As I've been watching more and more videos about Lost Media, I've thought of a few works that I remember seeing as a young child that I can't seem to find anywhere on the internet. One of these pieces was what I think is an Adult Swim bumper.
I have vivid memories of watching Adult Swim with my mom when I was around 4 or 5 years of age, so around 2007 was the time I may have seen this. One night, my mom may have fallen asleep and left me watching the television longer than usual, where I spotted a strange and at the time very creepy bumper. If I can remember correctly, I think it was set up using puppets made out of a foam-like material I see what appears to be a number ten with googly eyes, shivering nervously while it attempts to hide behind something. At first you can't tell what it is hiding from, but as the camera slowly pans over to the side you see two other numbers, one being a seven that appears to be eating a number nine. The seven shown has red eyes and fangs with blood dripping from it's mouth, while the number nine beneath it is dead with blood covering the ground surrounding it. After that, it just cuts to a commercial. At first glance, this possible bumper is most likely a play on the joke "Why was 10 afraid of 7?"
I'm pretty sure that I saw this bumper, but I could be mistaken. Given that Adult Swim is known for messing with their viewers early in the morning (around 2:00 or 3:00), I think it's a possibility this could of been shown. Can anyone else recall seeing something like this?
I do remember seeing this bumper! I definitely have the same memory of the little foam-looking puppets and the number shivering (though In my memory I thought it was a 6 that was afraid of 7?). I didn't even realize this was in 2007, it felt like I had seen this more recently in my head haha. Hopefully someone can find it, I'd love to see it again.

Awesome! So I'm not the only one who remembers it. I might have been a bit off, my memory isn't that great when it comes to bumpers and such since my family hasn't had cable for years XD But that's so cool. I haven't been able to find it anywhere online and I've already checked Bumpworthy.com but I can't seem to get any clues about it.
Yeah I was going to suggest bumpworthy too, but I didn't see it there either.
I remember it looked kind of similar to this ? I don't remember any colors specifically, but from what I remember it was a dimly lit little bumper.
YES!! That's exactly how I remember it! However, I might of actually remembered some of the colors in short. I believe the number hiding from the seven was light blue and the seven may have been orange.
I'm going to try and contact Adult Swim and ask if they happen to have the name of the short, since I haven't been able to find anything on Google about it. Perhaps it aired around Halloween, which would explain why it's kind of been forgotten about.
