SMILING FRIENDS IS OVER!
MY SKOOGLY BOOGLY WOOGLY HUMOR IS GONEMY STIMMY COMFORT SHOWY IS GONZIEZ!!! IM AM SADZ0RZ....!!!!!!!
you know exactly why
>>152634914Excuse me?
wasn't this shit announced that it would be ending like a week or two ago? you are literally, like literally literally textbook definition retarded if this is coming as a surprise
>>152633911Cope, you homo
>>152635087>wasn't this shit announced that it would be ending like a week or two ago?No, but Michael and Zach have been saying for awhile that they don't plan on the show going on forever. People just thought they'd do seasons 4 and 5 since they were greenlit.
ending your first true success after more seasons have been greenlit by talking over a static image and having it be uploaded as people are logging off on a wednesday is so fucking weird
>>152633911I don't get how you can "run out of ideas" when the whole show is just this
I think the Smiling Friends self-insert shit got weird enough that they started to get really annoyed by it, and decided to take it out back as a result.
lol it barely started.This shit is shorter than 12 Oz. Mouse.Oh well, wasn't as funny either.
>>152635166smiling friends fans have always been on-par with the szechuan sauce autism spurred on by rick and morty. Just a bunch of spergs taking a cartoon way too seriously
>>152633904I'd rather they end it than letting it drag into zombification like Rick & Morty, Spongebob, & The Simpsons. Some cash cows are better off not being milked to death. They can always keep the franchise alive with some comics as an alternative to an animated series.
>>15263518512 oz mouse works because it showed that Anyone can cook, but only the fearless can be great.
>>152635166I can assure you that they don't give a shit about any of that.
>>152635087Nope, was literally yesterday. And before that, season 4 and 5 were announced in Jun last year.
>>152635208I'm fucking pissed we're not gonna get the fourth and fifth seasons but I'm grateful it won't meet the same fate as Rick and Morty. The world would be a much better place if Dan and Justin had the foresight to call it quits after the first episode of season 3
>>152635273Rick and Morty wasn't even done with its second season by the equivalent run time. This was preemptive regardless.
>>152635185Retarded contrarian
>>152635087Just last week they said they'd probably call it quits after S5And then just suddenly decided to call it quits before they could even do that
>>152635102>>152635239so the official announcement that makes more sense. I've definitely seen threads discussing how the show might end and the creators didn't want it to go on forever within the last month
>>152635273Except they have even less material than that. With 25 episodes under their belt, this is like ATHF ending after Sir Loin
>>152635366they're cancelling the two seasons they were gonna do?? no wonder this is blowing up everywhere. disregard my last post
>>152635383lmao
>>152635147they were already repeating plots in season 3
>>152635383Yes except athf actually had the humor to make a long running series like that feasible. Smiling friends definitely isn’t athf tier.
>>152635354>I preferred the more successful show with more episodes that aired when Adult Swim has more viewers.>C-CONTRARIAN How did smiling bros get this way?
>>152635410I'll be honestI doubt Smiling Friends would be as "popular" as it is if it didn't have the parasocial leeches from SleepyCabin/OneyPlays
Fair, Season Three had the weakest episodes for the most part so If they want to move away for a while and never return I can get that
>>152635452Yolo silver fantasy is basically what Smiling friends would look like without Zach Hadel… A nice show but not as much of an enthusiastic fan base behind it. Yolo also was cancelled this year with zero fanfare.
>>152635476Yolo is also the better show
>25 episodes at 11 minutes Vs.>13 episodes at 22 minutesApologize.
>>152635423Most of them are parasocial backwash.
>QUANTITY = QUALITYwhy has /co/ become /v/?
career suicide. Zach only goes down from here
>>152635578ATHF was pushing out gold like the Broodwhich 28 episodes in.You can have both.You can have both.
>>15263557830 ten minute long episodes is not a lot of TV
>>152633904>Mexico's biggest cartel leader dies>Smiling Friends dies too shortly afternoticing
>>152635423Shut up, retard
>>152635601Smiling Friends is not ATHF... ATHF was already hilarious by season 1. Quite making that comparison.
They lied and I'm never going to forgive them.
>>152635610>>152635590They weren't even high concept or extremely well planned intricate plots with limited subject matter. They just did whatever they wanted and they couldn't even manage 3 short seasons of 10 minute episodes.This is just proving the YouTube and Newground indie animators don't have as much juice in their tank and the reason for their low output isn't only it being a one man operation but because they are lazy.
What is it with people saying the "certain group of people" joke got it cancelled à la World Peace? It's the exact same as the "probably working with all those filthy" joke from the second episode, protagonists explicitly condemning it and all, but this time it was spelled out even more obviously.
>>152633904this is like the 4th time I've seen a thread about this
>>152635625You will continue to hear about 12 Oz. Mouse long after the final utterance of Smiling Friends.
>>152635578I agree, they made a good 6 episodes too many already.
>>152635665Cause they censored the full joke just like they censored the Elliot Roger quotes in MDE.
>>152635704Cope
>>152635601as much as I like Smiling Friends, they're no ATHF
>>152635731
>>152633904there is clearly something serious or fucked up behind the scenes being kept hidden and they are trying to play it off as quitting while ahead. It could be benign like hadel and cusack having a falling out, or some actual career-wrecking sexual harassment type shit. My money is on the latter
>>152635578they promised two more seasons and are not doing them. fuck off.
