Smiling Friends Background Gags (Gwimbly Edition)

[@slugkat]

0:19 I like how he’s just pixelated from a far distance😭

[@bennycaustic5102]

Yeah, just like it would be in a PS1 game, the attention to detail is insane.

[@h0lly_blue]

it's the man from the hit movie "The Man"

[@gregoryiguess]

i thought he was naked or smth so it got blurred

[@fatyoshi1456]

Gotta save that performance

[@The_Official_You2]

1:29 this is a nice detail, you can see the cracks and marks from where the doorway was broken in the bricks here

[@SomeRaando]

0:33 Glep's little "Uh huh" is so good

[@TheQuaadFather]

I just love that he carved a little version of himself

[@thekingsome8573]

i like how 1:35 has the characters within the game just run out the onscreen, nice detail i didn’t realize until now

[@upsidedownbagofflour697]

Even the in-game Mr. Boss

definitely my favorite background gag lmao

[@Ilikecereal]

1:45 bro broke his monitor over solitare

[@MrLocurito]

to be honest, that game is kinda frustrating

[@QuadratusTiberium]

I read this as Solaire

[@GordoBondiola2002]

Thats like the guy that slammed his keyboard against his monitor and instantly regreted it "Oh! Look what i did" And then he showed his walls with a lot of punch holes

He's so talented ❤

[@mortlmusic8948]

He's so proud of his carving and honestly so am I

[@DPedroBoh]

Oh of course, That planet named after the popular videogame console, Sega Saturn.🤣

[@Owlero]

I feel like it very well could have been the moon or mars or something else. Saturn feels like a reference since Gwimbly himself looks like he could be in a Saturn game. It's the equivalent of having graffiti of a cube shaped N in the background.

[@XrandommonX]

​@Owlero That's kind of a stretch

[@foehammer5047]

Lol definitely not. The Smiling Friends universe has been depicted many times as having random planets in the sky *snort* a real fan would know this *smiles in a cool way*

[@gerardol3449]

​@@Owlerowait so you genuinely believe it's a reference to the sega saturn and ur not joking So you also believe the random witch sculpture is a reference to grunty

[@Owlero]

@@gerardol3449 In reality, it probably isn't. Saturn's already been used in the background of previous episodes. At the very least its a funny coincidence. Same with the witch, since Gwimbly is no doubt inspired by Banjo-Kazooie/N64 era Rare games.

[@Ihasnotomato]

I appreciate that your own edits and observations become just as unhinged as the show itself as it goes on

[@ViolentRainbow]

I love how at the end Glep showed genuine concern for the boss and looked like he was actually going to try and help him instead of just running away lol

[@jeremyusreevu237]

One of the most clever aspects of this episode is how the CEO telling Troglor to not shoot inside at first just seems like another funny random Smiling Friends joke. But then in the end of the episode, that one off joke has a payoff, when Troglor doesn't shoot, because they're inside the building, and the CEO told him to not shoot inside. That's a genuinely great example of setoff and payoff. God I love this show!

[@someguycp]

common Jeremy W

[@ClownHoundII]

Best part is that since it's gun related it's a pun on Chekhov's gun.

[@cosmicdunsparce]

1:28 I like how you can see the new bricks are in a lighter shade after the wall is repaired.

In the opening scene where Pim and Charlie are talking, they walk past a bike wheel locked to a bike rack. Meaning a thief stole the rest of the bike. Also at the start, Gwimbly's cameo is for someone named James, which we later learn in the post-credits scene is the name of the guy who ripped Charlie's nose off.

It's foreshadowing for the whole season it looks like, or at least some of it, the UFO guys from the trailer are there too.

[@GrimReaver]

Gruntilda as a member of the Akastuki is more terrifying than I care to admit. Hell her in Naruto in general would be scary to think about.

[@LorAmycus]

I love how Smiling Friends ALWAYS has something going on even in the background, too teir comedy

[@MUSQUIZanimation]

I’ve binged all of “The Little Norp that could”, I highly recommend it. Great show.

[@unlimitedpower3157]

The horribly clogged toilet in James' apartment always cracks me up. Dude acts all big and bad, yet comes home and shits on the floor.

Can’t wait for Sonic R to be in Smiling Friends

[@micahrobbins8353]

But did you see the game cube? (regular cube)

[@BlokHeadAnim]

I love how the "thank you for watching" thing is just marked as "?" on Netflix, like literally nobody in universe even knows what it is

[@ETB3341]

tbh i never really knew what it was about most of the time. but i liked it a lot. my favourite episode of it was definitely episode #‰⋅Δ≅≅, when he did a spin during the peak of the episode, and even had a heartfelt "thank you for watching :-)" at the end. underrated show imo.

[@jackysbin3860]

I loved the first background gag idk why was just watching the guy walk at a constant pace and then saw the black thing lmao

[@TheQuaadFather]

"What's the green thing do?" "Well he- .. actually, idk, that's a good question."

[@NotKofikumbling]

Its funny that while Mr.boss has his mind taken over by his primal instincts Allen pushes Glep who is on the table TOWARDS Mr.boss like Glep is the solution to this.

[@dimosguy]

0:23 So this is basically possible episodes of Smiling friends season 2. The UFO sighting was already teased

[@FeebleCatSoup]

Some were references to first season episodes, too.

[@Cubeytheawesome]

You can also see Jimble being referenced. Also I heard a rumor that the Spamtopia thing is also gonna be an episode.

[@dylansansom3755]

After the CEO destroys the door, you can see the replaced bricks that are lightly off colored.

[@skylertham6431]

0:26 ngl knowing that one video of a season 2 sneak peak that was shown at NYCC there that shows what probably be the guys in that "ufo sightings" show, i have a BIG feeling some of these made up shows might hint at future episodes of this season

[@TheHortoman]

Yes i think maybe the mysterios spamtopia one has potential, since the forest and salty ones are from older episodes and "?" Is just the show pim wanted charlie to watch (hello thank you for watching hello thank you for watching hello thank you for watching)

[@the_eek2600]

​@@TheHortoman plus the jimble one is a reference to episode 2 of season 2 with President jimble! Glad seeing someone talking about this hehe

Ah man, so good to see "Cool Sphere (Interesting)" getting some love. Hope it gets renewed for a second season.

[@LatkaXtreme]

When they arrive at the gamedev studio HQ and Gwimbly watches a gameplay of himself you can see Mouse Quest in one of the monitors in the background.

[@partytranimal6293]

0:22 the UFO movie is from a Comic-Con sneak peek of a future episode. Safe to say most are teasers/hints for the season

[@lasagna3289]

President Jimble, the UFO watching group, and Spamtopia were all foreshadowed at 0:24! Neat!

[@koocherry793]

The planet in the sky appears in other episodes. Its like how spongebob has flowers in the sky, smiling friends has wierd planets and shapes

[@roachdoggjr6893]

the ufo sightings show is actually a hint to one of the future eps, smiling friends continuity is crazy

[@Nikita_1402]

i like how the first episode somewhat predicted the future episodes for season 2

For anyone curious, the Gruntilda Naruto art is by an artist called ZerJer97.

[@thedespairpuppet]

Glep carving a little Glep is fuckin awesome

[@bobrianfo104]

The titles at 0:27 could be previews of other season 2 episodes since we already know there's gonna be an UFO themed episode

The thing I still don't get is during the Halloween episode the office is right across from the woods Pim goes into, but here there's a bunch of shops

and also the alien episode

0:28 “the mysterious spamtopia” reference to the latest episode, s2 ep 7
