Adult Swim Brain Trust (also known as Anime Talk Show) is an animated television special that aired on Cartoon Network's late night programming block, Adult Swim, on November 4, 2004. The special revolves around the unofficial pilot for "Squidbillies". It is often considered the very last episode of "Space Ghost Coast to Coast" since it follows the same format as the show, with Space Ghost interviewing guests. The short was dubbed "Anime Talk Show" due to it following the premiere of "Perfect Hair Forever", which aired in place of what was supposed to have been the premiere of "Squidbillies". It was given the official name "Adult Swim Brain Trust" when it was uploaded to YouTube and the Adult Swim website in 2012.

However, it is not uncommon to see either the slowest swimmer racing in the second slot (creating an order of second-fastest, slowest, third-fastest, and then fastest), or an order from slowest to fastest (an order of slowest, third-fastest, second-fastest, fastest).

Octopuses mainly move about by relatively slow crawling, with some swimming in a head-first position. Jet propulsion, or backwards swimming, is their fastest means of locomotion, followed by swimming and crawling. When in no hurry, they usually crawl on either solid or soft surfaces. Several arms are extended forwards, some of the suckers adhere to the substrate and the animal hauls itself forwards with its powerful arm muscles, while other arms may push rather than pull. As progress is made, other arms move ahead to repeat these actions and the original suckers detach. During crawling, the heart rate nearly doubles, and the animal requires ten or fifteen minutes to recover from relatively minor exercise.
