I think the smiling woman shorts would be at least a little scarier if they were completely silent. It’s way eerier if their is no soundtrack telling you to be intimidated

[@mr.wiggles7135]

They really could’ve expanded on this story, like they could’ve touched on what exactly the smiling woman is, how the public reacts to it, and maybe people actually trying to fight back against the women. Ngl smiling women shorts had some potential

[@Archon_of_Freedom_]

This series should be called, "The yellow, lesbian, foot fetish succubi strikes again." Edit - I really feel when they do that weird walk, the director thought it looked demonically possessed and freaky. I believe that's why. But it honestly just looked funny 😂😂

That playlist with 9 Smiling Woman videos hints at some secret extra one that we didn't get to watch.

[@gonzo26nix]

writer: "this is a pivotal scene.. when I wrote it, it's where the creature is simply hinted at as the tension begins to rise" director: "uh-huh.. ya.. sure.. sooooo.. we're just going to instantly show the 'monster' and skip the tension. But, we still need to scare people.. how can we do that?" sound guy: "well.. I got this sh***y music on a loop that screeches.. we just play that at 186% volume." director: "perfect!!!"

[@reagan13579]

Weird ask, but if it isnt too much trouble, I'd really appreciate it if you upload 10-30 minute long video of the end card music/animation. My one year old calms down and just stares at the duck waddle animation and music when it comes on, no matter how much he was fussing before. Its almost uncanny, but for some reason it really calms him down and I'd love to have a longer version for my own sanity. - From a very tired mother who loves your videos!

[@elvinwisp]

I also would like this, but only because I really like birds and the outro is perfection! :D

[@loatherd]

Since your comment sounded genuine I looked for the best way to actually get through to him would be through patreon as your comment would be within a few dozen instead of hundreds to thousands. Alternatively if you have a laptop you could use bandicam to record the outro and copy paste the video in editor.

[@reagan13579]

@@loatherd thank you for the suggestions! And it is genuine, my little boy is getting more energetic by the day which is great for his development but horrible for trying to calm him down when he inevitably gets overstimulated.

[@Komaru85]

This is obviously a metaphor for r@p3. It's always a woman alone in a vulnerable situation at places where SAs and stuff "typically" happen. Coupled with the stereotype of men telling women to smile more. And yeah, it's also about feet.

[@tropezando]

Why the yellow, do you think?

[@yourshoulderdevil5229]

​@@tropezandoprobably because yellow is meant to represent happiness, so it's to show they all have this "disguise" of joy in a way that's similar to the smile.

[@yourshoulderdevil5229]

I think they also made the last victim into the new smiling woman because of the "hurt people hurt people" idea. They just didn't do it very well.

[@fnfethusiast6508]

I bet she was given a note that only read “smile”. I bet her mouth hurts after the entire film

[@LunarLocust]

Not as much as her mouth hurt getting the acting gig 😮

[@CJTheIndividual]

What’s crazy about the 6th smiling woman video is that the woman who played her was in a famous horror movie from the 80s

[@nykole1963]

My immediate thought when someone said to cut the dress was "I know how to defeat the curse. Get someone fat like me to get snatched and we'll rip the dress." Perfect!

[@scootymcfloof]

So like, is there a yellow dress cult somewhere and these smiling ladies are just recruiting more women so they can throw a feet lover convention?

[@Enjoymentboy]

Oddly enough August looks exaclty as he sounds. One of those rare times where the voice matches the face.

[@fillyjonk42]

At first it seemed like each smiling woman disappeared the moment a new victim was claimed, suggesting a single chain curse like in 'It Follows', but in the last short we have three smiling women at the end? If each one is then seeking out new victims America would be overrun with grimacing yellow clad women in a week.

[@t.mendous7922]

Did he miss the fact that the smiling woman list had nine videos? Then I saw the horror of another video titled smiling man. I can’t imagine how that would go

[@Skye_Blue]

I like to imagine all of these happened in the exact same night. Like this one town is trapped in some kind of space where time does not exist, and this one dress is keeping everyone trapped but no one knows.

[@meloettathehedgehog6927]

What’s better than a horror short? A horror short that has a plot and lore that makes sense as to who this character is and why she’s doing what she is doing. Even Crypt TV can do a better horror short with a plot and lore in a single episode. Okay, from what I could tell from the shorts: This woman in the yellow dress is a ghost or demon of some kind, and she targets specifically women who are alone. She attacks them and forces them to smile, allowing them to get possessed by her. She can only communicate through texts and maybe the weird movements are to indicate that her body was possibly mangled if she was alive at some point, maybe using texts cause it was linked to how she died? Possibly from being distracted by her phone and she got run over or fell off a cliff. As for the reason, maybe she’s not ready to move on and possesses others to keep living? Maybe she’s an allegory for a predator and these shorts are a message to viewers not to respond to unknown numbers? Again, that’s what I can deduct from the lack of lore and plot so yeah.

[@naughtykid000]

they could've made the victims been "infected" and each ep have either multiple or different people with different ways of going about things

[@haveheart2630]

Foot fetishes occur due to the part of the brain called the somatosensory cortex, which is the area that makes "you feel things." Apparently, this part of the brain is right next to the part of the brain that control your feet and toes. He explains, "It's so easy for these wires to get crossed because they're literally bumping up against each other. That's why foot fetishes are the most common fetishes in the world."
