I don’t like the show smiling friends or the people behind it. (hexbear.net)

Did anyone at adult swim or hbo listen to the podcasts these guys made before giving them unlimited money to make a tv show that looks absolutely shit? Seriously they were friends with shadman, how are you supposed to watch a show that’s message is “be kind” and “don’t be an asshole” when they made their careers off of being edgy. Some dipshit c suite exec who they’re probably related too took one look at them and thought “maybe we can get the Rick and Morty demographic and get chuds to riot in a McDonalds over chicken nuggets”. Also the mixed art style makes it the cartoon equivalent of Fortnite, no substance, no identity. A bland product that can be sold and commodified. I really fucking hate this show.

I know the show and remember when it came out. The show seems to be a quirky oddball one. I think its fine. I remember watching the pilot cause it had mike from redlettermedia. Never fully watched the show.

I don't know much about the creators but I have gleaned a bunch from stuff I ran into. They seem to have some youtube gaming posse where they do cumtown lite. I never listened but have read about it online. I mainly know cause that group had some weird beef with ex channel awesome youtuber linkara. Their fans seemed to harass linkara.

Anyway that's mostly what I know and never bothered.

This association with some predator seems clearly gross. But I don't know much about their association.

I don't know if tv execs care or something. If I remember the show originally shelved but greenlit later. I can see why. As for the gross design I guess that's part of the show.
