April Fools Day broadcast?
For laughs, ha ha
>4chan's prank is actually pretty funny
>adult swim has nothing
I'm conflicted.
>>81328064
>>81329677
Did this actually happen
>>81325903
>Boston burning
Wait...was the April Fool's Day joke this year really that there was no April Fool's Day joke this year?
>>81329797
Not only that there was no joke this year, but that they kept reminding us about old ones. And that it was "coming up next".
>>81329746
It did, though I didn't get to watch it. They just added in fart noises to all their shows that night, both cartoons and anime.
>>81329746
It did, with a bunch of shows.unfortunately the Major didn't show her big fat ass in the episode
It would've been better if they aired this in a loop as a prank, it would not make sense but at least that would've been SOMETHING!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4xd8fzk8Rlk
Slightly off-topic, but I wish they'd do a modern hillbilly Mountain Dew commercial instead of that PuppyMonkeyBaby garbage. It'd be closer to Mountain Dew's actual consumer base.
>>81329988
Yeah, the episode of GitS that got the fart treatment was the episode of the blind girl in the wheelchair that Batou basically stalked.
>Batou let out a long fart
>"Who's there?!" the blind girl hollered out
>AND THERE WAS NO REPLY!
The most meta prank of all NOTHING.
