I guess he's just the janitor. The one time we see him working he's literally the only one mopping the floors, and to be fair the office is pretty clean so makes sense he wouldn't be doing much.
The Adult Swim short "Smiling Friends Employee Training Software Walkthrough" has multiple shots that imply Glep works in advertising or some similar role for the company.
there is a shot of him looking at stocks on his phone and some people believe he handles all the funds and logistics and whatnot of the company and i like that idea
He's likely a general associate. His job is usually whatever he's assigned to that day, and if he's done with that job, he often waits until the next assignment. Him chilling out most of the time is prolly just us catching him during break.
It feels weird that Glep is the only canonically married main character according to the DVD commentary, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't happy for him
Tbh had that question after the mr frog episode. Same with Allen but he does some occasional work and s2 showed him joining Pim. But he doesn’t care about the client
@@Salza02 Alan seems like he mostly just keeps the office tidy (hence him setting mousetraps, cleaning the dishes, washing the floors, etc.) The only time Glep is ever seen working afaik is when he's cleaning the blood of the bliblies that Desmond killed.
i hope they have a glep centric episode where they show him doing some crazy shit out of the office that gets him gassed by the time he comes back, so that’s why he’s always lazing around. it would be funny as hell for him to come back after vanquishing smeglor of zigblorf and just sleep while no one else gives a shit about his crazy adventure.
I personally love the joke theories that Glem is either: A) Manager, for obvious reasons B) he's been hired for employees moral or make the public more likely to go to Smiling Friends.
@julekambrozik4303 I can absolutely see Charlie hearing a new employee is getting hired and just assume whoever showed up is the new hire. Even if the name/photo on file wasn't Glep accept it.
Yep. And his wife is Nancy and her iconic red jackets. Surprised that Zach didn’t use his beloved Reagan impersonation for old Glep at the end of the Christmas episode.
2:54 lmfao this was the moment Charlie was talking about when they were having a conversation about why they don't hang out anymore. The nose suck! LMAO
Tbh I always just figured Alan and glep were their own team and that we just don’t see it and that Alan’s extra things he does is just because he has ocd
Before you got into the breakdown, you said “there’s one thing I need you to do” and I mockingly said “like and subscribe” and then you hit me with the “enjoy the video” and for that I liked and subscribed
@@ghhn4505 Erm, actually most janitors do have green skin. Kinda terminally online of you to suggest I’m racist for a blatant fact *nudges glasses up face*
My headcanon is that Glep used to be part of the Enchanted Forest because he kinda resembles those little dudes wearing wizard hats scurrying in the background and foreground. I also like to imagine that he just got bored of all the magic crap and ditched it. Then one day, Mr. Boss found him and offered him a job, and he's been working at Smiling Friends HQ ever since.
I think he is an administrative manager, and while he is not on screen he probably do stuff like excel spreadsheets, writing reports and managing the payments of the team.
Zach personally told me that glep is the muscle. Zach broke into my house at night and came into my room. He whispered into my ear as I was paralysed with fear in my bed “don’t fuck with glep dude, he will mess you the frick up bro!”
Personally I think hes their social media person, in the christmas special he's all old and can speak perfect english, but he's currently really small. That means he's likely the youngest of the smiling friends crew imo.
love the video! Heres a fun fact, one of the only smiling friends members cut from the show was actually a janitor! He was blue to round out the colors of the others, I think Michael and Zach said he might show up later in the show? But at the moment we don't know for sure
I love Glep so much. He’s just a little guy. There’s one clip in the Brazil episode where the smiling friends were having a back and forth and everybody just looked over and listened carefully to his important knowledge. (It’s actually right here 10:57)
As the resident office wizard, Glep has the extremely important job of guarding and maintaining the Tomar Emeralds that keep the negative vibes away from the office.
My favorite part of the video on a specific character is the part where he talks about the character instead of just summarizing the entire series episode by episode
I would deadass not be surprised if Glep ends up pulling a Thomas thing from regular show. It’s something the smiling friends directors would 100% do for an episode.
I feel like Glep is just there to either help of not help the plot like in the episode about the President where he voted for Mr. Frog instead of the guy Pim and Charlie were helping
I just had this thought. What if smiling friends works like a call center sort of. The first calls are handled by Pim and Charlie and if a third call comes in it goes to Alan or Glep. I’d say most likely Glep because Alan seems like the manager. Maybe he just does his best work alone.
I think charlie and pim go on the main smiling friend missions,alan is a janitor and a organizer and makes sure everything is generally in check,and glep is the social media person who advertises the company and such,and mr boss is the main guy behind everything,smormu would probably be charlie and pims supervisor but he just doesnt show up so he doesnt rlly count.
I think an office manager would be a better title for Alan, he does seem to do a lot more than just a manager would though. I'd take that to it being a small business
Honestly he might just live there. The fact that he immediately jumps at the chance of getting a job as Mr. Frog might imply that he's not even an employee.
Gleb is like ice bear he is there to seem like he is nothing and slowly reveal crazy complex backstory we only get pieces of that suggest he is a force to be reckoned with
people seem to think glep is the social media manager as he is often found with technology and doesnt mind being seen as a public figure (last part is from when he replaces mr frog as he seems to enjoy being well known)
4:04 - To be clear, that's the producer, not the director. It's an important distinction, because he's much more hateable, and it's much more acceptable that Mr. Frog chewed him up.
I don’t think we’re quite ready to find out what Glep really does. His concerns are far beyond our feeble minds. It’s best we save this mystery for our children to uncover.
Been watching Oneyplays for years and the humor, design and inside jokes being implemented to the show make it so much funnier. Glad to see them excelling!
Glep simply existing makes me smile
I'd say he's doing his job well.
10 likes and 0 comments let me fix that
I'd say that as well.
im going to touch you
This guy knows what’s up
.
Glep is the IT guy he takes care of the technical stuff he's the only one small enough to get under Mr boss's desk since his head is too big
Thanks, weirdly enough not that many people agree
glep exists simply to be swagger and badass
“He’s got that raw, bad boy energy the old Mr. Frog had”
Yes
Simply it is
swaggersouls
glep... well hes glep. we dont know how he got employed but hes glep and hes doing that job pretty well.
He’s the eye candy. The sex appeal
I mean I wouldn't be suprised if Glep is a Tumblr Sexyman
💯😩
Real
ONG
hes the black widow of the team
I always assumed Glep was like a manager or office admin
Good answer
maybe social media manager?
That actually sounds hilarious
always imagined him as the office pet
I like to think either intern or nepo-baby

