MR. BOSS IS POSSESSED?! The Dark of Smiling Friends Theory!

[@Jonathan_Collins]

I like how the Mr Boss who is worth billions of dollars is willing to commit serious crimes for ten grand.

[@Antonio_Otter]

Did you mean: Every Rich CEO Ever.

[@Mr1worldin]

Lmao

[@lalakuma9]

How does Smiling Friends make money tho? Or maybe it's just his passion project? Or for money laundering? 🤔

[@BrandonScott-mi5pz]

EXCELLENT WORK. THE ROUND TABLE SMILING ☺ FRIENDS DARKEST SIDE

[@lizardfishbird]

I honestly don't even think he cares about the 10k. I think he just wants to commit crime

[@robbyroba]

I kind of think he's Charlie Brown who had fought in war only to get PTSD from it thus creating his second personality.

[@lalakuma9]

Maybe he's Pops from Regular Show but with Salad Finger's back story.

[@yokolama]

@@lalakuma9solid theory

[@kikkomori13667]

Plot twist: Smiling Friends is a sequel to Bring Me The Head Of Charlie Brown

[@DomsGameRoom]

LMFAO

[@michaelpineiro533]

Mr. Boss didn't want to commit mass murder, he just wanted to shoot Grim and Gnarly in the head.

[@michaelpineiro533]

Knowing Michael Cusack, there'll be some continuity. Knowing Zach Hadle, there is no continuity.

[@BlaizeTheDragon]

I mean... There's at least character continuity. Sort of.

[@michaelpineiro533]

I concede, Zach did say there's People, Critters, Magical Creatures, and Demons in the Smiling Friends Universe. That's not just continuity, it's world building.

[@xXx_Regulus_xXx]

@@michaelpineiro533 if that's serious worldbuilding I wonder which one Gwimbly is

[@rileyanthony]

I think smiling friends always had a dark side but it always had that shown side of optimism about it

[@xXx_Regulus_xXx]

that's what makes the optimism work. it doesn't pretend there's nothing bad in the world, it wants you to smile in spite of it.

[@willandwillstudios]

If you want more clues, look up past Oney Plays episodes. A lot of gags were pitched there so maybe they thrown in some story ideas

[@beacon626]

Smiling friends arg

[@daniellespradling9197]

I bet it’s the reason he created smiling friends in the first place

[@hanakoisbestgirl4752]

To try and make his other personality smile and bring him back if he truly turns or whatever

[@rantingvanmanstudios4362]

Oh boy, boss is losing his mind.

[@jeremytung1632]

Can’t lose what you never had.

[@BrandonScott-mi5pz]

BIG TIME.

[@Thatonegirl989]

This show terrifies and delights me

[@rdw98]

he actually predicted Erm… The Boss Finds Love? oh my god

[@samuraiforever9120]

it be weird if Mr. boss alter was the one who founded Frowning friends to make more money, but since he is unaware and assumed it was someone else and ceo egged him on to cover his tracks.

[@aTypicalMushroom]

All I know, its more meme material to use.

[@joshuahughes4704]

Smiling Friends is actually all a dream and Mr Boss is in a coma.

[@L1ncore]

Ill be real as somebody thats stony baloney like 24/7, i actually enjoy watching smiling friends MORE when im sober.

[@EnglishAaron]

I think it's just a joke that the actions in the game are affecting mr.boss outside of it, if you look closely it looks like he starts wave dashing.

[@IndexInvestingWithCole]

You couldn’t be more wrong

[@brandongaylord1039]

2 years anniversary of Amphibia The Hardest Thing tomorrow.

[@samuraiforever9120]

One theory on tropes for wild massive guess is that Mr. boss it a veteran founded a charity group help relief those going through similar, but seeing someone disrupt triggered ptsd.

[@TheAllSeeingEye2468]

Maybe Mr Boss is a metaphor for dementia

[@popebryanii7224]

Idk man, mr boss is the same guy who threw together some shitty slam poetry for charlies funeral. Im pretty sure its for the bit. Just like everything is in this show.

[@enthiegavoir5955]

Ok, at first I was thinking "they don't need deeper subtext" but then this video got me thinking. I have my own headcanon that Mr. Boss is a veteran, based on how he handles an AR properly. Maybe Mr. CEO was a bloodthirsty lter ego that was born in the blood of the Vietnam war. Mr. Boss returns home, finding it hard to cope with civilian life and keep Mr. CEO at bay, so he starts the Smiling Friends as a way to counteract his violent side.

[@tuckerton296]

Another bit of evidence twords him being a vietnam veteran- that's a early model m16 that he has. Triangle hand guard, no forward assist.

