that's the beauty of smiling friends, one person's least favorite episode is someone else's favorite. There have not been any bad episodes of this series so far.

[@dennismakarov93]

I figured that with my best friend because the episodes I really enjoyed he didn’t as much, and vice versa. And then the jokes he liked I didn’t care as much for, and vice versa. Yet we still love the show.

@@eaeangel5641the president one from season 2 was by far my least favorite and I think the first real contender for a “bad episode” in my eyes. But like you said, wouldn’t be surprised if that was someone’s favorite and that’s totally fine and what makes this show so great

[@stevenmark4407]

@@eaeangel5641that’s true, my friends and I have completely different lists.

[@Coconut_Prrson]

Shrimp's oddysey is pretty underrated. When you dissect it, it best depicts Pim and Charlie's different ways of working and thinking, with Charlie being a realist and Pim and idealist. Also ngl David Firth nailed every single line delivery. Also ngl I feel like a lot of season 2 episodes struggle with pacing, having to rush through plots way too much instead of being allowed to truly explore the concepts they introduce. It really put me off most S2 episodes, specially Brother's egg. (at least in comparation of S1)

[@awill3454]

Brother’s Egg tried a similar format where Charlie and Pim split up but was not executed very well, probably due to time constraints. The Shrimp episode is much better

[@thespaceofades2734]

Honestly, I prefer season 2's pacing. I just think it works better with the 10-minute length of each episode.

[@Coconut_Prrson]

@@thespaceofades2734 ehh w s2 I keep wanting more. Gwimly is a cool concept but it ends after like three minutes of screen time. Mr President and the alien episode you can tell where some scenes had to be trimmed and boy brother's egg just has way too much padding. (I have no problems with episodes 3,4,7 and 8 those have perfect pacing)

[@syloentertainment1100]

@@Coconut_Prrsonyeah tbh I’d prefer the episodes to be slightly longer, that murder mystery episode could have been so cool if it was longer

[@return4887]

@@Coconut_Prrson i completely disagree, the alien episode and mr president felt like they explored their concepts well gwimbly was rushed but the concept was so good that i didnt mind it episode 4 and more 7 felt way too fast paced constantly switching, episode 7 specifically felt really short and fast paced and that they didnt really give any time to spamtopia

It's hard to top the pilot episode "Desmond's Day Out" for me (such an oddly optimistic piece of media among adult animation), but the Gwimbly episode comes really close for me. In terms of funniest, the President Jimble episode had me laughing the most

[@coledavidson5630]

Pilot is still the best episode by a mile for me. It's flawless lol

[@RadioactvPanda]

My favorite part of Alan's Adventure was the landlords ransome note with the landlord and Alan's partner drawn in the background. Just such a random goofy gag. It was such a good episode!

[@itsyaboioiyboi5901]

Smiling friends is a difficult series to rank because I feel like each episode resonates with people in different ways. I don’t think there are many episodes that are “objectively” better. I still enjoyed your takes and opinions, great video!

The pilot in number 10 😮 people have memed the scene between Charlie and Pim where Charlie says the old guy is a lost cause in KZbin, the guy behind the fridge interacting with Allan was funny and Pims family.

I enjoyed your ranking! I think my favorite thing about smiling friends is the constant clashing of so many art styles without any acknowledgement. Your vocal issues might possibly be coming from voice training but it sounds perfectly fine imo. As long as it doesn’t hurt and you think you’re damaging your chords.

[@hannahorin]

I like seeing what people like/get from this show. It’s interesting to see what people find amusing. Side note- Your 4 least fav are at *least* in my top 5 for sure 😂

My ranking is quite different. I’d say (using simplified alternatives to the episode names) 1. Mr.Frog 2. Shrimp 3. Alan adventure 4. Desmond 5. Salty 6. Gwimbly 7. Spamtopia 8. Hell 9. Enchanted Forest 10. Snowman 11. Frowning friends 12. Brothers egg 13. Mr.President 14. Boss’ Wife 15. Aliens (everything until the abduction is absolute gold. Don’t care for the rest) 16. Brazil (I like the idea but by definition it’s purposefully a slow dry episode) 17. Halloween (just didn’t find it that entertaining, probably the least comedy in any episode)

[@CrackedPropane]

The president episode is the lowest to me, but I love the whole show it’s hard to rank because it’s so nostalgic as a newground kid.

[@Ruby-zl1sp]

I don't dislike any episode tbh I think they're all really funny and great but my list would be something like. 17. Enchanted Forest This one just wasn't that funny to me and I found Mip more annoying than anything. 16. Charlie, Pim, and Bill vs The Alien This one had really cool visuals with a great joke at the end but I feel like the entire episode before that one joke was kinda. boring. 15. Who Violently Murdered Simon S. Salty? It's fine. Just doesn't hit as well as other episodes. 14. Brother's Egg I honestly hate the brother character. He just infuriated me more than anything most of the episode. Big fan of Psychotic tho. 13. A Silly Halloween Special It's an alright episode. Gorgeous work on the forest creature too. Genuinely looks super cool. 12. Pim Finally Turns Green I mostly just love the bits of Charlie talking in this episode. Rotten was. Annoying. 11. The Smiling Friends Go To Brazil! This one is really entertaining idk. Just the entire episode being the realistic dialogue got me the first watch. 10. Shrimp's Oddysey Just a solid episode. I keep saying "how do I look, yellow man?" irl too lol 9. Charlie Dies And Doesn't Come Back Satan being a discord user who vapes is such a good bit. Also Charlie's grandma.... 8. Gwimbly: Definitive Remastered Enhanced Extended Edition DX 4k (Anniversary Director's Cut) I love how the two stories blended together this episode, even if it was just a simple meeting at the end. Gwimbly is great. 7. The Magical Red Jewel AKA Tyler Gets Fired Spamtopia is genuinely so cool. I adore it and it's design in every way. Boss being a star in this episode is great too. Overall just really good. 6. Erm, The Boss Finds Love? Love the references to internet culture (Nostalgia Critic, I Feel Fantastic) and overall just extremely funny. Probably my favorite post credits scene in the entire series too. 5. Mr. Frog Great second episode for the show. So chaotic and Mr Frog is hilariously evil. Also Glep gets to be adorable. 4. Mr. President I feel like most people I've seen mention it dislike this episode. Maybe I just laugh too easily at gross things but this episode was hilarious the entire way through fir me. Seeing President Jimble get increasingly more disgusting through the entire thing. The actor who played him nailed it. "That was my adult diaper to prevent me from having another bad accident due to the bad lamb." 3. Desmond's Big Day Out Genuinely just the perfect pilot for the show. Includes everything Smiling Friends is about and does it near perfectly. But I personally prefer a couple episodes over it. 2. Frowning Friends Grim and Gnarly are great, Mr. Boss is great, all the weirdo side characters are great. This episode just feels hilarious the entire way through. Plus it gives us some interesting looks at the weird creatures throughout town. 3D squeldon my beloved... 1. A Allan Adventure I love Allan. Funniest character in the show. That's all.
