I'm 90% sure that when they call Mr Boss in the Brazil episode, they actually called the voice actor in character without letting him know beforehand. His initial confusion and then struggling to think up a solution to the hotel issue is so realistic I don't think it was acting.
@@thevotemanfunniest part of the commentary is when they say they initially wanted him to be ordering something from a convenience store while talking on the phone but he didn’t want to do that
Like others have said, the Renaissance men conversation is actually based on an unscripted brainstorming session between the actual Zach Hadel and Michael Cusack because they didn't know how to end the frowning friends episode.
I can honestly imagine how that conversation went “Uh we need to end the episode, right uh what if some fuckin renaissance men show up and kill grim and gnarly” “Wha- Who- Why are there Renaissance men? Where’d they come from “I dunno man maybe they were in town or something and just shoot them with arrows and ride off on horses” “That doesn’t sound like renaissance, that’s not even like the right era” “Listen do you have any better ideas??”
I saw somebody say that Glep voted for him because he almost replaced him and thought it would be a great way to become famous by doing parodies of him
3:43 I love how Pim states that those aren’t even actual Renaissance Men. I’m not the most well versed person when it pertains to this but they looked more like Templars.
@@eddiemoran8044That’s not correct, the templars disbanded in the early 14th century and the Renaissance is 15th to 16th century. IIRC on the season 1 commentary they state it’s intentionally incorrect
@@Matmania69420 Mr. Boss didn't even intend for Filia/Brittney to die so he could own ¼th of hell, he legitimately found the daughter of Satan, who's probably just an acquaintance to him, to be marriage material. And Satan isn't even that miffed at the Boss after his daughter had died and they're arguing over zoning, he's just being his usual passive-aggressive self.
I'm 100% convinced that the show writers go to random bars, restaurants, and public areas, and hook people up with microphones and just tell them to go about their day like normal
The entirety of Smiling friends goes to Brazil feels like the cast went on vacation and someone brought a recorder making the whole episode off script.
one of the best scenes in season one imo is when pim’s sister’s boyfriend throws up and says so earnestly “i’m sorry i ruined it” about the dinner that was already going horrible
Most relatable shit is when Charlie hungover and says “I can’t keep doing this to myself brother, something gotta change.” Fuck I said those exact same words when I decided to quit drinking 😂😂
So Adult Swims show have a bit of a technique they employ to make these scenes and it's used by literally every Adult Swim show since it became a progamming block. This technique is called "Retroscripting". The short of it is that instead of writing out the dialogue, the script will just have sections where it says "Talk about whatever here" and the V.A's just talk about whatever. For some teams, it meant just recording the V.A's out on a lunch break or shooting the breeze inside the studio. It was initally utilized by Home Movies extensively to make its dialogue work and it's been picked up by nearly every Adult Swim show you can imagine. Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Space Ghost: Coast To Coast, Sealabs, The Venture Bros, Rick and Morty and most recently Smiling Friends. It's a time-honored writing trick at Adult Swim and if you look into the behind the scenes of these shows, you'll find every single one has utilized this technique to some extent (Rick and Morty's drinking sessions in the studio, The Venture Bro's team recording lunch time conversations of the V.A's). It sounds unscripted because it is intentionally unscripted improv in the middle of a script.
fun fact: the conversation on 3:30 is actually a conversation the writers had after days of not knowing how to end the episode, they just tweaked the conversation a bit and put it in the show
This reminds me of how Family Guy wants to have these moments of "relatable conversations", but all they do is just recite what's on the script, sometimes make it longer than it is. Whereas in "Smiling Friends", these moments feel natural and are quick moments that show how spontaneous some moments can be.
3:20 this is one of my favourite scenes from smiling friends. Mr boss speaking like a normal person after bending his finger in an inhuman way and dealing with the consequences is so random and so funny I love it so much
Funny thing is thay Pim was telling a story. The only reason that Charlie would ask that question, was probably because Pim explicitely told him he kissed his dad on the mouth.
I love how, although being the most chaotic beings to exist, they are extremely comprehensive and chill about a lot of what goes on and that makes it totally dynamic and awesome
this is why i love this show so much. its like they had a script ready, read the script, and it awkwardly cut off so they had to improvise the rest of the scene
Unscripted shit is the best, they should do an episode where they just have plot points they need to go through and have the actors improv all the stuff in between. Could be fun.
2:45 I literally never heard Michael’s voice in Alan until this clip right here, it sounds like he’s just talking to himself (which he but but yk what I mean)
I love how they talk over each other, it’s really realistic. Don’t get me wrong, I love every show I’ve watched but I always wondered how they never talked over each other cause it happens in real life ALL the time. I know we don’t come to tv shows FOR them to be realistic to a T(especially in anime/cartoons) but it’s a very nice touch when they are
My favorite part of the renaissance men bit is that in real time I said "They look more like medieval men" and then Pim said they don't look like renaissance men
Mr Boss looked so offended by Alan not liking his gift.
His mouth going agape is pretty hilarious
Proud of Alan for being honest with him. A bit blunt, but honest.
I mean Alan could’ve just kept it and then handed it to Charlie when Mr. Boss isn’t tgere
@@castbet9183 Mr.Boss would find out at some point though and it might hurt him more. Being honest isn't easy.
And charlie was genuinely happy to recieve it XD
Satan's passive-aggressive sarcasm to nobody in particular when the fast food joint forgets his straw is so real
I feel like we've all been there, like it's not enough to ruin the meal but it still pisses you off because you have to dirty a glass of your own.
And he is playing Rust too. As if he already isn't pissed off enough and restarting AGAIN for the third time in a wipe after being raided by some russian hackers.
@@msthecommentator2863Why would you have to use a glass? Just remove the lid and use the cup it’s already in.

