Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law, has shared its first look with Adult Swim! When Adult Swim first started experimenting with original programming, the programming block turned network made a huge mark early on by taking some of the Hanna-Barbera properties they had access to and twisting them in unexpected ways.

Birdman and the Galaxy Trio by turning him into an attorney at law.

Dark Humor is a docu-series looking at how Black Comedians integrate political humor into their routines.
Dark Humor, on Comedy Central YouTube, celebrates Black History Month. The series, a partnership with Color of Change, a progressive nonprofit civil rights advocacy organization, interviews various comedians from Roy Wood Jr to newer voice Sonia Denis.
Each episode discusses how black comedians navigate political humor into their routines. The comedians explain that for many, the Trump administration didn’t increase their political awareness but helped them lean into societal disparities. Black comedians have always been political, and some are more upfront in your face, as can be seen via veteran Eddie Griffin’s comedy.