That makes sense considering in the Brazil episode Charlie says he was talking about finances with Glep lol
Glep is quite possibly the definition of "just a little guy"
and i love him
"A funny little creature"
I threw him at a wall once

Can’t believe you forgot the 5th and best Smiling Friend Smormu

U meant Jombo
He's likely a general associate. His job is usually whatever he's assigned to that day, and if he's done with that job, he often waits until the next assignment. Him chilling out most of the time is prolly just us catching him during break.
Actually this is what id assume unless he has like a joke job.
In addition to that, Glep doesnt is a gardener during the episode where Mr Boss gets married?
@@songatoredenscio2416We all know how much Glep hates gardening.
“OH I SWEAR TO GOD, IF I HAD MY GWIMBLY GUN ON ME RIGHT NOW!!!” 0:20
Every friend group needs:
the ray of sunshine,
the realist,
the details guy,
and of course the bad boy.
Pim
Charlie
Alan
Glep
That real bad boy energy
Glep is my spirit animal. His joyous reaction and little happy dance when he lands the gig as the new "Mr. Frog" will never cease to bring me joy.
It’s funny to me that even Charlie doesn’t know what he does because I myself asked this exact question when first watching the show
I think it would be a fun thing to have a kid division where glep essentially helps kids smile cuz hes a little guy.
It feels weird that Glep is the only canonically married main character according to the DVD commentary, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't happy for him
So that girl in the Halloween episode is his wife not his girlfriend? Good for Glep!
@@thunblot78yes it’s marge simpson his wife
Yeah Marge Simpson is her official name
Name Marge Simpson reference the simpson
You forgot in the Christmas Special, where he finally learned English & has a grandkid.
I like to think he is just so good at making people smile that he always has free time to do whatever he wants
He makes the smiling friends smile.
Glep is the raw bad boy edge the show needs. They just need to tame it
6:29 "What political spectrum does Glep fall under?" "Maybe we'll know in season 3"
I mean...he voted for Mr.frog if that says anything. XD!
I love how this video entirely spawned from "what does this green thing do? "That... uhhh, I actually don't even know"

Glemp
0:53 imagine the rest of the video is just that it just freezes and there was no dialogue it was just clips
Glep unironically turns into Ronald Reagan
a former actor turned politician.
I used to think that too...
*_until I took an arrow to the knee!!_* 🤣
Dragonborn: (*punches me*)
Yep. And his wife is Nancy and her iconic red jackets. Surprised that Zach didn’t use his beloved Reagan impersonation for old Glep at the end of the Christmas episode.

does he get cut up while talking
Does Glep also start the crack epidemic?

To me Smiling Friends was like The Amazing World Of Gumball if it was made for Adult Swim.
It's like a bastardized mix of Regular Show and TAWOG and it's beautiful
I love Gumball but no it’s not even close
@@ShiningTaigaidk, I kinda see the similarities. Multiple art styles/ animation for different characters, absurdist sense of humor, etc.
the thing is that TAWoG originally *was* made for Adult Swim
@@FuryMcpureywas it?
Glep is there to make everyone else smile. Simply put, he’s the Smiling Friend to THE Smiling Friends.
My daughter loves him! She squealed whenever he did his little dance. Gonna have to find a Glep plush now.
6:18 was this foreshadowing that he is a politician or is that just a coincidence that they ended up making him one 😭
He could be in advertising. Or handles the books.
Glep is a janitor in my eyes. He’s got the iconic green janitor skin and purple janitor hat
I think he’s a janitor but the office in normally clean
@CrackedPropane that means he's doing a good job
Woah, erm, kind of freakin' racist to imply people with green skin are all janitors but, okay dude.....
@@ghhn4505 Erm, actually most janitors do have green skin. Kinda terminally online of you to suggest I’m racist for a blatant fact *nudges glasses up face*
janitors are green because they mop toxic waste
I love glep with all my strength that little green thing is adorable
Glep is actually based on me. I don’t know how or where “smiling friends” got my personal information from but… there i am.
8:39 what in the meatcanyon
I love how god is drawn like Zack’s old depictions of human characters
3:13 I don’t know why but the way he screams so frantically is just too funny for me
“GET IT NOOOWW-“ Charlie said calmly…

