Adult Swim/Cartoon Network bumpers & promos - December, 2002

This is the 8th (and final, for now) of my collection of bumpers, promos, and commercials that aired during Adult Swim broadcasts, this time from December, 2002. More specifically, these are what aired immediately before and after episodes of "The Brak Show", "Aqua Teen Hunger Force", "Sealab 2021" and "Space Ghost: Coast to Coast" (from my personal collection of VHS recordings). This collection also includes promos/commercials for regular Cartoon Network and Toonami (back then, Cartoon Network was more willing to cross promote for their other programming blocks).
I don't have full commercial breaks, but there's enough here to find of interest. And this certainly gives you an idea of what Adult Swim was like in December of 2002.
This was a period of experimentation for Adult Swim, with them airing a lot of substitute series (like "The Ripping Friends").This was also the final days of the "old people swimming" bumpers, which they stopped using in January 2003, as Adult Swim made the switch over to weeknights (Sunday through Thursday).
I personally found it harder to keep up with new episodes of these shows during the weeknight era - I still watched them, but I stopped religiously recording them onto VHS, so these are the last of my "Adult Swim Comedy" recordings from this era...but I do have some "Adult Swim Action" material that I'll look to upload hopefully before too long.
Included here:
1. Adult Swim block promo (featuring The Brak Show, The Ripping Friends, Sealab 2021, and Aqua Teen Hunger Force)
2. Aqua Teen Hunger Force "new episode" promo
3. Sealab 2021 "new episode" promo
4. Aqua Teen Hunger Force "new episode" promo
5. Adult Swim programming block promo (featuring The Brak Show, Space Ghost, Sealab 2021, The Ripping Friends, and Aqua Teen Hunger Force).
6. "Adult Swim Action" block promo - now including Inuyasha AND Gundam 0080: "War in the Pocket" (the first time broadcast since it was a Midnight Run exclusive back in November 2001)!
7. The Brak Show "Tonight" quick bumper
8. The Ripping Friends "uncut premiere" promo
9. Adult Swim quick bumper
10. Aqua Teen Hunger Force "new episode" promo
11. The Ripping Friends "uncut premiere" promo
12. Adult Swim bumper ("No Diving in an Empty Pool!")
13. Aqua Teen Hunger Force "new episode" promo (a Christmas episode!)
14. "Adult Swim's New Year's Eve Bash!" promo - featuring Brak and Carl!
15. "The Sims Online" commercial
16. Futurama promo (coming "Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursdays" in January to Adult Swim!)
17. Adult Swim's New Year's Eve Bash promo (duplicate, sorry)
18. "Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack" feature film promo (this movie would end up being the final broadcast of "Adult Swim Action" on Saturdays nights, for a year or two)
19. Adult Swim quick bumper
20. The classic "M&M's meet Santa!" commercial
21. Adult Swim New Year's Eve Bash segment (featuring Carl and a clip from Futurama)
22. Futurama promo ("starting next Sunday!")
23. Samurai Jack series promo (now airing "weeknights at 10!")
Yes, those last 3 or 4 aired on December 31st, 2002. I wish I had captured more of those "New Year's Eve Bash" segments.
More Cartoon Network stuff to come soon!

Appreciate you leaving everything as it was aired in all your videos dude, there is a zeitgeist to it all can only be realized by watching the promos and ads in order as they were originally presented.
