I always found it hilarious how he says that like he's being filmed and spreading awareness, when there's one other guy there , lol. And he does the catchphrase which he doesn't even like, AND it's his victory sound.
It's no wonder everyone's obsessed with Gwimbly. A PS1 era game character who hasn't had a game in over a decade from a company that refuses to do anything with it? We've all had a favorite game like that at some point.
Here's $5 to see Gwimbly's iconic victory dance. I love this guy, a late 90's platformer mascot who's company hasn't done anything with them for ages is something a lot of people can relate to. And the way Zach and Micheal portray the matter with Gwimbly is genius. I love how we all agree He's always been here, and the greatest video game character ever.
I know what you mean but I'd imagine it takes a long time to create each episode and to have each one be so well executed. I'd rather it take a long time to release and have thought and care put into it like it is than have it pumped out rapidly and be really bad and generic, becoming the very thing it makes fun of or becoming another lazy family guy rip off.
Funnily enough, I only got into Smiling Friends like a week ago. Binged it all in a single day and thought "man, I really hope this show gets continued!"
Gwimbly looks so perfectly PS1 it's astounding, and I also love the names "Gwimbly" and "Troglor", they somehow perfectly capture the vibe of "fictional video game inside a different piece of media"
well he's almost in between PS1 and N64 which is what I love about it. Like his "younger" version definitely resembles the N64 slightly more but when you see him in the episode he is VERY PS1.
I love how they crammed every game related buzzword in the title. I also love how Holoopee, a well known online 3D animator, made the models for Gwimbly and the other 3D characters in the episode. Very glad too see they're still having people from the Internet work on the show.
Nah bro that opinion is so dumb, he wouldn’t do that ever, people are just jealous of his success and are trying to cancel him for a unavoidable incident he had nothing to do with, you make me SICK >:(
I am so tired of people trying to blame Gwimbly for that. A homeless man came in with a gun and started shooting at random, what was gwimbly supposed to do? This victim blaming is horrible
This reply section is everything I want it be omg. Y’all discussing a fake controversy with absolutely sincerity is internet humor on a whole other level.
Since they're actors it makes sense, it's sort of like Danny Devito and Arnold Schwarzenegger joking about being beaten by Michael Keaton at the Oscars. I also liked how Troglor wasn't evil and was just staying in-character
The puppet episodes they released on April fools were a real treat and shows how much this community loves those guys I can’t imagine how long those few episodes took to record
I can’t believe Smiling friends got Gwimbly to take part in it! It was my favourite game in my childhood and I cried when I saw him do this iconic victory dance
I'm glad smiling friends is back, I wish people had waited for there to be more than one episode before flooding my recommendations with "smiling friends but only when they "
You really should have shouted out Hoolopee’s channel who modeled and animated the character. Since he has produced a bunch of memes using PS1 characters.
Michael and Zach deserve every ounce of succes theyre getting with Smiling Friends. It feels like this show single handedly is raising the bar for "adult" animated shows for the years to come. Also seeing Gwimbly again was a total throwback, i remember unlocking him in Crash Bandicoot 3 and beating all the time trails with ease.
It's no wonder everyone's obsessed with Gwimbly. A PS1 era game character who hasn't had a game in over a decade from a company that refuses to do anything with it? We've all had a favorite game like that at some point.
I remember owning the DS remake of Gwimbly which included bonus features from the Dreamcast version sadly I misplaced it. Even there were rumors about a 3DS remake that would include original levels however it was cancelled because it was at the time Nintendo was no longer releasing 3DS games.
Oh yeah! I remember playing a community made level in LBP3 based on gimbly! There was a platforming section where you jumped from rooftop to rooftop, a puzzle section where you hade to make a song by hitting garbage cans, and even a shooter-based boss fight where you shot trash at the renevators that wanted to turn the suburb into a residential district.
