He's a PS1 character in a fictional game, the best part is, he even has the geometry issue the PS1 had, so his polygons and textures sometimes wiggle in areas.
That's what I thought, too, because he said buzz off, his sidekick was a millipede, he kinda looks like the Fly from The Mr. Frog Show, and Zach's whole thing with bugs.
>Low poly n64/ps1 era vg character >At least three iconic releases >Collectathon >Autistic victory dance >Franchise is dead now despite attempts to regain relevance >Owner company is run by cum guzzling AAA israelites
not sure what you mean, zach's delivery was great, especially as gwimbly. him threatening the ceo of the game company was delivered fantastically. Also, im literally a lyle hater when he's on oneyplays but i cant deny that he can put on a great performance when he voice acts
i dont watch that bestfriends play youtube chanel but i enjoy smiling friends because it reminds me of the newgrounds flash animation i grew up watching and you being an annoying homosexual wont change that
>One guy who's barely involved in making the show sometimes features the cast in his let's plays >Autistic anon is not pleased
Deprive yourself of quality, then.
>Bitches about a show that exists completely independently from a let's play channel it's extremely loosely associated with and whose jokes work independently from said channel and its community
It's like you WANT to complain about stuff, you petulant homosexual. If you don't like oneyplays so much then frick off and watch the show anyway, it's fine without it.
There's a moment in the new episode where the Banjo lookalike lunges at the CEO and not only Zach's mic quality was crustier than everybody else but it also peaked so hard that it made me lose my shit in an instant
How come 2d shows are still animated like this and everyone knows how to roll with it, but 3d animation had to get all photo realistic? 3dcg reality is its own place let people go there
They made AS a ridiculous amount of money compared to the budget spent on it, and one of the two co-creators is already neck-deep due to how many series he's made for AS. Of course they didn't cancel it.
Because:
First seasons always seem to release fast because they were often written a while ago
Covid
Writer's and Actor's strike (that's why Oneyplays couldnt air episodes with Zach for a while)
Warner/Paramount happening and a lot of staff getting cleared
Other personal projects
He has literally hooked himself onto the table leg as a last desperate attempt to physically anchor his crude facsimile of an existence to the crumbling shambles of a life he once believed was worth living.
most unfunny scene ever committed to film everyone who wrote drew and voice acted this should be raped to death flayed and beaten with mallets for committing the egregious sin of being
His sister's roided BF throwing up for no reason and then breaking down over a ruining an already terrible family dinner is my favourite gag in the series
A lot of people pretend its hilarious and the best caetoon ever, but it really isn't
I genuinely only like it because of Zach, I don't know why other anons are ashamed about it. It subjectively isn't that good. If I didn't know who Zach or Mike Stoklasa are, I wouldn't bother watching it. It's only hilarious if you know who they are. I'm not ashamed to adimit it
>A lot of people have the opinion that this show is funny, but because I disagree and am deeply autistic they're all wrong. I'm so glad I'm so smart and not a stubborn moron who can't comprehend different tastes.
FIFY
>If the co-creator leaves, it becomes worse. >"If Frasier leaves Frasier, nobody would watch it."
How long did it take you to think of this actually awful reason for not liking a random AS show, you weird petty mongoloid?
If the other guy left nobody would care, do you disagree?
I'm assuming your next reply will be you explaining how much you like him, and also what the frick his name is,without googling, yeah?
Just admit it and we're over. Who are you trying to defend?
>"I'm soooo smart I know what you're doing right now."
Are you an actual moron or do you voluntarily sit around wallowing in your own worthlessness? Cusack is still one half of what makes Smiling Friends Smiling Friends even if he's banana #2 regarding that show in particular. If he got replaced by a shittier showrunner (doubtfully) his legacy would probably be more positive, however.
>If the co-creator leaves, it becomes worse. >"If Frasier leaves Frasier, nobody would watch it."
How long did it take you to think of this actually awful reason for not liking a random AS show, you weird petty mongoloid?
My favourite parts of it are the shitpost-y things that are clearly Michael Cusack influences. The OneyPlays stuff is fun but it's certainly not the highlight for me.
been a fan of him since the darren and damo videos
Australians are not funny or likeable people as a whole, and Cusack is not an exception to that rule. However, he is a part of what makes the show work.
Didnt see the new stuff, but i enjoyed all the first season thoroughly. The brazil episode sucked balls though, is the new stuff similar to that or more like the first season?
>Mr. Millipede died in 2021
I thought for sure they were going to make a joke about COVID or Gwimbly thinking the vax killed him. I wonder if COVID jokes or off-limits by the network or something.y
>you really want to hear covid jokes in 2024?
What's wrong with that? Seems a bit silly we get so many climate change movies but nothing about something that actually impacted people.
Monk, every single game show, WWE, that shitty show with Danny Devito, Simpsons, Coronation Street, shows like Talent and X Factor, every single talk show etc.
>they didn't link the plot threads together and have the bully be an ex-gamer who needs to get a new Gwimbly game so he can smile again
C'mon, man. That would have been so easy.
>The point of the angry guy is that he's just a random psychopath who abuses the Smiling Friends policy and the only thing that brings him joy is killing a man.
It's literally pointless to add this stupid detail
It would have been funny because those are real people you meet. "Gamers" who just went fricking berserk at some point and became turbo chuds, when the dopamine stopped hitting.

