Nobody does April Fools’ Day better than Adult Swim. For the past 20 years, the network has made it an annual mission to keep the prankish spirit of the jester-based day alive by throwing its viewers a curveball. Be it absurd gags, silly gimmicks, and sometimes grade-a shocking game-changers, April Fools’ Day is a colossal event for Adult Swim that every adult animation fan can’t miss.
Here are a few of the channel’s best April Fools’ Day moments from the past two decades.
2004 – Mustaches
Let’s go back to the prank that started it all—mustaches! It was just a night of regular adult animated programming, but with mustaches drawn onto all the characters in every scene in every show. It is such a simplistic gag, yet it birthed the tradition.

The kid cast of the PBS series “Odd Squad” is gearing up for its usual challenge, teaching kids about math and science. While the four new members of the team tape scenes in New York’s Central Park, however, a bigger threat looms.
Viewers of “Odd Squad” will not be all that familiar with Valentina Herrera, Jayce Alexander, Alyssa Hidalgo and Gavin MacIver-Wright when they take to the PBS Kids schedule sometime in 2020 for the third cycle of this popular kids’ program. Producers are betting fans of the program and others who have yet to sample it will embrace them quickly. A cast shake-up is not the norm for most series, but for “Odd Squad” it has fast become de rigueur.
Across kids’ TV, most favorites rarely change. Curious George looks almost the same now as he did when he debuted in 2006. The same is true for Nickelodeon’s SpongeBob SquarePants.

Sandi Tan wanted to make a movie. She was 19 and living in Singapore, the sort of misfit teen who worshipped at the altar of late Eighties/early Nineties underground culture. She obsessed over Jarmusch and The Catcher in the Rye, with a side helping of American blues and the French New Wave; while most kids had been at school studying for midterm exams, she was already writing for the local alt-weekly The Big O and starting a fanzine called The Exploding Cat with her “nemesis”-turned-best-friend Jasmine Ng.

An official biopic of Roy Orbison has been confirmed...
Roy Orbison’s estate will cooperate with The Big O, a new biopic based on the life of the man who wrote 'Pretty Woman', 'Running Scared', 'In Dreams' and 'Only the Lonely'.
Roy Orbison was made for movies. That pallor. Those sunglasses. David Lynch saw it and Dennis Hopper channeled it. Roy Orbison was a mystery man, who never showed his eyes after losing his wife Claudette, who haunted his songs. Actually, Roy lost his regular, Buddy Holly style glasses on a tour bus with the Beatles when they opened for him in the UK. He kept both the shades and his friendship with George Harrison. They even formed a band together with Bob Dylan, Tom Petty and Jeff Lynne.

So what's the verdict? In short, we were both disappointed by Ridley Scott's paint-by-numbers biblical epic "Exodus: Gods and Kings," and hail the rise of director Angelina Jolie, who delivers with "Unbroken" and rising star Jack O'Connell. Could her cinematographer, frequent Coens collaborator Roger Deakins, finally land the Big O after 11 nominations? After all, "Birdman" D.P. Emmanuel Lubezki won last year for "Gravity." We also dig into some other categories and races as well as the Sundance lineup so far and recommend what you should watch this weekend.

Think Gently of the Erring features sleazy politicians, shameless displays of inebriation, and sharp objects applied with considerable force as Copper builds to a climax in the final few episodes of the season.
The biggest new development this week comes with the return of Eva’s violent side. (Remember that time in season one when she murdered somebody? Yeah, that happened.) This guy Ramsey is certainly a douchebag, but it’s questionable whether that justifies gouging his eye out.

It's your basic boy meets girl, robot punches monster-type story about a dimensional rift in the ocean that unleashes a horde of building-size Kaiju (monsters) hellbent on stomping on all of humanity. It's up to the Jaegers (giant robots) to take them out before they take us out. We got the lowdown from the sources, including the stars and del Toro himself.

