They really picked the best still of Mike to use.

'Smiling Friends' on Adult Swim Is Somehow Already a Hit Among Fans

By Chrissy Bobic Adult Swim premiered an animated special called on April 1, 2020 and what followed was an onslaught of viewers who desperately needed more. The Cartoon Network block of late night shows has been known to draw in lovers of the weird and kitschy, and with the funky animation and warped sense of humor throughout Smiling Friends, it was right on the money for a particular brand of weird.

To be fair, he’s 100% unmistakable.

"Should his eyes be open in the shot we use?" "It's Mike Stoklasa, it doesn't matter."

Yeti Shepherd

Lmao all the pictures of Mike and they go with one where it looks like he was stung by a swarm of bees.

Michal Richter

Seriously now - are you gonna post the last Picard review?

Dan Schoening

Looks like Rich forgot his Diabetes medication again.

Eben Sullivan

Zach Hadel, Michael Cusack, Marc M and Tom Fulp? Sick.

Ronnie Filyaw

I've been a fan of both you guys and the Sleepycast crew (which includes Zach) for a long time. It was really awesome seeing the two together! I know people say this a lot, and Zach is notoriously camera-phobic, but this would indeed be my BOTW dream team.

Sam

hundreds of videos to take a screenshot from and that's the one they go with.

Rich on the left, Jack on the right?

Super Nintendo Chalmers

In all fairness, they could've used a picture of him holding a box of 'gay cake mix'.

Kevin Allard

No one in 2019 would suspect that 2020 would bring us both a global pandemic and Mike starring in a comedy with Finn Wolfhard.

Nathan Smith

I was surprised at how much I loved that 10-minute episode. I really hope this show gets picked up and I really hope Mike makes more appearances.

The posture is there but wheres the craft beer

HOW EMBARRASSING

Frank

"Mike Stoklasa has experience as a writer, director, and actor, mostly in animation." 🤔

Aaron Von Seggern

I have a feeling they don't know who he is outside IMDb

WINTER OWL

Is Bliblie control replacing Half in the Bag?

Marvin Falz

Nice voice over work, Mike!

Amy Hitchner

Nobody puts Baby at the bottom of the list.

Mike in photo: “Not sure if serious...”

i feel this is mike channeling his sorrow over what they have done to star trek.

Tim Fuglsang

For a moment, I was confused about what this is, and I thought maybe the animated show was based on RLM, but then I instantly realized that clearly isn't the case, when I saw that the red character on the right is waaaaay too tall to be Jay, who is of course "pissed off that [he's] so tiny."

Steve

You should sue for copyright infringement. They clearly stole the motif of HITB with Jay, Mike, and Mr Plinkett.

RedVIII

As much as I love Mike, this was really too weird and stupid for me, to be honest.

Benjamin Rowlinson

A show with one episode is " hit among fans"? It sure would be surprising if the fans of the show with just one episode were disappointed by it. I guess they mean "fans" of the manchild-oriented, cocktail-umbrella-in-a-dogturd animation genre. Mike is great. He is the cocktail umbrella.

Mike M

PROUD OF YOU MIKE!

Bort Ward

It's good to see people you like (even if you'll never meet them in person) succeed.

Matthieu

Mike, you deserve nothing but the worst, we're all fucking proud of you.

Rothar

Have long been a fan of Zach's stuff back when he did newground animations, back before I found you guys. So hearing Mike's voice in a show together with some of the people I've adored since I was a wee lad was an amazing experience. I can only hope it was as fun making it and that you might be willing to put up with Zach, Tom and the other guys' escapades in the future to create more episodes. Hope you guys stay safe!

Erzaad

Does Fulp still run Newgrounds?

Ken

I always assumed we'd see Mike hired to voice Palpatine before anything else. This is a refreshing surprise!

Marissa Adams

I just discovered Ollie & Scoops, featuring Mike AND Rich, voicing cats. Whaaaaaaaaat

securethong

I caught this when it premiered and instantly recognized the voice. I enjoyed the episode since I like the previous work of the creator and I hope it picks up and Mike is a regular or semi-regular on it.

Scott B. Smith

Enjoyed the short and Mike's performance. Thanks for letting us know about this.

Chris

..."I'm thinking of ways to kill you..."

Ty P

hahaha

Andrew Cassar

I know this is an old post but holy fuck, Tom Fulp and Marc M, guys I knew from my teens rotting by brain on Newgrounds, what an incredible mix of people.