It's weird they made a "Nintendo guys complain about Microsoft ruining Rare and only making shooters" when nowadays Halo is a dead franchise, Yooka Laylee fricking sucked and there's been a minor resurgence in 3D platformers the past few years. It's not 2008 anymore. But it was very funny anyway.
The space marine thing did feel very dated. The modern video game hero that's being pushed on players is the woman with bow archetype, not the space marine
Then again, there is Helldivers.

Desperately trying to be "topical" is a fricking waste of time.
Yeah, but the meta narrative of the episode was a corny old 90's mascot being forgotten by the modern game industry.
Doom and Halo are also basically retro legacy franchises at this point, like Mario. Yeah, they still make them, but it's not "the thing" anymore.
The Last of Us is the kind of thing the industry giants are pushing. That or Overwatch. The space marine fad peaked with Halo 3.

I feel like it's girls with gaudy assault rifles these days. Plus they all have that undercut hairdo because the aging nerds that make games still think it's the coolest, most badass look ever.
Gwimbly's voice reminded me of that weird/distinct sounding VA that was really popular in the 90s, the guy who voiced Pinkie from Pinkie and the Brain.
Well executed but ultimately didn’t make me laugh. I chuckled when the ceo sprayed ketchup on the warhammer looking guy though. I like the creativity of the show but it feels like it’s been getting less funny. A lot like S1 of Rick and Morty and how it failed to keep that vibe in the later seasons.
But really I may just be that I’m older now. I remember being 20 and asking my then cousin who was around 30 to watch s1 Rick and Morty with me and I laughed my ass off while he sometimes chuckled and said he would have really liked this when he was my age. Fast forward to me being 30 now and I feel the same way about Smiling Friends. Something I probably would have laughed my ass off when I was younger
Im a few weeks shy of 30. Season 1 of Rick and Morty was funny when it came out cause it was sorta fresh, but then they wanted an overarching storyline so they shat the bed.
Smiling Friends is still absolutely hilarious to me. Most likely because I grew up when NeoGeo was popular and a lot of my sense of humor was built from that. You can tell they care about the show from all the tiny details most people will miss.
lol what the hell, alright good for him i guess. Also its surprising studio yotta is working with them considering the falling out oney and egoraptor had. maybe zach is the bridge between all of this
>zach: "yeah the porn makes me super uncomfortable it's like south park yaoi i don't understand it" >also zach: puts charlie in a maid outfit
genuinely what did he mean by this
Not everything is a metaphor. It was a joke about how a sadist would take advantage of a poorly worded declarative statement like “I will do anything you order until I get you to smile.”
This. I definitely read a post somewhere of someone asking "what if their client wants to kill the Smiling Friends to make them smile", that edgelord felt like a knitpicky fan.
This show MADE ME SMILE. I do not feel well. I am not well. I thought maybe I’d be killed - shot to death. The Smiling Friends show made me laugh instead! Zach Handel and Michael Cusack are both of the very funny. Oh I’m gonna die for real. I am not ok. I jerked off to a fat girls. I’m sorry - I’m excited for seasuron 2.
What was Gwimbly supposed to be? Just a hillbilly critter?
Banjo Kazooie
Duh but like in the context of the show, what would he be?
a guy with an anal prolapse
Ohh that's what that was supposed to be.
More like BAMjo
he reminds me more of rayman or croc
I thought he was something of an offbrand crash bandicoot
He's a PS1 character in a fictional game, the best part is, he even has the geometry issue the PS1 had, so his polygons and textures sometimes wiggle in areas.
When you see the bald guy looking at the office, Quimbly looks like a few bundled pixels, nice detail
I was trying to figure out who his voice reminded me off and I realised he sounds like slippy in Lylat Wars
its a cross between Andy dick and 3d platformer mascot
Stamper
This
The Jacked Psychopath is Mick
>you pushed away the only person who cared about you
That stinger really struck me good.
So all of that was a power move?
a mosquito
That's what I thought, too, because he said buzz off, his sidekick was a millipede, he kinda looks like the Fly from The Mr. Frog Show, and Zach's whole thing with bugs.
Seem to be a crossover between Crash Bandicoot/Banjo Kazooie and Daniel Larson.

