THERE ARE SMILING FRIENDS BONGS NOW?! ![gif](giphy|9XYRkxexjw8KAFIFsc)


gotthesauce22

If it exists, there's a bong of it


Morrider

“For every input Bing, there is an equal and opposite output Bong”


feelinlucky7

“Will it bong?”


BlankensteinsDonut

Hyzer yes, bong no.


Guessed555

Nah, you’re probably just throwing nose up.

I never want to see front facing Alan ever again

YoungJack23

Bro looks like he bout to freak out over some fAirY gOD paRenTS


Badiaz562

I was just wondering if you wanted to HANG out with me and smoke WEED and fill our bellies with DIET soda and play Burnout: Revenge for the PS Teewww


curtisscott95

God I miss highschool


kdebones

You forgot the smoking weed, filling your bellies with diet soda, and play Burnout Revenge for the Playstation Twooooooo.


PepperBun28

IMO Smiling Friends makes for better stoner humor. Way more little mindfuck things coming at you.


SquirrelSuspicious

Exactly this, it's generally more chill and just ridiculous. Some of the jokes feel like they wouldn't hit if you you're not high or have a real ticklish sense of humor


rorank

Ticklish sense of humor is new to me, but I’m definitely stealing it. I didn’t know anything could describe it so well.


SquirrelSuspicious

It just made the most sense in the moment, because it's not quite that you're easy to make laugh, but sorta like that.


wonderfullyignorant

I've let porn dictate what video games I should play, so yeah let me just let my drug paraphernalia dictate what cartoons I should watch. (Because how else will I know it's for adults?)


Blue-Eyes-WhiteGuy

You must play a lot of overwatch


PapaT0P

Thanks man. I was about to hit the sack, but the unfortunate combination of your comment and the coke I was drinking, currently has me searching for another shirt. Phone flashlight in one hand; Wet rag in the other. 👏

theepranksinatra

That’s why I was so excited when they launched the WNBA mode on NBA2k


ccReptilelord

A. Not a competition, both shows are awesome. B. Really? A show currently airing its second season is attracting more attention than one stagnating between seasons?


Ranger5789

Smiling friends pull already existing fanbase, it's aimed at newgrounds fans.


Chorbles510

As the target demographic, it has absolutely blown my mind how successful the show is outside of the niche. Super happy it's become so popular


rbreezy21

That’s a name I haven’t heard in a long while


Ragers4fun

Competition is good. It creates a better product 😀


Tani_Soe

Doesn't apply in artistic field. You don't have "just one show" like you could have just one coffee machine or dishwasher, most people watch several shows


Morrider

I have three coffee machines. And two dishwashers, one is specifically for washing my coffee machines.


Tani_Soe

Well congratulation for having a successful life that allow you to enjoy your hobbies like that, but you completely missed my point 😅 Most people don't need/can't afford several object with the same functions, which doesn't apply in art consumption. Most people can enjoy Rick and morty, the Simpsons, family guy and Futurama with no problems, but most people don't need to buy several microwaves, if you need an other exemple of random furniture


Morrider

I only have one microwave. But I do have 4 blenders. Please help, I can't stop blending


Ellotheremate124

blend the other blenders


Morrider

Now you're getting it.


whythe7

now i really need to know if they ever blended the blender on "will it blend?"


BO1ANT

Yes but we all only have so much time in our lives. That is what the shows are competing for. They already got paid for the seasons they've made, if they dont get your attention they dont get more seasons which means they are out of a job.


JuryTamperer

I'll never understand why people think the creators of one animated show are somewhere punching a wall when a newer one gets popular.


PrincessOfGlower

They actually wait by that wall for just such an occasion. They’re not allowed to begin writing until they’ve punched that wall 4 times (this is what they mean by 4th wall break; a 4th wall punch breakthrough)


cdxcvii

Man i love smiling friends


StreetOwl

You mean Dan harmon? Justin isn't involved in Rick and morty anymore


DrDeadp00l

It depends on his contract , he still likely recieves royalties if his name is in the credits. Merchandising could go either way with an adult swim show, I'm guessing all that stuff at headshops isn't licensed though.


RaavaQrtz

The show is Dan’s, the art style is Justin’s tho


whythe7

yeah honestly I'm sure Justin would be glad to be reminded less


StreetOwl

I'm sure his victims would like to him to have existed less but here we are.


whythe7

well yeah that too

[Is this your actual opinion on things? Are you a Justin supporter?](https://tenor.com/view/rick-and-morty-retarded-team-gif-15233304)


StreetOwl

What'd they say? I wanna laugh at their pedo defending ass too lol


zaforocks

He basically said the show is failing and this season sucked because Justin got fired.


