Adult Swim 'Pirate Purrrty on the Green'

Offsite - no badges are required

Looking for the purr-fect way to spend some time at San Diego Comic-Con? Adult Swim is back with claws out and cutlasses drawn, welcoming fans to the “Pirate Purrrty on the Green”, an unhinged outdoor activation anchored just outside the convention center (5th Avenue Landing and Convention Way. This year’s activation transforms last year’s pirate ship into a full-blown feline fantasy, mashing together pirate antics with all the cattitude you’d expect from Adult Swim.

Attendees can swing by Thursday, July 24 – Saturday, July 26 from 1p.m. - 7 p.m. daily for a paw-sitively wild time (entry is first come/first serve, and no badges are required).

There’s plenty of fur-midable fun to sink your claws into, like bouncing through Rick and Morty’s Buttworld Bounce House, pawing through plushies on the Common Side Effects Mushroom Hunt (and claim an exclusive plushie as your prize!), snapping a selfie in the Smiling Friends Break Room (with exclusive merch), and bring home a (plush) pet from the Adopt-a-Cuy Station, inspired by Women Wearing Shoulder Pads.

DIRECTV will also be providing a DIRECTV Face Painting Zone, where you can choose from custom designs inspired by Rick and Morty, SMILING FRIENDS, and more — plus you’ll get a framed photo souvenir. If you’re an early bird (or early cat), the first 750 fans each day get an exclusive Smiling Friends vinyl figure.

They’ll also be providing raffle giveaways during Saturday’s “Adult Swim Night of New”. And just what is that, you may be asking? Adult Swim will be featuring three evening “Pirate Purrrty On the Green” events all week long, including:

• Thursday, July 24 (7:15 p.m.) — “Robot Chicken” – A Celebration 20 Years in the Making – Come celebrate 20 years of hilarious stop-motion comedy with Matt Senreich, Seth Green and special guests. Get an inside peek at what it’s like to be a part of one of Adult Swim’s longest running, highly acclaimed shows.
• Friday, July 25 (7:15 p.m.) — Adult Swim Presents: Live Table Reads – Brace yourself for an exclusive live table read with the voice casts from Rick and Morty and SMILING FRIENDS that’s equal parts chaotic, emotional, and probably the best thing you’ll ever witness.
• Saturday, July 26 (7:15 p.m.) — Adult Swim’s Night of New – Attendees to this special outdoor screening event will be the first to experience a collection of never-before-aired Adult Swim content featuring full-length episodes of SMILING FRIENDS, Women Wearing Should Pads, Haha, You Clowns, and an early look at the season 8 finale of Rick and Morty, alongside more new Adult Swim content.

The fur-larity doesn’t stop there, as Adult Swim will also be taking over the Hilton Bayfront’s Indigo Ballroom with three Friday panels, including:

• Adult Swim’s Rick and Morty Season 8: The Panel 
• Adult Swim’s Haha, You Clowns Series Premiere Preview
• Adult Swim’s SMILING FRIENDS Season 3 Preview
