      SAME SHOOOOOOOW

      Is the main character Weird Matt?

      Disregarding the obvious bait I am curious how much people who never followed Zach and the OneyPlays posse enjoyed smiling friends. I enjoyed smiling friends a lot, but at times I felt the humor could be so niche it might turn people away and the ones that it didn’t already heard these jokes from their podcast/let’s plays.

      It's neat, but all discussion gets ruined by the Charlie fanboys (people love him for being negative like all the other trashy adult shows)

        Shut up. If both of the main characters were exactly the same, it would be worse. Having more cynical characters hasn't been deboonked just because some bad shows do it.

          your vague feelings are moronic and not an argument. you're talking out your ass.

          dude you just don't get it. the writers clearly had family guy inspiration.

      I loved the last episode where Charlie meets the devil, the show's modern influence touches on short-term dopamine rushes which is a unique form of depression. I think it's got a lot more in store.

      I really liked Smiling Friends, it pretty much perfectly matched my sense of humor.
      Actually, after watching Smiling Friends and liking it I started watching OneyPlays since I thought Zach was funny.

      I knew about oneyplays and sleepycast and all that before the show, I told a friend about it who didn't know about oney and everything, she watched it with her boyfriend and they both loved it. Neither of them knew about oneyplays or anything like that

    I think it was good and has some great moments, but it's not exactly groundbreaking. I think it relies a bit too much on "characters speaking awkwardly/normally" and being kinda out there, but it still falls back on some pretty generic bits.

    And honestly I think whenever it tries to make some points (Mr Frog episode, Charlie speaking to the devil), it's not a big stretch to some of the more preachier Family Guy moments. Like yeah the devil being reliant on short-term dopamine rushes is kinda funny but you don't need to literally have a character say it. And having an awkward interaction with a delivery driver is relatable but I feel it's been done before. Compare that to the rotoscoped guy calling Pim old, which is fricking wierd and great.
    Whatever, it's a fun show and I'll watch the next season.

    You're moronic but I didn't like it either. Bullshitting with your friends hypothetical humor doesn't translate well into situational comedy and to top it off, there wasn't much of Zach or Cusack's humor they're known for, especially Cusack's.
    People just wanted internet animators to succeed so bad they kangaroo jacked themselves into liking it.

    Why people get so butthurt over Oney when he's just a voice actor and music guy in Smiling Friends?

    The show is from Michael Cusack, you know Bushworld adventures guy and Zach Hadel the Get out of my Car guy.

        Also, family guy stole their jokes from the internet so if there "just happens" to be any i think its fair trade.

    because it was made by Zach and he has a pretty big AS following thanks to Oneyplays/NG. looking back at it I kinda agree with the humor thing though, it was cool to see him finally make something but this show didn't hit all the way for me. Plus its VA cast consisted mostly of has-been youtuber homosexuals piggybacking off his popularity instead of real voice actors which was slightly infuriating given how fricked Zach himself has been by his own industry
