Adult Swim Cancelled Their Best Show Too Soon 

" Adult Swim Cancelled Their Best Show Too Soon" comprises a good 70% of their programming history.

I remember the Warden truly made this show IMPRESSIVE to me, due to how well he was animated and how "flamboyant" he was, he really commanded the scenes.

TikTokers would love this show with their short attention span

If it were an episode that showed bittersweet wholesomenes, and that was the episode: "That girl named Cancer" Epileptic, and then suddenly, out of nowhere, you get hit in the stomach with a softball bat...

I remember finding this show sometime around 2018, and just bingewatching the entire series. Theres not many shows that get as experimental as Superjail. I'm still saddened at the fact that it never went past 4 seasons, and that there isn't more attention surrounding it. Thanks for putting a spotlight on this good ass show dude

awesome video! I honestly got to know so many cool shows through you! literally without your channel I wouldn't have known half of the shows out there! thank you

This is my favorite show of all time. The way it breaks down the human condition without even considering stopping to pause to think about what they just went over is insanely good to me.

superjail is awesome but the biggest part of what kept me coming was the animation style in the pilot and the first season. The animation has so much impact. I can't explain it but the first season feels like people who had little experience with traditional animation wanting to make something move and feel super alive without using the traditional regular techniques. The perspective is all sorts of messed up, the characters are always off-model, and everything snaps to the keyframes super hard but that's what makes it so awesome to look at, it's literally unlike any animation you've ever seen before. I never got around to finishing the show, the plots are good but the animation from season 2 forward was a bit disappointing. I might actually get around to finishing it because of this vid

WTH is this clickbait? It wasn't Adult Swim's call to make, the creators of the show cancelled the show because it's a lot of work. You've got to remember that halfway through Superjails airtime Christ Karacas started working on Robotomy for Cartoon Network, and both of these shows are animated frame-by-frame with lots of detail.

Character ranking 1. Ash 2. Warden 3. Jared 4. The gays 5. The twins 6. Jailbot 7. Alice 8. The doctor 9. Turban 10. Jackknife

Now you mentioned the world war 2 comparisons, the warden's tooth gap could be seen as a certain style of moustache 😬

imagine being a kid watching the rich history of adult swim, i was that kid

I'm so sad they cancelled superjail. I still rewatch it once a year. It's absolutely fucking amazing. I watched every new episode on adult swim when I was younger. The intro always caught my attention speaking it was new every time. The super silly but horrific and gory animation. Animation was always so smooth even on my parents slow ass DirectTV. Every character even the random side characters look and feel unique. I love how weird it is. Every new episode you could not predict. As an adult it is very fun to watch intoxicated (children do not drink or do drugs!) Overall it was one of my favorite adult swim shows at the time because the animation and characters stood out so much more.

My favorite part of Superjail was always the Warden. I love his willy Wonka type of vibe and generally love his imperfect personality. I also loved how interesting the twins were. I wish this show could come back

They did But it was not superjail And superjail was not cancelled too soon It got exactly the perfect amount of episodes

Superjail was pure amazing

Super jail was lit

Channel gonna blow up soon keep up the great content!! 🎉

I liked it don't know if it was the best, but it was starting to find it's footing. Then bam it was canceled. Adult swim is known for that unfortunately

Perfect Hair Forever is one show [adult swim] fans often forget about that went too soon imho.

Super Jail was one of the best shows in [AS], it basically just an acid trip.

As a adult man, this is one of the worst shows I have ever seen in my entire life

one of the greatest shows in animation history is a criminal thing to say but it is good

i miss joe pera. i loved him. wish he'd come back on adut swim.

They make mistakes but that's a part of experimenting and they are one of the diminishingly few networks willing to take risks like that. So, I give them some slack.

this show gave me nightmares as a kid

that adult does swim.

I thought this was going to be about MDE

Unfortunately what I saw of Ballmastrz: 9009 felt disappointing compared to SuperJail. It was zany and frenetic, sure, but it didn't have the psychology.

