Rick and Morty is not only one of the best animated comedy series around. It’s one of the best shows on television in league with the most celebrated, decorated hour long dramas.

Sure, it’s hilarious, but Rick and Morty also uses its ultra-clever, sharp sense of humor to delve as deep into the human condition as it possibly can go. While not filled with as many dramatic moments as BoJack Horseman, creators Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland examine existential crises with an equally deft hand.

One Will Schoder points this out in his video essay on Rick and Morty-Finding Meaning in Life. After watching it, you might appreciate Rick and Morty even more.

In Honor of C. Martin Croker, Adult Swim Puts Almost Every Episode of Space Ghost Coast To Coast Online for Free

RIP the voice of Zorak and Moltar.

One of the many precursors to the Adult Swim that so many of us know and love now was Cartoon Network’s Space Ghost Coast to Coast. The off-beat animated talk show with cartoon super heroes and villains set in space helped spark the weird fire that grew into the Adult Swim corner of Cartoon Network.

Unfortunately, animator and voice actor C. Martin Croker recently passed and Adult Swim wanted to honor his legacy by putting nearly the entire series of Space Ghost Coast to Coast online here.

If you somehow needed a reason to binge watch Space Ghost, you certainly have one now.

Singer/songwriter Father John Misty often has wry humor worked into his song lyrics, but sometimes you wouldn’t notice because of his calming voice and beautiful melodies and hooks.

Thanks to an animated music video on Brad Neely’s Harg Nallin’ Sclopio Peepio, that wry humor gets highlighted the way it deserves to be.

Watch This Is America with Father John Misty here.

Adult Swim Wants You to Watch and Rate Their New Pilots: Apollo Gauntlet, Hindenburg Explodes, Hot Streets, Bad Guys

Following Amazon’s pilot model, Adult Swim has put four of the pilots they’ve had in development, Apollo Gauntlet, Hindenburg Explodes, Hot Streets, and Bad Guys, online for you, the Internet to weigh in.

Of course, it being Adult Swim, your options in feedback are limited to five arcade game style buttons labeled “laugh”, “kill this”, “fart”, “tomatoes”, and “skwisgaard”.

We’re just glad that networks are letting the general public get to see pilots more and more.

“Rick and Morty” Improvised a Mini-Episode for New York Magazine

It’s apparently going to be some more time of an undetermined amount (our least favorite kind) before brand new Rick & Morty comes out.

However, creators Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon along with Spencer Grammer, the voice of Summer, and writer Ryan Ridley all improvised a “mini-episode” (sans animation because, well, animation takes awhile, OK?) amidst a chat with New York Magazine.

Watch and enjoy, especially Roiland effortlessly switching between the voices of both Rick and Morty, here.

Prepare Yourself for Season 4 Premiere of The Eric Andre Show Season 4 Tonight at Midnight

The madness, chaos, abstraction, and utter absurdity of the talk show format that is The Eric Andre Show all return for season 4 on Adult Swim tonight at midnight.

If his RNC/DNC appearances and Rapper Warrior Ninja are any indicator, you should definitely be strapping yourself in for one hell of a season yet again.

Adult Swim Redoes Insane “State of Georgia vs. Denver Fenton Allen” Courtroom Exchange with ‘Rick & Morty’

adult swim, courtroom exchange, denver fenton allen, georgia vs denver fenton allen, justin roiland, rick and morty, state of georgia, versus

Earlier this year, a judge in Georgia had one of the most heated, expletive laced exchanges with a defendant that has probably ever been on record in a court of law. Murder threats, sexual demands, and more are traded between defendant Denver Fenton Allen over first trying to get a different attorney.

It was such an insane back-and-forth that it actually sounds more reasonable when the voices of Rick and Morty are used.

So, Adult Swim took the transcripts and word-for-word did the whole scene with Justin Roiland’s voice talents with some courtroom sketches of Rick and Morty.

Watch it all here.

“Rapper Warrior Ninja” Is The Eric Andre Show’s Version of American Ninja Warrior

What might the popular physical feat competition show America Ninja Warrior be like after fed through the filter of The Eric Andre Show, you ask?

Well, it’ll be rappers freestyling while blindfolded and attempting to deal with obstacles that are more, shall we say, “messed up” than they are physically demanding.

See what we’re saying by watching Rapper Warrior Ninja here.

Eric Andre Tried Going to DNC Even Though His Press Credentials Were Revoked

Well, since his press credentials were revoked from what The Eric Andre Show pulled at the RNC, Eric Andre and crew went near the Democratic National Convention and were desperate to do anything to get press credentials.

Still, Andre managed to do his thing near the DNC and, at least, got to cause the disruption they were looking for.

The Eric Andre Show Season 4 Teaser Shows No Signs of Slowing the Insanity Down

While Adult Swim reaches a specific audiences, it’s kind of amazing to think that any actual guest that goes on The Eric Andre Show wouldn’t know what they’re in for.

Yet, this teaser for the latest season shows that is very much the case and that the same bombastic, absurdist comedy the show is known for will keep on rolling.

Look for the season 4 premiere of The Eric Andre Show on Friday, August 5th at midnight on Adult Swim.

Watch Eric Andre Troll Alex Jones, Convention Goers, and Everyone Else at the RNC

adult swim, alex jones, eric andre, republican national convention, rnc, the eric andre show

Everyone in comedy seems to be focused on or actually in Cleveland for the Republican National Convention.

That includes Adult Swim’s own meta talk show parody mad man Eric Andre.

Andre went through the RNC and conducted himself with business as usual in being as absurd as possible. Such highlights of Eric’s visit include actually interrupting controversial radio host Alex Jones during a speech and introducing convention goers to “Peppercorn Bing Bong”.

Note how this all seems less crazy than Trump, Giuliani’s speech, Chris Christie’s “guilty” chant, etc.

If you’re really sad about Chlidrens Hospital ending, you can be a little less sad now.

Announced today, Adult Swim has just ordered a brand new comedy pilot from Rob Corddry that follows those aboard the infamous Hindenburg on its disastrous voyage back in 1937.

The pilot will be in Adult Swim’s 15 minute format and, we’re sure, really out there in the best way possible.

Hopefully, this’ll get picked up in some way, shape, or form, just so we can what Rob has concocted based off one of the most recognizable disasters of all time.