>>152635590Yeah even if this was done on good terms it's gonna look like he pulled out of a project part way in from the outside.
>>152635714>they censored the full jokeThat WAS the joke, retard.https://youtu.be/t9SS8hMOF4k?si=bYjf5UJvyh4IvpJA&t=1965
>>152635751Cusack has a history of running productions and multiple ones at that. The other one's claim to fame was making animated videos close to 15 years ago and has just been a podcaster/let's player since.
Seeing that zack and some of the crew are already doing partnership with space king, it was obvious.
>>152635751Tomar used his chaos emeralds during production and killed two employees by accident
>>152635803>space king,Oof, talk about a fall from grace.
>>152635811>gracehis show is Smiling Friends, don't be such an elitist
>>152635811Nope, it's the reverse
>>152634914so its another MDE World Peace situation?
I can't believe this whole thread happened without mentioning the best smiling friend once.
>>152635842People want it to be but that's not the case. Adult Swim aired this. Sam was calling journalists jewish nigger faggots before his show even ended.
As long as it raises the chance of Cusack making more YOLO I'm happy to see Smiling Friends go.
>>152635842considering help had a framed agartha poster the [as] execs might have caught on
>>152635524the best adultswim original show was easily venture bros, which got over 80 episodes at 22 minutes and a movie. when venture bros was canceled is when adultswim fell into permanent decline
>>152635869*glep
>>152635831Cope
>>152635578If the first 3 seasons were gold, you could call it there and leave it bittersweet.But most of S2/3 suck or only one of the A/B plots has jokes. I think people just wanted a chance for it to reach S1 highs again.
>>152635873All true.
>>152635578YOU BROKE THE RULES
>>152635873People will say "BUT THEY TOOK TOO LONG" but Venture Brothers was operating on much higher quality of writing than "SCREAMIMG RANDOM THING AHHHHH!!"
>>152635907>"SCREAMIMG RANDOM THING AHHHHH!!"Nice fanfiction
Maybe they were right. It was already starting to feel like they were running out of steam. Rick and Morty didn't feel that way for me till season 4. I imagine a season 4 of Smiling Friends would be running on fumes to an even greater extent.
some of these posts feel like damage control i swear to god.
>>152635947we've been on fumes since Season 2 Episode 2.
>>152635947now if only rick and morty would get canceled as well
A show allergic to dramatics will always be capped in how far it can go
>>152635982good one anon
>>152635982No, look at ATHF
>>152635947That's really sad cause each season of Rick and Morty had more episodes... And that's more episodes at twice the length each. Even if you only like the first three seasons of Rick and Morty, that's over twice as much show as Smiling Friend's whole run.
>>152633904Damn, when was the last time /co/ got mindbroken over a cartoon getting shitcanned quickly that not only anons hatespam how they hate the show, but also having a million threads in the catalog last night and now?
I never watched this shit but I only just realized the CGI nigger girl is not even in the show because of these threads
>>152636035I don't think a current running show that is talked about here has ever been canned this unexpectedly at all.It's not like they just didn't get renewed, they went from 5 confirmed seasons to just the 3 that exist.Even Transformets animated didn't promise anything with all its teasing.
So Adult Swim is fucked right? Assuming all this is 100% legit, AS has literally nothing that could even hope to reach the same level as Smiling Friends >B-but what about Haha You Clowns?I'm sure it's a fine show, but lets not kid ourselves, it's not SF level, and never will be>B-but what Common Side Effects and PrimalAlso good shows. They are also very niche and haven't reached the mainstream status they need to get AS out of its rut. Frankly I will be shocked if AS isn't 90% Bob's Burgers and Family Guy reruns, assuming Disney doesn't pull that plug
>>152635863She deserved better.
>>152635208I didn't want the show to go on and on forever I was just hoping there would be more
S1: 8/10S2: 5/10S3: 4/10I would've liked to at least see where 4 and 5 went. I know the plug wasn't pulled, people outside /co/ eat everything up, is Hadel really that unmotivated
>>152636097Sorry, but that face, while cute, clashes too much with her realistic body.
>>152636097>Best character didn't even appear in the actual showThat's a new one on me.
>>152636090Let's be honest. Only reason Smiling Friends was popular was because it piggy backed off the biggest parasocial fanbase on the internet since Cum Town.
>>152636110I liked 3 more then 2. the Spamtopia episode is about the only good season 2 episode
>>152636035it always had haters, they're just being vocally loud right now about it "always being shit" or "running out of fumes since day 1" while half the actual fanbase is still in denial and half are rightfully pissed off.
>>152636090Adult Swim lost Family Guy years agohttps://youtu.be/dEhQdRN6_j0
>>152636151Wrong
>>152636192Kinda wild considering Family Guy reruns on AS and DVD sales convinced Fox to pick it up
>>152636228I don't think they lost it by choice.
>>152636151I could see it going either way. for me 3 is the only season with more bad than good. in 2 I'd say Gwimbly, Alan's, Brother's Egg and Spamtopia are good, or more funny than not. 3 I'd say Moleman/Squim/Schmaloogles are good, there are some others I like parts of but they fuck up somewhere. Like the S3 Mr Frog ep started really fun, and then the back half of the episode is unfunny dragged out scenes.
>>152636148I never watched any of that oneyplays shit but I still liked Smiling Friends because of the art style. It's a fun show to look at. But yeah, the reason a lot of people liked it is because it reminded people of the flash animations from the early internet. There's not really anything else on TV with that style.>>152636090Yeah it's not looking good. Rick and Morty is basically all they have left now, and that show is a living meme at this point.
