Glad they're stopping before it gets stale.
>>152628241They are so pathetic
>>152628241Jazzy Oliver won
>>152628241They burnt through 10+ years of Oney plays bits in a couple seasons so I am not surprised they quit. The 3rd season was also a bit shit
weren't they already renewed for two more seasons
>>152628253Cope
i don't watch oneyplays. does zach actually sound like that
>>152628272Literally who?>>152628273Nice coping
Lazy turds.
I'm fine with that, the show got 3 decent seasons and ended.Granted, each season was like 8 episodes, and each episode is 11 minutes, so it's more like 12 half-hours, which is basically 1 season by pre-streaming standards.Or maybe half a season.
>>152628241So que gonna get Just onde more season and that IS It?I am a little disappointed >>152628288Yes. He had a stroke or something when he was younger and has that voice
>Oy vey I am so heckin tired having to write some scripts for 20 episodes over half a decade we need to stop and break contract so we can play more vidya and smoke weedLAZY FAGSPRESS S TO SPIT ON SLOPING FRIENDS
>>152628332No...
>>152628241They really don't want to become the next R&M
>>152628241I feel like someone in an alternate-universe 1992 where The Simpsons just got cancelled after the third season.
>>152628273I wonder what they're going to do next, or if Zach will start reappearing on OneyPlays more regularly now.
>>152628337Well don't Zach and friends make fun of shows like that? It would be hypocritical if they didn't try their best to avoid it.
Isn't this a bit dumb? The entire show's lenght basically just one Simpsons season and nobody thinks The Simpsons peaked in season 1
>>152628357They saw the jokes about SF being the new R&M and got jumpy
>>152628241This was always meh anyway.
Rick and Morty chads…. How are feeling about this?
If you want to go further the bingeclock says 4 Hours and 56 Minutes, going by the extra episodes Smiling Friends in total would be 5-6 Hours created. I wonder what the timeline like for them to get burnout, or is the new Studio ZAM alot to take care of?
>>152628359>to 65>3 monthsholy fucking underage
>>152628241My tooth just cracked out of how hard I was gritting my teeth thanks to the news. Fuck this gay earth. Fuck everything.
>>152628307Shut up, fag
>>152628241>Ending it because they don't want the show to go on for too longFeels more like The Simpsons running for multiple decades now has made modern Showrunners too self-conscious so they're ending their shows only after 2 or 3 seasons
>>152628373Nope, you contrarian
>>152628241Damn... I was hoping for at least another season or two, but it's better to end on high note. But I'm glad they're not completely shutting it down.
>>152628241c'mon not even a season 4?
someone check on that girl who makes stuffed allans
It was a good run.
>>152628241>ends you're show on a wet fart
>>152628386Yeah sorry for the brain fart, though I remember some DiC cartoons aired an entire season in three months
Two new episodes on April 12th. NOT designed to be a series finale.
I thought they were greenlit for 5 seasons.
THE FROWNING FRIENDS WON
>>152628241the only actual cultural output of Trump 2.0 is dead
>>152628304>copeHow is that a cope? You only make an announcement like this when you run out of material.
>>152628241So Two more episodes and it's done
>>152628407People forget it took like 10 seasons for The Simpsons to truly have a very noticeable decline in quality though.
>>152628241cant wait for this dude to come back on oneyplays after doing 3 lines in a row
>>152628241Good to end things before it turns to shit. More shows should take this approach.
>>152628452They did, but looks like they burnt out after the third season.
>>152628409You know you really don't have to take it this personally when someone complains about Smiling Friends.
>>152628407>>152628462I really think it's Rick & Morty that they're afraid of becoming, not just because of not knowing when to quit but also garnering an obnoxious fanbase.
Hopefully they'll start portraying the characters on OneyPlays
>They are so pathetic
>>152628241>important announcement
>>152628452That doesn't mean they have to go through with it. They made a choice to end it now.
Apologize.
>>152628479already has an obnoxious fanbase by how people brag they finally got some chuds making a cartoon.
He has a deviated septum you twat
>>152628241Zach is a cock munching FAGGOT who could never hang with the Adult Swim big boys of yesteryear. Cusack is the one with work ethic.
>>152628493Yeah it was already bad and it's easy to see how it could get worse
>>152628457Shut up, tard
>>152628492...for?
>>152628492What is that
Were there really no other stories to tell with the Smiling Friends? It's not an endless fountain of ideas, but there was still room to expand and grow. I hope this is more a sudden delay than a permeant cancellation. Regardless, don't frown that it's gone, smile that it existed to begin with.
>two more episodes on april 12th and that's itgood idea to end it before things get stale, but why are they two months away?
>>152628241Adult Swim is fucked isn't it?
At 5:46 when Michael says "it's a bummer" his accent made me think he was saying "it's Obama" lol
>>152628493Cope>>152628477I just like to insult smarmy /co/fags
>>152628241Not shocking whatsoever They ran out of steam after season 1Not to say that 2 and 3 are bad by any means but this concept peaked with the fucking pilot and you can only reuse so many oneyplays gagsBetter that they end it now than for it to go full zombie mode so I actually respect them a lot for thisNow we just need WB to release the rest of the show on Blu-ray with commentary
>>152628437>>152628359I think it depends on the network, the only AS show that ever had more than 12 half-hours per season was Boondocks, which is funny thinking back to it since that's probably the best-animated AS show ever outside of Primal.
>>152628281classic Zackh gaslight
>>152628503Shut up, Michael
>>152628241Is this for real? Zach and Michael are such fags if so.
>>152628492I dunno what spawned this console war bullshit between two completely different cartoons
This is all smormu's fault
>crashes out once>show diesbased
>>152628535>you can only reuse so many oneyplays gagsmost people don't know what that is
wtf i finally just started watching it
I feel like a 4th season could have been fine, but at the same time S3 had some of the worst episodes in the series, so this might be the right call. Guess those final two episodes where everyone dies will prove if this is the right choice.
>adult swim told us to write actual jokes instead of silly critters reacting realistically to wacky things?>AAAAIIIIEEE IM BURNED OUT SHUT IT DOWNTurns out when they exhaust all their schtick there's not much left
Can't even make 5 seasons of 8 little eleven minute things a piece. What the fuck.
>>152628556Charlie dies btw and he doesn't come back
I'm gonna miss the show ans the premiere threads they were really funHope they get to work on another project
This really feels like an April Fools joke, but they're a month early.
>>152628482It amazes me how there are people who take things like a creator ending a show on their own terms so personally. Like what do they want, Smiling Friends to become a zombie show just so that Zach can arbitrarily prove he can show up to collect a paycheck?
>Makes 4x the episodes of Smiling Friends on his own before burning out when that was considered being a bumTime to apologize
>>152628542Probably because it was Sony putting up the most money. Each episode of Boondocks was around 1-1.5m but adult swim only had to pay 400k an episode to license it
>>152628552Poor girl will be left without a job now
>>152628548It's because Sick Animation works on Smiling Friends awhile HYC was inspired by his work [without him involved].
>>152628241STICKY!!
>>152628562Nice fanfiction
All good things must come to an end.
>>152628575no correlation whatsoever
>>152628409Cope. Screaming Friends is shit.
Wtf does Adult Swim have left? They're fucked after the Netflix merger.
>>152628566nuh uh i'm already at season 2 he did come back liar liar pants on fire
>>152628241They just couldn’t do it without the Cool Autistic Gamer. He was the glue keeping the show together.
>>152628596They're gonna try to beg them to at least pull a robot chicken and make yearly specials
>>152628241Good. It’s fandom was beyond retarded and they don’t deserve nice things.
Ironic shitposting aside. I hope this inspires more TV executives to expand their reach more and reach out to Newgrounds creators
>>152628590Kys, subhuman troon
>>152628568Michael will, but Zach exhausted his entire library of jokes on Smiling Friends. He's going to go crawling back to OneyPlays and just coast off it forever.
>>152628612Can't wait for the LS Mark cartoon to hit television!
>>152628241NOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>152628596Primal
>>152628573Most SF episodes didn't have enough material to even end properly. They were running out of ideas fast
>>152628241I'm going to kill myslef
>>152628612>The Newgrounds creators claim they are burned out and are abandoning their hit show after a small amount of episodes making the corporate lose outThis probably ends the chances of Newgrounds creators getting shows
So will it just end in an uneventful note like any other episodic comedy?
>>152628632yeah duh, what is there to wrap up?
It’s okay guys Zach’s just taking time off to help Chris work on Bowlbo
Damn, oh well. Anybody wanna post final tier lists?
>>152628621He has gotten so fat no one should be offering him any work.
>nooooooo why are you making me workAwwww, they ran out of references and cameos.
>Creators burn out after only 26 episodes>11 min episodes at thatThis is genuinely insane
>>152628241Nah, this ain't real. They got greenlit for two more seasons and they're not mentioning that. It's not over, this is just an announcement for the two episodes coming up.
>>152628596AS is probably gonna go on a greenlighting spree to make up for a lack of Smiling Friends or commission Zach and Cusacks new studio for some new shit
Will this show end up being forgotten??
>>152628241Guess they hate money unlike Thomas Asstuck.
>>152628392is that a fake tooth or your real toothwtf
>>152628651Nice cope
>>152628655They’re also the No. 1 show on Adult Swim so unless this is about a pay dispute they just come off as lazy
>>152628241It was an honor. At least we won't see it reach Pickle Rick levels of obnoxiousness.
>>152628596make a deal with glitch and air knights of guinevere
>>152628649Mark's decline is genuinely depressing>Married a cheating whore >Go from kinda cute autistic think to a fat doughy guy with shitty hairI don't see how it gets worse unless Veronica divorcerapes him
>newgrounds animators when they have to animate
>>152628664Is this a fake polite mocking?
Better to die a hero than live as a villain
>>152628659Riddle me this then, Batman. Why did they announce that they're ending the show after Season 3?
>>152628674People are going to suck their dicks and call them based anyway for "not selling out", so it's whatever.
>>152628687Yes anon
>>152628241They're graduating?
honestly, this is a good outcome, they won't become the next rick and morty or god forbid a simpsons or family guy situation
one note fucking creators they can't come up with anything else to do with what they had?
Didn't zach and michael just open an animation studio for this show? Would indicate more than anything that they're already working on something else unless they're shutting that down as well.
>>152628687I'm pretty sure that's AI.
>>152628672>copeThe show fucking ended due to “burnout” there is no cope.
>>152628241This is the right way. I don't want to see this show become Rick and Morty more than it already has. It's based to go out on top on your own choice. Imagine being offered tons of money and not taking it because you're honorable.
>>152628655Should have gotten a writers room. Even Matt and Trey have one (many season 1-3 episodes have co-writers that aren't Trey)They could have filled it with newgrounds guys
>>152628679>make a deal with glitchCould happen > and air knights of guinevereLol
>>152628684Shut up, cuck
>>152628696I mean is that really a serious concern? The show is 3 years old, they have decades before it turns into Family Guy 2.
>>152628241they could have made more seasons if they didnt speed up so much shit whats the matter coulnt milk internet culture,chanology and rip off Dan the Hymen Divider Schneider anymore?
>smiling troons are screeching alreadyNot very smiley of you
great, more damo and darren
I wonder if they will do something new with a fresh idea and setup in the future
>>152628698Yeah and it was only last october
They basically made 1.5 seasons and gave up lol
>>152628711>gifBice of you to admit being a retard
I know they wanted to end it before it got stale but geezthis feels really early
>>152628667You calling me fake nigger?
>Showruns Tiny Toon Adventures, Taz-Mania, Batman: The Animated Series, Animaniacs, Pinky and the Brain, Freakazoid, Road Rovers, and Histeria within about the timespan this show was developed and aired >No burnout due to running out of ideas for Chris Chan cameos
>>152628716who the fuck is that
>>152628647>First Halloween special at S tier when it's easily the worst one>Gwimbly at C>Hell episode only at B when it should be an AI don't get your taste. This is a strange ranking to me
>>152628612>Willingly stopping your money printing machine at its height of popularityanon executives don't like that. I would bet Adult Swim was rock hard for Glep plushie money.
