I like how Pim and Charlie never actually solve problems with their clients themself. They usually fail. It always comes to some weird coincidence or another random character to end the job. 1. They fail to make Desmond smile. It just turns out he loves to hurt little purple guys, P&C didn't even know their office is infested with them. 2. All their attempts to help Mr Frog return his show failed. His apology wouldn't necessarily work. He just murders a guy and that's what pleases his fans. P&C were shocked. 3. Pim made a mistake with Shrimpina, and Charlie failed to make Shrimp grow confidence. Lucky Shrimp, the girl turns out to be a fan of Mouse Quest. 4. P&C just get handed the solution of Saulty's murder case by Century Egg. 5. They kill Mip by accident. Moreover, they deliver the bomb to Princess, who luckily has good reaction. 6. It's Mr Boss who deals with Frowning Friends, and Renaissance dudes "finish the job". 7. Both Pim and Charlie failed to help their respective clients in Gwimbly episode. It just happens for two psychos to run into each other, which resulted in two game mascots come up with Smash bros type game. 8. Jimbles smiles because he realises himself that he is a moron, which is reflected in a successful speech. He still loses. 9. P&C fail to make brothers reunite. It's sudden successful homunculus who stops their conflict. Moral of the story? It all comes down to luck when you are two fairly normal dudes in a wacky f'ed up world trying to make people smile.

Something I noticed in the Mip episode, is that when Mip is accidentally killed by Pim, Mip tells Pim to deliver the gift, without Charlie.

the halloween thing would be mid if not for ending yeah. the blackface ending carries it so hard however a huge addition to the impact of that ending is that charlie, upon seeing the monster get ripped apart, set on fire and eaten alive, says "this is why i don't do costumes on halloween" as payoff to the thing at the start as if that outcome was normal or expected.

[@MrMelonsz]

Yeah. The way I see it, it’s not just the episode being luckily “carried”. It’s a smartly planned payoff and a reason for why the episode is well made.

the joke of the mascots being "innocent" is even funnier since it kinda still counts as attempted murder and also desecration of a corpse lmao

Alan is actually the accountant which is why he doesn't really show any interest in making people smile, that's just not his job. It also explains why Pim and Charlie wear clothes but Alan and Glep are naked most of the time, critters like them prefer not to wear clothes, but Pim and Charlie have to meet a lot of other species so they wear clothes to make them more comfortable, but since Alan and Glep works in the office, they don't have to do that.

[@flaniel9697]

There's this one interview with Zach Hadel where he says how the show is not trying to do anthing. Except for the what the name of the show is. It's a show that wants to make you smile and nothing else and if it does that what else does it really need in an episode. If you smile, then the episode has fulfilled it's purpose

[@bandannadoo]

In other words, the show was the real Smiling Friend all along

[@cannonbrock7235]

Being an Oneyplays fan really gives you a whole other layer of understanding to many of the jokes and one liners, a lot of them are call backs to events and play through episodes from like a decade ago. It’s cool to see perspectives and opinions from people likely not familiar with oneyplays or Zach as a deeper person and his comedic personality.

Ive gotta confess that i kinda like the boss breastfeeding joke... I think its mainly Jason's reaction when the boss asks if he wants him to bite him. The weak "yeah" is so funny to me. The thing about this show is even the weakest episodes have great bits. I laughed my ass off when Pim was imaging his kids in that scary house. In the president episode where he uses the emergency broadcast system to announce thay hes gonna be the money president and then immediately ruins the economy is hysterical. Allen is by far the best character, his line delivery is hysterical and so memorable. I hope the next season will give us more of him, the paper clip episode has got to be my favorite one.

26:35 - Alan is normally working in the office or getting supplies, so my guess is that his official job is office manager and support staff for Pim and Charlie. Sort of the "mission control" guy. Helping people directly isn't his job, but he sometimes fills in to his chagrin.

the “pim finally turns green” episode title comes from the season 1 commentary when michael and zach talk about how the original character design for pim was green and how it was changed to pink late into the show’s development. they joked that pim would actually turn green in the last episode of season 2.

I'd argue something similar but the opposite, he gets hooked on pointless things instead of talking about the quality of jokes, you know, set up and pay off, because even with the more random jokes, they all make sense within the world, the writing in smiling friends is incredible honestly, and you can definitely go into the references, events playing out and how they did and the like, but he doesn't in any meaningful way
