What are they going to do this year? Do you think Smiling Friends ending is a part of this year's joke?
World premiere of the Grinning Associates
I hope Smiling Friends comes back. I enjoyed its irreverent hijinks. Good night.
i'm ready
6 and its rick and morty related again
>>153039862the room but redubbed in rick and morty voices with the new season first looks
comcast moved adult swim to a premium package because it's the only cable network worth watching so i haven't been able to watch it in monthshow will i watch the april fools prank
>>153040660TVpass.org stream to VLC
>>153040660they usually the spoil the prank on social media a few hours before it happens. they stream it on yt ahead of tv time too
>>153039862bumpStream: https://turnerlive.warnermediacdn.com/hls/live/2023183/aseast/noslate/VIDEO_1_5128000.m3u8Hope someone is recording tonight.
>>153039862The only great pranks were the Toonami ones
>>153040660So what does CN air at night if AS is locked behind premium?
>>153039862We already know it's a surprised premiere of the "final" 2 episodes of Smiling Friends with the reveal it's not actually canceled.
I love her.
>>153040426They really spammed Reddit & Morty pranks the last few years, could use some variety
>>153039862It probably won't be as good as the older ones
>>153041078I'm glad this garbage killed the series. This shit was just going to fester and it was already overtaking normal threads or any interest in the show itself because of attention whores.
>>153041049We've got 3 years before the next Toonami prank (assuming Toonami will survive until then, but stranger things have happened.
>>153039862But what would 4chan's prank be this year? it's been ten years since /cock/ and /mlpol/
>>153041049Agreed
>>153041063CN is also premium, can't watch either one anymore because they're the same networki've been using comedy central as background noise but it's nowhere near as good
>>153041238>it's been ten years since /cock/ and /mlpol/No that's next year, this year is the 10th anniversary of Google+ names and the search for Anthony Burch.
>>153041049I liked [as] Jr.
>>153041238does everyone still get really gay during april fools? i remember that being a thing
>>153041049I actually liked the 2020 night of premieres desu. It was fun to watch with /co/ even if they weren't all hits
>>153041347>the search for Anthony Burchi remember the google+ thing but not this
>>153041049I'm not a big fan of most anime so I disagree
>>153040660I cut the cable as soon as they removed CN again.They tried right before corona, but reverted that plan right as lockdowns happened.
>>153041238Either AI crap since they missed last year's prank with the whole basedjack thing
>>153041342you can't watch cartoon network on basic cable anymore? wow tv is fucked all around
>>153041401Now that I remember that was more of a /v/ thing, everyone on that board was rolling for that name.
>>153041194Waaaah waaaaahhhh
>>153041078Based
>>153041397>plague of madnessI won't call it a good year, but damn, that alone makes it impossible to hate.
>>153039862I will take anything over another Rick and Morty stunt, i stared at this last yearhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JvNnwHPubiA&pp=ygUbYXByaWwgZm9vbHMgYWR1bHQgc3dpbSAyMDI1
>>153041411Gay
>>153041468Most modern anime is annoying. Older anime is really good
>>153041049ok weeb
>>153041421Huh, an AI filter that changes some words like DESU but ramped up to 10 could be fun. Asshole to dummy, fuck to frick... I see the vision.
Stewie Kills Lois is a good episode but Lois Kills Stewie is a better one
>>153041421AI was 2 years ago
>>153041489lois kills stewie has a huge plot hole, which is that once stewie becomes president of the world he's no longer holding the world's power plants hostage so they should just be able to kill himif he had a dead man's switch in place then lois killing him would actually have been a bad thing so that can't be the casetotal blunder on the part of the writing staff, really
>>153041512yeah but for AS, 4chan never did an AI prank iirc.
>>153041527I don't blame you for not remembering 4chan-GPT, that was the most nothingburger prank they've ever done.
Name two years 4chan had a good April Fools prank.
>>153041549The Reddit one was kino
>>153041549Board MergerEaster Teams
>>153041549Team Mini, Team Vanilla etcBoard Mergersthose are literally just the first 2 that come to mind, theres at least 2 more decent ones
>>153041549Am I the only one who liked last year's prank? Well until they ruined the text but hey old /b/ was back for a tiny bit.
>>153041549Board Merger was amazing and they just need to do it again. Nobody is going to complain. I don't need to see a trove of shit like >>153041544 said.>>153041602I thought the year they allowed emojis was funny
April Fool's jokes that make the site unusable (Like last year's DOGE one) are fucking dogshit.
>>153041628The funny thing is that just two weeks later the site was unusable once again.
>>153041628AFD usually makes the site unusable no matter what.
>>153041674Exactly.
Reopen Williams StreetCancel all the current slopBring back all the good showsDump a helicopter load of horse manure on Mike Lazzo's bleach rotted head
>>153041397random premieres are always a genuinely good time, like when [as] ran every show they ever aired and just picked their favorite episode for each show to air that night.
>>153041544i remember that this happened but not what it was
>>153041628Honestly, the year of merging boards really was the best we'll ever have it.
It's supposed to annoy/piss off people right?Marathon of Tuca & Bertie, Birdgirl, and Oh My God, Yes.
>>153041685Mike Lazzo is the only reason we got seven seasons of Venture Bros. I forgive literally everything else because of that.
>>153039862I just want another pilots night...
>>153041549The stock market one was fun, the rest were annoying
>Sears is doing pretty wellwas this accurate at the time? I'm sad now :(
>>153039862Tickle U takeover but with the mascots swearing
>>153041754kek I watched this episode earlier and had the same thought and feeling, how depressing. I suppose Malls were still doing kind of okay.
