I guess he's just the janitor. The one time we see him working he's literally the only one mopping the floors, and to be fair the office is pretty clean so makes sense he wouldn't be doing much.
there is a shot of him looking at stocks on his phone and some people believe he handles all the funds and logistics and whatnot of the company and i like that idea
He's likely a general associate. His job is usually whatever he's assigned to that day, and if he's done with that job, he often waits until the next assignment. Him chilling out most of the time is prolly just us catching him during break.
The Adult Swim short "Smiling Friends Employee Training Software Walkthrough" has multiple shots that imply Glep works in advertising or some similar role for the company.
It feels weird that Glep is the only canonically married main character according to the DVD commentary, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't happy for him
2:54 lmfao this was the moment Charlie was talking about when they were having a conversation about why they don't hang out anymore. The nose suck! LMAO
Before you got into the breakdown, you said “there’s one thing I need you to do” and I mockingly said “like and subscribe” and then you hit me with the “enjoy the video” and for that I liked and subscribed
Tbh had that question after the mr frog episode. Same with Allen but he does some occasional work and s2 showed him joining Pim. But he doesn’t care about the client
@@Salza02 Alan seems like he mostly just keeps the office tidy (hence him setting mousetraps, cleaning the dishes, washing the floors, etc.) The only time Glep is ever seen working afaik is when he's cleaning the blood of the bliblies that Desmond killed.
i hope they have a glep centric episode where they show him doing some crazy shit out of the office that gets him gassed by the time he comes back, so that’s why he’s always lazing around. it would be funny as hell for him to come back after vanquishing smeglor of zigblorf and just sleep while no one else gives a shit about his crazy adventure.
Yep. And his wife is Nancy and her iconic red jackets. Surprised that Zach didn’t use his beloved Reagan impersonation for old Glep at the end of the Christmas episode.
Zach personally told me that glep is the muscle. Zach broke into my house at night and came into my room. He whispered into my ear as I was paralysed with fear in my bed “don’t fuck with glep dude, he will mess you the frick up bro!”
Tbh I always just figured Alan and glep were their own team and that we just don’t see it and that Alan’s extra things he does is just because he has ocd
I personally love the joke theories that Glem is either: A) Manager, for obvious reasons B) he's been hired for employees moral or make the public more likely to go to Smiling Friends.
@julekambrozik4303 I can absolutely see Charlie hearing a new employee is getting hired and just assume whoever showed up is the new hire. Even if the name/photo on file wasn't Glep accept it.
@@ghhn4505 Erm, actually most janitors do have green skin. Kinda terminally online of you to suggest I’m racist for a blatant fact *nudges glasses up face*
I think he is an administrative manager, and while he is not on screen he probably do stuff like excel spreadsheets, writing reports and managing the payments of the team.
I love Glep so much. He’s just a little guy. There’s one clip in the Brazil episode where the smiling friends were having a back and forth and everybody just looked over and listened carefully to his important knowledge. (It’s actually right here 10:57)
My headcanon is that Glep used to be part of the Enchanted Forest because he kinda resembles those little dudes wearing wizard hats scurrying in the background and foreground. I also like to imagine that he just got bored of all the magic crap and ditched it. Then one day, Mr. Boss found him and offered him a job, and he's been working at Smiling Friends HQ ever since.
love the video! Heres a fun fact, one of the only smiling friends members cut from the show was actually a janitor! He was blue to round out the colors of the others, I think Michael and Zach said he might show up later in the show? But at the moment we don't know for sure
Personally I think hes their social media person, in the christmas special he's all old and can speak perfect english, but he's currently really small. That means he's likely the youngest of the smiling friends crew imo.
My favorite part of the video on a specific character is the part where he talks about the character instead of just summarizing the entire series episode by episode
I feel like Glep is just there to either help of not help the plot like in the episode about the President where he voted for Mr. Frog instead of the guy Pim and Charlie were helping
As the resident office wizard, Glep has the extremely important job of guarding and maintaining the Tomar Emeralds that keep the negative vibes away from the office.
I would deadass not be surprised if Glep ends up pulling a Thomas thing from regular show. It’s something the smiling friends directors would 100% do for an episode.
people seem to think glep is the social media manager as he is often found with technology and doesnt mind being seen as a public figure (last part is from when he replaces mr frog as he seems to enjoy being well known)
I think charlie and pim go on the main smiling friend missions,alan is a janitor and a organizer and makes sure everything is generally in check,and glep is the social media person who advertises the company and such,and mr boss is the main guy behind everything,smormu would probably be charlie and pims supervisor but he just doesnt show up so he doesnt rlly count.
I think an office manager would be a better title for Alan, he does seem to do a lot more than just a manager would though. I'd take that to it being a small business
4:04 - To be clear, that's the producer, not the director. It's an important distinction, because he's much more hateable, and it's much more acceptable that Mr. Frog chewed him up.
Honestly he might just live there. The fact that he immediately jumps at the chance of getting a job as Mr. Frog might imply that he's not even an employee.
Gleb is like ice bear he is there to seem like he is nothing and slowly reveal crazy complex backstory we only get pieces of that suggest he is a force to be reckoned with
I don’t think we’re quite ready to find out what Glep really does. His concerns are far beyond our feeble minds. It’s best we save this mystery for our children to uncover.
Been watching Oneyplays for years and the humor, design and inside jokes being implemented to the show make it so much funnier. Glad to see them excelling!
I just had this thought. What if smiling friends works like a call center sort of. The first calls are handled by Pim and Charlie and if a third call comes in it goes to Alan or Glep. I’d say most likely Glep because Alan seems like the manager. Maybe he just does his best work alone.
Glep simply existing makes me smile
I'd say he's doing his job well.
10 likes and 0 comments let me fix that
I'd say that as well.
im going to touch you
This guy knows what’s up
.
Glep is the IT guy he takes care of the technical stuff he's the only one small enough to get under Mr boss's desk since his head is too big
Thanks, weirdly enough not that many people agree
He’s the eye candy. The sex appeal
I mean I wouldn't be suprised if Glep is a Tumblr Sexyman
💯😩
Real