>>152628687No my boy.
>>152628552She deserved better.
>>152628705I said Knights because that's the next upcoming show from Glitch. TADC is almost over and it goes to netflix, Gaslight is probably over a year away, Gamoverse's pilot isn't even out yet.
>>152628712You are the troon>>152628725Nobody cares, you homo
>what if we did a bit where there's awkwardly placed rotoscope... no we already did that 3 times last episode>what if we had a small creature run really fast... nah that happened in the last 5>what if there was a realistic awkward dialogue exchange... hmm we did that already too...>fuck dude you wanna just stop?thats how i imagine it went
Imagine being a parasocial fan of Zach fucking HadelCouldn’t be me!
>>152628241>talk shit about your forever-living contemporaries and get cold feet right afterThat would be the biggest pussy move possible so I have to believe there’s something they’re not mentioning.
>>152628492For what? I like both, having them back to back was a treat.
I bet I could make an entire season by just picking random Simpsons and Family Guy episodes and merging them together and replacing the jokes with Smiling Friends humor.
>>152628596at least they still got shitty rick and morty seasons without the original creator nobody is watching
>>152628708To me, this reads less as "We don't want to become a zombie show" and more that they put their all into this show in the beginning and ran out of steam and they don't want to put out a show they aren't putting their best into. I personally felt like they had at least one more season in them, but if that's how they're feeling that's how it goes
>>152628241>The Glep Ep is the series finaleAwful way to end the show
>get burnout>they burnt out>AAAAIIIIEEE IM BURNED OUT>before burning out>they are burned out>burn out>“burnout”>burnout
>>152628703Trey and Matt loathe the stuff they made with other people as co-writers
>>152628762I don't know. It's really hard for me to feel bad about it because this just feels...weird. No one gives when they're on top of the world.
>>152628619People will carry the jokes over, and troll him in the chat by claiming he'll threaten to quit streaming over losing one game
>>152628647
how do we know this isn't an early aprils fool fuckery
>>152628596Do you think that whole business with Netflix had to do something with it? >Okay we're merging with Netflix because the higher ups ran the company into the ground, also they want to make pim funko pops
>>152628767There's two more episodes at April 12th. They also said they didn't rule out returning to the show.So basically, the cycle of Family Guy.
>>152628655haha you clowns was able to make 10 episode seasons. why was it so fucking hard for smiling friends?
>>152628752i hate the realistic dialogues so much it's insane how much it ruins the jokes in season 3
Good riddance. It was never good and I feel vindicated for pointing out how its premise wouldn't work as a series. >>152628752kek
>>152628483KEK
FIVE MORE SEASONS OF PRIMAL CONFIRMED>>152628783desu you don't have to feel bad but you also don't gotta feel angry or annoyed either
>>152628776>retarded looking muzzle and theeth Shit
why are the two unreleased episodes being aired nearly two months after this announcement and not like, a week from now
>>152628792>haha you clownsSlop for retards
>Charlie and Pim time travel>Charlie and Pim go to school>Charlie and Pim join the military>Charlie and Pim become movie stars>Charlie and Pim get addicted to drugs>Charlie and Pim go to New Yorkboom, here's your million dollar season three Zach and Mike, hit me up
Two more seasons would have been fine. At this point people clearly want more and this just reeks of cowardice from them. >Uh what if it turns into SLOP and people online are MEAN and say UH is this still going The pathetic insecurity of it, as if Charlie himself was speaking lol
>>152628687What if it is?
>>152628805because
>>152628651>Anons badger on for years how they want the show to go away>The show ends>Hah! We won! Victory lap!Yeah sure they read your comments and called it quits
>>152628798Stfu, you seething tranny
>>152628716The third Smiling Friend
>>152628241Well, at least the final elisode was a good one. Jolly Good Show
don’t worry goys, we’ll give the budget to rick and morty for more hilarious incest jokes
>>152628818they said themselves that they were fully finished
THIS IS HOW WE GET YOLO SEASON 4
>>152628801Aside from primal what else is there?
>>152628813Unironic what chronically online does to the fucking brain.
>>152628805Time slots on tv are planned months ahead and are very rigid
they were saying 5 seasons a little while ago I guess they worked themselves to the point where it was like "nah man we're done"
well this fucking sucks
David Willis, Carey Means, Andy Merrill would fucking kill to keep making ATHF or SG and have a job and these faggots are too tired after 25 11 minute episodes released over 5 years.
Is Haha, You Clowns okay?
>>152628742>>First Halloween special at S tier when it's easily the worst oneI love it, the first time I watched it, I thought all the buildup of tension was gonna be a fakeout, so the forest demon genuinely surprised me. One of my favorite sequences in the show. >>Gwimbly at CI don't dislike it or anything, I just don't think it's that memorable outside of a couple jokes like Gwimbly's Iconic Victory Dance.>>Hell episode only at B when it should be an AI could definitely be talked into moving that one up a tier. You should do your own list.
>>152628805A lot of weird questions surrounding this. I'm reminded of Gawr Gura's graduation and how there was clearly some backstage drama going on.
Did the coomers win?
Gonna miss it so much
well this is fucking awesome
Okay well who is Adult Swim/Turner/Netflix giving money to now because this was their one show that was churning a profit
>he wonAPOLOGIZE
>>152628805It was probably meant for april fools (or will air on april fools) so do not keep your hopes up for actual final episodes
>>152628662Yes.
>>152628788Right? It just sounds like there's a joke coming and that's not me coping. Zach and Michael's cadence in the video is in joke mode
>>152628833For some reason, I always remembered this tweet as saying "I mean, you didn't really think we'd kill of Brian, did you? What're you, high?"
>>152628855Nope
>>152628830Well there's
>>152628843Renewed for two more seasons
>>152628858me. i'm making a very funny secret cartoon.
>>152628662It was relying on memes and cameosOf course it will
>>152628860FUCK
Do you think it's because they saw the Cool Autistic Gamer 774 clips?
>>152628858Was it, though?>no merch>no crossover material>only seems known by the terminally onlineLegit I've never once heard anyone IRL mention SF
>>152628241This is clearly a bit where they're just going to rename the series. This is some "YOLO: Crystal Fantasy is only one season" type shit.
>>152628241Damn, they really called it quits that early. Oh well.The execs must be furious. I think that show was pulling numbers and buzz almost as well as prime Rick & Morty. I wouldn't be surprised if Adult Swim was aiming to tap into it just like R&M but now that's out the window.
>>152628805Two finished episodes for a S4 that the guys tapped out on before completing, probably
>>152628642The cool autistic gamer
>>152628520Zach and Michael have talked at length about the process they go through making the show. They're coordinating between the US and Australia, which means they both end up working unusual hours. Both of them are involved at every single stage of the creative process, it's not like other shows where the creators will write a script, draw a couple rough character designs, or come in just to voice the characters. Zach and Michael are directly involved with writing, storyboarding, animating, and voice acting the whole show. They even coordinate hiring one off contractors for individual episodes. They're both way more involved in Smiling Friends than Dave Willis was in ATHF, than Matt Groening ever was in The Simpsons, than Mike Judge was in anything but the earliest Beavis and Butthead shorts, and way more than Seth MacFarlane has ever been in any of his shows. No one has ever run a show like Smiling Friends before. Not even Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon were so involved with the particulars of Rick and Morty. And Michael Cusack himself also was not this involved in YOLO. It's no wonder they would make so few episodes per season and it's no wonder they got burnt out on it at this point.If Smiling Friends does come back after a couple years, it's going to be fundamentally different somehow, Michael would probably have to move to the US, and both he and Zach would have to learn to scale back their involvement to just the writing, storyboarding and voice acting phases of the process. They way they've been doing it has been very clearly unsustainable from the start and it's finally caught up to them.Zach will probably disappear completely for at least a year before he starts turning up on OneyPlays again, and Michael will probably find another Australian cartoon to throw his weight behind in a much smaller capacity.
>>152628241Respectable but I'm disappointed at the lack of a dedicated series finale
>>152628847>show died the second a female character started being associated with it, not even an official one, just a female character and that's itNot really.
>>152628841The old Adult Swim vanguard had work ethic because they didn’t have the luxury of instant gratification from the internet. Doc Hammer was physically dying and he still came into the recording booth and wrote his scripts.
>>152628241I'm not the only one who feels like this a joke, right?
>>152628879They probably saw Dolly and absolutely did not want to encourage more of that.
>>152628774Seasons 1-3 are underrated imo
>>152628885>I wouldn't be surprised if Adult Swim was aiming to tap into it just like R&M but now that's out the window.I find it kinda funny that Adult Swim trying to make money off a popular show is treated as some evil deed. Very few people seem to know how business works.
Not gonna lie, getting burnout after only 25 11-minute episodes is kinda wild.That's like getting burnout after a single season of a typical show, and only a 12 episode season at that.
>>152628888Seth was pretty involved in pre cancellation family guy
>>152628902>Adult Swim trying to make money off a popular show is an evil deedYep, that's correct
>burning out from going "yeah yeah um ok yeah yeah" for 3 seasonsGood riddance
>>152628846Pedo
>>152628888>Both of them are involved at every single stage of the creative process, it's not like other shows where the creators will write a script, draw a couple rough character designs, or come in just to voice the characters. Zach and Michael are directly involved with writing, storyboarding, animating, and voice acting the whole show.damn no wonder they burnt outshould have just scripted/storyboarded and voice acted
>>152628899I still swear that dolly is an injoke made by the team
This is such an obvious April Fools stunt and I can’t believe so many people are believing Zach, the king of gaslighting.
>>152628912Nope>>152628915Seethe
>>152628798I'm curious. Why don't you think the premise worked?
>>152628703No show has ever gotten better from a writing room. The majority of truly great shows had a consistent writer or duo of writers.>Every episode of Ed Edd N Eddy was written by Antonucci and Jono Howard>Every Venture Bros ep was written by Doc and Jackson, with the exception of an episode written by Jackson's mentor>Every Aqua Teen was written by Dave and Matt>Every Boondock was written by McGruder>Every KND was written by Warburton and Mo Willems (until Willems left after Season 4)>Every Golden age Tom and Jerry was written by H&BThe only thing a writers room does is dilute the creativity. It's best to quit while you're ahead
>>152628925Disprove it
>>152628920Stfu, you moralfag
>>152628924Bro we're not even in March, this is one hell of an April Fools stunt if that's true
Frowning CHADS won.
>>152628241Michael continues to churn out Yolo for AS. Something is up here, the idea that they both want to drop Smiling Friends when they were already approved for at least 2 more seasons.
Move over Zach and Michael... IT'S TIME FOR YOTAM AND MAX
>>152628930>anon finds out about head writers
I get why they're ending the show. You can only do so much with "lol randumn" humor until you run out of ideas or it gets stale. Robot Chicken worked because it was a skit format + limitless potential of characters and actors to use for said skits.
>>152628924if it is im going to eat a shoe
>>152628924>This is such an obvious April Fools stunt and I can’t believe so many people are believing Zach, the king of gaslighting.
>>152628931You are gay
>>152628596>They're fucked after the Netflix merger.Well, if the Netflix merger goes through, Cartoon Network Studios/WB Animation would become a separate entity from the Cartoon Network/Adult Swim linear channels. So Warner would stop making decisions on what shows to greenlit purely based on what Adult Swim needs. So presumably any adult animated series you see from Warner are for Netflix or are DC.I actually think the Paramount merger would be considerably worse for Adult Swim though. Because the new company would be indebted as hell and they might think AS as a whole is redundant with Paramount already owning Comedy Central.