>>153041703That would be showing self-awareness that their main audiencebase hates shit like that.
>>153041421last year was Incursions happening where boards died left and right, the basedjack stuff didn't happen until a few days later
>smiling friends at 12am and beyondbrews.........
>>153041697There was a random chance a post would get a “powered by 4chan-GPT” signature, but that was it. The post itself didn’t change, and nothing else happened.
>>153041725I want ballmastrz to return
>>153041754damn..
>>153041725Just a night of premieres, that'd be kino
Is there a stream at all? Last couple years they had one on YouTube but I don't see anything.
>>153041852https://turnerlive.warnermediacdn.com/hls/live/2023183/aseast/noslate/VIDEO_1_5128000.m3u8
number one........number two
>>153039862The Room but dubbed by Zach and Cusack
>>153041861vlc freezes every 10 min :(
>>153041861This is region-locked, isn't it?I remember there was an anon who always streamed Adult Swim during April Fools, that was before Adult Swim started doing the job for him. I wonder if he's still around, probably not though.
>>153039862Every single /co/ schizo getting pilots.
>>153041810oh right, I remember we spent a little bit trying to figure out what was different on the 4chan-GPT posts before we realized that literally nothing was different
>cheesecake to grab your attentionDo we know what timezone adult swim runs on? As in, do they consider April Fool's Day as starting at midnight EST? PST? Something gay like UTC?
>>153041999EST since they're based in Atlanta
>>153041884just use MPV
>>153041714why do people hate lazzo again other than him putting a few shows out to pasture[as] has zero personality these days and clearly no one worth a damn wants to work under the new managementI don't even know why they do these pranks anymore
>>153039862I'm more worried about what the faggots in charge of this site will do considering last year
>>153041238Sharty hacking the site again, this time for good
>>153040426They already revealed S9 so I don’t think that’s it
>>153039862fucking rick and morty before the big prank feels like torture
>>153041871>Hey Tomar what would you do if I walked in and was mumbling to myself about not hitting someone and angrily threw a water bottle on the ground with the most passionate fury you’d ever seen, and then said ‘oh hi Tomar’ what would you say next
>>153042084>I guess I would just say 'hi' back or something
>>153042066if something finally happens id be happy
>>153041474>modern anime is annoying >likes one note joke old shit
>>153042092>Aren’t you concerned about my mental state of affairs, Tomar? I mean you’ve always known me as a great funny guy with his life together who’s always up to toss the football around, isn’t this behavior unusual?
>>153041685Lazzo was the one giving you the good shows. He is the one who said women weren’t funny. Once he was gone, we got Birdgirl
>lol rick is op and always wins and is never in any real threatthis sucks
>>153041754Yea, at this point in time Sears still had a dominant hold on the market. Malls were still huge
>>153042123Nah he pushed all that stupid crap for two decades and cancelled any based show he didn't get.
>>153041999Prank happens in 48 minutes
please someone stream it, the m3u8 link doesn't work :(
holy crap lois
>>153042039People just didn’t appreciate how much shit he was allowing to slip by and only focused on the handful of shows he (rightfully) cancelled
>>153042039>>153041714He's also the reason Rick & Morty became the fart sniffing cringe fest it is now
>>153042128Later seasons dial him down a lot, almost too far where he seems strangely inept
>>153042155ever heard of a television, dingbat?
>>153042163Lazzo had no involvement tin Rick and Morty besides greenlighting it. Dan Harmon is the reason it sucks.
>>153042197Who the hell has cable in 2026
how long do the pranks usually lastim getting eepy
>>153041685Lazzo was a polarizing figure but Adult Swim is significantly worse without him.
I'll take anything as long as it's not another Rick and Morty prank.Happy April Fool's Day, /co/.
>>153042163No he isn't. The writers and the pretentious fandom stroking their egos did that.
Online schedule indicates this prank is only gonna be 30 minutes long so keep your expectations in check
>>153042039>>153041714Maybe it was someone else but as far as I know he wanted the absolute garbage FLCL continuations.
>>153042170Gotta mitigate that the series is named after 2 male main characters by making him more of a pansy, getting beaten up by his toddler daughter(s) while he's feeble and cries, and being dissected by a female self-inserter therapist. Went from one extreme to somehow finding a worse one on the opposite side.
>>153042273you're thinking of demarco
>>153042209People with jobs.
>>153042276pickle rick was season 3
>>153042291Ah thank you, been out of the Toonami loop for a real long time.
>>153042223They used to last 6 hours. These days we're lucky if we get a single full hour.
>>153042291Lazzo wanted it too. FLCL and Cowboy Bebop are 2 of the few anime he actually likes.
>>153042296And it progressively got worse from there and they used that as a springboard for the rest of what happened.
>>153042320how come weebs place all of the blame onto the western producers when the japanese studios facilitated it that new show by the bebop guy looked like it had a good budget. hell, even if it didnt, they still could've... wrote a good show?
>Playing the dragonfucker episode of Rick and MortyI thought they were doing a Smiling Friends marathon before midnight?
>>153041725that would imply that they've greenlit a ton of new shows which they likely haven't. Maybe Smiling Friends ending will light a fire under their ass thought.or maybe they'll respond with 10 more seasons of R&M instead.
>>153042368>playing one of the worst episodes before midnightHow much do you wanna bet this is part of the prank
>>153042386AS doesn't consider any episode of Rick and Morty bad.
