It was actually wild though. I was just saying id forgotten all about Jerry Jackson cartoons like it was a fever dream of my youth. Then hearing you do that voice again as a 30 year old made a big smile creep across my face.
That’s exactly what David got inspiration from, he would get hate mail by someone who could never spell, never used commas or periods, used random capital words.. then created jerry Jackson, based off of him
I'm laughing because I never realized how recognizable David Firth's voice actually is. I guess it's because I've never heard him outside of his own work lmao
With all these old Newgrounds folks the whole show feels like a fever dream of my entire childhood. It's really good to see/hear a lot of these voices again. I forgot almost entirely about Jerry Jackson but as soon as I heard David Firth this huge smile crept across my face.
So true. I was just thinking the other day how far Zach has come from his first Mario animation on new ground to having his own show on adult swim. What an accomplishment!
@Ahmed Malaki it really is a breath of fresh air for Adult Swim too. I feel like I haven't been all that interested in the more recent years ever since like the last season of Aqua Teen.

@@Circuitssmith "No I wouldn't cheat on my wife" "Yeah but what if jaxxy was a shrimp lady and this woman was literally the most beautiful woman in the planet, a beautiful gamer maiden goddess for a beautiful gamer tomar like yourself, would you do it then?" "what?"
I want to see a clip of Charlie saying “You look like you’re about to tell your friend not to come to school tomorrow.” I’m honestly surprised nobody’s done it by now.
I never expected Jerry Jackson to star in an Adult Swim show. Good thing because he hasn’t uploaded any new animations for a while and I was nervous for him.
I think the cool thing is that the whole episode is about Charlie trying to change Shrimp to be "better," but Shrimp got a beautiful girlfriend at the end just by being himself. And there's nothing wrong with that, because he was never toxic or a bad person, like a neckbeard or a misogynist or just an asshole. The only thing he really needed to change was to let go of Shrimpeena. A strangely wholesome message for an Adult Swim cartoon. Actually, this show as a whole is oddly heartwarming for Adult Swim.
I was skimming through these comments to see if anyone would share more serious thoughts and it was definitely worth it to read this. I recently went through what shrimp is feeling and honestly still am, so this episode despite its humor really speaks to me on an emotional level.
Here's my take, Shrimps Mouse Quest obsession started off normal but after the break-up a fun past time hobby became an unhealthy coping mechanism. Charlie never told him to stop playing video games just to get his life in order. Shrimp never objects to anything Charlie puts him through, so he DID wanna change. (especially if it meant getting Shrimpina back) But just as it seems like he's doomed to be alone forever he meets Jennifer & goes for broke asking if she likes Mouse Quest. A relationship with someone won't always work out perfectly but that doesn't mean you should stop trying.
Hearing David's voice hurt my brain, I'm so used to his surrealist animations and to hear him come up in smiling friends - a comedy animation featuring Michael and Zach - god damn that actually hurts my brain that all 3 of them are in a show together.
God I hope Shrimp goes on to be a prominent secondary character in future seasons. David Firth has some of the most hilarious line delivery I’ve ever heard from a voice actor. It’s been two years since the last episode of Jerry Jackson, so this cameo filled the hole in my heart left by the absence of Jerry Jackson.
0:31 Funny thing is Shrimp stopped screaming before Charlie closed the curtains, so he got used to it. There was no reason for Charlie to close them lol
Is it me or is it Zach and Michael out there hiring content creators we all know voicing characters in their show? I can't believe they're making money!
They're hiring their NG buddies, and to be frank Smiling Friends does look like something you'd see Front Paged in NG everytime a new episode comes out.
Shrimp is my favourite character so far, everything is superb about him. The northern accent, the monotone voice, the love of mouse quest and his Shrimpina, and the scene of him dripped out looking like a school shooter 😂
"I am too, scared of confrontation ahh" I love Davids voice he puts on for this character it sounds like a nerdy text to speech AI but the way he says that line is perfect in every regard
Holy shit! I just realized for the first time that at 0:21 Shrimp's eyes are drawn through his glasses although you are looking from behind. I'm sorry I can't stop laughing.
I wish I hadn't been traumatized by Salad Fingers to the point where I go into a fight or flight response whenever I see his face so that I could have recognized David Firth's voice when he came on
Best episode imo, I keep going back to rewatch it bc the jokes in it just make me giggle as well as Shrimp’s accent and punctuation. Truly a masterpiece 🍤
I like that over the course of the episode, Shrimp goes from the more robotic sounding with his sentances, to sounding more natural and like a normal person (but still keeps calling Pim and Charlie by their colors).
Jesus David’s voice is just so Instantly recognisable it’s uncanny, I keep expecting him to start talking about linkin Park and giving poorly worded advice about life.
They asked for the Jerry Jackson voice. Easiest voice acting gig of my life.
holy crap its the salad man
BRUH
Job well done David. So, uh do you like Mouse Quest?
Legend
It was actually wild though. I was just saying id forgotten all about Jerry Jackson cartoons like it was a fever dream of my youth. Then hearing you do that voice again as a 30 year old made a big smile creep across my face.
The Way Shrimp Talks Makes It Sound Like He Capitalizes Every Word In The Sentence Without Using Commas Or Any Other Punctuation
And in text, he uses [TACTICAL OMISSION] unironically.
Queen voice canon /hj
To me he sounds more like he puts a period after every word.
"How. Do. I. Look. Yellow. Man?"
That’s exactly what David got inspiration from, he would get hate mail by someone who could never spell, never used commas or periods, used random capital words.. then created jerry Jackson, based off of him
To me he sounds like a text to speech function.
What would you do if you walked into a room and there was a beautiful shrimp-man playing a sweet ass new video game called mouse quest?
I would slap my thighs together
@@francisconikotian2326 I'd slap my cries together
A beautiful shrimp-man? I'd ask him how's he doing.
I'd rustle his hair while looking into his iconic eye and say 'way to go babe, proud of you'.
No, seriously, Tomar! What would you do?
"i am too scared of confrontation. ahhh"
best line
Such a mood
No one else like this comment it has 666
I can’t tell if he’s saying ahh from the burn, the bite, or the anxiety about confrontation
Rex and Shrimp should be great friends!

