Super Deluxe was an entertainment company owned by Turner Broadcasting. The company's main output was in online video, television series, and documentaries. [2]
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]
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]
Among these videos are Donald Trump related videos by Vic Berger, a frequent collaborator for the comedy duo Tim & Eric. Each of these videos remixes various debate appearances with air horns and crowds chanting Trump's name. [10] [11] During both the 2016 Republican National Convention and the 2016 Democratic National Convention, both Berger and Tim Heidecker covered the events on the Super Deluxe channel. [12] [13] [14] Berger also created an " Oscar bait" version of the 2015 film Straight Outta Compton for Super Deluxe. [15]
In 2017, Vicente Fox, the former President of Mexico, appeared in a series of videos on the channel. In these videos, Fox criticized Trump on a variety of issues including his proposal to build a wall between America and Mexico and his Cinco de Mayo taco bowl tweet. [16] [17] [18]
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]
Various Super Deluxe programs have featured celebrities such as Billie Eilish, Maria Bamford, Richard Belzer, Norm MacDonald, Bob Odenkirk, Tim & Eric, Chelsea Peretti, Nick Swardson, Nathan Fielder, Oliver Tree, Toby Radloff, and Mike Krol.
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.