The budget got a boost and they deserve working with more money, hope people keep watching and allow more people from the internet to come on I can’t wait to see Joel harver on season 2
What I like about Gwimbly is that he's the first client of Smiling Friends to be weird but still genuinely likeable and relatable. The likes of Mr. Frog, Shrimp, Desmond were mostly strange or creepy for comedic purpose while Gwimbly really felt like a real character.
In an alternate universe, Gwimbly was one of the most successful video game characters of all time, and appeared in numerous games such as Gwimbly Kart, Gwimbly Party and even a guest appearance in Super Smash Bros.
Isn't he meant to be a Banjo-Kazooie parody though? So not PS1 but N64? - The joke about his partner being dead = Kazooie - Collecting cream corn = Collecting jigglies - The boss sitting on the IP and not doing anything with them = Microsoft - The new shooter guy = Halo - The music is reminiscent of Rare's music
was literally watching this casually, thinking that gwimbly was like gaming icons that don't get enough love from devs, like banjo kazooie and rayman, THEN RAYMAN POPS UP
The entire time he is a 3D character amongst 2D environments. Implying that video game look likes that because they specifically hired actors who look like that.
If you think about it, Gwimbly did already exist, at least in spirit. How many beloved IPs or characters from your childhood have just been shelved just for fuck-all reasons by their owners? Every time Skyrim or Starfox 64 gets ported to a new console, that's Gwimbly. Every scrapped film about a legacy character, like Coyote Vs Acme, that's Gwimbly. Banjo Kazooie, Krystal, Bubsy, Gex, the Brave Little Toaster they're all Gwimbly. They're double Gwimbly for every fan project that's been started for a dead IP that then received a cease-and-desist letter from the IP holder. And you know, when a company pushes upon us at a young age these characters and cartoons and these experiences to the point we absorb them and they become part of our personal cultural heritage, then for these companies to just scrap them or sit on them and do nothing with them, feels wrong on some level. Like, yeah, it's legal for them to do so, but it feels morally wrong. Like when the British Museum goes to some ancient tribe and steals their prominent religious artifact, yeah, they may have paid off a local government official to make it "legal" but legal does not equal right.
I love how everyone collectively agreed that Gwimbly already existed
Because he has.
Yes indeed.
I realized this blew up when ADULT SWIM posted fan art of him
I still remember getting 83 cans of Creamed Corn in Gwimbly 3: Gwimblys revenge because I couldn't afford better consoles but either way it was fun
Graggle Simpson all over again, people just forgot these guys existed even though they’re so iconic
“America has a fucking fentanyl crisis”- Gwimbly 2024
I always found it hilarious how he says that like he's being filmed and spreading awareness, when there's one other guy there , lol.
And he does the catchphrase which he doesn't even like, AND it's his victory sound.
I thought he said "fat nut" crisis
'Ooohh, ooooh, oooo-hoo-hooooo. . .'
Because of our border crisis
Gwimbly is speaking facts
It's no wonder everyone's obsessed with Gwimbly. A PS1 era game character who hasn't had a game in over a decade from a company that refuses to do anything with it? We've all had a favorite game like that at some point.
Conkors bad fur day 😢

Agreed. And it's a really promising sign of what's to come for the rest of season 2.
Gwimbly will always be my favorite video game character, period.
With your donation he will do his iconic victory dance
Oo, oo, oo!
Oo oo oo!
Shoutout to Hoolopee for the amazing guest animations for our favourite ps1 guy. His TH-cam channel has some great stuff.
Nice stuff!
that guys a big inspo for me
"Is that an gator? Surely not."
"AAAAAAAOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHH"
I think that smiling crew creators did appear in two pipes
I recognized his work immediately upon seeing Gwimbly
I'm so damn glad we're finally getting season 2 of Smiling Friends.
The two year hiatus was absolutely DREADFUL.
I know what you mean but I'd imagine it takes a long time to create each episode and to have each one be so well executed. I'd rather it take a long time to release and have thought and care put into it like it is than have it pumped out rapidly and be really bad and generic, becoming the very thing it makes fun of or becoming another lazy family guy rip off.