You might not think the cast of All-Star Celebrity Apprentice knows anything about art — and you’d be right — but that didn’t stop Donald Trump from asking the celebs to make and sell their own creations on the show’s March 31 episode. Lisa Rinna and Lil Jon headed up the two teams, which called upon their many celebrity contacts to reach deeply into their pockets.
Come board-room time, Lisa said she’d ask back the two lowest earners — which happened to be Stephen Baldwin and Gary Busey — if her team lost the challenge. Fortunately for her, she didn’t have to put them on the spot, as her team made $225,000 and Lil Jon’s only made $179,500.

If you are not familiar with Yuji Iwahara’s manga, King of Thorn can be one of the more confusing anime films to watch. Characters are cut and marginalized, while others get bigger roles. However, if you’re a sci-fi fan, the second and third viewing of King of Thorn can be as rewarding as watching The Matrix for the umpteenth time.
Directed by Kazuyoshi Katayama (Appleseed, Big O), King of Thorn centers on a dystopian future, where the world is plagued by the Medousa Virus. No, people don’t turn into zombies like The Walking Dead. Instead, they turn into stone –as the virus’ name suggests.
When a worldwide pandemic emerges, a lottery is held to save 160 members of the human race. The plan is to put them in a castle, where they will be cryogenically frozen until a cure can be found. Unfortunately, their cryo-sleep is interrupted and...

"The New Normal" (Tuesdays, 9:30 p.m. Et on NBC) has already tackled several controversial hot topics in its first few episodes, including racism, politics and gay rights. Now, it sounds like there's a wedding in the works, but it's not for the show's gay couple, Bryan (Andrew Rannells) and David (Justin Bartha) ... it's for the show's youngest star, Shania (Bebe Wood).
I caught up with star NeNe Leakes, who plays Bryan's sassy assistant Rocky, about her role in this big pre-teen wedding, and she also dished about some upcoming fun with Nana (Ellen Barkin) and incorporating a few NeNe-isms into the show.
She also talked about whether her fellow "Real Housewives of Atlanta" (Season 5 premieres Sun., Nov. 4, 9 p.m. Et on Bravo) are jealous or supportive of her newfound fame and success, and whether or not she'll make a return to Ryan Murphy's other show "Glee."

Ok, Oprah Winfrey isn't exactly having the best week ever. It was just announced that the media maven ranked dead last on Fortune's list of the 50 Most Powerful Women. So, what does this mean for the Big O?! Jason Kennedy, Ken Baker and Kristina Guerrero weigh in and tell us why she probably wasn't crying into her platinum-plated bowl of Cheerios this morning. Lady Gaga smokes joint on Amsterdam stage Speaking of powerful women, Lady Gaga is catching a lot of flack for flaunting her fuller figure on stage at a recent concert. While she has addressed the issue, attributing it to her Italian heritage and natural tendency to overindulge, she seems to be sending the right message by not...

London, September 20: Orgasms would not only help you stay healthy by preventing from diseases but will also keep you looking younger, say researchers.
They have revealed that the Big O creates a natural chemical reaction that's better for your health and wellbeing than any pill.
Having orgasm has been shown to beat stress and depression, relieve pain and reduce your risk of breast and prostate cancer, the Sun reported.
Even Lady Gaga has credited.

When Oprah Winfrey comes to interview you (and hey, it may happen) you’ll want to be on your best behavior. So that’s probably why the Big O found Rihanna a bit more demure than expected in her in-depth profile, which airs as part of Oprah’s Next Chapter on Sunday the 19th. Riri probably put her stripper humping to a minimum over during the days she was followed by Oprah around her native Barbados, and that’s probably for the best.
“I thought she would have been kind of a bad-ass kind of a rocker hard-edge woman. Nothing could have been farther from the truth,” said the talk-show legend. “She was thoughtful, she was very emotional, she was vulnerable.” Yet Oprah still fell the need to call the singer out on one tiny thing. ”You seem to have a liking for the F-word,” she says with a smile.

