How the FUCK did they get away with this
>>215060464Because the person at the network approving their scripts didn't recognize it
save edgy type shit. still like the show
>>215060464Because the video they're referencing happened nearly 20 years ago and they referenced even darker things than Chris Chan prior tbqh like that Bjork stalker
>>215060464what does it mean when you enjoy smiling friends but hate smiling friends fans? it's like they've never watched any other shows before. smiling friends is not edgy
>>215060464No one above the age of 35 knows who chris chan is.
>>215060464Because it's a show written by newgrounds cartoonists, which is why it gets shilled on here by their retarded fans despite how uninspired and boring it is.If adult swim wasn't such tranny trash & wasn't looking for ANYTHING to fill the rick and morty void they wouldn't have been given a cartoon,and instead of this show their fans would shill whatever book or video game or grift they would do instead
>>215062567OP is just a fag who knows it's not edgy but is practically a bot
>>215062667>uninspiredYou can hate the humor but it is not uninspired. It's pretty much the modern day Courage. They use multimedia in every episode, etc etc
>>215060464>>215061638>>215061635It's a pretty basic internet reference. Not even one of the darker Chris moments, just him fighting with his dad.
>>215062719>it is not uninspiredIt really is. >They use multimedia in every episodeThat doesn't mean it's not uninspired, it means they have a hard time coming up with ideas so they just decide to make everything wacky like rick and morty turned up to 11Their brightest idea was >DUDE lets get OTHER e-celebs to voice characters like red letter media guy and CHRIS CHAN!!!
>main character has shit audio mixing on purposeInto the trash it goes.
>>215062772Also Douge walker. They had Douge on
I enjoyed the episode but despite being a heavy internet user since 2008 I did not realize that was some kind of reference. I don't imagine most people in the biz realizing this either
Mr Boss is always great, the Charlie & Pim plots are kind of meh now.
>>215062816If you didn't instantly catch that then no, you're not a "heavy internet user."
>>215062772Except Rick and Morty's humor was all from the dialogue because the show is tweened lazy animation. Saying this every thread doesn't make it true>WAH Mike was on the pilot 5 years ago. I'm going to cry forever about itAnd? His Plinkett voice was perfect for that character. Also Chris Chan wasn't even on the show
>>215062667>the most media literate /tv/ poster
>>215062862Chris Chan was to appear as the grease puddle in the murder mystery episode but they decided against it when he was arrested and sent to prison.
>>215060464Get away with what? It's a completely normal sentence. Bob Chandler saying it once doesn't mean there's anything wrong with it. I swear you guys are autistic.
Get ready for clown-kino to blow this dogshit show out of the waterhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xSNdmSEg_qQ
>>215062974>Get away with what?Making a reference to Chris chan, a man who is famous for two things: getting trolled so hard he trooned out and raping his own fucking mother.
>>215062994not even joe cappas best work also i will appreciate them both because i don't have /tv/ brain rot
>Where do you think YOU'RE GOING
>>215062862Rick and morty was (originally) good inspite of the shitty animation. What does the fact that you can only defend this trash by saying it has good and multimedia art say about it?
>true but jump through this new strawman goalpost and compare a 12 minute cartoon to works like shakespeare is this nigger really that retarded?
>>215063099It was never good, your reddit is showing. Let me guess. Zach's a puritan chud but you can only feel comfortable saying that on the home turf aka /co/
>>215062615chris is infamous. It's weird if you use the internet and don't know who he is by this point
>yes, let's put our autistic son in mainline education instead of doctors and specialist schoolsFuck Bob and barb
>>215062994Can you tell me what part of the trailer I was supposed to find funny
>>215063247>fuck BarbYeah Chris is way ahead of you on that one.
>>215060464I don't understand the reference
>>215062994>HAHA MATT DAMON LOOKS WEIRDOK I GET IT DID THIS REALLY DESERVE AN ENTIRE SHOW
>>215060464kinda wish I didn't get the chris chan reference
>>215063302Robert Chandler Sr (1927- 2011) had a famous interaction with his son Christian Weston (1982-?) wherein he entered his room to have him remove videos of their home which Christian had uploaded to the internet. Rather than actually cleaning the house and fixing it to be up to standard, Robert merely wanted Christian to remove the videos so that people with Green county board of health wouldn’t see that they live in squalor rather than actually fixing it so as not to live in squalor.To this day, the videos of Christian’s house have not been removed from the internet.
