...I find it funny to imagine that Catnap was going "Bruh" at how Picky's idea of a breakfast can feed three soldiers... I mean, once you see him in the tree, he's clearly finding Bubba shoving Picky back to the house for a check up kind of amusing, so I can imagine Catnap going "Wha??" at hearing Picky's idea of "Breakfast".

Pickypiggy went cannibal at 2:44. Also love how catnap appears in almost every scene.

I was wondering where DogDay and Bobby were, but then I realized they're likely not there because DogDay's still sick, and Bobby's taking care of him. Nice bit of continuity there! Also, Kickin remembering breaking Hoppy's leg was golden, and I am LIVING for their sibling dynamic 😂

If Crafty ever gets super hurt in any of these you will be condemned to the pit of Hades. She is precious and to be protected at all costs.

I feel bad for Craftycorn, just sitting there, eating alone. She'll probably be fine

Does anybody notice that CatNap was following the entire gang during this entire episode and the episodes before that? I wondered how the hell he knew in episode 2 that DogDay needed help... Well better help. It seems like he really does care about his friends even though he has an ominous aura to himself. What is the entire episode you see his tail, while he was casually taking a nap. And later, Listening to everything about Picky's condition.

I like how it ended on a sweet moment with Bubba and Picky. He's doing this because he cares about her health. I do feel a little bad for Picky though, Hoppy and Kicken are gonna get so competitive that they will likely break Picky. Do kind of wish Hoppy would quit going for low blows with Kicken though. Kicken should never let go the broken leg bit though, not until Hoppy apologizes. I do feel bad for Crafty since everyone left her alone at the picnic blanket.

I swear Hoppy and Kickin have the funniest friend rivalry vibe 😂 and I honestly love how supportive and gentle Bubba is towards Crafty and Picky despite Picky being nervous and worried about the new changes. I wish they acknowledged Catnap literally being right there though 😂

I love how even the subtitles have its own "personality", as in it's not just transcribing what the characters say, it also adds some fun into the presented dialogue

3:24 "there's a shenanigan going on..." "without me."

5:26 love this part when it only picky and bubba

i feel bad for CraftyCorn, she's by herself...all alone...forgotten... no cares... *She'll be fine*

4:44 Kickin: "And who better for the job then the best?" Hoppy: "YEAH! And Kickin too!" Kickin: "Eh-! W-Whu...!" Bruh I'm laughing my ass off that was too funny Lol

‘And who better for the job than the best?’ ‘Yeah! And Kickin too!’ *EMOTIONAL DAMAGE* 😂😂

4:25 catnap be like: hi :)

I love how Crafty Corn is always all shy and friendly about everything ☺️😂🤣😘🦄🤍🌈🖌️🎨

ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I WAITED A MONTH FOR THIS?? THIS WAS SO WORTH IT ILL DO IT AGAIN.

Geez Kicken just keeps getting dunked on lol. In Episode 1 he's traumatized by Hoppy's psychological warfare, in Episode 2 when he recovered from said trauma everyone starts yelling at him, and now at 4:43 Hoppy just verbally fries him like she's Colonel Sanders. Omg this has been one hilarious show so far.

2:12 LOOK AT THAT LIL SMILE~ CRAFTY IS SO CUUUUTE AAAAAH~ ❤️

Hoppy: "Ughh, we've been walking all day. My feet hurt!" Also Hoppy: "C'mon I have too much energy I need to move!"

YAYYYY 3:55 bro really jsut called her fat

4:48 EMOTIONAL DAMAGE

Hoppy: YEAH! And Kickin too! Kickin: EMOTIONAL DAMAGE

Yo Gem, just wanted to really thank you for the time and effort you put into these. I know some people get frustrated about how long it takes and have even said some rather negative things in the comments regarding that. I'm genuinely sorry for that and any pressure that may have caused while you were making this episode. I feel like the amount of the work you've done has gone under the radar for some so I just wanted to acknowledege and let you know that we all really really appreciate it. Like you literally do EVERYTHING yourself. This episode alone showed everybody it was worth the wait and then some with how high quality it is. You really go above and beyond when you say you're going to give your best, a lot of people don't focus on that anymore. Like you could've easily with how popular the Smiling Critters are cause they are popular just pumped out episode after episode to get views and such but no. You take your time and put so much thought and care into each of these, wanting to put out the best you can for your viewers. That's dedication and hard work. This episode was phenomenal and again thank you for everything you've put into it and will put into this series. Hope you have a good break, you definitely deserve it and a great time making part 2 when you do. You the true gem my dude.💎

3:30 Catnap"s thought: "So adorable when they get into trouble."