A week ago, this question would have been much easier to answer. Without a championship ring under his belt, LeBron James is merely an explosive all-round forward, a physical specimen and a great player. That is not to say that such a description isn’t impressive, but in the history of NBA many have been considered “great.”
With a ring under his belt however, LeBron James has vaulted himself onto a list of some of the greatest NBA players of all time. Many will argue that he isn’t quite there yet, and that is debatable, but no one can argue that his dominating performances throughout the 2011-2012 playoffs didn’t give him an extraordinary boox.
To begin, it would be advantageous to list players that are definitely above LeBron James. Also, I apologize in advance if certain legends are omitted, but due to the sheer number of greats, it...

Media baroness Oprah Winfrey founded her television network Own as an inspirational antidote to mindless reality TV. But now that her ratings are in the toilet, Oprah must have decided that mindless reality TV dynasties aren’t so bad after all! The Big O has decided to go straight for the big guns, calling upon the Kardashian Klan to breathe some much needed life into her flagging cable channel. The first part of the family’s two-part interview is set to air this Sunday on Oprah’s Next Chapter, where they’ll discuss important issues like Kim’s divorce, Kourtney’s baby, and Kris’s facelift count.
Despite her legendary status, Oprah ventured out to the Kardashian Kompound in Hidden Hills California for what she claimed was one of the lengthiest interviews of her career. “I genuinely wanted to know why they have become a cultural phenomenon,” she explained on her Facebook.

Following the news of its delay into next year, a recent job listing suggests that Bioshock Infinite will be adding a mulitplayer mode.
The listing on the Gamasutra job boards shows that Bioshock Infinite developer, Irrational Games, is looking for a network programmer. Qualifications include, "Previous experience developing network backend support on a multi-console title with support for matchmaking, stat tracking and analysis, in-game push updates, etc," as well as "Shipped at least one commercial network-connected game title, preferably on a console."
It's unclear why Irrational would need someone with this sort of expertise if the game was an exclusively single-player endeavor, so the possibility of Bioshock Infinite having multiplayer has gone from maybe, to almost definitely.
While Bioshock 2 had multiplayer, that was outsourced to Digital Extremes (not to mention that Bioshock 2 was developed by 2K Marin rather than Irrational). As such, that mode probably won't be...

If you were awake at midnight eastern time, you were probably excited to see Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim show the popular Toonami lineup. Being a kid of that generation, I was certainly excited to see shows like “Bleach,” “Dragonball Z,” “Gundam Wing,” “Tenchi Muyo,” “Outlaw Star,” “Big O” and more. If only the night never ended! The saddest part is that the Toonami lineup was an April Fools prank. Every year, Adult Swim does something crazy with their shows, like insert mustaches randomly on cartoon characters, but this is the first time I can remember that Adult Swim has used a whole cancelled block of programming as an April Fools’ [ Read More ]...

Randy’s got a six-string.
“The Fastest Guitar Alive” is one of those rock’n'roll movies that rock’n'roll would probably like to disown. In fact, it may have driven rock’n'roll to drink – and it was doing all right in that department before this film came along in 1967.
It’s Roy Orbison’s only acting role – for a clue as to why, see the movie. Fortunately, he didn’t give up his day job so he could sit in a Hollywood apartment waiting for his agent to call with that next big offer. According to Tfh guru Allison Anders, Elvis Presley had first crack at this gem and turned it down. Elvis must have already read the script for “Clambake” and decided that his Oscar was waiting to be picked up.
Roy Orbison – a great musical artist – lacks any sort of Elvis-esque charisma, a quality that just might have...

As if she wasn’t already the most hooked up kid on the planet, little Blue Ivy Carter is about to get some more serious star power. Apparently her super celeb mom and dad, Beyonce and Jay-z, have asked Oprah to be her godmother! Although the reports haven’t been confirmed by the couple themselves, RadarOnline reports that the talk show legend has been tapped to be a godparent, along side Jay-z’s pal Tyran “Ty Ty” Smith. If it’s true, Baby Blue can probably expect some seriously killer birthday parties. (“You get a pony! And you get a pony! Everybody gets a pony!”).
Oprah would definitely be an awesome and obvious choice for Blue Ivy’s fairy godmother. She’s already been doting on the newborn, in a distinctly Oprah-like way. Instead of sending the new baby a pimped-out stroller or badass crib (see what we did there?...
