@@arempy5836 I think the war isnt really relevant. It's probably just a joke about how silly and funny the characters we follow are while the World is going thru something as horrible as war
I like to believe that Glep is from the enchanted forest because he almost always wears a wizard hat and speaks in a language that no one else does, even if they can understand him. And it’s definitely not Spamish
I could see them doing an episode that's just a mockumentary about the Smiling Friends. They go through the whole life history of each cast member, including another fifth Smiling Friend that we've never seen. Some of the details specifically confirm some of the wacky fan theories and reddit speculation. Then, at the end, it pans over to Pim and Charlie watching the show on TV. Charlie: "None of that was true! Like, everything they said about us was just made up. We talked to that guy for hours... and he took notes and everything... and they just made stuff up!" Pim: "Aww, come on Charlie. It was still fun to see ourselves on TV right? Even... even if they... didn't get that story about my 12th birthday right..." Charlie: "Dude, MY MOM watched that! She probably thinks I'm a criminal now!"
One interesting comment I saw stated that the reason Allan sucked on Charlie's nose and doesn't remember doing so is because he was high on painkillers from his crucifixion at the hands of the glimblies.
One thing that was missed was that James insulted Tyler on the gwimbly call. Tyler is also the name of the fifth smiling friend who was fired by the boss this season. Considering how James seems to have been at the Halloween party, maybe he already knew about the smiling friends, but had a bad experience with Tyler trying to make him smile, causing him to call him out with gwimbly, then trash the office in revenge?
I'm hoping for one or two more seasons at the very most, any more than that and the creators will get bored. Hopefully they don't just give up creative control to the studio when they move on - that's how you get Modern Simpsons.
Wait a minute, is the "Tyler" mentioned by Gwimbly the same "Tyler" who got fired in the final Season 2 episode? Edit: Shoutout to TheShut1 who clarified that Tyler actually appears in Season 2, Episode 7, not in Episode 8.
I was about to ask if there is connection between those Tylers too lol. (Btw a lil nitpick- it wasn't the final episode, it was Spamtopia episode and the final one was Rotten the Snowman)
WAIT A MINUTE!! You just made me realize since James is the one who requested cameo, he told Tyler to go to hell... TYLER is the 5th smiling friend who is apparently Charlie's best friend and they go for drinks often... and James was in love with Charlie. Was James jealous of Tyler? I honestly can't tell if this was all planned and it's genius or I'm just insane.
Smiling Friend's Spamtopia captured the psychadelic and colorful aura of _Yellow Submarine_ while keeping its chaotic nature, which the show achieved what _Problem Solverz_ can't.
Joel Haver's character is actually not exactly rotoscoped! Rotoscoping is done by hand, but Joel uses a program that automatically follows his recorded form from an overlay that he puts on top of it. It's far from a perfect program, which is why the characters in his skits (and in Smiling Friends) do that weird clipping and stretching with the colors and lines. He actually talks about his process on his channel and it's really cool to see how the metaphorical sausage is made in this case. So I guess it's more similar to the CGI special effects that movies like Marvel and stuff will put over the actors who are actually just wearing spandex and pingpong balls....just like.....a lot more shitty (in a hilarious way)
For anyone curious about this, i also recommend looking into datamoshing, and how video compression works. Captain disillusion did a video on it. Its a similar practice of puppeting pictures or drawings with video motion.
Heavily recommend checking out his video to anyone interested. It's a very creative use of new technology and part of the reason I think AI could aid a lot in animation one day. Still a long long way to go, but I bet one day it could handle a lot of grunt work.
Wow. This all sounds like super impressive stuff. I’ll definitely check those videos out! Who knew a comment on a Smiling Friends video would incite me to look up ai and data manipulation tech
I was always interpreted critters to be more of a class of creatures rather than a full on race since it has entirely different types of critters and stuff like that, I don't think Spamish characters really are critters but they could be, nor do I think shrimp is a critter but instead an actual well shrimp, at least that's what's implied
13:37 I actually think that Charlie never got to get a good look at Earth, since he was in God’s fist and was hurled down at Mach I don’t know. There was no way he could have seen anything but a blur. 15:45 I love how Charlie avoids Alans second nom, he actually was uncomfortable!💀 17:09 Bro forgot the one Human-Critter marriage in the show. Glep and Marge.
