PAID PROGRAMMING PANIC. Adult Swim’s 4AM infomercials are more than just latenight TV oddities—they’re a surreal blend of horror, absurdity, and mindbending storytelling that have left audiences both fascinated and disturbed. In this video, I’ll be diving into the strange and unnerving world of these iconic infomercials, from Too Many Cooks to Unedited Footage of a Bear, exploring how these latenight segments became horror hidden in plain sight.

I’ll uncover the creative minds behind these bizarre creations, how they broke the conventions of TV, and why they remain some of the most talkedabout pieces of modern horrorcomedy. Join me as I dissect the eerie humor, cryptic storytelling, and hidden meanings within Adult Swim’s 4AM world.
