Smiling Friends is the type of adult show I'd be ok with my kids watching.
Halloween episode would make for a solid Halloween tradition with the kids lol

I never liked Rick and Morty. I hate being negative simply because the world is.

It's an okay show when you sit back and tell yourself that Rick is just some loser who will never be happy in his philosophy and the only reason to cheer for him is to see even worse people get theirs.
The concept behind smiling friends can be used for at least 12 seasons
I'm not even joking, it's that good
Zach had said he wanted it to be like a million things, so I really could see that. Basically seasons of excuses for cool experimental animations
He also said he doesn't want the show to last for ten seasons, he doesn't want to over rely on it or watch it turn into a new simpsons, family guy, or rick and morty.
I love smiling friends cause downers have ruled for too long
Absolutely agree, I love thoughtful sad stuff like Bojack but I loooove Smiling Friend’s approach
Thanks for watching and commenting by the way!
Smiling Friends is such a breathe of fresh air for Western adult animation
Before that every show wanted to be Family Guy (or at least the later seasons of the show) mean spirited, crass for the sake of being crass, violent, and just stooping to the lowest common denominator in terms of humor
Then came Rick and Morty, and then every show had to nitpick, it had to "deconstruct" everything with overwhelming cynicism.
It became so tiresome after a while
Exactly!! I really loved Bojack Horseman mind you, but that show was at its best when it wasn’t trying to be funny weirdly and could easily feel a bit much at times
In all honesty I don’t think the nihilism/cynicism is an issue with Rick and Morty itself. Rather, a lot of immature fans see a character like Rick and idolize him instead of understanding that the show very explicitly is trying to tell you that Rick isn’t happy and you shouldn’t be like him.
@@gigachad3925 this is why nihilism and genre deconstructions are absolutely caustic for whatever niche they're in: not so much for the deconstruction itself, but because so many people misunderstand and think the takeaway is "being a miserable jerk is the coolest thing ever!" and then you get mutant clones flooding the genre. every deconstruction needs a reconstruction to follow it. otherwise it would be like a surgical incision with no stitches
Smiling friends is like if you gave a weird middle schooler a notebook and made every drawing an episode
Lmao peak television
i remember watching a video on the first episode of the show, and i think it's also worth bringing up in discussion of the anti-nihilism theme of the show.
the constant back-and-forth between Pim and Desmond's ideologies is pretty interesting to watch play out, especially since it ends with Pim being unable to whip out a winning counterpoint for Desmond after he's hit with the "life is just blips of happiness to distract ourselves from misery and mundanity" card, and it ends up being Desmond who finds the answer himself, rather than it being from Pim's wisdom.
but yeah, great vid ya got here!
Oh yeah that certainly was an important episode! I’ve just seen too many videos on it and didn’t want to parrot what I had already heard others say
The Cusac hate is wild.
I didn’t ever say I hate him, I just feel like he’s overshadowed by Zach online. Personally I only really liked yolo as a RUclips video, and although I enjoyed bush adventures, it always felt like bargain bin Big Lez Show. Seriously no hate, I just feel he does best working with someone to reign in his style
Yea kinda cringe lol
Even if Zach had much more viral success then Micheal but if you go to Australia Damo and Darren is quoted daily over there. Even if they aren't worldwide hits smiling friends banter humor comes from there
@@MrBooone you’re exactly right and people can’t handle it
To be fair, you need to have a very high IQ to understand Smiling Friends.
The Cusack disrespect 😒
I just don’t care for Yolo 😭
Rick and Morty outback was pretty solid tho. I just want more success for my boi Zach, truly Zach pilled and Zach biased to my core I admit
@@MrBooone Glaze Zach all you want mate, it doesn't mean you have to downplay someone's career 🙄
@@reje3814he’s doing much better off than Zach. Also Yolo low key sucks lol
@@reje3814 He isn't downplaying cusacks career, he just isn't a fan of his work
Oi damo give us your lighter
What I find EXTRA fantastic about that the president episode (despite it being my least favorite episode of the entire series so far), is that, despite having that misleading scene of charlie being a centrist, the episode straight up makes fun of all the conspiracies surrounding politics. It embraces the fact there are definitely shadowy figures that control the elections, but it doesn't show them as powerful beings capables of ruling the country... THEY'RE JUST WORMS, they can't even get the president to be reelected.
So this episode is straight up telling us that... yes, there IS a conspiracy behind politics... but it's all pretty stupid, and at the end of the day, the people responsible of making a change are still, well... us.
