Smiling Friends

Smiling Friends is an adult animated sitcom created by Zach Hadel and Michael Cusack for Cartoon Network's nighttime programming block Adult Swim. The show revolves around the surreal misadventures of a small charity and its four employees dedicated to spreading happiness. It utilizes a wide variety of different art styles and animation techniques, which include but are not limited to stylized traditional animation, computer animation, rotoscoping, stop motion, Flash animation, and live-action. The pilot episode aired April 1, 2020, unannounced as part of Adult Swim's annual April Fools' Day event alongside the premiere of Cusack's other series, YOLO. On May 19, 2021, Adult Swim ordered a full season that was initially set to premiere in late 2021. A panel dedicated to the series was held during the Adult Swim Festival on November 12, 2021, where co-creator Zach Hadel mentioned the show would premiere "within a few months", pushing the release schedule ahead to 2022. The first season contains nine episodes, including the pilot and an 11-minute special. The first season eventually premiered on January 10, 2022, with Adult Swim airing all episodes of the season, except for the special, in one night despite initial plans for a weekly release. Smiling Friends was acclaimed for its animation, writing, humor, characters and voice acting. It was renewed for a second season on February 9, 2022. The season premiere aired on April 1, 2024, with the rest of the season beginning to air on May 13. On June 13, 2024, Adult Swim renewed the series for a third season.

Pim and Charlie are called to help Desmond (Mike Stoklasa), a depressed and suicidal man who keeps a gun pressed to his head at all times. Pim first brings him to visit his family, who turns out to be way more dysfunctional than Desmond's by a long shot. He cheers up a little when taken to an amusement park, but subsequently reveals his worldview and key cause of his depression, causing the optimistic Pim to suffer a paralyzing existential crisis. Meanwhile, Allan finds that the office has been infested by small creatures called "bliblies". When the Friends come back to the office with Desmond, they find the office overrun with the bliblies crucifying Allan. Desmond uses his gun to shoot a bliblie, which gives him a renewed sense of purpose and inspires him to start a pest control service. Note: This is the series' pilot episode. It was aired as part of Adult Swim's annual April Fools' Day event, and would later air with the rest of the episodes as part of the series premiere.

The illustrious career of famed celebrity Mr. Frog is jeopardized after he attempts and fails to eat a TMZ reporter. Pim and Charlie are tasked with rehabilitating Frog; first, the two try to get him to quit drugs and have him donate money to the city, which goes awry when Frog accidentally slices off the hands of the city comptroller with the edge of a novelty check during the ceremony. They then put him on "sleeping pills" given to him by Charlie, only for a lucid Mr. Frog to say something extremely offensive on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, getting him completely blacklisted from the industry. Meanwhile, Glep is hired as Frog's replacement on The Mr. Frog Show, but the show's ratings-obsessed producer finds his ordinary behavior too "toxic" and forces him to tone himself down. The show's audience reacts with disgust to the reboot during its filming. Frog then appears in the studio to apologize and ends up eating the producer out of spite, regaining the public's love and becoming rich enough to host the show himself. Note: A puppet version of this episode aired on April Fools' Day 2024.

Pim and Charlie are called to help Shrimp (David Firth), an awkward, reclusive gamer who was recently left by his girlfriend, Shrimpina. Charlie believes Shrimp should move on, while Pim aims to reunite the two and seeks her out to set her up on a blind date with Shrimp. However, Pim ends up developing feelings for Shrimpina and tries to steal the date for himself, but changes his mind once he sees Charlie with a miserable Shrimp at the agreed upon meeting spot and reluctantly reintroduces the two. As it turns out, the woman Pim located was not Shrimpina, but a stranger named Jennifer. However, Jennifer finds herself attracted to Shrimp anyways, leaving Pim heartbroken. A preview before the episode asks the audience to vote on whether a new character, "Smormu", should be added to the show. He - who had been voted in by the audience - attempts to cheer Pim up as the episode ends. The "In Loving Memory" running gag of the series' credits shows that "Smormu James Carter" was later beaten to death. Note: A puppet version of this episode aired on April Fools' Day 2024.

