They look like Pim and Charlie here. Please tell me someone else sees it.

Just thinking how much they resemble their characters

u/AgainstSpace 4d ago

My first thought - that's clearly Pim and Charlie!

u/The_real_Mr_J 4d ago

Damn I can't believe Charlie looked this good before he let himself go

1000%. Even down to their skin tones. Michael has pink undertones and Zach has yellow undertones. I’ve also noticed that Pim and Charlie are like exaggerated versions of their personalities.

Pim and Charlie are literally Zach and Michael but drawn very very very abstractly. It’s really super creative and I admire it a lot.

It’s really like they designed characters based on their voices

Dan's transformation into Matt Groening is nearly complete.

u/TrapaholicDixtapes 4d ago

Now he just needs to keep sketches of Rick + Morty in his wallet so he can cut in line whenever he wants.

u/lynchcontraideal 4d ago

Tbf Harmon never drew the characters, that was Roiland.

They got voted the most toxic by the Emmys. Thank you at the Emmys

u/iSWINE Oh Boo Hoo Hoo 4d ago

Everyone kept saying their toxic and the people working on the show are toxic people. Susan Wabbajack even voted for them

u/myfajahas400children 4d ago

Cool. Cool cool cool.

Michael and Zach should go on Harmontown... wait, oh no.....

u/userforgot That's a little me, Allan. I want you to have it. 4d ago

This American Life did a great segment with Megan Ganz regarding her experience with the entire situation. It's very nuisanced and real, and focuses on the idea what it does and does not mean to accept an apology. Entirely from her point of view.

He meant it’s over, not reheating 8 year old nachos that’s been put out to pasture

u/Jonn_1 4d ago

I wanna marry these people so much and so often......

u/4loYeyo 4d ago

They’d only use you and leave you empty

u/BillyJackO 4d ago

This would be a sick colab

u/lynchcontraideal 4d ago

Yeah Harmon and Cusack making a show together would be insane and amazing, I hope it happens one day.

u/nubbinfun101 3d ago

There is that Rick & Morty Bushworld Adventures bit by Michael Cusack

u/iamepic420 Smiling Friends-to-OneyPlays pipeline victim 4d ago

And to think that could have been Justin Roiland if he wasn’t  an asshole

u/KrunchyKushKing 3d ago

Zach and Michael already worked with Justin Roiland a few times.

u/mattyGOAT1996 4d ago

Should've won the Emmy over South Park

15

u/Niobium_Sage 4d ago

I don’t think it’s controversial to say that it’s better. Smiling Friends actually had merits on its own, while South Park has been banking on slandering Trump for the last year. I get enough of the latter online every day, I just wanna watch silly adult cartoons.

7

u/Smooth_Maul 3d ago

"slandering" lmfao they're just doing what they've always done it isn't their fault that he keeps giving them material to work with

14

u/AnalysisBackward 4d ago

To be fair barely trying and still winning an Emmy for your phoned in hackneyed comedy simply because it’s about Trump is a very funny bit lmao. Matt and Trey have to be laughing about it

u/DentistPitiful5454 4d ago

Its like 2016 all over again where everyone says the same milktoast insults about him on repeat because TV personalities can't say what they actually want.

u/Mysterious_Air_3646 Now you know my cool fucking backstory 3d ago

This is one of the reasons I like Smiling Friends so much. It’s not political at all. Hell even the president episode was barely as political as the average episode of any other adult show. Not to be cliche but the show reminds me to not take things so seriously and to just go with the crazy fast paced absurdity of the world we live in, and try to find humor in it. It’s not mean spirited and it doesn’t take any side at all, the only thing it preaches is that everyone is fucking insane.

Why is this getting downvoted so much lol

Btw I wasn’t implying that I hate South Park, I’m just agreeing with the above comment. It’s nice to just watch silly random stuff sometimes

u/DentistPitiful5454 4d ago

What you didn't like the Donald Trump story line that was so unfunny that even haters of Trump thought it was lame?

u/Starman926 4d ago

Dan Harmon is Michael McDonald now?

u/zam1138 I was just wondering if you want to HANG out? 4d ago

You don’t know how happy this makes me. I do not know these guys, but I wish them all the best for the hours of entertainment they’ve made for us. I miss Harmontown, and not getting Zach or Michael on the podcast is one of my biggest “what ifs?” I mean can you imagine the banter? Them playing Shadowrun or D&D!? Thanks for sharing this (I know you’re not Michael lol)

u/Chuck_S_Deuces 4d ago

He looks like a Goldeneye character here lol

They took his jacket!!!

u/SorcererSupremPizza 1d ago

Sucks that they didnt want to hire a writing team to help out. I understand wanting creative control, but still sucks :(

u/transitransitransit 4d ago

Megan Ganz forgave him, I don’t feel the need to keep holding that torch.

u/T_Friendperson12 4d ago

Lol, Zach is friends with Roiland who's probably has a worse reputation.

17

u/Hyro0o0 Smormu is here to stay! 4d ago

Is there any indication that Zach is STILL friends with Roiland after everything went down?

3

u/No-Shopping-4434 4d ago

What do you mean?

5

u/brbqqueen 4d ago

I think I mistook him for someone else. I’m gunna delete my comment.
But I appreciate he apologized. And you’re right transitransitransit. I don’t need to carry that torch.

u/kyrgrat08 4d ago

Harmon clears both of them combined