>>152628647>Wtf does Adult Swim have left? They're fucked after the Netflix merger.
Part of me is fine with them ending the show before it goes to shit and trying new things, but part of me REALLY hopes this is an elaborate Apeil Fools joke. At least that the last two episodes are a proper finale of sorts.
>>152628902Nah I don't think it's evil to whore out your original - especially when the iron is hot and the product is popular with the average joe. [as] has done way worse shit.
>>152628632It ended with a flashback to how Mr Boss started smiling friends thanks to Glep. Pretty fitting actually even if unintentional.
>mr frog story ends>show endsI cant believe no one saw it coming
>>152628930All those shows had a number of stinkers after a while anyway.
>>152628241>ending with 2 of your 3 seasons being mediocrewow this sure went nowhere

>>152628928>HAHA SILLY ANIMATION, THATS A JOKE RIGHT?>OH OFFENSIVE HUMOR CAN FIX A BAD SCRIPT >ERM NIHILISM IS ACTUALLY BAD GUYS
>>152628936Yeah, it’s building up to it. If it was closer it’d be too obvious.
>>152628936Big April Fools stunts take time and planning to make
>>152628921The only show that comes close to what Smiling Friends has done is early South Park. And that doesn't really compare properly, because the animation and character design was so much more limited on South Park. Trey and Matt never had to worry about so many small details, and they were at least always working in the same place at the same time.
>>152628930Simpsons
>>152628930KND? Seriously? Come on, it's just a pretty average Cartoon Network show
>>152628241Zach definitely got epstein'd around the time he met up with Greighning and wanted no part in that shit. Good for him
>>152628952He's an unfunny failure.
>>152628952I still like him
>>152628960
>>152628241Good.The show was fine even if the guys that made it were never really funny, so it's better to end it on a high note rather than keep going.

