Whether you feel the pandemic is over or not, it’s undeniable that this past year and a half has shown the reach one could have by broadcasting a live performance onto the interwebs.

That’s probably part of why the Adult Swim Festival is doing another virtual edition that will feature the same sort of treasured collection of performers it would have in person, but from the convenience of YouTube (and HBO Max). Just over a month from now, you can, for free, tune into “never-before-seen” live performances form the likes of such Adult Swim comedy darlings as Jo Firestone, Joe Pera, Rick & Morty, Negin Farsad, Squidbillies, and Aqua Teen Hunger Force. We have no doubt they’ll add more to the line-up as Thurs. Nov. 11th & Fri. Nov. 12th comes closer.

With that in mind, set a reminder to tune into this year’s virtual Adult Swim Festival and all its weird and wondrous virtual glory here.

Adult Swim Has Ordered Four Spin-Offs from Its Most Beloved Series (Rick & Morty, Robot Chicken, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, and Your Pretty Face Is Going to Hell)

In a sweeping move, Adult Swim, which is still operating on late night hours on Cartoon Network, and then massively online and throughout streaming services afterwards, their latest round of series orders are spin-offs. For the majority of their programming, Adult Swim has been fiercely dedicated to original programming that would very likely not have a home anywhere else (at least until the ascent of Netflix and, as of late, FX’s foray into animation).

So, announced this week, Adult Swim has bestowed series orders on The Vindicators (Rick & Morty’s satirical version of The Avengers), Alabama Jackson (a spin-off from the Robot Chicken Universe), Aquadonk Side Pieces (the lives of the lesser and other characters of Aqua Teen Hunger Force) and an animated version of Your Pretty Face Is Going to Hell.

It should stand as a testament to how truly prolific Adult Swim is with a slate full of new darkly comedic (or, in some cases, horrific) animated series in addition to these four spin-offs (we’re personally excited to see how far The Vindicators is going to skewer the MCU, DCEU, and whatever else universe sourced from popular IP of any kind).

We’re sure that the continued troubles of in-person, live action production during the pandemic (which, again, isn’t over) has further encouraged a focus on animation rather than shooting shows and movies with real people and that helps in this case too.

While there were impromptu celebration at the official downfall of ego-maniacal Captain Planet villain Trump, there are more celebrations of all kinds to be had this month. The COVID-19 pandemic is still going on, so something like a big comedy and music festival is still going to be virtual. Yet, Adult Swim has tapped their resources and connections for what should be a pretty spectacular virtual shindig. Also, they’ve been live-streaming for quite some time, well before COVID hit, so don’t be surprised if they have a few tricks up their sleeves.

Today, they just announced their full line-up, which includes live-streams from Rick and Morty, The Eric Andre Show, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Tuca & Bertie and live-chat watch-alongs of Space Ghost: Coast 2 Coast, Three Busy Debras, Metalocalypse, and, as you can see above, so much more.

Best of all, Adult Swim Festival will all be free to stream on YouTube, right here, this Fri. Nov. 13th and Sat. Nov. 14th.

For your convenience, here’s the schedule:

After 13 seasons of a world where sentient fast food and humans can be friends, Adult Swim’s Aqua Teen Hunger Force is coming to its swan song.

Fortunately, renowned American singer-songwriter Patti Smith made an actual song Aqua Teen Dream that’s a kind of beautiful way to send them, them being Meatwad, Master Shake, and Frylock, off.

You’re going to want to probably rearrange your binge watching or just make more time for it altogether.

Hulu has just signed a big deal with Turner Broadcasting that will give them exclusive online streaming rights to a whole bunch of series from Adult Swim and Cartoon Network.

You’ll get to stream episodes and full seasons of anything from Adventure Time to Robot Chicken to Dexter’s Laboratory to Aqua Teen Hunger Force to Black Jesus to NTSF:SD:SUV to The Venture Brothers to Rick and Morty and way more.

On top of that, the deal includes some live action series from the TBS and TNT, which will include the upcoming Angie Tribeca from Steve and Nancy Carell. 

All of this starts next week on May 1st. The only thing better than this announcement would be if they got Will Forte as Ted Turner to announce it live somewhere.