This show does nothing for me and the voice acting has gotten worse. Not just the friend casting but Zach has forgotten how to act.
thanks I'll let Zach know ahead of time for season 3
What do you mean thanks don't be a homosexual
Thanks, I'll let that anon know.
not sure what you mean, zach's delivery was great, especially as gwimbly. him threatening the ceo of the game company was delivered fantastically. Also, im literally a lyle hater when he's on oneyplays but i cant deny that he can put on a great performance when he voice acts
Which character was lyle?
the game company CEO
Oh yeah now I hear it
?si=VYERKeNleuWtXbyr
I must be a little toddler moron because I laugh out loud every time a character sticks their hand into the camera like that
It's appropriate since he initially became relevant by voice acting machinima shit
Why dislike Lyle?
Where can I watch S2E1 bros
You don't. It sucked anyway, you're not missing much
it was great, Cinemaphile will probably have a link in whatever smiling friends thread is up right now
Do you mean the april fools puppet episode? It's on YT. I though s2 hasnt started yet?
are we even getting a s2?
They aired S02E01 after 3 puppet remakes and then gave a date for the proper start of S2.
>after 3 puppet remakes
what does this sentence mean
They remade 3 episodes with puppets.
huh
were they worth the time and effort?
not really, the original animation is funnier than the puppets
The Shrimp episode is worth it for her.
streaming sites like 123movies have it

i dont watch that bestfriends play youtube chanel but i enjoy smiling friends because it reminds me of the newgrounds flash animation i grew up watching and you being an annoying homosexual wont change that
I also like newgrounds and this wasnt even newgrounds tier.
I very nearly watched it but found out its by a bunch of youtubers and people that play video games or something.
I have no respect for such people.

Go nurse your sore butthole zoomie. Then get some real life friends
Here's your (you), homosexual.
zachs voice is the funniest thing on this planet and any words that come out of his mouth for any character makes me laugh my ass off every time
There's a moment in the new episode where the Banjo lookalike lunges at the CEO and not only Zach's mic quality was crustier than everybody else but it also peaked so hard that it made me lose my shit in an instant
Highlight of the ep for me
His voice for DJ Spit is still the funniest shit I’ve ever heard from him.
Ok? Lmfao.