hes the black widow of the team
I guess he's just the janitor. The one time we see him working he's literally the only one mopping the floors, and to be fair the office is pretty clean so makes sense he wouldn't be doing much.
glep exists simply to be swagger and badass
“He’s got that raw, bad boy energy the old Mr. Frog had”
Yes
Simply it is

glep... well hes glep. we dont know how he got employed but hes glep and hes doing that job pretty well.
there is a shot of him looking at stocks on his phone and some people believe he handles all the funds and logistics and whatnot of the company and i like that idea
That makes sense considering in the Brazil episode Charlie says he was talking about finances with Glep lol
Glep is quite possibly the definition of "just a little guy"
and i love him
"A funny little creature"
I threw him at a wall once

Actually this is what id assume unless he has like a joke job.
In addition to that, Glep doesnt is a gardener during the episode where Mr Boss gets married?
@@songatoredenscio2416We all know how much Glep hates gardening.
Can’t believe you forgot the 5th and best Smiling Friend Smormu
U meant Tyler
U meant Jombo
I always assumed Glep was like a manager or office admin
Good answer
maybe social media manager?
That actually sounds hilarious
always imagined him as the office pet
I like to think either intern or nepo-baby
6:29 "What political spectrum does Glep fall under?" "Maybe we'll know in season 3"
I mean...he voted for Mr.frog if that says anything. XD!
Every friend group needs:
the ray of sunshine,
the realist,
the details guy,
and of course the bad boy.
Pim
Charlie
Alan
Glep
That real bad boy energy
Glep is my spirit animal. His joyous reaction and little happy dance when he lands the gig as the new "Mr. Frog" will never cease to bring me joy.
The Adult Swim short "Smiling Friends Employee Training Software Walkthrough" has multiple shots that imply Glep works in advertising or some similar role for the company.
Do you know where I can find this short?
@RatOfTheWoods it's on TH-cam bro. I can try to send a link to you if you want it.

@@doublepistolandawink oh shit, I haven't thought of Homestuck in a hot minute
Huh, I was gonna say accounting, but that works quite well
I like to think he is just so good at making people smile that he always has free time to do whatever he wants
He makes the smiling friends smile.
It’s funny to me that even Charlie doesn’t know what he does because I myself asked this exact question when first watching the show
I think it would be a fun thing to have a kid division where glep essentially helps kids smile cuz hes a little guy.
It feels weird that Glep is the only canonically married main character according to the DVD commentary, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't happy for him
So that girl in the Halloween episode is his wife not his girlfriend? Good for Glep!
@@thunblot78yes it’s marge simpson his wife
Yeah Marge Simpson is her official name
Name Marge Simpson reference the simpson
You forgot in the Christmas Special, where he finally learned English & has a grandkid.

Glep is the raw bad boy edge the show needs. They just need to tame it

Glep unironically turns into Ronald Reagan
a former actor turned politician.
I used to think that too...
*_until I took an arrow to the knee!!_* 🤣
Dragonborn: (*punches me*)
Yep. And his wife is Nancy and her iconic red jackets. Surprised that Zach didn’t use his beloved Reagan impersonation for old Glep at the end of the Christmas episode.
OH so that's another of those weird presidential trivia influences
does he get cut up while talking
Does Glep also start the crack epidemic?
0:53 imagine the rest of the video is just that it just freezes and there was no dialogue it was just clips
Glep is actually based on me. I don’t know how or where “smiling friends” got my personal information from but… there i am.
Ok. I couldn’t help but notice how this video just summarizes the season one episodes and then mentions glep whenever he appears
Zach personally told me that glep is the muscle. Zach broke into my house at night and came into my room. He whispered into my ear as I was paralysed with fear in my bed “don’t fuck with glep dude, he will mess you the frick up bro!”
Classic Zach
Believable
Sounds like something a tomar creature would do.
Zach is so iconic
Oooh zach hahha

A) Manager, for obvious reasons
B) he's been hired for employees moral or make the public more likely to go to Smiling Friends.

