1:20:30 this whole segment is actually really wholesome, seein a guy be a kid again. Just warms your heart realizing that nowadays that doesnt get to happen as much anymore
I'll be honest: this got me to watch Rick and Morty for the first time (the audience around it kinda put me off) Initial impressions; what a bizarre programme. Good show, but weird. Also it's weird to hear Elliot from Scrubs swear and stuff. This is like a tasting plate of adult swim shows!
Putting the highest rated SINGLE episodes of their highest rated shows to view online so we can see how “great their shows are” & wanna watch more, but not being able to aside from on very very rare occasions like this or if we buy more episodes? No hate, man, but this isnt really benevolent. Its just advertising dawg. And “give a little bit of the best our company has to offer for free so people will buy our product looking for more of that same experience, AND think we’re so nice” is a super common tactic in advertising/marketing.
@@GhostlyPhantome I hope there is some sort of announcement soon. I'd really like to see them unleash all this creativity on this concept. There is a lot of potential here.
The fact that the show basically waits to corrupt anything until you’ve basically forgotten anything’s wrong. I didn’t remember I wasn’t just watching a normal Rick and morty episode until morty did his thing.
It’s funny how some of these adult swim characters have experienced traumatic horrors, yet the glitch may be worse than any existential trauma they’ve experienced. Ironic.
It’s not for kids but at the same time is, you remember how good you felt watching shows you shouldn’t as a kid, i.e Wonder Showzen, Celebrity Deathmatch
Haven't had tv for a couple of years but I swear every streaming platform on the planet cannot compare to staying up late at night watching adultswim. I especially miss seeing the bumpers and the random music video or animation in commercial breaks
I really think they could charge for or include live broadcasts of their network on HBO Max. Older one's would be a special treat as well to be able to re experience.
You know, I’ve always been bothered by the fact that Rick, the smartest man in the universe, rather than write the names of all of the real people, just writes the number six.
Marketing genius. Makes you sit through shows you normally wouldn't watch so you can continue the overall storyline happening. So now you're invested in the new show while learning interest in these other shows as well.
@@jacked_asian very loosely, there is a children's TV show (that's not real) that somehow glitches into Adult Swim's network, and the glitch slowly corrupts the Adult Swim network while two characters from that children's show are stuck navigating and running from the glitch until the one is completely consumed by the glitch and the other one is lost still wandering. If you watch from start to finish like I did, each episode of each show has one or two short segments where something goes wrong. For example, when Morty points the gun at Rick's head during their episode, Morty glitches into a demonic-esque monster for a few seconds, and then the episode continues as normal. You can also see the two character's from the mock children's show often running in and out of scenes from the shows as well