Allan not pom
I think it’s cuz the boss might have heard “that’s gay” instead of okay
I think I've said that before but only to be reassuring.
@@unib4324no that’s pim

One realistic thing I really like about the animation is they don't always automatically close their mouth after talking, just like people do irl.
I didn’t even realize that but now that you mention it that’s an amazing attention to detail
Do you… keep your mouth open?..
@@TheParagonIsDeada lot of people do for a couple of seconds

Marc M's tone there just reminds me of his usual content tbh. But it would be really cool if true
90% sure is crazy that’s very unlikely but would be awesome if true
I think the behind the scenes story is that they told him to go outside for a walk and record his dialogue into his phone as a voice memo
@@Masiyooo this is true, it's in the season 1 commentary

It’s also why they sound so low-energy, bc they recorded both parts of the bit at like 3am lol
@zachflag6506 the low energy does make it funnier
"Who are the Renaissance men??? Because that's not Renaissance" gets me everytime
I love how Pim gets frustrated at the end, we hardly ever see him pissed
I can honestly imagine how that conversation went “Uh we need to end the episode, right uh what if some fuckin renaissance men show up and kill grim and gnarly” “Wha- Who- Why are there Renaissance men?

I have a small theory that the reason Glep voted for Mr. Frog, was because he saved him from the producer of the Mr. Frog show.
Good point
That is a good point
On the other hand, Glep could just like Mr. Frog’s policies on eating bugs.
Another one Mr frog would be the first green president
@@pugobits5088 True. I support the green president supremacy

3:43 I love how Pim states that those aren’t even actual Renaissance Men.
I’m not the most well versed person when it pertains to this but they looked more like Templars.
I love how angry he is about it too
The templars took place within the period of the renaissance. So calling them renaissance men is just being much more general
@@eddiemoran8044That’s not correct, the templars disbanded in the early 14th century and the Renaissance is 15th to 16th century.

Origins
Its my headcannon that Mr. Boss and Satan play rust together.
What makes this headcanon funnier to me is the fact Mr Boss married Satan's daughter lmfao
@@Matmania69420 Mr. Boss didn't even intend for Filia/Brittney to die so he could own ¼th of hell, he legitimately found the daughter of Satan, who's probably just an acquaintance to him, to be marriage material.

