what do you guys think about this

>>56172 >Smiling Friends is heading down the same path as Rick and Morty I mean it's possible, but the problem with the comparison is that Leddit & Memey is basically an animated version of The Big Bazinga Theory. Cannot vouch for everyone else, but I didn't even know about it until you had retards going nuts about the McDonald's sauce. That's not to mention that R&M are guilty of the same problem of almost EVERY adult animation series, in that it tries so hard to be a "smart" animated sitcom and is all the worse for it. The entire Fox animation line does this, too. None of that is present in Smiling Friends, from what I have watched. And while the guy tries to dismiss such as a complaint as that "never" being the point of the show, he also ignores that what got the show off the ground was it's original pilot being a parody of BotF. So, no, it was "never" that deep of a premise and always relied on being referential. And trying to cast it as such, feels like the guy being in denial. And it's not the only series guilty of this. You have guys trying to defend KotH, when it does the same thing as the earlier Jeff Foxworthy Show and the later Last Man Standing. Also, the thing he's complaining about, that people want to be seen as smart based on the media they consumer, has been around for centuries. Star Wars was often ridiculed as being "low brow" compared to "smart sci-fi" series like Star Trek. Many film snobs will ridicule you for not watching "smart movies" like Midnight Cowboy and Citizen Kane. the English constantly ridiculed Americans because we preferred paper dime-novels over their autistic hardbacks. You see it with art, music, intelligencia, and so on. It's nothing new. Lastly, his example of Beavis and Butthead is a little funny when I have absolutely ZERO desire to watch that series, but I'll be right there and waiting to watch dumb stupid movies like Airheads, Wayne's World, and Bill & Ted (The first one).

>>56172 Summary, He's basically saying the masses of normalfag midwits that want to feel smart and satisfy their egos can ruin a work and alienate a lot of people who would otherwise be interested by overanalyzing something straight forward, especially if the writers start catering to them. I notice he doesn't once mention Dan Harmon being a alcoholic who's best work is behind him and is likely a major reason for repeated season delays that basically hired multiple female writers after season two to deflect sexual harassment allegations and kinda hypocritically threw Roiland under a bus when he also had sexual harassment allegations. Yeah, the "You Have to Have a High IQ to Understand Rick and Morty" crowd played a major part in Rick and Morty's seasonal rot, but he ignores the behind the scenes stuff that also played a huge role. Maybe something will happen later, but Zach Hadel and Michael Cusack really don't seem like type for Smiling Friends to go down a similar path or pander like that. The first couple seasons of Rick and Morty are still decent, so even if smiling friends does go downhill we'll still at least have the first season or two before that happens. Also I didn't know EmpLemon had a second channel. I watched the video uploaded before that one out of curiosity ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mqP5B-kS85U ) and while I agree that modern society exaggerates how bad preindustrial people's lives were, that entire video has an obvious noble savage bias and he dismisses primitive tribal people being violent when we have plenty of archeological, historical, and anecdotal evidence for things like human sacrifice and warfare across the world from tribal hunter gatherer and preindustrial cultures. Not the first time EmpLemon kinda has a bad take I can't fully agree with or dismisses or just doesn't mention contrary evidence to what he's saying.

>>56177 >>56181 I think Smiling Friends is immune from Rick and Morty syndrome mainly because Zach Hadel has said that the show will end when it stops being fun to make, also I don’t think we’ll have a Smiling Friends Szechuan sauce incident from creators that explicitly said that they’d say no to Smiling Friends Funko Pops.

>>56181 >Not the first time EmpLemon kinda has a bad take I can't fully agree with or dismisses or just doesn't mention contrary evidence to what he's saying. You have to grasp that even though EmpLemon will hang around Sam Hyde, he still has default ShitLib OS operating in his brain, so he's not quite ready for crossing the fence entirely.

>>56575 Great song for the trailer, what's it called?

>>56575 HEY ZACH!!!

>>56579 >>56583 holy shit zack was playing 4d chess all along

>>57798 What's with the OC inserted into the clips?

>>57799 She's called "Dolly Dimpley" It's very likely one of the creators on the show. There's another channel that does the same thing, but Zach and Cusack are definitely in on it.

>>57802 I ashamedly love the Cool Autistic Gamer 774 stuff even if it did undoubtedly reveal itself as an inside job with the most recent clips. It's like watching an alternate cut of the entire series with a whole new character. >>56575 Here's an alternate version of the Season 3 trailer that I'm only sharing because it popped up on the Adult Swim livestream in between episodes and I actually really dig the song (All My Heroes are Weirdos by (!!! Chk Chk Chk)). Apparently the original one had its audio muted and then this one was put out as an alternate, but also the Adult Swim Europe channel still has the original with HL&TN anyway.

>>57805 >>57799 >>57798 They're just mocking DeviantArt and Tumblr tier autism relentlessly with tons of others doing the same, it's amazing. >>58163 OMG YAAS SO VALID!!!!

>>57798 Her design seems a little... inspired.

Just binged all of Season 3 the other day and the Halloween episode unironically has some of the best animation I've seen in years.

>>58252 I am okay with this.

>>58252 have the raw gifs without the background

Who is Dolly? Cool autistic gamer?

>>58329 My waifu, obviously.

>>58335 >>58334 >>58328 >>58252 Are these from "official" as in the guy behind the dolly channel made them?

>>58336 I highly doubt it, but if it's true then that means wyreframeZ has been behind Dolly the whole time.

Apparently this was posted to the official Adult Swim Instagram account back on Halloween. >>58336 I don't know but it's shockingly accurate to her appearance in videos. Maybe the creator released the model online?

>>58329 Cool Autistic Gamer might be this guy according to the wiki: https://www.youtube.com/@weamers The voices sound kinda similar. https://smilingfriends.fandom.com/wiki/Self-inserts_in_the_Smiling_Friends_fandom#Identity

>>58400 They're certainly planning something. TV movie?

You guys NEED to watch this

>>58405 I fucking loved this episode, Charlie actually does his job and everybody ends up just sort of getting along in the end after sorting out their differences. And the workout montage was fantastic.