Never watched anything including Joe Pera before, but I found it so deeply endearing. It's like watching the embodiment of a kid seeing a bird up close for the first time. The sense of wonder and discovery is portrayed so incredibly well that it makes me sympathise with him profoundly.
Joe was me when I first heard "Baba O Riely". Easter 2014 on Uncle Mike's Zune. 6th grade. The Who in the middle of nowhere with a door image. Windows 7 computer in the other room in CT. That opening really blew me away :)
I always would skip adult swim when i saw it on the guide until one time I woke up when it was playing and actually gave it a chance. I now love the show, you just need to give it a chance and realize it's not a typical surreal adult swim show.
I should expand on this comment since it sounds like i don't like the surreal stuff. I meant I would skip adult swim when I saw Joe Pera. If just about anything else was playing I'd watch it. But now I love adult swim, Joe Pera and all.
@@colleenflattery4755 was gonna mention this episode SPECIFICALLY, it was one of the few episodes I saw when it was first running and it has stuck with me for years. I've never empathized with any emotion more than his pure, unadulterated excitement to share a song everybody else already knew.
Libby Headcanon: master shake body is corrupted except his head would imagine what type of situation he’s going though when he lost control of his body but he can still talk to it.
I thank adult swim for making some of their most popular episodes free on youtube with a crazy edit and story ontop of it, very cool and respectful of them.
at a buffet, i personally sneak corndogs into the buffet so others can enjoy them. I hide 6 corndogs in my jacket pockets. it then, is a joy for me to see other patrons of the establishment eat my corndogs thinking they were part of the buffet.
yknow if you wanted to pirate the rest of the show, the creators Michael Cusack and Zach Hadel actually don't mind pirating, and Zach on the youtube videogame walkthrough show he appears on with Chris O'Neal he actually said he encourages people to pirate smiling friends
Morty getting glitched was really creepy and caught off guard. And to be honest, this may have been one of the best April Fools jokes they had pulled on Adult Swim.
My phone has been glitching for months due to an LCD issue-the glitching animation is so good that it blended quite well with my screen having a fit at one point. Definitely more immersive that way
The baba O'Reilly episode was great. It was a story about a sheltered man finding himself through music, and I loved every minute of it. His excitement is contagious, and It got me a little choked up, and I can't explain why.
in the state of the world, its easy to get blame for existing, dont take it, allow yerself to feel happy about the little things and ignore the dark glitch trying to infest your mind. If u watch AS stuff, then yer allready safe. That u felt a bit choked up, might just be, that it reminded you of the time u experienced the same thing about something. And my opinion is, its time for you to go out and find it again. But thats my gist of this special :P
To me it's the unfiltered embodiment of when you find a really good song, which in essence, is a pure feeling. Even if the song is a big heavy screamer or a slow indie song, it all feels like you entered a new era of your life.
up until this special I have never heard of Joe Pera. His bit was exceptionally wholesome, especially if you compare it to the shows that were shown before. Awesome show, great job!
I can't believe Adult Swim got me to watch shows that I'd normally skip. I also can't believe I was missing out on some great shows (now I'm going to watch them).
@@xaviercastillo746 Rick and Morty (I stayed away from originally because people wouldn't stop talking about it; glad I waited), Smiling Friends (hadn't heard of prior), Birdgirl (hadn't heard of prior), Eric Andre show (the bird skit was weird but the rest was fine), Joe Pera (hadn't heard of, unexpectedly wholesome; I kept for s**t to really hit the fan). I was already a fan of ATHF. I'll see what other shows Adult Swim has that I previously ignored.
That Morty thing was great, but I wasn't expecting to be emotional by the end of this ordeal with Joe Pera. Made me get into the show. If you haven't watched Joe Pera before, don't sleep on it. It's a wholesome show that could only be delivered by [as].
I can imagine some kid turning in the TV unknowingly to adult swim then Bon Bon shows up saying “Maybe we should let the darkness consume us” and then turning off the TV.
Ik it's been said but I love that Joe Pera was untouched that show and man is a wholesome gem in a very cynical time, I enjoy cynicism don't get me wrong but it's nice to see wholesome things from time to time
From freaking out stoners at 4 in the morning, to warping the insanity of everybody else on April 1st. We don't deserve the amazing people of Adult Swim...
It was thanks to this video that I first saw him and it stuck with me. I just wish I found out about it sooner, because I only now learned about his now canceled show.
The Darkness from what i know works on negative emotions, For example: morty turned corrupted in that one scene because he was experiencing lots of stress and despair, since Joe Pera is pure maybe the darkness couldn’t corrupt his show or him.
Joe Pera's sketch about Baba O'Riley is one of my favorite creative works of all time. Thanks Adult Swim for introducing me through this April Fool's event
Wow watching smiling friends and seeing mr godfrey, after his passing, reach out from heaven to save someone was actually touching… R.I.P. Gilford Godfrey
Adult Swim seems like such a fun channel to be a part of. I've been watching since the early 2000s and they've never dissapointed on April Fools Day lol Remember when they announced they'd be showing the Aqua Teen Movie on April Fools? And then they technically did but it was in a ridiculously small part of the screen while the rest of the normal programming played? God, I love these guys lol
6:52 I just realized that Mr. Poopybutthole having a real smartphone was our one indication that he wasn't a parasite. Doesn't gel with the rest of his motif, if he were a goofy gimmick character. Which he's not. He's... he's real 😢
I get the feeling nothing will come from there until there is more to work with. I only learned about it because of weird meme like videos my kid found, I went to find the origin and found myself a new rabbit hole and a show I'm eagerly awaiting.
"So, we're making a new show for adult swim, but we don't have any creative agency of our own. How do we get people to watch?" *Finger snaps* "I got it, we'll just steal other recognizable icons and put them in our show!" "Genius!"
The fact that they played the full episode of each show is epic. Plus the glitches, a true masterpiece Adult Swim. Thank you for that