>>152628956They literally said in an interview they did And I forget the exact name, I think it was the unknown something regardless. They said that they intended every season ending to be like a. The actual ending for the show Because they couldn't count on season one being. Greenlit for a continuation.
>>152628968Nice seething
They're just going to get another show with a similar premise greenlit, but this time with Oney and maybe Corey/Harry on board. It'll be something like Cusack's Crocodile and Cube.
Show was already losing it's edge and the R&M comparisons got to them lmao
>>152628984They’re are funny
zach would unironically never make a joke after saying "this is not a joke or a bit"its over
>>152628844>I love it, the first time I watched it, I thought all the buildup of tension was gonna be a fakeout, so the forest demon genuinely surprised me. One of my favorite sequences in the show.Same
>>152629002Chris can’t even finish that shitty platformer he started 7 years ago that doesn’t even have a demo out
>>152628989>Final episode ends with Charlie debating Pim and gets acked in the neck by Mr. Boss
Rick and Morty once again takes another AS show to Purgatory
Glad they get to end the show on their own terms and I know they've always said that's what they want to do but it feels like a bad impulsive decision. I don't believe they're tapped out of ideas after just three seasons either.
Bros... The kikes won. We should've voted for the dumb brown woman. Why didn't we listen...
Rick and morty fucking won
>>152628531>>152628304>>152628672>>152628287Nice arrest
This is why Newground animators are and will always be faggots>WHAT DO YOU MEAN I GOT SCHEDULES AND DEADLINES?! AHHHHH I WANTED IT TO TAKE 3 YEARS!!
>>152629002I am a little surprised that the whole drawing series they didn't hasn't led up to them announcing a cartoon like how micheal and Zach did with the very positive stream to be honestI don't think most people would care if oney gave up on bowlbo or just worked on it forever like how mewgenics was made
Can we discuss just how short shows are now the last half decade?They are often getting 10 or less 30-minute episodes a season, many shows only one seasons. Some seasons are going down to 3 episodes now which is barely a show.I remember a decade ago people were noting how screwed over Legend of the Three Caballeros was for having a single 13 episode season. Pretty much every cartoon now has shorter seasons then that. Smiling Friends was very successful and is going to end with less episodes+minutes of content then that.
>>152628241They won.
>>152629038But enough about The Venture Bros.
>>152629038Ok, corpocuck
>>152629045Studios don't believe there's money in animation
>>152628925Eeyup>>152628998Nice going to bed
BRING BACK BALLMASTRZ YOU FUCKSYOU HAVE NO EXCUSE NOT TO NOW
>>152628991Classic Simpsons still holds up as great television and had one of the strongest writers rooms. It sucks now because it's been on for 40 fucking yearsSouth Park may be written by Trey but has still entered zombie mode and should have ended at season 10. Maybe 13 at most
>>152629018You don't have to do shit as a producer/co-creator but spitball ideas and bits to have your name plastered next to the title. If anything, Zach owes Chris that much considering how many bits from his show they used, but I'm being a little facetious when I say that.
Eh, kind of a shame.Charlie's girlfriend was never hot
>>152628994>>152629030NHH

