Okay, before we get to a preview for Michael Cusack and Zach Hadel's Smiling Friends S02E06: "Charlie, Pim, and Bill vs. the Alien," we just need to say something about "Brother's Egg." If there was ever an episode that you can show to someone who's never seen the Adult Swim series before to demonstrate that special Smiling Friends vibe, it was that one – a high compliment considering the killer run the show's had for nearly two seasons. It goes in directions that you never see coming, crafting this increasingly fascinating universe that is a twisted joy to be a part of as a viewer and fan. With that in mind, here's a look at the promo and a sneak preview for this weekend's episode – as Charlie gets a chance to have a little quality time with Pim's friends in a UFO Hunting Group.

Smiling Friends Season 2 Episode 6 "Charlie, Pim, and Bill vs. the Alien": This episode tells the story of a thirty-four-year-old boy named Pim who sets out to save his mother on Mars after she is abducted by Martians. Now, here's a look at the official promo released by Adult Swim UK and the extended preview from Adult Swim:

Here's a look back at the puppet versions of the episodes – individually and as a compilation – followed by a look back at our live April Fool's Day coverage of Adult Swim's special broadcast:

Here's a look at the first "remixed" episode of Adult Swim's Smiling Friends:

And yes, the show's creators are checking out what's going on and checking in on social media:

And now, we have a multimedia take on S01E03: "Shrimp's Odyssey" (directed by Georgia Kriss and written by Jakub Zieba):

Meanwhile, let's check in with Cusack and Hadel…

Next up, we have a new take on what might be our favorite episode in a lineup of great episodes, S01E08: "Charlie Dies and Doesn't Come Back" (directed by Bob Dorian (uncredited) and written by David Hootselle) – with the following clip including the great moment when Charlie chops that demon in the throat (Charlie did warn him):

Meanwhile, the show's creators continue to make their social media presence known…

What's that you said? You thought you weren't going to get some really new adventures? Well, that's where you would be wrong – with Pim & Alan teaming up to help a video game character who Pim has been fanboying over for years. Meanwhile, Charlie finds himself handcuffed by the Smiling Friends policy of doing anything to make the client smile – and it gets bad. We won't spoil it other than to say that Charlie loses his nose, and Mr. Boss goes a little mad…
