What's The Deal With Smiling Friends?

[@aidanredding8058]

To quote a random comment I saw, what makes this show works is that it actually feels like it was written for adults and not middle schoolers like most other adult cartoons

[@sakiamira]

Ironic because middle schoolers watch adult anime they aren't allowed to watch

[@PaperLoser-gv4wb]

It’s comedy is just enjoyable to watch and the situations are so random but the characters are relatable. My fav episode is Allan’s episode because of how batshit crazy the episode was and how Allan he is

[@owene2530]

It's also very optimistic for the most part, refreshing as hell in the sea of obnoxiously nihilistic adult animation

Part of why the show works so well is that it's a real, albeit exaggerated portrayal of our world that doesn't lean too much to an "everything and everyone sucks" nor the "yay the world is wonderful place! :)" narratives as shown by Charlie and Pim. They're just two funky dudes who have jobs, try to do them best they can, and hopefully help people along the way. Because, between making the world shittier or making it a bit better, Smiling Friends tells us it's worth it to try the latter-- and I think that's an amazing message for an adult show

[@TheEpicBoricua]

my favorite thing about this show has to be the group's actual respect and love for each other, shown a lot in the season 2 finale. And just overall the real conversations they have with each other in general. It feels grounded idk lol I feel like other adult animations attempt this but never have a full episode of a real life situation ex. the last episode of season one where they're in the airport. I think the balance of real opinions and personalities in between the zaniest and wacky scenarios they're put in is just wonderful man. It really keeps you on your toes and rewatching it just gets better. This show gonna take the stoner merch throne.

[@JeremyBX]

My favorite thing about the show is how it doesnt fully rely on conventional punchlines. Literally just the characters casually acknowledging their environment pastes this smile on my face i can't explain. And the way they can get so serious & real while the animation remains whimsically unhinged is such an ironic craft

Smiling Friends works because it doesn't feel like it was written by/for edgy fourteen year olds who think spamming profanity and sex jokes and having senseless violence is the height of comedy. That's the biggest problem with a lot of "adult" comedy cartoons. Most are just trying to be Family Guy clones, only they end up being worse. I watched (read, sat through) Titan Maximum, and the only thing I can give any praise towards it is the stop-motion animation. The show is basically: what if the characters from Voltron, and other similar 70's mecha anime, were just a bunch of assholes? That's the joke. That's the only joke. There isn't any other joke. It's parody of the worst kind because it's just lazy.