>>152628596the homestuck tv show will be real in 53 motherfucking seconds
>>152629063Shut up, Boco.
>>152629045at this point i wouldn't consider them seasons anymore. 10 episodes and having to wait for two years for another batch is ludicrous. Networks changed for the worse and animation is getting more expensive.
>>152628751Cared enough to reply, you normie.
>>152629069Boohoo nigga
>>152629045>22 x 13 = 286>11 x 25 = 275I think there are two more episodes for Smiling Friends so it'll have more minutes in the end but yeesh.
>>152629067He deleted all his stuff after this then said he was a liberal on Sleepycast. He got scared away.
>>152629018Chris wasn't contributing anything to Bowlbo except the rigged 3D models, environment design, and the story. He was strictly an artist who hired a development team to actually make the game part for him. The people he hired turned out to be totally incompetent and he ditched them. And he's lost interest in the project since then because no one else approached to pick the project up. It's just entirely cancelled, and it has been for like five years at this point.
>Alex Hirsch>Zach and MichaelWhat do they have in common? That's right, they're people who think you have to end a show as soon as possible or else that means it goes on forever, there's no happy middle ground. They only think in absolutes.
Kek they didn't even tell the show staff in advance, they got fucked over
>>152629067Ethnostates are bad.
>>152629008No. The guys were always obnoxious faggots, so it was surprising that this show was actually decent.
>>152628818>sprigatito real evolution before november 2022

>>152628949No, but you are
>>152628612I'm actually hoping they don't. None of them seem to be able to keep an ongoing show afloat longer than a season or two. I really don't know how you get burnout after 25 episodes to be frank.
>>152629067Maybe whites should fuck better. Seems like a skill issue to me.
>>152629086Ending a show as soon as possible would be after a single episode retard.

>>152628706Make me, hothead
Show was done when they literally hired a tranny to work on it lol
>>152628885I don’t think Smiling Friends ever quite broke into the normiesphere. It probably got as close as you can without doing so. Enough people talking about it on twitter and it obviously being a ratings success, but no sizable merchandise or coworker awareness like Rick and Morty.
>>152629087This makes me think this is a bit( I mean you would be more entitled to be fucking pissed online), but I guess the more important question would be for any body celebrating, what happens it comes back?
>>152629087They sure got fucked over by being random internet nobodies with the most successful cartoon of the 2020s on their portfolio
This exposed the shit outta Newgrounds animators.
interesting that we are finally seeing the term "greenlight" manifest in its literal meaning. That just means they COULD make a new season, not that they have to. Just like real life green lights.
>>152629101You are
>>152629088Unironically yes. Japan is one and they have one of the highest sucide rates. They are not happy.
>>152629107Enjoy getting raped lol
>>152629087>A bunch of animators were probably banking on this being semi stable employment considering the season 4 and 5 renewal >Creators end the show before season 3 is fucking finished I'd be pissed
>>152629108You take my post literally and then you call me a retard?
>>152629087If the staff didn't even fucking know then this show got cancelled. There is so much more to this story and i think Zach and Michael are just trying to keep a positive spin on the announcement so they can get future work.
>>152628896Jackson Publick was the director of the show, so when he wasn't writing with Doc he was helping create storyboards, coordinate with Korean animation teams, and helping be a voice director for the cast on top of actually voice acting 50% of the show.
>>152629120Portfolios mean fuck all in this job market
>>152629086I'm not saying that they're correct to believe that, because if anything, that's retarded. However, you really can only do a concept for so long And I'm sure Zach and Michael have plenty of new ideas. I mean, Michael did like, what, four shows in the span of the last 10 years, too Give it another 10 years and I bet Michael will do another four shows or something and Zach will only have made maybe one.
>Zach got Justin Roiland work as TheCoolAutisticGamer774>Now he's jobless againkeep an eyes open at your local barcade he might be down in the dumps
>>152629087>Lots of employees are legit fucked over, have no jobs in the worst animation job market in history, and are not even told they are fired until twitter/4chan posts about itBut it is ok the Oneyplays guys will not feel burned out for making 50 minutes of content a year anymore : )

>>152629131You are
>>152629145Fuck off
>>152628896ThisDespite the long gaps, Doc and Jackson were making 8-16 half hour episodes a season with no other writers. Jackson did a lot of artwork for the show, some episodes he boarded on. Doc edited the series
>>152629119I'm pretty sure this bit would be a actionable in civil court at this point.
>>152629165kek what a KWAB
>>152629168>They've consistently cared about their staff, they wouldn't drop a bomb like this without telling them.Lol you do not know how sociopaths work
>>152629162My theory is that they probably saw the writing on the wall with WB being bought by either Paramount or Netflix and they didn't want the show to be affected by that.
>>152629087If true Zach and Michael are assholes.
>>152629168This would still be a bomb even if this was a bit.
>>152629162Zach went into a psychotic episode from using non prescribed medication when he was hanging out with Matt groaning and attacked micheal

This place is full of salty faggots holy shit
schizo thread already? damn
>>152629135Your hyperbolic implication that ending a show after 2 or 3 seasons is "as soon as possible" is just as retarded as if you were being literal.

>>152629087>>152629120When you get greenlit for S4 and S5, talk about how an S5 is the perfect spot to end it, not too short but not too played out, etc and then leave all of that on the table to say hey fuck you 2 more eps and we're gone, yeah I'd be pissed too. That's this nigger's biggest paycheck for the next 2-3 years gone up in smoke

fucking APOLOGIZE TO ALEX HIRSCH
Okey, /co/ bros, what stage are you at?
>>152628241Damn it, I posted in the lesser-used thread. To reiterate:It's sudden and sad, but really interesting. it felt like they were just getting into their groove and finding their footing, the ambition was picking up especially with that halloween episode. but i respect it. adult swim told them if they don't feel like continuing it's fine and won't force it, they can end it or come back later if they ever wanted to. that's admirable too knowing the network. people can mock the show all they want, i didn't care for multiple episodes personally, but i do think "leaving them wanting more" is applicable, it was in that room that felt like they were slowly growing and obviously lots of people still liked it, it never reached that "well-agreed this sucks now" phase from general consensus.rip, i was honestly intrigued to see where they'd go. a couple fun episodes a season was fine for me because i'm already hard to please. it's nice to just be able to feel some respect for both the creators and the network for once.
>>152629146Unironically yes.If you claim to be a Jewish homeland, then sterilize black Jews without their knowledge or consent, you've lost any moral high ground.
>>152629162Zach's still seething about the Simpsons diss and killed the show cause his idols don't like him.
>>152629175Also Venture Brothers is just funnier and higher quality than Smiling Friends. Don't care what parasocial freak is gonna (You) me.
>>152629182Nope
>>152629087I genuinely feel bad for the animation staff. The market is not getting any better and this looked like it could have given them a few years of employment. That and they did great work on a low budget
>>152629218>sick animation for midwest band kids who write "just a goober" as their biokill me

