Thoughts on this trend? Do you love or hate it? 🤔

[wolfyyeetisacringyname]

this trend seems fun. I'm always confused when it shows up but I always liked it for some reason

[laneyatkinson]

Thank you!! I was so confused on what the [AS] thing was and no one else explains it very well

[pancakes]

this (as) trend for me is starting to feel like the rick rolling trend. I'm like trying to avoid it :D

[TheChoas]

I read your comment and I thought you were so right! I was trying to figure out what it means for forever. Thank you so much!

[JUSSTLORE]

i never understood what the trend really meant i only knew what adult swim meant ty for the explanation! i finally understand lol

[Aanaartu]

This was really well made and concise explanation video in general. Thank you explaining it for someone who isn't from a english speaking country or user of TikTok in such simple terms :)

[bedwitch]

I love it but at the same time you can tell by the skit on some videos they've never watched AS before. I remember watching AS and toonami when I was a kid late at night.

In my school's band hall our music stands are the brand manhasset...someone wrote on one so now it says manh[as]set 😂

[Lily_theGOAT]

I looked this up because I was driving the other day and saw a barn with a huge poster on it that said as 😂

[SillyCemz_]

i have learned so much more ur better than google for explaining it omg tysmm!!

[darkfloor]

Thanks all the other videos are just people saying that it means adult swim then the video ends

[octupleentendre]

Bruh it’s just a viral marketing campaign

[HappySloth]

I've always hated adult swim. I'm sure my opinion will change as I grow older. (I'm a teenager as of now) But when I was elementary-school aged and live tv was all we had, and I couldn't even watch cartoons after 7pm, I got so mad. I was all like: why does it have to change to adult shows, tv is full of shows for grown ups! Anyways the point I'm trying to make is they should put adult swim on a different channel or just get rid of it all together. Or at least push it back so it starts at like 9pm instead of 7

I think people are not really capturing the mood of the original [as], and it’s turning into something weird. The inspirational ones especially weird me out bc my old ass remembers it being really random and having a certain mood😂😂😂