>>152636252Oh I know, which is still a shame. Despite not starting there, I always associate Family Guy more with AS than the zombie revival episodes.
There really wasn't much to this show in the end, huh?
>>152636375I think zach might just have adhd or some shit. cusack is not the issue here i guarantee it.
i had the feeling they wanted things to end since the last mr.frog episode
>announce you're going to make another season>"actually no it's cancelled bye lmao"why do they do this? mao mao did it too.
>>152636397the actual showrunners of mao mao cancelled the show?
>>152636397mental complex. they're afraid of failure, but that's usually what would stop someone from making a show in the first place, not doing 2 more seasons when you've proven you can make 3 w/o it killing you
>>152636387Well, if we get your guarantee!
>>152636397Mao Mao's showrunner was told they were getting a second season and then the execs decided to drop it later wtf are you on about?
>>152636428cusack has used the same characters repeatedly for years and is shown to be a competent showrunner. zach couldn't even do 4 seasons of a 10 minute show with a shared workload in terms of writing.
BEST NEWS OF 2026I ACTUALLY JUST STOOD UP AND DANCED WHEN I HEARD IT WAS CANCELLED KEK
>>152633904YOLO got the same number of episodes in the end (and is on equal level of quality)
He's right you know.
lol this is great im glad it got cancelled
>>152636476Sure thing, tranny
>>152636495Yolo didn't have as many meh episodes.
>>152636544same number of seasons, close enough
A show could have only 2 episodes and you fags will say "it kinda went to shit in the second half" regardless of quality.
>>152636540>>152634914What group of people was he talking about?
>>152636544The middle ‘serious’ season with Rachel trying to become a queen because of a dream she had- is usually hated on because it’s extremely tonally different from the other two.
>>152635842No, AS had multiple years to cancel Smiling Friends because of Zachs history and even greenlit two more seasons anywaySam got shitcanned for being retarded on purpose in the workplace
>>152636542Stfu, you contrarian
>amazing digital circus possibly being cancelled (fingers crossed!)>smiling friends cancelledhttps://youtu.be/3df7lzFIyvAbros... we are being blessed this 2026...
>>152636562Muslims
>>152636576Nope, you subhuman retard
>>152636562kiwis
>>152636584calm down sissy
>>152636595Tell that to yourself.
>>152636595Yes sir...
>>152636576Yup, just look at the shows we have no that can take their place like............
>>152636035>Damn, when was the last time /co/ got mindbroken over a cartoonHonestly, the closest to this that I remember to this reaction when a show ended, was pic related.
>>152636618There was no other way for it to end, other than just not having Ashi at all.
>>152636618everybody hated how this ripped off the ending of some other anime right?
>>152636576amazing digital circus is ending after the next two episodes.
>>152636625>other than just not having Ashi at allwould have been much better. the first couple of episodes without her being a main character were much better then the last 2/3 of it
>>152636614If you want something with the same comedy as the amazing digital circus, check out the clone high reboot and SMG4!
>>152636655I liked her and I liked seeing her with Jack. Not big on romance myself but it was nice.
>>152636626>other anime
oh no guys i-i have bad news...what is it pim?our show got cancelled...aw pim man that sucks i cant believe it!mr. boss our show is cancelled!what!? this is really bad!i know...aw man guys what do we do now?i dont know pim this... this is really bad man...our show is cancelled...
What if Zach canceled the show to be a full time oneyplays guest
>>152636705That would be good, I really like Oney Plays but I don't like Smiling Friends that much.
>>152636625Honestly, I think it would have been nice if they beat Aku, there really was no way to get back to the past as Aku claimed, and they had to make peace with that. Sure, Jack didn't save the past, but he did save the future.The reason that ending is a bit eh for me personally, is that by acknowledging Ashi getting wiped out, they also acknowledge that literally every person in the entire show except for the ones from 'the past' are dead/never existed, since the future in which they're born never came to be.They all fought with all they had in a final battle to basically commit suicide, and any interpretation of how 'ah but they would be born but in a better world' is both entirely headcanon, and also softly goes against Ashi's disappearence since if any one of the future characters would be born anyway but under different circumstances, what's stopping Ashi's cultist mom from self-imregnating with the vital essence of another godlike being?
>>152636113That clash is part of her appeal. Sexy or realistic bodies with simple, cartoony, or background character-tier faces is a powerful combo.
>>152636705I don't watch Oneyplays is it doesn't have Zach
Stopped caring when they hired a tranny on the show
>>152636740I don't think any character in the future would have said "don't destroy Aku, I LIKE this future"They would have all 100% behind eradicating him and giving themselves up in the process. Nobody wants to live under a tyrant.That's why modern day tyrants try to be subtle, poison and demotivate you so they'll feel safe when their mask inevitably slips.
I thought being nofap was supposed to give you tons of drive and motivation why did they cancel it
>>152636562I dunno any jews with blonde hair and blue eyes, I can tell you that much
>>152636769Faggot
>>152636618>>152636625Primal has had me realizing that I do not like anytime a female lead* shows up midway in a Genndy work and overtakes it. The worst parts of Primal have Mira being boring, and Ashi takes up way too much of Jack S5.
>>152636790same. the whole point is to be about a lone warrior, not one with a random girl he meets at some point
>>152636769fucking transphobic bitch what is your problem?
>>152633904Don't worry bros. At least we'll get Haha, You Clowns season 2 and 3.