@@Matmania69420 And now they're arguing about the land. Families arguing about the stuff of dead loved ones. That's Hell for you!
2:43 the whole brazil episode is amazing
Yesss it’s so painful but so actually real
Its too real it just stressed me out watching it
Fr I was stressing the whole episode 😭
Personally not my cup of tea
@agarion101 its a good episode but people act like it's the greatest thing ever made and it's annoying.
zach loves to interrupt himself talking
What makes these moments better than Family Guy’s is that 1) They don’t sound nearly as forced, and 2) They don’t overstay their welcome.
If we compare the most similar examples like the Godfather and Renaissance Man bits it's night and day the contrast
I actually think it’s the opposite. Family Guy, especially in the earlier seasons, seemed natural. This seems kinda forced to me
No its the opposite, this is clearly forced. Dont compare shows, both are different and both really good.
@@MysticSmArts Totally agree on a lot of these moments.
I fail to see what family guy has to do with smiling friends.
Sometimes smiling friends feels normal
Probably the most normal show on adulyswim
Wacky characters doing regular things people always do is incredibly hilarious
Like spongebob where goofy ass Patrick has an ID with his address on it with an expiration date 💀 Or Mordecai from regular show going to art school
The bit when Shrimpina/Jennifer finally meets Shrimp and instantly loses her accent should be included here 🦐
Same with the "Mip is my stalker" bit. Just a flat cut happening is pretty funny.
I think you can just call her Jennifer. It's her name
@NateS917 I could, but I won’t 🤪 she is forever Shrimpina in our eyes
3:14
Y'know, the forest demon could've completely flipped the tables if he simply said
"Dude, this is my natural skin color..."
It’s so funny when Mr. Boss goes from his super high pitch voice silly voice to a casual relaxed voice
2:43 is even funnier knowing that Michael voices both those characters
Michael Cusack voices Alan?!?
@@SupremacySinema yep!
@@SupremacySinema which is why Mike will sometimes slip up and make Alan sound Australian for a word or two
I'm 100% convinced that the show writers go to random bars, restaurants, and public areas, and hook people up with microphones and just tell them to go about their day like normal
That’s Home Movies lol
The entirety of Smiling friends goes to Brazil feels like the cast went on vacation and someone brought a recorder making the whole episode off script.
It's so realistic it stresses me out
0:08 i love the sound design in this part
I never noticed before but he covers the bullet hole with one of his sauce cups
one of the best scenes in season one imo is when pim’s sister’s boyfriend throws up and says so earnestly “i’m sorry i ruined it” about the dinner that was already going horrible
0:52 fun fact: this one is ACTUALY unscripted!
It wasn't that it was unscripted. It was based on an actual conversation between Zach Hadel and Michael Cusack when writing the episode
Yea like the other guy said it wasnt entirely unscripted. Zach and Michael had a similiar conversation and decided to put it in the show
Just keep repeating the same reply forever man the people NEED IT @@cantinadudes
what you lying for
weird that the other guys here saying it was scripted cause i heard it was completely adlibbed myself

