why dont people like him as much nowi used to know someone irl who's just like him who was obsessed with the unabomber and "slop"
What the fuck did the new episode do where I keep seeing threads of it over and overNot that I'm complaining or anything but it's everywhere and I'm curious
>>151343004he bought a "fall of rome" painting in the episode and people think he's being flanderized or it's zach making fun of himself by making charlie more of a disaffected right-wing character who is informed by instagram memes
>>151342880his good qualities don't come through as often as the other characters
>>151343004Nothing really, I thought it was a fine but fairly unremarkable episode. Whatever though, it's not like there are any other cartoons on TV right now worth making threads about, but you are right that there has been a weird overabundance of SF threads today in particular.
>>151342880>why dont people like him as much now????i see plenty of people that still like him. in fact, even more after the last episode
>>151342880>why dont people like him as much nowLess comedic bits that have shined through compared to earlier seasons.>i used to know someone irl who's just like him who was obsessed with the unabomber and "slop"Charlie is basically the young archetype of "that uncle" of the millenial generation. I can easily see him be the uncle to some Zoom or Alpha kid while sperging on about how history is a cycle man and that is why stuff like fast food was good in the 80s but now is going down hill
>>151342880I project my childhood bully onto him since he is clearly coded as not sharing my particular political views. I don't know if my childhood bully shares his politics or not, but it is easier for my brain to think that anyone that contradicts me is evil.
>>151343428You have issues
>>151342880I've strangely began relating to him more but less of the political stuff but just seeing a schlubby guy call sick into work to play a game and nothing else hit home. Also having a job that he doesn't care for but still keep cause it pays good money is also relatable.
>>151343393> I can easily see him be the uncle to some Zoom or Alpha kid while sperging on about how history is a cycle man and that is why stuff like fast food was good in the 80s but now is going down hillSwap fast food with anime and holy crap that is just me.Like deadass I babysat my friend's kid one night, found out the little crotch goblin liked anime so we just watched Fist of the North Star. Apparently now that kid is going through his "born in the wrong generation" phase.

>>151344576brian is a reddit atheist and charlie is a twitter tradcath
He is literally me
>>151342880Marc M has given them enough meme material to stay the Smiling Friends fatigue for another season. Most people got sick of hearing him say "uhh" in S2 alongside SF's other two jokes
>>151344613I hate how uncanny that comparison is
>>151344613exactly, he's the opposite side of the coin.
>>151343057zach was once asked if Charlie is at all a self insert character or based on himself at all, and Zach's reply was "god I fucking hope not"
>>151344613Tradcaths in the US are such a weird phenomenon.Protestants and particularly Evangelical Protestants have been the out-there wackos for centuries, starting splinter sects, handling venomous snakes and still to this day happily mixing half-remembered history and poltics into their religion.But right-wingers seem drawn to the staid church which has produced infamously decandent clergy-nobles, entrenched hierarchies of celibate old men vying for obscure positions and where most Catholic countries can be very liberal as part of the give and take between the defined institutions of Catholic Church and National State.It's not like the seriously wacky Protestants churchs have more liberal views on women or minorities.
>>151346799>Tradcaths in the US are such a weird phenomenon.>Protestants and particularly Evangelical Protestants have been the out-there wackos for centuriesThat's exclusively a US thing really. European evangelicals are a different beast entirely.
>>151342880CHarlie a cute
>>151348300Gay
>>151348710Fellas is it gay to appreciate an adonis?
>>151343004It was a solid episode that used the Smiling Friends premise of helping clients while still adding a subversive twist with an honestly impressive guest-animated character. People are trying to make him a Gwimbly 2, but I'm not sure how well that's working
>>151351051ice cream wife reminds me of candy wife from flapjack
>>151343004It's probably the new strat to get people to hate smiling friends since their old strat of secret neo-pureotin shit failed.
>>151351086Glad I wasn't the only one thinking about it.
>>151342880>his idea of "dressing up for work" is a hoodie and a cap>he has a gaming laptop>he eats ramen noodles and mcdonaldsthis episode hit a little close to home for /co/
>>151342880He is Chinese
>>151346799It's a weird phenomenon for people inside the US too. The whole "tradcath" thing is a very recent internet-driven phenomenon, unrelated to the ordinary existing US Catholic culture.
He's a chud
Because MrEnter destroyed cartoon discussion forever and characters are no longer allowed to have negative qualities because it makes them heckin' unlikable.
>>151352255I want to make torture porn of him
>>151346015That's how you know the person with the question was 100% spot on. A good self-insert is the least charitable, most repulsive version of yourself. Charlie is what Zach thinks he is deep down, even if it contradicts reality.
>>151343569You ruined a child anon. How dare you, you should have told him anime is gay and shown him some good AMERICAN propaganda
