>it fucking sucks nowwhat went wrong?
the whole episode was a chrischan reference that I didn't get
>>215073458It made its point in the first season, "haha colorful and weird characters doing crazy stuff but also having normal conversations". That can only last for so long.
>>215073458HAHA I THIS NIGGA IS SILLY I DONT EVEN CARE WHAT HE SAID BUT THIS GUY SURE IS SILLY HAHA WOW
>>215073482i'm honestly glad i have avoided going down the chris chan lore rabbit hole for my entire life. i don't wanna be the sort of autist who is well versed in the life of a schizo troon just "for teh lulz"
>>215073570Yolo silver destiny is what this show would look like without the internet references.
>>215073637True, I didn't want to become this sort of autist. :(
>>215073458It was a funny episode
>>215073458>it fucking sucks now>now
What political figure is Silly Samuel supposed to represent?
>>215073570>critiques humor while posting an unfunny memeWhat did you mean by this
>>215073744>Didn't immediately register Silly Samuel is a parody of Benjamin DisraeliNgmi
>>215073744jd vance
>>215073482Am I missing something, there was one line/inflection that was a direct reference to christchans father, what else was there
>>215073744L. Ron Hubbard
>>215073812>Grounded scenario becoming absurdIt's the same thing, perhaps an inverse as Smiling Friends aims more for grounding the absurd.
Season 2 was unmemorable so I don't have any interest in watching 3. I only remember the cringe part with Alan getting the paperclip and going on an adventure and that's kinda it.
>>215073458>nowits always sucked OP
i found this early script draft from this latest episode. it's pretty random
>>215074521>Season 2 was unmemorable so I don't have any interest in watching 3the only episode i remember from season 2 was the one where he went out to get paperclips.
>>215073458>now
>angry guy screaming Damn what a terrible fucking first episode. The subplot was fire tho
>>215074720it hinges completely on the audience knowing who Conor O'Malley is
ep would've been funnier if silly sam got a brain injury at the end and actually became silly
>>215074901>Conor O'MalleyWho the fuck is that mick?
>>215074654i miss these people
>>215073458>Dude, relatable conversations.>Dude, character who is animated differently.>Dude, reference to thing.>Dude, yelling.>Dude, weird thing happened.It's not that anything went wrong, but rather that it's main gimmicks were revealed to only be good enough to hold for a single season.
>>215073744I thought he'd be Alex Jones, but the episode didn't realy go there
>>215075012Kawaii na!
>episodes discards the Samuel plotline entierly and is 11 minuts of Mr. Boss failing to kill the inspector as we explore the whacky/disturbing rooms of the officeBetter?
>>215075012This is SA, he's also a manlet so it's basically grape.
>>215075792That's.. that's not okay
>>215075792I refuse to believe this thing is a man.
>>215073744Nathan Fielder
>>215075012>hugglesUhhh we called it glomping don't make me get the yaoi paddle
>>215075012they still exist my friend/s4s/
>>215075080>>215073570Not saying that Smiling Friends is objectively funny or that people are wrong for disliking it, but I honestly get so annoyed when people main argument against a piece of media is just broadly summarizing the vibe of the media. >The OfficeEvery episode's just Michael being cringy then Jim looks at the camera>The SopranosEvery episode's just pointing at Tony and going "see he's bad">The Twilight ZoneEvery episode's just "it turns out the thing was something else this whole time!">Star TrekEvery episode's just "Huh, we found a weird thing we don't understand. Let's think about that."Like, you can literally boil down all pieces of media in history into a single dismissive sentence, you're not actually making a point by doing so.
>>215073458>fuck>fuck>shit>chris chan reference>fuck>fuck>shitYou weren't lying. What a shame.
>>215077251The difference is that while these examples are formulaic, they all have much greater characterization and a longer run time allowing for plot and personality development. Smiling Friends in it's densely packed 10 minutes doesn't allow for any of that nor for it's characters to have anything other than very basic personalities.
>>215073458The pacing is just worse. Somehow the majority of the eps that they shit out in s1 had decent-good structure, meanwhile the vast majority of s2's eps felt like the narrative equivalent of getting pushed down a flight of stairs. The fans will be satisfied as long as they have a chris-chan or doug walker reference to screencap in every ep.
>>215073637The joke is on YOU. YOU have been trolled
>>215073744George Lucas
The B plot was decent enough, but the main storyline felt so rick-and-morty-coded. Really hoping that the 'shit fuck' writing was a one-off thing
>>215073458It's always been cringy reddit slopSource: all my friends are the most safe, pronoun supporting left-wing redditors imaginable and this show is their "dark" humor go-to because it's safe edgy. It's never been funny.
the best part of the episode
>/tv/ hates the new seasonDamn it must be really good then.
>>215073458It always sucked.
>>215073744Jesus of Nazareth
>>215077610>doesn't allow for any of that nor for it's characters to have anything other than very basic personalities.Then feel free explain why they had a box of regular mold AND a box of black mold in the basement.
>>215078115/tv/ liked the first season, are you saying the first season was terrible?
>>215078115this board always have the worst takes.
>>215078201No they didn't, there was one episode that some contrarian autist interpreted as the exact opposite of what was shown on screen and he kept spamming his bad take for months.
>>215073482DO YOU REALIZE
>>215075792>This is SAsomething awful?
>>215073744your mom
the building inspector should have been the main plot
I laughed a couple times and I didn't know about the chris chan bit
>>215078327S**ual A**ault
It was fun, the trick reveal made me genuinely lol
it felt like they were making a shitty episode on purpose with how much it was a parody of itself even though i know it was genuine, really bizarre.
Smiling Friends is exactly the same as it ever was, which makes me think there's some sort of contrarian psychosis that causes people to suddenly stop enjoying things because of a made up schitzoid argument in their head.
>>215075792Steve Austin?
>>215078083Why the fuck are you friends with people you clearly disdain
Its been one episode nigga.Its impossible to discuss this show here because everyone is either a joyless hate filled faggot who comedy doesn't appeal to or they're part of that weird twitch personality cult the creators have and are constantly rambling about personal drama and weirdly intimate knowledge of their personal lives.