It's also worth mentioning that Dr Psychotic squished the worm with the book "The God Delusion" by Richard Dawkins, which was referenced in an Oneyplays skit/hypothetical you can search up called Tomar and the Mama Mia Trench
@@zeepsterd Yeah, if you go to right after the plane crash at around 5:10 in the episode you can hear him ask Siri to "call the hospital man." Of course its not 100% confirmation that he actually arrived at the hospital in time but, I believe in him.
@@Shazam1998 I think it's just high tech animatronics. He got a realistic giant sea monster to believably swallow a pirate ship full of living skeletons after all.
4:17 I think Allen is actually referring to the war that we saw in Season 2 Episode 2 "Mr. President." The war that is happening because of Prime Minister Mr. Blingo.
My theory is that Glep's gibberish explanation in the president episode was actually him saying he's frog's VP. It'd make sense why all the SF would immediately concede, as it's obvious a presidential candidate would vote for themself.
I had the idea that the episodes don't aire in chronological order during the rotten the snowman episode. All because at the end when Mr boss yells "merry Christmas!" And pim tells him that was six months ago, the episode came out the 25th of June, making it six months since Christmas of 2023 😱 so that could mean the end of the episode occurred this past month and the rest of the entire episode occurred last Christmas
3:10 Fun theory about the "clipping" with "Doug", but it's actually a characteristic of ebysynth, the program Joel Haver (who played Doug & makes comedic shorts on yt) uses for rotoscoping. It uses AI to generate movement between key frames & that smearing/"clipping" happens when there's too much motion for it to properly process... Great video as usual, looking forward to pt 3!
13:18 ive been getting that idea as well. Specifically when it came to the spamtopia episode, where Charlie mentions the "nose bite" was "recent" I do think the whole paperclip solo mission for Alan had happened *before* the pilot as well. Just because I think that's why Alan would be so on top of the paperclip count. it would be very interesting to try and build a timeline of what is most likely to be the episode order.
I just assumed when Alan was mentioning the war, he was referring to Mr.blingo, since we do see his troops invade a country, it'd make more sense than a "blink and you'll miss it" visual gag about the critter wars
Remember that James (from Idaho) asks Gwimbly to tell Tyler to go to hell. Later in the series, we find out who Tyler might be. The Boss fires one of the Smiling Friends, and who does he choose? Tyler (the beloved). It could just be a common name, except the Smiling Friend who is the most outraged by Tyler's firing? Charlie, to whom James (the client) is deeply attached. Perhaps this is further evidence James (from Idaho) and James (the client) are one and the same, because he views Tyler as competition for Charlie's affection.
I have a small mini-theory; What if Mr frog is an evolved spamtopian? We see he talks fast(like spamtopians) and repeats words/stutters a lot(maybe he doesn't have a perfect grasp of the English language like he came from another planet). This would also explain his violent tendencies.
I feel like the first thing about Spamtopia is kinda a stretch. I don't think the voice has anything to do with any of those shows. That text to speech that been used in a lot of memes and other things. I don't think it's a reference to anything but if it was it would probably be Bonzi Buddy. Other than that absolutely amazing
So while the Simpson predicts things, smiling friends just makes them happen instantly?!?! This show is truly beating the adult animated competition in all fields lol
James shows up at the smiling friends office randomly after seeing it on the gwimbly cameo in the background, likely trying to find gwimbly to bully him
When Charlie says “I fuckin love science” it’s a reference to a Facebook page of the same name that would post bill Nye or Neil Degrasse Tyson quotes or facts that were dubious at best”
The fact that Smiling friends, the most unserious and hilarious show ever, might have a reference to The Last Of Us Part 2, one of the most depressing and stressful games ever is honestly incredible
Heres one. I think there is evidence that Mr.Boss was fighting against an anti-critter side of a war. He probably had something against a critter who looked like pim. Mr.Boss uses tricks to unsettle Pim, like in the Halloween epsiode where he goes behind Pim while talking about the Bridge, the first episode when he does that creepy smile, or in the spamtopian episode where he "teleports" Pim to the car. Food for thought
I hope Season 3 will have Ted from Question For Ted appear. The signs have been there from the start, and with him making a cameo in Spamtopia, it is only a matter of time.
