If I was her dad I'd poke her with a cattle prod

I would come back into her life to poke her with a cattle prod and then leave
I don’t know if I’d base the popularity on TV ratings. I doubt the zoomer audience of Smiling Friends watches TV very often, so they probably consume it through social media or streaming. I’ve seen several SF clips with millions of views on a few platforms, so it definitely isn’t obscure. It’s probably the most popular thing to come out of Adult Swim recently, barring obviously Rick and Morty
Pretty much this. The execs at adult swim are probably seething behind closed doors at Zach and Michael's decision to end the show. It's the biggest thing they've had in years.
I get this but do they earn much from viral clips? Like, I also haven't seen or heard of much merchandise being produced.
I haven't seen a ton of official merchandise, but they wouldn't make pop-up stores and base significant portions of their SDCC booths around it if they weren't making good money off of it. It looked like they were leaning more into FOMO junk than anything
Also a fun fact, not counting the Half Sword video (which was filmed a long time ago) this is the first recently made Lyle video since October.
The Fortnite episode was filmed in early December, as it features a countdown to the Fortnite "Zero Hour" event which happened on either the 5th or 6th of December, and that video was filmed 16 hours before the event happened.
wow this looks like shit
It's popular enough to become a viral sensation amongst the target demographic. AS has never really had good ratings as a network and relied on merch sales amongst it's limited audience. Squidbillies would just break 1 mil viewers back before the internet dominated TV in terms of how people consumed media (to put that into perspective the Simpsons and American Dad were usually breaking between 4-6 million during the same time), and that show was allowed to keep going for almost 20 years. Venture Bros got roughly the same in terms of viewers and was allowed to take extended breaks despite being a much more costly show to produce and would probably need to recoup losses faster. I remember people hyping up MDE WP because it had the second highest debut ratings (second to Rick and Morty) and it was still only around a million and it was canceled for being a brand risk (and probably not very marketable). So 400k sounds bad, but its getting a lot of positive attention for the network, is probably not that expensive to make compared to Rick and Morty given SF's shorter length and less intense animation. I checked and American Dad just last year wasn't even getting 400k and Bob's Burgers was between 500k and 1 mil. So if the show could hover around 200k-300k it would probably be seen as enough of a success to keep going for a while if they wanted.
That’s a good way of putting it. I imagine picking games to LP/Stream is tricky in practice in terms of being entertaining.