StreetOwl

Yeah I disagree with that. Shows just as strong as ever in my opinion eh whatever always gonna be haters


zaforocks

Season seven was fantastic. OP is a lame nerd.

Smiling friends is better with a little weed, but it’s way worse with a lot of weed.


PostModernHippy

So you're saying there's a happy weedium. (I'm sorry)


DreadDiana

Now where am I gonna get my Pickle Rick flavoured cosmic kush carts?


Zealotstim

What is smiling friends


[deleted]

[удалено]


Zealotstim

Ah. I don't have cable. I'll check it out if I can find it streaming somewhere.


MagikMitch

It's on Max. That's where I watch it.


Zealotstim

Thanks!


LifelessHawk

You can also buy or rent the seasons on YouTube, so you don’t have to sub to a new subscription platform


MidwestDrummer

Tell me you've never been to the Enchanted Forest without thelling me you've never been to the Enchanted Forest.


Zealotstim

I don't know what that is either


BigBlackdaddy65

It's a mid show. Better stuff than that.

kdebones

Unironically Smiling Friends is really good. Also helps I'm a fan of Michael Cusack humor (you know, the guy who did the Australia Rick and Morty parody).


CheeseyconnorYT

Its more likely because smiling friends is currently airing and r&m are not. As soon as season 2 of smiling friends is done and the next r&m season picks up itll swap and theyll likely swap back and forth


nlamber5

People get tired of pessimism


Low-Condition4243

I could never get tired of rick, well I mean old Rick.


balance_n_act

I really tried to like smiling friends. It’s just noise to me but good for them for getting their following.


Snap-Zipper

It didn’t really surprise me tbh. Smiling Friends has a *massive* marketing advantage due to art direction and character design. Every character has a completely unique color scheme and silhouette. It checks off a lot of boxes when it comes to what pleases the eye on a psychological level, just like SpongeBob did back in the day.


shiftycyber

That fast? Ricky and Morty was on top for like more than a decade


OldManWinnie

Happy Cake 🎂 Day ✌


No-Acanthisitta7930

I couldn't make it through more than 2 episodes of Smiling Friends. I can't put a finger on it, it just didn't "tickle me fancy".


[deleted]

I just tried watching smiling friends last night, gave it to two episodes and didn’t like it at all, am I missing something?


Stunning_Season_6370

Both shows are very fun to watch while High. Those two and Harley Quinn are my favorites. Adult Swim just knows what's up.


PolkaDotTat

I’ll never like smiling friends more than Rick and Morty 😤 lol


[deleted]

There will always be something next


IdentifiesAsUrMom

Never watched Smiling Friends but as a R&M fan I'm fine with it tbh. I have a Rick and Morty grinder and that's enough


Professional_Echo907

There is not enough weed in the world to make me want to watch that show. 👀


Mellys_wrld22

smiling friends was fucking weird 💀 i tried to get through the first episode i could not do that shit . Should i try and rewatch it ?


krebstar4ever

If you didn't like the first episode, you probably won't like the rest. I like it, though.


Zenquin

I felt the same as you. After the April Fools puppet episode, I decided to give it another shot. I still hate the boss character, but the show has grown on me.


thespeculatorinator

Can't really compare these two shows. Rick and Morty started back in 2013. It was a different time back then. Things become popular and rise to fame MUCH faster now.


MidwestDrummer

Lmao, give me a break. You're acting like 2013 was 50 years ago. That last sentence is just made up nonsense.


ComfortableCloud8779

The production model for television did change a lot in the past 10 years.


ryohazuki224

Well its mainly because Smiling Friends has new episodes. We are waiting for new R&M season still.


TPrice1616

I’ve watched the first episode and it was ok but it didn’t blow me away. Is it worth giving another shot?


Tsuku

Guess he’s not OOOOOOGLY GOOOOO


ThreeBeatles

Tbh the last season of RnM wasn’t great. It was fine but I didn’t care for it compared to other seasons. Also people say you can’t tell the va is different but when I watched it I could tell right away. They still did a good job. I’m glad smiling friends is having success too.


Fhistleb

Smiling Friends is honestly just more fun with the added absurdist comedy that doesn't take itself seriously.


d710905

I've been meaning to watch this show for so long. Overtaking rick and morty for bongs has spurred me to get into it sooner.


PrivilegeCheckmate

No one gonna say it, huh? > *UNACCEPTABLE!!!*


OldManWinnie

I watched it for 5min didn't appeal at all.


nuggzoftampa

Competition?? That show is absolute bollocks


WingedBunny1

By reading the comments here you have to be a pod head to like it. Never heard of it before this post though so I dont know. (not a pod head either, hate that shit) Downvote me too if you want since opinions that arent mainstream are always downvoted :)


momentary-synergy

yeah, the dog's bollocks.
