Here is the list of the top 7 Smiling Friends characters that make the Adult Swim series worth watching:
7. Smormu James Carter
Smormu James Carter is a minor but memorable character in this animated show. He first appears in the episode Mr. Frog and later plays a part in Shrimp's Odyssey. Smormu was introduced as part of a fan vote during Shrimp's Odyssey, in which viewers could choose whether he should become the new fifth member of the Smiling Friends team.
The series is worth watching for the viewers because the character is utilized as comic relief. Despite his brief appearance, many fans remember him for his unusual demeanor and unpredictable actions. Smormu's fate in the series includes a running gag that he was later 'beaten to death,' which is shown in the credits as a joke. Smormu James Carter stands out for his silly dialogue and weird behavior, adding extra comedy to the surreal style of the animated series.
6. Gwimbly
Gwimbly is a supporting character, and first appeared in the episode Gwimbly: Definitive Remastered Enhanced Extended Edition DX 4k (Anniversary Director's Cut) of Smiling Friends on Adult Swim. He is known for his peculiar look and manner, and the erratic setting of the show would suit him well. In his introductory episode, Gwimbly was portrayed as a loser found on the street by the main cast, who decide to help him. Allan sprayed him with a hose, adding to the odd humor surrounding the character.
Gwimbly's appearance mostly served to highlight the Smiling Friends team's mission to make everyone happy, no matter how strange or repulsive they may appear. This strategy fits in with the goofy and occasionally ridiculous tone of the show, which makes Gwimbly a great illustration of the fun and creative risks Adult Swim brings to Smiling Friends.
5. Glep
Glep is one of the core members of Smiling Friends. He is known for his weird appearance and acting, which often show him as the wild card in every adventure. Glep's speech consists of bizarre noises, with one-word sentences, making his speech very unique compared to everyone else. At other times, he even embarks on side missions that are completely unrelated to the plot, which adds to the scene's turmoil and comedic quality. Another characteristic that sets Glep apart from the other key characters is his unique eccentricity.
Glep's popularity has grown to the point where official stuff, such as Adult Swim plush toys, is visible, indicating how much people enjoy this character. His presence in Smiling Friends certainly works towards the comic in that show in uncharacteristic ways.
4. Allan
Allan, a Smiling Friends character on Adult Swim, is just a supporting character, but well-known due to his blunt and monotone manner of speech. He has been hired to work with the other main characters in the Smiling Friends company. He occasionally receives strange or easy assignments, such as locating additional office paper clips. Allan's reactions are usually deadpan and sometimes physical or violent, as when he sprays Gwimbly with a hose. Positive characters like Pim and Charlie stand in contrast to his disposition and can be counterbalanced by Allan.
Sometimes Allan will go on adventures that become main storylines in episodes, and viewers get to see more of his weird habits and emotions. Smiling Friends is one of the most enjoyable shows on Adult Swim. Allan's strange behavior and unique presence make him stand out, even though he is not always the main character.
3. Mr. Boss
Mr. Boss is the owner and the founder of the firm where all primary characters work in Smiling Friends on Adult Swim. He is an old man who does not look normal and behaves rather daringly, yet he is very concerned with people being happy. In the series, Mr. Boss recruits employees and works hard to keep the business running smoothly, despite the unusual circumstances. At times, he becomes childlike and can become overly exuberant. The character stands out even more because he is not the only human in a cast of strange monsters.
Most of the time, he acts silly and makes people laugh. But during serious moments, he shows that he truly cares about his coworkers. Episodes of Smiling Friends show us Mr. Boss going against other companies and coming close to perilous situations. At other times, he may be a little rough or even a little scary, although his intention is always to make all human beings smile and have a good day. Mr. Boss gives the series humor and heart by showing that even a weird boss can love his team.
2. Charlie
Charlie is a primary employee in the Smiling Friends TV series. He is a tall, yellow animal, and he takes his job rather seriously. Charlie is regularly involved in weird/disorganized scenarios while assisting customers and responds to them with dry humor and common sense. This also comes easily to the viewers as he realistically views the world. He does not appear to be energetic or enthused, although in his heart, he hopes for everything to work out.
Charlie is a friend of Pim, and the two of them resolve the company issues. In the majority of the episodes, Charlie attempts to do his job without getting involved in the unusual mischief that occurs at Smiling Friends. He is at times frustrated by the nonsense surrounding him, but, at all rates, does his best and defends his friends. Charlie is employed to balance the show's wild nature by creating a calm, amusing tone.
1. Pim
One of Smiling Friends' primary characters and a favorite among Adult Swim viewers is Pim. He is a pink, ugly, intelligent, and always active man. The ultimate mission of Pim is to ensure people smile and are in a good mood at the workplace. In every episode, he exudes enthusiasm and is always eager to help, no matter how strange or impossible the problem may seem. Despite the perception that things are out of control, Pim maintains a cheerful disposition and makes an effort to ensure a joyful conclusion.
After a few instances of acting without thinking and getting himself into trouble, he refuses to give up. I appreciate people like Pim because of their positive outlook and kindness, which might be really beneficial. The humor in Smiling Friends is mostly derived from Pim's foolish notions & sincere heart. An essential element of the show is his bond with Charlie. They illustrate how everyone can try to add some fun to an unusual setting.