Don't know if you'll see this but 13:02 reminded me, in the Enchanted Forest episode, the bomb Mip sends to the princess looks shockingly similar to the ones the Unabomber made.
It’s probably not deep but it’s interesting that Oscar and the fun twins not only look alike but have different line art than all the other spamtopia people we’ve seen
The Spamtopia voice brings back memories sf this weird set of videos I saw some years ago on TH-cam with the head from the “stonks” meme and a weird orange thing that was somehow really good
I don't think this is the inspiration but I got to say that Oscar truly reminded me of a Roblox game I played when I was younger. I think the game was called roblox NPCs are becoming smart. I think the main NPC had the same voice as him and it could become just as goofy and random as spamtopia
My headcanon is that James was jealous of Charlie and Tyler's relationship, which we see at the beginning of S2 E7, so he went to confront Tyler after the Cameo. Only to end up finding Charlie and end up growing attached to him in his own messed up way.
in the frownin friends episode its mentioned that the peanut guy used toxic pesticide on his peanuts farms, and well, charlie´s grandma died from eating one as its mentioned on the shrimp episode 😭😭
Bruh Charlie and Tyler are kind of close and James probably told Tyler to go to hell because he's jealous. Also, James might be totally psychotic, so much so that he wanted to spend his birthday with Charlie but he likes him so much that he reacted abnormally and started being a super asshole.
i was abt to comment , its so neat how it all lines up.. i wonder if james will ever come back in the show, i hope he does and something happens. feels so weird to have his character subtly explored overtime without him even being in the episodes if they were just never gonna use him again
I dont think you're wrong about dr psychotic and his brother being part spamish, but I do think the reasoning provided at 3:16 are wrong. Dr Psychotics brother is played, and animated by Joel Haver. Joel does a bunch of comedy videos in the style of his character on smiling friends, and the animation is kind of jank. That jankiness made it's way through onto smiling friends. I'd recommend checking him out, he's made some darn funny videos.
So next question, what is the difference between live action humans like the president and animated humans? And is Mr. Boss human? (I think he mightve used to be but has been changed)
This might be a stretch. But what if those are humans from our world who can interact with the smiling friends world? Remember in ep1 how that thing waves at the audience? Well mister frog interacts with the live action woman at the end of his debut episode. So perhaps it's possible to travel between worlds
Amazing video, I loved the style of your content and how receptive you were with the comments of the last video Thank you for this, just subscribed and I hope to see more of you!
I just realized that Shrimpina's Jason who died in a motorcycle accident could also be Mr. Boss' son who was brought back to life with the red jewel thingy back then too!
What about the the peanuts?! In the shrimp episode Charlie said his grandma died from a peanut. Then in the frowning friends episode we see Mr.Peanut who says he put toxic pesticides in his peanuts. This could imply Charlie's grandma died from a toxic peanut. I don't know if Charlie grandmother we saw in the hell episode is supposed to be the same grandma. Also, my damn peanuts went sour
I hate that you missed one of the greatest hidden lore…. TYLER!!!! In the beginning of the Spamtopia episode we see the boss firing a fifth smiling Friends member called Tyler, who is a realistic man. Also Charlie get’s mad when he gets fired, it’s worth noting that Charlie is the one who’s always trying to bring in a fifth smiling friends member as both he did in this episode and at the wedding. But also….. In the Gwimbly episode Gwimbly said “and also I should tell Tyler to go to Неll? I don’t know who Tyler is or what that means” Well now we know who Tyler is and considering that James from Idaho could be the same James who ripped Charles nose, that either implies that both Tyler and James are good friends who are pranking each other’s or that James genuinely hates Tyler and wants to kill him.
the critter war could have nothing to do with humans at all too. going by those numbers anyway.. but yah, u already confirmed there are sub species of critters. im sure they dealt with racism in their own society's as much as we do. the Critter War could be separate sects of critters warring amongst eachother, sans any humans. just sayin..
