This Show Will Kill Rick and Morty

No it won't

Nah Reddit will just get 2 shows that they ruin instead of 1

Well the show doesn't contain the nihilism. I mean, it's got elements of it, but at the end of the day, they're working to make the clients smile. What's wrong with that?
As long as Harmon isn't involved, it's safe.
It's a meme, dude.

Rick and morty is already dead, it’s became a zombie in season damn 3. I haven’t seen this show outside of a clip but I can’t see it gaining a following bigger than Mr Pickles ( I think it’ll have the same kind of same canvass)

I hope so.

But I also hope it's just offputting enough to deter normies.

I enjoy both shows and hope both continue

Interestingly enough, Zach (the voice of the yellow man and various background characters) pitched a show called Hellbenders with his co-creater, Chris O'Niel, to [adult swim]. It was denied because they had enough hell-themed shows, and they had just added Mr. Pickles to their lineup.

It literally can't since Rick & Morty has 60 more episodes coming but it definitely could be popular.
Seriously, I haven't seen this much hype for a new Adult Swim cartoon since, well, Rick & Morty.

So, how many episodes before references to this show start appearing on reddit and opinion here changes?

I hope. I'm also scarred dan harmon will wanna but in and write on the show when rick and morty kicks the bucket.
Fuck dan harmom.

It's pretty obvious that Cussack isn't a fan of Harmon so don't worry about that.

I don't know what this show is, or even what it's called, but just judging off the few screenshots I've seen, is this being made by Oney?

Are you gonna tell us what the name of the show is?

People are already getting Rick and Morty fatigue. I haven't checked the rating stats or anything, but I expect them to plummit by the time that 60th episode unless Justin and Dan pull something magical out of their asses.

Replacing one piece of trash for another doesn't sound appealing to me

It's on network television though. I could see it being an an [adult swim] decision.
Also, source on that?

It's a pilot for a show called Smiling Friends and it surprised aired on [adult swim] a couple days ago. Here's the episode It's co-created by psychicpebbles (Zach) and Michael Cusack (creator of that Bushworld Adventures short).
Oney (Chris) made a 3D character render that made it into the episode (he's the guy that appears on the tv screens in the episode). It also features voice talent from Finn and Nick Wolfhard, Tom Fulp (creator of Newgrounds), and Mike Stolska of RedLetterMedia.

it's gonna fail because pandering to guys from sites like this won't work because they don't buy shit. and there's a lot less of them then they think, it's like the opposite of go woke, go broke. it'll be more overlooked than the jellies.

Oh, and Oney also made the end credits music too.

Ah, it was Zach, not Oney. It's honestly been too long since I've seen either of their animations, so I just kinda forgot how they look compared to eachother.

Attached: oh my mistake.png (166x224, 54.94K)

I didn't really like this it was rather boring the lip sync animation was really janky like really badly done

I dont get it Zach and Michael are both funny the art is on point I mean you tell right away who made this but ya its so tame and lack luster even for an adult swim show

Smiling Friends
It's a mediocre at best show that people are losing their shit over because it has e-celebs in it

I thought it would be ironic that a stupid ala ATHF stoner AS cartoon would top the cancer that is existential thematic, especially when this is the polar opposite, using depression and the like and suffering as a simple punchline

but it probably wont happen.

name me three pilots that weren't mediocre especially compared to the series

Yeah, I can never remember which channel that Hellbenders is on. I know for a fact that Leo and Satan is an Oney thing, though.

Unironically, Rick and Morty. I actually think the pilot is the best episode in the whole series.

doc and marty?

name?

this is barely an athf killer, and thats already dead

Ok snowflake

Hellbenders is on Zachs channel

Oh damn, I remember seeing promo images for it a couple years ago. Pretty cool that it's finally coming out.

It's HAVE you illiterate FAGGOT. IT MUST HAVE FELT GOOD.

Maybe having Oney involved was the actual problem.

I mean season 1 episode 1. Doc and Mharti is funny because of the context behind it I guess.

...

Gotcha, thanks.
I'm just now realizing that Tomar is the one who narrated the Christmas and Applooza episodes.

I think this one was kept under wraps as a surprise. You might be thinking about the Hellbenders pilot?

It's possible? Sounds to me like adult swim didn't like the show. They also didn't do a good job at pitching it: youtube.com/watch?v=QGIpMx-bI9U

Nah, I don't have it saved and it may have been under a different title but Cusack was listed as a co-creator.

He also had another pilot that aired the same night as Smiling Friends but I didn't get to see it and it hasn't been uploaded anywhere. It's called YOLO, and it's based on these shorts he did: youtube.com/watch?v=r4bYXGC2W24

If both are successful and on the same channel why would one kill the other? I don't get it.

I believe we will get Rick and Morty fatigue. In fact, I think it's already here. Perhaps people will migrate to Smiling Friends if it gets picked up and turns out to be a good show.

>fatigue
People didn't drop Rick and Morty from "fatigue", they dropped it because the writing to a severe dip in quality past season one. In fact I'll argue they only had enough material for one season and just rambled on nonsense improv

Fair enough. They're going to have to bullshit their way through the rest of the episodes that they're greenlit for somehow. I wouldn't be surprised if they're considering a finale for the show.

>people are losing their shit over because it has e-celebs in it
Yes, like me. Cry harder.

this. cable normies aren't going to give a shit.

I don't think cable normies really care very much about new shows [adult swim] has to offer anyway. The real cable normies want cable normie shit. Aside from Rick and Morty, [adult swim] really doesn't exist to pander to them.

As long as he doesn't start removing/editing his old work then he'll be good

it isn't going to be a super big hit. normies, including my father and every single millenial girl, aren't going to enjoy this show.

He already removed the gremblo art video where the original tittysucking joke came from. He also took down another video with the same character in bed staring at the camera creepily to advertise some Hellbenders merch.

I don't think boomer dads and millenial girls are big fans of adult swim stuff anyway.

For hellbenders or smiling friends?

to be fair it might have just been because the contest and sale where over

I think they were up until relatively recently and they were like 2+ years old. I think he might have removed it because the titty-sucking joke was copied over. I think it had a better setup in the pilot though:
"Hey, you guys kind of caught me in the middle of something. Do you mind watching someone eat?"
>Oh no no no, man, do what you gotta do.
"Okay" - *pulls out tiddy and has little goblin start sucking.*

It's a bit better than this: youtube.com/watch?v=fUcasdOEOvU
Found the reupload, all it's missing is the part where he's doing the titty-sucking for an uncomfortably long time in the background while he shows off fan art in the foreground. One thing I like better in this than in the Smiling Friends pilot is that the freak is voiced by Zach.