Her name is "Sanser" Aww

looks like super jail, got SUPER cancelled

Why did they stop this it was their best!

nice try but smiling friends hasnt been cancelled :D

adult swim only has room for one "slaughter show" on their lineup. trade Metalocalypse for Superjail then trade Superjail for Mr. Pickles and repeat the cycle once the next bloodbath cartoon emerges. at least that's how I perceived it.

You could also make an argument that the 15 min timeslots fueled creativity and removed the need to kill time on screen. Mix that with "you're on adult swim at night, literally everyone watching is either drunk or high, and probably college aged". Also, adult swim usually has a reason, they just prefer to come across as if they're attacking the fans. Metalocalypse was cancelled because Brendon wanted to make a high budget movie (which we actually finally got,and the wait was worth it), but adult swim doesn't really have (or didn't have) the right resources. Nowadays they do, but back then, the second it cost too much to produce your show, it was gone. That's why alot of long running AS shows are so horridly animated

This show died too early 😢 1. Great animation 2. Funny and genuine characters 3. Crazy stories 4. Interesting character design Honestly the show has has beautiful smooth animations and nice interesting memorable characters I guess one of the main reasons why it was canceled was that it was quite Offensive too but they make fun of everyone equally which makes it like “it’s not racist if I make fun of everyone “ 😂

the warden is like if you put spongebob, the onceler, willy wonka and a psycopath in a broken blender and snorted it up with a mix of lsd, cocaine and weed

What i love about adult swim, is that it actually gives shows like this a chance. There is so much genius content adult swim funds that wouldve never be able to work elsewhere. I think cancelling some shows early is an unfortunate, but necessary evil to make room for more new ideas. Its kind of like when you go to a restaurant and order one of those variety plates with like 50 tiny samples of different foods on it instead of just 1 large meal. Sure, it sucks that your newly discovered favorite food is just a bite size taste test, but had it not been for that you wouldve just ordered some regular meal and likely never had the chance to even discover it

I will forever be bitter about the fact they cancelled Superjail, Metalocalypse, Moral Orel, and China IL but kept Mr. Pickles

Jack knife in the title sequence was always the best. He never got away with any of his crimes, sometimes he thought he did but then bam, jail bot shows up 😅

Do you know the definition of insanity? *hands you dvd box set of Superjail*

I always thought the Warden just tortured because he thought he had to. He seemed to always be this happy-go-lucky. As a child, he was always oblivious to his fathers abuse and he always wondered why prisons cant "be fun". I think that's why he is the way he is. He wants to make superjail "Fun" while he is absolutely oblivious to the emotions (and torture) of other people (especially the inmates).

I love Christy. I’ve hung with him quite a few times. You’d never believe he even made superjail. He’s super soft spoken and really nice!

Adult Swim had a problem with canceling shows to shove more of that unfunny Time and Eric shit down everyone's throats. Never met a normal person that liked those two, it's always the person that acts like you'll too stupid to get the comedy and only people like them can truly enjoy it.

I used to watch Superjail in high school. Once I got past all the violence, the show was great! It was funny, the characters were unique, it looked amazing for the time and even now and it was genuinely interesting. I even rewatched it again a couple years back and it mostly held up. This show was truly one of a kind. Looking back, I think later adult cartoons and shows learned the wrong lesson and thought being gross and rude were the key to being good. It's really what you do with the gross stuff that makes the show good.

Not only did they cancel it, they had the creators trim down the episode length of the 4th season AND hardly advertised that the show had a fourth season to begin with.

Xavier Renegade Angel is my favorite AS show of all time, and I really REALLY wish they'd make season 3. Partially why I think it ended early was because of how obscure it was, and how some people didn't get the jokes at first. (btw really awesome vid on Super Jail, it's another favorite AS show of mine, and like you said we deffinitly need more shows like it haha.)

i miss this show a lot because of its wild creativity, psychedelic animation and crude humor. but with season 4 being rushed, it was probably a good idea to cancel the show before it could decrease in quality anymore. glad to see the torch being passed on to ballmastrz and i hope season 3 comes out!