While getting dinner at the popular fast food restaurant Salty's, Pim and Charlie find founder Simon S. Salty dead in a back room. They call the police, who explain that the murder investigation division was moved to a separate company due to budget cuts; Mr. Boss then calls and informs them that the Smiling Friends are in fact the police's new division. They interrogate Salty's team of living mascots, all of whom display alarmingly unhinged behavior. They eventually recover security footage from the discontinued "century egg" mascot that reveals that Salty had ultimately died of a heart attack from his own unhealthy diet (ironically, after eating what he swore would be his last burger before changing his lifelong eating habits), but that all of his mascots later separately attempted to kill him for their own reasons, unaware that they were attacking a corpse. Gleefully after they are declared innocent, the mascots leave the restaurant and immediately begin to wreak havoc in public. Post-credits scene : The Friends bury the century egg somewhere in China at his request, only for Charlie to dig him back up when Pim wonders what he tasted like.

While fetching a Christmas tree for the office on Christmas Eve, Pim and Charlie argue about the latter's pessimistic attitude until a tree falls on Charlie and gruesomely kills him. He awakens in Hell, which has frozen over as Satan is suffering from a bout of depression. Charlie travels to Satan's castle and offers to make him smile, on the condition that Satan must send him back to Earth if he succeeds. Satan finally smiles after harming Charlie and realizes that torturing people gives him pleasure, and tries to back out of their deal, only for God (Gilbert Gottfried) to reveal the whole thing was a test, and send Charlie back to Earth during his funeral. An elderly Glep, who has been narrating the episode the entire time, informs his grandson that the story is true and that Christian Hell is real before wishing the audience a Merry Christmas.

The illustrious career of famed celebrity Mr. Frog is jeopardized after he attempts and fails to eat a TMZ reporter. Pim and Charlie are tasked with rehabilitating Frog; first, the two try to get him to quit drugs and have him donate money to the city, which goes awry when Frog accidentally slices off the hands of the city comptroller with the edge of a novelty check during the ceremony. They then put him on "sleeping pills" given to him by Charlie, only for a lucid Mr. Frog to say something extremely offensive on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, getting him completely blacklisted from the industry. Meanwhile, Glep is hired as Frog's replacement on The Mr. Frog Show, but the show's ratings-obsessed producer finds his ordinary behavior too "toxic" and forces him to tone himself down. The show's audience reacts with disgust to the reboot during its filming. Frog then appears in the studio to apologize and ends up eating the producer out of spite, regaining the public's love and becoming rich enough to host the show himself.

Pim and Charlie are called to help Shrimp (David Firth), an awkward, reclusive gamer who was recently left by his girlfriend, Shrimpina. Charlie believes Shrimp should move on, while Pim aims to reunite the two and seeks her out to set her up on a blind date with Shrimp. However, Pim ends up developing feelings for Shrimpina and tries to steal the date for himself, but changes his mind once he sees Charlie with a miserable Shrimp at the agreed upon meeting spot and reluctantly reintroduces the two. As it turns out, the woman Pim located was not Shrimpina, but a stranger named Jennifer. However, Jennifer finds herself attracted to Shrimp anyways, leaving Pim heartbroken. A preview before the episode asks the audience to vote on whether a new character, "Smormu", should be added to the show. He - who had been voted in by the audience - attempts to cheer Pim up as the episode ends. The "In Loving Memory" running gag of the series' credits shows that "Smormu James Carter" was later beaten to death. Note: A puppet version of this episode aired on April Fools' Day 2024.

While getting dinner at the popular fast food restaurant Salty's, Pim and Charlie find founder Simon S. Salty dead in a back room. They call the police, who explain that the murder investigation division was moved to a separate company due to budget cuts; Mr. Boss then calls and informs them that the Smiling Friends are in fact the police's new division. They interrogate Salty's team of living mascots, all of whom display alarmingly unhinged behavior. They eventually recover security footage from the discontinued "century egg" mascot that reveals that Salty had ultimately died of a heart attack from his own unhealthy diet (ironically, after eating what he swore would be his last burger before changing his lifelong eating habits), but that all of his mascots later separately attempted to kill him for their own reasons, unaware that they were attacking a corpse. Gleefully after they are declared innocent, the mascots leave the restaurant and immediately begin to wreak havoc in public. Post-credits scene : The Friends bury the century egg somewhere in China at his request, only for Charlie to dig him back up when Pim wonders what he tasted like.