>>153042320Impossible, Lazzo was already out years before the first FLCL sequels
>>153041238Nothing could be worse than the year the literal ONLY change was the CHANCE of a post having a tag saying it was "AI." So boring and phoned in.Last year was fun and a big redemption. For those who weren't here, the boards slowly but surely were "condemned" until /b/ was all that was left. Some didn't like it but I say it was fun seeing boards both clash and cooperate with one another. For the first time in years, the Random board was ACTUALLY RANDOM, and not just porn and racism. It was actually fun for once.I have an idea - A "reboot" of 4chan that essentially parodies reboots and revivals and the stereotypes given to modern entertainment. The site has overly simple minimalist UI, posts have a chance of being altered to be peppered with shitty quips. The vidya board would have an extensive tutorial, /ck/ could ban any post about stuff that's not gluten-free/vegan/keto, Worksafe GIFs could have a TikTok UI. It would suck, but it would be a FUN suck...poor choice of words on that last bit...
>>153042367Because for FLCL, the rights to them was stolen by Production IG, who only ever wanted to smear diarrhea on the series. Lazarus was just dogshit, but we already had evidence Watanabe was slipping so that’s not really a surprise
>>153042368It’s after midnight, once the prank airs
>>153042424yeah but tsurumaki and anno arent sacred cows anymore, so that factoid means jack shitnothing can stop it from existing, but if their hands were on it, it probably would've been worse
>>153041628Last year was great, it was just board mergers on a site-wide scale, with everyone gradually being forced to interact with one another.>BUT MY SUPER SPECIAL AWESOME THREAD GOT DELETED! REEEEEE!Get the fuck over it.
>>153042449>>153042449poor mans mlpol
So there won't be a YouTube stream this year? Interesting.
>>153042353season 3 was the start of rick being invincible, you have no idea what you're talking about
>>153042424>Lazarus was just dogshitNot true, it was just extremely mediocre. It's like a 5/10 show that totally blew its budget on a couple of pretty good chase scenes in the first few episodes.
>>153041238I'm keeping my fingers crossed for another teams-based prank like the Candy Teams from a few years back. That competition fueled more memes in 24 hours than most boards pump out in a year.Ride or die for Team Mini
>>153041078What was this chick's deal again?
>>153042372It’s too late to greenlight shit, that needed to happen years ago
>>153042460He kept going to that therapist and that's part of his little "getting better" arc that correlates to him being whipped.
>>153042405>muh racismsgo back
>>153042498you are a tourist
>>153042478The attention whoring over drawfagging for this was insufferable to the point of drama and femanons posting themselves and their socials. The less opportunity for people to act like that here the better.
I'm sitting on the floor ass naked, fully erect, blasting Darkthrone, eating chocolate chip cookies and drinking milk right now.
>>153042100maybe (You) should watch more stuff
jesus christ this episode is painfully unfunny
I have never watched Rick and Morty before today, is it usually this obnoxious?
>>153042529>jesus christ this show is painfully unfunnyftfy
>>153042534After the first season, yeah.
>>153042534yes
>>153042534Not as obnoxious as my stereo!
>>153042534This is generally considered one of the top 5 worst
>>153042534>>153042529is it the dragon episode? that's like top 5 worst episodes
Merge the boards . Merge the boards!
>>153042548lol yup
PibGODS is tonight our night?
>>153042534Before season 3, no. But kind of. It's always been a bit overrated.
Ok, so why could the cat talk?
>>153042506been here longer than you, niggerfaggot
My guide has the upcoming Smiling Friends episode written in all capital letters.
>>153042558Here is how Pibby can still win
>>153042573trying too hard to fit in
It's gonna be the Moral Orel movie
when are they going to start the youtube stream
What bullshit are we doing this time?
>>153042558Pibby is boring bullshit
>>153042588Penis inspection day
>>153042588The Rick and Morty season premiere
>>153042575What's the name?
New Home Movies season starts now!
honestly don't care if there's no 4chan prank, too much shit going on anymore to have fungenuinely what can you do other than make fun of the files or some other political shit
turn your TV on, they are showing hellbenders
>no streamI-I'm sure the prank will be some underwhelming bullshit anyway...
>>153042582Fuck you for putting that thought in my head, I’m gonna be disappointed no matter what it is now
>>153042598It's the title. It's written as SMILING FRIENDS.
Dread it. Run from it. A Rick and Morty Prank still arrives.
>>153041027any other streams? this one is not working for me
>>153042582I heard the voice actress for Orel was up for it and the script was done. I really want it to happen
there's a link in this threadyou must have passed ithint hint
GUYS THE ADULT SWIM PRANK JUST FLEW OVER MY HOUSE
>>153042622It's region locked
If you're a smiling friends fan, get lost. Right now. Shoo.
What's the 4chan joke?
>>153042582Saw a tranny with a Moral Orel shirt today. Told them it was cool.
>>153042635to what region?
>>153042614tvpass
>>153042635take a plane
>oh whats the prank this y-oh
What's this clay crap?
So no Smiling Friends?
honestly was expecting a quick smiling friends fakeout
reply with what the prank is so I don’t have to look through this thread
Wut
more claykino
What is this slop
Are they just dumping their shitty pilots again?
Oh what the fuck is this? More stupid shit 4 years in a row?
what the fuck
What the fuck is this
The fuck is this?
>>153042653this nigga thought
>>153042481Shitty coomerbait trying to piggy back on an already stale trend
>no smiling friend surpriseITS OVER
is this a pilot
the fuck is this?
At least no one predicted this
Is this that movie that Smiling friends were watching in that halloween episode?
This guy could use a smile
I liked the train video from a few years back.
