Fun fact: for the vacation episode they called the voice actor for the boss without him knowing beforehand. So his entire response is ad-libbed on the spot. All they told him was that they were going to call him at some point for a bit for the show, they didn't even tell him when they were going to call. That's why he sounds a bit different when he answers the phone, he was talking in his normal voice.
Fun fact, the dude who sang the song about Pim and "Shrimpina" is the same dude who sang the pokemkn theme song. Also, yes that was Gilbert Gottfried, and this was his last role before he unfortunately passed
The Brazil episode is earnestly great. Because at some point you go “oh is this what they’re doing” and it is what they’re doing. It is waaayyyy to immersive to me lmao
The best part is they foreshadowed the episode forever ago I think on oneyplays he said he wanted to make an episode of something where there’s no joke it’s just real and awkward and shit
I just love the idea of four abnormal cartoon characters going through a very real situation, especially after previous episodes had so much surrealism
basically the last ep was a special that aired way later, months after all the first 8 eps were done airing, and the whole point was that it was advertised as something special when in reality the whole ep was just them arguing in an airport
@@ButtaDawg6969 It came from an idea Zach (the co-creator) had years before of a bunch of kids tearing apart a monkey and eating it for dinner or something.
it's more accurate to say that MeatCanyon was inspired by THIS less the show exactly, and more the creators, youtube animation legends fr, been posting animations longer than some ppl watching this video have been alive tbh
Yeah the whole point of the Brazil episode was a bait and switch, it was promoted a lot as this BIG EXCITING SUMMER VACATION SPECIAL, it even has a fake sinopsis of what the sideplots where gonna be, but then you get hit with them having an awkwardly realistic argument at the airport.
Re: Helium When the episode was written, the helium crisis was very real, we only had 15-20 years left even if we cut out all birthday balloons Fortunately since then we found a lot more, and we've even developed ways of making new helium, so we're good now
I think you might have missed the few post-credits scenes. There was one that showed them actually going to China to bury the egg like they promised, and another where Charlie is shown to be HORRIFICALLY sick after drinking the green fluid Mip gave him.
"I don't think, uhh... (*gulp*) *ck*-I don't think it's cause o' the potion I drank... I think it's just cause o' allergies." (*breathes like his appendix is about to explode*) "That is _not_ allergies, Charlie" "Ummmmm, I think we need to call someone."
The episode where they eat the Blackface demon is a deep-cut reference from OneyPlays. They were playing Luigi's Mansion 3, and Zach made up this elaborate nonsense about a mom bringing home a monkey to a bunch of essentially hellspawn children which tear it to pieces and eat it. The episode was titled "Clone Gone AWOL" or something like that. The fact that they just bounce random insanity off of each other and then make it happen in Smiling Friends is absolutely hysterical and makes me appreciate both. Jeremy getting decked and then not being able to breathe while making weird snorting sounds is from another OneyPlays segment. I think that one was about freeing an alien from Area 51. "What would you do if he touched your face and kept saying DUH DUH DUH DUH DUH?!" Oh, and Grease Puddle? If the voice sounds familiar, it's because it's an impression of ChrisChan. They actually tried to get ChrisChan to voice the character for shiggles, but due to um... 'exigent circumstances' that couldn't happen.
technically it was because Chris Chan was both unaffiliated with staff and non-union, so cameo red tape was a trip. It just so happens they didn't even dodge a bullet, they accidentally parried a hydrogen bomb with the "mommy issues" happening that same year.
it's the other way around, meatcanyon took inspiration from the creators and staff on this show who are all old internet animators who were big on newgrounds and youtube way back in the day. psychicpebbles, michael cusack, oneyng, etc
I really love that after all the crazy and wacky things that happened the final episode is literally just a real world thing. Like that is something that actually happens Irl. I hope they do a season 2 this show is gold.
The guest cast for this series is seriously crazy. In the first episode you've got Tom Fulp (the creator of Newgrounds) Mike Stoklasa from Red letter Media, and Finn Wolfhard (Stranger Things.) David Firth, the creator of Saladfingers voiced Shrimp and Jason Paige, the guy that performed the original Pokemon theme song, did the love ballad for Pim. One of Gilbert Gottfried's last roles was him playing God on Smiling Friends. They even got James Rolf, the Angry Video Game Nerd. There's also a cameo from Chillz the "Number Fifteen" dude that used to do list videos but now produces some pretty decent music. The grease puddle was supposed to be voiced by Chris Chan before he got arrested. The whole list is a fever dream of ancient internet and deep cuts.
You missed the joke obituaries at the end of each episode, post-credits. Also, the guy with the funny head shape, who wanted to eradicate the Puerto Ricans, is voiced by their friend Lyle Rath... who is Puerto Rican. :D
For a bit of context, the Brazil episode was originally going to be released in April 1st for obvious reasons. The promo material for it presented it as an actual special episode in Brazil, so when it premiered it caught EVERYONE off guard. The episode itself is trying to poke fun at the gimmick a lot of shows repeat, about the main cast going on a trip to a different country. It's actually pretty genious. The way it's written as an actual conversation that could perfectly happen irl causes such an uncomfortable discrepancy with the show's art style. And btw this episode is just a special, the actual season 1 finale is the episode in which Charlie goes to hell.
I watched the beginning of the smiling friends marathon (which aired on adult swim when the clock struck midnight on new years) and stopped watching after a few seconds so I’m gonna watch this to see if I’ll like smiling friends 😂
Why does nobody talk about how Zach Hadel (Charlie) is very prominently featured on oneyplays youtube channel and just how funny he is on that channel.
If you enjoyed smiling friends I highly recommend Xavier renegade Angel. It has similar absurdist humor, and the whole show is on TH-cam. It’s really good
I gotta say that you should check out Psychicpebbles' stuff. He's an OG newgrounds animator and though I like MeatCanyon, I will say that Zach has a lot of that kind of surreal humor too. But yeah, MeatCanyon is unsurprisingly a fan of this show 😂
One of the creative decisions behind the show was colored creature things having normal everyday problems, something that the watcher might be able to empathize or laugh at
It's a testament to how bizarrely brilliant this show is that Im even commenting this but I always thought it was unreasonable to be that mad at pim in the Brazil episode since he had to book the tickets AND the hotel. Everyone in the comments of the Brazil episode just seem mostly mad at pim. Fault is shared amongst them all!
Fun Fact: The voice actor for Shrimp is David Firth, who you may recognize as having a certain character who really likes rusty spoons, nettles, and rusty kettles. He is, in fact, the creator and voice of Salad Fingers. Additional not-as-fun fact: Having been created in July of 2004, the Salad Fingers series will be 20 years old this year. Feeling old yet?
46:47 Bro it’s actually true, idk about the 20 years thing but we are incredibly limited on helium, to the point that I believe it’s actually rarer than gold.
It used to be a serious problem in the early 2000s and late 90s, but we've since advanced way further in detection as well as our mining techniques and capabilities and have found massive helium gas reservoirs under the earth we previously didn't know exist. Also, helium is just hydrogen with an extra molecular ring, so we can use hydrogen gas to artificially create more helium. It's not as energy efficient as just mining more, but as those technologies improve over the next few decades that's likely to become the cheapest and most efficient way to produce as much helium as we like. We have had a similar crisis with tin in the 60s, but new technological advancements has let us locate massive caches we couldn't know existed, and again refining methods to produce the material ourselves with ingredients that are way more abundant and accessible. We're not going to run out of either helium or tin anytime soon, even though their initial predictions of 20 years left were accurate it was only accurate based on the best information they had at the time. The future makes any impossible problem something we can solve with ease, as long as the best thinkers of humanity work together to do something about it
i dont know what that guy was talking about saying it aired weekly because they dont know what theyre talking about, i dont even know why they said anything. adult swim aired every episode back to back in a single night
I CANT SEE WITH THAT THING IN THE WAY I JUST WANTED TO WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACHHHHHHHHHHH
completely different tone, but when season 2 comes out of Moon girl and devil dinosaur you should def check out some songs from it! idk when yet but the animation style and songs go crazy and it has a Plot developing
We started Season 2! GO CHECK IT OUT!

