Yeah? Good. Here then are some of the most hilarious jokes and moments from Adult Swim’s history...

Charlie from Smiling Friends warned you. He said he’d punch you if you did that again. That’s on you.

On Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law, Birdman attempts to prove evolution by using a powerful trump card: Magilla Gorilla.

On The Brak Show, Brak’s Dad got a job selling ice cream, and things got weird. Like more weird than you could imagine.

Poor Grandpa knew Mr. Pickles wasn’t as good of a dog as everyone thought. However, some things shouldn’t be explored.

Black Dynamite had his version of The Wizard of Oz or a “Black version of The Wiz,” complete with meeting his Fairy Godfather: James Brown.

Listen, we’ve all been Grandad at one point or another. If not, we’ll get old and eventually become him. Hopefully, we’ll be less stressed out. Not likely, though.

How could you not imitate the good doctor when you’re at a party with a rousing, “Who wants PIZZA ROOOOOOLLS?” with as much pomp and circumstance as possible.

Calvin & Hobbes is a celebration of imagination; however, the folks at Robot Chicken explored what would happen if that imagination got out of hand. SPOILER: It’s bloody as hell.

While Rick and Morty has witty jokes and deep plots, in terms of hilarity, few shows have as many jokes per second than when the main characters sit down to watch Interdimensional Cable. Gazorpazorpfield alone makes it a top bit on this list.

While Space Ghost kickstarted this whole Adult Swim thing, one of the most memorable moments on the show was when his former pro wrestler grandfather Leonard Ghostal took over to host and interviewed Raven-Symoné. And this is before mentioning that he’s voiced by Macho Man Randy Savage.

You’ll wish you had less fun! Now with a free order of cookie bread!

While there are several hilarious characters and moments in Aqua Teen Hunger Force, the Mooninites are arguably the peak of them. With their robotic speech, odd crude dialogue and ability to merge to form a gun that shoots the slowest bullet of all time, this duo truly shows why the moon rules.
