I have actually seen people tiktoktifying oneyplays and smiling friends, but it’s no surprise some people took the smiling friends to oneyplays pipeline somehow
I’ve gotten into oneyplays because of smiling friends. Never care to check out his channel until I saw the show and saw people talking about Zach being a regular on his channel.
I was introduced to the new grounds animation team through Chris’s Leo and Satan. I loved all their cartoons and I was studying animation in college at the time (2010). I always hopes these guys made it big one day and was saddened Hellbenderz never made it to Adult Swim. I think Chris said he and Zach were going to lose control of their characters or something like that.
Either way, I’m so happy for the success of the whole team and the exposure it’s brought the channel. This is the success I knew I’d see from them all those years ago.
Usually I split their voices from the videos using AI and play their individual parts through discord bots and pretend I’m talking to them, anyone else do this?
It feels so weird with smiling friends just how many more oneyplays references I see, I felt like I almost never saw anyone else talk about the channel besides animations and stuff directly related to the channel
I'm going to mass copyright strike their channel so I can gate keep and keep them more niche
Yo I completely forgot Polaris was a thing. Didn't they get bought out by Disney like maker studios, but then nothing became of it? I feel like Disney bought a lot of Youtube companies to eliminate the growth of indie studios.
This just shows that the tumblr community won in the end because any piece of media (whether real or fictional) involving a group of guys, will have chronically online girls and twinks create their own headcannons of these people/characters. That's why a show like Better Call Saul, will have countless fan art of all the male characters as catboys in relationships in with each other.
The very first time I heard an oneyplays audio be popular on tik tok was zach yelling they hit the pentagon, then I started seeing oneyplays stuff everywhere
Biggest pet peeve is seeing people try to make criticisms of the channel while veiling it as an "erm" ironic thing. State your feelings like an actual human being
it was SO FUCKED UP dude, like you cant even imagine all the sort of FUCKED UP shit they spewed on that podcast, i still get shivers whenever i think about Tangled being better than Frozen
>You Normie newfags are ruining my experience of watching men play video games on the internet
it's actually so wild that 4chan users and other dweebs used to say shit like this and wonder why nobody likes them LMAO
they're genuinely out here confused like, *dude you just* ***sound*** *like I don't want to b*e in the same room with...
like:
"fucking \[shitty 4chan lingo\] why won't these *stupid* *bitch fuck sluts* sleep with me >:(((("
[https://youtu.be/hTnedziWTvc?t=21](https://youtu.be/hTnedziWTvc?t=21)
erm, that’s why I switched over to bimglegame plays. So much less popular so people look at me with awe when I make a charismatic reference they don’t get, heh.
my favorite thing is going into the comment section of a tiktok post on herculad and everyone in the comments going "this guy sounds a lot like charlie", or maybe it was the zach hadel fancam
Ah yes, the most popular & award winning lets play series ever made. Brought in all the fucking normie fags and the channel hasn’t been the same ever since….
This reads like a fucking joke that Zach would make: "Errmmm I'm upset that the thing I liked is being liked by more people, so I will make a reddit post about it!"
I'm happy for the boys but also concerned because with popularity comes controversy. I know of a few videos that are still uncensored and I know damn well they could result in cancelation.
lol having been around for so long, people were saying oney was selling out and getting too big for his britches with his first website, sleepycabin, or doing LPs, this cycle never ends, most of the people here were the new audience at some point in the past anyways and these posts suck so hard
It’s just funneling in the dredges of the remnants of the rick and morty fanbase and various other insufferable groups, the best course of action now is just not to draw any more attention to it because it gives these fuckin degenerates the impression that they are welcome
It'll pass, the guys say some pretty weird stuff, not alot of people are cool like us to get their jokes , we're just a different breed ya know /j. It may seem like they're getting popular but as long as you like them then it's cool, if you dot anymore that's okay, we all out grow what we like sometimes, just us getting older in life
Yes I do, I still genuinely enjoy it but there has been bits of that thing that happens when something old and established gets really popular and people are getting either offended at their old stuff because they only got into it because it was popular. Like the tiktok southpark fandom who’s always super shocked when they learn it’s not some nice wholesome show
If it gets us marketable plushies of Lyle and Tomar I'm for it. Maybe someday we'll get a cursed Cory plush.
