We love low poly big nosed banana creatures in this house yes we do! Fingers crossed a Gwimbly game actually gets made in the future.

Fun fact: They had the youtuber Hoolopee create and animate gwimbly for the episode since his animation style is known for mimicking that Era of games.

"It's my IP to sit on and do nothing with"
Best line in the episode

[LivingFire_BurningFlame]

I loved the moments when the characters have casual conversations that feels natural; my favorite is with Satan getting his meal and was disappointed when it didn't come with a straw.

"AAH, IF I HAD MY GWIMBLY GUN ON ME I SWEAR-". -Gwimbly

[DGS]

I love his iconic "Buzz Off" slogan. His best moment was saying it to that judge during his 1997 human trafficking trial.

[Jonathan_Collins]

Smiling Friends has that "controlled chaos" energy from Adult Swim's silver age, but with a touch of the Newgrounds style. Congrats to Zack and Cusack, really hope we get more episodes.

My favorite detail about Gwimbly is the very subtle audio compression they gave his voice as a kind of “vocal fry” that really sells how he’s supposed to be from a PS1 game.

[Douglasman]

I love that they did no go with the wash out celeb tropes. I expected Him to be a junkie / drunk and stuck up Ahole who keep trying to act like a celeb. But he was somewhat down to earth and felt like a decent person down on his luck. I loved this show.

Fun fact: the animation for Gwimbly was made by a youtuber called Hoolopee. His animations are awesome, really recommend him

[bad-girl-coventhe-owl-club]

It also just feels like a love letter to the animators, communities, and voices of the Internet. You can tell Zach and Michael really do care about and love what they're doing

[jayeverette]

“Ooh ooh oooh!” Is very relatable to me as a person.

[kirbysryu]

"I HATE THIS RED THING, I SPIT ON YOU >:( "
-Gwimbly

[connorscanlan]

1:37 Oh yeah, man, I love Jex. Jex was such a memorable character. Love that Jex.

[dinnersuit]

"I SWEAR TO GOD IF I HAD MY GWIMBLY GUN RIGHT NOW I'D"

[satellizard]

I think it adds to Gwimbly's likability that he isn't mean or a psycho like mr.frog, he just seems like a nice guy who was treated unfairly yet seems rather upbeat in spite of this.

edit: I would totally play a banjo kazooie/crash bandicoot type gwimbly game.

[ThatBugBehindYou]

When your show is so good the representation you make of a popular game character turns into an actual popular game character.

[rafaelcastor]

It's the optimistic "I take Venmo" for me. If this happened to me i would probably pay him the 10 dollars, he is just so precious.

[breeeegs]

It's amazing how many great lines they managed to pack into just 11 minutes. "Ooh ooh ooh!" "Guess I oogily goo!" Gwimbly's line about the fentanyl crisis, the list goes on

[dilldall]

Gwimbly hits even more different when you realize he's awfully in the same situation as Banjo Kazooie, two characters who received the chance to make a grand comeback(minus Smash Ultimate).

[AbrasiousProductions]

he's relatable honestly, he yearns for a time long passed, I think we all feel that since we live in a modernity ridden dystopia.