1:48 i love how Bubba is gentle talking to Crafty, because he knows that she is shy (love him so much) 🥺🥺🥺💙💙💙🐘🐘🐘✨✨✨

@5:22-5:25 I'm glad Kickin hasnt forgiven her for that, at least not yet. Cause that really was a shitty thing to do to a friend, specially to win a game for fun. Anyway, i love how this has become an actual series instead of a random vid or two. Theres so many small moments and animations that really do a lot showing off each character's personality and how they play off each other. I wish the team great fortune for the next episode and any future projects.

"It kind of feels like there is a shenanigans going on . . . without me" had me dying💀💀💀

Did anyone else notice at 0:20 HOJ aka hour of joy is scratched on the tree. Also, it makes me happy to see so many talented artists, writers, voice actors and more make their own fan smiling critters tv show.

2:48 "A PB and J, my favorite" Gemstin knows his lore

5:21 K:”or any legs” H:”you ever gonna let that go?” K:”idk should I?” Was hilarious I can’t even

Anyone else noticed the evolution chart in Bubbaphant's house? It had Huggy Wuggy be the final stage of evolution.

4:12 He did the "B O I" gesture I'm ded

BB"and don't break anything." KC"or any legs." HH"you ever gonna let that go?" KC"I don't know. Should I?" It's crazy to see how "Leg Day" affected Kickin. Love this💙 worth the wait.

This was great! A lot of fun, and love how the captions are often their own humor. Also really like how “darker implications” (Picky eating bacon and a possible eating disorder) are handled in a way to still come off as funny as a “hold up,” moment. Also curious how Catnap apparently viewed the potential shenanigans as worth waking up early for, but if the past is any indication, he may end up being needed as a mitigating party. Also can’t help but think that that “calorie counter” only really works if Picky decides to really cut down and maintain a diet. Also, Dogday and Bobby are going to be pretty confused when they get to the picnic and find Crafty alone.

It's almost unbelievable to me that one guy is doing all of these voices and sound completely different with each one, good job 👍👍👍❤❤

5:19 Episode 1 reference 😂

Crafty bringing a marshmallows from the cereal, was the most adorable thing ever. Awww... The episode was worth the wait, even if it's just part 1.

3:29 I like how CatNap just opened one eye that he was listening through the whole conversation (He's so mischievous, which he was like that like every episode) 4:04 I like how CatNap just peek through the window (He's cute little face) for no reason just to hear what Bubba and Picky were talking about.

Insane animation, high-quality voice-acting and just no horror or anything. Keep it up my man

2:44 Picky had Bacon 3:32 catnap in the tree 3:38 huggy wuggy in the human evolution chart 4:05 “Don’t wake up” slightly below

If Mob doesn't at least show a few Smiling Critters in chapter 4, I'm gonna BE ENRAGED FOR SURE. and I don't think I'm the only one who will be

