Reminds me of how in The Suicide Squad Javelin while dying asks Harley Quinn to carry on his javelin for him, and it feels like its setting up for a joke of her casually dismissing it or throwing it away, but instead she genuinely does use it as her main weapin for the rest of the movie.
"But the public wasn't ready for it, so I sold terribly. And then Salty took me off his damn menu and locked me away down here! And now you know my cool f***ing backstory!"
Full of Bitcoins... Very expensive Bitcoins... And now they are all going to waste! I know you were going for the illegal no no porn as the joke, but c'mon. Century Egg seemed like a pretty cool guy, especially his backstory
Century Egg has the best reason to kill Salty (for chaining him up in a basement) and is yet the only one who didn't participate in killing him, hahaha
i love that century egg was a menu item but there’s also inexplicably one representative century egg referred to only as “The Century Egg” that is alive and trapped in salty’s basement
@@morbidchid the way he talks about himself it’s like he embodies the concept of the century egg as a menu item. when they stopped selling century eggs they specifically took HIM off the menu
To this day I keep thinking about that. The mascots are also a physical manifestation of the food in the menu, well, even more so than the actual food. They're like avatars for the plates themselves
@@thatonetroll1059 I mean, the guy said he filmed EVERYTHING that happened in Salty's office. That probably includes what Salty was doing with the Mustard.
For anyone who hasn't tried century egg before, I will tell you. It looks absolutely disgusting, was made absolutely disgusting, but tastes absolutely delicious. It's like eating a zombie eyeball but it magically turns into something indescribable but delectable in your mouth. Idk man this world is weird.
"and now you know my COOL f*cking backstory" is one of my favorite lines in the entire series. it is so meta and so perfectly executed, not to mention the cursed nature of the "yes, i was delicious" and charlie admitting it's pretty cool. honestly i happened to like the century egg i actually thought it was pretty good i happened to like it, it is one of my favorite smiling friends jokes.
@@quartch7650 yeah they’re salty but for me the texture is the real challenge for some. The “egg white” is literally jelly and the yolk is very creamy.
Everyone who reacts poorly to it seems to make the mistake of trying chew up the entire thing like a hardboiled egg. If you do that, of course the textures are going to overwhelm you. It's preferably eaten in slices with soy sauce.
It's funny cause it seems like a wierd item like the previous healthy food items.. but century eggs are real and a real particular taste.. I love how obscure they built a random item with something that seems fake but is very traditional... like haggas
For anyone wondering, Century egg actually tastes really good, i think it pairs great with the sea weed soup and i know resturaunt where it comes with some rice porridge for like 2 bucks.
hopefully this episode would make some people more open minded to the idea of eating century eggs instead of just judging it before they even tasted it lol
I just had a century egg today and I watched this episode while eating it. It's actually not that bad but I'd eat it with something, as opposed to by itself.
Honestly, I am so glad that they didn't do that cliche thing where a dying person has something hidden but they die before it can be found, so the people who have to find it spend the whole episode looking for the thing.
Century eggs are pretty good, a bit of an acquired taste but have em with congee porridge next time you're at a Cantonese restaurant. Or braised with spinach.
1:43 That's the kind of joke you can only pull off if you anthropomorphize food. (Then again, half the jokes with the Century Egg played with that duality.)
When I learned that Zach Hadel is a fan of Dan Aykroyd's Nothing But Trouble, suddenly a lot of the character designs in this show made a lot more sense to me.
I don't think I'd eat a century egg, the kind of Hawaiian pork that's buried in the ground and cooked by covering it with hot stones (I think it's called Kālua?) is delicious though. Salty should've added that to the menu
if the appearance is what’s offputting to you, try it at a chinese place with spinach and salted egg. it’s a good way to ease into it, the dish is literally called chinese spinach with egg (三色蛋苋菜), it’s actually incredibly tasty
Hey man I think getting eaten is what he would've wanted. He was delicious, people weren't ready. Maybe when Pim tries him it'll change his life and he'll go on to represent our true lord and savior Century Egg
I like how even if Charlie isn't stoked about everything like Pim, hes not negative either and obviously hes working to make people smile, but its just nice that hes not sarcastic when pim asks him what a century egg like "uch you don't know?! its so good, cant believe you don't know, thats embarrassing."