Very funny Episode tho
I love his journey from “I think I like this show” to being fully invested in the Brazil episode.
The blackface bit is honestly picture perfect in delivery 😭😭 can't wait for season 2
Nah it was HILARIOUS 😂
I love how they just start eating the MF for no reason in the the most brutal way possible
I love how the whole episode is a buildup to that punchline 😂
@@ButtaDawg6969 It came from an idea Zach (the co-creator) had years before of a bunch of kids tearing apart a monkey and eating it for dinner or something.
@andrewodinson3726 the majority of the jokes can be traced back to SleepyCabin or Oneyplays episodes. It's makes it so much better as a superfan
"How do i look yellow man?"
"You look like you're gonna tell your best friend not to come to school tomorrow"
it's more accurate to say that MeatCanyon was inspired by THIS
less the show exactly, and more the creators, youtube animation legends fr, been posting animations longer than some ppl watching this video have been alive tbh
exactly. zach hadel has been doing the freakish character design YEARS before meatcanyon even came around
My first Oney and PsychPebbles animation on Newgrounds were in the same week back in the early 2000s
Fr this show is just the Hellbenders we never got
MeatCanyon is unoriginal.
All of his videos are completely interchangeable
almost like he has a style or something@@AgniFirePunch
Yeah the whole point of the Brazil episode was a bait and switch, it was promoted a lot as this BIG EXCITING SUMMER VACATION SPECIAL, it even has a fake sinopsis of what the sideplots where gonna be, but then you get hit with them having an awkwardly realistic argument at the airport.
I believe the whole Mip bit is refrencing how a crazy fan of Bjork tried to send her a bomb via fan mail
Re: Helium

