* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: "Hair" managed to air a [[http://vimeo.com/10008482 short]] depicting real male and female pubic hair up close. While the episode was rated TV-MA, it's still a first for Adult Swim.
** "Words" Also got away with quite a lot for a plain TV-PG, with stuff like 2 cgi naked woman dancing and moaning while rubbing against each other (They're crotches weren't modeled and their boobs were censored by band-aids, but still), [[FreezeFrameBonus A 69 joke]] (Which usually bumps up the rating to a TV-14), someone's face melting off and the greenish mutilated corpse afterward, and a pair of cgi hands with bloody slits on their fingers. It's a wonder it got a TV-PG at all!
** The Dan Deacon USA special somehow got fairly graphic and UNCENSORED nudity on the air. Possibly escaped due to a loophole in that it's technically a music video, and thus escapes unscathed, but still.

I've seen Colors several times, and have yet to spot Zorak. He *did* recently appear in Clowns, though.
