Doug, you wanna hang out, smoke weed, fill our bellies with diet soda, and play burnout revenge for the ps2?

I still can’t believe Doug Walker is officially a Warner Bros character.

The culmination of 7 years of references to each other

I can hear the little Zach in my head saying "Critic is the only internet review guy who actually gets us"

My Daniel the Demon Slayer promo code for the Dollar Shave Club ended up opening a portal to the underworld.

I'm glad to know that Doug also appreciates the way Mr. Landlord says "PS2".

The Spamlish one is so weirdly stressful. It’s just sheer sensory overload.

Doug and Daniel together?! The crossover of the century! 🎉

[DanGamingFan]

Congratulations on getting to work with Zach and playing Daniel the Demon Slayer. You did a fantastic job. Also, sorry you got Covid. I hope you get some rest and feel better soon.

the best way to express the tonal shift is the halloween episode from the first season, where its largely playing the horror theme as you would expect from a horror including a very tense chase scene with the forest demon, only for everything to set up for one joke which results in everyone at the halloween party acting even more monstrous in an absurd way that it makes it funnier

[jayisgreg]

The episode that really stands out to me as an example of them breaking from the mold is definitely the episode Brother's Egg. Because just like the Brazil episode they advertise the episode and word the episode synopsis like it's just gonna be another wacky smiling friends episode where they help a mad scientist and hijinks ensue. But then surprise it's another episode with insanely realistic dialogue about the fallout between two brothers and how they try to repair their relationship.

You have no idea the amount of whiplash I suffered from after seeing you in this show, Doug!

[deshawnedwards]

We need to see Daniel the Demon Slayer make a appearance in a future Nostalgia Critic episode.

I think you really hit the nail on the head with the tone thing. SF is the type of show to have a Looney Toons slap stick bit followed by someone grabbing their chest and saying they have hypertension

With how Doug's opinion evolves in this vlog, an hour after filming Doug grew to realize it's a masterpiece

[DigiRangerScott]

The thing about Smiling Friends Go to Brazil is longtime Cartoon Network viewers knew exactly where the plot was going, because Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends did an episode called “Foster’s Goes to Europe”. The spirit is there. Smiling Friends’s dead end happens at a later stage than Foster’s, so it allows it to stand separately and do things different.

[Macapta]

I find the humour comes from the delivery of the lines over the actual joke.

[FoxNoctom]

It may be because I've been following not only Zach, but Marc M, Michael, Oney, Harry partidge, El cid, and a bunch of the Guest Animators/Artists from back in the Newgrounds days that I have this personal connection to the show that every episode feels like triumph to me, this show is the result of the strange community that Newgrounds was. So proud of Zach and Mike!

I think another funny thing to come from the show are the titles of the episodes and descriptions that accompany them. Especially in the final episode, and how it's called "Pim Finally Turns Green" and the description rambles on about Pim eating an ancient artifact when that's all just a complete lie.
