- (Elmo) (laughs) That tickles.
(laughs) Now lick my nipples.
- (child) What? - (Elmo) What?
- What? Now lick my nipples?
- (child) Only you can prevent climate change.
- Aw.
- Oh, climate change, yes, yeah.
- Oh, oh!
- What are they doing? Oh, they're screwing. (laughs)
- (blue troll) ...you to do something? - (red troll) Oh, of course.
- (blue troll) Put it in me. - Oh stop it!
Mm, I don't know about that one.
- (React) You just watched a little excerpt of Robot Chicken.
- Mm-hmm.
- (React) Which is a non-nonsensical sketch show,
and the only through line is that they are equally absurd,
crude, and... - Rude, crude, and unacceptable,
but people like it.
- You know, sex. (laughs)
I mean, as a senior, you know, okay, I had my fun. (laughs)
But it's like, it's not entertaining.
(doorbell rings)
- (Pim) This is gonna be great, Charlie!
- So this is a cartoon kinda show?
- (Pim) I love kids, Charlie, I love kids!
- (Charlie) I would really not be screaming that
at the top of your lungs.
(Vera laughs)
- (woman) Oh, hello. Are you the Smiling Friends?
- There's the old crow, I would play that part.
- Oh, this...
- (Pim) Is your son home?
- (woman) Oh yes, yes he is. Come on in, come right in.
I'm so glad you boys came.
- I love the way they walk.
- (woman) He's just right in here.
- She kinda spooky.
- (woman) Dezmond! The Smiling Friends are here!
- (Pim) Hey little buddy, how are you doing?
Oh my God! - Oh my God!
- Oh whoa, whoa.
- Whoa!
There's something going on.
- What's up? - (Charlie) What's up, man?
(Holgie laughs)
What's happening big guy, what's up with the gun?
- (Dezmond) Oh, nothing.
I was probably gonna use it to shoot myself.
- Oh, a positive show, huh?
- (Charlie) Aw, you don't need to do that, man.
Why don't you just put the gun down, buddy?
- Wow, that's pretty heavy.
- (Pim) Things are gonna be okay.
- Oh, so they come and help people who are gonna die?
- Well, life's not going that great for me.
My wife left me.
- Oh, oh no no, don't talk like that, no.
- (Dezmond) ...from a broken heart last fall.
- He's had a sad life.
- (Dezmond) Probably just gonna end it all or something.
- Nah, it's not, nah.
- (Charlie) Pim, can I talk to you for a sec?
(Catherine laughs)
- Wow, a little shocking.
- Yeah, that's food for thought.
- (React) You just watched an excerpt from Smiling Friends,
one of Adult Swim's newest shows,
and it has quickly gained a cult-like following.
- Yeah, I can see that.
- (React) They are essentially a corporation that are tasked
with bringing more joy to people's lives.
And this is their first subject on episode one.
- (laughs) That would be quite a surprise.
- My heart really breaks for that man,
but then maybe we'll have to see, maybe those young people
will bring a ray of sunshine to him.
- You know, a scenario like that, you put yourself in the scenario,
and it really is serious, even though we're animating characters,
and they're a little creepy and all that.
You're thinking well, what would I do in that situation?
How could I prevent that?
- That is something that people's gonna grasp on,
because they can see themself in either side.
- (Tim) Hi, me mo mo Tim Heidecker,
and welcome to Discount Prices!
I've one 1.99, I've got 7.99, I've got 16.99!
Cheap, cheap, cheap, cheap!
- Like a used car dealer, more or less.
- (Tim) Three.
My prices are so small, you can barely see 'em.
These are some small prices!
Me have prices, discount. Ugh!
- Oops! That's different.
- (Eric) Just shattered to the ground. Buy premium prices!
Hi, I'm Eric, and welcome to Eric's...
- I don't like him.
- (Eric) All the premium prices.
I've got 19.99 for sale for 20 dollars.
(Holgie laughs)
You come to me when you want fine European prices.
They're premium! (Catherine laughs)
Buy 35.50!
- Marketing, marketing is great! Lie, cheat, steal, and deceive!
- (Tim) Our 6.99's are down to two...
(glass shatters)
- (Eric) Tim buys his prices from China!
Mine are real, American... (horse neighs)
- What? Oh, where did his head go?
- (Tim) And pay small prices. (Gary laughs)
- (Eric) Look at this discounted price!
There's no meat on it, you throw it back.
Stay in the water!
I'm not gonna serve you to my family.
- That doesn't look very... (laughs)
- (Tim) He's got stink down here!
Eric's a compulsive masturbator! (Holgie laughs)
He masturbates all over the store!
- (Eric) My competitor is a liar! Cut his head off!
(Tim babbles) - Oh, wait a minute!
- Okay, this definitely is not on a public TV.
- (Tim) No, no no, come to Tim!
- Oral fixation, they got it all here.
(video stutters) (explosion echoes)
- That's giving me a headache.
- (React) You just watched a little clip from Tim and Eric.
What are your thoughts? - Tim and Eric!
A couple of really unattractive slobs,
but they're making a good point.
Capitalism and violence, and it all goes together.
- (React) Tim and Eric is actually one of Adult Swim's
longest running shows. - Wow.
You know, it's the kinda stuff you watch once or twice,
but it's not something I'd run back to,
like oh, I can't wait to see what they're gonna do next.
- It's weird, it's crazy, it's strange,
but it's funny!
- It was fine, it was positive at the beginning,
then the next thing you know, his head's gone,
and then when he had,
you know, let's not get into the hand mo...
Where's my Bible?
- Oh yeah, the Rubik's Cube.
- Ah, very creative. Ah, I like that.
- Oh, I used to have those.
