Adult Swim Bump Rates Fan Service Levels In Its Shows


Ever wondered how Francine from American Dad! or King of the Hill‘s Luanne Platter stand up to the likes of Ryuko Matoi?

Apparently, this was a burning question for the folks at Adult Swim. In a unique commerical bump spot, the network rates each of their Saturday shows on the fan-service scale, to hopefully put that debate to rest once and for all.

As one would expect, Gurren Lagann and Kill la Kill are off the charts.

It’s a fun little spot that has its tongue planted firmly in cheek.