I’ve never heard of Joe Pera tell me why am I crying rn watching the end with the music playing. Just so beautiful and pure
same!. it happends to me also when i hear a good catchy song and listened to it over and over again ❤️
The fact that noone's finished it yet so I know I'm watching this at the same time as literally everyone else is making this premiere even better.
…that’s just every premiere?
I Was Surprised When They Were In Rick and Morty, I Love That Show!
meh 14 years later i'm watching it in 2.0 speed because I just watched all the rick and morty episodes the other day
@@casedistorted I Honestly Thought They Were Gonna Do Other Shows Like The Boondocks, Robot Chicken, China, IL, And Much More!
Yeah, we have had this feeling a lot earlier. We even talked about the things we had seen with our friends afterwards. We called it 'tv'.
I thank adult swim for making some of their most popular episodes free on youtube with a crazy edit and story ontop of it, very cool and respectful of them.
This premiere is out of this world. Feel bad for all the people who missed this.

at a buffet, i personally sneak corndogs into the buffet so others can enjoy them. I hide 6 corndogs in my jacket pockets. it then, is a joy for me to see other patrons of the establishment eat my corndogs thinking they were part of the buffet.

The Eric Andre Show needs to be a weekly late night show on Adult Swim ASAP!!!
Frrrrr
Fr, people make jokes about waking up at 3 am and seeing Eric Andre but because of Eric Andre not being a weekly late night show that isn’t possible
it is a weekly late night show. it current on intentional hiatus (to make sure not a single celebrity remember it so he can really screw them)
I was going to say, it is isn't it?
You can easily ruin your favorite things by over indulging. There's a reason it's five seasons deep after ten years of being on the air.
The Joe Pera “Baba O’Riley” skit now lives rent-free in my head.
Same didnt know what the show was can say it was great
That was so pure.
Why did he have to diss the violin solo though?
Yup lol I hadn't seen the show before last night. I was just laying on my couch in the dark watching it and it was pretty hilarious 😂
Pov: You didn't know this special was about to premier, and you just took 2 tabs with your friends while watching adultswim.
The Eric Endre segment is like a "Where's Waldo" for trying to figure out what is different.
I laughed so badly when he just destroyed his entire set

yknow if you wanted to pirate the rest of the show, the creators Michael Cusack and Zach Hadel actually don't mind pirating, and Zach on the youtube videogame walkthrough show he appears on with Chris O'Neal he actually said he encourages people to pirate smiling friends
That and the hell toilet at 25:24 were amazing 😂
@@mbanger then stop crying
I ended up forgetting that these are edited episodes and I got slightly freaked out when the glitches began. Great work!
I feel so bad watching full episodes of these shows for free
Then I remember the actual adult swim channel posted them. Legends.
Morty getting glitched was really creepy and caught off guard. And to be honest, this may have been one of the best April Fools jokes they had pulled on Adult Swim.
My phone has been glitching for months due to an LCD issue-the glitching animation is so good that it blended quite well with my screen having a fit at one point. Definitely more immersive that way
I hope you can get it fixed soon
Scuse me while I bust my screen
ah yeS ThErE It Iz
Yeah lemme just throw my phone at the wall to get the full experience 😭
Friigin meta my guy
The baba O'Reilly episode was great. It was a story about a sheltered man finding himself through music, and I loved every minute of it. His excitement is contagious, and It got me a little choked up, and I can't explain why.
in the state of the world, its easy to get blame for existing, dont take it, allow yerself to feel happy about the little things and ignore the dark glitch trying to infest your mind. If u watch AS stuff, then yer allready safe. That u felt a bit choked up, might just be, that it reminded you of the time u experienced the same thing about something. And my opinion is, its time for you to go out and find it again. But thats my gist of this special :P
It like a perfectly capturing passion. And caffeine.:)
To me it's the unfiltered embodiment of when you find a really good song, which in essence, is a pure feeling. Even if the song is a big heavy screamer or a slow indie song, it all feels like you entered a new era of your life.
You get to witness a human experience, a happy and wholesome one
I think it encompasses everyones first time hearing The Who.
Smiling friends really is just PEAK newgrounds humor, glad adult swim greenlit it
up until this special I have never heard of Joe Pera. His bit was exceptionally wholesome, especially if you compare it to the shows that were shown before. Awesome show, great job!
Yeah Joe pera talks with you is one of my favorite shows, if you are planning to watch it I'd recommend Season 2.
reading this and learning that joe is in this is speechless
same with me dude
Same with birdgirl. It's both kinda woke and realy funny.
Joe Pera is the true MVP, I've loved him since I first saw "Joe Pera talks you to sleep."
I like how there's only like 2 glitches in Smiling Friends cause they couldn't find a way to make that show any more demented than it already is.
Most of the shows only had 2 glitches... so your point makes no sense.