despite being my least favorite episode of the series, this episode is still way better than most adult cartoons out there
Damn, my least favourite is certainly that restaurant murder mystery episode
Dude you goofed up on the Michael cusack stuff. he made the rick and morty bushland adventure. He did yolo crystal fantasy and it did have 2 seasons. the second was called yolo silver destiny which i recommend you taking a look at because its way better than the episodic first season and has an arc to it. secondly its so easy to give zach all the credit but it was 100 percent a joint operation. yes zach likes to put an emphasis on odd little characters with funny voices deliveries and odd usage of words but michael does so many of the gags in the show. such as the 3 frames of characters running. the odd look of certain characters and of course all of the rotoscope gags. i imagine just as much writing as zach. they even went into detail about their writing process for the frowning friends episode where they finished the script together on a late night. michael deserves so much more credit than people give him.
Oh for sure! I’m just saying there are far more people who were hyped because Psychicpebbles style of comedy is miles ahead of his. I liked bush adventures, but it was mostly for the gimmick , it basically felt like the big lez show but less funny. Cusack is great, he’s just got more mainstream television appeal. People just really love to see our old newgrounds creator and oneyplays boy succeed. It’s certainly a joint deal, but so was a lot of Star Wars with George Lucas. Once again, you are right, no hate for Cusack, he’s just a pretty well off creator that makes mildly ok shows on his own. I’d watch ballmasterz any day over his stuff on adultswim (and I certainly goofed up a lot on his part lmao ☠️)
Smiling Friends is better than Rick and Morty in my Opinion. Like both show, but Smiling Friends is like a Celebration of Internet Animation. It does Adult Humor without being mean spirited.
nihilism is when you unalive yourself, I am very smart
Big brain moment
Isn't the whole "Rick and morty is for people with high iq" thing was just a post by some fan on reddit? I mean I don't even think the creators think their show is that smart. And they especially don't even agree with Rick's views of the world. Or I guess the multiverse or whatever.
Oh yeah, it just had a smug air to it some times due to its showrunner. I still liked it, but it caught on for a reason. People online Unironically said you had to be smart to understand the themes lmao
Dan Harmon 100% thinks he is a genius, and there is a bit of that energy in the show, even if it is not to the degree of that sarcastic post.
Show was much funnier when less of the "lore" and multiverse was explained. Doing multiple episodes that are dry, no real jokes and played seriously felt off. It was trying to be more then what it was
Yes but the whole meta commentary they been doing for the past three seasons, the show definitely thinks itself smarter than it actually is
Good stuff! I also love the show for embracing life lmao
Glad you enjoy it!
I love how the metaphors in smiling friends are just the right amount of obvious. They aren't hidden under multiple layers of references, yet pim and Charlie never turn to the camera and go "Mr Frog is the way he is because of the big bad business man." Smiling friends reminds of the better saturday morning cartoons in a lot of ways.
Exactly
My biggest gripe with this video is how you detach Michael from Smiling Friends and paint the show as if it’s Zach’s show. Both put in the work and it shows. You may not like Michael which is fine, but to undermine him is wrong.
I never did that! I said Zach is where all the hype is coming from mostly, and it’s not far off. The oneyplays crowd is massive. I never undermined him, I just see him as the guy who got lucky having more mainstream appeal that’s a bit lukewarm (most of the reception for his shows have been as much). This isn’t to say he’s bad or not important to the show, he’s just not where a majority of the hype came. So many people are misinterpreting me saying I’m not huge on yolo as me completely shutting on Michael and sayings it’s Zach’s show, which couldn’t be further from the truth. Zach is just where the main DNA of what makes the show GREAT is, from the memeabilty of the visuals to the strange voices.
@@MrBooone oh okay sorry about that *holds golden spork
You have, even if you didnt mean it, the video seems to HEAVILY imply the show is mostly funny due to zachs input and that michael isnt as funny, even in another comment you said "Zachs comedy style is far ahead of cusaks" really it just sounds as if you are an oneyplays fan that has mostly seen Zachs stuff.
@@lewissthompson2005I’ve seen his stuff, it’s just not anything amazing. I still believe the two mix their humour, but it seems filtered through Zach. Kind of like George Lucas’s insanity was filtered by his editors and directors
Unlike hazbin Hotel, smiling friends is actually funny and witty
And they don’t spam swears loool
Hazbin hotel was good when it was on RUclips
Both are good
I swear the majority of people complaining about hazbin hotel haven't even watched the show

