I'm happy to see smiling friends get a chance because the depressed man in the pilot was voiced by Mike Stoklasa, one of the people behind RedLetterMedia.

Holy shit, I’m so happy for this. Zach was always my favorite of the Newgrounds’ animators and the pilot felt like a love letter to that style of humor, for better and worse.
Now, for the love of God, Zach, see this for the blessing that it is and don’t do anything stupid.

Show premiered last night.
As did its entire season apparently as Adult Swim aired all seven episodes of season 1

The first episode was just okay, definitely not as good as the pilot.

I love that Zach included all his dumb humor in this. The frog episode was a bit weak, but I liked the Shrimp one

I this is genuinely one of the few Adult Swim shows I legitimately like. It has stupid humor and is adult in content, but it's the kind of humor I like since I like Zach's nonsense on OneyPlays and am familiar with his type of format.
Not every episode is great; I believe "Enchanted Forest" is way too cute with the meta humor by having a Frodo expy that's literally ripped off from the Rankin-Bass Hobbit movie as well as Pim becoming Gollum, but I think "Who Brutally Murdered Simon P. Salty?" and "Charlie Dies and Doesn't Come Back" are highlight episodes out of those that anyone hasn't truly watched. My favorite of the batch, however, is "Shrimp's Odyssey".

Show’s been renewed for a Season Two. No confirmed date for it yet. Zach said that the entire season 1 budget was that of a single episode of Family Guy. I hope that adult swim increases the budget like crazy.

This is excellent news, and a sign that they have a lot of confidence in this series. Show’s been renewed for a Season Two. No confirmed date for it yet. Zach said that the entire season 1 budget was that of a single episode of Family Guy. I hope that adult swim increases the budget like crazy. It may sound like hyperbole, but a lot of Family Guy's content seems to come from rights management (getting clearance from IPs or music they use for random jokes) and useless CGI bullshit, while the rest of the animation is crap. Meanwhile, the crew of Smiling Friends have had experience making stuff on a small budget from their freelance days. I can believe it.

I hope that adult swim increases the budget like crazy. so it would cover like TWO episodes of family guy? only up to ep6 but this is really great stuff, funny and sad, poignant and terrifying and wacked out of it's little mind! already so many different story styles out of "make people smile" oh almost forgot hellooo

I've watched the entire season like three times on HBO Max. It's really good and I can't wait for season 2.

To give a bit more insight, the show demolished the demos and did STRONG numbers for almost an entire hour, even after more episodes were shadow dropped
Adult Swim has not had an original blow up like this since Rick and Morty, I have a feeling it's gonna get much more than a season 2.