>>152633904i'm hoping they're going around pitching different projects now
>>152636817ywnbaw
>>152636817Shut up
>>152636959why would industry people hire them again knowing they can just pack up and leave at any point even after more seasons were ordered? they burned those bridges over what appears to be an emotionally lead snap decision.
>>152636774>Nobody wants to live under a tyrant.Yeah, but if Aku is killed in the future, they would no longer be living under a tyrant.Like, think of any historical war ever fought, be it against the Romans, the French, the British, etc. Do you think the people fighting that war would be like: "Man, I hate these guys so much, that if given the choice between me and everyone I know and love ceasing to exist to destroy them, or just having them be destroyed, I would pick the first"?Hell, think of pretty much any fictional situation too. Think anyone in the Rebellion in Star Wars would have pressed the History Eraser Button just to stick it to the Emperor? Because that's basically what going back in time to kill Aku is.
>>152636562The... uh... uhm... chi... coms. Yes, the chicoms. Alex Jones was right all along.
>>152633904The thing that's most frustrating about this show ending like this, is that it seemed to be hitting its stride and building up decent momentum. To the point of becoming something that could be a bigger thing in the broader culture, particularly when it comes to the animation community and the types of shows others might be incentivized to create. In general season 5 seemed like a much more fitting season count than 3. And while this show isn't particularly plot heavy with an over-arching story, it would have been nice to have some sort of arc or proper ending for these characters. It feels a bit jarring to not have a decent send-off.
A lot of people seem to unironically believe that they're quitting because of the fanbase. When is the last time a show ended because the creators got a little bit peeved at their dumb fans? That's not a factor
>>152636562You know who anon, don't play coy.
>>152635982Fuck serialization.
>>152637198zach is notoriously petty when it comes to this sort of shit so i could definitely see it being a bit of a factor, but it's a bit hypocritical when the oneyplays fanbase is literally the exact same fanbase and he'll still show up on the channel occasionally and probably more often now and now people will bring this up constantly.
>>152637085because they can make a good show that people care about?
>>152636790That's what I've been saying. Mire RUINED primal. All of the season 1 episodes are GOLD until Mira shows up. What a waste of potential.
>>152637234why does that fucking matter when they decide to end a good show this unceremoniously because>meh, we dun feeeeel like it...literal grade school shit.
>>152637257maybe adult swim should have been more aggressive in keeping these guys happy then
>>152637234Companies don't care about quality, they care about profits and longevity.
>>152637198>When is the last time a show ended because the creators got a little bit peeved at their dumb fans?Chappelle's Show
>>152637299adult swim was as accommodating as humanly possible what the fuck are you talking about. their reason is burnout. something literally every fucking writer goes through.
I can't believe Vivzieslop will probably outlive every cartoon still airing except for the most reheated and longrunning reboots and continuations of existing shit that was vaguely good at some point.>>152637085They will NEVER get another lightening in a bottle "smiling friends"-tier project ever again since nobody in the industry's gonna wanna gamble on them not just ditching everything and going out in the woods as soon as they get bored, their shot is BLOWN.
>>152637308to be fair that was due to black fragility not burnout.>AAAAAAIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEE WHITEY IS QUOTING MUH SHOW SAVE ME ANCESTORS
>>152637300that's what i meant by good, smiling friends drives the most advertising dollars>>152637316i meant in terms of money. desu the one time cusack got a show with fox they saddled him with two morons as showrunners who killed it
>>152637308lol, good point
>>152637330why would anyone but drone tier fans trust these morons with money now? they're going to be full indie and crowdfunded for the foreseeable future now.
zach and michael are kind of fags for doing this
>>152637234who will loan millions of dollars to a known risk? they’re mid contract
as long as they work on something else i'm fine
>>152633911spwp
>>152636625Ashi was a trash fucking character who's existence amounted to a quick and easy out of the blue way for Jack to get back home before getting wiped from existence along with every actually good character until they had to go back and make a video game bringing back Jack's magical barely legal aku daughter wife.
>>152637356kinda, sorta. nobody would really mind if they took a couple years off instead of just abruptly saying thats it
>>152637354>>152637368production hadn't even started yet, so what are you even on about
>>152637388a couple years off doing WHAT? these are adults not teenagers, they have fucking bills to pay. people acting like this is rational and sane decision wise are fucking crazy.
>>152637396IF PRODUCTION HADN'T STARTED YET AND YOU DIDN'T WANT TO DO MORE SEASONS DON'T ANNOUNCE THAT THE SHOW HAS BEEN RENEWED FOR TWO FUCKING MORE SEASONS DIPSHIT CUNTFACE
>>152637399dont they do streaming shit and make money off of that? Its very easy to monetize shit online with minimal effort today
>>152637408that's adult swim's problem, isn't it
inb4 "Smiling Friends - the lost episodes" and it's a mishmash content reel of storyboards/designs/music the other people on board were working on for S4 before Zach told them to kill themselves
They cancelled that bad show? Nice.
