the fact that they put so much promo into this and got a whole vegas sphere ad just for an april fools prank is amazing, so hyped for season 2
did you not see the new episode?
Yea they played the first episode of the season after this
@@rocky.rocks1445hi
Im glad adult swim (even with warner bros discovery’s many dumb decisions) is really putting in work hyping the show up. Zach, Michael, and crew sure deserve it
HELLO WHATS HOMESTUCK DOING HERE
“Her name is Shrimpina, she’d be a shrimp” is the best delivered line in history
I think you meant to say “That is why I do not even bother”
She'd have that iconic shrimp glow everybody's talking about
I am ‘artbroken
"I didn't think of that for a moment, I thought it was a quirky, you wouldn't expect her to be a human sort of thing."
I like "where is shrimpina?" "I dunno, probably at home?"
THEY ACTUALLY DRESSED UP AN ACTUAL SHRIMP
I found it quite humorous that Charlie's eyes are on the side of his head, and when he turns his head, there are two more eyes, so technically he has 4 eyes.
What if he was prescribed glasses? Would he be called six or eight eyes?
@@DakotaofRaptors Actually, that's quite a valid point ! (chuckles) He'd be some kind of insect if he weren't already.
2:57 -ish, you can see all four at once.
peppa pig treatment
Using an actual Shrimp for the Hyper Realistic gag is big brain
SpongeBob logic
I'M DONE LMFAO
I love that bit so much

I was in tears for a good 10 minutes because of that one image 😂😂😂
All of these puppets are such high quality. The Jennifer one almost looked like a real person!
you dope.
Man you really need to get your eyes checked that's a 19th century Edwardian cupboard
The 'spitting' glep was fantastic
Shrimpina*
We’re u taking drugs while watching this
R.I.P. Gilbert Gottfried. His final role was God. How fitting.
Actually his final role was on family guy when Stewie saw Peter and Lois do it and he did a "SPLIT" with one of his personalities being gilbert Gottfried
@@TheAllSeeingEye2468I mean final role on this show
@@watchforever1724 he wasn't on this show till this very EP. It's his only appearance
@@TheAllSeeingEye2468 yeah I know
@@TheAllSeeingEye2468 Okay, well, I'm not about to count a joke role. But fine. His final ACTUAL role.
The actress who played Jennifer killed it lmao
Maybe killed it a bit too much 😂
Well she finished me off that’s for sure
She didn't have to go THIS hard 😂😂😂
@@dah_goofsterdawg what
@@idkwhattoputhere1237 bro I was saying she finished me off with laughter “💀” wth were you thinking dawg? Dirty mind 🧐
4:45 I cannot express how happy it made me to see Glep do the Kermit miffed mouth thing, lol
You don’t make something like this without being an insane muppets fan
thats hilarious didnt notice that first time
He does it at 4:15 too :)
Pim does the same thing in the Shrimp episode btw
That gleb puppet is adorable
Ikr I need one lol
I hope they start selling them
Need it so bad! And Smormu!!
@@DarkhalfBreed
YES, I NEED ONE
The way it spits is hilarious 😂
6:55 Jimmy hitting the desk is such a good bit, even better with soft puppets, it makes it even more obnoxiously loud.
the face too. so good.
The casting of "shrimpina" was phenomenal.
From Adult Swim finally giving Zach a chance after shooting down his pitches a few years ago to it becoming one of their biggest hits. Proud of the homies Zach and Michael.
Too bad Chris couldn't get his 2 shows on adult swim
@@sam4744Chris made the intro song the clay monster that pops out of the tv and voiced the guy that said “i missed my daughters wedding for this” along with some other random background voices and im sure he works on the animation to
@@TheRealRusDaddyI think he also voiced Smormu
@@TheRealRusDaddy and he also made the end credits theme
@@TheRealRusDaddy He also did the fry creatures
That actress is so lucky to get to kiss that shrimp puppet
It's supposed to be me! Not her! It's not fair!
MouseQuestII is the way to his heart.
