Why doesn't this show have any actual jokes? You know how you can quote something from the Simpsons and you can tell it's a joke even though it's just typed out? Why doesn't this show do that?
GEE, I WONDER!
>>156224361Nice seething>>156224413Cope
>>156224424Is this all you do all day
>>156224361Why are you fucking here, man? You're so old. Where's your wife? Go home to your family, dude.
The joke is the premise, that’s been modern comedy for 15 year
>>156224361different kind of humor
>>156225244op btfo lol
>>156224361The only halfway funny jokes in the entire show were in the pilot, which is why it's the only thing people ever quote from it >>156225244
>>156224361Because it was made by untalented unfunny retards.
Just crack a faint ghost of a smile at the references to internet memes and don't ask question.
>>156224361it has the same appeal as world peace does, right wingers just clipfarm dogwhistles made by other chuds
>>156224361Smiling Friends was entirely "written" by two internet cartoonists who'd never written professionally before. For all the praise I wanna give adultswim with giving chances to newcomers as opposed to going the traditional TV development route, there is *some* benefit to collaborating with people who actually understand how to collaborate with a team instead of convincing themselves they can do it all. Hillenberg worked with writers; Zach & Michael didn't.
Yep!Guess I'm OOGLY GOO!
I TOLD YOU MAN THE DEVIL!
>>156228026This was the moment I said to myself, "Yeah... Maybe it's for the best they ended the show here."
>>156226412Fuck off
>>156227994lolrandumb bullshit
>>156229536Seethe
>>156224361Its spontaneous ``humor``, like when you are at a party and someone is saying random shit and for some reason you laugh at it at the moment but when you think about it its just random stupid shit, no jokes or sense, shit you feel you should laugh about to fit in
>>156230000checked
>>156224361I think it's because the show's sense of humor relies less on having quotable jokes but the setting they're in mostly being funny by itself. Fairly Oddparents has a bunch of quotable scenes but I wouldn't say that makes it a better comedy than Smiling Friends.
>>156226412If they didn't have Glep saying God is real you wouldn't call any of this right wing
>>156230232What I'm wondering is why Zach found this sudden conviction that Smiling Friends needed to be an aggressively, smarmily Christian cartoon when it was also the cartoon he decided to use to go public about his antisemitism and his beliefs that Christ was an Anglo who was executed by Jews, not Romans, which is retarded and completely incorrect. Jesus was Jewish.
>>156224361It's a lost art known as "visual gags", your second screen ass should try appreciating
>>156230549>it takes a very high iq to draw funny faces name a single visual "gag" in smiling friends that's even a fraction as good as this actual visual gaghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h1nD4o3zTfo
>>156230588Nobody cares
>>156230340All wrong
>>156230622you cared enough to replybet youll reply again too
>>156230588This one is pretty goodhttps://youtu.be/pn_6yMhK3sA?t=13Also this scene from The Simpsons has one of the best visual gags, and it easily surpasses plenty of quotable scenes from the same show.https://youtu.be/vcdJU7i-89c?t=27
>>156230734>'scream to cutaway' gag #521not impressed
>>156230763Don't care
>>156227285>Hillenberg worked with writersYes, but the first seasons of Spongebob were board-driven, meaning that the writers were cartoonists as well.Zach and Mike may not be the perfect comedians, but I'll rather take a well-animated cartoon with unimpressive writing over a well-written cartoon with terrible animation.
>>156230763>Completely miss the joke by ignoring how the scene builds visually to then cut abruptly cut to James's indifference and how he rips Charlie's noseYeah, people like you aren't different from those who think writing is the most important part of videogames.
>>156230891i'm the complete opposite, i'll take 100 ATHFs over some shit like monkey wrench. a comedy should be funny first and foremost, visual splendor should be a secondary priority. strengthen the writing then worry about making it pretty, not the other way around
>>156230891>with unimpressive writing But the writing is solid
The boss haluctinating various dead people like Ronald Reagan only for them to give completely serious business advice while he wanted them to tell him to murder was pretty funny.
>>156231045No, the Boss responding to Reagan's advice by sarcastically going>"Oh, wow, what a great idea! ...NOT! >B/"was just Zach going "haha, anyone who doesn't coalesce with generic Gordon Gecko stock bro tactics in their fiscal life is a stuck-up autistic narcissist who thinks everyone on Earth should be a communist".
>>156224361I know you all used to glaze this show, make the 50000th vivziepop thread it'll be more engaging than this.
If we're criticizing Smiling Friends, I hated how much Mr. Boss took over the show in season 2. He's not that fucking funny
Season 4 and 5 should've happened, and Cory Delaminguez and Dave the Slave write and voice everything. Full creative control.
>>156232196Obsessed
>>156230996It really isn't..
>>156230094Not to be a FOPfag but FOP is definitely better. I see no comedy in akward stammering “realistic” dialogue.
>>156230934It still wasn’t that funny.
>>156230094Ah yes reddit friends threads famously never have a bunch of quotes from the show posted in it.
