Weirdly wholesome how, out of all the deaths that happened in this show, none of them was the suicidal guy who literally had a gun to his temple for a whole afternoon
personally i feel like the guy really really didn't want to kill himself. imo he seemed really hesitant. he warned them several times and kept giving them more chances.
You know... I thought Charlie was being sarcastic when he said he'd bury the Egg in China... But God damn. He meant it. That's a good Smiling Friend right there.
It's nice to *finally* have an adult animated comedy where not every character is an apathetic asshole who is constantly at everyone's throats, or a single character trait blown to an extreme level.
@@cooldud7071 a ton of water falling on you from the top of the empire state building would kill you. You can bet someone would get crushed to death under a thousand gold coins
OH MY GOD I DIDNT REALISE WHEN THE PEOPLE TORE APART THE DEMON AND ATE HIM ZACH LITERALLY DID THE BIT HE THOUGHT OF “imagine a bunch of kids tore apart a monkey and ate it at the dinner table”.
Yeah I I’m not the only person who thought of that right now, so I guess it was inspired by the Monkey eating bit. But actually seeing it animated is another thing entirely…
I love how normal all the character’s interactions are in regards to their rather hectic and bizarre antics. Like how Charlie isn’t really bothered by the strangeness of his world despite being the “straight man” archetype. Brilliant writing, I would love for more seasons.
@@ItsRyanHello yeah, he's supposed to be a bassline for the goofy wacky characters. But in zachs world the characters are the straight men and the world is the goofy fucked up character
@@ItsRyanHello “Straight man” archetype as in he doesn’t have any weird quirks or fantastical character traits. He’s just a guy despite the inherent “wackiness” of his surroundings.
1:11 This is honestly the most underrated joke for me. Pim going from "dehydrated gollum-creature" to being normal after Mip's death is the funniest shit.
0:19 for some reason i find this part just absolutely hilarious the whole "is that black face?" even though it doesnt look like black face at all, to them just straight up eating it after they kill it
I gotta say, I think the Renaissance Men joke is my favorite in the series, and easily one of the most underrated. Right when you really start noticing the trend for the episodes to tie in an earlier gag into the ending, they hang a lampshade on it in the most blunt way possible. Amazing. One of the only times I’ve seen a show really sync a joke to its actual pacing as a season.
0:16 The guy stepping the other guy's face eerily seems like a reference to one of the Newgrounds games they played (I think it could be the one with the Homer beating up the other guy) due the way the face becomes more and more disfigured after every step
Depending on the amount of gold...gold itself is pretty heavy so maybe a good amount of gold might do it...dragon could melt it if awake so probably best done doin a sneaky
As KEno said it depends on the amount of gold. A cubic foot of gold is pretty heckin heavy (over 1000 pounds) last I checked so it maybe could. Thing is, dragons probaby way much more than that and they can fly so.... probably not. At least, you'd need A LOT of gold.
1:05 this is the reason why this show is unmatched. The design of the little thing that dies is the design used in the uglier of the two latter-half-of-the-20th-century animated “The Hobbit” and “The Lord of the Rings” adaptations. And its art style fits this show and the pebbles boy so perfectly.
There's a few shots where you can see the whites of Charlie's eyes, so I think it's a cat/dog thing where you mainly see the iris (or I guess pupil in this case) until they look a certain way
@@pixelander Rick and Morty still had consistency and logic to it albeit that is kind of thrown under a bus here and there but Smiling friends is just too random to be mainstream.
What's with the reoccurring gag of people saying something threatening and ending it with "BAAAH"? "You're gonna die here Pim, BAAAH" "I earned it, I earned it, BAAAH"
Korgoth would've been the only thing to top it, if it ever got picked up. The animation in smiling friends is really good for TV, Mip looked like his frames were completely hand-drawn lol
You forgot the guy who got pulled from his car and got crushed by a semi truck by the mascots that went rampage in the city towards the end in the Salty’s episode
Yeah the scene where the twins have their flashback in that episode also included death, actually clicked the video specifically for this one, hardest i laughed durign the show.
Can we notice how good is Desmond as a shooter? The guy approached the little creature, changed the aim of his gun (which is quite big and not precisely light) from his head to the creature, pull the trigger and do a "clean" headshot (no pun intended), all of this in a matter of a second. If this guy turned out to be a depressed ex-assassin i wouldn't be surprised.