Kneel
>>152636625Fuck off retard it was the worst possible ending>multiple episodes spent over Ashi crap>finally epic final fight of Jack and his friends vs Aku>Ashi realizes in the middle of the fight she can just create time portals because she has Aku's powers>this implies Aku can time travel to the past by the way, so why didn't he just use that against Jack? why not go after them now?>Ashi creates a time portal to the past and ditches the whole fight, dragging Jack back to the past with her>Jack missed multiple time portals over the course of the series to save randos btw nice job implying he was a dumbass for doing it the whole time>anticlimactic battle of Jack vs already beaten up Aku from the past who just used his last ditch move to get rid of past Jack>Jack happily marries Ashi but oh no how tragic she fucking dies because time travel and shit >Jack is le sad because he lost Ashi (not a single mention of the whole shit he went through, it just ends on le sad because no more gf)The whole series is invalidated in the most unsatisfying way possible for a cliche sob love story tacked in at the last minute. I'm not saying erasing the bad timeline is the wrong decision for an ending but shit, at least a goodbye between Jack and his friends, anything other than getting dragged away in the middle of a fight because the new OC just remembered she can singlehandedly solve the whole series dilemma would have been more satisfying. Didn't even kill Aku in the future after all he went through, nothing. I'm still mad.
>>152633904New Smiling Friends and new Haha You Clowns back to back was comfy and I was looking forward to it again. Quite sad actually.
>>152637451Filtered homo
>>152637431yeah and unless it is a prank everyone else in town saw them flake on adult swim after promoting a new season
I'm going to miss her...
>>152637485Huhuhuh, don't worry guys shes gunna be on haha you cwowns fwom now on.Yeah, we'w gunna take WEAL good cawe of that chocowate goddess...
>>152637485The OC bullshit was really getting out of hand
>>152637462no, I'll just watch older better shows thanks
>>152637408Because corporate orders more. That's what "greenlight" means. If the cartoon store says "more cartoons", but the cartoon factory says "no", guess which temporal order that happens in?
>>152637520Like Smiling Friends
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jY7bXfkOEVoOur favorite cuck made a new video.
>>152636097She deserves a hard dicking and some cum in her holes.
>>152637485>>152637503Look at you boys, taking care of this poor homeless brown woman. I sure did raise you right, if your mother were here she'd be so proud
>>152635664The real problem is that Zach and Michael were sticking their fingers in absolutely every step of the process. They were writing every episode, contributing to the storyboards, personally overseeing the animation process for every single episode, voice acting, and even directly involving themselves in the process of recruiting and hiring guest animators and voice actors.They were running themselves ragged by being absolute perfectionists, which was made even worse by the fact that they were coordinating all of that shit across the international date line because Zach was in LA and Michael was in Melbourne most of the time.Matt and Trey could manage that, plus a crazy fast turnaround, because their show didn't have a lot of moving parts, so to speak. At least not at the start. But when you're being extremely particular about every frame of animation because the detail is where the comedy comes from, it just doesn't work.
>>152637473Ashi's a plot device and the last minute "oh right i can make time portals too lol" was whack, but I think your nitpicking goes too far. Aku is a conniving piece of shit the entire series, Jack spawning back in one second after Aku sends him to the future was fine.>>152637485>most enjoyable S3 content wasn't even an element of the showtelling
>>152637485>>152637503BVILT for tender CAMPBELL love and care
>>152636562He was talking about whatever group the that first came to mind in the viewers head. It was a joke played on the viewer themselves.
>>152637559What the fuck is up with this guys accent? It's like a constantly shifting mix of American, Scottish, and some generic Scandi accent.
>>152636562channers
>>152637552no, I mean the original adultswim lineup. aquateen, harvey birdman, sealab 2021. all of these hold up better then current adultswim
/our/ girl is taking the news well
>>152637485>>152637503>>152637586>>152637653the boys wont ignore her like the smiling friends did... she will finally know the REAL meaning of smiling and friendship
>>152637681why are so many trans people named Jazz?
>>152637681
i wish we were getting a proper good bye episode
>>152637705maybe one of the final 2 will be that
>>152637559>so many comments of "they didn't want it to get stale" "better this than being the next simpsons haha"this is going to be a meme in the near future, I can feel it bubbling up. Forget going stale, they were barely fresh. It'd be like winning your first game of goyball and retiring from the sport w/o ever considering winning the big game.
>>152636790I wouldn't even call Ashi a midway appearance. More like a fucking...last 10% of the show. And that's generously speaking.
>>152637705We did, bro... We did... https://youtu.be/3rXJFLqz3lA
>>152637503>>152637586>>152637644>>152637653>>152637684Yep. This is pretty much what I picture when I think of the retards that obsess over the unfunny OC trash.
My hot take:Honestly, good for them. I enjoyed all three seasons and if they think it's time to end it I'd rather it end on a high note than a poor one. There's too many comedy series that far outstayed their welcome and I think what I watched was pretty good overall.
>>152637681Holy shit it gets worsehttps://bsky.app/profile/ladyjazzington.bsky.social/post/3mfrnw4dhck25
>>152635873>>152635907The last thread got archived before I could respond, but I said that VB's relative decline was seasons 4 and 5. Keep in mind, a low for Venture Bros is still a high for 95% of shows. I just didn't like Vatred and Sphinx as much as some people.
>>152637699because it's a social trend and they all copy each other
>>152637761Weww weww weww, looks like sumbody hewe had a poop in his pool pawty, huhuhuhWhy don't you come ovew hewe to the hot tub and let big brother Pweston cheew you up, huhuh

>>152637831is he being serious? i think someone should report that tweet
>>152636562Gamers
>>152637846Considering that guy is someone working on the show I think it's just a joke
>>152636562That's the joke... he's talking about whatever group you, as the listener, first jump to. The show was always kindof a parody of its audience.>>152633904Mad respect for ending on a high note and not submitting to making the series into a progressively shitty franchise.