[@GlobnarTheGreen]

Thats the first suggestion i have heard that sounds plausible

[@GlobnarTheGreen]

@@tuckerton296true

[@user-jh4lx4mi3c]

seems like Mr.Boss might have a DARK Side

[@michaelpineiro533]

*flies in on a glider* ARE YOU IN, OR ARE YOU OUT!?

[@user-xm8uf5gy9p]

But that’s just the theory film theory yes

[@daxnelson8613]

Episode 4 of season 2 will likely shed light on this idea as it is supposed to be centered around Mr. Boss

[@chaosincarna]

I wonder if Boss is a very distance touch on the topic of Stampers.

[@LrrOfOmicronPersei8]

My headcannon is the frowning friends and mr peanut really ruined him

[@mr.jwashere7549]

Honestly id be down for either or. Like if theres actual lore and pay off here id def be down cuz that js sounds fun and wacky. But at the same time its perfectly fine and actually funny if it never really goes anywhere lol

[@teddyfurstman1997]

Mr. Boss is just funny af and a perfect representation of Corporate Bosses of America. Enjoying the first episode of S2.

[@theketaminekid1241]

I'd say he's a lot nicer than your average CEO tho..

[@Songvsgaming]

My max must’ve been tweakin bc I saw the election episode before gwimbly

[@angelotheclown1004]

Idk man not every show needs hidden depth or a plot

[@TwinRiver100]

i agree. it's a cool deep lore idea. but might not necessarily be part of a long running deeper arc like a lot of us might be used to with some shows like Gravity Falls, Adventure Time, Owl House, Amphibia, and all the other favorites of this channel . this could be just a surface level tweakng thing or something if that's the proper word. i don't really know the creators of this show that well, i've only seen small clips of their streams here and there for small jokes that people have referenced. So I have no idea if they'd be the kind of creators that would make one of those deep lore build up things or they're just stand-alone one shot guys with each episode loosely connecting or something. although it could be interesting if they would make some kind of episode on some of those deep lore type shows where they make fun of that sort of thing where someone tries to piece of bunch of stuff together and pretty much everything they say is wrong. despite it sounding like a really well put together theory and argument. And it's countered by there being a different deep lore that no one in their right mind could've guessed due to it being out there bonkers and connecting things that no one would've ever done...just for laughs or something.

[@errorx_x1063]

Shows like Aqua Teen and South Park can pull it off on the spot.

[@anthonyfrias5533]

I like that

[@Prodawn66]

Wrd

[@amazingspiderlad]

​@@errorx_x1063what are you talking about? South park did serialisation terribly

[@BigBussinBiscuits]

how accurate this is in S2 E4 is crazy

[@dariushcreates]

I would love it if Mr Frog becomes an overarching villain “hello, 🐸” Now that he’s the president 😂

[@JoshuaCriger]

ooh ooh ooh

[@PIZZA7y54d6gf6]

MILING FRIENDS HAS LORE!? (blows mind)

[@ronanhayes5813]

Do you think they may hint with this if in an episode or two later we might get a newspaper article of mr Frog being done under by Mr ceo

[@brownswarm]

2 green goblin references and we aren’t already halfway thru season 2

[@jaxkindo3953]

i always thought Mr. Boss has straight up PTSD to Vietnam war cuz sum veterans take home an M16 act all phycho or scitzafranic to there own demons ... that just my opinion about him :P

[@yinyangyt8749]

I don’t know. They’ll probably focus more on the boss or something. I know I’m excited for the second season. It will be great

[@shoolcreates1999]

He definitely shot Squiggly Miggly too lol

[@Peas218]

@3:28 but that’s not renaissance

[@sadguy399]

What’s this show supposed to be about again? Is it good or something?

[@asimplepie2279]

Yes it’s a very good show. The main premise is it’s a business that helps people smile. But it’s a fairly random show. Give it a try.

[@T-M-P-M]

I sure hope not

[@Marie-cq5td]

It is Meat Canyon? Because yes. Yes- is a perfect secret lore- not even vegans can say no. and if you guys haven’t hired Hunter yet- then What the Fück are you even doing . I’m asking. What, are u Even. Doing… Just don’t do a Borrasca- I would have said this way sooner but I can’t spell his name!!

[@JordonBeal]

Do you actually talk like this in real life?