I love how Charlie tells the egg that they will bury them in the most sarcastic tone ever conceived in dialogue history and still keeps it's promise
subversion of expectation on top of a subversion of expectation.
And then they dig him back up so Pim can eat him anyway 😂
They will bury *him* in the most sarcastic tone ever, and still keeps *his* promise!

This episode had me in tears. I love that Charlie kept his word and yet they all end up eating The Century Egg lol.
The egg was angry it was taken off the menu. It clearly wanted to be eaten.
@@Knuspabrot and he was delicious. ;)
It's what it would have wanted.
Well you got to try it at least once
It's what he would've wanted. He was delicious.
The first drawer was full hard drives. And based on his reaction that can only mean one thing…
LMFAO I never noticed they were hard drives, that's too funny, the attention to detail lmao
Full of Bitcoins... Very expensive Bitcoins... And now they are all going to waste!
I know you were going for the illegal no no porn as the joke, but c'mon. Century Egg seemed like a pretty cool guy, especially his backstory
he went to the Fappening and saw Mr. Frog
Its always the people we least expect.
I think the implication was supposed to be its video of mr salty and mustard having their affair
The part I love the most about the Century egg is how he talks like he is self aware that he is a plot device
Being a century old will give you that kind of wisdom
"my cooool fucking backstory"
Didn't see the after credits scene upon first watch so I legitimately thought Charlie ate the egg.
Pim might have
“Okay you have to try it at least once”
*Charlie digs him out*
I mean he did....
Quantum physics be like
Well...he did
They said they’d bury him, they didn’t say for how long
He's way more delicious now afterall
Technically they kept their promise
I love how you can tell every character Zach voices by how they say the word “damn.”
lol that is so true! It’s like his signature or something!
Damn, not like this
Damn, not here…!
Damn not this.

It's the mixing if Abstarct Concepts and groundedness that I like. You can also see it in the Gwimbly episode, kinda
The way Gwimbly is both the charactwr and the person representative of the character
1:40 i love it when pim just drops his cheerful persona and just talks in a more relaxed tone
You must love the Lord of the Rings episode.
Fun fact: Because some traditional forms of their preparation involve using salt, century eggs can get these cool snowflake patterns on them.
is...that...fun?

@@chuckleberry2142 Yep. They’re a very ancient Chinese delicacy.
@@srbrant5391 Well, I'm definitely putting it on my bucket list to try one.

He prob hidin something

I didn’t know there was a post credit scene when I watched it at first 😂

I love this episode so much
Where can I watch the episodes?
@@itznotjes185 hbo max or you can purchase the episodes from CZcams
HBO max is just called max now.
I did not know Charlie actually upheld his bargain.
I like how the egg genuinely helps them out and the guys do bury in the chinise mountains this shows wierd yet so what wholesome
“and now you know my cooool fucking backstory” feels like a classic zach-ism
Charlie's fake sarcasm was pretty obvious, but I also love how the egg still says thank you when Charlie tells him his backstory is pretty cool
For anyone who hasn't tried century egg before, I will tell you. It looks absolutely disgusting, was made absolutely disgusting, but tastes absolutely delicious. It's like eating a zombie eyeball but it magically turns into something indescribable but delectable in your mouth. Idk man this world is weird.
How *do* you eat it? Is it like a hard boiled egg where you peel the shell off? Or can you just bite into it from the get go?
@@frootsnacc6790
Pretty much yea. They come in packages, just peel em and eat em.
I know people say that it should NOT be eaten by itself so what exactly are they served with?
@@acemarvel1564good with congee. Its got a savory flavour and a rich, luxurious texture. I think its ok

The burial scene was just as funny out of context as it was with context
"That is pretty cool"
"Thank you"
I can't wait for season two
It's here.
I wonder what awful shit was in the first draw 😂
It looks like it’s full of hard drives which can only mean one thing
Cheese Pizza
Epstein's little book

Secret recordings of mustard. At least, that’s my guess.
I love century eggs voice out of every character, has that iconic rasp
Charlie keeping his promise is great, but can we talk about how adorable is that Pim kisses the egg to thank him?
“My coollllll fucking backstory” kills me every time
"Hey guys welcome back to Binging with Babish and today we're going to be making Salty's iconic Century Egg from Smiling Friends"
century eggs are fire, but its an acquired taste
What they taste like, are they earthy or something?
@@snanoopis6584 apparently they're very salty
@@quartch7650 yeah they’re salty but for me the texture is the real challenge for some. The “egg white” is literally jelly and the yolk is very creamy.