They made AS a ridiculous amount of money compared to the budget spent on it, and one of the two co-creators is already neck-deep due to how many series he's made for AS. Of course they didn't cancel it.
if it was so successful why did it take them 3 years to make it?
Because Cusack was working on other shit, they contributed to that Justin Roiland video game etc.
It's okay for shows to take time and not be rushed

What was wrong with Mr. Boss at the end?
He's an unhinged old man voiced by Marc M, that's what's wrong with him.
He just went nuts! I was kinda scared that they would kill him off lol.
Marc M is the best
I enjoyed the new episode. It’s a fun show and it’s perfect for the short runtime.
>Cinemaphilehomosexual came here to whine
And I'm seeing here that uh Tyler should go to hell. I don't know who Tyler is or what that means but uh..
I just noticed that he has a heart surgery scar lol.
That was probably my favorite line of the whole episode
is this how Australians live?
Yes
>Is this supposed to make me not want to kill myself?
wtf is happening with his leg?
He has literally hooked himself onto the table leg as a last desperate attempt to physically anchor his crude facsimile of an existence to the crumbling shambles of a life he once believed was worth living.

It's like saying Cusack is the best out of Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland at polishing shit.
well he is
idk if they did but it sounded like they used the DK64/banjo kazooie/tooie soundfont for this which if correct is a nice touch
Yeah but the sharp polygon models are obviously based on PS1 shit like Spyro.

Monk, every single game show, WWE, that shitty show with Danny Devito, Simpsons, Coronation Street, shows like Talent and X Factor, every single talk show etc.
its completely played out, everyone has moved on nobody wants to hear a jokes about it anymore.
We are in the "Pretend nothing happened" phase.

It answers an obvious question of
>What if someone abuses the Smiling Friends kindness?
And the answer is
>They smile
I guess, idk
I love how the abdomen on his back is basically a giant prolapse.
While watching the new episode, I constantly thought about the Rare at E3 video Michael Cusack made years ago.
YOU DONT EXIST!
It's weird they made a "Nintendo guys complain about Microsoft ruining Rare and only making shooters" when nowadays Halo is a dead franchise, Yooka Laylee fricking sucked and there's been a minor resurgence in 3D platformers the past few years. It's not 2008 anymore. But it was very funny anyway.
The space marine thing did feel very dated. The modern video game hero that's being pushed on players is the woman with bow archetype, not the space marine
Then again, there is Helldivers.
>A Doom Eternal/Master Chief/FPS parody

Those games are all 20 to 30 years old. That doesn't represent the "modern industry".
They're cultural icons anyway, and the latest Halo and Doom game was 2021 and 2020 respectively.

If we're honest, it was kind of just Mr Frog again, but with video game references.
Gwimbly's voice reminded me of that weird/distinct sounding VA that was really popular in the 90s, the guy who voiced Pinkie from Pinkie and the Brain.

The modern videogame hero is some sort of pop culture reference in the form of a skin.
Kind of ashamed at how hard I laughed during the ending with Boss freaking out.

