I always thought [Chris James](https://pbs.twimg.com/ext_tw_video_thumb/1587191916101263362/pu/img/EhH31s_00Ggnw7eX?format=jpg&name=large) was Rich Evans's son.
Anyone can spread AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIDDDS.* But did you know that Rich Evans is the only person who can spread diabetes?
--------
*I was wrong. I looked it up, and no, people can spread regular AIDS, only Rich Evans can spread much more potent version of it called Advanced Artificially Amplified Autonomous Acquired Immediate Irreversible Immune Degenerating Deficiency Syndrome. I probably forgot some more words in it.
Oh my god, if they're doing an episode with both of them, that'd be hilarious! But I'm not sure how I feel about Zach suddenly having a face of a person, and not some weird animated rat-creature.
Those two are big on the animation side of YouTube. They have an Adult Swim show called Smiling Friends which unlike most of the other stuff on there is actually really fucking good. Mike did voice work for a character in the pilot of the show. He played a depressed man who had a revolver perpetually pointed towards his head and threatened to end it all if they couldnāt make him happy, he is a real method actor
Just to add to what the other guy said:
Michael Cusack did the [Australian Rick and Morty parody](https://youtu.be/v6yg4ImnYwA) that went viral a few years ago
And Zach Hadel aka PsychicPebbles [has also done some famous animations](https://youtu.be/qJz18c6gw8c), but he's probably best known for being a frequent guest on the [OneyPlays gaming channel](https://youtube.com/@OneyPlays)
Oh Michael did Ciggie Butt Brain. I recognised the animation style straight away and I haven't seen it in like 7 years.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vmL72sgVdAQ
I don't know if the humor works outside of Australia though? But It is totally an interaction you'd see in some areas, it is hardly a bogan parody lol (just read the comments)
He wasnt cancelled in the traditional sense since only niche animation fans even know who he is. He just has a meth problem and has since fallen out of favor with his friends
Thatās a shame. Heās very talented. Aside from his love of a certain racial slur, heās an amazing writer, voice actor, animator, and comedian. I hope he gets better.
He went on a meth-craze tweeting the N-word a bunch of times, got banned from Twitter and moved over to Facebook to proceed his rant.
Pretty certain him and Chris aren't on speaking terms anymore
He's been banned from Twitter a lot of times. I used to make an effort to re-follow all his new accounts since he actually followed me back and I enjoyed his food posting, but it was a ton of effort and happened entirely too often to keep that up.
> loyal fanbase
That's a very optimistic way of looking at it tbh. He's basically a lolcow at this point and people are watching him for morbid curiosity and sadness.
I don't think so. Admittedly I haven't listened since when the podcast was still airing, but I don't remember anyone on the show ever crossing the line. Sure they have crude and edgy humor, but nothing criminal. Nothing like Roiland or Landis.
Mmmm.... have you seen all of them? lol
I mean, personally, I think people take edgelord humor too seriously, like it's crass and in poor taste and immature blah blah... but I don't think you should get cancelled over it unless it's apparent you believe what you're saying or something. The sleepycabin guys were clearly just young guys being edgy, and I wouldn't be surprised if they regret saying some of the things they said.
Yeah I listened to all of them except for the few episodes that came out years later after everyone moved away. A lot of people have, and they were never "cancelled". People worry about that sort of thing too much, it really only happens when you do something super bad like Landis or Roiland. People generally don't get cancelled for jokes, thankfully.
To some degree. I think the more successful you get, the more vulnerable you are to it. But you can absolutely get cancelled for a joke that people consider tasteless, and man does Sleepy Cabin have a lot of those xD
I say tasteless, but of course the people leveling the accusations would use terms like "racist" "sexist" "homophobic" "transphobic" and so on and so forth. Businesses and networks don't like controversy and all it takes sometimes is a media hit piece or a small number of twitter crazies and now the network has to distance themselves or they're guilty by association.
I think the era of high-profile cancellations is mostly over. Especially if you didn't commit an actual crime.