>>152636785I do.try getting out of your home a bit more.
>>152637813You're 42 and do babyspeak on 4chan.
>>152637765Honestly most people just didn't expect Smiling Friends to end so soon.
>>152637869>ending on a high noteIt's just a Christmas special about the characters that did less stuff.
>>152635751Lazzo again, maybe?
>>152635578The best seasons of the Simpsons was 4 and 5. They could have at least chased for those highs before calling it quits
>>152637893You know, it's not vewy nice to make fun of the way someone talks. Didn't youw dad raise you wight and teach you that if you dun't have anyting nice to say, don't say anyting at all?
I do wonder when adult swim shows will get their assets leaked.I honestly think way more anons could use leaked storyboards, Adobe Animate files, vector assets, etc when looking for inspiration. I've been dicking around in Adobe Animate with Hasbro's leaked assets and it's taught me quite a bit about animation, compared to having to animate a hand drawn ball 100 times or figure out how to make my own puppets.
>>152638033would you be so kind as to make pinkie pie twerk for me and post it on catbox?
>>152638057too busy with my marecon panel, sorry chud. https://u.pone.rs/obzvuxoo.mp4(you) can have this though, which was my first practice animation with fucked up timing and motion.
>>152638084cute
>>152638084Aw, that's adorable.
>>152637950that’s where i come down on it. the simpsons should have ended in season 8/9, when the show was obviously down hill, not in season 5/6 “on a high note.” the quality will fall over time regardless, but it’s about ending it when the average episode is bad, not when the average episode is simply not as good.
There's far too much autism orbiting this show for it to continueTurns out when you cater to the terminally online with your show's writing and cast it attracts the worst kind of people.
ok it might be real
>>152638228While not the main reason I can definitely see Zach & Michael seeing how bad the fandom got during S3s run and it contributing to their growing disinterest in continuing the show.The fandom was noticeably worse this season.
>>152638228>it was le fans that ended the show!>Smiling Friends had the WORST fanbase, because uhhh... m-muh OCs and bad reddit memes!
>>152638287nah you don't get it man it was becoming the next r&m!!! best smother it in the crib. guess this will be a trend with whatever these clowns do now. 3 seasons max if we're lucky then onto the next thing.
>>152638228Unless Zach and Michael were getting bomb threats (they weren't). They didn't end the show because some fans were being weird. They aren't fucking 15.
>>152638287>twitter trannies>oneyplays parasocial autists>/pol/ brainrot schizos that think every joke is a dogwhistle>every cretin that went to those popupsyeah nah its just some bad memes
Cute little "internet show" you had there boys
>>152638532>[thing that you can ignore]>[thing that has nothing to do with the show]>[thing that only matters on 4chan]>[normal Adult Swim publicity stunt]God, I hope Michael Cusack doesn't end up slitting his wrists. This all must've been so hard for him.
>>152638532>OUR SHOW IS SUCCESSFUL AND POPULAR>this is........ le bad.....>cancel itwow, so brave and stunning. bravo hadel/cusack.
>>152638588>>152638611Irony has poisoned the internet.

>>152633904Thank God.
>>152638647Shut your fag mouth
>>152638664kek your shitty show is cancelled seethe
>>152638678You are seething, fatass

>>152638702Nope
>yolo crystal fantasy finished last year>smiling friends is over>primal ends in a few weeksI still have Toonami but not having a new Adult Swim series to look forward to is going to suck.
>>152633904Lasted three years longer than most thought.
>>152636785Zuck and many others you dumbass.
>>152636110Shit list. Season 3 was better than season 2 by far.
>>152638862Is this going to be the final end of Primal?
>>152638731>>152636584Eeyup, you subnormal newfag>>152635833Oof, is not the reverse
>>152638664Make me, sperg>>152638692You are going to bed, mamamia
>>152637483Not an argument normie
>>152635879>>152635731Arrest
>>152635624Spongebob is still doing it
They won
>>152635095Arrest, you normie
I think they are lying when they say the final episodes aren't a finale, and that coolautisticgamer has something to do with this
I honestly can see this all resulting from Zach cringing at the fanbase becoming increasingly brony/trekkie/sonic-tier. Based on a lot of Sleepycast and Oneyplays bits he seems the type to ruminate over embarrassing moments and the idea that he is in some way responsible for shit like the Allan bodypillow eats him up at night.
>>152639044If that was the reason, I'd genuinely lose respect for him. This is nothing compared to the actual WORST internet fanbases, and he should know that.
Take the blue pill and accept the Smiling Friends news at face value.Take the red pill and see the elaborate prank unfold in front of your own eyes
>>152635630
>>152638245Nice inspect element retard
>>152638986This is so adorable, amazing image
>>152638986>>152639076You love to see it :)
>end the show when it's at its most popularhow retarded do they have to be to do this? this show could have achieved Rick and Morty levels of popularity and made them permanently rich.
>>152639121It’s a publicity stunt, that’s why. A lot of people ITT will be eating their words on April fools day.
Oh well back to OneyPlays
>>152639121Wealth destroys people. They're probably happy enough to make a living.
>>152639094No
>>152637901Neither did I. I would have liked more really good episodes, but if they felt like they didn't have any good ideas for now, better to not force em. Totally understand people wanting more and being disappointed though.
>>152639141What will you do when they reveal this was all an elaborate prank?
>>152639128Much sooner
>>152639218Nah, it’s building up to April Fools.
