Bubbleblabber’s Best Adult Animated Specials For 2022
3) Smiling Friends Go To Brazil
Smiling Friends is still so fresh in its life that any new content is going to come as a treat. The first season felt full enough that a “bonus” episode is hardly necessary, but “The Smiling Friends Go To Brazil!” is as strong as any other installment from the show’s first season. This isn’t some pivotal story that will bridge the gap between the series’ two first seasons and those that miss this entry won’t be lost when new episodes properly come around. “The Smiling Friends Go To Brazil!” is more of this burgeoning surreal comedy series at its best and most bizarre. This isn’t a disposable episode that was churned out at the last minute, nor is it some super-sized celebration that’s worthy of the moniker of “special.” That being said, it’s proof that Smiling Friends has plenty of fuel left in its tank and that sillier–and possibly more international–hijinks are to come. There are a lot of frowns in the Southern hemisphere.
There's got to be some kind of twist that's going to happen with this. I don't know if they're setting up an April Fool's joke now or what's going on, but it seems too strange that they'd suddenly reverse on doing a fourth and fifth season after the show was already renewed and they were even just talking about working on those seasons like a couple months ago or something. Or maybe the two episodes yet to release will secretly somehow each be like a "season" in themselves?
