How come this show went from a surreal comedy with a couple of guest e-celebs to being "every episode stars a YouTube animator"? Like, is that specifically season 2's gimmick or something?

Zach wants to help his buddies build up their IMDB credits.
>why does a guy who came from internet animation give a shout out to other internet animators
its just one of life's many mysteries
>the show made by YouTube animators features fellow YouTube animators
Wow it's almost like they respect and support each other or something
But they didn't do it in season 1. If you have a TV show and you want to help your e-buddies out, wouldn't you do it in the first season in case you don't get renewed?
they likely weren't fully aware of how big they were going to blow up and just kept things small and cameo-ey. now that they've hit mainstream success they're probably more able to pay for more guest spots.
The very first episode they did it
But they did?
>Mike Stoklasa
>Tom Fulp
>Oney
>David Firth
>Harry Partridge
>AVGN
>Chills
>Tomar
>Attempted to get Chris Chan for the grease puddle
Season 1 as many internet guests as it does episodes.
Hiring voices, most of whom only read a handful of lines, seems different than an entire episode dedicated to the gimmick of a YouTuber's schtick.

Goalpost moving. OP is a homosexual.
If the other anon is going to count a 2-second clip of AVGN as a "guest star", then I'm going to say there's a distinct difference between guest animation and guest voice.
>OP says nothing about guest animation
>"every episode stars a YouTube animator"
If you can't piece together what's being said using context clues, then maybe text-based discussion isn't for you. I wouldn't have said "stars an animator" if I wasn't obviously referring to their animation, I would've just said "stars a YouTuber".
This episode was boring as shit as result of them trying to mix these styles.
Isn't Tomar a professional voice actor by trade?
what was the avgn feature
His 3DPD face for a split second in season 1. He didn't voice any characters.
Satan
In the first season they were given a hard cap on the number of voice actors they could have (which, true fact, is literally the only Chris-chan didn't get to voice the puddle in the murder mystery episode).
Seemingly, things have changed with the second season.
They didnt do it much in season 1 because to guest star in a syndicated cartoon you have to be a member of SAG-AFTRA or a voice actor union which is honestly too much work for most people to consider. So yeah you can blame union mob bosses.
One of the main schticks of the show even back in s1 was the mix of animation styles. Getting online animators to animate characters in their own style is just an extension of this.
Homies help homies. Always.
Well, not all homies...
Or "Her" for that matter. Probably tried to at least.
I'm pretty sure he is blacklisted from the industry aside from indies
Irrespective of anything else, after the shit he pulled on the OneyPlays crew? Frick him.
Well, not all homies...
I genuinely doubt they could actually get a episode's worth of coherent dialogue out of corey to use.
God I hope Cory never ends up in Smiling Friends. What the frick does he even do for a living?
>What the frick does he even do for a living?
Play Sonic Adventure 2 on Mars.
I hope he does some animation for SF or something
the show is going to air as shorts in the future maybe even as filler/bumps
its basically newgrounds representative at AS
i think the show will level out around season 3 episode 2-4 and basically take its footing from there
>the show is going to air as shorts in the future
I kind of hate that the previews on the [AS] YT channel are basically half the fricking episode.
>have homies
>help homies
simple as
You really don't need to be that intelligent to know that people with millions of fans collaborating together makes more fans and everyone more money and freedom to make what they like to make and benefits everyone involved.
A lot of people cite Zach and Michael wanting to give their Newgrounds friends work. What a lot of people probably don't know is that the main executive producer of Smiling Friends (Cody DeMatteis) was also one of the guys behind Off the Air, which is an anthology show that's nothing but animations from YouTube. Since that show recently got cancelled, he's likely using SF as a way of keeping the spirit of OTA alive
They're spreading the love and it's hit or miss. But they know how difficult it is to try to make cartoons when you're fricking 15 years old and only like 5 people care. It seems like a tight knit community
It's not that bad.
Is the new episode out yet? I feel like I've been waiting two weeks.
Then you waited 2 weeks and missed 2 episodes and now you get 20 minutes of entertainment
Never mind found torrents.
mega?
It's on the pirate bay
The mega link is?
yeah the mega link is in a torrent on the pirate bay
I can't find it. Can you post the mega link here? Thanks babe.
I swear you people get moronicer with each passing thread.
That's pretty unnecessarily aggressive anon. I hope you don't act like that off the Internet.
Anyway I found the mega. Here it is for anyone else looking.

It's irritating. I always find the MEGA links by myself. Why are this people so lazy?
>I was mildly inconvenienced so everyone else should be too!
Pathetic crab mentality
that shit's fricking fun who cares, go be a buzzkill somewhere else you pathetic frick
OP is a homosexual
That is all
What's so great about this show? I watched one ep and it was mid. Judging from the threads, you also need to follow gazillion israelitetubers to fully get the show and enjoy its brand of comedy.
Is that it? People love the show because they're fans of some crappy podcast and all the other e-celebs?
You're right, they shouldn't help fellow animators with years of experience get their foot on the door, instead they should help crazy b***hes with colored hair who believe animation that didn't came from Disney is for chuds
Oh, so now Cinemaphile is on board with nepotism? Lmao.
Our nepotism is better then their nepotism
If you know exactly where a lot of hidden, untapped talent is, why wouldn't you use it?
Lack of direction
It's the show's equivalent to celebrity guests on The Simpsons.
