Adult Swim is outdoing themselves this year at San Diego Comic Con with three fun-filled days of press, panels, events and talent signings under the hot San Diego sun!

Thursday and Friday at the 'Con brought us show creators and voice talent from Childrens Hospital, Untitled Triumph / McBrayer Sitcom, Mike Tyson Mysteries, Rick and Morty, The Venture Bros., Robot Chicken, Mr. Pickles and Tim & Eric's Bedtime Stories.

In addition, the #1 brand activation at last year's convention by AdWeek, the Adult Swim Fun House, returned for a second year of Robot Pumps and Spasm Chasms. Nestled next to the Fun House, the Meatwad Full Dome Experience made its debut. This familiar fast-food friend guided guests on a journey through a mind-fudging interdimensional-space-coaster-love-canal.

Childrens Hospital conquered Comic Con on Thursday with a panel and signing featuring creator, executive producer and star Rob Corddry and Rob Huebel. The panel, moderator by Adult Swim's EVP and Creative Director Mike Lazzo, highlighted the triumphant return of Childrens Hospital in 2015 for a sixth season!

Friday saw an onslaught of Adult Swim talent taking over the Con!

At the Untitled Triumph / McBrayer Sitcom panel and press hour, Jack McBrayer, Robert Smigel (SNL, TV Funhouse, Conan), Triumph and Michael Koman (Eagleheart, Nathan for You), brought the house down with a lively discussion about their new half-hour live-action comedy series premiering on Adult Swim in 2015.

Mike Tyson, Rachel Ramras (MAD), Jim Rash (The Way Way Back, Community) and producer Hugh Davidson gathered for a panel, press hour and signing delighting the crowd. Mike Tyson Mysteries is produced by Warner Bros. Animation and premieres on Adult Swim this fall. Click here for a sneak peek.

Executive producers Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland, Chris Parnell and Spencer Grammer, of Rick and Morty fame, came out for a panel and press hour to introduce the Comic-Con fans to what they have in store for season two of Rick and Morty premiering in 2015 on Adult Swim.

Comic Con favorites, Jackson Publick, Doc Hammer and James Urbaniak, graced us with their presence for The Venture Bros. panel and press hour, where they chatted about the upcoming sixth season set to premiere in 2015 on Adult Swim.

And what would a Comic Con be without Robot Chicken and Seth Green! Seth was joined at their panel by Breckin Meyer, co-creator and executive producer Matthew Senreich, writer and director Zeb Wells, and co-head writer Tom Root. Robot Chicken is currently in premieres Sundays at 11:30 p.m. ET / PT on Adult Swim.