The way her accent goes away at the end will always get me 😂😂😂😂
@@Adultz94 you're right
She was SCHLORPIN that thang
14:48 "I like your hair"
"Oh this ol' thing? Hah yeah It's actually just an exposed nerve ending"
🤣🤣🤣
3:40
That’s why he screamed like that when Mr. Frog pulled it lol
25:09
Jennifer going to town on shrimp was the funniest thing I have ever seen today 💀💀
just seeing someone make out with a sock puppet in general is just hilarious
Bro even my boy Stanley got in on this. They need to make more of these honestly.
Somehow Jennifer and Shrimp making out is even more hilarious when it's an actual human and a sock creature, lmao
i hope her career soars from that obscenely good performance alone, she put her heart and soul into making out with a sock puppet.
Jesus christ she's really diving in there
10/10
She really went for it. Legendary.
21:25
@@SithlordSigma That punctuation at the end makes your comment a lot more frightening...You gettin off on this big boy?
RIP Gilbert Gottfried, it’s good to hear his voice again in something that, while not exactly new, is a new way to experience one of his last roles
It was his last role last time i checked
@@thatonescrambler he did royal crackers to idk what his last role is
yeah these guys were very fortunate to get his last performance, hopefully season 2 is just as funny!
F
@@thatonescramblerIt's debated, I don't think anybody really knows what the last actual thing he recorded was and I think some stuff came out posthumously and post-Smiling Friends that also had him in it
15:57 this is art
Fr
7:27 this scene is true art
There is someone on a missing persons poster, with family waiting for their return, casually hollowed out and decorated for a show on some alien ship rn
2:57 the fact that the Charlie puppet has 4 eyes just in case he turns around is hysterical
He's going through the Peppa pig syndrome
@@maxwellschwassfr
Maybe he does have 4 eyes
@@jcshark7023 Well maybe I like that
33:00 “I’m completely naked. Be careful where your hand goes, dude.”
Puppet Pim’s hand: (goes right for the smiling critter)
Lol I just noticed that.
I just saw that
He was very careful with where his hand went. It was right on target
14:11 I love how the address number is blurred out, just as Pim would have seen it
OMG good catch xD without glasses everything is like that for me too, Pim needs to go for a pair ASAP.
@@kamatariedgar3603even with glasses small letters morph on paper in front of my eyes… bad eyes
@@Roach_Dogg_JRI think that’s dyslexia
@@DeathnoteBBnot at all! If you wear glasses you know 8 and 3 look like eachother sometimes! No lie 🙅♂️
the fact that this ad is actually longer than any Smiling friends episode and I watched it makes me truly feel bamboozled.
Kudos, you got me this April fools.....
it's 3 full episodes no?
17:09 I love how tiny Pim looks on the bed! 🥰🥰
If you sell that Glep puppet/plushie, you're going to make a lot of money together.
Fr
Tuco coded
they would sell out in less than a week
Just don’t forget who you’re working for.
Pim to, he looks so cute ❤
Love how Charlie has four eyes to keep that side profile on the shrimpina episode
Edit: It was also in the mr. frog episode. I missed that somehow lol.
It's like Peppa Pig and that one scene in don't hug me I'm scared
@@How_To_Drive_a_TARDIS Pepa pig?
You can also see it when they’re in the Mr frog mansion
mr frog episode as well
profile
/ˈprəʊfʌɪl/
noun
1.
an outline of something, especially a person's face, as seen from one side.
"the man turned and she caught his profile"
I love how Pim is the only recurring character that doesn’t swear. He’s so innocent 🥺
What about gleb
@randomride6057 gleb is absolutely foul mouthed, idk what you're watching
The Jennifer puppet is incredibly lifelike
26:16 “That’s made out of cardboard, man.”
