So will adult swim do anything worth a shit this year?
>>152796477>smiling freds “cancellation”
There's nothing to watch, so probably not.
>>152796477All the staff are probably busy sending out their resumes now that they've lost their last golden goose.
>>152796477not in the budget
>>152796477They have already telegraphed what they are doing, probably will have Zach and Micheal there for the gotcha that Smiling Friends isn’t really dead
rushing to find a new hit show
>>152796477Learning with Pibby
>>152796519Rick and morty is still going?
>>152796591Dude the guys who made that shit are autistic as hell, which is fitting but they sounds like they have way beyond mental problems.
>>152796519>This is what delusional Smiling Friends fans actually believe
>>152796655>Dude the guysIt was a singular man and he's on the verge of killing himself over pibby being vanished to the shadow realm
>>152796618What's the viewership like? Merch sales? I think those pickle ricks are dying on shelves, if there's any shelves left that'll carry them.
>>152796477Ten minutes of sound effects played over a rick and morty episode with about 20 seconds of edited visuals, the episode played twice until returning to the regularly scheduled Fox cartoonsPresented by Wendy's
>>152796618The fandom has been dead since the dragon orgy.
>smiling fags think it’s all a prankIt’s just going to make the inevitable realization even funnier
>>152796795>her storyI’m guessing he thinks “her story” is being a Mary Sue while every beloved character eats shit.
>>152796477>April FoolsOh, great, the most annoying day of the year on 4chan is coming up.
>Primal might be the only think AS has to pushWell, damn. Hopefully we can get a figure or something now.
>>152796795>This nigger could just make a webcomic about PibbyNah ah, if he wanted to do something Pibby related in a webcomic he straight up CAN'T because [as] and WB own her "ip" rights and therefore Dodge (her original author) isn't allowed to touch her without their direct permission and approval but since they want to do absolutely NOTHING with her then Dodge Greenley is fucked on that front and expressed that alot in his last Pibby update last year. It's also why he hasn't uploaded anymore pre-production art of Pibby because WB-[as] caught wind of what he was doing and told him to stop doing that.
>>152796477>00:01AM: [as] announces Venture Bros Season 8>12:01PM:[as] marathons Venture Bros Season 8
>>152796591After 2022?They'd be lynched.
>>152796477Smiling Friends returns under a new show title.Similar to what ATHF does
>>152796591dude after the normalfag reaction towards glitch's gameoverse pilot it shows that the public opinion towards pibby did a complete 180 since 2021 to the point they WILL throw a massive tantrum if they see [as] canned smiling friends for pibby
>>152796853>make another stick figure, this one purple with orange hair>call her bippy>make the comic in peace
>>152796618I'm pretty sure it got renewed to season 12
>>152796618New season drops this may so they'll probably do an April Fools Day event with it to announce the start date for the new season.
>>1527964772 Many Cooks
>>152796815This. Pibby was always dog shit and the fact creator shilling her non stop on this board was annoying as fuck. >>152797022No he can't without making massive fucking changes that pretty much makes it not resemble the original and survive the inevitable lawyer piss test to avoid being sued because it still resembles Pibby, which WB-Skydsnce now owns.
>mention pibby >someone immediately starts to seethe about it
>>152796756They're still trying to push pickle rick despite people, even hardcore fans, are tired of it.
What the fuck is Pibby?
Did anyone actually like Pibby? I remember autismos latching onto it HARD but that’s about it,
>>152796477Better question is whether or not 4chan will do something fun. The board shutdown thing last year was the most fun I think we've had since candy teams.
>>152797083Both sides of the pibby equation are retarded anyway, those who hate her and those who love her are equally as nonsensical because regardless if it could been "good" or a trainwreck to remember for generations we will never know the final product
>>152797138>most fun thingOh yeah man I loved the ponies spamming every board
>>152796477A lot of their shows after 2012 have felt uninspired to me.
>>152797109The second most viewed video on [as]'s youtube channel right now as it surpased the rick and morty music video and on its way to take the simpsons couch gag video's first place
>>152797109Spoiled trust fund brat's parents used their pull to let their brat pitch a show to AS and since he's never been told no, pitched a massive kill them all IP crossover complete with characters Warner does not own (DBZ) let alone didn't have the rights to (Sailor Moon). The show, Pibby, had a bunny toddler show character killing off everyone in the CN universe and shows like DBZ and Sailor Moon, after everyone but her gets possessed by a shadow demon.Adult Swim told the guy to fuck off and since he's never been denied, he's been seething for YEARS, spamming Twitter and 4chan with posts demanding Pibby get made, to the point AS trolled him using the character (as he did not even bother to read the fine print on the contract AS makes anyone pitching a show to them, saying you forfeit your IP to AS as payment just to pitch it to them) in an April Fools Day intestinal bit a couple of years ago, and have finally put the boot down threatening to sue him if he keeps posting crap about the show online
>>152797171>I don't like fun! I just want to sit in the same five threads every day and bitch.There's a site for that.
