A kaleidoscope of grotesque whimsy where surreal multimedia hallucinations meet mundane office banter. Optimistic pink and cynical yellow navigators attempt to mend broken spirits within a chaotic, neon-lit landscape of hard-won smiles.

Smiling Friends - Easter Eggs & Hidden Details
Easter Eggs
Marge Simpson Cameo
Glep's wife, seen in several holiday episodes, is canonically Marge Simpson. The creators confirmed this as a meta-joke about the nature of character crossovers and copyright in the critter world.
The OneyPlays 'Egg' Lore
The episode 'Brother's Egg' is filled with references to a recurring 'hypothetical egg' joke from co-creator Zach Hadel's gaming channel, OneyPlays.
Nostalgia Critic Cameo
Doug Walker (The Nostalgia Critic) appears in live-action as a 'Demon Slayer' in Season 1, a nod to the creators' history within the early 2010s YouTube review community.
