I love how much Smiling Friends showcases a wide variety of artists and styles. It's like a celebration of animation, which makes it stand out on [Adult Swim]. It's not the sort of show I'd expect to be aired on [AS] because it's not the latest season of Rick & Morty, a lame cartoon, maybe featuring some rapper, that lasts only eight or nine episodes, or another mediocre FLCL follow-up nobody asked for, in [Adult Swim]'s deciding they don't want to court or appeal to the "people who actually like cartoons" demographic.

Amazing how, even with a shoestring budget, an old fashioned funny cartoon driven by actual artists with skill and a unique point of view could take off. It stands out in a field dominated by shows made by people who are seemingly convinced that comedians and LA hack writers who got their foot in the door thanks to nepotism are the key to a good cartoon.

Speaking of the variety of artists and styles, you guys should check Zach's Xitter, he often retweets the artists who share what they did on the show, from backgrounds to animations.

The episode was probably the weakest of the season, but it had a few jokes that made me laugh.

I really liked this one! about on par with Gwimbly or some of the better episodes of season 1. Enchanted Forest, Frowning Friends and Charlie Goes to Hell are still peak but this one was consistently nutty and built up an atmosphere that had me chuckling at practically nothing

Dougie was a funny character and I felt them being geniune while also ridiculous made it funnier, the rotoscoping at the end was great, loved the picture of their mother. I also thought it was so fucking disgusting how they had their resolution over this ambomination and Charlie and Pim's reactions to it were perfect

Ever since an audio error trying to watch it on a pirate site I found a subreddit called r/full_episodes which tends to consistently post new SF. still got spoiled but luckily there was more to the joke than just that the homonculus popped out the egg

I love the fact that theres a subset of gooner nihilists on 4Chan that are so fucking triggered by Smiling Friends. Triggered them so badly that they wrote a schizophrenic rant about how its NeoPuritan propaganda.

Their favorite show is Rick and Morty and they're mad that Smiling Friends is better than Rick and Morty.