Live, Laugh, Love smiling friends part 2
live,laugh,lobotomies
Considering that Alan says he "wants to see the Updates on the war" heavily implies that said war that Alan talks about is still ongoing
Yes, but we don't know what that war is. I don't think it's the critter war, it might be Blingostan
@@arempy5836 I think the war isnt really relevant. It's probably just a joke about how silly and funny the characters we follow are while the World is going thru something as horrible as war

Can't wait for Zach and Micheal to see this and just fuck up any and all lore as a gag

Their lore is kind of a side-effect of being consistent. Though stuff like Mr. Frog actually being a demon would count.
Would make for a good April fools episode

Smiling Friends is that one show that just can introduce new characters and have them blow up without context.
I don’t know if you mean blow up as in “explode” or blow up as in “blow up in popularity” but both are equally correct.

It won’t cause it’s certified kino.
It fell oueff.
I recall zach saying he doesn't want it to go on for to long
So it probably won't
I don't mean to alarm you so please stay calm but I did see Tomar dragging the show towards a huge cliff
I'm hoping for one or two more seasons at the very most, any more than that and the creators will get bored. Hopefully they don't just give up creative control to the studio when they move on - that's how you get Modern Simpsons.
I think Charlie’s demon hunting costume is a reference to Hugh Jackman’s Van Helsing movie.

It's interesting how there are actually 2 categories of humans, a drawn one and the one portrayed by real actors.

Zach continues gaslighting in everything he does
no doug is made with a keyframe using ai to draw the rest of photos so the clipping is purely something they just couldnt fix
I have a small mini-theory;
What if Mr frog is an evolved spamtopian? We see he talks fast(like spamtopians) and repeats words/stutters a lot(maybe he doesn't have a perfect grasp of the English language like he came from another planet). This would also explain his violent tendencies.

I imagine Gwimbly, Groxia and Troglor (and perhaps Doug and his mom too) could be lumped with the Spamtopians into a ''digital people'' category.
5:14 “we don’t judge… well I wouldn’t say that” 😂😂
huge reach there with the rotoscope thing.
thats just because of the program that joel haver (the guy who is rotoscoped) uses
The Tyler that got told to go to hell by James might of been the same Tyler that got fired in episode 7
So while the Simpson predicts things, smiling friends just makes them happen instantly?!?! This show is truly beating the adult animated competition in all fields lol
James shows up at the smiling friends office randomly after seeing it on the gwimbly cameo in the background, likely trying to find gwimbly to bully him
I like how no question how Pim knows Latin lol
Another pen pal that only writes in Latin.
Doug is played by Joel Haver, the rotoscoped style is one he does for his own channel. So it might be a stretch to say there is a link there.
Zach with the Wolverine cosplay in the interview cracks me up
Doug can only clip through his body because of how Joel haver animates
The scene where doug walks in on professor psychotic is absolutely a reference to that one chris chan clip

My headcanon is that James was jealous of Charlie and Tyler's relationship, which we see at the beginning of S2 E7, so he went to confront Tyler after the Cameo. Only to end up finding Charlie and end up growing attached to him in his own messed up way.
in the frownin friends episode its mentioned that the peanut guy used toxic pesticide on his peanuts farms, and well, charlie´s grandma died from eating one as its mentioned on the shrimp episode 😭😭
the 5th Smiling Friends gonna be cameraman
The fifth Smiling Friend is us, the audience.
@@ianfinrir8724 that even better hahaha
James told Gwimbly to say "Tyler go to hell" because he was jealous of Charlie's real friendship w/ the Tyler that use to work at SF.