>>215063099You got to admit this is funny.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJ5Mim9tvfM
>>215063247Retarded boomers are gonna boom
>>215063293it should have been me
>>215063292nta but joe cappa is awkward/reality cringe animation at least in his short format stuff. his long format stuff like the paper mache fruit heads is just retard. on a small level there are some parallels where there is humor in the groundedness of the character dialogue and voice acting and fine details of the animation between joe cappa and smiling friends but joe has never made anything over 2 mins long that was coherent or funny. i'll be interested to see how this one plays out
>>215063393Pretty much. It's just straight up pride and ego and being obsessed with le normalcy.
>>215060464how is this a chris chan reference? Yes I have watched the 100 hour docuseries, pardon me for not remembering every single line
>>215062615I'm 50 and I know who he is
report eceleb threads as off topic
>>215063177>use the internetwhat percentage of people actually "use the internet" anymore, as opposed to just opening social media apps and occasionally clicking wikipedia links
>>215063099>rick and morty used to be goodgo back
>>215063293
>>215062567nobody thinks it's edgy. it's just a fun show
>>215063247>>215063393wasnt he in special ed? theres no fucking way he wasn't.
>>215063569He was in special Ed in a normal school but what the doctors wanted was for him to go to a full on private school with doctors and stuff. They wanted him out of normal school entirely.
>>215063145>It was never goodYeah it just became a world wide phenomenon your favorite show here copies off of for no reason.Your e-celeb worship shill posting is the only reason I know all this
>>215063569>wasnt he in special ed? theres no fucking way he wasn't.No. His parents were just like "Autism? So like the flu? It'll buff I think, but I don't want NO SON OF MINE ridin' no short bus. What will everyone else think??"
>>215063623cmon theres no way 2 blue collar hicks could afford that. they just spoiled the absolute fuck out of him probably.
>>215063569>>215063293>>215063393Bob was 100 years old and thought they'd throw him in a mental institution like one flew over the cuckoo's nest
>>215063649What does Smiling Friends copy from Rick and Morty? The reddit atheism rants? The Incest fantasies?
>>215060464kek
>>215062994Is this supposed to be Adventure-slop? I'm a sucker for this shit
>>215062994This isn't good. Reminds me of Marc M without any of the humor.
season 1 - 6 of rick and morty are very good and every episode therein is very good too
i understand the referencesi recognize the voice actorsbut the show just isnt very good
>>215063670His dad was a brilliant electrical engineer.If he wasn't on the spectrum himself he could had easily cracked a million.
>>215063569No.The public school he was enrolled in wanted to put him in special ed classes, but Barb and Bob wanted him in regular classes (because ignoring a problem works out so well) So they moved to an entirely new district that didn't have special ed classes.
>>215063681Some of the fake naming conventions are similar to R&M, but both shows took that from Adventure Time.
>>215062898First part is true, but they already decided against it before the motherfucking because it dawned on them that Chris was too retarded to understand NDAs.
Why is this shit still 10 mintues long. and why are they still trying to cram an A plot and a B plot into a 10 minute runtime?
>>215065088Debating if R&M or Adventure Time invented gibberish firstKys faggot tripnigger just kys this is the dumbest thing I read all day
>>215064902Chris's entire life is an indictment of the Virginia public school system. My school had multiple Chris Chans. Kids who were obviously mentally disturbed and borderline special needs. But the teachers passed them along so they wouldn't have to deal with them anymore. A system wide issue of "Not my fucking problem".

>>215062839>>215063015I've been on 4chan since before CWC and only learned about this apparent reference from this thread.It's a completely normal sentence and there's no reason to believe it's le epic internet inside joke.
>>215066003Newfag
I personally think there's more to it than it being a reference. There's something inherently amusing about the phrasing, the setting, the context, it's a very bleak scene and a contemporary portrait of communication breakdown and desperation. It's funny because it's funny, not because it's chrischan. It's characterization, borrowing from another father at his wit's end.All the chrischan memes are difficult to untangle from the bullying of chrischan and I understand why someone would find it distasteful but I believe there's something funny/poetic about it even if's difficult to divorce it from the lolcow aspect.
>>215066003>It's a completely normal sentence and there's no reason to believe it's le epic internet inside joke.Watch the clips side by side. It's too deliberate to be a coincidence. https://x.com/Ovirtuous_/status/1975075950997209220
>>215062615I’m more surprised when people under 35 know who he is.
>>215062567It mean Smiling Friends fans are the new Rick and Morty fans
>>215062567Pretty standard for most modern TV and franchises.
>>215066065Smiling Friends isn't pretentious
>>215066030>crying about le bullying>reddit spacingGo back, snowflake.