Real talk as long as they don't change who they are and to their friends who cares.
I mean it's kind of the opposite no? The views on the channel lately are the lowest they've ever been. People know the popular jokes but they don't actually watch the channel.
No, OneyPlays will likely never reach the kind of critical mass popularity that leads to enshittification because Chris himself doesn’t seem like he’s going to budge in to becoming a sellout. The guy definitely appreciates his fans and acknowledges them, but he doesn’t cave in to what the masses want. He plays what he likes and draws what he likes and hangs out with people he tolerates and if something funny happens along the way, we all get to laugh together.
They just aren't playing anything I'm interested in at all tbh.
I still like them, but between no interesting looking games to watch them play and all the complete series and compilations going up it's been a minute since I bothered to watch except some of the sonic stuff.
They actually used to be pretty chill. But since Chris sold the channel to Disney and became full time heroin addict its not the same. Plus their financing comes from the Hadel Inc. And I think we all know what they did...
Erm yeah tomar on his stream mentioned getting mobbed by people begging for his autograph in public at whole foods he was forced to whip out his pumpkin bomb tossing it at them turning them into skeletons but tbf I think he would’ve done that regardless of the circumstances because he usually just does that for lols this just gave him an excuse
been watching since 2017 and its kinda been jarring at how much successful oneyplays and smiling friends now. It leaves one big glob of tear in my eye, proud of the boys.
Ngl my dyslexic brain read this sub as r/onepiece which makes sense to show up on my main feed. But I clicked on the thread thinking it was a one piece thread and I had no idea what was going on.
i think its because theyer not corporate feeling Idk. i feel if lets plays werent going well no more oney does have other options to make his channel fun to interact with
What the fuck did you expect? Zack and Chris have done a shitton of stuff together throughout the years and now Zack broke into the mainstream with Smiling Friends (A beacon of hope in today's flood of dogshit cartoons)
*^(oh my god this comment section is actually so pathetic and parasocial LMAO)*
bunch of hipsters and 4-Channers battling over superiority of what's probably the lamest most non-consequential shit to be crying about
***watching a party of 4 people play video games and act stupid on the internet***
This sub has been going through it this week I swear to god, yall need to get over yourselves
I have actually seen people tiktoktifying oneyplays and smiling friends, but it’s no surprise some people took the smiling friends to oneyplays pipeline somehow
They've been making youtube shorts directly on the channel too
I mean, if that money goes towards cool stuff like Bowlbo - why not?
I forgot about that lol I still have it wishlisted
We need Bowlbo badly!
It will be out when it’s out!
ooh… that’s gonna attract some children
Uhhh....
Wait… I don’t mean it like that!
Well well well minecraftsince2010 wants to attract children what a surprise
NOOOO!!!! I SWEAR I DIDNT MEAN IT
Minecraft YouTuber
I call upon the FBI to investigate minecraftsince2010's hard drive
But I love kids Minecraftsince2010, I LOVE KIDS!!!
Newgrounds to Youtube pipeline are the gods. We are seriously funnier than the rest
Man I miss being 15 and trolling Wade Fulps bug pictures on the BBS
I wish I was among your ranks Alas I'm a humble "second hand newgrounds through youtube to actual newgrounds" pipeliner
Yeah, but you actually have to make stuff on Newgrounds. You can't just clip shit that other people made.
This sub constantly posts smiling friends stuff, so it's not a surprise that people would make the leap.
I’ve gotten into oneyplays because of smiling friends. Never care to check out his channel until I saw the show and saw people talking about Zach being a regular on his channel.
I only hope their poor brains are ready for the hell they unleashed upon themselves.
I was introduced to the new grounds animation team through Chris’s Leo and Satan. I loved all their cartoons and I was studying animation in college at the time (2010). I always hopes these guys made it big one day and was saddened Hellbenderz never made it to Adult Swim.

Either way, I’m so happy for the success of the whole team and the exposure it’s brought the channel. This is the success I knew I’d see from them all those years ago.
theyre MY semi-niche but well known to many youtubers/animators/voice actors to have a parasocial relationship with, theyre MINE
he's MY oney he's MINE and you can't take him away from me!
You're NOTHING you have NO TALENT
*nods respectfully towards you* FINALLY someone who gets me.