Eh, it's something new at least
>>153042403FLCL sequels were 2018. He left 2020.
what’s the 4chan prank
Lol
this looks like a shittier version of The Shivering Truth
When do the last 2 smiling friends specials play?
prob a night if premieres, this first premiere looks dumb af no matter what
This is a fake-out. it'll cut to Pim and Charlie watching this in the breakroom.... right?
>>153042693the prank is, that theres not a prank!
>>153042661I would take something like this even if I'm not interested, over the women re-enacting Rick and Morty memes prank.
>>153042679https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tAWFO8_O_7MShe's live right now.
>DO NOT OPEN - GHOSTS INSIDE>opens itso is he retarded?
>>153042693There is no prank lmao GET EPICALLY TROLLED SON
>>153042676Oh yeah you're right, this is the claymation flick from the witch episode
>>153042700lol
>>153042534I have no clue if the first two seasons hold up as much as they did when I was 15 but they pass at least by just being funny without trying to be diet Bojack Horseman. Season 3 and everything after turned out really bad by trying to “explain” Rick’s character to you like you’re braindead and having no direction for where the show actually should go. I have not heard anything substantial about the “plot” the show has had since the season 2 and 3 finales besides Beth’s apocalypse universe counterpart, so they’ve just been running on fumes since then it seems.
Did that subtitle at the beginning say "chapter 3"? What the fuck is this part of?
>>153042701This is it. You’re watching it right now.
>>153042709but ghosts can go through things
This is far more annoying than it is scary.
>>153042721which is why you should never let them out of their box
>>153042693It always takes a little bit for the 4chan prank to show itself, it's usually a slow burn
>>153042676>>153042714That's exactly what I was thinking.
>>153042638AI hamster
Not every british person who makes stop motion is the fucking Wallace and Gromit guy, stop giving these fuckers money.
>>153042718it's a Lee Hardcastle filmhardly a prank
How long is this? It’s already getting tedious
>>153042738What does that mean?
i thought it was an arcade cabinet not a pinball machine
>>153042732Not really, most of the time the change occurs during midnight
Rest in pieces Smiling Friends
You guys are tripping this is awesome.
>>153042718Spook Train, looking it up on YouTube, the last one of these came out like 6 years ago. So maybe the prank this year is just a bunch of new indie short films.
>>153042718Probably the preview of a new series. This is episode 3.
>>153042755true
>>153039862Would be a comfy time if they just marathoned Cowboy Bebop. Probably won't.
>>153042755It's cool, but how is it a prank?
>PRANK??? PRANK???? BRO PRANK? WHERES THE PRANK????It's gotta suck when they decide to show pilots for a year and despite the precedent for it people are underwhelmedeven though smiling friends originated from one of those types of years
>>153042721ghosts operate under super vampire logic most of the time where they're stuck in a single area
>>153042766they've done this before where they just release a random episode of something
>>153042757That's what I'm thinking it is, too.Hopefully not for too long. I'm getting too old for this shit.
Where's this going?
>>153042767doesn’t help that this is low quality claymation
Lee Hardcastle rules, some of you are just plebs of the highest order
>pinball>joystickliterally unwatchable
>>153042775It’s not over yet, 23 hours left to do a press release.
finally some hardcastle kino
>>153042704I still believe.......
When do they play The Room?
>>153042767I'd be more interested if it wasn't ugly horror claymation in April. The only time I'd have the tolerance for this was if I was really trying to get myself into the Halloween spirit. Otherwise, I love claymation but I don't care for this specific ugly style nor horror usually. I'd hope there's more variety tonight and it's not just this.
>adult swim is some shitty claymation short>4chan has no prankIt's over... another dud year... see you all in 365 days.
If they wanted some ridiculous blood splatters they could've just shown Elfen Lied with The Room-sized black bars
>>153042788https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLCvvtzJNc1TClRwfPro3tb319Sy65F-KV
smiling friends bros…it’s fucking over…
Polybius ass machine.
4chan's prank is the most brutal most metal prank there isNOTHING
I don't expect the SF ending announcement to be a prank, but I admit when the night started on a white circle zooming closer, I thought it'd be a Smiling Friends smiley face. If nothing more a fakeo
Holy shit
lol
ok it’s done
>OH THAT WAS PRETTY GOODOH FUCK
THERE IT IS
AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH
What if he becomes the spinning alien at the beginning of the pilot?Also check the captcha lol
the prank is the smiling guys reacting to stuff!!! wow!!!
>>153042813Copying Adult Swim's 2016 prank I see
AHAHAAHAHAHAHAHA ok not bad
Oh great, they're they are.
IT'S JUST THE HALLOWEEN EPISODE LMAO
lmao
Cool show but lame if this supposed to be the "prank".
>the rest of the episode plays like normal
I knew that was how it was gonna end lmao>inb4 we get Lukas the Magnificent on AS
I didn't watch season 3 yet is this just the episode now
>>153042733CALLED IT
>>153042800 hereAPRIL FOOLS IS SAVED YIPEEE
Oh, so is that what they were watching on the TV in this episode? That's actually a pretty good prank.
>>153042845yes
>>153042704
Smiling Friends' Halloween Special: Extended Edition. i see.
I'm just waiting for this place's prank.
>>153042855i wonder if we're going to get the dancing aliens or the ham documentary next
>>153042581ok candyass roodypoo
that was cool, I wonder if there are more any things tonight
>>153042865it's already happening
>>153042764How is that a prank dumbass
You're not gonna be the flashlight bitch, right anons?
>>153042853very meta, like they actually produced it with the expectation the short would be repurposed.