With the sign at 4:06 saying "Don't Wake Up", it's giving me some...thoughts about why CatNap always seems to know just what's going on. So what if Cat-Nap's put everyone in dreams and the dreams they have relate to each of their worst fears? Like it starts out all kind and friendly until it goes haywire and suddenly people start to panic as if none of it was supposed to happen? With Kickin Chicken, his fear must have been represented in how him trying to be the coolest got one of his friends hurt really bad...So underneath that cool facade, K.C doesn't want to see his friends get hurt. With Dog-Day, his fear (As with every leader-esc character) is letting his friends down when he knows they rely on him to know what to schedule and go...so him getting sick must have been constant agony for his mentality, despite Bobby giving him support. Now with Picky-Piggy...the fear of being forced to give up what they love and having to do what is essentially the opposite instead, showing more fear and more hesitation the more someone like Bubba or Hoppy tell them they'll do their best. Cat-Nap is often seen in the background of the videos, always near where the most action is and far away from a quiet environment he'd most likely enjoy. But in the previous two videos, Cat-Nap has always been the catalyst for its ending. He managed to kick a ball with the same force as someone who's SPECIALIZED in kicking to break Hoppy's lucky leg and managed to put Dog-Day to sleep in a matter of two seconds. There's also the screen glitching when he showed up in episodes 1 and 2, the lack of voice lines as he's always seen watching, the mysterious signs he was carrying towards somewhere in episode 2, the black soccer outfit in episode 1, and he always seems to know just what to do to fix a problem. So the active theory is that as the episodes go on, Cat-Nap is going to observe how they act towards their fears and help them overcome it to be more effective in the Hour of Joy...most likely for the pleasure of the Prototype. But that's just a Theory...

Please do something to make them disappear from my sight. These silly things.

Picky: "Some toast....a breakfast burrito....SOME BACON" BRO WHAT?? PICKY IS A CANNIBAL? 2:40

4:05 Bith Catnap appearing and the words “DONT WAKE UP” on the eye test thingy is a nice touch

2:03 that humming was all i needed 😂

I just love Crafty so much, her personality is amazing ❤

Let’s gooooo! 3:17 awwwwe, absolutely adorable rendition of a sleeping catty

Crafty: “I packed us marshmallows, I had to separate them from the cereal first” Oh, she got the GOOD marshmallows

4:19 i just noticed that hoppy and kicken were watching behind the door-

yall need to get hoppy to use the kaioken when shes playing a sport💀

Picky : B-but h-how did I get it in the first place?! Bubba : How do you think? Picky : *Noo...* I honestly feel bad for her but it's for her own good, good luck Picky!

I relate way too Hoppy physical being unable to stand still, and Crafty just picking out cereal marshmallows.

This can be a actual kids cartoon if they dont know the backstory 😊

The gags are unironically so funny, like, I don't usually laugh at other animations but so far yours have been consistently incredible Looking forward to part 2!!! 👀 (also tHE WAY YOU DRAW CATNAP IS SO CUTE HHHHH)

2:44 Picky eating bacon is so wrong😂😂😂 I love this animation

fish (also its pretty cool how catnap is just in the background, but this time he didnt do anything, besides sleeping and spying on 'em)

It's amazing how only one person made this, it looks so professional, the designs are so nice and even the plot is totally enjoyable since it looks well developed with introduction and conflict in this part 1, and climax and resolution in part 2 I think that if MOB decides to make an "official cartoon", it should be like this production

3:21 Hoppy is the type of person to be like: “since I’m not getting the attention I deserve, I gonna cause problems on purpose”

Bubba: "What did you have this morning?" Picky: "I like having a big breakfast, helps me wake up. I'll take a casserole dish, something big and deep, poor about two inches of powdered sugar in there, a rack of baby back ribs, a layer of marshmallows, more powdered sugar till it's about yey high, throw that dude in the microwave for about forty five minutes, splinkle with powdered sugar and serve." Bubba: ".................that's what you eat for breakfast?" Picky: "Well, I supplement throughout the day with these protein bars." *pulls out a tube of cookie dough*

As a Catnap lover I utterly love how you portray him as a quite watcher. It is amazing that he is in nearly every other frame yet doesn’t intervene. You’ve given my adhd brain the reason search for him while I watch the episode,.. therefore I must watch it over and over so I can make sure I don’t miss any

Words fail to describe how much I love this! All the dark details hidden behind the colorful cuteness, amazing voice acting, and oml the art had me rocking in place with glee! Thank you so much for making these I’ll be sure to tell all my friends about this gem of a project (really doing the fandom proud fr) Hope everyone who made and watches these a lovely existence uwu

Catnap is like following them everywhere they go! Because wherever they go catnap is always sleeping there!😂😂😂😂

Hoppy reminds me so much of myself because since I have ADHD I can get so much energy that it makes me want to run a mile

dude this is litteraly the best thing poppy playtime has going for it rn

The “YESS GO LONG” part is kinda like the saying “SO LONG, SUCKERS! HAHAHAHAHA!”