>>152629248You are ESL. Be silent.
>>152629223Interesting, I felt the show was losing steam in S3
>>152629136If it were cancelled then why would they make a whole song and dance auditory announcement about it rather than just leaving at a press release?
This board is just all schizos now huh?
>>152629252>Whoa Zoey Mr. Frog friggin pissed on you? That's an honor, did you like save any of it?FTFY
>>152629118It wasn't as big, but it was shaping up to be another adult swim original that got people to tune in (or at least stream it.)I don't think anything in their current line-up comes close.
It's time.
>>152629218
>>152629253Chris is actually a huge asshole, and you can tell by how all his stories are about other people who he hates or he claims hates him. I wouldn't want to be within 100 yards of the guy
>>152629248people here hate Alex for this same reason by the wayso no , zack and the other retard are faggots
Well it was a very shitty season with 1 good episode that was a glorified robot chicken parody.They just not good enough for the big leagues, stick to youtube pals. At least you are safe from criticism there.
Looks like Zombie Spear will live another dayDoes adult swim have anything else that could compete with Smiling Friends? Haha you Clowns is good but I don't see it becoming very popular beyond a niche thing. That Rick and Morty President Spin off is going to be mediocre at best. I can see them trying to bring back aqua teen again or even Robot Chicken
I've noticed that a lot of internet animators particularly have perfectionism and an autistic drive to always be improving which ends up hampering their ability to create things that people actually like. I respect quitting while you're ahead, especially if they just didnt want to work on the show anymore, but people are just going to go back to watching slop anyway.
>>152629273Ok retard lmao
>>152629238You didn’t watch Women Wearing Shoulder Pads
>>152629267Zach's come a long way from this newgrounds derpface humor. Chris not so muchI still cringe at how funny teenage me thought this shit was
>>152629267Now THIS show 100% would have gone to shit after like 4 episodes if it was greenlit. No way in hell would a young Zach and Chris be able to keep up with it.
>>152629273I mean, I like Chris's cartoons but I wouldn't want to be friends with the guyWhy the fuck are you think about that when you look at ecelebs?
>>152629261I'd argue 50% of S2 and S3 were weak. Nothing in S2 was as funny as its first episode. 3 didn't even have that going for it because the first episode was meh.
>>152629267Chris is a lazy faggot and is just a glorified Let's Player now. He'd rather die than forced to actually work a job at this point.
What the fuck am I supposed to watch now, there's literally nothing else that isn't for tumblr queers.
>>152629264What board isn't? /po/
>>152629218i swear i remember charls trying to make a cars show with nick on adult swim lol
>>152629281>152629286
they quit without telling their animation team there is drama here , maybe some chud is getting cancelled
>>152629223was this a jab at Mariofags claiming movie!Peach is a bad character compared to how Peach is in the games (a useless damsel in distress)?

>>152629286>derpfaceAnd moaning, don't forget moaning.
>>152628241Well, they made me smile. Thanks guys.
>>152629278The only funny bit in that episode was the Norwood scale
I'm friends with one of the animators and they said Zach and Michael had a huge falling out over Michael having a thing with Zach's girlfriend. Then the simpsons thing happened and that was Zach's final straw.
>>152629248Turned into slop with S3
>>152629286Miserable faggot
>>152629299Anon, nobody cares about Zach's tweetsHell, it feels like /co/ wants Zach canceled more than Twitter
>>152628392Damn
>>152629301it's a funny edit someone did, not actually in the episode sadly since it's a funny visual joke. but at least it's one less political thing for people to contest.
>>152629226Venture Bros past season one suffers major Cerberus Syndrome It's not even fucking funny Hell, even when I think back on it in season two, there's a noticeably higher amount of ""jokes"" that are just two characters talking verbosely while (albeit very well done) annoying music stings Continue to play in the background.

>>152629343The new season wasn’t good. Matt should bring back 12 oz mouse tho.
killing a show with the least ugly art style for a new ugly show. i swear all these streaming services and mergers are the reason why animation is dead in america. so many cancelled pitches or pilots happened inbetween negotiations
>>152629344NO! Smiling Friends is OVER!
my dad works at Adult Swim and he said Zach and Chris eat live human babies
>>152629334>who the fuck would want her?Stamper and Mick apparently. That was actually the cause of Stamper's drug addiction. He had a written suicide note it got so bad. Corey shares her on weekends.
>>152629344No, my night is ruined.
>>152629349Already did, it got cancelled a second time.
>>152629274Nice deflection
>>152629349>Matt should bring back 12 oz mouse thohe did, like three times now I think>new season wasn’t goodbento box eps were dogshit yah, but the "donk" ones were aight
>>152629317If you're gonna watch Venture Bros, you're kind of going to be watching it for its Cerberus Syndrome. The scope creep and introduction of new ideas and characters is admirable to me, especially considering it's usually stuck with and not abandoned and forgotten on a whim.
>>152629343One of the funniest things to me is when a music track is unedited while vocals and sound freak the fuck out like this. I can't explain it and there's a Die Another Day clip on this channel that does exactly that & makes me laugh without fail.
>>152629264>nowat least every single fucking topic has the dedicated poopdickschizo assigned to it for the past couple years. I don't know how, why or when it got so bad but it's fucking bad. every other poster is a parasocial neurotic now that thinks everyone else is instead, you can see it with people saying canceling the show without telling the crew seems out of character for the show runners and at least three different people who have a personal psychological profile built from several decades of social media posts, newgrounds comments podcasts and fucking oneyplays episodes will diagnose Zach as a twisted fucking psychopath then call you the obsessed one. this applies almost the same for nearly every other fucking property on this board and to an extent this whole fucking site now
>>152629274>people here hate Alex for this same reason by the wayPlenty of reasons to hate Alex, and this one is the most retarded.

