YESNO

Adult Swim also showed their dedication to the annual Deception Day by posting another a preview block of upcoming programs on its Adult Swim Junior channel, featuring “age-appropriate shows for growing minds and for growing sense of humor,” like The Venture Nephews (formerly The Venture Bros.) and Space Kid Crib to Crib (formerly Space Ghost Coast to Coast), among others.

No one needs to throw their toys out of the pram for this prank; Adult Swim is widely known to participate in the Fourth Month silliness every year. Previous celebrations have included things like the surprise launch of the highly anticipated first episode of Rick and Morty season three, as well as a lawless reinvention of the series from Australian host Michael Cusack.

However, if you’re looking for a return to the regular lineup, book a seat on the couch for the first episode of Rick and Morty Season 5, which is set to debut on June 20, aka Rick and Morty Day, One Day. Celebration of the show which will offer behind-the-scenes footage, outlook for the rest of the season and “special surprises” across television, digital media and social media platforms.