I remember oneyplays brought this up in adventures of chris they were wondering if anything bad would happen if it's gone
This is great news for 3D Squelton!

Smiling Friends is such a specific fucking humor. But if it happens to be funny to you, it’s so damn funny.
The episode where they eat the Blackface demon is a deep-cut reference from OneyPlays.

"What would you do if he touched your face and kept saying DUH DUH DUH DUH DUH?!"
Oh,
and Grease Puddle?
If the voice sounds familiar, it's because it's an impression of ChrisChan.
They actually tried to get ChrisChan to voice the character for shiggles, but due to um... 'exigent circumstances'
that couldn't happen.
Grease was voiced by another veteran youtuber, Harry Partridge, who does some hilarious animations like Dr. Bees.
technically it was because Chris Chan was both unaffiliated with staff and non-union, so cameo red tape was a trip.
It just so happens they didn't even dodge a bullet, they accidentally parried a hydrogen bomb with the "mommy issues" happening that same year.
I love how the last episode is the oppisite of a season finale. This show is so self aware and i love it
it's the other way around, meatcanyon took inspiration from the creators and staff on this show who are all old internet animators who were big on newgrounds and youtube way back in the day. psychicpebbles, michael cusack, oneyng, etc

It’s definitely happening, they slated it for 2024 so we’ll see when it happens.
Good news
This show was created by a youtuber who is still successful and active to this day.
I haven't watched the vid yet but I wanted to say the actor for Pim (the purple one) is Michael Cusack, same actor as Mammon from Helluva Boss
the actor for pim isn't tom cardy
@@UncleChubbz Right, wrong actor, I was right about it being the same VA tho (Tom Cardy sings a song in Helluva Boss tho) I fixed my comment
two entirely different personalities; Pim is genuine about everything when Mammon is just in it for money and stuff
Ok
Also if you listen closely Zach Hadel (Charlie) voices several screaming background characters
That Mip character from the Enchanted Forest episode was based on the design of Bilbo Baggins from the 1977 animated film.
The guest cast for this series is seriously crazy. In the first episode you've got Tom Fulp (the creator of Newgrounds) Mike Stoklasa from Red letter Media, and Finn Wolfhard (Stranger Things.)

Afaik the helium thing is no longer a concern, but at one point there was a worry about it running out. Hank Green had a short on it
isn't it still a thing though? we're gonna run out of helium relatively soon
@@NewsofPE nah we've found a way to produce more so it's chill
@@mydrillasanjay5397 Yes but we already used so much. So unless we keep recycling it it will go away
16:40 Fun fact, the singer doing the cover of "So Its You" is Jason Paige. The original singer for the og Pokemon theme song.

The brazil episode is so fucking real, the writing comes off so natural, like how a couple friends would act because of misunderstanding

alright so basically the brazil ep was pretty much improvised so you can easily tell how realistic the dialogue was especially with the boss

Hope you enjoy cuz it's amazing
“How did this show air? Like, over a couple months?”
More like all in one night
Jason Paige sang "So it's You" when Pim is falling in love, he's the singer on the original pokemon opening!
Why does nobody talk about how Zach Hadel (Charlie) is very prominently featured on oneyplays youtube channel and just how funny he is on that channel.
It’s pretty well known that they’ve been long time friends.
yes smiling friends is hilarious glad you watched it
Yeah I’m ready for season 2 like NOW

fun fact: Zach and Michael doesn't care if you pirate smiling friends

You missed the "I was in the mines for 48 hours today" joke. Reported.
Agreed that Allan is great. He's kind of chaotic evil to Pim's lawful good and Charlie's true neutral vibes.
theres an "in memory of" screen at the end of every episode's credits, I recommend checking those out
“we love alan” we all say in unison