What shows exactly?
@@xaviercastillo746 Rick and Morty (I stayed away from originally because people wouldn't stop talking about it; glad I waited), Smiling Friends (hadn't heard of prior), Birdgirl (hadn't heard of prior), Eric Andre show (the bird skit was weird but the rest was fine), Joe Pera (hadn't heard of, unexpectedly wholesome; I kept for s**t to really hit the fan).
I was already a fan of ATHF. I'll see what other shows Adult Swim has that I previously ignored.

Thank you Adult Swim. This really takes me back, love the bumpers.
That Morty thing was great, but I wasn't expecting to be emotional by the end of this ordeal with Joe Pera. Made me get into the show. If you haven't watched Joe Pera before, don't sleep on it. It's a wholesome show that could only be delivered by [as].
This episode of Joe is amazing! Wholesome as hell.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who felt that way. Just a good man discovering rock.
Why not [*ss]?
What about the thing where he helps you fall asleep can't they sleep on that?
I remember watching Adult Swim last night and catching all these moments. Never thought I'd see something like it in modern TV anymore
There’s always diamonds in the rough. Unfortunately we’re in the rough.
I can imagine some kid turning in the TV unknowingly to adult swim then Bon Bon shows up saying “Maybe we should let the darkness consume us” and then turning off the TV.
That's why we have Adult Swim. Other channels won't allow it. But Adult Swim doesn't care.
Stuff like this gives people the chance to ‘try’ the show out for free and see if they actually enjoy it, adult swim your legendary

It was thanks to this video that I first saw him and it stuck with me. I just wish I found out about it sooner, because I only now learned about his now canceled show.
@@0__Vector his podcast has more special guests than adult swim could get with WB money
So is Joe Pera the final boss the void can’t beat? Is he just too pure, is he going to be Pibby’s guidance?
If it can beat Scooby Doo, it can beat Joe, and I hate it
I love Scooby, I do not like this corruption idea lol....
@@SnowpawShaw That is a good (and depressing) counterpoint.
@@SnowpawShaw scooby isn’t as pure as Joe Pera
Maybe the glitch just isn't there during that show's air time?
The Darkness from what i know works on negative emotions, For example: morty turned corrupted in that one scene because he was experiencing lots of stress and despair, since Joe Pera is pure maybe the darkness couldn’t corrupt his show or him.
I don’t really watch anything on adult swim other than smiling friends but appreciate them as a company and the way they treat creators.
Watamote?
Hugely missing out tbh. Smiling friends is just a handful of episodes, so you really didn't crack Adult Swim open yet. Give it a try
More like mid friends lmao
My main Adult Swim watching is the entire Toonami block.
Not even Ricardo y Mortimer?
I hadn't seen Birdgirl before and I'm stoked for a Birdman spinoff even if I do miss the old animation style
Bird Girl premeries tomorrow so you're in luck
Didn't birdgirl get cancelled after season 1?
Joe Pera's sketch about Baba O'Riley is one of my favorite creative works of all time. Thanks Adult Swim for introducing me through this April Fool's event
I love how the darkness just envelops eric because he is too powerful to be controlled by it

Adult Swim seems like such a fun channel to be a part of. I've been watching since the early 2000s and they've never dissapointed on April Fools Day lol Remember when they announced they'd be showing the Aqua Teen Movie on April Fools? And then they technically did but it was in a ridiculously small part of the screen while the rest of the normal programming played? God, I love these guys lol

6:52 I just realized that Mr. Poopybutthole having a real smartphone was our one indication that he wasn't a parasite. Doesn't gel with the rest of his motif, if he were a goofy gimmick character. Which he's not. He's... he's real 😢
His flashback was also unpleasant by being stuck in the elevator
Can’t wait for Mat pat to make a 40 minute video about how all of this is connected

Well it is

I get the feeling nothing will come from there until there is more to work with. I only learned about it because of weird meme like videos my kid found, I went to find the origin and found myself a new rabbit hole and a show I'm eagerly awaiting.