>>152629339I mean its OK to disagree but. You can't deny the fact that it went from. Wacky adventure comedy. Straight into. We need to get really serious about this gay GI Joe Knockoff Organization. And Legion of Doom parody
>>152629344Ehhh... I would have liked more but this season wasn't a home run for me personally, like the moleman episode and silly Samuel I just didn't click with I can live with this, better to have less but good episodes than more but shit ones I'll be okay, or at least as okay as I can mentally achieve
>>152629392yo, one time I sucked six in a row
>>152629338Are you having a bad day or something?
I can respect the idea behind it but they really couldn't do more than 6 hours of content before burning out?
>>152629305This is the same anon who RP's having pissed soaked diapers on /trash/ btwJust look at the name
>>152629351Primal is good looking
>>152628797The realistic dialogue was kinda fun initially because it was subversive but when it becomes the shows main bit and they do it in every episode it loses any charm it had
>>152629387You can tell Zach is TERRIFIED of Smiling Friends becoming a zombie show that lasted too long. Simpsons and Family Guy have scarred him for life.
This is why Newsground animators are not in hollywood. Lazy fucks.
>>152629340Not to correct you but I've been on this site since I was 8 After I watched pony thread simulators on Youtube When they still had the Mario 2 music Talking about coming inside Rainbow DashAnd I'm shocked. Maybe it's because I work in retail and so there's really nothing to talk about except gay Bug person gossip.
>>152628241I fully respect this decision. It's much better to end a show on a high note instead of making zombie seasons.
>>152628241Thank goodness, the show has been canceled. It had an ugly art style.
>>152629396are you autistic?
>>152629410heaven forbid a man has hobbies
>>152629391Cope
>>152629262Because Michael still makes shows with Adult Swim and Zach probably wants to keep it friendly for future opportunities. Shows cancelled, They make a short video announcing it that makes it seem like it was their decision and AS are super cool with them backing down on what they agreed to for season 4 and 5. Everyone saves face.
>>152629283I feel this has to stem from the years and years of them bitching about other creations openly so when they FINALLY get the chance to make something big on a network or whatever, they have this autist paranoia about it.
Oh so now this board is fast
keep in mind aqua teen had like 80 episodes in it's first four seasons made in a similar timeframe to smiling friendsaqua teen also was written basically exclusively by Matt Maiellaro and Dave Willis unlike smiling friends having different writers for each episodelike im not saying "DAMN YOU GUYS FUCKING SUCK" but at least we got 3 good seasons unlike rick and morty having one good season and then like 1 or 2 good episodes in the 7 seasons following it
>>152629404yeah that's the shitty part. It didn't have to be a Rick & Morty corpse with 9 seasons promised 3000 years ago, they just had to do the 5 they said they'd do.
I hope the truth comes out eventually and those girls can find the justice they deserve.
>>152629419Good, you pushover cuck
>>152629339Imagine piss off ayy>>152629427Are you?
>>152628552The only bright side of them ending Smiling Friends is that this incredibly forced mid waifushit will die with it.
>>152629437Hey we still have Death Battle and Toonami threads
They probably saw the Reddit fanfic about the boys going to a furry convention and decided to end the show right there.

I can't believe Smiling Friends fucking graduated
>>152629454Not worthy.
>>152629454Mods only sticky bad news.
>>152629468/co/ won't ever admit it but it's clear Smiling Friends is the only modern cartoon they truly care about.
who's the autist leaving 1 word replies to every disparaging post
>>152629468Fapping to cartoons.
>>152629480Wrong
Zach raped me and I threatened to go public with it. They paid me to keep quiet for a couple of months, but it's all gonna be out there when the show ends.
>>152628241That's kinda lame. If these 3 season are what we will ever have to judge Smiling Friends, then I guess the show was never a big deal. Not saying that what we got was bad, but I feel like everyone was waiting for smiling friends to give us that 10/10 episode that would make it a classic forever, instead I don't think people will remember it in 5 years, and you can't even blame the corpos for it now. Trully the potential man of T.V.
>>152629468Lurking or posting on other boards.I don't give a fuck about any cartoons besides this, Primal, and Space King because I'm not a homosexual.
>>152629436>autist paranoiaIt's not really paranoia when it's true, but only a small chunk of the guys who were actually aware of their existence pre-oneyplays would criticize them on that, since they did shit on family guy, brickleberry, drawn together and so on for "lazy writing" any chance they could get back then. But the normalfag/underage portion of the fanbase (iow 99.9%) would just blindly defend the show if they spotted any criticism.
It's amazing you can tell which posters are which by them using the same fucking quotes and phrases over and over
>>152629459>>152629444>We're going to finish what Jared startedJesus they're posting leaks on twitter and goddamn it's haunting
>>152629368i mean, it was the first of its kind, so to be 100% fair, I'm not shitting on it for that at all. I'm just saying as someone who watched every single episode of The Venture Bros when I was in middle school to get Excited for that season where they go to New York. I don't remember what off the top of my head. It was just like, painfully. Clear to me that it maybe wasn't. Built with those kind of legs to stand on, you know what I mean? That said, I think they did the ending well. With what they were given. They should have been given another hour, though.
>>152628241Yah there's probably more happening here than they're letting on?If I were to make a wild guess, I'd say that somebody made a call that the season would have issues after seeing the writing and pre-prod work. It was either Zach + Michael or some other person at Adult Swim was flagging issues.They realized they weren't confident they could fix the season even if they started over, so they decided to end the show.
>>152629439ATHF is a show that doesn't have to consider animation. It's literally just PNGs sliding around with some after effects added later. Nothing wrong with that, but SF had more going on.
>>152629489He's been shitting up the board for a year now, all he does is reply with "Cope, faggot" or some other variation. Probably an underage shithead that should have been banned already.
>>152629162Zach hanged out with Trey and Matt and didn't want anything to do with showrunning anymore. It's understandable desu.
>>152629392That is the best possibility from this. He probably has a ton of ideas worked up since he only puts out like one cartoon a year now.
Man it's hilarious how different the /tv/ thread is to read versus this one. Wild how much one schizo can drag down the quality of conversation.

Fuck...
>>152629344I mean I guess the guy that just did an anger-fueled root canal on himself probably isn't. I'm pretty disappointed too because there's really, really not much holding my interest anymore and I still vlaued that little bit of "maybe this episode'll be good, oh, it kinda was this time" at the bare minimum. When an episode struck right, I had fun. And this show was really interesting to where opinions varied hard on a per episode basis. Some people's worsts were others' favorites.Who knows, maybe they recognized the world's REALLY going to shit right now and just wanted to bail and get out. I wouldn't blame them.
>>152629514>hanged outHung out, you fucking ESL.
>>152629392I hope Mark gets more work/recognition after this. I liked the show but I didnt actually laugh much at it except during some of his parts. He was by far the funniest part of it to me.
>>152629496>it's all gonna be out there when the show endsIt just did, faggot. Post the deets
I'm gonna take a guess and say the news about WB merging with either Netflix or Paramount backed them off.
>>152629527Go to bed
>>152629472>>152629509yeah but smiling friends also had a way bigger budget than aqua teen even accounting for inflation - smiling friends season 1 was $250,000 an episode while aqua teen was $60,000 an episode and also had way more episodes in production at a timeif it was purely about it being too much work adult swim would have given them more resources per episode since its their 2nd biggest original moneymaker right now (maybe even 1st now)
>>152629547He's been doing voice acting gigs for other shows now. Even if Smiling Friends ends he still needs to be active in the industry.
>>152629535Sure

>>152629309Zach doesnt even want to fuck his own girlfriend. He wasnt gone 24/7 because he was working on the show, Nikki is a gigantic racist bitch that wants to get into everybody's business
>>152629507>Yah there's probably more happening here than they're letting on?It's like when Chris and Zach made posts on social media saying "yeah they didn't even give us a chance because something something mr pickles" and then years later they admitted they completely fucked up the pitch by being arrogant retards unwilling to budge on something as simple as a name changeI still remember years and years of autists shitting up [as] comment sections, before the World Peace fans replaced them
Bump limit? No sticky? Welp, off to the next thread!
>>152629418If you have passion for your work, even something based on comedy not everyone finds funny, it would be the worst feeling to see you've dragged your idea on too long and iit lost its value to them.

