I hope they add a "skip useless drool" button at some point and while Alex YIIIIIK is monologuing we just pan outside his monologuing and see him drooling like a retard while we get actual dialogue, most of it his party members making fun of him being stupid.

You could keep everything Alex says in the game, and it's actually not that bad. It's what Alex thinks that makes it insufferable.
Real talk, if they cut every single thing that's a part of the cover story out, the game's pacing improves dramatically. The cover story is every little bit of Alex's internal monologue, in which he calmly and far-more-maturely tells you... about fucking every last damn thought in his head in a jarring way, while trying to convince "you" to join him in the end. I think the joke is supposed to be that in the moment he's a raging asshole, but in his retelling he's a more somber character; the issue is that the joke isn't funny and repeating it for the entire game makes it less so.

Alex doesn't feel like he has an arc because you're constantly confronted by his "final" version throughout the entire game. Other characters get no time to have any actual characterization or time in the limelight because alex's monologues take up genuine fucking hours. Big moments have to stop dead in their tracks so Alex can tell the audience how cool and scary and awesome or whatever they are. It doesn't add any new information 99% of the time, and it's all just in service to a joke where you entering NIGGERMAN in at the new game screen will come back later on.

The way he describes being torn up and distraught over the random asian girl in the monologues feels so bizarrely disconnected from the story and his character - rip out those monologues and he's just a fucking asshole weirdo fixated on her for some weird reason. One of the big issues with the story is that all the other party members at one point stop to say how thankful they are to have met Alex - meanwhile the audience fucking hates him because the monologues are so fucking annoying. Rip them out, replace their ungodly time length with a little more of the party interacting and Alex being a complete boorish retard - but not one so obnoxiously annoying and omnipresent.

in december he changed his legal name to Baller Loki, so him being on hazbin hotel hasn't helped with any of his shit.

Just read through the thread, weird that Stamper is arrested as "William Andrew Stamper" and not "Baller Loki", so either a joke or he changed it back?

I had to google that, the fact that Cory and Lyle are to blame is amazing.

Also riffs on Kirbopher at the end of the video

As people have been saying, a lot of the stuff in OneyPlays/SleepCast does appear in Smiling Friends but there is also a series of streams by Michael and Zach called The Very Positive Stream which, in retrospect, has a lot of concepts that went directly into Smiling Friends. Pretty enjoyable.

I think Zach talked about this on a podcast where he mentioned that part of the comedy is that these cartoon characters have like real world attributes like they have health problems and if they get hit with hammers their heads explode. It works really well alot of the time for Smiling Friends. the Jeremy bit in the Hell episode where he gets punched in the stomach will never fail to kill me because the way he reacts is so visceral and real.

The noises Jeremy makes after getting hit sound just like Zach's impression of Jimmy Neutron's dad after getting punched in the lungs by an ex-marine in Times Square (timestamp ~ 11:50-12:10 if the embedded timestamp doesn't work):

 
So a dedicated autist broke down the SF references to previous Zach/Oney stuff. I'm sure it's not ALL but hey

so the normally predictable "Pim went to the wrong store" joke caught me by surprise at the end of the episode

I kept thinking "they mention glasses, so Pim is going to get with her and Charlie will laugh cause she's ugly as fuck."

But then it was just he went to the wrong store lol

This is kind of a follow-up to something I posted earlier, but Tomar now has his own horror fiction podcast, which features stories about different weird creatures each week.

The audio is a little over-edited in parts, but I like creepypasta so I'm not complaining.

Edit: Having fully listened to it, I'd describe it as SCP meets Supernatural. It's honestly not amazing but hey it got Tomar.

It's kinda fucked up for Tomar to create these horrific creatures and then release them into the wild just so he can have content for a podcast. But it does make for a good listen.
 
Shrimp’s Odyssey and Echanted Forest was a hoot and hollar for me! It surprised me that some of the jokes work and did cause me to laugh, I was afraid this show might’ve been a bombshell.



I wish someone would come and make me smile…
 
Hopped into Julian's twitch stream the other day and decided to ask what he thinks about Smiling Friends, and the message got blocked multiple times despite me rewording it.

I checked again, he's banned the term 'Smiling Friends'.

I guess that answers my question.

Hope that's just because he's annoyed by how often the question is asked about something he has no real connection to and not because of some gay drama. Well any drama involving Julian would be gay by definition, but you know what I mean.

True; that could definitely be the case.
However I haven't seen Julian talk about it anywhere - or seen any mention of his thoughts about it in this thread - so I doubt he gets asked about it often.
You'd think someone so interested in animation would have a few words to say on a mutual friend's work making it to TV.
Just kinda weird, but what do I know. We don't know what goes on behind the scenes

Which for Julian it sounds right, I remember in KH2 they discussed Tumblr dying and Chris asked Julian where he's gonna go to post content and his response was that he was fine with having barely any online presence in his own little corner
I'm glad he's not making another comic about him getting annoyed at least

Tbh as much as I love Julian, it could equal parts be that he's bitter someone else got to make a fully produced tv show or that people have been pestering about it and he doesn't wanna talk about it every few seconds.