Pim and Allan try to help washed-up video game mascot Gwimbly after he ends up on the company's doorstep by getting his parent company to make him a new game. When the CEO refuses, they decide to crowdfund the game themselves, leaving him enraged that they are using his intellectual property without permission. As he hunts them with the company's new mascot, Troglor, the trio discovers that Gwimbly's ex-nemesis is busy with his family life and his sidekick has died of a fentanyl overdose. Meanwhile, a violent, burly man named James breaks into the Smiling Friends' office. He forces Charlie to do increasingly degrading things to (unsuccessfully) make him smile, culminating in him tearing Charlie's nose off. The CEO chases Pim, Allan, and Gwimbly into the office, where James stabs the CEO to death; satisfied by this, he finally smiles and leaves. Gwimbly and Troglor later join a Super Smash Bros.-esque crossover fighting game, with Mr. Boss also joining as a playable character. Post-credits scene : James drunkenly expresses remorse for how he treated Charlie, believing Charlie to be the only person who truly cared about him.

Pim and Charlie get a call from the concurrently running and very unpopular President of the United States, the unhygienic and unintelligent Jimble (Mike Bocchetti), requesting help in winning the upcoming election. He is struggling to run against his rival Squiggly Miggly as well as the sudden nomination of Mr. Frog, who gains countrywide support despite him openly reveling in extremely violent behavior. Their attempts at earning him a higher approval rating fail as Jimble soils himself during a speech, inadvertently crashes the economy trying to make everyone rich, and establishes a foreign policy with an infamous dictator that has committed genocide against an entire race of people. While walking out in frustration, Charlie accidentally discovers a secret society of worms in the White House basement that are trying to sabotage the vote in favor of Mr. Frog, but accidentally persuades them into supporting Jimble instead upon revealing that frogs eat worms. At the Presidential Debate, a despondent Jimble admits that he was utterly incompetent as President and expresses remorse, swinging public favor in his direction. However, a single vote submitted by Glep causes Mr. Frog to win the election anyway via the electoral vote. Glep is doxxed by the news as he is angrily confronted by his friends, but they change their minds after his unintelligible explanation. Post-credits scene : Jimble relaxes at a beach and enjoys retirement, taking advice Charlie had given him earlier in the episode.

Mr. Boss tasks Allan with buying more paperclips for the office. Allan obtains them from an electronics store, but is faced with various obstacles and misadventures before he can make it back to the office - namely a thief, a helicopter chase with the U.S. Air Force, a Sasquatch, a crew of undead pirates, and finally a massive leviathan that swallows Allan and ejects him from its blowhole. He washes ashore with the box of paperclips, but opens it to find it empty aside from a ransom note telling him to retrieve the paperclips from his own apartment complex. There, he meets his landlord, who reveals he orchestrated the entire escapade to get Allan to spend time playing Burnout: Revenge with him, threatening to detonate a bomb that will ravage the entire city if he refuses. Allan reluctantly complies before using a paperclip to defuse the bomb. Ashamed at having been outsmarted, the landlord commits seppuku. Allan returns to the office with the paperclips and is rewarded with a miniature figurine of Mr. Boss. Uninterested in keeping it, he gives it to Charlie instead. Post-credits scene : The landlord resurrects in a morgue, swearing that Allan will hang out with him again.