>>152637681Genuinely awful that our timeline is the one with these troon bioweapons existing, THANKS JEWS!
>>152638986Those boys? My FVARKING HEROES
>>152633904I am 100% certain that Zach got real tired of how gay and reddit the whole animation crew was.
>>152635578Because some people *are* just spoiled assholes who just want their slop all the time and cannot actually deal with a show's creators actually knowing when to pack it in and call it a day. Nothing lasts forever. Fact o' life.
>>152635476Yolo is great, but it makes sense that it got only three seasons. Smiling Friends got a lot more attention, so it's a bit surprising to see it only get 3. I guess it's better than a sharp decline in quality from a team that's burnt out and has no good ideas left
>>152633904The fanbase is absurdly aggressive, I haven't seen anything like it before. Might be the e-celeb connection, people were fans of the creators before the show was made.It's like if Sonichu actually had genuine fans.
>>152639487>got real tired of how gay and reddit the whole animation crew was.Then why would he willingly go to adult swim dumb ass?
>>152636175This. voices online are ALWAYS louder than the actual reality. I don't think people are in denial or angry. Just upset that a good show is ending. Me, I'm fine with it. I'm glad it had it's good run before it became another zombie show for profit. IF ANYTHING, the upset is that [AS] will just churn out more Ribbet and Mortimer to pad out the time slots.
The one downside of Smiling Friends ending early is that it's going to be treated as this uncritiquable sacred cow for years after this.
>>152639152>They're probably happy enough to make a livingThey live in LA. Doubt.
>>152639559It already is. Evidence, the obnoxious parasocial faggots in this thread and elsewhere.
this "fanbase" is cucked beyond belief holy fucking shit man. the amount of people sucking off zach and cusack for essentially throwing in the towel during the first round while barely breaking a sweat is some of the most pathetic shit i have seen in a while. what the fuck is wrong with you people.
They probably got the news about Paramount and decided to dip
>>152639548Because he never made a show on network tv before?
>>152639576Oh yeah. Look at 'em, just fighting shadows and yelling at each other because they can't cope.
>>152639557>I'm glad it had it's good run before it became another zombie show for profitThis implies the show was actually good lmao.
>>152639586>because he never Yet he worked and hung around people who have and he still went there faggot. Get his dick out your mouth for one minute.
>>152639559As it should
>>152637723Seriously I'm already sick of seeing it. It's only like 13.5 full episodes of a cartoon series. Or if Aqua Teen ended at Super Sirloin. It's nonsense and cope. It's not stale, it barely even got fresh.
>>152638885Zuck is brown haired. Try again
>>152638986Man, now I really want a Haha, You Clowns comic.
>>152636769But you voted for Trump when trannies supported him, right?
>>152639576You’re just in denial that you fell for a prank.
>>152639700Nope
>>152633904With the final 2 episodes coming out later this year they show will end with a total of only 27 episodes That means The Brak Show despite being the first Adult Swim show to be cancelled ran for longer than Smiling Friends, having a total of 28 episodes
>>152639898Eeyup
>>152639590It was, you homo
>>152633909HeHe, Hey Louis, I am ruinning something popular then ours, Heh Heh
>>152639912it wasn't, you normie
>>152635578>YOU WILL HAVE YOUR 10 MINUTE SHOeerrimeanFULL EPISODES AND 5-7 EPISODES, AND YOU WILL LIKE IT!Look, i get it, the 80s and 90s was the age of quantity over quality with shows with its first season being 40-56 episodes long, and only a small dozen of them looking good by being outsourced to japan and the rest to whoever, i get that, but that doesnt mean that the opposite extreme is the best way, its horrible too in its own way.
>>152639905Good
>>152639576You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
>>152639988Parasocial - Adjective - "denoting a relationship characterized by a one-sided, unreciprocated sense of intimacy felt by a fan or follower for a well-known or prominent figure (typically a media celebrity), in which the fan or follower comes to feel that they know the celebrity as a friend."Sound like anyone you know?
>>152640015Great, skippy. Now, be a doll and point out the parasocial people itt for me.
>>152640015did people call fans of john k back in the day parasocial losers? what about jhonen vasquez? is simply being a diehard fan of a creative or anyone in media just being seen as being a parasocial freak now? why did it come to this?
>>152639905It’s not ending, it’s a publicity stunt.
>>152633904Good
>>152640169of course, remember the boston's 2007 bomb scare incident
>>152639044Makes sense given how he dresses and his fixation on cringe culture.
I am willing to bet money this is an elaborate troll.The manner in which it is being canceled is too bizarre and unprofessional. It doesn't add up.
>>152635354>12 .oz mouse is good>calling others contrarian Silly but I respect it.
>>152638033I know it’s not technically pony posting, but you’re really pushing it
a whack buster crompton like zach can't hack it and has to throw in the towel? nothing out of the ordinary here folks, keep moving along
>>152639121Larry Ellison just bought their show along with all of WB so they want out
>show with a far more restrictive premise not only lasts longer but remains consistently amazing throughout it's entire runKneel, dildos.
>>152640288Is a newgrounds animator acting unprofessional that absurd to you?>>152639044>bro I can’t sleep at night there’s a fan made body pillow of one of my charactersZach is sensitive but I don’t think he’s THAT thin skinned.
>>152640341>we never got to see stamper on smiling friendnumber one reason this sucks balls
Is there any inside information yet on what actually happened. Did they just abruptly decide they didn’t want to do the show anymore or was there some huge drama or legal issues that forced it to end early.
