Zach didn't want it to become rick and morty 2.0
Also with how popular it got (((adult swim))) would demand more DEI in the writers room, which wouldn't surprise me if that was discussed before Zach was like "oh we should wrap this show up"

The trope was honestly getting old. Even by season 3 it was getting tiresome like a Family Guy sketch that doesn't know when to stop

>>218289980
imagine not getting Smiling Friends this hard.
Basically everything they ever do with Allan is a gag. It comes from a place of whatever the funniest thing that happened in the scene would be.
Pim and Charlie are the only characters who really have any consistency to them. Everything else is just jokes.

meat canyon can voice act all his own characters and draws everything, he didn't need a show on syndicated television why couldn't smiling friends?

If they went the Rick and Morty route in four year they would be on Season 6 and 90% of the fanbase would be gone while most of the writers are female DEIs who write their political opinions into the plot

Just let it die

there's a 100% chance he's seen all those awful fan edits where people with autism put their autismsonas into the episodes.

The show was already getting ready way worse. There were only 3 or 4 good episodes last season. They made the right call
>>
>>218290228
I'd imagine it'd be pretty hard to avoid with how the algorithm works. probably sees shit like that audibly groans and closes the app
>>
Chances are they've got some other shit cooking, and they're just done with Smiling Friends as a thing.
There's no way they started an animation studio, and now they're just going to walk away and do let's plays.
The question is are we getting another Adult Swim show, or 50 more Darren and Damo shorts.

Makes music mostly. He doesn't animate much but he wrote and voiced a few sketches drawn by someone else. They're just as funny as his own stuff imo
>>
>>218290240
Any unfunny asshole can theoretically make a series, case in point Meat Canyon and that faggot with the clown show. There's also unfunny assholes who "make it" and actually get TV airtime. Either way it's not a big change

Meat Canyon is a faggot and his shtick wore thin years ago.

>>218290668
Yes, but he also implements fascism when he wins the election and takes over the world, then gets bored and retires

Continued production would have either required either a full commitment from them with no freedom to work on other projects, or pipelining their animation so that other people could lead it.
>>
((((Funny)))) how this show got cancelled right after the "certain group of people" joke
>>
AS probably would've found some excuse to boot the creators and keep shuffling the corpse around like they did with Dick & Marty anyways. It's better that it ended like this.
>>
>>218289740
He's a hack. He relied too much on niche internet crap to run his show and the minute he ran out of it, he bailed. No amount of "he wanted to stop it from becoming le rick and morty/simpson" will change the fact he made the equivalent of barely a 1 season tv show and he decided that was too much.

If this indeed isn't some elaborate goof, I 100% expect that it had more to do with production politics and corporate conflict than anything.

People can't accept that sometimes in a comedy show some characters don't actually have any character but just used as a joke. For some reason, internet accumulated an audience that always wants some sort of a hidden background lore. Remember Filthy Frank? Most of his characters were one-liners, but people created whole timelines like it's some sort of a high fantasy. This is why shit like Adventure Time or Digital Circus were so popular - these little cringe drama-club kids who sustain 90% of all fanbases of every piece of media ever are fucking dying to have this sort of lame faggotry happening everywhere. I think it reminds them of having gossips and drama. They literally physically incapable of perceiving something without thinking of hidden motives or double-meaning.
>>
I don't understand all the faggotry in all of these threads they are starting a fucking animation studio they most likely had too much work cut out for them and wanted to focus on new projects they would own 100% of

They were very clearly running out of ideas, third season made that very obvious.

Zach doesn't play videogames, he hates them and just leeches off Oney's popularity while providing funny commentary. It's symbiotic relation that both secretly detest.

Also that VA twitterfag was a larp like the leaked diaper scene guy from deviantart. Nowadays everyone just assumes it's real whenever some autist commits to a larp for 2+ months with a twitter quote from one year back and thinks the continuity makes it real.