After Mr. Boss marries a malformed succubus named Brittney, the company undergoes a complete rebrand under her influence. Suspecting Brittney of having sinister intentions, Pim, Charlie, and Allan do more research and learn that "Brittney" is actually Filia Diabolus, the daughter of Satan who manifests every 100 years to kill influential men and grant their belongings to her father, and that the only way to defeat her is to kill her during a full moon. Since the moon is full that night, they race to Brittney's castle (except for Allan, who leaves for an appointment with a "Doctor Monster"). Pim's attempt to stab her in her sleep fails when the knife Charlie had drunkenly purchased from a fellow wedding attendee turns out to be a prop knife. Still, she wakes up and becomes so distraught upon learning of their intentions to kill her (though admits that their assumptions were correct) that she jumps out a window, becoming fatally impaled by her own rose bush. Mr. Boss thanks them for freeing him and declares that his true love is his work before singing to the four uncomfortable employees. Post-credits scene : Mr. Boss (who obtained 25% of Hell following Brittney's death) and Satan argue over fence line property boundaries. Note: Doug Walker makes a cameo appearance in this episode, portraying a parody of his Nostalgia Critic persona; a demonology-focused YouTuber whose videos Pim, Charlie, and Allan consult for information.

Pim takes Charlie to his UFO sighting group – Bill, Duncan, and Fillmore (David Firth). The meeting proves uneventful until a UFO arrives and abducts Pim, Charlie, and Bill – the latter of whom is dissected and eaten. The aliens that abducted the trio are then abducted by a different alien race, who are hosting a party that Pim and Charlie unwillingly participate in. The hosts (Mike Stoklasa and Rich Evans) implore Pim and Charlie to vaporize a populated planet as a "prank", promising to take them home if they do and threatening to place them in an eternal torture chamber if they refuse. They reluctantly comply, only for the aliens to reveal that the planet was devoid of life, the torture device was fake, and the ship can't fly backwards, rendering them unable to return home. During the ensuing argument between Charlie and the aliens, the police arrive to arrest them for destroying public property and disturbing the peace. As the partygoers flee, Pim and Charlie manage to hijack a flying saucer owned by the grey aliens and fly back to Earth, which they discover is flat and encased in a glass dome. Post-credits scene : Duncan and Fillmore have been falsely imprisoned for Bill's murder and Charlie and Pim's disappearances. Note: The official description for the episode is intentionally false, describing Pim in the plot of Mars Needs Moms.

After firing an employee named Tyler, Mr. Boss informs the Friends that he must journey to the foreign country Spamtopia to purchase a magical red jewel. Pim accompanies him, as he speaks the local language, Spamish, having learned from his childhood pen pal Oscar. While obtaining the jewel from the elusive "Mr. Jester", Pim accidentally breaks Spamtopia's sole law by making eye contact with Mr. Jester, who, revealing himself to be the ruler of Spamtopia, sentences the two to death. However, he turns out to be Oscar and spares them after remembering Pim, ultimately eschewing the law entirely; Spamtopia thus descends into anarchy. Meanwhile, Mr. Boss has tasked Allan, Glep, and Charlie with babysitting his teenage son Jason, but Jason inexplicably dies shortly after Mr. Boss and Pim leave. Mr. Boss is initially horrified, but uses the jewel to resurrect Jason, who sprouts butterfly wings. Charlie attempts to inquire about a manifesto he found hidden in Mr. Boss's desk. Still, the glittery dust spread by Jason deafens and blinds everyone whilst triggering the building's alarms and sprinklers before Jason lunges at the audience. Post-credits scene : Tyler, while at a bar with Charlie, resolves to focus on a music career instead of returning to Smiling Friends.

The Friends build a snowman out of garbage, naming it Rotten (Dana Snyder). Rotten comes to life after Pim attaches a radioactive daffodil to its head, and Pim decides to teach him about the pleasures of life. Pim denies Rotten's request to visit the beach, claiming the sun will kill him; horrified at the concept of death, Rotten suffers an existential crisis and starts screaming uncontrollably. Charlie enlists Bill Nye to teach Rotten that death is natural and not something to fear, but Nye dies when his hot air balloon flies into power lines. Pim and Charlie leave Rotten on a snowy mountain so he can live forever, but he is returned to the office by a frustrated yeti. Glep suggests storing Rotten in the office freezer, which initially leaves him content, but as time passes, he becomes depressed. As the Friends leave for a trip to the beach, Pim realizes he can take Rotten by putting him inside a cooler, but he melts when another beachgoer accidentally knocks it over. As they mourn him, he suddenly reappears as an ocean wave, along with the ghost of Bill Nye. Post-credits scene : The Friends question the logistics of Rotten's new state of being before he consumes a boat and sends a tsunami towards the shoreline as horrified beachgoers evacuate. Note: The title and official description for the episode are intentionally false; the description states: "After eating a mysterious artifact found at an ancient burial ground, Pim suddenly and mysteriously turns bright green to everyone's dismay."

