'Smiling Friends' on Adult Swim Is Somehow Already a Hit Among Fans

By Chrissy Bobic Adult Swim premiered an animated special called on April 1, 2020 and what followed was an onslaught of viewers who desperately needed more. The Cartoon Network block of late night shows has been known to draw in lovers of the weird and kitschy, and with the funky animation and warped sense of humor throughout Smiling Friends, it was right on the money for a particular brand of weird.

To be fair, he’s 100% unmistakable.

"Should his eyes be open in the shot we use?" "It's Mike Stoklasa, it doesn't matter."

That's a great suspicious reaction image

Lmao all the pictures of Mike and they go with one where it looks like he was stung by a swarm of bees.

Seriously now - are you gonna post the last Picard review?

Looks like Rich forgot his Diabetes medication again.

Zach Hadel, Michael Cusack, Marc M and Tom Fulp? Sick.

I've been a fan of both you guys and the Sleepycast crew (which includes Zach) for a long time. It was really awesome seeing the two together! I know people say this a lot, and Zach is notoriously camera-phobic, but this would indeed be my BOTW dream team.

hundreds of videos to take a screenshot from and that's the one they go with.

What a hunk.

Rich on the left, Jack on the right?

In all fairness, they could've used a picture of him holding a box of 'gay cake mix'.

No one in 2019 would suspect that 2020 would bring us both a global pandemic and Mike starring in a comedy with Finn Wolfhard.

I was surprised at how much I loved that 10-minute episode. I really hope this show gets picked up and I really hope Mike makes more appearances.

"Mike Stoklasa has experience as a writer, director, and actor, mostly in animation." 🤔

I have a feeling they don't know who he is outside IMDb

Is Bliblie control replacing Half in the Bag?

Nice voice over work, Mike!

i feel this is mike channeling his sorrow over what they have done to star trek.

For a moment, I was confused about what this is, and I thought maybe the animated show was based on RLM, but then I instantly realized that clearly isn't the case, when I saw that the red character on the right is waaaaay too tall to be Jay, who is of course "pissed off that [he's] so tiny."

You should sue for copyright infringement. They clearly stole the motif of HITB with Jay, Mike, and Mr Plinkett.

Mike's best voice acting work since "Sergio". VERY COOL opportunity for you, Mike, hope they make more episodes and you get to do it more in the future. Been re-listening to your Phantom Menace and Star Trek V Plinkett commentaries recently and it's amazing to me how you have these entire conversations between impressions/characters, always thought you should be doing more voice acting.

As much as I love Mike, this was really too weird and stupid for me, to be honest.

A show with one episode is " hit among fans"? It sure would be surprising if the fans of the show with just one episode were disappointed by it. I guess they mean "fans" of the manchild-oriented, cocktail-umbrella-in-a-dogturd animation genre. Mike is great. He is the cocktail umbrella.

PROUD OF YOU MIKE!

Yeah seriously, a headline that screams "totally NOT an advertisement written by the PR team". That and the number of times in the article body that they suggest how crazy Adult Swim would be not to pick up the pilot. Though for Mike's sake I do truly hope it gets picked up.

That was great!

It's good to see people you like (even if you'll never meet them in person) succeed.

nice! i wish before i die of terminal over-wishing that mr. plinkett releases an autobiographical audio book. a physical copy would just get tied to another beatles member's assassination :-(

Mike, you deserve nothing but the worst, we're all fucking proud of you.

Congrats!

Have long been a fan of Zach's stuff back when he did newground animations, back before I found you guys. So hearing Mike's voice in a show together with some of the people I've adored since I was a wee lad was an amazing experience. I can only hope it was as fun making it and that you might be willing to put up with Zach, Tom and the other guys' escapades in the future to create more episodes. Hope you guys stay safe!

Does Fulp still run Newgrounds?

I always assumed we'd see Mike hired to voice Palpatine before anything else. This is a refreshing surprise!

I just discovered Ollie & Scoops, featuring Mike AND Rich, voicing cats. Whaaaaaaaaat

I caught this when it premiered and instantly recognized the voice. I enjoyed the episode since I like the previous work of the creator and I hope it picks up and Mike is a regular or semi-regular on it.

Enjoyed the short and Mike's performance. Thanks for letting us know about this.
