* In October 2014 they aired [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QrGrOK8oZG8 this]] with no prior advertising. ''Series/TooManyCooks'' starts out as a parody of sitcom intros featuring large families a la FullHouse with Adult Swim's typical absurdity, but turns into some of the most violent and nightmarish imagery ever seen on the network. The horror starts around the 4-minute mark.

** "Fartcopter" is about a sinister CreepyChild who becomes obsessed with a toy called "Fartcopter", which is pretty much ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin, leading his family to stage an intervention. The kid appears to reform his ways. [[spoiler:He then proceeds to murder his entire family with a fart noise so intense it causes their internal organs to explode.]] Sweet dreams!

* ''[[http://www.adultswim.com/videos/king-star-king/ King Star King]]'' is 11 minutes of concentrated Adult Swim nightmare fuel. BodyHorror? Check. Sadistic gory violence? Check. Ugly, nonsensical animation that moves at a breathless pace? Check. To put this in perspective, Adult Swim originally released the series online because they considered the series ''too much for them to air''. [[HypocriticalHumor It made its television debut a month later.]]
