It had been a little over a year since "The Smiling Friends Go to Brazil!" hit our screens when New York Comic Con (NYCC) 2023 brought fans an update on how things were looking with the second season of Michael Cusack (YOLO: Crystal Fantasy) & Zach Hadel's (Hellbenders) Smiling Friends. Along with a confirmation that 2024 will bring Season 2, viewers can expect a wide range of visuals coming their way – from 2D & 3D to stop-motion & live-action. In addition, they can look forward to the return of none other than Ulysses Walter Frog – otherwise known as "Mr. Frog" from The Mr. Frog Show. But that was two months ago – what does that have to do with the holidays? Adult Swim has a marathon of the first season planned for New Year's Eve – which would be a great opportunity for… something? Personally, we would be thrilled with a teaser and a release month (if not the exact date) – maybe the late-night programming block will pair it with Rick and Morty: The Anime? Of course, this is Adult Swim that we're talking about – the home of horror movies for the holidays and Pibby for April Fool's Day. Maybe an episode gets dropped as a surprise preview?

And now – as promised – is the funniest moment (a two-parter) of the first season – S01E08: "Charlie Dies and Doesn't Come Back." And just to be clear, Charlie gave Jeremy more than enough warning. What happened was all on him – we've got Charlie's back. Following that, we have a look back at the series overview and official trailer:

"Smiling Friends" follows the employees of a small company dedicated to bringing happiness to a bizarre yet colorful world. The company consists of cynical Charlie and star employee Pim, each tasked with out-calls to cheer people up. There's also meticulous Allan who keeps things in order, mysterious Glep, and the unpredictable billionaire Boss who founded the company.