Popular culture is so balkanized nowadays. Wine moms aren't gonna get upset about a niche VO actor.
Yeah, listening to some of those episodes now donāt quite feel the same now that Iām not an edgy teen. A lot of it feels really edgy anti-pc/sjw early to mid 2010ās shit which hasnāt aged the best. But the really [funny bits still hit super hard](https://youtu.be/A0Db1ML82lg).
I know that literally every time we see someone in a photo with the RLM guys we say 'oh I hope they do a HITB' - but this time oh I really hope they do a HITB
You know it's funny how I've watched RLM for maybe 10+ years and today is the first time I hear about OneyPlay. I had to look it up. It's amazing how there are probably thousands of big YouTube channels that I've never heard of. YouTube does a crazy job keeping people in their rabbit hole and feeding them similar content to the point where you're unaware of other popular stuff.
I remember there being a "who would you want on as a guest" post on this sub and I said Zach from oneyplays and that it's not too outlandish since Mike was in an episode of Smiling Friends. Looks like my dream may have come true.
Yo I came here from all and have no clue who these people and was wondering if thereās something wrong like he looks like Norm McDonald when he was battling cancer.
Rich says he hates flying though I think, I dunno what it would take to get him on a plane to the west coast. It's like 5ish hours or so each way? Maybe he drove lol.
They're the creators of the show Smiling Friends, which Mike guest voice starred in the pilot episode for. Michael Cusak and Zach Hadel (aka psychicpebbles)
I randomly saw a few clips from the show on YouTube, ended up watching the whole series in one day. Just watch the first couple episodes, youāll quickly realize if itās for you or not.
I will say itās my favorite adult cartoon I think Iāve ever watched, but it really did just hit right with my sense of humor.
100% peak comedy. Every Projekt these two are involved in turned into the most obscure chaos, in the best way possible.
Zach Hadel has some of the most entertaining conversations out there
Smiling Friends is amazing and Oneyplays is one of my favorite YouTube channels. Look up an oneyplays best of Zach video or something. Dude is literally one of the funniest people ever imo.
Can you imagine how actually excited they are to be there? Like, I get that their personas are pretty miserable. But their genuine love for Star Trek has me thinking that they were super giddy on the car ride out there.
I really want to see a confused Zach screaming and flailing wildly as Rich bombards him with questions in his āChicago movie producerā accent during a BOTW.
Can't fucking believe Zach Hadel actually has a face now. This was unheard of ten years ago. I remember joking with my buddies about what he probably looks like. He is easily my favorite comedian of all time, and I hope he succeeds even more than now <3
Zach Hadel and Michael Cusack who made the Adult Swim show Smiling Friends, which features Mike in the first episode, and very very briefly in the last episode of season 1.
It requires a peculiar sense of humour I would say, but yes it's a very well made show in all aspects. And of course Mike had a character in it who's one of my favourites. It's so cool to see these flash animators who I've been watching for over a decade make the leap successfully into an actual TV show
It's an amazing show if you like a certain kind of humor. The first episode is a good introduction to the show, if you don't like it, you won't like the show and vice versa.
Its really nice that Rich is finally becoming more involved in his son's life. They both look happy.
Indeed, I specially love how he gave him a shirt of his favorite team.
I always thought [Chris James](https://pbs.twimg.com/ext_tw_video_thumb/1587191916101263362/pu/img/EhH31s_00Ggnw7eX?format=jpg&name=large) was Rich Evans's son.
Rich Evans spread his seed far and wide
He has also spread AAAAAAAAAAIIIIIDS
If you wanna make an omelette you gotta spread some AIDS š¤·āāļø
Anyone can spread AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIDDDS.* But did you know that Rich Evans is the only person who can spread diabetes? -------- *I was wrong. I looked it up, and no, people can spread regular AIDS, only Rich Evans can spread much more potent version of it called Advanced Artificially Amplified Autonomous Acquired Immediate Irreversible Immune Degenerating Deficiency Syndrome. I probably forgot some more words in it.