Pim and Allan try to help washed-up video game mascot Gwimbly after he ends up on the company's doorstep by getting his parent company to make him a new game. When the CEO refuses, they decide to crowdfund the game themselves, leaving him enraged that they are using his intellectual property without permission. As he hunts them with the company's new mascot, Troglor, the trio discovers that Gwimbly's ex-nemesis is busy with his family life and his sidekick has died of a fentanyl overdose. Meanwhile, a violent, burly man named James breaks into the Smiling Friends' office. He forces Charlie to do increasingly degrading things to (unsuccessfully) make him smile, culminating in him tearing Charlie's nose off. The CEO chases Pim, Allan, and Gwimbly into the office, where James stabs the CEO to death; satisfied by this, he finally smiles and leaves. Gwimbly and Troglor later join a Super Smash Bros.-esque crossover fighting game, with Mr. Boss also joining as a playable character. Post-credits scene : James drunkenly expresses remorse for how he treated Charlie, believing Charlie to be the only person who truly cared about him.

Pim and Charlie get a call from the concurrently running and very unpopular President of the United States, the unhygienic and unintelligent Jimble (Mike Bocchetti), requesting help in winning the upcoming election. He is struggling to run against his rival Squiggly Miggly as well as the sudden nomination of Mr. Frog, who gains countrywide support despite him openly reveling in extremely violent behavior. Their attempts at earning him a higher approval rating fail as Jimble soils himself during a speech, inadvertently crashes the economy trying to make everyone rich, and establishes a foreign policy with an infamous dictator that has committed genocide against an entire race of people. While walking out in frustration, Charlie accidentally discovers a secret society of worms in the White House basement that are trying to sabotage the vote in favor of Mr. Frog, but accidentally persuades them into supporting Jimble instead upon revealing that frogs eat worms. At the Presidential Debate, a despondent Jimble admits that he was utterly incompetent as President and expresses remorse, swinging public favor in his direction. However, a single vote submitted by Glep causes Mr. Frog to win the election anyway via the electoral vote. Glep is doxxed by the news as he is angrily confronted by his friends, but they change their minds after his unintelligible explanation. Post-credits scene : Jimble relaxes at a beach and enjoys retirement, taking advice Charlie had given him earlier in the episode.

Mr. Boss tasks Allan with buying more paperclips for the office. Allan obtains them from an electronics store, but is faced with various obstacles and misadventures before he can make it back to the office - namely a thief, a helicopter chase with the U.S. Air Force, a Sasquatch, a crew of undead pirates, and finally a massive leviathan that swallows Allan and ejects him from its blowhole. He washes ashore with the box of paperclips, but opens it to find it empty aside from a ransom note telling him to retrieve the paperclips from his own apartment complex. There, he meets his landlord, who reveals he orchestrated the entire escapade to get Allan to spend time playing Burnout: Revenge with him, threatening to detonate a bomb that will ravage the entire city if he refuses. Allan reluctantly complies before using a paperclip to defuse the bomb. Ashamed at having been outsmarted, the landlord commits seppuku. Allan returns to the office with the paperclips and is rewarded with a miniature figurine of Mr. Boss. Uninterested in keeping it, he gives it to Charlie instead. Post-credits scene : The landlord resurrects in a morgue, swearing that Allan will hang out with him again.

