Historyedit
Turner Broadcasting System announced the launch of Super Deluxe, a digital comedy website, in October 2006.[3][4] Super Deluxe was first launched on January 17, 2007 and featured digital shorts by comedians including Bob Odenkirk, Maria Bamford, Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim.[5] The website was folded into Adult Swim.com on May 7, 2008.[6][7]
Revivaledit
Super Deluxe was relaunched as a new entity in late 2015.[8] The "new" Super Deluxe was a separate entity from its original incarnation, only connected by name.[9] The network features short form videos including comedic shorts, political satire, animation, and music videos. The Super Deluxe production studio focuses on television series and feature films.[citation needed]
In September 2018, it was announced that Super Deluxe, alongside Blink Industries and Conaco, would be producing new episodes of the British web series, Don't Hug Me I'm Scared.[19]
On October 19, 2018, Turner Entertainment announced that it would be shutting down Super Deluxe, citing duplication with other WarnerMedia lines of business.[20][21]
On August 9, 2019, American entertainment company Fullscreen acquired the rights to Super Deluxe and has rebranded the company as Tatered, focusing on similar content as its predecessor.[22] The first Tatered video was uploaded on August 26, 2019, announcing the rebrand and future content.[23]
All listed video series from December 16, 2008.[24] Many of these series have made their way to individual YouTube channels, acquired by other networks, or evolved into larger shows.
