@@THE_SOSC unless they end up in the very specific context where that line makes sense, I don't think they'll use it. From what I can tell this show doesn't do pointless references, they're either an excuse for a joke or cool visuals. I would love a Filmcow feature though
@@pepesilvia429 a good spot would've been in the mythical episode with pim saying "Charlie let's go to candy mountain" and response to anyone who's with him they'd just go "first my name isn't Charlie and no"
2:51 I like how at this point they start to bring back Alan’s over pronunciation of words again. It’s like he’s slowly going back to the way he was in the pilot.
0:58 Charlie has a point. He lives in a world full of odd little characters and it’s plausible for zombies (or any other Halloween critter) to exist in it. If they do, they’re probably considered a minority group and would take offense to someone dressing up as them. It makes the black face joke even funnier honestly considering racism still exists in their world, where humans and literal pink Australian blob creatures coexist.
Interesting how Alan was one of the main characters in the pilot but then he's barely in the rest of The season. Hopefully he gets more to do in season 2.
I hope we see them more too. It’d be funny if in the first episode of season 2 they did a fake-out like they were going to have Pim and Charlie switch roles with Alan and Glep as the main characters. Just in general, more episodes with them involved would be tight though. I also understand why they didn’t have as much screen time over 8 episodes. The writers have to balance out an A story with a B and C story in almost every episode, wrapping it all up in 11 minutes (notable exceptions being episodes 4&8 which focus on Pim and Charlie respectively.) That stuff is *hard* but they gave us gold AND from everything I’ve seen, they respect their audience so I’m excited for the future of these characters and the show.
I think it’s so cute and touching that Alan was comforting and patting Glep on the head cause he was sad (5:40) -I hope next season we see an episode or two on Alan and Glep as a duo or adventure
They easily could’ve made him the stuck up, stuffy jerk thinks he’s better than everyone else (I could very easily see his sort of anal retentive traits in the pilot leaning into that) but he’s just an all-around good guy, if a little odd and particular about certain things.
Is Alan the office assistant or something? Was trying to figure out what exactly he does. Seems like he's usually cleaning or organizing stuff in most scenes.
From what I can tell Pim and Charlie are the ones that go out and make people smile and Alan and Glep handle all the paperwork and stuff. Also it looks like Alan does inventory judging by how he's seen looking at stuff with a clipboard
@@amazingspiderlad we don’t really know because we would never get an episode of pin and Charlie doing paper work etc because that would suck even though if screen they could easily be doing stuff like that
@@shnpio well I mean it makes sense, they take Desmond back to the office to sign a form, so I'd say it's fair to assume Alan handles that among other things
Alan might be my favorite Smiling Friends character. I really like Charlie and Pim as well, and it's kind of hard to genuinely hold Alan over them when they've hogged 90% of the show's screen time, but but there's something about an OCD character being portrayed as casually calm and collected that comes off as particularly endearing. I can't recall any anal-retentive characters within a sitcom or cartoon that aren't either apologetic, stuffy, passive aggressive, or control freaks, but Alan doesn't seem to follow these archetypes. He's clearly obsessive and neurotic, but also tolerant, polite, and even friendly. It's a refreshing take.
He’s a very nice Autistic sausage and we love him for it. But you’re 100% right. It’s nice to see a take on, if unintentionally, mental illness that isn’t stereotypical in mainstream media. It helps people see us as complex people rather than just a disorder. We’re people like everyone else who HAPPEN to have a disorder. Even just a little progress feels good. As someone with both an anxiety disorder and ASD, I can relate to Alan a lot, and that’s a good thing.
One of the reasons I love this show is because the friend dynamics remind me of my circle in high school. I'm Charlie, my closest friend is basically Pim, another friend is very much like Alan. Not sure about Glep though
I saw this somewhere else but the reason I find Alan so funny is because he’s always this neurotic wacky character when nothings happening but when confronted with anything he becomes the most normal, reasonable guy on the show
I totally agree that his complete shift in demeanor when he gets irritated is hilarious, but I wish his eccentricities from the pilot carried over into the rest of season one; they were what drew me to the character in the first place.
@@PissWarlock i agree the wall guy is one of the best bits on the show. Alan was literally tweaking ab a paper clip not 2 minutes before and then I suddenly see myself in his shoes when he’s confronted with Finn Wolfhard living in the office walls.
@@PissWarlock exactly and he’s just so over dealing with someone that’s completely unreasonable and rude when they’re obviously in the wrong. As a service worker, who deals with people like this on a daily basis, I completely understand the attitude he has.
I like that basically, Pim has somewhat lacking eyesight. He admitted he would get his eyes checked in the Shrimp episode, and he thought the bowl of worms was peanuts. XD
It’s so funny how all these crazy creatures and borderline insane people just have these actually pretty normal reactions. The conversation they have at the beginning of the Halloween one and Pim shooting the fake gun felt like a very real interaction.
I appreciate that Alan didn't turn out to be that character everybody in the office hates cuz he takes his job seriously or is a bit anal retentive. Even the pilot quickly put that to bed showing Charlie and Alan act playfully with each other and he displays gestures of friendship with everybody.
This is probably a really unpopular opinion, but I wish they kept Alan as weird as he was in episode 1. Feels like he’s only ever being a straight man. In episode 1 he was a weirdo and straight man at times.
@@fer_nanda4509 basically Alan never does anything weird in any of the other episodes. He’s just a regular guy. At least here he was goofy and liked cheese
I feel like as opposed to Pim’s very energetic approach to the job, Allan hypothetical would be a lot more relaxed and focused on listening and offering advice than trying to distract from the negative feelings or look for an immediate, easy solution. He’s more someone who’s there if you need to talk and vent.

I feel they had less alan in order to not rely on that character being well liked as a crutch as well as to develop pim more, but i feel they also highlighted him as a straight man because people responded well to the wall scene. However whats great about that character is versatility. If he’s just weird all the time for the sake of it or normal all the time for the sake of it both extremes wouldnt make the character as amusing