After Mr. Boss marries a malformed succubus named Brittney, the company undergoes a complete rebrand under her influence. Suspecting Brittney of having sinister intentions, Pim, Charlie, and Allan do more research and learn that "Brittney" is actually Filia Diabolus, the daughter of Satan who manifests every 100 years to kill influential men and grant their belongings to her father, and that the only way to defeat her is to kill her during a full moon. Since the moon is full that night, they race to Brittney's castle (except for Allan, who leaves for an appointment with a "Doctor Monster"). Pim's attempt to stab her in her sleep fails when the knife Charlie had drunkenly purchased from a fellow wedding attendee turns out to be a prop knife. Still, she wakes up and becomes so distraught upon learning of their intentions to kill her (though admits that their assumptions were correct) that she jumps out a window, becoming fatally impaled by her own rose bush. Mr. Boss thanks them for freeing him and declares that his true love is his work before singing to the four uncomfortable employees. Post-credits scene : Mr. Boss (who obtained 25% of Hell following Brittney's death) and Satan argue over fence line property boundaries. Note: Doug Walker makes a cameo appearance in this episode, portraying a parody of his Nostalgia Critic persona; a demonology-focused YouTuber whose videos Pim, Charlie, and Allan consult for information.

As Daniel explains his plan, his older brother Doug (Joel Haver) enters to complain about his lack of volume control and inability to find a proper job, ultimately evicting him. Charlie has lunch with Daniel to console him and help him find a new purpose in life, but the effort is unsuccessful as Daniel unintentionally scares away a female waiter. Meanwhile, Pim visits Doug at his job at a construction site to convince him to give Daniel another chance, and is successful after they witness Doug's coworker mourn his estranged brother being crushed to death. Pim and Charlie mediate an intervention between the brothers, which devolves into a physical altercation after Daniel accuses Doug of being addicted to painkillers and not being present for their mother, leading up to her death.

Astounded by this discovery, the brothers resolve to put aside their differences and raise the homunculus together before sharing a tearful embrace. Post-credits scene : Allan cries over a film that is also about estranged brothers reconciling, despite disliking it before Pim and Charlie's departure.

Pim takes Charlie to his UFO sighting group – Bill, Duncan, and Fillmore (David Firth). The meeting proves uneventful until a UFO arrives and abducts Pim, Charlie, and Bill – the latter of whom is dissected and eaten. The aliens that abducted the trio are then abducted by a different alien race, who are hosting a party that Pim and Charlie unwillingly participate in. The hosts (Mike Stoklasa and Rich Evans) implore Pim and Charlie to vaporize a populated planet as a "prank", promising to take them home if they do and threatening to place them in an eternal torture chamber if they refuse. They reluctantly comply, only for the aliens to reveal that the planet was devoid of life, the torture device was fake, and the ship can't fly backwards, rendering them unable to return home. During the ensuing argument between Charlie and the aliens, the police arrive to arrest them for destroying public property and disturbing the peace. As the partygoers flee, Pim and Charlie manage to hijack a flying saucer owned by the grey aliens and fly back to Earth, which they discover is flat and encased in a glass dome. Post-credits scene : Duncan and Fillmore have been falsely imprisoned for Bill's murder and Charlie and Pim's disappearances. Note: The official description for the episode is intentionally false, describing Pim in the plot of Mars Needs Moms.

The Smiling Friends get a call from a ridiculous-looking man named Silly Samuel (Conner O'Malley), who is upset that no one takes him seriously due to his bizarre appearance. Pim and Charlie's various attempts to help him fail, as his physique renders him unable to wear clothes, get plastic surgery, or even remotely alter his body without fatal consequences, and he is unwilling to embrace his nature to become a circus performer. Meanwhile, a building inspector performs a surprise inspection of the Smiling Friends office, during which a nail keeping the building in place is released, causing it to roll down the street toward a nearby park full of onlookers laughing at Silly Samuel. He attempts to warn them while also berating them with truthful yet controversial statements about other topics. Glep stops the building before it crushes anyone; realizing that he was telling the truth, the onlookers label Silly Samuel a "prophet" and carry him off as he smiles. The building inspector thanks Mr. Boss for entertaining him despite the building's abysmal quality before turning into dust. Post-credits scene : Mr. Boss and the Smiling Friends attempt to put the office back into place, but let go of it and cause it to roll down the streets again, ultimately deciding to give up and go out for ribs.