Being patient can only mean that you will be rewarded in the end
This made me want to collect ps1 games
Funnily enough, I only got into Smiling Friends like a week ago. Binged it all in a single day and thought "man, I really hope this show gets continued!"
Wait 2 years?!?! I didn't even realize it had been that long
Gwimbly looks so perfectly PS1 it's astounding, and I also love the names "Gwimbly" and "Troglor", they somehow perfectly capture the vibe of "fictional video game inside a different piece of media"
@GlobnarTheGreenanother character in the new episode that's made to make fun of the overly designed, micro-transaction filled modern shooters
@GlobnarTheGreenTroglor was a man

Very glad too see they're still having people from the Internet work on the show.
The creators are from the internet, it would suck(the show)
That titles is basically every TH-cam title of an uploaded game clip.
Or an illegally uploaded movie clip.
Holoopee didn't just make the models, he motion captured them
I can't believe people are now ignoring the disaster that was TruffleCon and its victims. Gwimbly willingly let that happen.
We don't forget.
Nah bro that opinion is so dumb, he wouldn’t do that ever, people are just jealous of his success and are trying to cancel him for a unavoidable incident he had nothing to do with, you make me SICK >:(
That wasnt even his fault. True Gwimbly fans that were actually there know the true story of how things went down. I think LeMMiNO made a video on it
I am so tired of people trying to blame Gwimbly for that. A homeless man came in with a gun and started shooting at random, what was gwimbly supposed to do? This victim blaming is horrible
What are you, stupid? Gwimbly would NEVER go to TruffleCon, he was over at Creamed Corn Con that day. Any REAL Gwimbly fan would know that.
This reply section is everything I want it be omg. Y’all discussing a fake controversy with absolutely sincerity is internet humor on a whole other level.
Oooo Oooo Oooo
Oooo Oooo Oooo
Oooo Oooo Oooo
Oooo Oooo Oooo
Ooo Ooo Ooo
Nah it’s more like Oo Oo Oooo
"America has a fucking fentanyl crisis"
-Gwimbly's best voice lines
I like how they subvert your expectations by not having his nemesis angry about Gwimbly mentioning how he kicked his ass.
I mean he did seem pretty over it
Since they're actors it makes sense, it's sort of like Danny Devito and Arnold Schwarzenegger joking about being beaten by Michael Keaton at the Oscars. I also liked how Troglor wasn't evil and was just staying in-character
The puppet episodes they released on April fools were a real treat and shows how much this community loves those guys I can’t imagine how long those few episodes took to record
James was the cameo that Gwimbly was doing in the beginning of the episode. The same James that proceeded to rip Charlie’s nose off.
No freaking way no u cannot be serious
Wait does that mean Smiling Friends takes place in Idaho?
gwimbly accidentally doxed them with that cameo
Gwimbly is always existed ever since the beginning of the universe but he's just a forgotten character. I'm glad he's back now
LIMC trying to hide his aussie pride while talking about this show
Is he aussie or he from uk
@@billdavies7243he's australian
Truly a Oooo Oooo Oooo moment of all time
I can’t believe Smiling friends got Gwimbly to take part in it! It was my favourite game in my childhood and I cried when I saw him do this iconic victory dance
I'm glad smiling friends is back, I wish people had waited for there to be more than one episode before flooding my recommendations with "smiling friends but only when they "
"but muh easy views"
or "smiling friends but only (insert character)"
It was irritating to me before I get the chance to watch the episode first
It's crazy that Smiling Friends got the rights to Gwimbly to feature him on the show.
I like how the same guy that animated Gwimbly is also the same guy to animate RTX Morshu
I cant believe Oneyplays gaslit the gamer cultural zeitgeist with Gwimbly. This is Herculad all over again.
I really like his design as a low poly ps1 character from the 90s ❤
You really should have shouted out Hoolopee’s channel who modeled and animated the character.
Since he has produced a bunch of memes using PS1 characters.