Thanks man! I cooked this one up a bit faster than usual, so I'm glad what I meant got across well enough! Usually put a lot more editing into my videos, but I wanted to do more weekly styled stuff that is less time consuming.
Lmao yeah the worms were so Angry at Glep for voting for mr frog they doxxed him
LMAO love it
Just a reminder, I'm not hating on Cusack or minimizing his role in the series. He's a great animator, but his show wasn't as talked about as Zach's Chaos on oneyplays or his animations, that's all I meant. Also I just wasn't huge on Yolo, but that's just my personal take
I think it just came across as not well researched or like you glossed over cusack. Which like an unspoken rule of content creation is people will point out what you don't say. Maybe it's the deeply rooted contrariansim cynisim and hateful nature of the internet. Just be careful in the future is the advice I have. In tye age of "hot takes" everyone has a counter take. Much respect. Creating content is hard. Let alone creating content that's catered to the highest demographic possible.
@@shibuyadaemon9111 yeah I researched him, I just goofed the name of the second season. It was certainly the weakest part of the video due to being rushed at work and doing this for fun. I still stand by the fact that less people were hyped over yolo. Personally thought I was gonna get my usual 200 to 300 views, so I kind of glossed over it. Certainly aim to be more careful with that.
"YOLO: Crystal Fantasy" had a second season, called Silver Destiny, and it was renewed for a third season called Rainbow Trinity
Yeah I rushed that segment out sadly, I partially corrected myself in text popping up lol
@@MrBooone Personally I think YOLO is a decent placebo when waiting fir a new Smiling Friends season to come out
Koala Man was also fun, too bad it got caught in the crossfire due to being co-created by Justin Roiland

You ever noticed how the amazing atheist and linkara sound similar
Honestly dude, that's why I don't watch a lot of adult animation anymore because it's so negative. I can't get into American Dad or Rick and Morty what are the similar shows because because most of the characters are just terrible people doing terrible things.
Smiling friends is so refreshing because it's literally a show about making people smile. That on its own set it apart, and on top of that, every episode has a pretty happy ending. Pim is the cutest little optimist and I just love his dynamic with Charlie, who can be a bit pessimistic himself, but isn't a total downer.
Exactly, it's such a sweet and chaotic show
Yolo HAS a second season called Silver Destiny. It has some great moments where the characters grow, at least little
Yeah I added a little caption that I goof’d that up 😂
I might check it out, I’m just being Zach biased
Seeing the variety of styles in the thumbnail. Now that's a real "motley crew" if I ever saw one 🤣🤣🤣
yo michael is the goat yolo crystal fantasy is really really funny
Yeah it’s not bad! Just wasn’t my cup of tea. I just liked it as a RUclips video more lol
The newest episode was one of the best in the series imo, the animation is so good and I genuinely think the show itself has made my view on the world less cynical. Amazing show
Seriously I completely agree, the creativity on display each episode is staggering
Koala man being cancelled made me so sad, I loved that show
I’m very much an optimistic nihilist, so seeing a show that doesn’t try to be genuinely cynical is painfully refreshing.
This is the content quality I would expect from a channel with 100k subscribers. Good job.
And this was me rushing a video out during a busy week! Thanks for watching and commenting something so nice!
I remember during the first three seasons of Rick and Morty some people wanted the show to be less edgy so bad. Got so many laugh reacts for saying the show was pretty inherently nihilistic. Like saying that was the "I'm 14 and this is deep take" instead of plain truth.
As someone who watched both seasons of Michael Cussack’s “Yolo” series, it’s surprisingly good! Definitely can see its influence into the style and humor in Smiling Friends. I personally recommend it.
Yeah, I think I might push forward with watching more than the first 3 episodes some time
YOLO Crystal Fantasy is fantastic chill out with your slander
Thanks for watching, but I’m only voicing my own opinion, sorry you don’t agree
@@MrBooone is your entire shtick just replying to comments criticizing you with "thanks for watching" instead of valid rebuttals?
The thing with smiling friends is that it's not trying to do some shitty "I have a degree in this" take on dumb shit. It's just what comedy should really be.