When Charlie feigns illness to skip work and play a new video game and Allan and Glep travel to an anime convention, Mr. Boss rehires Squim, the "first-ever Smiling Friend," to help Pim with a job. Pim initially enjoys Squim's positivity, but becomes annoyed when Squim inappropriately attempts to cheer up an ice cream man mourning his late wife. Meanwhile, Mr. Boss views Charlie's Steam activity and calls him to berate him for lying, threatening to fire him if he does not arrive by noon. On the bus, Charlie actually falls ill and vomits, causing the bus to crash. He deliriously stumbles toward the office, causing traffic collisions and eventually stripping naked. As police surround him, Squim attempts to de-escalate the situation by dancing and is shot. His soul emerges from his body and continues dancing, but is also shot. In the hospital, a doctor informs Charlie that he was infected by a parasite in a kebab he ate earlier. Mr. Boss commends Charlie's loyalty to him and reveals that Squim's soul survived after surgery. Post-credits scene : At the convention, a man asks Glep and Allan for a photo, but Allan declines. The man chases him, shouting that he loves him. Note: The official description for the episode is intentionally false, stating: "After buying a magic mirror, Pim meets Squim. Charlie starts "digging deep" and gets into some really bad internet stuff…like REALLY bad stuff."

The Smiling Friends receive their end-of-year performance analysis from Mr. Boss. Glep's absence confuses Mr. Boss, who is angered after hearing that Glep apparently does nothing all day. Glep quits after being confronted, retreating to his mansion where his wife leaves him over his frequent absence. Depressed, Glep travels to a bar and recounts his life story - born in 329 AD, his presence led to the fall of the Western Roman Empire, the Black Death, and being shunned by the Founding Fathers of the United States, forcing him to live a lonely life as a loiterer. The bar's patrons, horrified by his role in the Black Death, eject him. Upon arriving at a bus stop, Glep recalls comforting a destitute and suicidal Mr. Boss in 1992 after he suffered the brunt of a market crash, thus inspiring the latter to found Smiling Friends. Glep returns to find that the Smiling Friends have fallen into disarray, and Mr. Boss is inspired to rehire him. The Friends enjoy Christmas dinner with their loved ones, though are disturbed when an unusual man resembling Jimmy Durante describes how the previous events demonstrate that "no matter how different we all are, everyone can get along with each other, except for a certain group of people", causing Charlie and Allan to confront him on what group he is referring to — with the man awkwardly trying to clarify that his joke was meant to be a Projective test — and his unexplained presence at the private venue. Post-credits scene : The bar's patrons pray for the victims of the Black Death.

The Smiling Friends get a call from a ridiculous-looking man named Silly Samuel (Conner O'Malley), who is upset that no one takes him seriously due to his bizarre appearance. Pim and Charlie's various attempts to help him fail, as his physique renders him unable to wear clothes, get plastic surgery, or even remotely alter his body without fatal consequences, and he is unwilling to embrace his nature to become a circus performer. Meanwhile, a building inspector performs a surprise inspection of the Smiling Friends office, during which a nail keeping the building in place is released, causing it to roll down the street toward a nearby park full of onlookers laughing at Silly Samuel. He attempts to warn them while also berating them with truthful yet controversial statements about other topics. Glep stops the building before it crushes anyone; realizing that he was telling the truth, the onlookers label Silly Samuel a "prophet" and carry him off as he smiles. The building inspector thanks Mr. Boss for entertaining him despite the building's abysmal quality before turning into dust. Post-credits scene : Mr. Boss and the Smiling Friends attempt to put the office back into place, but let go of it and cause it to roll down the streets again, ultimately deciding to give up and go out for ribs.

Meanwhile, Mr. Boss christens Glep and Allan the "new Smiling Friends" upon learning that Pim and Charlie likely did not survive the fall, and sends them to help a single mother, Maurine, with her triplets. The children wreak havoc until Pim, Charlie, and Mole Man emerge from a vent in Maurine's house as she returns. Mole Man inadvertently exposes himself to her, but she finds his penis attractive.
