Here ’s a look back at the all-inclusive mountain chain of animation styles in drama during the 2d season , followed by a look back at some sentiment that Cusack and Hadel had to share during last month ’s 2024 Annecy International Animation Festival :
Smiling Friends Creators Want Series to Have “Always Sunny” Vibes
During Adult Swim ’s presentationat the 2024 Annecy International Animation Festival , Hadel addressed whether viewers should expect the series to take on darker and/or more serious topic during succeeding season – similar to what we ’ve encounter from other animise series that have those " exceptional " episodes . " A lot of drollery shows , like you say , tend to get serious , " Hadel shared in response to a inquiry from an attendee . " I do n’t think Charlie and Pim could cry , and anybody would care . It would just be irritating . So it would probably end before it gets to that stage . " Hadel stay on , " This show is hopefully kind of an escape . We always think about when we worked minimum - salary jobs ; we would get home and just want to watch YouTube cartoons and South Park and [ It ’s ] Always Sunny [ in Philadelphia ] . There ’s something nice about being a little clowning thing , and that ’s it . "
And there it is ! Are we surprised ? No – but being a diehard fan of FXX’sRob McElhenney , Charlie Day , Glenn Howerton , Kaitlin Olson&Danny DeVito - starringIt ’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia , I know that we do n’t always tend to go public a lot with our love for the greatest sitcom to ever grace a television screen . So when one of us does , it ’s prissy to see – and when it ’s two gifted folks like Cusack and Hadel , even more so .
" Something like ' South Park , ' when I saw that instalment when Stan gets depressed , I loved that because Trey [ Parker ] and Matt [ Stone ] are so corking at that when they get serious . I just consider we wish keeping a continuous tone with ' Smiling Friends , ' where you’re able to tune in in any time of year . You do n’t really know where you are , " Cusack added . And for those of you wondering when the season - long serialized plot line are going to kick in , Hadel makes it clear that fans should n’t be holding their corporate breath for them anytime shortly . " I do n’t think we ’ll ever do serialization . It ’s supposed to just be popcorn . It ’s McDonald ’s of TV , ' Hadel explained .