This man is born with a vocoder.
I had no Idea that David was John Firth
woww i didn’t know that was him until you pointed it out, it’s so very obvious now watching it back lmao!
I noticed the second I heard it lol His animations are hilarious
It's not an animated thing, but he did a voice and worked on the script for the movie Kuso. It's really weird and worth checking out
I don't know why, but I feel like at any minute he's gonna invite me into his home in the stone wall to have some tea with the missus.
Bri*ish

Something about the way he says "I AM 'ARTBROKEN" gets me giggling.
Lol
That hyperrealistic scene of Shrimp in the leather jacket will always be my favorite.
He looks like he’s about to tell his friend not to come to school tomorrow, dude
reminds me of classic spongebob
@@eggy7346 The April Fools puppet version feels even more like a Spongebob gag with Shrimp's puppet being replaced by an actual shrimp.

@@NikoliBearcrusher I think Tigtone and the Shivering Truth are two of the best shows they’ve had in years. Also Primal if you count that
It’s the same sensation as when they made a live action pokemon movie. It’s so odd.

It's out there now.
I just love that he said “SIGH.” Instead of sighing
David doing his Jerry Jackson voice brilliant
He sounded like he's reading straight out of a script, including the *sign*.
Is that David Firth?
@@Iris-su2wx yeah it is
@@vinesauceobscurities Thats usually how Jerry Jackson talks.
@@vinesauceobscurities That's how he's always voiced characters though
Mouse quest..
I swear to God Zach made a hypothetical about a rat game to Chris, or they played a rat game OR SOMETHING
You're right. They played a rat simulator game
Zach loves crazy little creatures like mice
Transformice
They also specifically asked for more rat games.
"Make more rat games and we WILL play them on the channel" (sic)
Also very similar to worm odyssey
"How do I look, yellooooh mahn"
I can't tell you how much I love Shrimp's delivery
Actually fucking incredible to finally hear David Firth's voice in an animated cartoon on TV.
He did quite a few shorts like Drillbit Head as well as Charlie Brooker's Screenwipe that aired on the BBC in the 2000's.
The BBC actually featured Jerry Jackson's short on the Scunthorpe music festival, if you can believe that.
He was on FlyLo FM
I like how Shirmp's head moves when he talks instead of just his jaw.
I love how he has 4 monitors for his PC but all of them have Mouse Quest on them
I never expected Jerry Jackson to star in an Adult Swim show. Good thing because he hasn’t uploaded any new animations for a while and I was nervous for him.
Me too
I like jerr jackzun AND he is my friend AND I love him very much AND I was beginning to MISS him