Is the pattern gonna be pilot or new indie thing/rest of Halloween episode edited in for the rest of the night?
TestThe 4chan prank is funni captchas
>>153042853I just went back and watched it, that is the short they used.
Will they show up?
>>153042886but I use a 4chan pass...
>>153042886Got longcat
>cartoon network's schedule is an episode of sailor moon, then looney tunes for 10 hours followed by an episode of courage before adult swimwhat the fuck
It would be cool if they showed the extended versions of other shorts/shows featured on the kitchen tv. I'd love to see more of former governor of Minnesota Jesse Ventura's interview from the Mole Man episode.
>>153042871i hope there are more any things
I don't care enough about smiling friends to watch this shitwhere's pibby?
>>153042892no
>>153042892The forced waifuslop is shit
>>153042886Is that really the prank? I get the usual captchas with 4chan-X
>>153042886this better not be real
>>153042909fuck you, dolly is perfect
>>153042910same
>that was just a prank!Full circle!
>>153042899I hope that's it, and the joke isn't literally this.
>>153042886Really?
>>153042897Decent prank
>>153042919noapril fools :)
hi rape man
>>153042876NTA but in the early 2000s they played the "Read Or Die" OVA series on loop, it wasn't funny but the series never aired again after that
Deadass forgot Pyramid Head was in this one
This is all your fault Anon!
>>153042932The best one was when they played Mind Game subbed.
>>153042915Perfectly garbage, it's a shitty ripoff of a bit that already wore out its welcome with a shitty design that appeals to no one but the most bottom feeder of waifushitters.
>>153042902Pibby was knockoff spookypasta crap I’m glad it died
>>15304288I don't know
With how the last few years have went we'll probably just go back to the normal schedule after this episode ends.
This prank sucks.
Smiling Fremz
>>153042919>>153042928Yes I'm trying to get another one. The first one I got was asking what the c in /int/'s /cum/ stood for.
>>153042955Pibby would have been a shitty series. Every episode would be the same.
Nice prank adult swim, 4chan
that was a really good halloween special
Is it okay if you still suck it tonight?
https://mega.nz/file/Z91TBQKY#fzRMFWLh9AEy-E8Csy8_c1q1LwT8faxyM7sN_gV1oo0mega here, now I can sleep
>>153042958Fuck off with your strikethrough reply, Image Dump Fag!
THAT BETTER NOT BE IT I WILL BE VERY UPSET
>>153042951Gay.
uhh
Bump for Smiling Friends ending.
>smiling friends ending adlol
>>153042981Such a lame joke. Feels like some shit Lyle would write.
yeah the show isn't cancelledthe prank was obvious
>>153042973It was a shitty prank tho
>Is this going to be the Brazilian thing?hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
>stay goldBRUH
> smiling friends prank> smiling friends ending bumpthis is actually raising chances the "ending" is a fakeout.
I was right
>>153042998That is interesting they specifically have the awareness to use that line.
Stay Gold
>>153042988The only fags here are ones with shit taste like yours
That’s it?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZC6bb9YcvBU
>Stay GoldNice refernce
>>153042998>>153043005I was really starting to think the show was over.Now I don't know what to believe...
>>153042892Fuck them
Nigga was that it?
>Song lyrics are saying to please let us know if this is itlmao
>>153043021with pleasure~!
So was that the entire prank, or is there more?
>>153043017That’s what I thought too
>>153043031>>153043025there is no possible way to know right now
>>153042897Better than the average schedule but I don’t know why they don’t try pranks like Adult Swim does
>>153043016They better release Season 2 and 3 blurays and have this on there as the Extended Edition of Pim Kills Everyone or whatever the episode is called. Pim Abuse Episode
I really thought that commercial said fucked up energy
>>153043005I'm sorry, but I think it's really overGood night, Smiling Friends
>>153043040They played over the boss flying away on rocket shoes. It was intentional.
>>153043005Anyone else notice that ad had "fake"/cut/edited scenes in it?
https://www.animationmagazine.net/2026/03/artist-lee-hardcastle-talks-about-that-surprise-april-fools-smiling-friends-short-on-adult-swim/
Is that shot of Boss reclining saying "we don't have to work anymore" to Pim from one of the upcoming episodes? I don't remember it.>normal marathon now
>>153043046that would've been EDGY wouldn't it have, hmm? who's an edgy boy? who's an edgy wedgy boyo, hmmmm? youuuuuuuu are! YOU ARE! want a cookie?
That's it.
>you call this a prank despite the fact that it was just reruns of old episodes
More boring reruns, bleh.
It's so over.
>>153043062They have 2 episodes left, could be from one of those
was that the whole prank, or is there more? cmon i wanna sleep
>regular episode nowSo that was really it? Was that the shortest prank they've ever done? Unless they have something planned for tomorrows's broadcast?
>>153043062a few short clips from the upcoming episodes including fat allan
So it was just the full Lee Hardcastle short followed by an unedited Smiling Friends marathon?Kinda lame.
>thats it?Yes, the current state of Adult Swim in 2026. Why is anyone shocked?
i like that the closed captions say (Allan Red humming)who the fuck captions his entire name
Will this be the CoolAutisticGamer cut?
isn't there still an unusually long upcoming episode in the TV schedule
>>153043060this has to be a jokethe show isn't overnew's outlets don't write like this
>>153043082wasn't last year just the rick and morty theater sketch
>>153043082They did a 30 minute prank last year too. Seems to be the new norm
>>153043099That's the only thing that could save this.