I loved how no one decided to say something about piggy breakfast bacon, ribs…

3:24 HELP I CAN ACTUALLY SEE HER CANONICALLY SAYING THIS- 2:44 EXUSE ME?😨 1:48 STOPPP I LOVE THESE TWO😭💗🫶🩵💙 3:32 i just noticed that catnap was looking at bubba and picky. 3:55 damn my man just called her fat 4:43 damn hoppy you don’t gotta do my man like that. 4:54 & 1:34 i feel like she has ADHD.

YES EPISODE 3

if this was on TV I would be like"OH THE NEW CATROON IS HERE!!!" in nickolodeon

Episode 1: Catnap gets revenge for Kickin's PTSD Episode 2: Bubba realizes his friends are idiots, except Capnap aparently Episode 3.a: Picky is funna have a heart attack, Catnap steps in for Dogday while he recovers

5:20 Kicken is not forgetting 💀

5:05 picky’s face i feel so bad for her she’s one of my favs ❤😢

Well I feel like this is shenanigans going on without me😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I waited all just for this??? LOL I LOVE HOW DOGDAY WENT TO PICKY PIGGY'S PROBLEM XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD I'LL WAIT FOR THE PART

And this is why we let him take his time with animating. ☕

Aaaa I loved this episode! I'm incredibly excited for part 2! I love how Catnap is just in the background watching the entire time lmao.

crafty corn is like : Bro did you just leave me by me self 👀

3:41 Huggy on the evolutionary line hehehehe that’s funny

4:04 catnap: well that was a nice nap oh hey it's Bubba and picky wonder what their doing. Also his smile is kind of creeping me out

