4chan Adventures is an American animated rage bait television series created by Justin Coolman and Kevin Luthor that aired on G4 from January 21, 2007 to July 19, 2014 and later Syfy from May 14, 2016 to November 10, 2018. The series is set in a fictional world based on the namesake website 4chan, and follows... well, the kinda people you'll find on 4chan—a bunch o' neo-Nazis, pedophiles, hacktivists, and so on.
Many of the characters in 4chan Adventures originated from Coolman and Luthor's old webcomics. The show was originally developed for NBC before the network executives hit the goddamn ceiling and the series ended up being dumped on G4, a nerd culture-focused cable channel, instead. The series was produced by Coolman and Luthor's JC&KL Productions, David Bellevue and Brian Butcher's BB Entertainment, and Burnie Burns and Matt Hullum's Rooster Teeth until season 8, in association with NBC Universal Television Studio (later Universal Media Studios) and subsequently Universal Cable Productions. Episodes were mostly animated using Flash animation because cheap ahh 2000s cartoon, but styles such as CGI and traditional animation were also used.
The show premiered in 2007 to high ratings compared to other subscription cable shows, but its viewership dwindled over the course of its run due to G4's removal from many pay TV providers (which this show might have contributed to). In 2012, it became the last remaining original program produced for G4, and it was ultimately cancelled after season 8 due to the heartbreaking closure of the channel in 2014. In July 2015, Syfy announced that it had picked the show up for new episodes because NBCUniversal and renewed it for a 9th season, which aired in 2016. The show was then renewed for a 10th season, which aired from 2017 to 2018. In December 2017, Luthor announced on Discord that the series would end with its 11th fucking season in 2018. The final season premiered on August 25, 2018 and ended on November 10, 2018.
Like other shitty TV series whose senses of humor rely too much on shock or faux deepness, 4chan Adventures has received widespread critical acclaim and appeared on lists of the greatest TV shows of all time published by dumb celebrity brain rot magazines. It has received six Emmy Awards, six Peabody Awards, two IGN Awards, two Annie Awards, and a Humanitas Prize, and was nominated for numerous other jokes the press calls awards.
