Smiling Friends Season 2 Episode 1 introduced us to Gwimbly, the abandoned video game mascot. After this new Smiling Friends episode aired on Adult Swim, fans were quick to turn Gwimbly into a real character that existed all throughout modern video game history. Remember when Gwimbly got DLC in Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Mario Kart Wii? I 'member.

    It's no wonder everyone's obsessed with Gwimbly. A PS1 era game character who hasn't had a game in over a decade from a company that refuses to do anything with it? We've all had a favorite game like that at some point.
  • @rinzgon4657
    Gwimbly actually had a cameo in the n64 game worm odyssey too
  • @ZeepTheWocky
    I'm so damn glad we're finally getting season 2 of Smiling Friends. The two year hiatus was absolutely DREADFUL.
  • @kenswords
    Funnily enough, this seems to further support the episode's theme of letting forgotten characters have their chance to shine. Hell, it's even what Adult Swim is built on in the first place, reusing Hanna Barbera characters from the 60s for their shows, because they had the rights!
  • @PatrickMoore-yw6lu
    I'm surprised that Smiling Friends made homage to the line of video game mascots outside of Mario and Sonic with Gwimbly. With the likes of Gex, Bubsy, Earthworm Jim, Crash Bandicoot, Spyro the Dargon, and many more. Good job, Smiling Friends.
  • @Dalton_Boardman2000
    It was absolutely insane Smiling Friends got the rights to use the character.
  • @Jonathan_Collins
    I love the weird and uncanny animation styles they incorporate into this show. It’s like what Flapjack and Courage the Cowardly Dog did, but now it’s coming back to make us uncomfortable in adulthood instead of childhood.
  • @Jonathan_Collins
    I like the confirmation that Charlie was once a homunculus and Pim was a tadpole. The weird little stuff like this being a running gag is great.
  • @PatrickMoore-yw6lu
    I'm surprised you didn't mention the April Fools with the Smiling Friends as puppets.
  • @adoyo
    I remember Gwimbly as the first DLC in smash bros, his frame data was insane and has no reason to be this overpowered, but the CEO didn't want his ip for any next games from the franchise and Gwimbly was sadly never to be seen again I'm glad he had a side cameo in Smiling Friends, you deserve it. your games were goated
  • @anonygoose
    the greatest and most anticipated crossover of all time
  • @keynanmartinez
    I'm happy Gwimbly is back in the spotlight after 20 years!
  • @ps4pro668
    When adult animation is exceeding better than children’s animation. Seriously, children’s shows have the most hellish fandoms (Bluey, Loud House, etc.), but shows like Breaking Bad are chill.
  • @sj1productions68
    I remember when Gwimbly was slated to do that crossover with Crash Bandicoot and Spyro in the canceled PS1 title, "Spryo, Crash and Gwimbly in Greatest Heroes All-Out Defense Force", where they had to stop Ripto, Dr. Neo Cortex and Count Gruxia from opening up the demon realm and releasing the darkness upon the world (in the English localization, this would've been changed to your garden variety "take over the world plot"), but the game got canceled after Insane Ground Breaking Games was bought by Nintendo, similar to how Rareware got bought by Microsoft from Nintendo.
  • @gnarwhal7562
    This episode is such a brilliant takedown of all these game companies that just sit on iconic IPs. Banjo, Rayman, Conker, Sly Cooper, Jak & Daxter, Castlevania, F-Zero, etc. are all franchises that are long overdue for new entries, but their owners refuse to do anything with them. At least Banjo and Castlevania made it into Smash
  • @commonviewer2488
    Gwimbly struck a nerve with everyone still waiting for their old favorite franchise to get revived