I love fresh Superjail content in the year of 2023

Superjail is without a doubt, my top three favorite adult swim shows, the others being venture bros and ballmastrz. The show has these memorable visuals: crazy violence, insanely fast plot changes, and the fact almost none of this gets resolved makes it more funnier. We'll pretty much never get a show like this again, which is a shame, considering I loved the absolute craziness superjail has. Time police is still the best episodes in superjail. How we go from a idea to expand the jail to a _LITERAL TIME RESET_ is just another example of why I love this show. You wonder why Christy Karacas is one of my favorite people in animation.

Im pretty confident in saying, superjail was bound to have a short lifespan, with its frenetic nature and high-octane violence, it was gonna burn out quick no matter how they handled it.

I miss Moral Orel the most. Was cancelled for being "too depressing". What did they expect, it was a drama series!

Man, Superjail was a bonkers show. The art and animation and all the ridiculous stuff going on was like a full on assault on the senses...but weirdly in a good way. The absurdity of it was just a thing I couldn't take my eyes off of...it was weird but it was also really good from what I remember lol

I feel like people often overlook China, IL. It started getting into it's own rhythm by season 2 and had it's own charm, it deserved at least one more season

Ah, Cheeseburger. Such a strange journey with their music😁 Also if you are still looking for underrated classic, then I recommend Nigual the Tiny Wizard and his doghouse, Marmalade.

Superjail was sensational to the eyes and ears. David Wain has such a smooth voice and the colors and (HAND!) animation was eye crack. I miss it so much but it wasn't advertised enough and the last season really felt like they weren't into it anymore.

I legitamately think that this show could be high art because of the animation and sound design. i should make a whole video essay about this because i am SOOOOOOO passionate about superjail

Damn I forgot about superjail. It was awesome when I was a teen. People sexualixed the hell out of thw warden online

Smoking a couple of bowls and watching Superjail is still one of my favourite Saturday night activities.

As someone who usually doesn't like the more gorey stuff. Superjail was actually amazing. I think it's because it was just such an artistic cartoon. The scenes when absolute chaos would break out were actually animation marvels in my honest opinion. I think the actually love of cartooning put into the show made me able to deal with the more visceral elements.

I love Superjail, and I can't believe how little-known it is among people I know.. They really did kill it too early, right when it was getting completely out of this world levels of insane, too!

Superjail is amazing. Still my fav cartoon to this day.

Hey wait a minute, This isn’t a video about The Boondocks….. Nah jks

I get so happy when I hear people bring this show up!! I don't hear it be mentioned very often, and it took me a while to remember what it was until a couple years ago when I found it on Adultswim's website! I binged it remembering the warden and alice! I watched a video on drawn together another show that I remember seeing snippets of when I was younger and thinking it was hilarious haha. I hope more and more people find SuperJail to the point where it gets a recreation or a continuation! I don't care! I just loved seeing all those characters interact with each other, the voice actors make each character really come to life.

why didnt you mention ultrajail . its the warden and the rival female wardens jail

Without doubt, one of the most painful stabs in my heart.. I'll miss the warden and the others.. Easily one of my favourite animated shows from AS

I will never forget dropping a tab for the first time and popping this show on. Always thought it was crazy underrated. RIP 🕊💔

The reason why the show was canceled is because it wasn't remarkable, there's not a lot of super jail murch, you can throw out there and because it wasn't profitable like aquateen hunger force, which had a movie that failed and the show won't go away either, and they. Just keep bringing it back. There's just not much taken sell based on super jail

I watched this show whilst really REALY high one time. It was.....interesting.

IM SENSING A SUPERJAIL BOOST IN POPULARITY!! out of nowhere i had a dream about this show a month ago which led me to revisit it again after YEARS.. is this a sign??? espc bc im seeing a lot more people talking about it now

My highest viewed video on TikTok sitting at like 68k views is asking what the trans community thinks of Alice and I was very surprised to find the overwhelming love for her.

Don't get me wrong I loved Superjail. But calling it Adult Swim's best show is quite a reach

Why does the warden look like elton john?

Brilliant entertaining show bursting with creativity and made the most of it's 4 seasons. This and the super milk chan show deserve another chance.

