We Binged Smiling Friends... It's Unhinged

[@Fuzunga]

The Brazil episode was great because Adult Swim really promoted it as a big event and then it was 11 minutes of them arguing in an airport.

[@unforeseeable2.058]

In like an entire oneshot

[@syco579]

According to co-creator Zach Hadel, it was supposed to be an April fools episode but for some reason adult swim didn't air it in April. So I guess you could say it was literally an out of season April fools joke.

[@El_Omar2203]

​@@syco579 Pure speculation on my end but since the episode is vacation related and it was released on August, I assume Adult Swim wanted to make it seem even more like the episode was a legitimate sort of "summer special"

[@dodde.1227]

​@@El_Omar2203 They say its Mardi Gras in Brazil, so the idea is that the episode happens in mid to late february

[@AidanS99]

@@syco579And then they did the Puppet episodes for April Fools. 😂

[@gremmythoumeaux2393]

I heard this was Gilbert Gottfried’s last role he played. Can you imagine the last character you voiced was GOD HIMSELF?! What a way to go out! R.I.P. Gilbert GODfried.

[@pip5188]

This wasn’t his last role. He did a bunch after this. In fact I believe his last role was Big Mouth

[@ey3z4ya]

​@@pip5188that's unfortunate

[@nairdacnalbel]

Also I think it was done over the phone, they talked about having to work with a bad recording.

[@Fuzunga]

​@@pip5188 Well it was the last performance of his released during his lifetime.

[@godhimself1128]

he rlly did have the voice of an angel

[@Derpy_Bird427]

There was a theory that Mr. Frog wasn't canceled because He tried to swallow someone, but because he didn't actually eat them and broke the illusion of the show.

[@jamj4r]

I mean that would explain why him actually eating the evil family guy producer went over so well

[@swiggydswirl330]

The brazil episode is actually my favorite episode in the show. It's my most rewatched one too. The escalation of arguments mixed with casual and apologetic banter is so familiar to me. It's like when youre with a group of friends and someone fucks up. The entire gang starts trashing on them and they get hella defensive. Culminating in some kind of resolution albeit, an unsatisfying one. Idk, that concept is just so funny to me for an episode. Especially since airport drama is pretty common lol.

[@christopherthompson5400]

And if you look in the background in the end after this whole situation resolves with them deciding to fly back a plane can be seen crashing into the christ the redeemer statue. Guaranteeing that they'll be stuck in Brazil for at least a couple more days where they don't have anywhere to stay.

[@zachflag6506]

After spending 3 hours in the Atlanta airport last week while flying for the first time in my life, I can say that episode perfectly captured the uniquely specific l kind of hell on earth that airports can be

[@Clairevoyant101]

The moment where glep goes “Christianity was right all along, merry Christmas everyone!” He was voiced by a friend of the creators (he’s also Jewish)

[@TheNonEdibleCheese]

You mean the mass murderer Tomar? God will never forgive him for the things he's done...

[@TheDuckyDino]

Tomar voices a hand full of minor characters on the show

[@thelongestdongrod190]

He's also a psychopath

[@AnimatorsatWork]

Once he finds all the Tomar Emeralds there’s no stopping him doing the things he does

[@DerangedManiac12]

Zach making his Jewish friend say Christianity was right all along and his Puerto Rican friend say he wanted to kill all the Puerto Ricans

[@Enyoiyourself]

"I don't know how this got televised" bro has never seen Drawn Together.

[@TheFingledorf]

Are they giant babymen

[@Enyoiyourself]

@@TheFingledorf Yeah kinda.

[@ursidae97]

Oh please, drawn together wishes it was smiling friends

[@dominicscreativefilms]

@@ursidae97 Smiling Friends is a much better show, but Drawn Together is definitely way more inappropriate.

[@Kinsley_XD]

God drawn together fucking sucks

[@ShebbyYT]

Watching someone's very first Zach Hadel experience is like watching a kids first christmas

[@Quzga]

Pure joy

[@orbboom6119]

Man they should watch oneyplays compilations, theyre just as good as the show lol

[@Sommion]

They should watch Hellbender too lol

[@alesbianhotmess]

😂

[@Matt-uc8dd]

As someone who was not exposed to their works until this show I had one of the best times ever watching this show for the first time

[@theotherbonjovi6259]

It's always funny seeing people react to Smiling Friends and being able to tell who grew up watching Newgrounds animations.

[@Laxhoop]

31:37 The joke of this line is that the man voicing Glip in this scene is the creator’s Jewish friend. They literally made a Jewish man say that Christianity was right all along.

[@Bajeeebus]

“Tomar, how would you feel if you died and went to hell for real?” “Like the Christian hell?” “Like you were chopping wood in a forest, your favourite pastime, the tree fell on you and you ended up in the actual Christian H E double hockey sticks, with the iconic fire demons and everything.” “I’d be very upset Zach.”