That line is even MORE accurate now
2:27 Puppet Glep’s dance is even cuter then it was in its animated form.
truly made my day
When you're right, you're right
We need a 10 hour version!
doyduhdehdhrueydheu
3:17 teacher force u to apologize teacher pet
4:34 👁👁
The last role Gilbert Gottfried is credit for playing is God in Smiling Friends. Lost to soon, but what a poetic note to go out on
not his last role but probably his last time playing god
28:05 I was kinda disappointed since the puppet clearly couldn’t properly recreate the original scene but then how they did the punch… fuckimg marvelous
Whoever decided to recreate 3 episodes in puppet form deserves a raise!
Same with the guy who did all that marketing leading up to this
It was the AI who thunk everything up
I love how all three episodes have such unique strengths. Mr. Frog had the most expressive puppetering, the Shrimp one had a low-budget charm and great use of live-action, and the Christmas one had the most detailed puppets.
I would like to see Adult Swim do this again with more Smiling Friends episodes, as well as other Adult Swim shows like Robot Chicken, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, The Eric Andre Show, and Joe Pera Talks with You
31:28 I can’t stop crying at how fast Charlie flops onto God’s hand
i mean he did say to quickly get on
31:35
21:00 the actress passionately kissing the puppet is fuckig hilarious
I love how because Glep is so small he can just be puppeted with a single hand.
15:56 They did such a good job with this joke. I think I actually just woke up my family members laughing at this
I was hoping for something good like they did in the original since it was one of my favorite scenes but this ones even better
Bruh I died
It even has the little dude in the clothes rack in the background
When your April Fools is so high effort, that it goes back round from a joke to a masterpiece:
i love how this is literally just like the first 4 episodes of smiling friends for free for no reason but in puppet form
14:18 no way they did the burger king foot lettuce voice! Chillz
I think the only thing that would have been funnier would have been to get the real Jimmy Falon on set to mirror his more detailed appearance in the animation.
his ego is too fragile to do anything like that, he cant even joke about himself. hes painfully unfunny as is
Or a cardboard cutout of him with a human mouth superimposed onto it
I’m slightly disappointed the puppet Jimmy Fallon couldn’t move around and slam the desk
Pretty sure he was rotoscoped in the episode but I may be wrong, it's been a while
@medlievans9918 I think it was a rotoscoped actor.
Honestly this has too much effort to be an April Fools joke. Like I would watch a whole series like this.
Thats the joke
12:33 Mr. Boss is giving me megalophobia
Lol I thought you said megalovania 😂
@@peterson172undertale fans when a word has “megalo” in it (it’s a sans reference)
The attention to detail in the puppet designs is truly impressive, especially considering the humor and creativity that brings each character to life.
It's insane how the designs perfectly translate into puppets. Like they were really thinking of this for years weren't they
Alright bro calm down ✋🏽. You act like these puppets were made by the Jim Henson Company 😂
Yeah, it’s really neat
The characters are literally different colored blobs
@@skippyjones2291 _aesthetically pleasing_ different colored blobs
Honestly, can’t even be mad that this isn’t season 2’s premier. This is absolutely gold
They did show s2 episode 1 right after
They did air a new episode live though on TV after the puppet episodes...
Well I can and I am
@@StefanyDjuba Why?
I just realized Mr Frog is actually Kanye West
yep
More like Justin Roiland
lowkey ezra miller energy too lmao
@@yeetrepublic9142The episodes were made before the allegations, so I don’t think so.
7:25 the puppet face is priceless
The puppets are DIFFERENT every episode!?!? Sheesh you guys went all out this is ebig
The visual comedy of the skeleton was so great. Also love the gross-up on shrimp guy
The Backgrounds are also in different styles. They must have hired out three different puppeteer groups and just told them to go for it.
Making puppets is easier than animating the frames. Still an awesome April fools gag.
I can only imagine how surreal this feels for Michael and Zach.
I think they had a hand in making this happen. But you're right, seeing the final project of your show made into a 1:1 Muppet episode must be hilarious, or uncanny.
its a cool ride as a guy who used to regularly check for new stuff from them in the 2010s
Zach and/or Mike probably played either the boss or Satan, or did some puppeteering
To be fair, Zach gets scared by mundane inconveniences at the store checkout.