So what? We can't have an apolitical cartoon go on for longer than three micro seasons? Does every show need to look like Burger King Kids Club now?
>>
>>218289740
They had 2 problems.

1. All shows must become union in their 4th seasons in the US so legally having so many guest animators would've become a headache.

2. Because of their massive popularity there was probably mounting pressure by (((Turner))) to sell out, make SF ads and inject propaganda into the show. This would've got worse after the Paramount buyout so they jumped ship.
They have probably just doomed Adult Swim desu

>>218291033
They're both friends with Justin Roiland, he probably gave then a heads up they'd do the show either with or without them.

I think something that was a big problem I had with the show was all the internet references. Nothing wrong with having someone cameo as a one-off character, but when they would reference chris chan it felt like they were immaturely itching to cram a special interest into their show. When they make jokes about Family Guy doing dumb shit like that, it's funny because you wouldn't expect that of Family Guy. You would, however, expect it from Zach, and so it falls flat.

>>218289823
He hates the idea of Funko pops and mass commercialism but was forced to go to those gay Smiling Friends break room pop ups and interact with the man children fans that go to cons and Q&A's. I think it all just broke him.
Check out some of the threads on reddit, shits hilarious. Some are saying if they knew it was going to end so soon they wouldn't have bothered watching it at all. It's a fucking 10 minute self contained funny show not some grand narrative cut short before it could finish.

you're judging a whole show by background gags that are onscreen for 0.5 seconds lol
>>
>>218289740

That last joke they did angered the jews so it was cancelled.
>>
>>218292406
background gags
2 of the 4 listed scenes were crucial to their respective episodes' plots. Referencing things isn't a replacement for jokes, Zach.
>>
>>218290020
Ahh yes, this was clearly too far for these guys.
>>
>>218292584
idk what gags you are talking about, but let's look at nostalgia critic that scene wasn't just in the background it had the fullscreen attention for...20 seconds? maybe less than that? a tiny little gag with little plot relevance. what is your other example? ...charlie playing steam? "it is crucial to their respective episodes' plot because if uh he didn't play steam then he uh wouldn't like eat his food and he wouldn't get sick!" is that the complaint, the steam nod was a blink and you'll miss it moment unless it's from some other episode.

although you're allowed to dislike smiling friends these insincere complaints are so fucking gay and you see this sort of stuff when someone can't articulate why they actually don't like a show, no one dislikes the show because nostalgic critic was onscreen for 10 seconds. do you want me to play into that delusion

I didn't mind Doug, it's more moments like when they crammed in the "DO YOU REALIZE" bit. These guys aren't teenagers, they should know that shit like that is just gaudy and bad writing.
>>
>>218289996
I think he assumes that assertion is true because a woman has never said that to him before. But, yeah, you don't need a woman to say it unless you fuck like an animal and are also simultaneously crazy autistic.
>>
>>218292791
I don't really see anyone else ever complain about do you realize, I didn't even know the reference and the people that do thought it was entertaining or whatever. I'm pretty sure these guys make YouTube videos so this sort of Internet humor or references is perhaps expected, and not really overplayed either. I'd find it hard to articulate why but I thought the show was fairly entertaining, I'm not a mega fan but I watched all the episodes which is rare to get me to do especially for animated content.
>>
>>218292859
I think that creators tend to just include shit in their work that they like, which considering their background includes dumb internet jokes and running gags.
This is like complaining about Genndy putting Frank Frazetta and Conan references in Primal.
>>
>>218292898
When said references are taking the place of actual jokes is when it gets exhausting. The writing in SF is incredibly half-assed all round and the constant references are just one facet of that. A similarly goofy show like ATHF is insanely quotable and memorable because of how well written it was. No one's gonna be quoting SF's "um erm" dialogue any time soon.

i've been quoting Sick Animation for literally almost all of my life

Big difference between making a gay joke, because wouldn't this be so ridiculous, and actually being a faggot. It's like how drag used to be a comedy thing but now it's a "genuine expression of beauty" or some horseshit.