3D Shrimpina is so beautiful...
Did anyone find an instagram?
>The little teeth
Holy frick haha
Was this a joke about Super Smash Bros. glitching or was he just going nuts?
rewatch the beginning of the episode
I don't know how my brain ignored that whole convo.
who are the renascence men? did you know that was gonna happen?
>renascence
I might be stupid
If you check out the tv screen, the smash bros characters flee in fear when Mr Boss starts his seizure
holy shit thats great
the joke is that it's random
it was honestly disappointing. was there even a single punchline or was it just lol so random and screaming? the cameo was pretty funny
>the cameo
what cameo?
He's referring to this scene
Aha, yeah that was great
Did the sound get quieter in certain scenes or was my rip bad?
myspleen?
It was fine live, but whoever recorded the stream for mega had a shit audio card cause the sound ducks whenever it peaks
Yep, noticed this too. At the cemetery after the explosion everything gets quieter
I noticed it during the live stream so it wasn't a ripper.
yikes then
Well executed but ultimately didn’t make me laugh. I chuckled when the ceo sprayed ketchup on the warhammer looking guy though. I like the creativity of the show but it feels like it’s been getting less funny. A lot like S1 of Rick and Morty and how it failed to keep that vibe in the later seasons.
But really I may just be that I’m older now. I remember being 20 and asking my then cousin who was around 30 to watch s1 Rick and Morty with me and I laughed my ass off while he sometimes chuckled and said he would have really liked this when he was my age. Fast forward to me being 30 now and I feel the same way about Smiling Friends. Something I probably would have laughed my ass off when I was younger
You lost your sense of humor. You'll regain it once you're in your 60s and stop giving a frick.
Im a few weeks shy of 30. Season 1 of Rick and Morty was funny when it came out cause it was sorta fresh, but then they wanted an overarching storyline so they shat the bed.
Smiling Friends is still absolutely hilarious to me. Most likely because I grew up when NeoGeo was popular and a lot of my sense of humor was built from that. You can tell they care about the show from all the tiny details most people will miss.
you sound like an insufferable homosexual
Literally just watch Superjail
Can’t be fully appreciated unless you’re on drugs
I do not care much for Superjail.
Every episode feels the same.
HGUUABLAUAUGBLAUUUUGALBAUUUG
i'm keeping track of how many times zach says the word "iconic". we're at 3.
was it kino?
yes
> Charlie's four eyes
Is this the first cartoon to address America's fentanyl crisis?
I HAD IT CANNED
OVER THE STORE
are they trying to set up multiple episode story arcs? i wanna know whats making the boss crazy
probably a one off thing
It's a character trait. He's supposed to be weird.
based marc m just wanted to shake his head in his hands and make insane noises thats all there is to it
We watchan all of Smiling Friends right now, come join frens movieCinemaphileDOTcom
get in here goobers, very comfy
ill give it up, the nugget dipping got me good
Poor Niall
SPHERICAL
I was surprised to see in the credits that Bicflame made this
Impressive that someone even tangentially related to MDE was allowed within 100 miles of an Adult Swim production.
And the singular worst mde affiliate at that, lmao
I'd kill for Charls to get his own show or something
what? source for julian being involved?
lol what the hell, alright good for him i guess. Also its surprising studio yotta is working with them considering the falling out oney and egoraptor had. maybe zach is the bridge between all of this
Yotta is owned by Tomar I’m pretty sure. At least I know Aaron has nothing to do with it
OOH OOH OOH
they're never gonna make an episode as good as the pilot, are they?
what? plenty of episodes have been just as good, the christmas episode for example was great
They have, but nothing will hit as good as the pilot because of it being the first Smiling Friends thing you watched.
The rest seems like repeats
They just did.
i'm rewatching and I noticed Greenblee farts when bends over to catch his cap from the ground
how did they get away with this?
'toss!!
is this a last of us reference?
I took as a joke about UFC.
holy shit moms room mentioned
>zach: "yeah the porn makes me super uncomfortable it's like south park yaoi i don't understand it"
>also zach: puts charlie in a maid outfit
genuinely what did he mean by this
One is played for laughs and the other isn't.
Yeah but he has to know it's encouraging it, he's active online and is friends with a gigacoomer porn artist.
he's requesting higher quality porn
The angry guy was a metaphor for insane/creepy viewers.
Not everything is a metaphor. It was a joke about how a sadist would take advantage of a poorly worded declarative statement like “I will do anything you order until I get you to smile.”
This. I definitely read a post somewhere of someone asking "what if their client wants to kill the Smiling Friends to make them smile", that edgelord felt like a knitpicky fan.
This show MADE ME SMILE. I do not feel well. I am not well. I thought maybe I’d be killed - shot to death. The Smiling Friends show made me laugh instead! Zach Handel and Michael Cusack are both of the very funny. Oh I’m gonna die for real. I am not ok. I jerked off to a fat girls. I’m sorry - I’m excited for seasuron 2.