Great video-essay, btw
Thanks dad ! 🙏
The president episode is an interesting choice in example, because at least from what I've seen, it's what separated the people who genuinely enjoy Zach and Michael's sense of humor and the overall vibe of the show from people who are just watching cause it's not the usual slop that is adult animated comedy.
Exactly!
Bro, Yolo Crystal Fantasy s1 and whatever s2 was called was absolutely funny. Also Bushworld Adventures is the best Rick and Morty episode ever, full stop.
Yeah but you have to admit it has very little fanfare. I just found it alright, and while I thought bushworld was funny, look up big lez show. It felt a far lesser version of that. I don’t think his shows are bad, they’re just lacking that secret sauce
YOLO Crystal Fantasy is great, just as you know :)
It's not my favorite, but with all the love for it in the comments I'll certainly give it another go! I just always felt like it gave me less funny Big Lez Show vibes
@@MrBooone I had to look it up, but overall I think it seems different in terms of comedy style. But you're saying you have seen it?
Damn, what the hell did Cusac did to you?
I didn’t say anything bad about him though? I just said it wasn’t anything special lol
Aye yo that remixed intro and scene comp was lit!
Thanks man! I have a ton of fun editing intros, music video editing was my old gig 😂
Totally agree that Smiling Friends is a breath of fresh air. I wonder tho if most of its “commentary” is coincidental. Like its so easy to be cynical about everything, but it compelling (cool, awesome) that this show has a different sentiment.
Oh I have no doubt a lot of it isn’t coincidence. However the whole anti-Rick and Morty thing certainly wasn’t intended, the internet just rolled with it. Thanks for commenting and watching btw!
If you are wondering why Micheal got two series before making stuff with Zach, Australian adult swim baby, they made Micheal some good deals. Also Micheal had been making some stuff for other shows before that point
Yeah, I figured as much! I know he opened the door with them via Rick and Morty bush adventures. Once again, gotta stress, no hate for the guy, he's just not my cup of tea personally. I feel with Zach a lot of his ideas and visuals are basically filtered into a more digestable chaos that's actually funny
Love all these vids and comments about "Nihilism bad" when the creators themselves said thats absolutely not their intention :D.
Ever heard of death of the author? Not to mention that Zach and Michael never outright say anything they do is to say anything, and yet they still do. It’s likely explaining a joke, they never do it outright. I’ve watched their interviews
@@MrBooone death of the author is not even arguable. How else do you explain the matrix with it's supposed pro trans message or whatever. I was moreso commenting on all sorts of people saying "Zach and Michael are brilliant with their anti nihilism show" when they directly said that's not what they are doing.
As the saying goes "Die Gedanken sind frei". I just think it's funny people ascribe things to our lovely critters that they themselves denied.
"There really is no hope..." - Zach Hadel (said while laughing)
My fave adult animations rn are primal and smiling friends. This is the kind of adult animation I want. Not a bunch of asshole characters beign destructive for themselves and for people around them and glorifying horrible aspects
I feel like season two so far has been kinda lacking compared to season one. The Boss' Wife episode in particular had a couple good gags but felt like the jumpscare gags just took over more runtime than they needed.
That might just be your expectations, I’ve found it matched season 1 perfectly. It’s super subjective mind you, but I felt the same about my fav adultswim show Joe Pera in its second season. Felt it lacked the charm of its first season, but season 3 recaptured the vibe. But going back to season 2 now, I realize it’s great I just had expectations that were far too high and I was wanting more of the same
I. Love. YOLO CRYSTAL FANTASY!!!! I hope they keep it going. what's there NOT to like? its honestly funnier than smiling friends in my opinion. and no, you were right. it does have 2 seasons. the 2nd season was just under a separate name.
Thanks for watching! Yeah, honestly it's super subjective at the end of the day! Comedy do be like that
bro why the diss for cusack wtf?? he is the goat
There was no diss for Cusack, I was only saying there's more built up hype for Zach. At no point did I say he wasn't part of the show or that I hate him. I just think that as tv shows go, Yolo wasn't amazing and its reviews from audiences reflect that, it's locked at a 70% which means it was just fine for most people. When his shows came out there was next to nothing I heard of it online. This isn't to say they're bad shows, or that I think he sucks, it's just that more people were excited due to Oneyplays and Zachs amazing animation/humor
Smiling friends type beat
😤 🎶
unnesecary ammount of time shitting on Cusack despite your pinned comment dawg
I never did though, bud. I was only saying I don’t know anyone who asked for two seasons of yolo. He’s not bad, he’s just very ok comedy wise
He never shit on him, he just said what most of us were thinking out loud. Cusack isn’t funny, and his shows are bad. No one talked about yolo at all, but everyone talks about Zach and his animations and time on obeyplays. I’m shutting on him more than this video, this video just says he clearly heard nothing of yolo online, and he’s not alone. Stop sucking Cusack off in the comments, dude made a solid video and just voiced that Zach brought more hype. Dude literally only talks about his show being ok for 15 seconds

