I hate this deliberately ugly, post ironic shit. This show is just Anchorman but animated. No script, no point, no craft; just 'quotable' lines. Past it.

What is it about the way Smiling Friends does that it that makes it so much better than when Rick and Morty does it? Maybe it's the lack of obnoxious stammering.
Rick and Morty improv is more theatrical, more of an over-the-top performance.
Oftentimes it feels like it's delivered with the same kind of unsure but attention-seeking tone of a child.
 
I went to Nashville last year for a few days. I remember in one part of Nashville we drove past a small building that appeared abandoned, but not completely derelict yet. It must have once been a media store of some kind because the building still had a faded Smiling Friends smile symbol sign in the window. I wish I had been able to take my good camera and gotten a shot of it. Maybe it is still there, who knows.

BTW I left Nashville literally one hour before the pooner shooter event horizon.
 
Not really an expectation but I think it would be neat to have Freddy Freaker in an episode.
I don't know who owns the rights currently but Oney did pay a license of sorts to make merchandise of the character and he seems to own the rights?



He certainly fits in with the rest of the characters in the show.
I can see several plots with him and going pure meta with it.
The story could be about how he is only known for a shitty commercial and no one even knows he can actually move his arms.

Charlie: "Woah- hey its you the freaker guy! Wuh- Wuh- hey your arms are like-"

Freddie: "Yeah yeah I know- i'm just the funny weird freaky T-Posing Goblin thing! That's all anyone knows about me."

Then again, including a pre-established character would be a first for the show, guess they could just create a very close analogue like they've done with Spoony's Dr. Insano and Gwimbly.
 
And then at the end of the movie, before they can inject him with the fentanyl, his sentence ends and he gets freed from prison.
Oh, the movie in my head, Jared definitely fuckin' dies at the end. Mr. Boss is personal friends with the prison warden, who is more than happy to look the other way. Charlie and Pim go in posing as guards, and Steve Nigg holds him down. Charlie injects it into Jared's neck, Jared gets high, smiles, and slumps over dead. The news reports it as Jared committed suicide in prison, and the security footage glitched out. President Mr. Frog is asked to make a statement on TV, to which he says "I'm glad he's dead. I was gonna eat him myself. Hello."

A few days later, Charlie ponders and prays about it, knowing he did the right thing, though he did violate the first commandment. Jesus speaks to him, letting him know it's okay. Satan then pops in and thanks Charlie for sending down the most scrumptious, tasty fresh meat he's ever had. Cut to Jared tied down and screaming in hell as demons, assuming the form of human children, are peeling chunks of his body off like bacon. One of them lets Satan know his leg is down to the bone, so Satan snaps his fingers and his whole leg regenerates, just for them to go back at it again. Jared stops screaming in a brief moment of confusion, realized what just happens, and screams even louder.

Mr. Frog covertly gives everyone at Smiling Friends medals of honor. There is a happy ending.

Well, they would only have five years to make the movie before Jared Fogle gets out of prison in real life.

You might disagree but I actually hope Oneyplays keeps a safe distance from smiling friends, it's been okay sometimes but that kind of stuff can age like milk depending on how it's handled.
Mostly because some people won't get the joke, and Oneyplays is great because it is pure Internet, it hasn't broken into any other spaces that it doesn't need to. Smiling friends has done some Oneyplays stuff but it's been subtle and already a joke on its own, like the nostalgia critic or the two ham guys.

I also say this because Smiling Friends is a very unique mixed media show that has its own identity, I can get Oneyplays stuff from Oneyplays, but stuff like Spamtopia or Gwimbly or Mip I can only get from Smiling Friends.

The thing is Freddy Freaker isn't an Oney Plays thing neccessarily, it's been infamous for quite some time even without OneyPlays.

I just find the possibility humorous since Chris may or may not hold the rights to the character and he's working on the show too.

I completely agree that Smiling Friends should be all original content of course

It would be a hilarious in-joke that works well for the wtf factor if they keep it brief and dont explain what he is.

I think it'd be funnier if, no matter whether the above happened or the other guy's "Jared gets released" does, Jared dies either way. Even if he gets released he walks out of prison and promptly gets run over by a bus or something.

Then when he arrives in hell, he lands on the Boss's side and just leaves through whatever entrance Boss uses to enter and leave hell. Last scene is him back in the normal world walking into a daycare. Cue credits and cheerful music.
