Smiling Friends - I Keep Showing Charlie's Front View and then he Dies

idk
i've watched my own video several times as of this march 29th, the year of our Lord 2022. And I think it could've been edited better tbh

[@MKLettis]

Front facing Charlie has such a raw and powerful aura to him.

[@chitae8551]

He reminds me of jim for some reason

[@KohlTah]

Almost as strong as front-facing Phineas

[@romalea]

so true jyushimatsu matsuno from the hit anime osomatsu-san

[@Light-ro5bp]

A classic and iconic aura so to speak.

[@phineasfacingforward3460]

It is an incredible power

[@Ponsy_J]

I love the pauses while the audio is still playing.

[@ll-bz8re]

It elevates the whole fucking video

[@phoenix-rv4vw]

[@cosmologicl]

it's so fuckin good especially at the end where he slowly explodes

[@Zund0]

its a christmas miracle

[@primitivechef8009]

@@Zund0 what if you woke up on christmas morning with your cup of cocoa in hand and you saw a display of blood and organs littered on your tree with a sticky note saying "its a Christmas Miracle

[@oddysee3030]

The three frames of Charlie rocketing into the earth are fucking incredible, thank you for that

[@arandompasserby7940]

I'm honestly a little sad he wasn't introduced that way. Five seconds of Charlie facing the front before he spends the rest of the show facing sideways. It would've been great.

[@imallsoupedup]

@@arandompasserby7940 Yeah, that could have been really funny

bro really said “A”

[@ianfinrir8724]

Has a very Ren and Stimpy quality to it.

[@SpookytheBandit]

Something about the repeated, abrupt pausing, paired with the weirdness of his front facing face is a lot funnier than it should be. You've uncovered some kind of powerful secret that was not meant to be known by human minds.

Yuh

[@soniczth8534]

You think the reason he was hired was because he looks like a smile on the front.

[@TravisBroski]

You know… that’s such a detail I think they didn’t intend, but I’m gonna pretend it was totally planned.

[@rotundmonibuv5103]

@@TravisBroski Feels too obvious to be unintentional

[@urphakeandgey6308]

I'm no cartoonist, but it'd be very neat character design if this was intentional.

No i dont think its intentional

[@johnw1954]

I love that glip is staring at the ground so he doesn't notice the Charlie missile until he's hit by it

[@ohianaw]

the fact they add a double chin to his side view makes me die everytime. it looks so funny

[@ProfessorHeavy1]

0:18 I love how they linger for an uncomfortably long time on that expression that Charlie has, the weird open mouth squint that doesn’t change even when the angle does.

[@PotatoPatatoVonSpudsworth]

0:21 Ok can we take a moment to appreciate Charley's face here?

i believe the main reason charlie was hired is cause when he's facing forward his nose looks like a smile

[@despawn7663]

I am amazing at how the community has come together and truly embrace the smiling friends with a near-constant stream of memes and videos. The best part is that many of the vids are from last year.... the seeds were sowed early on for this show's sucess.

[@user-lr8ow2jg4e]

now watch everyone in like a month will be hating on the show for being "overhyped" and complain that the occasional animation change has been "done before".

the last bit where it looks like its lagging is so fucking funny

0:20 My favorite Charlie face.

[@JeremyFinch42]

I swear they had so much fun making frontward facing frames that it seems like they try to do it as often as possible.

[@frogginet5353]

This video was: ✅Helpful ✅Informative ✅Inspiring ✅Life-changing

[@solsticeequinox8688]

No wonder James couldn’t focus.

[@Prozach24]

i'm certain zach designed this character expressly for offputting front facing camera angles

[@HellishSpoon]

I love how sudden and slightly creepy it is that he is just staring right at the camera

[@d-dubztoons6333]

0:59 holy. Fucking. Shit. What is that creature

Charlie going godspeed as he fell from heaven.

The fact that in the first of april episode he gets his nose torn off makes this video even more funny

0:19 was my fav as well as the glitchy end 😂😂

it always catches me off guard when everything stops and he just stairs at you

[@cornbreadHD]

it's a christmas miracle! :D

[@Sonic-fk6uz]

A reminder that predators tend to have eyes facing to the front, for locating and following prey as it tries to evade capture. You know where this is going...

uh i actually do not know where this is going

[@Awesomewithaz]

The fact that you play some of the scene for context gives each scene a sense of tension, and little bit of dread.

[@Waytotheland]

There’s a reason certain cartoon characters are always shown from an angle, never really the front. Some designs just don’t work from the front.

[@tom-calancy]

Love how it all just breaks in the end

[@POTATOSOOPS]

"and then he dies" *literally shows him coming back to life*

[@quinndelik470]

Each time he's front facing, it's like he's just shooting daggers into the view. Especially when it does a hard zoom.

[@StriderStryker]

0:27 That was perfect.

[@Vsjdjdbajsnehevsjalfkghshakakd]

The quick one second zoom-ins make this hilarious to me for some reason

[@sleepdeprivedvcr]

I think the way this is edited is the best thing about it. Just the freeze frame of the face while the audio still continues gives it such a ominous but funny aura, like a horror film almost.

[@crazisaturn2274]

Someone should make video where every time Charlie faces forward, there is a vine boom sound effect.

[@kaxcommentssomethingREAL]

0:02 fucking hilarious

Slowing down the explosion made me realize how far to the left Charlie aimed for.

[@lesliedawn1520]

Very much phineas vibes

[@owenleal]

What I like is that front facing Charlie looks like a smiley face. He really was born for the job.

[@minky2k]

He’s like jerma, it just looks unnatural when he’s front faced