@@MrBooone Justin Roland was involved in making it so there are some similarities with Rick and Morty (more in the animation style) but it has such a funny niche Australian feel to it. It also has some surprisingly well written plot elements. Worth a watch.
You are going way to in depth like most people do in shows and games then you need to.

@@MrBooone my brother in Christ you made a nine minute video about “nihilism” it’s literally just a funny show 🫥
Ah I see why now. Your channel is filled with degenerate anime shit..
YOLO is great I loved it very much. Koala man not so much
yeah, Cusack's output is a bit of a mixed bag for most. That's what I was trying to get across in my video, I just had to rush it out because I had a lot of work to do that week lol
Yolo is more in smilig friends spirit, more chaotic, random and funny. Koala man is more grounded but it doesnt have that chaotic and weirdness that yolo and smiling friends has.
Kickass video
Thanks man, the comment and view mean the world! I’m working on more meatier stuff to come, especially more smiling friends and adultswim. 🙏

If you squint at 3:38, you'll see the caption I added for that. I dun goof'd
The show is pretty funny but viewing from the lens of a Christian perspective, the optimistic nihilism thing really doesn’t do anything for me. Still seeing a problem of people thinking nothing matters when every human being has infinite worth to the Creator. Jesus actually lived and is historically verifiable, He’s not a myth like many shows mock, especially when saying He didn’t exist is a fringe stance even modern historians reject as many extrabiblical accounts testify to events of the Gospels and Acts of the Apostles, as well as prophecies coming to pass seen by ruins of cities and inscriptions of Kings like David (whom many say was legendary) to name a few. All I’m saying is people will never find true peace unless they trust in Christ, I would know, because I called myself a Christian but was only nominally so in the past who never read the Bible and didn’t try to understand anything. But when I asked Jesus to show me the truth, He lead me to reading and researching all of this and He has my life, for He conquered death and vindicated Himself, though He didn’t have to. Jesus is Lord, Christ is King!
Proselytizing isn't going to reach the target audience of Smiling Friends. They've seen it enough already to be completely apathetic to it
@@Hatneas I see a lot of atheists proselytizing in Christian channels, it’s hypocritical that they want us to not talk about the truth and say we’re “forcing religion on people” while that’s exactly what they do. Honestly though, I don’t really care and tune out people who try to tell me to shut up about the faith.
@XX_MelobraacRedux Those people don't actually care about what they say they believe, they only care about a fight. Reaching them isn't really possible until they do a lot of growing. Don't waste your energy trying to reach people who don't want to be reached. I'm not trying to say to stop talking about it, I'm saying that you should direct your efforts better

The pacing of the show is way too different from season 1. It’s sad that by watching it you can notice they cleaned up the show from what previously made it funny.
I completely disagree, that just sounds nit picky to me. But it’s fine, we all bring our own set of expectations to a new season. I felt similar to joe pera season 2, but I completely changed my opinion on that with time
smiling friends engages in a concept kurzgesagt introduced me to called "optimistic nihilism". where traditional nihilism goes "nothing matters, so what's the point?" a positive spin on nihilism is "nothing matters, so why not?". nothing bad can happen if you're dead, but nothing good can either, so why not wait it out to see what good is left in store for you while you can and make your own meaning in the meantime?