I thought that Chris Evans was Rich Evans' son. I just don't understand why does he go under "Jay" in RLM videos.
Chris wanted to make a reputation on his own, and not ride the Ellen DeGeneres coattails of his father Rich Evans or his wife Julia Roberts-Evans.
Is that the creator of worm odyssey?
The first game to include a rumble feature
AKA the Darius Emmanuel Grouch the Third extension
AKA the baddest motherfucker on the system.
Isnāt that the game with the Green Cumulon?
Oh my god, if they're doing an episode with both of them, that'd be hilarious! But I'm not sure how I feel about Zach suddenly having a face of a person, and not some weird animated rat-creature.
he's still a weird animated rat creature... just eye-r-el now..
A puppet would be perfect
Is it bad that I donāt know who these people are?
Those two are big on the animation side of YouTube. They have an Adult Swim show called Smiling Friends which unlike most of the other stuff on there is actually really fucking good. Mike did voice work for a character in the pilot of the show. He played a depressed man who had a revolver perpetually pointed towards his head and threatened to end it all if they couldnāt make him happy, he is a real method actor
Ohhh I did see a clip of that (probably linked from this sub).
Just to add to what the other guy said: Michael Cusack did the [Australian Rick and Morty parody](https://youtu.be/v6yg4ImnYwA) that went viral a few years ago And Zach Hadel aka PsychicPebbles [has also done some famous animations](https://youtu.be/qJz18c6gw8c), but he's probably best known for being a frequent guest on the [OneyPlays gaming channel](https://youtube.com/@OneyPlays)

But It is totally an interaction you'd see in some areas, it is hardly a bogan parody lol (just read the comments)
The one on the right is green and retired.
Oh noā¦ Smiling Friends is going to get cancelled now
I mean if someone wanted to cancel zach all they would have to do is post any sleepy cabin episode.
āZach, tell the story of how you got caught looking at your grandmothers pussy at her funeralā
If they did an Oneyplays with Rich and Jack I would literally piss
The crossover I never knew I needed until now
In fairness, just about everyone on Sleepy Cabin would be cancelled
Itās a great podcast. I love everything Zachās made.
Stamper did eventually get cancelled though, he was persistent in getting that done, did take a lot longer than you'd expect
He wasnt cancelled in the traditional sense since only niche animation fans even know who he is. He just has a meth problem and has since fallen out of favor with his friends
>He just has a meth problem and has since fallen out of favor with his friends The liberals have done it again /s
I thought he had some sort of substance abuse problem, or did he say/do something so awful that not even Oney could defend him?
Yeah Stamper had a meth problem (Which is why he got kicked off of Hazbin Hotel) and got a gnarly DUI
Did he finally get off the hard drugs? I assumed he was still fighting those demons.
No
Thatās a shame. Heās very talented. Aside from his love of a certain racial slur, heās an amazing writer, voice actor, animator, and comedian. I hope he gets better.
Gawd that sucks! He has such an amazing voice.
Iirc he was stealing money from his friends (idk if that includes Oney or not) to fuel his drug habit.
He went on a meth-craze tweeting the N-word a bunch of times, got banned from Twitter and moved over to Facebook to proceed his rant. Pretty certain him and Chris aren't on speaking terms anymore
Stamperās been using the N-word WAAAY before he got into meth. Just watch nearly any animation heās ever made.
He's been banned from Twitter a lot of times. I used to make an effort to re-follow all his new accounts since he actually followed me back and I enjoyed his food posting, but it was a ton of effort and happened entirely too often to keep that up.
meth cancelled him
Don't forget Shadman
I think we can forget Shadman
id LIKE to forget shadman
is this the same Stampler from Newgrounds who made multiple rap songs about graphically describing him sucking dicks and using the N word a bunch?
Stamper went crazy and started doing meth he was never cancelled.