the strange guy in the wall at 2:07 is actually voiced by finn wolfhard!
Fr??? I thought that was bs😅😊
Ermm, he’s just Glep? I feel like that should be enough explanation
Erm, he's the personification of Psychicpebbles humor, the ultimate "lil critter."
Glep is just a little guy. That all. I want an officially licensed plushie of him.
same his design is perfect for a plush and it would be size accurate 🥺
I was gonna say, "his job is to be highly marketable for merch"
NOOOOO DONT TURN GLEP INTO A MARKETABLE PLUSHIE
I think he is an administrative manager, and while he is not on screen he probably do stuff like excel spreadsheets, writing reports and managing the payments of the team.

Classic Zach
Believable
Sounds like something a tomar creature would do.
Zach is so iconic
Oooh zach hahha
The attention to background animation is what makes me love smiling friends. Most cartoons just have static ones
10:34 There's a picture of him in office as the president.
Omg I never noticed that! So Glep went beyond being a Senator, he became the goddamn president at one point
But did all of the events of the show actually happen?

I literally just finished season 1 today. The one where they go to Brazil is the best one. Shit is hilarious.
It's amazing that the show was able to make an episode where the characters literally do nothing and it was still enjoyable
@@keksidy I know dude. The whole time I was like, "This is rad if they never actually leave the airport."
I feel like Glep is just there to either help of not help the plot like in the episode about the President where he voted for Mr. Frog instead of the guy Pim and Charlie were helping
glep exists to be a cutie patootie lets not judge him now. what a good little fella. just a guy.
There's a fan theory that Glep's the social media manger for Smiling Friends, which is why he's always on his iPad (except when he's slacking)
i think so yeah i think he's a marketing guy of sorts
The boss is the boss.
Charlie and Pim are the field agents
Alan manages the office.
Glep is Glep.
I like to imagine Glep is also manages the office like Alan but he never does any work so it's kinda just Alan who does everything
I just had this thought. What if smiling friends works like a call center sort of. The first calls are handled by Pim and Charlie and if a third call comes in it goes to Alan or Glep. I’d say most likely Glep because Alan seems like the manager. Maybe he just does his best work alone.
Glep is the perfect example of “show don’t tell”
Smiling friends really made it, it’s getting content slop now not just 3 hour video essays
Glep exists so Zach can make a silly voice.
I don't even watch this show but Gleb makes me smile, so he's doing his job.
I think charlie and pim go on the main smiling friend missions,alan is a janitor and a organizer and makes sure everything is generally in check,and glep is the social media person who advertises the company and such,and mr boss is the main guy behind everything,smormu would probably be charlie and pims supervisor but he just doesnt show up so he doesnt rlly count.

@@burymeinjhenny918 yeah
Maybe Glep is their mascot. So i guess he does make people smile!
Glep’s job is just being a cute lil guy and he should get overtime for it.
I kinda see glep as a mascot for the smiling friends. He’s just there to spread good vibes and be badass.
Desmond: "Who's Glep?"
Pim: "I don't know. He's Glep."
Glep is thousands of years old and in his middle age lifespan for his critter subspecies
I think that Glep just hates Charlie or something. He chose to punch Charlie on his own, no one told him to.
Idk about hate, I think he's just not too fond of our favorite yellow critter. In S2E1 Charlie called Glep his best friend and Glep was like "Eh."
i think he punched him because charlie upsets pim in that scene
i completely blanked on the fact glep had a hat, every time I think of him its absent from is visage.
Honestly he might just live there. The fact that he immediately jumps at the chance of getting a job as Mr. Frog might imply that he's not even an employee.
i would say he’s a janitor or a mascot character. he makes people smile too! as shown in the mr. frog episode
Gleb is like ice bear he is there to seem like he is nothing and slowly reveal crazy complex backstory we only get pieces of that suggest he is a force to be reckoned with
Glep exists simply so Zach can do his “stars wars Mandalorian alien impression”
Imagine just being a little guy and then someone made a video essay because you're just a little guy
10:10 rest in peace the goat
Facts 👍
I believe in Gelp supremacy 🙏
people seem to think glep is the social media manager as he is often found with technology and doesnt mind being seen as a public figure (last part is from when he replaces mr frog as he seems to enjoy being well known)
4:04 - To be clear, that's the producer, not the director.
It's an important distinction, because he's much more hateable, and it's much more acceptable that Mr. Frog chewed him up.
I remember the Brazil episode was the first one I ever tuned into, and then thought every episode played out like that😂
found you from the gumball rankings and you quickly became one of my favorite youtubers and this video totally cemented it!