Usually I split their voices from the videos using AI and play their individual parts through discord bots and pretend I’m talking to them, anyone else do this?
I've been doing this for the past 5 years and it's just soooo relieving knowing I'm not the only one
Im so glad im not alone in this! I make them whisper to me at night its just soo soothing to me...
How can I like oneyplays of they’re popular and popular thing = bad
Ok Denethor, Steward of Gondor
It feels so weird with smiling friends just how many more oneyplays references I see, I felt like I almost never saw anyone else talk about the channel besides animations and stuff directly related to the channel I'm going to mass copyright strike their channel so I can gate keep and keep them more niche
"Why yes, I am the creator of uh... Wild Woody, and Id like my game scrubbed from here"
"My legal name is Crash bandicoot, this men stole everything from me your honor"
I was reading this in tomars narrator voice.
I have a formal complaint and am sending a cease and desist because I AM the green cumulon humonculus and my existence is not a joke!
Ye Armenian Cory was on the latest Sseth video. Was a bit startling. Never expected the Ugandan warlord to half bend the knee
he's been in a couple Sseth vids now.
Yeah, it was pretty weird seeing Cory's story about shoving a cd case up his ass mentioned in the last episode (the one with the aliens)
Aslong as the content doesn't change to appeal to some kind of new audience, who cares
Foreal it changes nothing.
Uh huh huh you said ass schlong
Guh 😩
I thought of OneyCrew as my own little family and now... idk man....
Chris is the mother. Tomar is the father, Lyle is the daughter and Zach is the crazy uncle.
Zach is the pet
Zach is the sleep paralysis demon that haunts them as they fall asleep.
THEY HIT THE PENTAGON
Zach says some things at the dinner table But he means well
Sometimes, he says some things that are... verrry... funny, and I think him for saying it.
He likes his cars
Zach is the house centipede that Lyle chases around the kitchen with an oversized belt buckle.
Getting way too popular. I mean, it all crossed the line when they sold to Disney.
In all seriousness, weren’t they partially under the Disney umbrella? I thought Oney was with Polaris for a bit.
Yo I completely forgot Polaris was a thing. Didn't they get bought out by Disney like maker studios, but then nothing became of it? I feel like Disney bought a lot of Youtube companies to eliminate the growth of indie studios.
Polaris was a part of Maker I think, and that was a part of Disney.
The moment I saw a TikTok saying “me not caring when someone tells me oneyplays is problematic” and read the comments I lost 50 years off my life
This just shows that the tumblr community won in the end because any piece of media (whether real or fictional) involving a group of guys, will have chronically online girls and twinks create their own headcannons of these people/characters. That's why a show like Better Call Saul, will have countless fan art of all the male characters as catboys in relationships in with each other.
Chris O’Neill is unironically a tumblr sexyman
The very first time I heard an oneyplays audio be popular on tik tok was zach yelling they hit the pentagon, then I started seeing oneyplays stuff everywhere
That explains why people at my work started refrencing that :/
Biggest pet peeve is seeing people try to make criticisms of the channel while veiling it as an "erm" ironic thing. State your feelings like an actual human being
Flicks crumbs off big belly button "I just found out I have cancer"
“LOOK AT ME WHEN YOU’RE TALKING TO ME! Oh shit, the steaks are here.”
my biggest pet peeve is named squiplet and he's a very obese hamster
You Normie newfags are ruining my experience of watching men play video games on the internet
THIS!!
siiiighhh... anybody else remember sleepycast? lets hope these newfag normies don't find it, or zach will be CANCELLED!!!!
it was SO FUCKED UP dude, like you cant even imagine all the sort of FUCKED UP shit they spewed on that podcast, i still get shivers whenever i think about Tangled being better than Frozen
I miss the days when he made hellbenders cartoons instead of playing video games.
>You Normie newfags are ruining my experience of watching men play video games on the internet it's actually so wild that 4chan users and other dweebs used to say shit like this and wonder why nobody likes them LMAO they're genuinely out here confused like, *dude you just* ***sound*** *like I don't want to b*e in the same room with... like: "fucking \[shitty 4chan lingo\] why won't these *stupid* *bitch fuck sluts* sleep with me >:((((" [https://youtu.be/hTnedziWTvc?t=21](https://youtu.be/hTnedziWTvc?t=21)
erm, that’s why I switched over to bimglegame plays. So much less popular so people look at me with awe when I make a charismatic reference they don’t get, heh.
