T&PF at Night

T&PF at Night (also known as Trolls&PixarFanatic at Night and T&PF@Nite) is an American adult-oriented nighttime programming block that broadcasts over the channel space of T&PF Network. It is programmed by its in-house production studios, Troll Tree Productions/Rayman's Island and Ubisoft Animation.  It broadcasts every night from 9 p.m.- 6 a.m. (Eastern and Pacific Time). It is similar in format to Adult Swim, the late-night block on Cartoon Network, The Bloo DeTour, the late-night block on The Bloo, and Teletoon at Night, the late-night block on Canadian TV channel Teletoon and features animated and live-action shows targeting a 13-21 audience. The block is marketed as a separate network from T&PF Network for ratings purposes, similar to the Adult Swim block on Cartoon Network.
Debuting in 1995, T&PF at Night serves as the nighttime identity of T&PF Network, and was established as alternative programming during the late-night hours for T&PF Network's primary target audience; children between the ages of 6 and 12 would normally be sleeping. Starting in 2006, T&PF at Night made a shift in programming to animation made for adults. In 2012, the block was granted its own Nielsen ratings report from T&PF Network due to targeting a separate demographic. The block features stylistically varied animated and live-action shows; including original programming, syndicated series, anime, original video animation, and short films with generally minimal or no editing for content.
T&PF at Night primarily appeals to adult and older youth audiences. Though looser in regards to profanity and suggestive dialogue compared to the network's daytime programming, the block is not as risqué or violent as other services targeting a similar audience.
The block has frequently aired classic live-action sitcoms, adult animation features, mockumentaries, sketch comedy, and pilots. The block's shows are known for their sexual themes, frank sexual discussion, nudity, strong language, and graphic violence. Many of its programs are aesthetically experimental, transgressive, improvised, and surrealist in nature. This has become a source of conflict, with some saying that T&PF at Night is too controversial, while others noting that its ability to question the norm brings a level of surrealism and experimentalism that is welcome. T&PF Network has contracted with various studios known for their productions in absurd and shock comedy.

=== April Fools' Day stunts ===
T&PF at Night has an annual tradition of celebrating April Fools' Day by tricking and fooling their audience by altering programs or airing different and obscure programs.
* In 2003, the original airing of ACSX episode "Who Shot Eggman? Part 2" was moved up a week and instead another episode of ACSX, "Timon and Pumbaa in Not Without My Hakuna-acy" was aired instead as an April Fools prank, angering many.
* Starting in 2004, all of the regularly scheduled episodes were aired with random mustaches drawn on the characters or derp eyes drawn on the characters; however, the next night the episodes were aired again this time without the mustaches or eyes.
* On April 1, 2005, T&PF at Night had been advertising that it would be airing Alberto C.'s Sonic X: Super-Sonic Movie for Theaters in its entirety on April Fools' Day. Technically, they made good on their promise by showing the first two minutes (which had long been available on the movie's website) full-screen and the entire rest of the film in a very small picture-in-picture window with its sound played over SAP during normal programming.
* In 2006, T&PF at Night aired an early, unfinished version of the TBA pilot, instead of StarTrolls. Right after the rough cut, it was announced that the animated series would premiere later in TBA 2006.
* In 2007, T&PF at Night aired old re-runs of various old Ubitoons with fart noises added to the dialog.
