History
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]
Revival
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.