[@SaraEry]

Yesterday I watched s2 ep1 and 2 so that's perfect timing

[@seedrid]

Mr ceo wants money Mr boss does genuinely care for his employee and when he’s being a little odd it is actually just his personality

[@CosmicTornado1]

I found out that a new episode aired because of this video. Thanks

[@nonmec]

He literally looks and talks like my ex boss. It scared me

[@danielsantiagourtado3430]

Love your content! Thanks For this 🎉🎉🎉

[@elchapofamily]

i believe you too that mr boss was just lying about motion capture because at the start charlie does say that mr boss went missing and he did the smash bros knockoff but heres the problem the production of super smash bros knockoff started after the boss was missing so he was lying

[@mugen_shima]

Look up Manchurian candidates

[@randomwarehousestudios]

I’ve always thought he was possessed since the frowning friends episode and Gwimbly

[@g0thfae]

Reading the title after watching the wedding ep 👀

[@manoftheusajones5147]

Have any of you thought of Beavis and Butt-Head doing North Korea🇰🇵, or even Japan🇯🇵 in their next Movie?

[@frillylily8005]

If you’re wondering how he could be possessed because of alcohol abuse. Biblically abusing substances an lead to one opening themselves up to the demonic beint addicted to lust or greed can also do the same

[@AndesMints94]

I love this show and almost forgot it existed. HOW.

[@SnowBunniePaladin]

Bro doesn’t even like smiling friends you can tell

[@ryanclemons1]

I wonder if mr boss as ever really smiled or if he just fakes it like myself so others don't worry.

[@rakeem1389]

dw it was just his girlfriend, Satan's daughter

[@DomsGameRoom]

After watching the last episode I think it’s confirmed

[@h0peros382]

_Possibly_ ETA (stay with me, I'm about to make a MASSIVE jump). Though it's possible to simply be a picky eater, it's also possible that OP's niece is autistic; let me explain. Commonly, some autistic people are accused of being "fussy eaters". In reality, oftentimes these autistic people, by virtue of being autistic, have hyper- and hypo-sensitivities to food texture, flavor, smell, sound, etc. This applies for nearly all physical things with some autistics. And, though it's unfortunately common, specifically autistic women get either misdiagnosed or just ignored in terms of their autistic traits. This is because the first ever diagnostic criteria for autism was tested strictly on young, white boys (from around 3-10 years old) in the last century, and it also can be traced to the way women are raised in comparison to men, but that's an entirely different ballpark, and this comment is long enough as it is. As for why she only wanted chicken nuggets: autistic (and other neurodivergent) people tend to hyperfocus on obscure topics. For autistic people, this could be anything, including food. For all I know, maybe it was the texture, or taste, or anything else, but that's neither here nor there. Sorry for the infodump lol. *TL;DR: The neice has a possibility of being autistic.*

[@h0peros382]

Holy shit, my comment got messed up and went to another video 😭😭😭 mb y'all, will delete

[@TheSHOCPOGER]

I like how this was actually correct cuz of last episode 😂

[@gomo.d4018]

I have my own theory.✨️ I think he created smiling friends in order to stop his other self from reeking havoc as in the two personalities made a deal and smiling friends is part of it e.g. in the last episode of season 1. He praised the frowning friends, lamenting not having that idea first.🤔 The first and last episode of season 1 have the same theme, what stopping you from doing the unthinkable in this terrible world, 😳 The answer in ep1 was find your passion something to live for.🎉 The last ep it's because no one wants to kick the bucket 😢 Even though eventually everyone has to hence "the renaissance is coming to town" Which i feel is an extension of his duality

[@gothdad6666]

spoiler this is hilarious cus in this last episode he literally gets possessed by a demon

[@Pool_Girl]

the lights are on but no ones home

I feel like Mr boss is one of those things where people think “oh he has a a deep backstory and that’s why he’s like that” but in reality he’s just fucking insane like no explanation he’s just a crazy guy and I kinda want it like that

[@SquishPotato]

I wonder if anyone else is possessed, some other characters also have red eyes

[@seedrid]

Those were the characters that are portrayed as just the bad guys like the executive in mr frog or the daughter of satan

I saw a theory that Boss is a veteran who started Smiling Friends as a way to deal with his PTSD, hence his familiarity with military-grade firearms.

[@DDarkestKnight]

Honestly it's more interesting than what I've seen from this show so far

[@MollyDollyy774]

2:34 Yeah, I really felt like Mr. Boss has some Type of Alter Ego... Guess I now have something to relate to with him... I didn't expect this... I dissociate sometimes, and someone else... Comes out, that has said stuff and done stuff I don't know about, and they scare me, especially because I myself am a very Empathetic, and kind person usually, I care alot about Mental Health, even as someone with Truama, and I'm Trapped and have no Control of my life, I'm treated like a Child when I'm literally 20. I'm a Trans Lesbian {Unable to Transition due to my Situation...} very different from Mr. Boss, but what I'm saying is we both have Alter Egos, and having that... Is, sometimes kinda scary, and the biggest fear is, people aren't aware, others don't know 4:05 There's another thing... I've been told sometimes that I've been mutters or speaking under my Breath, when I never remember doing it, I wouldn't have realised If I wasn't told about it