>>152797308>same five threadsLike the same five pony threads on every board?
>>152797027New season release date was announced yesterday
>>152796477opal 2
>>152797109A video [as] released in the halloween of 2021 that is essentially a deviantart/fanfiction.net/ao3 work which animated recreation or a corporate attempt at doing scoob and shag and it was a really popular for a few months, like TADC's pilot levels of popularity but nothing came out of it due to various factors and it slowly managed to garner a bad reputation so now any time someone even dares to mention Pibby someone will jump from nowhere to sperg out about it
>>152796795>warning for racismThis board is pathetic.
>>152797138For me it's the board mergeExcept for the end when samurai Jack cucks embarrassed us inside /co/
>>152796477They are gonna show all the episodes of season 4 & 5 of smiling friends.hard amounts of coping i know.
Please some new pilots and have them on repeat?
>>152797691*I mean play
>>152797405I’ll never understand how it got the traction it did. Every single person knows a kid from middle school who wrote the exact same story, where the cartoons they were growing out of die in some edgy way.
Hellbenders pilot
>>152797912Anon, that’s why it blew up.It wasn’t adults that were fans of it.
>>152797691This might be what’s happening. The online schedule indicates a 5 hour timeslot for April Fools. Even if it loops as recent years have, that’s still 2.5 hours. Could be some kind of gag for 30 minutes followed by 2 hours of pilots AS is pretty light on incoming material, even before SF was canned
>>152797931Depends on your definition of "adult fans" anon, even more so taking in consideration the video's comment section
>>152797931Are we sure? Because it seemed like most people into it were mid to late 20s at the time. Autistic as all hell, but adults
>>152797912>I’ll never understand how it got the traction it did.because you are not in the spectrumit was essentially a crossover creepypasta with a budget/edgier wreck-it-ralph and that combination is like crack for autism or "creatives" on the spectrum and it was given the benefit of doubt during the start of the hype to maybe it could be like kingdom hearts or a neutered tails gets trolled, but that quickly became sour when Dogde posted an infamous before and after concept art of Yosemite Sam where it was made clear Dodge wasn't doing this type of story right because Sam is so out of character it made people take a dislike of Pibby
>>152796477the return of pibby
>>152798157Could they even? I know they own the rights, but could they do anything without the main retard?Not that I expect them to, I’m just curious
>>152798144Opinions on it were souring way before that. Or at least, regular people were finally able to shout over all the autism and call it out for what a creatively bankrupt turd it actually was
>>152798157No do overs
they bait people with airing the CW Powerpuff pilot, only to air the Bliss episode of PPG16
>>152798234they absolutely could, I don't think he was involved much in the prank where pibby was inserted into shows anyway since they just reused lines recorded for the pilot
>>152798271anon I think that thing is basically never gonna get released, I'm pretty sure if it were to ever happen the PPG ip would immediately fucking die because of it
>>152798144It was EXACTLY after the April fools event of 2022 that Pibby was getting bashed by regular people because they already grew tired of the gimmick by then, the internet was gushing about it nonstop for 5 months straight since november all the way to april and that also meant that youtube was milking the everloving crap out of Pibby so public perception was changing rapidlyThe Evil and Fucked up Sam art just sealed the deal and made regular people jump ship
Coconut Fred marathon for the entire duration of the block
>>152798287McCracken would welcome that. It would be a mercy
>>152798144>not on the spectrumNTA but I’m super autistic and immediately saw it and said “wow, that’s retarded creepypasta mascot horror shit.”And I was correct. I’ve actually been able to avoid most of the highly autistic fanbases and autism crack series. Something about them just turned me off completely. Sonic, pastel horses, any glitch production, none of that kind of thing grabbed my attention, I just don’t get the appeal.But I’m here in /co/ and have been since around 2014. I guess I’m not much better.
>>152798271>16Was it THAT long ago?Fuck.