Bruh Charlie and Tyler are kind of close and James probably told Tyler to go to hell because he's jealous. Also, James might be totally psychotic, so much so that he wanted to spend his birthday with Charlie but he likes him so much that he reacted abnormally and started being a super asshole.
i was abt to comment , its so neat how it all lines up.. i wonder if james will ever come back in the show, i hope he does and something happens. feels so weird to have his character subtly explored overtime without him even being in the episodes if they were just never gonna use him again
I feel like Smiling Friends is slowly becoming the 2020s of Rick and Morty, and I'm happy of that.
I think Charlie’s grandma and the Landlord emphasize random words because Zach is doing the voice
maybe the 5th smiling friend is the friends we made along the way
3:17
This is just how what's his name does his animations, I'm pretty sure they're ain't no lore reason.
I dont think you're wrong about dr psychotic and his brother being part spamish, but I do think the reasoning provided at 3:16 are wrong. Dr Psychotics brother is played, and animated by Joel Haver. Joel does a bunch of comedy videos in the style of his character on smiling friends, and the animation is kind of jank. That jankiness made it's way through onto smiling friends. I'd recommend checking him out, he's made some darn funny videos.
So next question, what is the difference between live action humans like the president and animated humans?
And is Mr. Boss human? (I think he mightve used to be but has been changed)
This might be a stretch. But what if those are humans from our world who can interact with the smiling friends world? Remember in ep1 how that thing waves at the audience? Well mister frog interacts with the live action woman at the end of his debut episode. So perhaps it's possible to travel between worlds
@@joseph2000117 possibly
Amazing video, I loved the style of your content and how receptive you were with the comments of the last video
Thank you for this, just subscribed and I hope to see more of you!
There's also a character very similar to James in design in the first halloween episode
Think he hit the weights hard to impress Charlie? Charlie's been known to work out.
I just realized that Shrimpina's Jason who died in a motorcycle accident could also be Mr. Boss' son who was brought back to life with the red jewel thingy back then too!
0:39 PPL who watch AZFK: it's him!
It’s absurd yet consistent
What about the the peanuts?! In the shrimp episode Charlie said his grandma died from a peanut. Then in the frowning friends episode we see Mr.Peanut who says he put toxic pesticides in his peanuts. This could imply Charlie's grandma died from a toxic peanut. I don't know if Charlie grandmother we saw in the hell episode is supposed to be the same grandma.
Also, my damn peanuts went sour
With the right ✋️peanut jig 🤚 you can get away with anything!
I hate that you missed one of the greatest hidden lore…. TYLER!!!!
In the beginning of the Spamtopia episode we see the boss firing a fifth smiling Friends member called Tyler, who is a realistic man.
Also Charlie get’s mad when he gets fired, it’s worth noting that Charlie is the one who’s always trying to bring in a fifth smiling friends member as both he did in this episode and at the wedding.
But also…..
In the Gwimbly episode Gwimbly said “and also I should tell Tyler to go to Неll? I don’t know who Tyler is or what that means”
Well now we know who Tyler is and considering that James from Idaho could be the same James who ripped Charles nose, that either implies that both Tyler and James are good friends who are pranking each other’s or that James genuinely hates Tyler and wants to kill him.
Calling Linkara the 'main character' of ATFW killed me.
It would not surprise me if Zach put in a subtle reference to Linkara, the Great Linkara
“I am a man” 🤜
I'd like a video that tries to order the episodes
4:21
I always thought that was a reference to the Election episode. Because of the one joke where Blingostan attacks the village
I wonder if Smiling friends will ever get a video game someday
Missed opportunity to end the video yelling like Pim does
My theory is that when charlie was thrown back to earth it flattened
the critter war could have nothing to do with humans at all too. going by those numbers anyway.. but yah, u already confirmed there are sub species of critters. im sure they dealt with racism in their own society's as much as we do. the Critter War could be separate sects of critters warring amongst eachother, sans any humans.
just sayin..