this story is non-oddly misleading about how the world works
I don't think it's that deep lol
I like that shrimps glasses are his eyes. Looking from behind his head just looks like he’s looking backwards
It's like his eyes are integrated into his glasses.
The way “That is why I do not even bother” is delivered makes me cackle every single time I hear it
So cool of them to remember the OGs from newgrounds and include them in their project. Jerry really deserved this one!
Why phrase it like “remember”? Most of these guys know and are friends with each other
Jerry Jackson?
Hearing David's voice hurt my brain, I'm so used to his surrealist animations and to hear him come up in smiling friends - a comedy animation featuring Michael and Zach - god damn that actually hurts my brain that all 3 of them are in a show together.
it's still a pretty grotesque cartoon, despite all the pretty colours. feels in-line with his other work.
This voice he's doing is from one of his more comedic series Jerry Jackson
That and Marc M as the boss is somehow more coherent than anything in sick animation
wait you're telling me smiling friends is a comedy animation featuring Michael and Zach? wow thanks man I didn't know

Why does “how do I look yelloh man?” Stick to my mind so strongly
something about a Yorkshore accent with this cadence makes me laugh like a moron
I inmediately recognized David's voice as soon as he started talking, even tho i didn't even knew David was in this show, amazing!
No celebrity guest voice will ever top this for me
Same. I was like I KNOW this voice, but couldn't place where. David Firth is a legend lol

At first i thought it was an Asian stereotype
I feel like he's gonna invite me to play cars with his friends Jon and Merrick
Lol merrick is my name this comment freaked me out, still tho I would be down
Merrick can't come out today he's filing his tax returns
david's voice is so fucking iconic, i instantly recognized it the second i heard it
It's an extremely hard call between this guy and mr. frog for best one-off character
Ever since i watched this every time someone knocks to come into my apartment i can't help saying "it is open" just like shrimp does.

Everytime he screams is fucking hilarious.
I love david firth’s text to speech-esque cadence
i like how his top jaw moves when he talks instead of the bottom one.
That sounds like some South Park Canadian content
It feels really good to know that adult swims reaching into New grounds to pick animators to fund shows, like how genuinely badass is that???
That's not quite what happened. Zach and Michael made the pilot and took it to Adult Swim. You have those two to thank
Zach has been trying to get an Adult Swim show for years and they turned tons of his stuff down previously.
This Is How I Imagine People Who Start Every Word With A Capital Letter Sound
David firth's voice acting is so good 😭 I hope he gets more and more work like this
I love how he talks like a text to speech voice and then later on he's just like "AAAAAA"
Oh shit, IT IS him! David Firth! Haven’t heard from him in a while! Good to see he’s still doing stuff. Love his work.
I wish I hadn't been traumatized by Salad Fingers to the point where I go into a fight or flight response whenever I see his face so that I could have recognized David Firth's voice when he came on
i adore how he just SAYS "sigh"
I got SO excited when I first heard his voice. I was like, holy shit is that David Firth??
Smiling Friends is off to such a damn good start.
0:39 Dan Peacock is an amazing artist
Me in the top left
This truly was an odyssey of epic proportions
I just noticed all the Fortnite figurines and Funkos in his room
There's also a Mr frog action figure
The way that Shrimp talks kills me, especially when he says "sigh". 😂
"Aou do I look Yellaw man?"
Funni Yorkshire Shrimp
@hello there Only way this bit would have been more perfect is if it referenced the Burlington Coat Factory.
0:45 Shrimp is secretly strong because he is able to lift 100 pounds
I knew it was him !! Haha that’s so cool I love David firth’s work! I listen to Locust Toybox at least once a week.
can we just appreciate for a second how his bottom jaw just stays there while he talks?
0:45 This is why I don't go to the gym anymore
I think my favourite part of all of this is the mouse model freaking the hell out when he levels up

It's probably been 15 years since I last saw Jerry Jackson, but I recognized that voice immediately.
Shrimp Quest? More like Worm Odysssey
I absolutely love the line "How do I look, yellow man"
I like how his eyes are inside the glasses
he’s so beautiful and charming, something about him, it’s all so captivating
1:06 the fucking last frame, his eyes are embedded in his glasses lmaooooo
Watching his lower jaw never change position but his head moving up and down as he talks mesmerizes me
This guy is my spirit animal
I dunno, it doesn't feel right without Charlie's iconic lines like "you-you look like you're about to tell your friend to stay home"