[@Baldwin-iv445]

That's fucking incredible.

[@AlmightySmorg]

This is probably the most dumbfounded they have ever been while watching a show

[@SpiralSine6]

I’ve never seen the internet more accurately distilled into a tv show. As much as I want season 2 to come, it’s kind of perfect as it is.

[@space_1073]

Based off what we have seen of season 2 I'm pretty confident it'll be just as good if not better!

[@shadycactus7896]

Season 2 is great so far

[@diggydiggydwarf34]

Season 2 is so funny dude I didn't even notice i was in s2 until i paused it

[@prestonthebeston1735]

GOOD NEWS

[@MrDevintcoleman]

That shrimp MUST be David Firth. It sounds exactly like one of his voices. (The Salad Fingers guy, for those who don’t know)

[@Diego5151999]

It is David Firth

[@citrusblast4372]

You know its him dont pretend

[@MrDevintcoleman]

@@citrusblast4372yeah, I looked it up right after I commented this and got confirmation.

[@marchmacabre]

Yep they told him to do the Jerry Jackson voice

[@Zer0L3SS]

The thing about the brazil special was that they hyped it up as a big smiling friends adventure in brazil but then they’re in the airport the entire episode!

[@FallenA1]

I love how many KZbinrs are apart of the show. It’s one of the best adult shows we’ve ever gotten. My favorite role was David Firth (creator and voice actor of Salad Fingers) voiced Shrimp.

[@sahin1645]

I love smiling friends, a breath of fresh air in Adult Animation 😁

[@CaptainSpycrab]

If I remember correctly, 'Smiling Friends Go to Brazil' originally aired on April 1st, which explains basically everything about its general way of being.

[@Shanks9001_]

This has gotta be the funniest show in existence. Love seeing reactions to it

[@AmberyTear]

11:48 We had to pause because we couldn't stop laughing for good 5 minutes. We laughed so hard we started crying. :'D What a bloody legend of an episode.

[@bladeanimeking955]

How do i look Yellow Man? 🦐

[@PharaohofAtlantis]

Smiling Friends gives me the most "what" reaction of anything I have seen. I genuinely can't tell if I hate it or love it. Both, probably.

[@Kunaigirl]

I love Smiling Friends so much lmao I'm glad you guys watched it! I can't wait for the next season!

[@liammccoin9598]

do we know when that is gonna be?

[@kieranraynor6405]

Ive never noticed how much mr frog sounds like noel fielding omg

[@floor413]

I would love to get Moral Orel someday.

[@leafblade3T9]

The Renaissance men bit in the beginning was actually the actors just talking

[@djtaitai]

Ruff after anything remotely shocking: 😮😯😲😨😱😵🤯

[@HeraclesN-fp1bw]

Pim, Alan, & others is voiced by Michael Cusack an animator, writer, voice actor who worked on series like Koala Man (which he also voices Kevin aka Koala Man & others), Mammon (Helluva Boss), YOLO, Bushworld Adventures (Rick & Morty parody), & many more

[@curtoonstudios3809]

Fun fact: Shrip was played by the guy who created "Salad Fingers"

[@mx9226]

This is what happens when you give KZbinrs a chance to make a show. And it’s actually funny. You guys need to watch Blue Eye Samurai. Yes, censoring is gonna be a nightmare, but I promise it is so worth it.

[@cshimp10]

I think my absolute favorite and iconic tidbit I learned from the show; During Pim's daydream about Jennifer, the guy singing is the same guy who sang the Pokemon theme song.

[@vsGoliath96]

I keep forgetting that Desmond was voiced by Internet legend Mike Stoklasa. Famous for his role as the blacksmith in the pilot episode of Tigtone and definitely nothing else.

[@just4_star]

The amount of expression this show gives off for people to watch, makes it funnier when their reaction is on full display

[@CadoonTube]

I enjoyed the reaction, so don't get me wrong, but this channel is almost the exact essence of Zach's parodies of internet content makers lmao. His toes would crinkle with glee at each beautiful soyface in this video, just like mine did.

[@Mylesledragon]

LOL I WAS THINKING THE SAME THING THROUGHOUT IT ALL HELP

[@Joker_Kirby]

Rare footage of H-Man and Bree in the same reaction video

[@shanelogan630]

Lmfao god this show is legendary. I hope they make a second season

[@bebop_557]

Say what you will about Shrimp, but he actually broke the ice first with the girl and got in there. He definitely has some rizz.

