I think we all know it was Zach that pulled the plug. Michael was doing 3 separate shows at one point
>>

Hell, Michael was even posting animations on his channel all last year. Zach can't see things through for shit, none of the sleepycabin crew can

Is it too much to ask you people that this series is ending on a high note instead of going to shit
>But we could've gotten more episodes
I'm sorry, but the show clearly wasn't long for this world, cause season 2 and 3 weren't nearly as good as the first.

Is that why nobody cares about any of them besides Smiling Friends?

You know what? It wasn't even that good in the first place.

They talked about that shit when SleepyCast was going.

yeah. I'm kind of still confused maybe even a little "unimpressed" by all this...and I haven't even seen every episode. I'm like the essence of a fairweather fan of smiling friends and it's pretty obvious to me the show still had legs, it was short format, it was flexible, they were willing to do all kinds of silly shit with it...unless there's something else better in the pipeline, why just give up? If clinging to your personal notions of quality so inflexibly leads to the project just ending completely...then you probably shouldn't be in that line of work.

granted it was a lot more high effort in it's production quality than ATHF, but that amassed a total of 144 episodes total over the years and a lasting legacy of memorable lines and sequences that people still quote and laugh about to this day. Smiling Friends had more going on than ATHF.

hire some fucking writers? Workshop? Take a long vacation? Do they think everything in classic era Simpsons just serendipitously appeared ready to go for those guys in the writers room? and then for early futurama where some of those same guys ended up? why go to all the trouble to get the ball rolling on a project, establish a fanbase and then just abandon it? from both the like creative project and the money-making entertainment business side of things it doesn't add up.

look at fucking Venture Bros and how GIGANTIC the gaps were between seasons, Adult Swim got a little fed up with those guys but they still worked with them...because they knew the fans were there and still wanted more.

How difficult is it to understand that they cancelled smiling friends because they don’t want to house a community filled with fandomtrannies
>>
>>153064324
Yolo and Bushworld were great, Koala Man was the only stinker so far.

>Mike and Zach watching their show's fans obsess over a CGI Hazbin Hotel knockoff tumblr OC to the point where they begin demanding she be added to the show next season
Wouldn't be shocked if Zach having a single choice encounter with some fat autist at a grocery store asking him to put Dolly in the show is what got them to back out of the whole thing.

Why
Why do you think that wouldn't be a major contributing factor to someone potentially being burned out
>>
>>153065036
Pretty based actually. I'm wasn't so attached to this one show that I can't just wait for his next project.
>>
>>153065036
If they didn't want a fanbase full of faggots, then they shouldn't have made a cartoon.

Zach and Micheal said that adult swim was willing to let them go on hiatus, so there's the chance they may return years later. But my guess is that they want to say they ended it since it lets them feel that they have ultimate control over the show instead of the network and they won't have autists constantly bugging them when there going to make a season 4 if it was just a hiatus.

Now why Zach and Micheal don't want to hire a writers room even though plenty of good cartoons had them and it could help them from getting burnout. I think its just a quality control thing, they want to make sure every joke lands and its hard to find people on the same wave length as them, or they don't want to hire someone who does a bad imitation on what they think smiling friends humor is a la the Simpsons with the screaming friends joke. And if they have a writers room its easier for the network to keep the show going without out them. And I imagine they don't want to see their work slowly decay into something like the Simpsons or Rick and Morty.
>>
Tbf they were right to end it cos u got fucking vent art being drawn about pim and Charlie and all sorts of horrid shit so I think it’s a good call to just end it and then probably just do oneyplays shit forever

They also didn't want to work for Paramount or Netflix or whoever was set to buy WB either.

Imagine being a grown man and thinking any of these guys make decisions based upon how weird their fandoms are.

They saw pic related and decided to pull the plug
>>
>>153066208
Well I’m not having a guess am I? It’s literally their reason. They’ve already said they don’t want to become Rick and Morty. If you aren’t a total retard you can read the subtext in what that means.

>YOU WOULDN'T THROW AWAY ALL THAT MONEY JUST BECAUSE OF 100000s OF ANNOYING AUTISTIC KIDS LATCHING ON TO YOUR WORK
Yes I would. Hell I would PAY to steer them away.

>>153066208
The majority don’t, that’s why you don’t see them focusing on it in public commentary
>>
>>153066255
this but unironically
zach saw the exact kinds of people he made fun of latch onto the show and called it quits early

Almost all of the jokes Zach inserted into the show were either bits he tried out on Oneyplays first, or just lifted from the other Oneyplays guys. Not sure why Zach didn't just hire all them on as creative consultants, or reach out to more Newgrounds guys. Hell, I'm sure even Marc M could've recommended some guys, he's pretty well connected