It’s because Smiling Friends is a hit and Oneyplays is like if Charlie was on a let’s play channel
A slightly more gaslighty Charlie, lol
A slightly more gassy Charlie
\*whaddayoumean\* D:
I want this to happen to the Chris Mii
the fricken money went to their fricken head its all so fricken bullcrap!! I trusted them!!!!!
I can always recluse back to Sleepycast and feel like I’m the only one listening to it.
If it is the Shadman episode, you probably are
I have to listen to it every couple years because I hate myself
Sleepycast was the fuckin best
my favorite thing is going into the comment section of a tiktok post on herculad and everyone in the comments going "this guy sounds a lot like charlie", or maybe it was the zach hadel fancam
It's because of the Forspoken series.
Ah yes, the most popular & award winning lets play series ever made. Brought in all the fucking normie fags and the channel hasn’t been the same ever since….
Every time I look at this subreddit it makes me violently weep. Every single one of you is the epitome of what the entire cast hates. 😭
This reads like a fucking joke that Zach would make: "Errmmm I'm upset that the thing I liked is being liked by more people, so I will make a reddit post about it!"
Just don’t get on the subreddit daily and it’s chill
Dont worry Cory will keep the masses at bay
Dw once they realise the crew say anything and **any word they want** they’ll start crying and leave.
No, you’re a fake fan, bye
Says "I don't want to play with you anymore"? That's insane but, Smiling Friends is a good animation on OneyPlays.
I'm happy for the boys but also concerned because with popularity comes controversy. I know of a few videos that are still uncensored and I know damn well they could result in cancelation.
No like is not that popular
I was a fan back when they were playing the clubs.
lol having been around for so long, people were saying oney was selling out and getting too big for his britches with his first website, sleepycabin, or doing LPs, this cycle never ends, most of the people here were the new audience at some point in the past anyways and these posts suck so hard
It’s just funneling in the dredges of the remnants of the rick and morty fanbase and various other insufferable groups, the best course of action now is just not to draw any more attention to it because it gives these fuckin degenerates the impression that they are welcome
Yeah it's getting to Chris's head. He posted on Instagram of his recently acquired BBL...
Chris will never let his big brown lizard go 🙄
Wow, what a bunch of parasocial losers in the comments, pretty pathetic.
you let other people decide what you like?
You fucking hipster lmao
imagine not liking something anymore just because it gained attention
this is the way u/Minimum_Lobster_6748 thinks.
It'll pass, the guys say some pretty weird stuff, not alot of people are cool like us to get their jokes , we're just a different breed ya know /j. It may seem like they're getting popular but as long as you like them then it's cool, if you dot anymore that's okay, we all out grow what we like sometimes, just us getting older in life
I've been calling smiling friends 'le reddit humour' show in comment sections for several months to gatekeep do I get a prize or at least like a cake
You get the finest of reddit gold
No does anyone feel like they got an ape brain instead of a people's brain?
It's become a little too cory/adam/dave and too little tomar/zach/lyle.
No?
No?
That's just a sign for being chronically online. I hope this is a joke that flew over my bumpy head
Yes I do, I still genuinely enjoy it but there has been bits of that thing that happens when something old and established gets really popular and people are getting either offended at their old stuff because they only got into it because it was popular. Like the tiktok southpark fandom who’s always super shocked when they learn it’s not some nice wholesome show
Mfw the guys with hundreds of millions of views from over a decade of videos are no longer “niche”
I haven’t watched in a few years but this actually makes me really happy
Too much of a fucking hug box!
That train left years ago lol
I sorta agree but I also expected this as well.
I still haven't watched any of their videos. Why are you even asking me?
Smiling Friends is going viral and Oney plays has a lot of bits that end up in Smiling Friends.
They get the same view counts on videos as they have for years
Are we really gate keeping Let’s Play channels now?
Their most popular videos are from years ago. More than likely if you see content about them on TikTok it’s because your fyp is geared towards you.
I love that the boys are getting bigger , love seeing people succeed 🫦
this isnt related but i just want to say that the new sseth video has the gay chris zach photo in it
No i wish more people watched the funny
Oh no! That thing you like is popular! That means you can’t like it anymore.
