Superjail: Adult Swim's Most INSANE Show - Hats Off 

I love how the Warden was the most bounciest character of the show. Even with some cartoons today, like Steven Universe character Spinel who was based off of rubber hose animation was quite stiff compared to Warden who was more energetic, bouncy and flexible in movement. His voice was also quite soothing for a very talkative character with the charisma that can sell the devil a crappy condo and walk off scot-free.

The animation of that show was the most well made 2D i ever seen

The warden works so well for the show His child like wonder and Innocence works so well and contracts the violent Chaos that is going on

While Alice’s design is obviously tounge and cheek, I think the writers did a decent job at giving her character life and not just a one off joke, there’s even an episode about Alice’s past where a boyfriend doesn’t want her anymore because he’s only attracted to men. Bringing to light some of the tribulations trans people can go through.

I'm a little disappointed that you didn't bring up how The Mistress transformed into a pansexual hippie after sleeping with Alice. That was awesome.

That's a wild claim when xavier exists

its obvious how much fun the animators had when working on this show, it makes total sense how much heart and passion they put into it. if i were an animator this would easily be my favorite gig too lol

superjail is such a classic. it'll always always hold a special place in my heart, especially season 1.

Superjail was great time. I always felt like there was something special about the 1st season. Something about Augenblick's slightly more rough animation and all the episodes being written by a group gave it a unique charm, like something you'd make with your friends in high school. Too bad it got cut short, but at least it went out on a high note.

Super Jail is like if Willy Wonka, Looney Toons, Spy vs. Spy, Dr. Seuss, and Drawn Together all had an orgy.

My husband is a huge fan and has the DVD's. He has fond memoies watching it with his older brother who had been in prison. He also found it cathartic when he was a CO for a prison. Prison blows and anything that makes it easier to put it behind you in an irreverent bloody mess is a godsend.

this and "off the air" were the first adult swim shows I ever saw. I was way too young and I'm sure they've had some unseen repercussions lol

SUPERJAIL is a bloody FEELING Glad to see the show getting recognition

I love this shows opening, probably even more than BoJacks. I never skip it.

I watched the entire show while tripping on mushrooms and funny enough it all made perfect sense when I did lol.

The female wardens introduction epsiode has lived in my head since I was a pre-teen

Superjail still disturbs and fascinates me. i still get chills watching the theme song especially when the warden's face appears in the clouds. It's content is gross and not my cup of tea at all but it's style and animation is unmatched.

it definitely felt like there was a disconnect between how the writers and artists treated Alice. but the episode where she tries to act more feminine was really well done. because in the end she chose to be herself and embrace the masculine sides of herself she still connects with. that you don’t have to be the most feminine woman or the most masculine man if your trans or cis or anyone. i also like that it’s unclear if the warden doesn’t know she’s trans or just doesn’t care. and his crushes on other women in the series proves he’s not just a fetishizing trans women. it’s all pretty impressive for 2008, imo.

I remember seeing this guy all over Tumblr for a hot minute 😳

To be honest adult swim that come out in the 2000's like superjail are really timeless classic that are really recommended to be watch about people who remembers them and I would like to rewatch shows like superjail.

With Ballmasters and King Star King getting specials maybe Superjail will eventually get one and resolve that kind of limp ending feeling from season 4.

Awesome video! Im a huge fan of Superjail, even do fanart haha. Season 3 ep 5s Jackknifes skit was my favorite. Jackknife pretends to be a disabled homeless, brought into a church to be healed, he gets attacked by jesus Jailbot. Lol

Superjail is incredibly underrated. It’s so good!

Holy shit, I had no idea this show was made in flash, i always assumed it was traditionally animated thats amazing

What really fun is every episode jackknife finds a way to escape superjail during the riot, My favorite was him turning himself into a baby and a random ass woman walks past the screen, goes 'awww', and just picks him up while all the prisoners are killing each other 🤣

Tbh as a trans guy I fucking love Alice lol she's great

Superjail is an absolute underrated gem. Thank you for covering it.

Super jail is just always gonna give me that after midnight adult swim vibe that was very VERY Anachronistic to that stream of consciousness/what did my friend just pass me and what did I smoke and it’s a very specific feeling that I miss and love about some of those shows especially super jail

I just found this and this so cool bro I've never seen a smaller RU-vid channel with this type of vibe I love it and I hope to stay until the end thank you for making this great cover on such a good show.

I am so thankful to you for such wholesome review of Superjail, this show deserves recognition ❤

If an animator was on drugs and was in charge of Adult Swim this is the best way to do it Weird show but Adult Swim is like the Weird Older brother to the young brother Cartoon Network and the the dad Warner Bros

Alice > Trans representation on 2023 Seeing her as a trans person was so excited, she may seem like a stereotype but has a lot of potential and for the time it was made is more than perfect, a really good character and my favorite one of the show, such a vibe

I wanna see a crossover between Xavier Renegade Angel, Superjail, and Mr. Pickles for the most bat shit show to ever exist.

I literally just finished binging this insane series and here I am! Just wanna share how much I love the show ( as well as that sexy Mistress Warden! ❤) and will miss it! It's literally a notebook sketchbook of chaos turned into animation!!! Its hard to top this off unless your Painted Stills of Ren& Stimpy,Studio Trigger, Madhouse, Masami Obari or a Go Nagi project!

The episode with the girl with cancer was sad

Watching this vid was like a fever dream. Remembering the wacky violence from this show, like wow

I loved Robotomy, very underrated, wish it was promoted more by CN

Life on the outside ain't what it used to be.