I've actually been meaning to give Smiling friends a watch but never got around to it. These puppet episodes are actually my introduction into the show lol, definitely gonna go check the rest of the series out now.
There’s a sort of innocence to this show.
Everybody looks like they're about to tell their friends not to come to school tomorrow
Is that a Smiling Friends reference included in a Smiling Friends video?
@@contagious-officialI mean it's actually a Smiling Friends reference referencing real events inside a Smiling Friends video
They all have that iconic shrimp glow everyone’s looking for
Mhmm cooked shrimp 🦐
Wait, they contracted multiple production companies to do different styles of puppets for each episode!? This is insane. Mike and Zach being allies to artists and doing things actually interesting and original.
Reminded me of that Rick and Morty trippy short where lots of artists did bits in their own style.
@@rhaedas9085same with that bobs burgers episode
You literally just said allies and made yourself look stupid
There's a post in r/SmilingFriends from one of the puppeteers where he talks about this, plus some photos. Also a clip someone else posted of behind-the-scenes.
@@moreld1
Did they say if live-action Jennifer was Erica Lindbeck or no?
21:34 the fact that they actually had her go sloppy style with the sock puppet 😂
I love the puppets being different for every episode
charlie canonically has 4 eyes like peppa pig
Not all the time tho 😭 only sometimes
@MicahIncorporated no no no... in some of the frames you see all 4... it's horrific
@@FierceDeity35first visible @ 2:57
Mr. Boss, as a real person with a papier-mâché head, is one of the funniest things I've ever seen. This was a perfectly executed prank, and I'm all the more excited for season 2
16:34 I keep forgetting Charlie is a literal “alpha male” guy lol
12:52 BRO IS THAT DAVID FIRTH?!??
HE VOICE ACTS SALAD FINGERS
Yes.
Bro said he voice acts salad fingers like he didn't create the entire show 💀
These puppet recreations make me want a standalone show involving puppets like this. Would be unique
Don't hug me I'm scared has a tv show. It's incredible!
Don't hug me I'm scared has a show and it's pretty good. It's got some like psychological horror elements but it's also really funny
Blart and Son is pretty good
@@WadeAlmai was gonna say the style of humor in DHMIS is pretty similar to this show, particularly the TV series
Absolutely amazing April Fool’s prank. So much work went into making these puppet episodes and it really shows. Not to mention all the promotion for this and the new episode as the cherry on top. 11/10.
11, really?!?
@@drbjr99would you prefer 12/10
@@shjilz 13/10
New episode?
You probably must have seen it, but they aired the 1st episode of season 2 right after the puppets episodes.@@FedSmokerSaverOfBabies
6:10 has 2 different puppets for Charlie. Two eyes each side and one eye each side to depict where he’s looking. Absolutely amazing work.
Should have been three
1 two eyes on the left side
2 two eyes on the right side
3 one eye on each side
@@omnialynne4719 I feel that would have used too many resources.
@@daryantsns3448 lol I realized that too after I typed it, I thought would I do that if I had the job
No
No I would not I'd just cheat and do Really careful camera angling
I think they probably used pins as his eyes and took them out or put them in whenever necessary.
21:50 this is someones unwashed sock
Seeing the credits and how Zach has the OneyPlays cast helping is true friend goals
It makes hearing Tomar say "Christianity was right all along," knowing his Jewish background, even funnier .
@@Havokwreaker i mean both are abrahamic religions so idk :/
No julian or ding dong?
@@ThaligamathorNot that I’ve picked up on-but Zach was never really on at the same time as them
@@ThaligamathorI don’t think they were part of the same crowd, a lot of oneyplays were all friends before Chris made that channel
This is a level of dedication to the craft that goes beyond a simple April Fools prank. I am legitimately entertained to the point where I wouldn’t even be upset if they made the switch to puppet’s permanent.
i mean it shows that puppet shows work and people like em, id love puppet shows to return lol
Worked surprisingly well haha
I mean it shows puppet shows work but because its a direct recreation it also shows a bunch of details in the animation that made them funny were lost so it wouldn't feel as smiling friends to me
@diydylana3151 The facial expressions were the greatest loss. It would be very costly to recreate them via multiple places.