I guess I’m choosing this video to put out my thoughts on the Mr. Frog episode. When the fly mr. Frog eats appears later on as an actor it’s also revealed that Mr Frog didn’t eat him before, just put him in his mouth. But when Mr. Frog gets cancelled, its for doing that very same thing, putting someone in his mouth. But he didn’t eat them. Flashfoward to the end of the episode and Mr. Frog regains his popularity by ACTUALLY eating his manager or agent or whatever. I think that’s an interesting thing to think about, we were thinking he was cancelled because he attacked somebody, but no he was cancelled because he didn’t follow through and eat the TMZ guy. Not sure exactly what lesson we can gleam from this, but it’s a fun thought nonetheless
Zach aka psychicpebbles once said that in the pilot after Pim brought Desmond to a party the guy on a bean bag actually died you can tell because of the flys flying around Edit: also nobody even cared about the body cause it was a party and thinking he’s drunk and just sleeping
i really feel bad for charlie in the season finale. one would expect charlie to be the scrooge of the episode and hate christmas but he really isn't acting any differently. he's honestly being pretty reasonable. even in his death, he wasn't doing anything wrong. he was being snarky but it was warranted. it was pretty funny though that one frame the tree's falling on him and the next he's just a pile of gore.
Though he loses points for me when he gets all pissy and unreasonable towards Pim sayin "See, only YOU care, it only affects YOU so I can keep doing it, I dont have to CONFORM to your cheery mood!" if he just kept it at being bummed about having to work on Christmaa Eve that would've been ok. But instead he got on the offense and be a jerkoff.
@@DeepEye1994 i guess but pim was being really confrontational for no real reason. charlie wasn't acting any differently and pim was acting like charlie was being moody
@@JaxontheOkay "Charlie wasn't acting any differently" yes, Pim even says it "It seems like you're _often_ in this mood, like it's not a one-off thing, it's like you're always like this..." And then: "It's every job we do you never want to do anything and _sometimes_ it gets a bit exhausting, that's all I'm saying!" he says it with the down-to-earth modesty of a friend, he wasn't being "really confrontational"? And Charlie doesn't really give an answer to that last point, he just gets more irrationally pissy and "Well what if I did it to you!!" arguments to avoid looking at himself. It's all meant to nicely be reflected with Charlie confronting Satan in the end. Charlie speaks honestly about Satan's life and how his mood is making him go in circles, and instead of being reflective Satan just gets super mad at him. I've been in Charlie's place, and sometimes I've been in Pim's place. And it's really annoying when the person doesn't listen and just goes nuclear, it's like talking to a wall. But I can kinda get both sides. I guess I don't like when someone FULLY sides with one. Like, no, I don't want to justify myself when I'm moody and get pissy at people who are sick of my shit, I don't do it out of malice, but afterwards when it passes and I feel better, I'm not proud of how I behaved and wish I could've avoided being hostile at the very least.
@@DeepEye1994 i think we can agree that neither of them were being very nice. i was exagerating a bit about pim being "very" confrontational, but to me it did feel like pim was trying to stir something up. pim has been known to act a little strangely at times such as in the enchanted forest episode. but you are right. charlie certainly isn't always a big help during their jobs. i would really like to know why he chose smiling friends to begin with. i hope zach and michael explain their backstories a bit more because all we really know about charlie is that his uncle got into several car accidents lol. so yeah neither of them were being great but i'm leaning a bit more on charlie's side personally.
I Just genuinely love when random things Just happen and no one reacts in any way to it like Desmond carrying a gun to his head literally everyone is just unfazed by it
I like how 3 of the deaths were at the very least indirectly caused by Pim, and yet somehow they all lead to the client smiling in the end. The tree demon getting eaten, Mip getting pushed into the spear, and Charlie chopping down the tree.
1:41 Actually the Knights Templar only part of the Renaissance for merely 12 years before being disbanded so calling them "Renaissance men" is quite the stretch.
I find it funny that Charlie getting killed by chopping down a tree because before they went looking for a tree he was playing ark and cutting down a tree with a rock xD
