I can't begin to explain how happy I am to see Zach and Michael living their dream. Adult Swim, you have given me too much. I am severely in your debt.
Good luck getting out of it in the economy. I knew a guy who owed them a mere 100 dollars and they sent the robot chicken to his house and shot his leg off
It's the his last role according to his Wikipedia page, so unless he already recorded for something that's yet to be released, Smiling Friends will go down as his final ever role. Sadly God can never come back now because his voice is completely irreplicable.
@@idot3331 It's not his last role, he did a number of other cartoons at the time, main one being Cyberchase. The most recent release he was in was The Paloni Show.
@BrxIghtside iirc, I thought he stated he could get it fixed via surgery (deviated septum) but doesn't because he likes how unique he sounds Take that statement with a large grain of salt, I can't seem to find where I'd have heard or read it
I actually met tomar in line for this event. He ripped off 8 of my 10 fingers when i went in for a handshake and then took a picture of us with my phone and kept it. Really wholesome and fun guy.
i remember seeing Tomar at the supermarket last week. I went up to say hello, before I could say anything he instantly turned to face me with completely pitchblack eyes. He started to open his mouth to say something but i woke up in bed.
so happy seeing zach finally being comfortable around cameras. till now, spotting zach anywhere could be paralleled with seeing bigfoot, it’s so nice to see him appear everywhere right now
@@johnloverman I actually don’t know, that’s a good question… I haven’t seen the full show, but it honestly makes a lot more sense for Tom Fulp to be moderating lol
The tomar joke is funny and all but i don’t think it fits in context of sf or zach interviews i don’t think he appreciates constantly being followed by that joke just keep it in the oneyplays bubble and let the man live lol
I'm really proud of Zach for coming out in front of the cameras after spending so much time desperately avoiding being filmed or having pictures taken. The dedication to promoting his passion project is admirable. It is really weird to see video of him though after like 11 years of just hearing his voice.
Seeing Zach in person after years of watching oneyplays is so surreal. I genuinely imagine him as a little creature whenever he talks, seeing him in real life is genuinely unnerving. Adult Swim should pay to have him surgically crafted into a real goblin
still reeling with the information that zach is a real human being it's heartwarming to see him more confident speaking in public ngl! him and michael are some really talented, funny dudes and i'm so happy seeing their work getting so much recognition and love 💕 rock on, fellas
All this talk about Zach and Michael but not a single mention of being moderated by Mr. Newgrounds himself, Tom Fulp. So glad to see how far these guys have come.
“we’re just fans of Smiling Friends ourselves so it’s like, what would we want to see?” that single sentence explains why Smiling Friends is better than 95% of adult animation these days
Really impressive how Zach perfected his manually controlled robot, little disappointed he never opened the face plate and showed the audience his little goblin body though
I love that Tom is hosting this and Tomar hosted the Q&A. Not gonna name names, but it’s nice to see they haven’t forgotten their roots unlike other creators who got their start on Newgrounds.
@@duKKan_ thats what i was gonna say. Only reason i watch them any more is the co host. Hes still so chill and down to earth. He deserves his own show, though i know he wouldn’t want that.
I remember in 2014 listening to sleepy cast, and when responding to a Patreon question about where they’d wanna be in 5 years the one answer that always stood out to me was Zach and his goal of being involved, or more ambitiously creating and running a show on tv, specifically an adult swim type network. I always hoped the best for Zach as my favorite content creator online and to see where he is now and achieving that same long term goal makes me so happy and inspired to follow my own long term goals. Thank you Zach and micheal, I wish you both the best and can’t wait to see what’s next for you two mongaloids. 💪😎
Smiling Friends was what introduced me to the crazy minds of these two and it’s wild to see how far they’ve come after all these years. They’re such an inspiration to the creative world and I hope they go far.
I cherish this moment, this blessed moment, where Zachary Hadel has graced us with his Adonis-like physique and presence before he goes back into his 200 yr long cryostasis.

It feels jarring to actually see Zach in person. That voice has just taken a life of its own to me all these years, I'm tempted to believe this is just some guy Zach hires do lip sync and do his public appearances.
I’ve been watching Zach since the newgrounds days. It’s so cool seeing him today. Congratulations buddy 👏 And to Mike as well! He’s fairly new to me but he’s awesome and deserves it too! 👏👏👏👏

He can be handsome all he wants. He has no right to be 5’10. Small gremlin or bust