A note about the Stanford prison experiment. It's methodology may invalidate the conclusion made. The guards didn't turn abusive because they were given power and chose to exploit it, they assumed being abusive was expected of them and therefore acted so without question, so the guards didn't actually have power to abuse, they were following a higher power, the guy who was running the experiment. Which is still a interesting thing to study as it can be used too explain the "just following orders" mentality

The irony in canceling Moral Orel for being too depressing, is that Rick and Morty, which can be just as dark at times, has unconditional support as Adult Swim’s top show.

Was never a big fan of Superjail, but now you’ve made me want to go back and watch it! Another excellent video.

Bruh, they cancelled Superjail? That's not very cash money of them.

They cancelled MDE. That’s the real crime.

a true man of culture 10/10 show

Alice is my crush too warden

Not just Super Jail. Adult Swim fucked over Jackson Publick and Doc Hammer. All they asked for was 1 more season to properly end the Venture Bros. But we're forced make a best out of 1 movie to "properly" tie up loose ends.

For those who can stomach gore, Superjail makes for a really fun watch. It's impossible not to be in awe at the animation style. Given that the first season was produced at Augenblick with the rest being done at Titmouse, it's hard to believe the show was done in Flash. Not to mention Warden is just an awesome character in general. You can definitely tell animators had fun drawing him, especially whenever he shapeshifts to go with what he says. ("Can't you guys C? Eye'm doing this for U!") Shame Adult Swim pulled the plug on Superjail early. I finished the whole show on Max in the courtesy of 5 months last year, and you can bet there was a hole left in my heart after I got done, especially since the finale "Superjail Six" was a rocky episode to end on. Adult Swim definitely should bring it back with a movie, same way they did with Aqua Teen, Venture Bros, and Metalocalypse. I'm sure there are enough people out there who'd love a Superjail revival as much as I would. I just wanna see that tuxedoed madman grace people's screens again.

Don't forget he's self aware of his magic shenanigans. It's not just a visual gag for the audience

The flashbacks of Warden's past were the moments this show got real. You can really start to see a lot of the Warden's problems and his cruel side come from the way his father treated him. But I have to give the Warden credit as a character who never lost sight of who he was. Even as a child he had a vision for the way he wanted his jail to be and I think he acts like a foolish happy child as a adult to mock his father. He runs the prison in all the goofy ways his father would probably disapprove of and hate and it is more effective/successful. The show was all over the place most of the time with insane stuff happening around every corner but I appreciate how the show took small moments to give a little backstory to Warden, Jared, and Alice to explain why they act the way they do and how they ended up working there.

Moral orel, black dynamite, venture brothers, stroker and hoop and superjail were canceled too soon 😢

Their best show? This isn't Venture Bros.

I was absolutely scared of Superjail as a kid because of the animation style (I was like, 11 around that time lmao) and never touched it until LITERALLY LAST NIGHT. I binged the entire series and just finished it now from HBO Max 😭😭 Alice, Paul, LORDDEEStingray, various others are my favorites despite the evil lmao (except for Cancer, sweet child) Im so mad it ended so suddenly, I wanted more chaos and trippy ass animations and violent humor.. Can't do anything with crude humor these days because it'll probably be cancelled by sensitive people....

moral orel will forever be their best show. superjail was good and unique but moral orel was genuinely dark lmao. and it was told through the eyes of a kid who never realized just how dark it was.

I’m pretty sure adult swim canceled 80% of their watched catalogue way to early, and they are stuck with Birdman abd Rick and Morty, not many people watch those shows still

its surrealist humour appealed to me

You make such good vids. It makes me think you have a another channel with lots of subs. and trying to see if you can make another big youtube account.

Superjail was the best to watch high as fuck after work

Literal Cocaine for 10 year old me

I wish this show would come back in like a continuation or a reboot that doesn't suck ass

What about venture bros... another show that adult swim killed before its time...

Warden was the OG tumblr sexy man

I love how smooth and full of personality the animation is!

Let's not forget the opening theme song! Commin' Home by Cheeseburger still stands the test of time to this day.

I haven't watched SuperJail in years. I had no idea it was cancelled until now. ;-; Nice video though. :)