- No, yes?
- Cooking the tomatoes, yeah. Transitioning.
- Pick-up sticks, I remember those.
- Pick-up sticks, used to play with those, my gosh.
- I would like one of those, please.
Oh! (laughs)
- Okay, well it's just a series of images, things in life
that you can cut up and change and redo.
- I mean, this is fascinating.
- Oh, very creative, ah, I like that.
- Pick-up sticks, oh, they turned into those rubber bands.
Yeah, I have a package of those.
- Wow!
Now this is artistic.
- You know, it takes creative people to do any of this stuff.
- It's just mild humor, but it's cool.
- I mean, pick-up sticks,
I haven't even thought about those in years.
I used to have those.
(Rick and Morty yelling)
- Wow, lots of action.
♪ (triumphant music) ♪
- Some kind of convention or something?
- Oh, this is a little bit like Back To The Future or something here.
- (Rick) Ugh. [Censored]. (Morty cries)
(Catherine laughs) (Rick screams)
- Didn't go well? (laughs)
- Why are they crying?
- (Morty) I can't [censored] do this anymore!
- (Rick) That was seriously [censored] up.
We almost died!
- (Morty) So you agree? - (Rick) [Censored] yes!
This was insane! That was pure luck!
I was not in control of that situation at all.
Maybe I think I deserve to die, I don't know!
(Morty cries)
We need a vacation. - Yeah.
Get the [censored] out of there. (laughs)
- (React) There you go, that's Rick and Morty.
They are a grandfather-grandson duo.
The grandfather ends up wrapping Morty
into all of his adventures,
and a lot of times, they barely get out alive,
but they do it again and again, and again, in every episode.
- Well you know, I think the duo's interesting.
I like people that are clever and sharp and quick-witted.
I don't know why they always have to go to the underbelly side,
like they can't be entertaining without that.
- I think it would bring a good conversation
about a senior doing activities
or having activities with their grandchild.
- (Meatwad) Hey y'all, meet my new friend, Jubilee.
- (Jubilee) Hola, senior. Que pasa?
- (Meatwad) Que pasta.
- (laughs) Que pasta, and he's a meatball.
- Trying to teach you a little Spanish or different language.
- (Jubilee) Good Meatwad, good.
- (Meatwad) Jubilee is my new amigo.
- (Frylock) Well, nice to meet you, Jubilee.
- (Knappy) Hola, I'm Knappy, the Knapsack.
- (Mappy) Hola, I'm Mappy, the Map!
- (Gypsy) Hola, I'm Gypsy, the GPS.
(Vera laughs)
- (Mappy) I don't know why we need a GPS
when we already have a map.
- (Gypsy) Well, they added me when you got old,
and had that scare with the...
- That's right, you became a dinosaur!
- Oh my God.
- (Jubilee) Okay guys, okay.
- (Meatwad) See, I got me a lot of amigos now, Frylock-o.
- (Frylock) Yeah, I see that. (Gary laughs)
- (Meatwad) And el blanco assholo. (Gary laughs)
Yeah, I said it.
- (Shake) Hey, your friend, Jubilee, is she, does she put out or what?
- (Frylock) No, no! - (Shake) It's just a question!
- (Frylock) Shake, no.
- (Shake) There's not one bad word in that question!
- Yeah, it's a little bit shocking, but it's funny, you know,
some of its kinda humorous.
- (React) This is Aqua Teen Hunger Force,
a very wildly silly animated show.
- I know it's been on a long time,
and it's very popular, but just not my thing.
- Someone's created this. - (React) Mm-hmm.
- And certainly that's difficult, I'm not saying it's easy,
but you have to be attracted to stuff like this.
I'm just not.
- Cartoons lull you, and you don't expect that,
so when they do stuff like that, and the meatball going,
saying pasta, you know. - (React) Que pasta.
- Que pasta, and that, little things like that.
But you just don't expect cartoon characters to say these things.
- (Eric) What?
- What, wait a minute!
- Okay, he's eating lettuce.
- (Hannibal) You gotta eat the lettuces,
right, just straight up eat the lettuce.
- Okay.
(chainsaw revs)
- What is he doing?
- She's got the look on her face like what the hell am I doing here?
- (Eric) Have you ever heard a guitar before?
- (Lauren) Yeah, sure.
- (Eric) They're like woo woo, wee! Woo woo, wee wee!
- Why is he tearing up that desk?
She doesn't know what to think.
- Kinda like Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
- (Eric) You got any nudes of your husband with you?
- (Lauren) Like on me?
- (Eric) Yeah. - (Lauren) No.
- (Hannibal) Yeah, let's give a quick shout out to Christina Applegate.
(crowd cheers)
- So they have a picture of someone besides her.
- (React) You got it.
- I mean, she's thrashed.
- I mean, she's the typical, innocent, naive.
- (React) Yep.
- And she had no idea what she got into.
- (React) So this is the Eric Andre show.
At the start of its journey,
they would have these big celebrities come on,
they would think that they're there for a real interview.
(Vera laughs) And they would get that.
- Talk about element of surprise.
- The bigger the name, the more humiliation, the better!
- The initial shock was there, but after that, you know,
it's hard to do this kind of comedy,
that is fresh in every episode.
- I think I'd be surprised if I was interviewed there.
(both laugh)
It's a good spoof.
- Thanks for watching this episode.
- Like and subscribe,
or you're getting sent back to the kiddie pool.
- Are there any shows we missed?
Let us know in the comments.
- Bye!
- Bye bye!
- I'm certainly not the target audience for Adult Swim,
even though I am an adult swimmer.
- (React) That's right!
- But it must have nothing to do
with my freestyle or backstroke.