>>153043082>Was that the shortest prank they've ever done?The shortest prank they did was the one where an ATHF bumper told the viewer that "They missed the prank" and just aired the regular schedule
Too much Mr Boss this season
>>153043060Weird to see an interview done prior to the prank going public. Anyway it shows it was [as]'s idea to do this and not Zach and Michael apparently. Also him only having 3 months to do this entire 11 minute claymation short sounds part for the course lately, they keep last minute planning their pranks and then the people involved say "there wasn't much time, that's why the jr prank was so short... :("At least this seemingly has the excuse of them doing it quickly when Z&M backed out of the show and they needed something.
>>153043101There's a 30-minute time slot, but it's just a repeat of the joke.
>>153043117they'll fix it in the next season
>>153043101No, they fixed that a couple days ago so that only the midnight episode was long
>>153043107Yeah, but that was a half-hour. This one was a quarter-hour.
>>153043125>>153043123ohit's so fucking over I guess
We're shaping up for a big nothing.
>>153043059There’s still two episodes left for season 3 that got their descriptions leaked and announced, something about a robot I think and one about Charlie’s Uncle. Not saying the prank couldn’t be that, honestly my bet is that faking the show ending is still the prank but those are real episodes we just haven’t seen yet
Yea I’m not watching a marathon for nothing, if they do anything else I guess I’ll catch it in the morning
>>153043122the [as] jr prank was fine considering it was stealth promoting(?) the new movies.
>>153043099People were so obsessed with the waifu autism that they didn't see people who animated for SF come out and say they worked on the autistic gamer stuff too. So I'm surprised if they just don't incorporate it into an [as] april fools night like right now. Everyone already was told it was an inside joke but no one even saw it because dude brazil girl fat ass i'm brown??
What was the Weird Willies' problem?
>>153043150They're weird.
>>153043105>denial
>>153043142They said those will be the last two episodes unless they come back for specials. Whether the cancelation is a prank or not, the episodes are coming on the 12th.
>>153043082>Was that the shortest prank they've ever done?If you don't count the year where they did Nothing.
>>153043142>faking the show ending is the prankNow is the time for that payoff. It doesn’t make any sense to keep the lie going beyond tonight
>>153043114They didn't even show a bumper. They just didn't do a prank that year.
Charlie should've offered to take him for some fast food or something.
>>153043146AS Jr didn’t promote shit, it was one episode of R&M dubbed with kids
>>153043110The one last year was actually 30 minutes. This was 15, tops.
>>153043172it was ATHF too
>>153043172There was a joke-censored ATHF episode too
Damn, I hoped it would switch to the autistic gamer ending.
>not even the autistic gamer cuti mean i guess don't overdo the joke by airing it on tv but... ok
if the ending of this ep isnt changed at all, it's officially over
what have i missed so far
yo guys it's me, Charlie.
boy they really dont have anymore of a budget huh. did the cancellation of the streams really hit the channel hard?
>>153043199the entire prank
>>153043188>>153043190Good, everyone theorizing that it was done by crew members was annoying as fuck.
>>153043094I didn't even realize that I missed 2025's April Fools until I saw people talking about it in this thread.God, it is so fucking over. Oh fuck. The new 4chan prank is an even more annoying new Captcha.
>normal bumpers now and everythingwelp. the full length addition to what they were watching on tv was a cool idea but, eh
Reminder that they aired Rick and Morty Season 3 premiere over and over again the night after some bullshit happened the night before. There's always a chance something will happen tomorrow night too if this is it.
they should've gotten an AI to come up with a prank idea
GODDAMN That new voice You can tell so easily still. Its insane.
It's gonna be a random "AI assistant" assigned to posting
>>153043210It literally was, you retards just missed the part where animators on the show talked about it because you were too busy flooding any Smiling Friends threads with brown brazil ass pictures and crying at how tragic she is.
>>153043114To be fair, the actual prank was the sneak peeks from the night before and they did play the Aqua Teen movie the night of those bumpers as well
>>153043221the season 3 premiere was aired instead of samurai jack and pissed people off
>>153043216I'd say the pibby prank was still worse for whatever that's worth
>>153043205TV in general is doing fairly shitty but WB is also still reeling from their last merger and has yet another one on the horizon that will only make things even worse.
Yeah, prank over
Toonami chads stay winning
no more pranksits over.
>>153043243>and has yet another one on the horizonwhy do we even have antitrust laws if they aren't enforced?
>>153043234>you retards just missed the part where animators on the show talked about itpost the proofs>because you were too busy flooding any Smiling Friends threads with brown brazil ass pictures and crying at how tragic she isHey, I don't like TCAG but Dolly is even worse.
>turn off 4chanx>normal captchaswow great prank
>>153043240It at least affected more than one thing. I will say I liked this one a bit better though. When I saw Lee Hardcastle I expected something more depressing since his shit is usually fucking miserable but it was kind of fun.
>>153043263it's like a rare pokemonyou gotta post to get it
i don get it
>>153042965
it had a good run
Personal schizo take: The Rick and Morty stage play bit last year didn't do numbers like inspected, so they reeled in the budget this year.
This 4chin prank better be funny.......
>>153043250Based
whys everyone talking about captchas they're the same for me :v
Gēmusetto Machu Picchu was the last good prank they did. Watching that with you guys until 6am was some of the most fun I've ever had.
April Fool’s day is ruined.What’s are the odds 4chan and Adult Swim doing nothing on the same year?
>>153043287occasionally you get a captcha that's about board knowledge, that is the prank this year
i stayed awake for this shit? i have to wake up in just a few hours for sailor moonwaste of time
>>153043263Wait, is that really the 4chan prank?
