And they're unique, surreal, absurd, and deceptively wholesome brand of comedy has taken the internet by storm! So today, I wanna talk about Smiling Friends!

    To quote a random comment I saw, what makes this show works is that it actually feels like it was written for adults and not middle schoolers like most other adult cartoons

      (Popcorn raises up a record.)
      Aw sweet! I'm a sucker for tunes!
      Minidisky throws the record onto a record player.
      The record player starts playing slowed music before Specimen 8 appears.

      (Season 17 walks up to Specimen 8 and Minidisky.)
      THE NOISES ARE HARROWING! ELIMINATE IT IMMEDIATELY!
      (Season 17 kicks the disk away.)
      MY DISK!
      Oh. uhhh-

      (Pot) Sorry, I can't look right now. I'm trying to practice how long I can keep my eyes shut.
      (Bush) Why?
      (Pot) Nacho's challenging me to a look-away contest! It takes a lot of eye-shutting, you know.
      (Bush) Oh, well, alright then. Well, what about you Nonagon? Do You know what this is?
      NO-
      [Bush] Aw, that's ok. Thanks anyways.

    You put my main reason for liking it very nicely.
    In most adult animated shows, you SEE a family, you HEAR them talk to each other nicely in those short-lived tender moments, but you never really FEEL like they actually care about each other. Those tender moments always get ruined by one of the characters barreling in and being a dick. The characters are always insulting each other for no reason or screwing each other over. It all feels too scripted and robotic, no matter how zany the scenario is. It's almost mind-numbing.
    Smiling Friends feels more like a group of employees just trying to make the most of the world they're in. It feels almost relatable, which I know is a word that gets thrown around a lot to describe the conversations in this show. I feel very engaged because I genuinely don't know what's gonna happen next, and it's such an authentic-feeling type of chaos.
    I've seen other people say the same, but I genuinely much prefer the types of adult animation that don't rely on just sex, drugs, cussing and violence. I don't mind that stuff, but when every single one of your punchlines is one of those things, it gets old so fast.

    As someone who's been watching Oneyplays for a long time 99% of the show is hypotheticals that have been previously brought up in the let's plays. It's almost like a canonization to the TH-cam stuff.

    Part of why the show works so well is that it's a real, albeit exaggerated portrayal of our world that doesn't lean too much to an "everything and everyone sucks" nor the "yay the world is wonderful place! :)" narratives as shown by Charlie and Pim. They're just two funky dudes who have jobs, try to do them best they can, and hopefully help people along the way.
    Because, between making the world shittier or making it a bit better, Smiling Friends tells us it's worth it to try the latter-- and I think that's an amazing message for an adult show

    This is just slightly related to smiling friends but i need to mention it.
    I was rewatching Arcane and I got to the part where Vi and Caitlyn go to the brothel, she gives up Caitlyn to some random timid girl, but then I realized that her name was PIM
    All I could thing during the rest of the episode was PIM saying “I love Caitlyn Charlie, I LOVE CAITLYN!”

    My favorite thing about the show is how it doesnt

    What i love about this show is that (for the most part) the characters act like a real person would in these situations, and that we just get scenes of them being regular people in such a strange chaotic world. the jokes kinda just feel like something funny your friend would say while your hanging out.

  • @MelodicQuest

    My favorite ending of an episode is 'Enchanted Forrest'. It's so weird to feel happy knowing the insane series of events that led up to it. And the characters know it too, so it's just this awkward moment that just sits for a bit.

  • @TheEpicBoricua
    @TheEpicBoricua 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    my favorite thing about this show has to be the group's actual respect and love for each other, shown a lot in the season 2 finale. And just overall the real conversations they have with each other in general. It feels grounded idk lol I feel like other adult animations attempt this but never have a full episode of a real life situation ex. the last episode of season one where they're in the airport. I think the balance of real opinions and personalities in between the zaniest and wacky scenarios they're put in is just wonderful man. It really keeps you on your toes and rewatching it just gets better. This show gonna take the stoner merch throne.

  • @Xanegoh
    @Xanegoh 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Smiling Friends works because it doesn't feel like it was written by/for edgy fourteen year olds who think spamming profanity and sex jokes and having senseless violence is the height of comedy. That's the biggest problem with a lot of "adult" comedy cartoons. Most are just trying to be Family Guy clones, only they end up being worse. I watched (read, sat through) Titan Maximum, and the only thing I can give any praise towards it is the stop-motion animation. The show is basically: what if the characters from Voltron, and other similar 70's mecha anime, were just a bunch of assholes? That's the joke. That's the only joke. There isn't any other joke. It's parody of the worst kind because it's just lazy.

  • @thebigmystery7841
    @thebigmystery7841 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    12:45 It wasnt until you and shaferillas made me realize this aspect of the show and i think thats why i love it too. As they put, no one who doesnt deserve it gets a bad ending in an episode. You dont have characters that are nice or decent or just needing help ever get punished and usually have a good ending to things. For example both the man in the first episode with the gund and the princess in the enchanted forest episode. Both characters got a decent ending even with all the chaos and violence around them or implied violence. Its refreshing to see a show thats not afraid to do over the top type of humor but also recognize when its best used and best not used. It makes the jokes and things that happen way more satisfying.

    You'd be surprised, but Rick and Morty has actually almost dropped the absurd edgy humor from the earlier seasons.
    Rick tries to and succeeds at being nicer to his family, Morty gets actual character growth, Summer and Beth actually get some episodes dedicated to adventures with specifically them, etc.
    It's not the best, but it has certainly gotten far better. The initial Bush World pseudo-pilot is far from how the show walks and talks now, but in the first three-ish seasons it very much felt like the Bush World pseudo-pilot.

    • @Cye_Pie
      @Cye_Pie 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      That's for the best, to be honest. It also fits Rick as a character. In the earlier seasons, he keeps repeating things like "life doesn't matter" and "love is only a chemical in your brain." Still, we do see that he loves and still misses his wife, and that he likes living, even if he doesn't admit it.