Time for another comment of me just gushing about this whole thing cause it's freaking phenomenal. First off, you can REALLY see the love, care, and effort put into this. You already could see that in the last two, but the quality just went even higher. There's so much more movement I feel and I never even had a problem with there being less movement in the others, I was just not expecting it here. Waiting for this was HELLA worth and I'd do it all again for every episode, ESPECIALLY if they're gonna come out like this holy. Like when you say you aren't gonna cut corners and give the best you can, you darn well mean it and it shows. Mad, MAD respect bro. Seems DogDay is maybe feeling better cause he arranged the picnic, nice! Love how Hoppy was complaining about walking "forever" but is immediately just super impatient and wants to move haha. Same with Kickin honestly, though I guess it'll take more than sore feet for him to turn down a competition with Hoppy. I love Kickin's freaking anime glasses btw that's even more perfect than him just having shades. He doesn't just wear shades, he wears the BEST MOST COOLEST possible shades lmao. I'm soooo happy we got to see more of the rad chicken boy let's go. Omg Crafty please turn down that cuteness I'm gonna die (no don't actually turn it down, it's amazing). "I had to separate them from the cereal first" BRO I WOULD LITERALLY DO THAT WHEN I ATE LUCKY CHARMS AS A KID WHAT. Well that just hit me with some nostalgia let's go Crafty, she a real one. The only true way to eat Lucky Charms. Okay I could be wrong but Picky's humming was probably referencing a song that I can't think of and it's gonna bug me pfft oh well. Still adorable regardless. I'm not even going to try to ask how she fit all that food in her cute lil barn lunch box, when a pig be hungry they get stuff done. Bubba..."all that?" You say that like she finished unpacking, nah man that was just half of what she brought. Asking if Picky didn't have breakfast is like asking CatNap if he's sick of sleeping all day omg. All of the things she had do sound delicious though, I actually got kinda hungry watching that part hah. I've never had Mac and Cheese as a side with BBQ ribs, I'll have to try that somtime. Also I'm gonna just assume that the uhm hints of red on the bacon, ribs, and burger are just sauce and tomato respectfully...and that the bacon she had was either tofu bacon or turkery bacon lol. Ayeee so PB&J is her favorite food huh? It's definitely one of my favorites if we're talking Uncrustables man those are good. Dude these interactions with Bubba and Picky are just golden, don't worry Picky if you faint on the way back Bubba will just carry you the rest of the way pfft (if he can even really lift you). "I have a tingly feeling that there's a shenanigan going on.....without ME." Hoppy has a bunny sense I see haha. Bro the menace squad is only just beginning their assault, if there's some trouble to be had Hoppy is THERE. Her lil squint plus her ears going back like that just makes that line all the better. I'm surprised with how much we saw CatNap ngl, I was not expecting to see him up in the tree all curled up like the cute loaf catto he is. I just thought we'd see his tail hanging down lol. Gotta love his glance at 3:31 omg. Yes I agree how dare they leave poor Crafty alone with CatNap, do they have any idea how awkward it is to try and have a conversation with the guy? For shame. We all know what happened after that tho.....CatNap came down, politely asked Crafty for a marshmallow, then proceeded to follow Kickin and Hoppy to Bubba's place. Bubba looks SO adorable in his lil doctor outfit wth. I see he had to take a bit of a blood sample from Picky there judging by the bandaid on her arm awe. I'm sure it didn't hurt NEARLY as much as working out with Hoppy and Kickin will tho lol. Haha ofc she has no idea what having high cholesterol means, she didn't even know what asthma was. And there's Bubba showing off once again why he really is the "smart guy" he knows his stuff. See we all thought he was wearing the doctor outfit to be cute, oh nonono he actually has a P.H.D hanging on the wall somewhere. Him just listing off all the fatal symptoms and diseases to Picky wow hah he doesn't hold back any news whether it be good or bad. Just try not to traumatize your patients lmao. Okay for some reason CatNap's face here 4:05 just had me laughing so much I really don't know why but it's amazing. That's the best "ooooop, what's in heeeere?" face I've seen in a while. What makes it even funnier to me is I like to think CatNap is just unironically really happy about a new toy he got or something and that's why he has this dopey smile most of the time. Bro is just vibing. Ooo I see that easter egg in the eye chart there, "don't wake up." Welp they woke CatNap up so it's too late he is now involved oh boy. Hahaha Picky realizing how she got this way, the frickin shook face was GOLD. "NO.....NOT FROM EATING GLORIOUS FOOD!!! THIS CANNOT BE!!!" Self control and exercise? For PICKY? Yeah this is gonna be a lot harder than he thinks. Kickin continuing his reputation of bursting into people's houses I see hah, least he didn't kick the door in this time. Speaking of heart attacks Bubba, you nearly had one there when the menace squad came in pfft. They were really pulling a CatNap and just snooping around the front door to ease drop wow. Leave it to Hoppy to slam Kickin with some good ol emotional damage, I'm sensing a theme here haha. She did it so fast and effortlessly too, no fake broken leg required dang now that's talent. Picky is immediately so nervous about them helping her with exercising, she knows what's she's in for man. Aweeee Bubba saying she has an eating disorder and her reaction....I mean she does but you could at least be less blunt about it Bubba. We've learned from the last episode that being too blunt about stuff is definitely a thing with him he needs to work on lol. Picky getting that lil nose boop from Hoppy was so PRECIOUS dude, I can't take how adorable they all aaaare. Oof big mistake there Kickin you do not issue a challenge to most competitive rabbit around, she's right that is a road you don't wanna go down. But only Kickin has enough gall and ofc results to back something like that up. Bro Picky's face I'm dead, she is just shook. 5:23 that face just radiates "dear sweet gosh Bubba please do not leave me with them, PLEASE." "Or any legs..." BAHA GOTTEM. No, no Hoppy. Do you even grasp how heavily you massacred my boi Kickin with that leg stunt? Neither he, nor any of us are gonna let that go trust. Don't worry Kickin you're good, Hoppy had this coming no you should not let it go lol at least for a while. Daaaw Bubba giving her that watch and some words of encouragement at the end there, that was super sweet. Even though he can come off as a know it all and be a bit too harsh with things at times, Bubba at heart truly cares about all of them and wants what's best. Him wanting to help DogDay feel all better in the last episode and how far he's willing to go to help Picky get into shape really show that. Even if uhm I think he definitely should've given letting Kickin and Hoppy of all people being in charge of her exercising another thought but anywho, moments like the end are just so good. Fan flippin tastic episode and this was just part one. These always make my day when they come out and I can't waaait for part two (but will ofc). I genuinely couldn't stop smiling watching this, the writing, animation, all the lil details when you look around. It still boggles my mind that you voice all of these guys yourself, the voice acting is PEAK dude. Every single one fits these guys to a T, like dare I say I prefer the voices they have in these over their official ones it's just that good. You are beyond talented man, take er easy you have so earned a nice long break. Like you can just FEEL the care and effort put into these every frame. Like I said before, this whole series is 100% something special. I wasn't even into the Smiling Critters whatsoever until I saw "Leg Day." I never didn't like them, I just never thought much of them y'know just "your typical cute becomes horror mascot for this horror game" and that was that. Then here comes people like you who took them and made them WAY beyond that, now I'm hooked on these versions of em and I couldn't be happier. Bravo, just bravo and once again cudos to anyone who bothered to read all this I'm sorry I just get so into things I really like lol.