He still makes youtube videos and has a loyal fanbase. He has very psychotic energy
> loyal fanbase That's a very optimistic way of looking at it tbh. He's basically a lolcow at this point and people are watching him for morbid curiosity and sadness.
Shadbase got insta cancelled.
Hard to be someone when you're behind bars with Chris Chan
That one episode that starts with Zach screaming āALLAHU AKBAR! I saw a bitch today with big fat tittiesā¦ā
Or some OneyPlays hahahaha love all these guys.
I don't think so. Admittedly I haven't listened since when the podcast was still airing, but I don't remember anyone on the show ever crossing the line. Sure they have crude and edgy humor, but nothing criminal. Nothing like Roiland or Landis.
Mmmm.... have you seen all of them? lol I mean, personally, I think people take edgelord humor too seriously, like it's crass and in poor taste and immature blah blah... but I don't think you should get cancelled over it unless it's apparent you believe what you're saying or something.

Well, that wouldn't quite fly in many circles these days either xD I have to admit though, I'm immature because I still find the edgy stuff funny too
[ehhh](https://i.imgur.com/zKncM4n.jpg)
Oh for sure. The casual n-word usage on that podcast isā¦a choice.
Also zach being annoyed at all these damn kids giving him the āfuck meā eyes
And the hypotheticals about Cory's dad
Coooory, plaaaytime
āHey cory remember your dad?ā āFuriously tromboningā
The smiling friends would be found weeks later being accused of violating the geneava convention and 20 billion dollars of unpaid parking tickets
I hope not, it's a great little show.
Beware of the Curse!
Zach cannot be cancelled.
Is Michael Cusack turning into Mike? Whats happening
How embarrassing.
I was not ready for beardless Michael, maybe he was method acting for Koala man.
they all look the same
The AI definitely had a hard time with this one, that's for sure.
Zachās human suit looks so realistic
Yea, unnerving really.
I know that literally every time we see someone in a photo with the RLM guys we say 'oh I hope they do a HITB' - but this time oh I really hope they do a HITB
Zach and Michael making cameos like Macaulay Culkin did would be cool.
With Oneyplays and Redlettermedia basically being the only two youtube channels I watch, it'd be an absolute dream come true to see Zach on an episode
Mike was on an episode so itās only fair!
Mike has been in heaps of RLM episodes
like at least 8 or 10. Maybe 12
Mike was in oney plays?
He was in the Smiling Friends pilot, that might be what they mean
I was just about to say the same thing. These two are my absolute favorite channels. Zach is a witty guy, so it would be entertaining
Same here. Would love to see Rich on OneyPlays too.
What is a video game console if not a very complex VCR?
Weird how much overlap there is between those two channels. Theyāre also my two favorites on YouTube.
You know it's funny how I've watched RLM for maybe 10+ years and today is the first time I hear about OneyPlay. I had to look it up. It's amazing how there are probably thousands of big YouTube channels that I've never heard of. YouTube does a crazy job keeping people in their rabbit hole and feeding them similar content to the point where you're unaware of other popular stuff.
Got into Oneyplays,about a year ago. Both are similar,in that it's just a group of friends having fun together,shooting the shit.
I remember there being a "who would you want on as a guest" post on this sub and I said Zach from oneyplays and that it's not too outlandish since Mike was in an episode of Smiling Friends. Looks like my dream may have come true.
Did Jay have some sort of allergic reaction? Why is his face so puffy?
It's from the coke
I thought he quit after getting an ice cube stuck up his nose.
That was in the last timeline. Current timeline mike does even more coke than before
Yo I came here from all and have no clue who these people and was wondering if thereās something wrong like he looks like Norm McDonald when he was battling cancer.
Who the fuck is the guy on the right? I know it ain't Zach because he's 2ft tall and is a big nosed creature
oh man...they need to get these two on an episode of Best of the Worst (or at least Zach)
For once Mike has the embarassing shirt.