Agree
The person who animated and made the iconic legend also made that Dracula Flow in Crash Bandicoot
Gwimbly is not incredible, he's iconic
Counting down until some indie dev makes an actual full length Gwimbly platformer
I enjoyed how one of my favorite animation TH-camrs, Hoolopee, was able to work on gwimbly in this episode of smiling friends.
No way! "unhappy enemy" is back!
Remember that there is still a chance for Mr. Boss to appear in the multiversus
Omg...you're right! He's now my most requested character now! Alongside Gwimbly, of course.
0:19 Oh wow, that's word-for-word the sypnosis I wrote about this episode on the Smiling Friends wikia 😲
Gwimbly is literally banjo kazooie
I mean Gwimbly is incredible we all love him but what's even more incredible is smiling friends and how they write the show, it feels so natural.
“Oooo Oooo Oooo”
-Gwrimbly
Someone needs to start a petition to add Gwimbly to Multiversus, the only way and reason people would actually play that game, it’s genius
I really hope Gwimbly's newfound publicity means a new game!!
Gwimbly. Bro. You've _got_ to get that rectal prolapse taken care of, man.
I loved his games as a kid, it was so cool seeing him feature in my favorite show!
1:57 They added reflection on the floor !!
Michael and Zach deserve every ounce of succes theyre getting with Smiling Friends. It feels like this show single handedly is raising the bar for "adult" animated shows for the years to come.
Also seeing Gwimbly again was a total throwback, i remember unlocking him in Crash Bandicoot 3 and beating all the time trails with ease.
Ooh-Ooh-Ooooh
Edit: for the next vid, review the Mr boss going insane scene at the end of the episode pls
It's no wonder everyone's obsessed with Gwimbly. A PS1 era game character who hasn't had a game in over a decade from a company that refuses to do anything with it? We've all had a favorite game like that at some point.
Gwimbly looks like what you'd get if you smashed a banjo kazooie character with the art style from Odd World.
The best thing about him is the unconcealed hatred and violence he wants to inflict towards the CEO.
I'm just glad we got to see the victory dance twice. For free!
I remember owning the DS remake of Gwimbly which included bonus features from the Dreamcast version sadly I misplaced it. Even there were rumors about a 3DS remake that would include original levels however it was cancelled because it was at the time Nintendo was no longer releasing 3DS games.
“It’s my IP to sit on and do nothing with” is the best line of the episode and best summarizes the modern video gaming industry
Oh yeah! I remember playing a community made level in LBP3 based on gimbly! There was a platforming section where you jumped from rooftop to rooftop, a puzzle section where you hade to make a song by hitting garbage cans, and even a shooter-based boss fight where you shot trash at the renevators that wanted to turn the suburb into a residential district.
so gwimbly is NIMBY?
Keep in mind, Spyro’s a Soldier of Fortune
A sick dev actually put a suicide cutscene in the game as a easter egg....
Gwimbly taught me that each totem on the pole is a symbolic representation of one family.
Gwimbly has become the new graggle.
OH MY GOD MY GWIMBLY EDIT MADE IR IN THE VIDEO KAGSKSHEJE THANK YOU!!
The budget got a boost and they deserve working with more money, hope people keep watching and allow more people from the internet to come on
I can’t wait to see Joel harver on season 2
What I like about Gwimbly is that he's the first client of Smiling Friends to be weird but still genuinely likeable and relatable. The likes of Mr. Frog, Shrimp, Desmond were mostly strange or creepy for comedic purpose while Gwimbly really felt like a real character.
I love the calm, soothing voice over the visual of Gwimbly getting violently sprayed with dirty brown water
Everyone forgets that Gwimbly appeared in the end credits of Goncharov. Maybe one of his earliest appearances outside his main line of games!
The idea of Gwimbly in Wreck-it-Ralph is absolutely perfect!
Gwimbly‘s 8 and a half inch prolapse has been a true inspiration.
In an alternate universe, Gwimbly was one of the most successful video game characters of all time, and appeared in numerous games such as Gwimbly Kart, Gwimbly Party and even a guest appearance in Super Smash Bros.