>>153043294too bad the second season sucked ass
I literally just got some fill in the blank question for the captcha, that's the prank.
>>153043280Dildo noses in those plushies, some dirty girl could use them as sex toys
>>153043294was that just tumblr perfect hair forever i remember seeing an episode where they play tennis and it bored the shit out of methe last good year was probably the year they stealth premiered SF, but i remember not liking it at the time. i liked jj valard's thing, though
>>153043294It wasn't exactly a prank but the very next year in 2020 had a fuck ton of great stealth premiers and kinda ruined the expectations for all future pranks
>>153043250Yeh
>>153043280RIP
>>153043328the entire thing was tennis, except for the parts that had nothing to do with tennis
>>153043328>but i remember not liking it at the time. i liked jj valard's thing, thoughFucking how? That thing was awful.
>>153043062full preview clipped here:https://www.x.com/swimpedia/status/2039197413693428029
>>153043328>i remember seeing an episode where they play tennis and it bored the shit out of meIt doesn't really work as individual episodes. You had to experience it live as a 6-hour epic.
>>153043309>board knowledgeThe one I got was that meme Doro thing from that one phone game.
>>153043294to be fair, I don't really remember this prank.
I dunno this is kinda underwhelming. No offense
>>153043323Cute Bocchi
>>153043294The part where the creator said he wanted the entire series uploaded to porn sites, and then gave an example of the username that would comment on the video saying "i really like this"lives in my head rent free. The fact it was uploaded to porn sites too fucking sends me
>>153043294I liked the Toonami prank where they aired every single show in Japanese, they should do a similar prank for regular Adult Swim and just air shows with overseas dubs
There will come a year we don't even speculate about this sort of thing anymore.
>>153042886Nothing.
alright since this year was kind of shit, what was the BEST and WORST april fools prank for [as]?>besti thought either the athf prank or toonami one was the best>worstprobably the one when they did literally nothing one year
>>153043321I'm still getting random shapes.
Yay, we barely got an April Fools prank but we got Rooster Fighter and more Rick and Morty!
>>153043396>probably the one when they did literally nothing one yearThat was at least a prank. The Rick and Morty that only lasted 30 minutes is the worst.
>>153043350I could somewhat see the sappy "this is almost the end" tone for a promo after that announcement, even if it wasn't that long ago, but it is interesting how there's multiple lines that can be associated to what's happened and that they used them for this>Smiling Friends is over!>Is this going to be like the Brazil thing where it's a fakeout?>This sucks now, I quit (creative burnout)>I cannot afford to lose my job right now (based on the "this was so sudden" controversy and people looking for other work)Like this is definitely the type of tongue in cheek promo you'd expect out of a "we were just joking" reveal. I still don't lean one way or the other, I just think the specific tone of this promo is interesting.
>>153043383Anything would be better than the last couple of years
>>153043424at least with the rick and morty one there was SOMETHING even if it was a massive pile of shit
>>153043282The issue is they don’t need a budget. One year they edited in fart sounds to the normal shows, a good prank doesn’t have to come with a huge bill
>April Fools for AS have become shit you’d find on DVD extrasFuck it, I don’t mind it and CN killed once Paramount buys WB
>>153043463kinohttps://youtu.be/PA1vMe-vjMg
>lame as fuck adult swim prank>lame as fuck 4chan prankapril fools used to be fun man
>>153043470Things getting more corporate is why the pranks started sucking more and more in the first place
4u
>>153043086That's not Allan but yeah, definitely another unseen clip.Is the one of Pim tossing and turning in his bed from an old episode? I don't instantly recognize it."we don't have to work anymore" and potentially that scene with pim in bed seems like the one about the robot doing their job.
>>153043454Did you forget when they showed The Room three times in a row?
Nu-AS is suck fucking trash. Literally 15 minutes of claymation, cool prank. Even if this was a pilot drop like some anons thought, at least that'd be SOMETHING. Looks like 4chan's prank sucks too, fuck this gay earth.
The app I was watching it on suddenly went low-pitch as soon as the claymation short ended. Did anybody else get that?
>>153043501Yeah, sometimes I wonder if the ruling class is making everything suck just to see when people will snap
>>153043480Best part about the ones from this era is they are basically lost media outside of goofball clips like this where someone got out a handheld camera and poorly recorded a couple minutes. It was an event, you either were there or you weren’t
>>153043396>bestEither the Toonami one, the one where they stealth premiered like 10 shows in 2020, or Bushworld Adventures>worstOf course the nothing one or all the other zero effort ones where they just added coins or mustaches and shit. Personally I felt like the Adult Swim Junior and Pibby ones were such huge disappointments they'd easily be at my bottom as well.
>>153043496Those had more effort put into them tho: >In 2009, Adult Swim aired The Room, a critically panned 2003 independent film that was considered a cult classic, with sex scenes obscured with black boxes and with a TV-14 rating. It was followed by the Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! episode "Tommy", which featured the star and director of the film Tommy Wiseau. >In 2010, Adult Swim re-aired The Room for a second year in a row, with bumps featuring Tommy Wiseau being interviewed on Space Ghost Coast to Coast. Sex scenes remained censored, but the parental rating was raised to TV-MA. >In 2011, The Room was aired once again with the TV-MA rating and was followed by a 15-minute special titled Earth Ghost, a CGI version of the Lowe Country pilot shown on Adult Swim's website in 2007.