>>152638228People need to appreciate that not everyone is on 4chan/twitter 24/7 going out of their way to subject themselves to autism.
>>152640368They talked about ending it after like 5 seasons and not letting it drag on in previous interviews. I guess they just felt burnt out and done sooner than that.
>>152639121>permanently richWhat would having that money allow them to do that they can't already do?
>>152640368Paramount paid a shitton of money to outbid Netflix and won WB. The timing of the Paramount buying WB announcement with Smiling Friends getting canceled is a massive coincidence if it's not related
>>152640384It’s still going to season 5. This is a publicity stunt.
>>152640422Do april fool's really pranks count as stunts?
What level of copium are the fans on right now?
>>152640478I'm pretty sure it's one guy in denial. He had a gigantic meltdown typing in all caps earlier.
>>152640488>losing touch with reality over a stupid internet reference comedy cartoon
So he knew right?
>>152640306My bad, I thought the reverse
>>152640478Lethal amounts. Look at this thread>I-ITS A JOKE GUYS A JOKE TRUST ME I KNOW WHAT MY BUDDY ZACH IS LIKE, HE JOKES ALL THE TIME ON OUR FAVORITE LETS PLAY!!!!
>>152636562
>>152640478>What level of copium are the fans on right now?Stranger Things S5
FUCK MY LIFEi slept on this when it was big during the pandemic and i was still in high school so i had no excuse not to watch itskip to last month of THIS year and i watched all 3 seasons in one run and it made me feel like i was watching the first season of rick and Morty for the first time again
>>152640349That is actually a really good point. I never really thought about it but each episode is a reference to classic rock of some kind. It's not really random stuff happens humor like smiling Friends and ATHF
>>152640638
ITS JUST A PRANK BROAQUA TEEN RAN FOR 40 SEASONS AND SMILING FRIENDS WILL TOO
>>152640705>little babby zoom zoom is an unfunny lolcow posterimagine my shock.
>>152640763This but unironically.
Not enough people have seen the official announcement video.Zach has a certain way of talking when he lies.He is talking that way in the video.This is Brazil Episode 2.
>>152640810please kill yourself
>>152640478You’re the one on copium. Just accept the fact that you got trolled and enjoy the next 2 seasons.
>>152640812It’s not over, cope.
>>152640660Not quite. The extra episodes actually exist!
>>152640841And it’s all a set up to April fools which adult swim historically is in on.
>Zach and Michael announce they are ending the show>hours later Netflix declines raising the bid and WB ends in Paramount handsthey fucking knew
>>152640868It’s a publicity stunt, it’s not ending.
>>152639925>normieNormalfag* get better rettidoid.
>>152640832you could asked the same thing almost 6 years ago, arrest.

>>152640884>homoHomosexual*, git gud gobackoid
>>152640892Again, listen to his inflections. He’s been known to troll before. Seethe.
>>152640895what do you kids say? speak less?
>>152640868A few people (including myself) saw this as a reason to why the show was ending. Under no good faith was this show going to work under either company. At this point I'd be surprised if it is a bait now. So many bluesky people were trying to point out how "problematic" Zach and Oney were to justify hate bombing the show. Like, sure ignore all the other non-problamatic people who love Zach and newgrounds people because being CHILL and less reactionary is better than being propaganda shills.
>>152640812They are very clearly being facetious and almost break into laughter twice. The idea Adult Swim wouldn't sue them for breach of contract is also laughable.
>>152640053People dont say "celebrity worship" anymore, everything is "parasocial" because it's a fancy new Web 3.0 wordTalking politics is just as parasocial unless you're rich or influential
>>152640747>FilenameOh, and every day (you) don't, people will die
>>152640936The Ellisons won't give a fuck. They'll happily let them walk to save a few dollars. I doubt the Ellisons even know of Smiling Friends existence
>>152640988You’re really swallowing those blue pills… dilate.
>>152634914wb execs finally listened to sleepycast
>>152634914>look Tomar, it's you
>>152635751Personally my money's on AS keeping their budget relatively low for the show and insisting on their tight deadlines combined with the burnout.
>>152640868I'm out of the loop, explain why Paramount taking over WB is bad for Smiling Friends?
>>152638638Dude never watched an episode yet defined the whole fandom so perfectly.
>>152640368we also learned netflix left the deal for WB in the same time frame, take this what you will
>>152638986They didn't win, they lost their smiling friends.
>>152641118they bend over backwards whenever possible to self censor
Threads calling this out to be a publicity have gotten shoah'd by jannies. This proves that it's not over.
>>152641276>THE JANITORS ARE INSIDERS I SWEARThis isn't even delusion at this point, you HAVE to be trolling
I get it. In a world of youtube shorts and tiktok long form media is on the way out. The golden age of television like long running series is long past gone. The juice isn't worth the squeeze. They got merch rights they aren't aiming for 100 episodes to syndicate or anything either.
>>152640918Not since he died long ago, go to bed.>>152640994not the red pill ones.... are you blind.
>>1526412874chan nukes threads when stuff leaks... I STILL can't post the character sheets for the Loud cousins despite their debut being 2 years ago.
>>152641342It's not over and you fell for a prank. Dilate.
I wonder if canceling it was partially because Zach and Michael didn't want to deal with Paramount
>>152641399It's a publicity stunt ands the threads commenting on that getting shoah'd proves it.