Oh hell yeah a video on one of my favorite adult Swim shows

12:49 POV: My pillow talk game 😂

I only saw a little bit of this show when it was on, thought the animation was amazing! I think I'll give it a rewatch

I was binge watching this channel yesterday and then this comes out

I honestly love this show. It’s insane yet calm. The chaos is consistent so you aren’t bored and waiting for the insanity. And this show had some of the most creative kills I’ve seen since the toxic avenger

Loved the video, I watched Robotomy back in 2011 but Superjail was something new to me. I love the fight animation and I remember the villain Hornet. These adult swim shows were something special

My boyfriend once made me watch an episode of this while stoned and I didnt retain a single second of it but I remember being horrified

can't remember if it was just the pilot or the whole first season but they had that great 10cc song for the intro, "rubber bullets"

Haha, I actually first learned about Superjail when I found some ah... interesting art of Stingray.

You have some of the best video quality on YT.... Makes me feel like a kid again watching Cartoon Network Magnifico *Chef Kisses

Just when I thought I was the only one who remembered superjail. Damn im glad i subbed to this channel.

I can't overstate just how obsessed I was with Superjail! back in the day. I still remember the first time I ever saw it, though it'd be hard to forget... I was in the hospital after getting sick, i.e. wasted, at a Halloween party the night before, and there wasn't much else to watch, so even though I didn't really care for many adult swim shows at the time I decided to give Superjail! a shot. It ended up being one of those surprise shows that I didn't know I wanted but suddenly couldn't imagine living without. I'd never seen ANYTHING like it, and I couldn't get enough; the energy and pure, insane chaos was infectious, and I was hooked immediately. The Warden was absolutely the best part, the way he would emote and just bend reality--almost subconsciously--as he was monologuing was always fun to watch, and of course I ended up with the biggest crush on him. Even sewed a purple suit to cosplay him at ComicCon *and* made myself a little Warden plushie. The show still holds a special place for me all these years later, and although the later seasons didn't quite have the same magic as the first (though not bad by any means), Superjail! is still holds the title as my favorite AS show of all time.

the intro will always be nonlogic to me because OOOOOOO life on the outside ain't what it use to be dun DUN dun DUN duuuun AAAnd the worlds gone crazy and it ain't safe ooON the streets dun DUN dun DUUUNNNN

I still hit the dance the warden was doing in the fight city episode

I never heard anyone talk about this show, much less positively, so it's amazing to see it wasn't just some sort of fever dream.

Superjail was my favorite show when it was running.

Alice is a queen! We love & respect her. She's comfortable with herself & knows what she wants. Rock on, Alice. 🤘💞

Alice was a funny character.. and should’ve got a spin-off.

"Adult Swim's most INSANE Show" King Star King: "Am I just invisible to you?"

Goddamn, I forgot this show existed for a while. I probably relegated it to just being a fever dream from when I was like 12. Crazy how well the animation holds up, if you can stomach more than a bit of the old ultraviolence

David Wain did a spectacular job as the Warden 🎩🌈

Awsome review hatsoff are you excited for venture bros movie

My fav part of this show is, without a doubt, Lord Stingray. He's such a prick and I'm all for it.

This show is a whole ass mood

I had a personal theory superjail was either a illigal prison or the unstable wardens power fantasy

What is the green mark on the puppets mouth? I'm not having trouble with any other video on RU-vid. Super Jail is a treasure! I love their music band Cheeseburger. This show is unlike another, which I have always liked about Adult Swim. They encourage their creators to make whatever their hearts desire.

Super underrated channel

this show and morel orel made rick and morty.

Never run away from the time police!

Loved this and China Illinois around the same time. Reminded me of animations from Liquid Television in the early 90s on MTV.

I wonder if some of the anime that Adult Swim used to air will ever be covered on the channel like Inuyasha and Fullmetal Alchemist

Crazier than World Peace, eh?

Im transgender and i loved this show. I laughed at it. Even at some bits with Alice.

Superjail was one of my favorites

I forgot this show existed

Kinda weird to say that they couldn't make this in-house without either a lot of talent or a lot of coke, rather than commenting the budget of in-house animation.

yo bro , where did you edit your character animation and your intro ?

The episode involving Spanish fly was my favorite!

it felt like watching a comic strip

This show was non stop blood and gore and I absolutely loved it also the writing wasn't bad either.

Woah. Another person knows what Superjail is.

this show is a fkn wild ride i luv it sm

Love, love, love superjail

Best Ezra Miller Joke Ever Told

I’m sorry. You said. This show. Was made. In flash? My brain abso-positively cannot even begin to comprehend how that was done. These animators are American heroes and should be recognized as such until the end of forever. -Love an inexperienced digital artist.

This show was awesome, i really miss the craziness of it.

Superjail reigns supreme

I completely forgot about this show I saw glimpse of season one back into 2008 wasn’t my cup of tea but didn’t realize it actually had four season ending in 2014 that was surprise me granted seems like they took years off per season but still.

When I was 5 and found this show on RU-vid I was in love with it

lord stingray my beloved

My favorite AS show ♥️ Loved Ballmasterzs too

Alice a real nigga. Nuf said.

Im ngl as a trans woman i fucking love Alice so much 😭😭😭

I can’t agree with you more!

I binge-watched superjail during quarantine and I loved it. What's your favorite episode?

The only other show (Regular Show too)I actually purchased

I thought this was tame compared to Mr. Pickles. I've never met anyone able to sit there for an episode with going wtf am I watching

As a kid, whenever this show came on, I'd get scared.

Ah, Superjail. The first time I watched it, I was with a group of friends, all of us having just ingested some magic mushrooms. It was an instant hit with me! My friends, not so much. 😂

I didn't watch this a lot but this shit was wild cuzz Imao 😂💀

19:59 weird, i've always seen the Alice character as her own unique person that's it i guess🤷‍♂

6:23 don’t want to be a butt hole, but vegetables are already living. I think the word you were looking for was sentient vegetables.
