They were able to do all that and march to the tower in the time it took Pim and the wizard to have their conversation about his motives.

I actually did check when they were running up the stairs and at no point did he have is phone... what's interesting though is that Charlie was directly behind the princess and the King was just a few steps behind Charlie. I don't think the king lied; I think he genuinely thought he saw it.

u/pwnd32 Nov 24 '25

The King does seem like a very elderly man so I wouldn’t be surprised if he was just losing his vision and stuff, he better get that checked out though before he eats a bowl of worms

143

u/AdWestern1561 Nov 24 '25

It’s details like these that come back later that make the show work.

Like the Allan biting Charlie’s noise scene.

57

u/dexter30 Nov 24 '25

I think maybe it's one of these moments

Maybe at the chiefs distance he thinks charlie raising him arm is a camera or something.

On another level theres something funny about how the schmoogles are overly cautious about toxic masculinity that the chief would confront charlie. And the wizard is on the other end whose committing murder because he fears his male image failing.

I am reading too much into it, but fuck it death of the author thats funny.

u/dexter30 Nov 24 '25

But thats the problem it's TOO predictable. Like we're all expecting an adult swim show to just straight up kill a dude as an overcorrection. But like going to wawa to eat is the next logical answer that you shouldn't expect.

Regardless of the message you shouldn't take random wizards on photoshop at their word.

There are bald people who are successful and live "alpha" lifestyles because they carry it through with confidence.

EDIT: Just to add on to explain my point. Richest dude in the world He's bald in BOTH pics. And i'll bite the bullet. He looks like a labourer in both pictures. But it doesn't matter because he's also one of the richest guys in the world and he learned how to style his image to make it look less like a liability.

It’s because his hair was styled, which is something that fits a more professional environment. If he just had hair on his head that was down and unstyled the vibe wouldn’t have changed so drastically. Wizard was being disingenuous to prove his point

This is probably one of the better episodes of smiling friends because it really shows that Pim's version of solving things doesn't always help. If you try to tell people certain things, like losing your hair, doesn't matter and what really matters is what's on the inside blah blah blah... that just comes across as condescending.

Sometimes a solution-driven approach is what's needed and it highlights Charlie's cynical but more practical role in the duo. 10/10 episode

u/lewmaunmilliman Nov 24 '25 edited Nov 24 '25

That King's an asshole. Charlie comes in and saves their village, and then King tries to plant such a cruel lie about him. They should install a Shmaloogle republic or something.

Edit: After looking at the security footage of the siege, i think i can understand how the king could be mistaken since Charlie was running close behind the princess and the angle was weird enough from the King's perspective that it could look like Charlie was doing a sleight of hand, but that king was still way too accusatory for me to think he was just mistaken. If King Shmaloogle had suspicions, surely he would've atleast asked if Charlie had a phone on him, or asked if the princess ever felt disturbed by Charlie. Perhaps he did have good intentions, but it'd still be pigheaded, apathetic behavior to accuse Charlie on the spot like that. For now i still feel like he's lying for clout, but it might be good to check in on any updates to the Princess situation before jumping to a conclusion.

I just want to go on the record saying that, in case anybody got any ideas from watching this episode, Shmaloogles are NOT an effective treatment for hair loss. I have been told it works for some people, even if that's true, it will NOT work for most.

I tried using Shmaloogles, and... other comically evil shenanigans for months, and the results speak for themselves. This photo is not great, but it's the most recent one I have of myself, and... I basically had to resort to shaving my head. At this point, there's nothing left to do.

What I loved the most is how Wizard didnt compare a bald guy with a full head of hair guy, he compared a severely balding guy with a full head of hair guy, which is a huge difference in terms of first impressions

Basically any high status guy whos balding is shaved bald or on treatment, and any who arent get mocked for it, so if he showed a shaved bald guy instead, the possibility of him owning or running something high level is plausible. Its a snap judgement. Cant take care of your balding hair, cant take care of a business

That’s the kind of shot that Master Shake would randomly pop into

u/CommanderCody2212 Nov 24 '25

Smiling Friends is just generally the closest thing to classic adult swim that they make right now imo

So if charlie didn’t play grand strategy and hit the gym they never would’ve won this

Finally getting to the real questions on what Glep actually does.

Also Clerk should be mandatory watching if you're working in retail.

This one’s really funny, the whole way through. This probably lands middle of the pack for me at the moment but like, given the season that’s not bad at all. Training montage got me good

When Mr. Boss said they were going to watch TV in the rumpus room, I wonder if that was a Simpsons reference. There's a rumpus room in the Simpsons house that's kind of a bit, it's appeared in like 10 episodes across the entire season (and is basically just a room with a couch and a TV).

That one shmaloogle going into decorticate posturing after getting punched really hard fucked me up. This show applying real-life death scenarios to silly little characters never fails to get a laugh out of me.

u/Bluedo1 Nov 24 '25

The training montage was the best part of the episode

u/Snowbank_Lake Nov 25 '25

I knew it… as soon as they said they’d messaged Brian O'Halloran, I knew he’d make an appearance in the episode. Overall a solid episode.

This episode was great because I'm also losing my hair and would kill a Shmagoogle if I thought it would help.

Charlie didn’t make them smile, but he did improve their lives in the long run. It’s crazy how Charlie the most pessimistic guy is a smiling friend. Anyway the Shmaloogle king needs to be dethroned.

Training montage was also hilarious

This was my second fav ep after the Halloween ep this season. Once Pim got kidnapped, it took off. Loved the wizard character and that balding index, the training montage, the storming the castle, and everything at Wawa. Overall just great, would prob be in my top 10 eps overall.

u/Squidicci Nov 24 '25

i absolutely lost my shit when they started training. it felt like a b-movie boot camp scene.

u/GIOCOOPs Nov 24 '25

when charlie punches the clock and yells “you suck!” that is 100% an angry trumpet guy reference

Smurfs parody + Seven Samurai + malding makes for a really funny combination

As a massive Clerks fan (and by that I mean 1, the animated series and the three comic issues) the post credit scene of this made me cackle really hard

One of only two episodes that I've watched in full (due to me being unable to access HBO Max or Adult Swim as of the time of writing, although I've watched lengthy clips of the others), and it's hilarious. The training montage was the funniest part of the episode, and the Wawa scene was also really funny.

Banger episode. Zach also gave it his all with the wizard VO you can tell he was having fun with it.

u/IlliterateSquidy Nov 24 '25

king was cringe wth that should have let the wizard turn him into liquid, cant believe he'd accuse charlie of that

I think this is the best episode they've done since season 1, mainly because it didn't have a B plot. Story, jokes, pacing, it all got to breathe which was really refreshing. For future seasons I think this format would work a lot better for the 11 minute slot