They even had a Grant Kirkhope-esque music playing in the publisher HQ, the team pulled all the stops
Can’t believe we went an entire LIMC about Gwimbly without him imitating the “ooo ooo oOOooo”
Gwimbly says what we’re all afraid to say
I never seen smiling friends but I’ve always wanted to. This PS1 looking character makes me want to watch this show even more
gwimbly's highly clashing artsyle makes him into a visual blackhole in every frame of the episode
Isn't he meant to be a Banjo-Kazooie parody though? So not PS1 but
N64?
- The joke about his partner being dead = Kazooie
- Collecting cream corn = Collecting jigglies
- The boss sitting on the IP and not doing anything with them = Microsoft
- The new shooter guy = Halo
- The music is reminiscent of Rare's music
Ive been watching PsychicPebbles/Zach's work since early highschool and im beyond happy seeing how far he's gone
Gwimbly, my beloved.
“Collecting corn?”
Kinda cringe, he collects “Creamed” corn buddy
Okay Mr. Joke explainer 9000 can you short circuit and combust into scrap already
Gwimbly becoming socially admired as a real life game character always have been here reminds me so much of the old graggle simpson mandela affect
"Hey Tomar, what would you do if a little low poly ps1 creature came up to you and went 'ooh ooh ooh'"
I want an official Gwimbly game to pop up some day.
Can’t wait for more memes analysis from this channel!!!
Hoolopee deserves recognition for his work on this character.
was literally watching this casually, thinking that gwimbly was like gaming icons that don't get enough love from devs, like banjo kazooie and rayman, THEN RAYMAN POPS UP
I always wondered why ppl were referencing a game that doesn't exist as if it did for a long time.
Basically an inside joke, and I'm on the outside
I like that only oneyplays viewers will notice the giant red prolapse being that exactly (its so low poly you cant tell)
Mascot platformers were an oversaturated genre back then. For every Banjo-Kazooie, there were 5 Bubsy 3Ds.
Already 1 episode into season 2 and Smiling Friends is already rocking the internet, that’s just awesome 😂
hopefully they release season 2 weekly because id love if every episode got a week for the internet to obsess over it
my favorite thing is that they tried to see how low poly they could get away with giving a character a prolapse
In the 90's Gwimbly's design would have been for a "seedy" side character, not a protag.
Watching Zach finally getting a show and be successful enough to make memes feels like a fever dream.
Man playing gwimbly unleased as a kid was so amazing collecting at least 100 cans of cream corn
there are many other animators involved and the beauty is that these are usually independent youtube animators,
"I can't believe Zach and Mike referenced RAREware PS1 shit lawl"
*Danderson Fuckers:* 👀 👀 👀 👀 ("Monster of God" plays)
The entire time he is a 3D character amongst 2D environments. Implying that video game look likes that because they specifically hired actors who look like that.
Gwimbly strongly reminded me of old crash bandicoot or Jax games and it’s it hit my nostalgia hard.
I can’t believe a fan animation I made was included in a Lesson of meme culture video 🥹Truly a life achievement
I love Gwimbly’s iconic “Oooo oooo oooo~!”
The fact that the Cameo is a reference to a real video that Zack and tomar recorded for a fan is so funny
He’s like the video game Graggle Simpson
Seeing Zach and Oney content in the mainstream always makes me happy

MFW i haven't seen this and read the title as "Gwimbly is invincible" so i was expecting some South Park Kenny type shenanigans lel
You know it would be interesting to see an actual indie game series based on gwimbly. I bet people would instantly buy the game 😂😂.
Every characters in Smiling Friends are amazing and unforgottenable.
as long as Zach and Mike dont make season 3 about Mr.Boss's Divorce I don't see them falling off ngl
The sad part is that they are welcoming of A.I replacing them. Makes me wonder how much A.I have they used to make smilling friends
1:10 is that Dwarf Fortress?