>>152797912people wanted a subspace emissary equivalent for warner brothersinstead they could had received a trainwreck that would've been even more embarrassing than loonatics unleashed, kinda like the equivalent of that for the 2020's but even LU actually came out despite the outrage
>>152798337It certainly did help how bad and low effort the 2022 prank was. People were joking that the real prank was tricking people into sitting through a whole episode of Birdgirl for no payoff
>>152798429Do people actually find that scary?
>>152798407yep, turns 10 on april 4th.honestly I don't really hate it in my opinion, it's at least an... INTERESTING watch.
>>152798429Did any sane person think this was possible in any way? That they were gonna let one show shart all over a bunch of established IPs? It works with stuff like Space Ghost because the IP was effectively dead for decades so no one cared if he was made into a goofy talk show host. But shit like AT still sells merch and even airs on CN now and then
>>152798429>aieeee mah heroes are evil and glitchy now save me pibby manThe fact this was the kind of following dodge wanted spoke volumes of what kind of fallout Pibby would've made to the WB brand
>>152798483>tfw remember that shit coming out during my trip to celebrate highschool graduation I’ve wasted everything haven’t I?
>>152798499Even the playful shitting on Hanna Barbara shows was eventually stopped when WB realized they might want to actually use some of them, like how the Johnny Quest characters in Venture Brothers had to be renamed into distinct parody characters rather than the real things to continue to be used.
>>152798275They could, but AS has always had an aversion to kicking autism hives too hard, because the one night of laughs are not worth the multiple years of screeching, petitions and other annoyances from autists trying to get them to change their minds.
>>152798519I was there for the premiere and had the biggest fucking crush on Buttercup, ...it has not left me and I want to fuck her. we've both wasted our lives.
>>152798535if anything, be lucky you didn't end up like me, anon.
>>152798529>but AS has always had an aversion to kicking autism hives too hardThat might explain why Smiling Friends stopped after the whole self insert fiasco, also that OneyPlays' fans are extremely autistic
>>152798535I was 18 at the time and remember seeing the “no me gusta” and twerking clips, laughing out of cringe, and going back to hanging out on Myrtle Beach. I actually visited that place that got fucked over by Tiger King a couple years back, did a private tour thing. Crazy shit.
>>152798499It’s funnier than that, it wasn’t just WB shit, he wanted the whole cake and was trying to use iconic shit from other networks like Spongebob and some of the Toonami anime from the old days. If by some miracle it actually was greenlit and everyone was cooperative, it would have drained millions from AS just securing rights to all the shit he wanted
>>152796477They're going to air Nickelodeon cartoons because of the buyout.
>>152798571yeah, I can accept the PPG reboot is objectively trash but like, I have nostalgia for it, I cannot fully hate the thing...YES FOLKS WE'VE REACHED THE POINT WHERE PPG16 CAN BE CONSIDERED NOSTALGIC TO FOLKS, RED FUCKING ALERT
>>152798562>self insert fiascoExplain>Oneyplays fans are extremely autistic You could really tell at their last panel that Zach and Micheal were sick of how retarded literally every one of their fans is
>>152798579The buyout won’t finalize till the fall at the earliest, and Zaslav has admitted he does not believe it will even go through. It’s not gonna be that
>>152798574I refuse to believe a grown man pitching a show to adult swim has no idea how copyright works, and believed that every company on the planet would like having his OC kill them. This is some shit I’d see from a very autistic fifteen year old.>>152798562>oneyplays fans autismWhat happened to cause this? I stopped watching because Zach and Lyle just didn’t hit the funny bone of mine like Chris’ chemistry with Ding Dong and Julien. I thought they did some really funny things but the channel just didn’t entertain me anymore.
>>152796853I don't know why people sell their ideas to big corpos. The fact that the guy who created Villainous got his rights back is a miracle.
>>152798429>MFW i see chainsaw man and berserk references in pibby as she is decapitating the head of a corrupted abomination Duck Dodgers (dodge greenley had just read them while doing concept art)
>>152798587NTA but I believe he is referring to the whole Smiling Friend OC/Self Insert video trends like the Autistic Gamer and Dolly Dimple where people outside the joke began to think that maybe those clips and channels were being managed by some animators of the show but it slowly it got out of control to the point that the "bit" was getting acknowledged by the [as] instagram account but then Dolly ruined her "joke" and made clear no of them were actually from the smiling friends teamHonestly don't think something like this would be enough to cause the whole series to just stop dead in its tracks but we are talking about Zach and Michael from OneyPlays here so who knows
>>152798608He is a manchild with very rich and connected parents. The fact that the pitch even got passed the first meeting, let alone to public release, shows that his parents have a lot of motion and AS was basically forced to humor this project. >what happened to cause this?Smiling Friends gave them more exposure and attracted the wrong crowd
>>152798616It’s basically the only way to get a pitch meeting if you are an unknown
>>152798616>>152798783>Katie Rice will never get the rights to Camp Weedonwantcha back.... and that's sad.
