The people who dislike this show are kind of right. You can't have it both ways...
You can't spend your whole life being an edgy reactionary, only to then make what is essentially a neopuritan manifesto.
You can't have a setting which is comically cynical, and then go on to critique nihilist ideology.
You can't have your entire brand be about appealing to Internet shut-ins, and then directly insult them.
As funny as Smiling Friends is, I totally disagree with its messaging.
You're not that guy
>messaging.
The show has a point?
It's a "centrist" show made by two people who describe themselves as being somewhat left. Just more hippie nonsense, even if it plays both sides it still kowtows to the status quo and has very little actual insight.
It's not trying to say anything, it's just trying to be funny, I think putting political labels on it is against what the show goes for and might be why you don't like it
Nice ooo's
Imagine taking pride in being pseudointellectual. Go watch Hanna-Barbera then if you want cartoons which don't say anything.
>pseudointellectual
I don't think you know what that means.
Zach Hadel is a conservative kek
Is that why the most conservative thing he's ever done online is do an impression of Donald Trump? Being against porn doesn't exactly make you right-wing, especially not when most conservatives are literal coomers.
Zach Hadel is an unironic fascist kek
he likes fashion and being on a noble quest, fascism is just a small part of it
>*complains about politics*
>*complains about a show being “centrist”*
What do you want? It’s a great show, you hate cause it’s not political enough
I literally said in the last line of the OP I enjoyed the show, stop being schizophrenic.
You sound no different from a troony who wants representation in everything
There's no real message, it's just a big shitpost
*poops on you*
>everything needs to appeal to some sort of political agenda
OP, have a nice day. It will spare you of a lot of frustration.
"neopuritan manifesto"
I can smell your room. Clean your sheets and go on a date.
I'm edgy and I think the messages and morals is fantastic
I'm comically cynical and hate nihilism
I'm an internet shut in and think the "insults" are respectable and true enough
I'm sorry but if you don't understand that the whole hope and friendship thing being done by characters who are outright misanthropes and idiots I don't know what to tell you.
That's the entire joke.
I think the pilot was great but the rest of the show didn't make me laugh once.
I found it to be mid as frick
Lowkey mid??? Fr fr???? No cap???????????
Name three hilarious bits from the entire show, not counting the pilot
Not him but the funniest scenes in my opinion were
1. Most of the enchanted forest episode namely the "you kiss your dad on the mouth", the treasure falling on the dragon and killing it in the music number, and the plot twist involving Mip.
2. Both of the "Get out of me head!" scenes from the frowning friends episode.
3. Charlie's interactions with the annoying demon in the Christmas episode.
4. The realistic argument in the Brazil special.
I liked the fast food episode.
The Brazil episode was lame to me. Felt like a it’s always sunny bit that ran too long
It felt like a Smiling Friends bit that ran too long.
I got no message from watching this. I doubt the Hobbit parody episode or the Salty murder mystery were trying to teach you a lesson. Not even Desmond's episode.
This is isn't that deep. Please contain your autism.

Yeah, okay. You can just say you don't like the show, no one gives a frick. It's really not that good.
What is it with people and coming up with the most absurd and mentally unwell reasons to justify why they don't like this show? Just say "I didn't think it was funny" you fricking freak.
>smiling friends thread
Nice
>it's a stealth defense thread of the homosexuals who dislike the Frowning Friends episode cause they felt attacked by it
Not nice
You'd think it would be the Satan episode that really fricking shook people, that one basically called out like 99% of depressed people on the internet
>You can't have a setting which is comically cynical, and then go on to critique nihilist ideology
big death of the author
the show is independant of who made it and subject to the will of the audience
The will of the audience is to "Zach and Chris and Chris and did you know Zach and I wonder if Zach Chrisses his Zach"
I don't see anyone talking that way here except you.
>You can't spend your whole life being an edgy reactionary, only to then make what is essentially a neopuritan manifesto.
Is it even true? Why would that matter even if it is true?
>You can't have a setting which is comically cynical, and then go on to critique nihilist ideology.

Explain to me why the LatinAmerican dub censored all the swearing on this show yet they added even more swearing than the original in the dubs for Harley Quinn and Mike Tyson's mysteries who air on the same channel?
i asked someone to explain to me why they find it funny and they could say is
>its cuz everything that happens could totally happen in real life!!
>>its cuz everything that happens could totally happen in real life!!

You can tell this show found its audience because 90% of the arguments against its critics are literally just "you're mad because you're the target demographic it's criticizing". like if someone shoots you in the dick and you scream your head off at them, and they respond by huffing and saying you're just mad because they actually hit you
>you're mad because you're the target demographic it's criticizing.
I didn't see the show, but I think that's true.
The only show I know where the pilot is the best episode.
Sometimes, I like to imagine it's Zach himself who forced this puritan meme and sometimes makes these threads.
It makes it less sad.
thanks, Pepe poster
back to your room now
Can I have some ice cream before I go back
Only if you admit that you’re actually insecure and all the mean things you say about Neopuritangay are projection
okay
>neopuritan manifesto
>critique nihilist ideology
>its messaging
Stop fricking denying it, you cryptofundie piece of shit. You shouldn’t even be allowed to post here.
How does it feel to be mocked by the icon of your obsession.
you can do all 3 of these things. are you moronic?
Stuck in short term dopamine cycles?
don't care, looking forward to season 2
You're imagining politics everywhere. It's just a funny cartoon show. Unironically just get off the internet.
Can’t a show just be kind of funny and entertaining?
It's just not that funny or well animated.
I guess you have to be a fan of the e-celebs who made this thing to truly enjoy it. I don't know who they are and was bored after 1 episode. Also the voices are annoying.
I still don't understand why Cinemaphile cares so much about it. I watched it. I immediately forgot about it.
Same, although it left a lingering sensation of having been in philosophical conversation with a severely mentally unsound and incredibly obtuse individual for the past hour, and a desire to reclaim that hour somehow.
Don't hurt someone, man.