>>152629218Based.
>>152629593Venture Bros got a sticky when it was canned, why can't this?

>>152629600No
*wins*
>>152629605mods aren't used to this board being this active.
>>152629605There was a mod out there who really loved Venture Bros and you can tell because every time an anon expressed criticism of the show the post got deleted. Not saying that the show was bad but still, obvious signs of favoritism.
>>152629468Working working I thought this was a schizo post and I wanted to clown on OP
>>152629344i think im most pissed of at the fact that they announced a 4th and 5th season without being sure they were even doing it. that kind of thing should already be like 45% complete before you go making ot official. it feels like having the rug ripped out from under me, and then i'm expected to me grateful to these fags. It would be one thing if the 3rd season was confirmed the last one ether before or during airing, i would be sad but more respectful towards that, as is im just left feeling angry and lied too in a way
>>152628752>dude what if we hired guest animators and voice actors onto the sho->nahhh, we did that last week
>>152629337Unc slop
>>152629608Yes he is extremely racist. Chris gets nervous whenever Zach starts an impression on Oneyplays. Chris is already super racist so that should tell you just how bad Zach is behind the scenes.
>>152629633Shut your fag mouth
>>152629554Im gonna hangaded myself now
>>152629574I'm trying to find a source for the $60,000 number, so far the closest I can find was an article from the 2000s saying $75,000 to $200,000 per aqua teen episode but no fucking way did any season 1-4 episodes of aqua teen cost $200,000 unless they had to remake it from scratch due to issueshttps://creativeloafing.com/content-184925-cover-story-a-cartoon-is-bornFor smiling friends - season 1 cost about "one episode of family guy" which was $2,000,000 at the time - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t9SS8hMOF4k&t=5805s
>>152629392It would also be cheaper to make with his style. Though I imagine he'd get Joey Souza to do a part. >>152629555I liked the show but I was open about Marc having carried some of the episodes to be funny. The last season relied on Mr. Boss so much.
>>152629413oh right forgot about Gennedy's works
>>152629529it just hit me spongebob is going to turn 30 years old in May 1, 2029
>>152629292Chris will only talk to someone if he thinks they have something to offer. He has nothing to offer anyone else but is always climbing on everyone else's coattails to see what it can get him. Wouldn't be surprised if he's a factor in the decision to end the show, he has a bad reputation and nigga tells everyone in Burbank he made Smiling Friends. He doesnt care about his sleazy reputation but just keeps inserting himself into Smiling Friends even though he's not involved
>>152629630Blame the network for that. Preemptive renewals are always retarded.
Remember when they made an election episode and they couldn't continue making president frog for the rest of the show and just reverted him back to making mr frog jokes? Thats when i knew they were not ready for this show to last.
>>152629648Make me sperg.
>>152629706In hindsight that’s pretty obvious
I swear american animation never lasts more than three years and they always have 10 episodes per season. How does the network get money for new pitches and where is the market for them?
>>152629608Chris is racist as fuck lolIt's not a bit
PIN THIS FUCKING THREAD JANNIE
>>152629608>the other idiots that replied to this Neither are racist. You haven't listented to SleepyCabin where Zach says he's lib. Chris is anti-woke but not chud. You chuds always projecting onto your thing is hilarious.

Honestly, pretty good. A show that runs for too long is bad.

>>152629630I wouldn't say I'm upset, but when they did announce two more seasons, I took it as these will be our last two seasons. Oh well, at least we're getting some more episodes soon.

>>152628888I dont think the show would change if it came back. I think they would still have the same level of involvement because that's what makes the show the show. If anything, they would probably make a new show inbetween and take a more hands off approach with them just writing and giving guidlines on the basic animation
>>152628241To bad, I thought they had at least another season worth of material at least.

Man, this sucks. Primal and Smiling Friends were the only two modern cartoons I enjoyed watching. I guess after Primal is gone, I'll go full anime and foreign animation in general from that point onward while also watching old shit I did not get the chance to watch in the past.>>152629886Remember his cancelled Mortal Kombat show MK Ultra Girls?>>152629946I still like a lot of his reviews (especially his game ones), but yeah his show Loki IRL really needs improvement. With his show, I think he shot himself in the foot when he didn't do that great of a job differentiating the "IRLs" with the human characters, which is also what that Disney show Bonkers did.>>152630309>i been relistening to pans podcast from the beginning to see when it went all went wrong to current panI remember I did that.....10 years ago (fuck, it's been that long?) lol.

>>152629309I never believe shit like this but the news is so abrupt that I wouldn't be surprised if there was behind-the-scenes drama like this
>>152629480If something is news and active enough to recieve multiple threads at once, like this one having 4-5, then yes, it's worthy because stickies are done as a mix to both spotlight news AND keep conversations contained. It fits the bill of both. We just barely get fucking stickies.
>>152631008/trash/ is trash
>>152629706I honestly didn't even realize until now that they fucked up the continuity of the frog presidency thing. That's wild for their one stand-out recurring side character and in such a short span of time. IIRC he was president again in his last episode at the start?
>>152630008This isn't completely impossible. I remember talking in We Bare Bears threads around their 30th episode when one of the writers literally admitted "we were out of ideas", and that's why the one where they replace Ice Bear with some dude exists. Some people make a show and don't expect to get far or have high plans, or realize going in that they're not able to do as much as they thought.
>>152631151not him but I feel like they could have done two more seasons of jokes just based on existing stuff they've talked aboutan episode about porn addiction and stuff like jelqingan episode where they have rick from rick and morty voiced by justin roiland and not the new guy show upan episode where they have to help a woman get a boyfriend and then it turns out she has big crinkly feet and their eyes go a boing boing boing
>>152628655Meanwhile something like Crayon Shin-chan had like 20 great seasons and multiple incredible movies.
>>152628241I wonder if they got a movie offer and said fuck it we had our fun and proved we can make something successful.More likely though they were burnt out its been known that they were control freaks and they even said it themselves so going through every single department and nitpicking really adds up it killed hirsch with gravity falls
>>152628492fuck off I liked this show
>>152628674>>152628655the crew and they themselves said they were control freaks with the show which will quickly burn you outits probably even worse because they also had to meet up with each other and compare stuff they didn't like and what they should do in order to stop it.