They'll probably put out the 2 throwaway Smiling Friends episodes Zach and Michael mentioned
>>152799085Those are already slated for 4/12. Airing them two weeks early would be a lame April Fools.
>>152796820The fuck are you, a mortician? Why do you hate harmless fun? Also you're probably safe, this isn't old 4xhan.
>>152799110That’s why they’re airing them 11 days early!
>So will adult swim do anything worth a shit this year?Another episode of perfect hair forever
>>152799110The 4/12 date is to throw people off the trail.
>>152796477They’ll just re-run Boo Boo Runs Wild the entire night or some shit lol
>>152799714>entire night Buddy, the advertisers won’t like that. You will get ONE 30 minute timeslot and be happy
>>152796477unrelated but i hope /co/ merges with /a/ this april fools, it'd be funny as fuck
>>152798429I'm glad the pibby thing feel flat on its face. Theres enough of this child hood nightmare shit online. It didn't need to be a series.
>>152799794/aco/ already exists.
>>152799110The 4/12 Dolley episodes are the follow up
>>152796477Shaarts
>>152799794nothing will beat /cock/
>>152799073>Katie is headhancho at Warner >Paramount will own Warner
Online schedule updated from blank to 4 hours of Smiling Friends
Smiling Friend's spin-off (?) idk.
>>152803943>4 hours of Smiling Friendsgonna buy stocks to the smiling friends cancelation being bit right now
>>152797109A CN Post Appcalypse where Zalgo takes over the various Cartoon Cartoons, plus the friends of an Edutainment Preschool Show protsgonist named Pibby.
They announce a whole lineup of actually good shows for Toonami. And then go "April Fools!" and it's still the Big 3 tormenting the block.
>>152798594You gotta admit it would be a funny idea though.
I wish they'd do a night of premieres lineup again. That was a blast in 2020 watching live with /co/. Or at least something actually funny/entertaining. I think I even liked the 2016 prank where they didn't do anything more because the seethe was hilarious and it was actually a good joke. Some people stayed up until 6am because of this shit.The last 3 or so years have just been awful.
>>152805151>the big 3Know how we can tell you haven’t watched Toonami in years? Naruto has been gone for over a year because we finished it, and Bleach just wrapped up its season and won’t be back till the fall at the latest. Only one of the big 3 that’s left is One Piece, but it’s buried at the bottom of the premieres because no one watches it
>>152798429holy theater kid batman
>>152805151Kek
>>152796496>>152796477>Smiling friends movie announcement Or Season 4 premier
>>152798157They released it on youtube for free with the guys behind it saying it wasn't greenlight, it isn't happeninghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VhPpjwTNUec
>>152807663That's fanmade (aka made by teens)
>>152801663gross!!
>>152798429Despite everything, I am still surprised that AS never really tried to cash in on the pibby fad, like just try to push a show through but like "hey asshole you can't use any characters from other shows" or sell marketable plushies out the wazooIt was shit but it was marketable shit (to a certain degree)
>>152799714Not anymore with people constantly screeching about John K’s personal life.
>>152809229Nobody gave a shit about Pibby herself or the other OCs. The autismo catnip was bringing in recognizable IPs for retards to point at the screen and scream they recognize. If they did move forward with it, using legally safe knockoffs, it would have caused an autism storm of people bitching it’s not like the pilot. You have to know how to spot autism and get ahead of it or it will cause you problems later. They edited Pibby into like 30 seconds total of footage for an April fools joke and it took YEARS to get autists to drop the notion it would ever be a full show
predicting a common side effects-related prank since the show blew up.
>>152809562>Nobody gave a shit about Pibby herself or the other OCs.That's the now but when the iron was hot it could been sensible to get a quick buck or two with simple merch of Pibby, I mean that's how Glitch Productions is funding all their shows with; lots of merch
Tom goes to the Mayor marathon
>>152809718Too serious of a show to do a prank with. The renewal was also a surprise for the staff, so they had nothing extra ready to go and I don’t think it’s been long enough for much to be done.