Also, my theory of Glep being from the enchanted forest
Glemp
Glep is there to make everyone else smile. Simply put, he’s the Smiling Friend to THE Smiling Friends.
To me Smiling Friends was like The Amazing World Of Gumball if it was made for Adult Swim.
It's like a bastardized mix of Regular Show and TAWOG and it's beautiful
I love Gumball but no it’s not even close
@@ShiningTaigaidk, I kinda see the similarities. Multiple art styles/ animation for different characters, absurdist sense of humor, etc.
the thing is that TAWoG originally *was* made for Adult Swim
@@FuryMcpureywas it?
the strange guy in the wall at 2:07 is actually voiced by finn wolfhard!
Fr??? I thought that was bs😅😊
My daughter loves him! She squealed whenever he did his little dance. Gonna have to find a Glep plush now.
Erm, he's the personification of Psychicpebbles humor, the ultimate "lil critter."
I love how god is drawn like Zack’s old depictions of human characters
6:18 was this foreshadowing that he is a politician or is that just a coincidence that they ended up making him one 😭
He could be in advertising. Or handles the books.
10:34 There's a picture of him in office as the president.
Omg I never noticed that! So Glep went beyond being a Senator, he became the goddamn president at one point
But did all of the events of the show actually happen?
glep 2024
@@pugmasterben well he voted for Mr. Frog!
@@mihaelpodnar7940 he was Frog's vice president
8:39 what in the meatcanyon
Glep is a janitor in my eyes. He’s got the iconic green janitor skin and purple janitor hat
I think he’s a janitor but the office in normally clean
@CrackedPropane that means he's doing a good job
Woah, erm, kind of freakin' racist to imply people with green skin are all janitors but, okay dude.....
@@ghhn4505 Erm, actually most janitors do have green skin. Kinda terminally online of you to suggest I’m racist for a blatant fact *nudges glasses up face*

The attention to background animation is what makes me love smiling friends. Most cartoons just have static ones
Glep is just a little guy. That all. I want an officially licensed plushie of him.
same his design is perfect for a plush and it would be size accurate 🥺
I was gonna say, "his job is to be highly marketable for merch"
NOOOOO DONT TURN GLEP INTO A MARKETABLE PLUSHIE

Glad im not the only one who heard that 💀💀
AH SKIBIDI BLABER🥶💯💯💯🗣️🗣️😈🔊🔊🔥🔥
i was never expecting to see a 13 minute long video about glep in my recommended.

he's like a thousand years old or something
wrong, the wikia page says hes the oldest. hes 1695
alan is the youngest.
I swear they made him a thousand years old in the show just to mess with us hahahahaha
he is literally hundreds of years old
He's responsible to ensure that the flibberling works perfactly
He's Tomar as a pupa. When he gets old his voice grows in.
Tomar. Tomar. Tomar. Tomar. Tomar.
You know, I didn't personally plan on liking and subscribing, but the whole "just enjoy the video" definitely got you one

I literally just finished season 1 today. The one where they go to Brazil is the best one. Shit is hilarious.
It's amazing that the show was able to make an episode where the characters literally do nothing and it was still enjoyable
@@hampterland I know dude. The whole time I was like, "This is rad if they never actually leave the airport."
6:29 Given the new Mr. Frog episode, this has aged well lmao
Glep is the perfect example of “show don’t tell”
Smiling friends really made it, it’s getting content slop now not just 3 hour video essays
The boss is the boss.
Charlie and Pim are the field agents
Alan manages the office.
Glep is Glep.
I like to imagine Glep is also manages the office like Alan but he never does any work so it's kinda just Alan who does everything
11:07 wait but isnt bro married
Desmond: "Who's Glep?"
Pim: "I don't know. He's Glep."

Imagine just being a little guy and then someone made a video essay because you're just a little guy
Bro really said "fuck this shit I'm out!" 💀 3:04
I think that Glep just hates Charlie or something. He chose to punch Charlie on his own, no one told him to.
Idk about hate, I think he's just not too fond of our favorite yellow critter. In S2E1 Charlie called Glep his best friend and Glep was like "Eh."
i think he punched him because charlie upsets pim in that scene
i completely blanked on the fact glep had a hat, every time I think of him its absent from is visage.
4:04 - To be clear, that's the producer, not the director.
It's an important distinction, because he's much more hateable, and it's much more acceptable that Mr. Frog chewed him up.
10:34 THERES MORE.
Look at the photo atop the fireplace he ended up becoming president at some point in his life
Honestly he might just live there. The fact that he immediately jumps at the chance of getting a job as Mr. Frog might imply that he's not even an employee.
You forgot about Smormu, the fifth smiling friend. We voted and they listened, it was an undoable decision
Gleb is like ice bear he is there to seem like he is nothing and slowly reveal crazy complex backstory we only get pieces of that suggest he is a force to be reckoned with
There's a fan theory that Glep's the social media manger for Smiling Friends, which is why he's always on his iPad (except when he's slacking)
i think so yeah i think he's a marketing guy of sorts
I believe in Gelp supremacy 🙏
6:27 we find out in season 2 episode 2