@@quartch7650 huh where I'm from they're not salty
I like how a fast food restaurant literally sells century eggs

I think its very sweet how much Charlie wants Pim to try the century egg.

If Kirk Douglas were still alive, he definitely would've voiced this character
gd Charlie's a good dude but man's gotta eat
It's what the egg would have wanted.
@@ejm1225
“Yes, I was delicious.”
He probably wanted to be buried in China specifically so he’d get dug up and eaten.
Why does the Century Egg sounds like he is written like a parody to side quest NPCs from an RPG video game?
I love how the shows va are just internet folk and micheal and 95% Zach
TIL the century egg is actually a real dish
I'm so glad I got to hear his cool fucking back-story
A multi-part joke and character arc covered in 1 minute and 48 seconds of an episode. This show is a masterpiece.
We thought Charlie was being sarcastic about going all the way to China to bury him, but he wasn't being sarcastic, he was excited to go 😂
Charlie 100% kept up his end of the bargain, the century egg just wanted to be buried in china, he never specified for how long
Honestly thought the Century Egg was just made up for this episode but then randomly seen a video for actual Century Eggs on CZcams
“Well you have to try it at least once” *ad comes on* “it tastes like fried chicken”
Huh I just learned that century eggs are actually real
I love the little pause he does before "Shang-bi river"
You have to be a special type of baddass to fake being dead after telling your last words for the extra drama factor
hopefully this episode would make some people more open minded to the idea of eating century eggs instead of just judging it before they even tasted it lol
Century egg was the real hero of this episode.
I like how they brought Alan and Glep even though they had no part in this.
I find it really depressing how this egg's last wish was to go back home.
I mean technically they did bury him, so the promise was still kept, even if they ate him in the end...
I mean he only told them to bury him in china, not how long he wanted to be buried
1:20 Dat's some spit.
1:22
Charlie opens the drawer
Century Egg: Oh, no, no, no. Not that one. Other drawer.
Had me dying!
Everytime!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😭😭😭😭😭😭
I just had a century egg today and I watched this episode while eating it. It's actually not that bad but I'd eat it with something, as opposed to by itself.
the background has 105 tally marks on it, so he really is a century egg past his expiration date.
And now you know my COOL F***ing back Story
I love that Allan and Glep had no reason to be there, and still went
I love how the egg came back to life for a few seconds just to correct Charlie. 😂
“Tomar, if you went into your basement and found a century egg and it asked you to bury it in its hometown as its final will, would you do it?”
Charlie didn't even try to go back for that other drawer, he just immediately closed it, said "I'm sorry", and didn't look back
charlie says it so sarcastically but then actually goes to china to bury him
"So I sold terribly, and Salty took me off his DAMN menu and locked me down here!"
Best anime backstory.
My brain randomly at 4am: NOW YOU KNOW MY COOOOL FUCKING BACKSTORY!
They just need to open the wrong drawer again to revive him.
Honestly, I am so glad that they didn't do that cliche thing where a dying person has something hidden but they die before it can be found, so the people who have to find it spend the whole episode looking for the thing.

I love that they sounded like they weren’t gonna bury him, but they actually did.
I love that he kept his promise
I really gotta see if I can find someone selling century eggs cuz doing it yourself is kinda hard if you don't know what you're doing
If you count the marks on the walls the result is 105 days
That ending is brilliant.
We need season 2.
Why hasn't it come out.?
I thought century eggs were just something that they made up for this episode, then I looked it up and they're real food that people eat.

They actually do exist

Really captures the “pain in the ass” energy, where you have no idea if you should keep the promise.