I mean I don't want it to be permanent but a new puppet show made by the people behind Smiling Friends would be dope
Zach and Michael are killing it. Psychicpebbles really understands what's been missing out there in the adult cartoon space. Smiling Friends = lit.
I love how the quality of puppets is different for each episode. The first one has high quality puppets, the second episode has the cheapest quality, and the third episode had medium quality puppets.
God, I love Firth as Shrimp. “I ahm too scared of confrontation. Aah.”
the fact that he just reads ah instead of screaming is so priceless
I am ahtbrooken
16:22
I like how Charlie has 4 eyes now
Like peppa pig
Bros’s about to get clapped in the school hallways
2:46 sometimes only one
dont hug me im smiling
Just what i was thinking 😂
18:20 no way they just straight up brought skeleton 💀
This is perfect dedication to an april fools joke
what's the joke?
@@funkykoh you don’t get it ?
@@whatsmyusernameagain There's nothing to get.
@@funkyk ok dude it’s ok if you don’t get it
@@whatsmyusernameagain Your mom gets it.
The "realistic" cut to Shrimp in the jacket made me choke on my spit
16:11 love how the puppet looks away and bites shrimp 😂
32:45 why is it so scary LMAO
God bless the people keeping puppetry alive these days.
the charlie's grandma puppet was absolutely horrifying
34 minutes of insane puppetry. This is perfect and mad credit to these folks for doing this.
7:43 I just love when people just use their own hands to sell the perspective over the puppets just for the absurdity of it
You’re telling me they spent thousands of dollars and man hours to make a shot for shot recreation of the show as a joke. Brilliant
(captions 18:51) "when do I get to see my shrimp pener again"
I will be watching this for years to come. Thank you so much AS
I only just noticed the funniest part of the Mr. Frog episode, the whole plot was about how Mr. Frog got cancelled and how they could fix it, and how his entire career is over forever, except he becomes insanely rich and powerful. Too accurate
HELLO
@@kwyatt261🔨🐸
Can we just admire how accurate Shrimp's puppet looks? One of the better pranks in Adult Swim history I'd say.
jennifers actor is really pretty
I was so happy to see another smiling friends video and then being told we’re actually getting another season MADE MY FRICKING DAY EVEN BETTER!!!!!😄 can’t wait
The fact that these puppets are well made AND they covered three different episodes.
For an April Fools puppet recreation, this was pretty cool.
Less of an April fools joke and more of a stunning work of art.
23:33 I like this whole exchange that Charlie and Pim do in the original but puppet form is even more hilarious 😂
18:20 man i'm dead
No, SHE IS!
💀
The long running Mr Frog show being significant for seasons 4-17 sounds like a stealth Simpsons dig. Cool.
I can feel that, and it gets more relevant every day. Will they replace or fade away with grace after the first MAIN Simpsons performer retires/dies/ages out.
Marge's VA is 73, with Homer's and Bart's only 6 years younger.
Family guy and American dad shots too
@@murrfeeling It's too late to "fade away with grace."
@@TerrenceNowicki You might be right. Let's aim for "not become a grotesque mockery offending man and god alike".
this was not what i expected but it’s what i truly wanted
This is some next level puppeteering just as an ad for season two and I love it!!🤯
22:14 They even got the dead sock
Shrimpina's LA actor is pretty.
Fr
I think its Jennifer, not Shrimpina :D
@yungfern0Shrimpina
@yungfern0Jennifer
Oh god they even made different puppets for different episodes, that's amazing! It's absolutely amazing how Adult Swim always delivers, especially on April 1st!
Pretty sure they commissioned different artist for each episode :-)
ur pfp is epic

I lose it every time Mr. Frog fires the RPG 😭 you truly saved the show!
This was such a delight. Huge kudos to everyone who worked on this