[@Pe4nutButter]

Its actually funny with all the weird crazy things youve seen, and the last episode is so normal it makes you say "that was weird"

[@hex.mothrem]

i really hope y’all watch season 2

[@timbomb374]

As an Australian myself, to me it really sounds like pim's dad says "14 hours" but everyone seems to think its 40 or 48

[@Sp00py298]

There’s something magical about a scene like it just cutting to the boss at his desk probably playing Cs or warzone or some shit where it’s so forgettable that every time i remember it I still laugh like it’s the first time I’ve seen it randomly cut to that

[@lailarainslays]

13:14 That joke in the show aged sooo badly oh my god😦 The voice actress for Jennifer, Erica Lindbeck, took a hiatus from voice acting two years ago because her boyfriend, Billy Kametz, died of colon cancer

[@THE1ANDONLYCUBIX]

Jesus

[@captainteeko4579]

Michael Cusack who plays Pim is also the voice of Greed in Helluva Boss :) I remember watching a lot of his and Zach Hadel’s gaming channel back in the day 😂 Mr shrimp is played by the guy that voices and created salad fingers :)

[@jondoe8350]

A theory of why Mr frog was cancelled was because he didn’t actually eat the reporter like in the show

[@mrthatguyx]

If you guys like this show, I would highly recommend Mike Tyson Mysteries! It was also a absolutely hilarious Adult Swim show.

[@jupitergaming5146]

It’s always funny watching people react to smiling friends not knowing who Zach is

[@knaodh1335]

27:59 “it’s giving..ick” I laughed so hard 😂

[@rpgrage7711]

This show creeped me the hell out but it's really good also THE IGOR REFERENCE LOL

[@RyannEpic]

I LOVE SMILING FRIENDS it reminds me of the good times in old country

[@abiruca]

I cant wait for y'all to watch season 2 AHHHH

[@jupitergaming5146]

What’s even funnier about the last joke with “and Christianity was right all along” is that character was voice acted by on of the show creators friends who is Jewish

[@ScorpionStrike7]

The fact that Gilbert Godfried’d last role was being the voice of God 😄

[@Yuki_Ika7]

Sad and kinda ironic

[@captainbirch2.079]

He plays him and then he meets him

Getting our Greatest State referenced with the gun is amazing... Because yea, that is 1000% Florida

This show was just what I needed honestly 😂😂 the horror episode took me tf out Too good. Straight out of the og youtube days and adult swim.

[@omgitsdp4581]

Never thought I would see H-man and Bree in the same video!

ikr. i love it lol

[@ShadeTavish]

4:49 dude I never fucking caught that like frame of Pim kissing Desmond on the cheek

[@ARTBACKSTEAKHOUSE]

As someone named Billy this is activating my fight or flight lmao

[@TheNonEdibleCheese]

Desmond is voiced by Mike from RedLetterMedia, who also voices Mr. Plinkett in their Star Wars retrospectives.

[@HellfireComms]

Smiling Friends is so inane it wraps back around and becomes genius. Zach and Micheal did a great job with the first season.

[@BROXBasher]

Mip and the Princess is based from the Bjork Stalker.

U guys couldn't comprehend this show, wait till you watch "Yolo: crystal fantasy" by the same creator.

[@kuramamastah5270]

Zach and Michael did the impossible, bring internet humour towards TV and they rolled a literal 20. As someone who grew seeing this two newgrounds dudes creating cursed stuff, i nust say this first season is so painfully funny it makes you wonder about what really happened during that Brail trip

"is this a youtube video" lmao it was made by old youtube/newgrounds animators so basically yea

The Brazil episode is so uncanny cause it genuinely feels like a conversation among friends not a script

we actually do hold gun shows at the south florida fair

[@stinky8812]

the poor neck beard guy was so uncomfortable the whole time i felt bad for him

[@cyonated2095]

fun fact the finale was supposed to air around april fools but due to scheduling problems it had to be moved. so ur right its basically a troll episode

[@HellfireComms]

I love how Pim's flashback has a big Bicentennial Man reference at the end where they're both dying together.

[@LucyInNightmares1]

If you like Smiling friends you should watch Koala Man or YOLO

[@Dalton_Boardman2000]

I'm a big Adventure Time fan and the comparison to this episode isn't without it's merits. Especially since the fantasy land isn't restricted to just mythical stuff and has a some scifi elements like aliens mixed in. Adventure Time's series finale also showed off a future grey alien princess.

[@alexanderdelrisco1257]

By the way you guys. I don’t know if you guys are familiar with the KZbin channel RedLetterMedia but the voice actor for Desmond the guy holding the gun to his head is the founder of RedLetterMedia Mike Stoklasa. And he makes a brief appearance in the Christmas episode alongside The Angry Video Game Nerd himself James Rolfe. It makes sense because the creators of Smiling Friends themselves began their careers making animated KZbin videos on the internet.

[@omni-galachu9684]

Sometimes I wonder which shows felt more drug inducing Smiling Friends or Pickle & Peanut.
