Smiling Friends

AnimationComedyHorror12 min per episode

At a tiny charity devoted to making people smile, four employees take on one unhappy client after another and head into increasingly strange corners of their world to fix the problem. Charlie and Pim mean well, but every assignment turns simple encouragement into something messier: a personal crisis, a bizarre errand, or a run-in with people and creatures who make happiness look impossible. Inside the office, the group’s clashing temperaments turn even routine jobs into arguments and detours. The series follows these missions through a surreal mix of deadpan workplace comedy, abrupt violence, and unpredictable animation that keeps each attempt to help from going where anyone expects.