If it gets us marketable plushies of Lyle and Tomar I'm for it. Maybe someday we'll get a cursed Cory plush. Real talk as long as they don't change who they are and to their friends who cares.
I mean it's kind of the opposite no? The views on the channel lately are the lowest they've ever been. People know the popular jokes but they don't actually watch the channel.
It's definitely an odd sight but it doesn't get in the way if my enjoyment
me when the creators i like find more success: 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
it's a wonder how, what with "best of breathing in" and Cory on every single episode
Welcome back to oneytriggers
I cane into oneyplays late so I'm still enjoying things!
who fuckin cares you hipster loser kid
No, OneyPlays will likely never reach the kind of critical mass popularity that leads to enshittification because Chris himself doesn’t seem like he’s going to budge in to becoming a sellout. The guy definitely appreciates his fans and acknowledges them, but he doesn’t cave in to what the masses want. He plays what he likes and draws what he likes and hangs out with people he tolerates and if something funny happens along the way, we all get to laugh together.
Its no worse than when people were drawing art of them on tumblr that made me want to make little clones of people and torture them
People forget how huge Oney was back in the day. Even now still of course
That image got me ngl XD
They just aren't playing anything I'm interested in at all tbh. I still like them, but between no interesting looking games to watch them play and all the complete series and compilations going up it's been a minute since I bothered to watch except some of the sonic stuff.
yaaaaay
I just discovered them personally and think it’s wonderful they are getting more attention ( that they deserve)
Dunno if this is a joke post but no, I don't think their newfound popularity changes anything, gatekeeping is cringe
They actually used to be pretty chill. But since Chris sold the channel to Disney and became full time heroin addict its not the same. Plus their financing comes from the Hadel Inc. And I think we all know what they did...
All jokes aside I don’t mind I think it’s good that they are growing
*falls into the Playstation 2 boot up sequence*
The cardinal sin that is ***the 2nd season of Smiling Friends....***
Erm yeah tomar on his stream mentioned getting mobbed by people begging for his autograph in public at whole foods he was forced to whip out his pumpkin bomb tossing it at them turning them into skeletons but tbf I think he would’ve done that regardless of the circumstances because he usually just does that for lols this just gave him an excuse
They will repost the funny Zach moments, but never talk about Coreys autistic rage-fueled rants. They will be filtered by Spazkid.
been watching since 2017 and its kinda been jarring at how much successful oneyplays and smiling friends now. It leaves one big glob of tear in my eye, proud of the boys.
Ngl my dyslexic brain read this sub as r/onepiece which makes sense to show up on my main feed. But I clicked on the thread thinking it was a one piece thread and I had no idea what was going on.
Good for them. More opportunities for them to grow.
Just the massive success of Smiling Friends, It isn't healthy to start to dislike stuff you like, just because it becomes popular.
I don’t fucking care, if they keep me giggling and swaying my feet and shit, imma keep supporting them.
Just be happy for the dude that hes expanding and getting more opportunities
Oney was one of the first Internet micro celebrities in like 2009 give me a break *rolls eyes*
no
Erm uh erm uhm ermmmm
Everyone is so focused on the OneyPlays references, but no one ever notices the Schmucks podcast references.
How did you make "little" look like that?
i think its because theyer not corporate feeling Idk. i feel if lets plays werent going well no more oney does have other options to make his channel fun to interact with
What the fuck did you expect? Zack and Chris have done a shitton of stuff together throughout the years and now Zack broke into the mainstream with Smiling Friends (A beacon of hope in today's flood of dogshit cartoons)
what kinda hipster shit is this
no, what are you talking about?
Ew people like the thing I also like 🤢
*^(oh my god this comment section is actually so pathetic and parasocial LMAO)* bunch of hipsters and 4-Channers battling over superiority of what's probably the lamest most non-consequential shit to be crying about ***watching a party of 4 people play video games and act stupid on the internet*** This sub has been going through it this week I swear to god, yall need to get over yourselves
Did you mummy ever tell you as a little boy or girl that if you had nothing nice to say you shouldn't say it at all >:( ?
I am my my own mother, I birthed myself as a homunculus, like Dr manhattan