>>153043496Twice. The third time it cut about a minute in to Toonami. Well, TOM was watching it still
>>153043526Damn, you're right. Adult Swim just doesn't give a fuck anymore. It was over after Lazzo left.
>>153043517I have the full ghost in the shell one in good quality. i think it was from the internet archive
Was the mole episode proof they were getting bored of the show?
>>153043496didnt they have bumpers of tommy being interviewed by space ghost as well?
Missed opportunity to not have Moleman call Charlie and Pim his comfort characters.
>>153043480This is when AS actually had balls. Doing this very nearly caused them to lose the rights to FMA and the other anime they were airing because the Japanese distributor was NOT happy. But they didn’t give a fuck and told Japan to fuck off and learn to laugh and nothing actually happened aside from them having a good time
>>153043561I loved that episode tho
The heights of 2017 have not been reached since. It had been over 18 months since the season 2 finale, this was the absolute height before the fall.
>>153043564really?
>>153043526I think tonight would've been on par with something like the first 2 or a bit higher if they kept the trend up of airing full versions of stuff the SF gang had been seen watching on their TV. Like someone said before, a full version of the fat guys battling for ham, the jesse ventura puppet thing, that'd have been interesting enough. Starting with the horror one worked because not everyone immediately realized it was the same thing. Then you could move on to the more obvious ones.
>>153043494I'm guessing that's Charlie's Uncle.
>>153043589Would 2017 have been funny if it didn’t cause Jack fan seethe? Seems like a pretty shit prank that was saved by circumstance of the day April 1 landed on
>>153043564I'd be curious to see info on this because when that prank is mentioned I have wondered what the logistics of airing anime messed up like that would be. Even if you butcher stuff, censor, or do weird dub things there's usually an understanding about it. They would've had the license for airing that stuff normally and it always made me wonder if they got permission or did it on their own.
>>153043561Yeah
>>153043105What about this is throwing you off? The news outlet is just writing what the person said.
>>153043561They didn't get bored, they lost actual creativity over most of the show and saw the writing on the wall.
>>153043618>>153043591They didn’t get permission to make the edits which was the main issue. Of course, had they asked, they would have been told no. So they just did it. Keep in mind this was in 2004 where you could kinda fuck around and get away with it. If they tried something like that today with their current anime licenses they would be drowning in legal cases
>>153043564That was when Mike Lazzo was with Adult Swim, he didn't always make the best decisions but he had balls.
>>153043613>random unrelated design>generic over the top "asshole" plot if soI'd hope not. I'd want an actual bit of payoff. Hopefully this just comes from the robot episode and is what pushes them or at least Charlie into accepting a robot dealing with the shit they put up with.
>>153043653The final 2 episodes are part of the season 3 order, unless they decided over a year ago to end the series, they won’t come off as a series finale, they will just be like any other episode
>>153043396>BestThe classic Toonami one was just a nice surprise. A real feel good prank for people that grew up during the era.I am also fond of that time they casually showed an episode or two of every new show that they were premiering over the next year or so without any fanfare.
Is Mothman really such a lame cryptid?
>>153043672I know, I just mean payoff to Charlie's uncle existing.
>>153043481>lame as fuck 4chan prank>What's the prank? I don't notice anythingI was writing that and noticed the prank when I tried to post. It's actually way better than the currect captcha and should stay like this
So what was the prank?
>>153043346i like that punk comix style, i dunnosue me
>>153043790thishttps://youtu.be/ZC6bb9YcvBUand a smiling friends marathon
>>153043346Fairy tales has a good pilot and the rest of the show is awful just like everything JJ does. I would never let him do a full series because he just stops trying once he has the contract
>>153043346It had its moments.
>>1530435892012 and 2018 were better.
>>153043823No special bumpers? Fucking gay one of the worst years since Nothing TM
>>153043834Every year is the worst year since Nothing.
>>153043834>>153043849In retrospective the nothing prank was pretty funny, a well executed anti-joke than ended up being better than the half-assed pranks we've gotten in the last few years.
>>153043834>No special bumpers?just a commercial for the finale of smiling friends
>>153043877Surely they wouldn't have put that song in there if it wasn't a fakeout... right?
>>153043874No it wasn't it was just lazy reddit tier humor. Erm we didn't do our job because that is funny. The pilot was okay, but didn't not warrant an April fools should have just been on smalls.>>153043877So lame yesterday was a shitty day and I do this every year since the mustache one so very disappointed the 4chan one sucks too makes me feel genuine seethe for the corporate nature of our cowardly world
>>153043834Nothing. Ever. HAPPENS.
>>153043932To be fair, that was in 2016 before nu-AS went to complete shit. Before Lazzo left, before even World Peace premiered.
Adult Swim wonders why they're losing ratings? This is why.
dumb
>>153044011i feel like they still have the "fuck you we're [adult swim]" mentality. like this would be funny like 10-15 years ago when they still were actually kind of successful
>>153044011For real I am one of their die hards and I am pissed I am going to see Dethklok on their tour soon
Just looping now?
>>153043832Retarded weeb take
>>153044121As is tradition for all April fools since 2021
>>153044042Like I said already in the thread, AS lost Mike Lazzo and Adult swim was his baby. The new guy doesn't give a fuck and AS is trying to be as brand-safe as possible in the current year. That's really all there is to it.
>>153044136Just surprised since they skipped Glep's episode, and since it's a marathon, I figured they would've padded it with season 1 and 2.
>>153044124Reddit take
Okay, that scare face was funny.
man this thread ended on a wet fart
should have done haha you clowns puppet episodes
>>153041549I like board merger and coof.
>>153043877is there a link to that one?