In 3:43 did anyone see that evolution thing and at the end was Huggy?

Hoppy: YES go long!! Kicken: you know I’m supposed to say that right? I’ve got the frisbee.

3:37 Humans evolving into Huggy Wuggy is such a good joke. I love it!

"Picky, what did you eat?" "Oh, some Roast beef, some chicken, a pizza..." "No picky. This morning." "Some roast beef, some chicken, a pizza..." "

It is always so furstrating to find something awesome and know you have to wait so long for more. I really hope this channel gets more attention...89,8K subscribers is way too small for this production quality. Anyway, I really liked this one, too and catnap gives me the scariest chills because I can't tell what is going on in his head. The weirdest thing is that as long as he is not showing this full open mouth smile (4:04 and 4:09) I think everything is okay, because at the one scene he fully "smiled" in the background outside the window I got the contrary feeling he is not happy what he is seeing/hearing. (4:25) Even if it might seem correct in this context when Bubba has some good ideas to help Picky, Catnap might already assume this will not go well. Btw I miss dogday in this one. He must be still ill.

A desi-who huh? 0:48 hoppy is amazing😂

I can only assume this is gonna end with catnap being the referee for a full on fight between kicken and hoppy over picky’s diet

Ah my favorite thing to pack for a picnic A S T H MA

PickyPiggy: ihad three eggs, two pancakes and a waffle some toast, burrito some bacon, finished a burger, some barbecue ribs with a side of mac and cheese a PB and J;my favorite a couple of cookies just for luck and I topped it all off with a light milkshake topped with ice cream and I say, who the hell eats all that xd

2:14 bro said bacon-

1:53 craftycorn is very soft and shy,she is cute girl,i like her and voice is very soft❤❤

5:20 I love that callback Xdxd

Ayyyy, me encanta tu estilo!!! Son tan lindos todos, tanto en diseño como en sus voces! Les queda muy bien~ Todo esto hecho por una sola persona es de admirar, y obviamente toma su debido tiempo, así que no hay de otra que esperar a la continuación sin desesperarnos, pues sabremos que lo que nos des será con calidad! Muchas gracias por compartir tu talento~ Espero la gente ya no esté de insistente y comprenda el trabajo detrás de esto!!! Muchas gracias!!! ❤

Very smiling critters don't see catnap

Amazing animation i love this episode for picky piggy (also catnap is watching the whole thing behind a window)

That was a good part of episode 3A. Now we need a 3B

i love how catnap joins the picnic by justbeing in the tree so he wont be bothered but he's still with his friends... its so cute

I love this so much 😭 all the details (like the subtitles having little extra notes/dialogue, catnap constantly watching, kickin and hoppy in the window of the door, etc.) Can’t wait for part 2!! :3