3:10 Hey look, Duncan and the flatearther guy had already appeared as background characters.
Pim must have invited them
I see Duncan, but where's Filmore?
Edit: Found him! You can see his head above Allan!
This reminds me of how Family Guy wants to have these moments of "relatable conversations", but all they do is just recite what's on the script, sometimes make it longer than it is. Whereas in "Smiling Friends", these moments feel natural and are quick moments that show how spontaneous some moments can be.
I like how genuinely angry pim is about the renaissance men not actually being renaissance
I love these moments, it brings the wacky show back to levels we can connect to and balances out the chaos 😂
Made me so happy when Pim pointed out that those clearly weren’t Renaissance men but instead were 12th century era crusaders.
I love how realistic these conversations and bits feel
3:20 this is one of my favourite scenes from smiling friends. Mr boss speaking like a normal person after bending his finger in an inhuman way and dealing with the consequences is so random and so funny I love it so much
im so happy this show got as big as it did.
these convos always remind me of home movies
I like when things feel like it’s real people talking while stuttering and interrupting each other.
I love it when they drop their character voice and talk in their regular voice sometimes.
This guy doing this show now too. Unstoppable.
Mr. Boss gives off that vibe like he's secretly evil; other than the few times he was prepared to kill someone, he's not all too bad.
0:22, He is so devastated.
I felt bad for him😭
Glib is not understanding the cube 1:04
Glep?
1:55 “You kiss your dad on the mouth”
Funny thing is thay Pim was telling a story. The only reason that Charlie would ask that question, was probably because Pim explicitely told him he kissed his dad on the mouth.
I love how, although being the most chaotic beings to exist, they are extremely comprehensive and chill about a lot of what goes on and that makes it totally dynamic and awesome
2:45 literally this entire episode felt that way
The best thing about the show is that the dialogue is so naturally delivered it feels like theres no script.
These awkward, mundane moments are what makes this show so funny 🤣
I love this style of dialogue, it feels so natural imo and makes it funnier
“You kiss your dad on the mouth? 🤨”
Finally someone made a compilation on this
the smiling friends did WHAT unscripted for 4 minutes ??
The Renaissance men were an unscripted masterpiece
3:04
It feels so wrong hearing the f word uncensored. I honestly think the beeps make the swears funnier
this is why i love this show so much. its like they had a script ready, read the script, and it awkwardly cut off so they had to improvise the rest of the scene
1:02 this was actually unscripted
It's scripted but based off a real conversation they had
Unscripted shit is the best, they should do an episode where they just have plot points they need to go through and have the actors improv all the stuff in between. Could be fun.

That entire Brazil episode felt unscripted
2:45 I literally never heard Michael’s voice in Alan until this clip right here, it sounds like he’s just talking to himself (which he but but yk what I mean)
Mr. Boss can be so creepy but at the same time so normal like when Allen gives away his gift right in front of him 😂
R.I.P mr boss doing paper clip bit😭
2:58 lmao rust on the pc + looks like my room and i say the same shit when my straws forgotten cus its not a big deal
This is what makes smiling friends my fav show
i love the long pause with the princess
I need need NEED more of realistic dialogue/unscripted chatter compilations across all cartoons.
Reminds me of the old Pixar bloopers
When Alan said he didn't want Mr boss's gift, pim was like "me personally I wouldn't take that disrespect"
You could've put the entire Brazil episode.
I love the show because of moments like these. It feels so natural. I hope they keep doing it if we get future seasons
I love how they talk over each other, it’s really realistic. Don’t get me wrong, I love every show I’ve watched but I always wondered how they never talked over each other cause it happens in real life ALL the time. I know we don’t come to tv shows FOR them to be realistic to a T(especially in anime/cartoons) but it’s a very nice touch when they are
I enjoy the way Alan counts things
"You chose the worst time to go"
My favorite part of Smiling Friends is the dialogue. They talk like real people, I love it
I love this show
I love how any episode can just end immediately after one of these conversations 😅
I love when Alan and Pim are talking over each other and thinking about how Michael would've recorded that since he does both voices.
These kind of scenes are like the cherry on the top when it comes to the humor in this show
I just love this kind of comedy. It so good
Holy shit, the Tech Deck brought me BACK
The phone call when the boys are in Brazil never ceases to amaze me
Alan in the background was the best part.
Bro the whole airport episode was unscripted lol
just the sudden moments of casual conversation is what gets me.
Pim and Alan talking over each other and then insisting on letting each other talk is really just an everyday situation XD
I love it when shows just do this, makes it more relatable.
i feel like this is a real thing they add specifically to make the characters more lifelike
"They Don't look like renaissance... men." that little pause kills me.
Love Alan sitting on the floor with the fridge open counting all the items in the fridge
My favorite part of the renaissance men bit is that in real time I said "They look more like medieval men" and then Pim said they don't look like renaissance men
Thank you for showing me this cartoons. It’s been a while since I laughed so hard at this kind of media.
I love how Mr. Boss has to look up at Allan even though he’s significantly taller than him.
I mean you already gave it to him, but i-its your gift man
Fun fact: the clip at 1:00 was actually a real conversation they had together and decided to put it in the show.
The Renaissance men bit was actually unscripted and is a masterpiece
Wait is Mr. Boss left handed?? 2:15
