Right off the bat, I have to give props to the folks over at
Adult Swim. They’ve been coming up with over-the-top pranks for April 1st for years. From airing the cinematic masterpiece that is
The Room (multiple times), to that year where they fooled us all by not having a prank at all, you can tell that they’re trying to do something legitimately entertaining.
This year’s gag is one of my favorites, if not my absolute favorite, as they revealed their campaign for
Adult Swim Junior. This kid-friendly programming block lets children get back into the pool, so go away, pesky adults! You’d think it’d be a marathon the likes of Baby Kermit and friends, and, well, it kinda is … except with their adult animation block. They actually took the time to show off their shows, but now, all the characters are children, so much so that Harvey Birdman is a junior associate instead of a full-fledged attorney at law.