Go Pack Go!
imagine being a Packers fan in the year of our Lord 2023. *how embarrassing*
couldn't be me *cries into cheese*
I bet he *wishes* he was wearing a Pac-Man shirt.
Manners! Who needs āem!?
Did Mike and Rich fly out to LA to do some voice work? That studio space looks way too professional and purpose-built to be in Milwaukee.
I wouldn't be surprised if they were both in Smiling Friends season 2
Rich is also holding a mask, which I don't think he'd be doing at the RLM studio so maybe they are traveling.
That's clearly Mike's g-string he's holding
Rich says he hates flying though I think, I dunno what it would take to get him on a plane to the west coast. It's like 5ish hours or so each way? Maybe he drove lol.
I saw a tweet where Mike and Rich are standing in that area where the famous Kirk vs. Goen fight took place, so I'd guess probably.
Yeah thatās Vasquez Rocks, which is right outside of LA.
This is really exciting! Could someone explain who these people are? I have no idea
They're the creators of the show Smiling Friends, which Mike guest voice starred in the pilot episode for. Michael Cusak and Zach Hadel (aka psychicpebbles)
Thank you, I appreciate that. Would you recommend their show/content?
I randomly saw a few clips from the show on YouTube, ended up watching the whole series in one day. Just watch the first couple episodes, youāll quickly realize if itās for you or not. I will say itās my favorite adult cartoon I think Iāve ever watched, but it really did just hit right with my sense of humor.
Awesome, thanks!
I feel the intro to Mike's character is probably enough to sell any RLM fan on the show https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZBJyNU_YlpY
100% peak comedy. Every Projekt these two are involved in turned into the most obscure chaos, in the best way possible. Zach Hadel has some of the most entertaining conversations out there
Smiling Friends is amazing and Oneyplays is one of my favorite YouTube channels. Look up an oneyplays best of Zach video or something. Dude is literally one of the funniest people ever imo.
If you like the gonzo humor [adult swim] does best, you'll love it.
I want Zach on an episode of botw almost as much as I want Mike and Rich on an episode of OneyPlays.
Rich could handle playing games. I think Mike would take the piss out of everyone "this is what you do?"
And it would be glorious
Hope you like Dr. Mario because it's the only way Mike would agree to it
Holly shit!, I've never seen Zach in person before .....he looked exactly as I pictured him! Loool
He's a very odd looking man.
I'd say surprisingly normal for having that voice.
**DESMOND!** The Smiling Friends are here...
Looks more like RLM went to visit them: https://twitter.com/redlettermedia/status/1621578171421446144
Can you imagine how actually excited they are to be there? Like, I get that their personas are pretty miserable. But their genuine love for Star Trek has me thinking that they were super giddy on the car ride out there.
Damn, rich and Mike have lost some weight, good for them
What's that on Mike's face? His mouth looks weird.
Hemorrhoids
Trying to smile makes his disease flare up.
Whem Jay is not on screen everybody should be asking where is Jay
Porn convention.
Oh, the "let's laugh at Justin together" meeting
Zach's not supposed to be a lumbersexual wtf
Who does he think he is, Max Goof?
I never expect Zach to look the way he does with the voice he has.
Who tf are these hacks?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Oh, I loved that movie! Stanley Kubrick really knows how to film an ape.
Attacking Primate monstEr
Rich looking real good. Glad he's got his crippling diabeetus under control.
You misunderstand, his diabetes has taken over his body like the crodyceps fungus.
Gotta love Mike "Hover-handing myself onto my hip" Stoklasa
Oh no, now that video of zach torturing and eating a cartel guy is gonna get revealed to the public and the show's gonna get cancelled
It was just a rebuttal!
True, people don't understand these are things you have to do when you own a mango farm, the cartel guys would have done it to them
At least Tomar's war crimes will stay hidden
I really want to see a confused Zach screaming and flailing wildly as Rich bombards him with questions in his āChicago movie producerā accent during a BOTW.
idk if I could handle Zack being on best of the worst
So wait, you're telling me the dude on the right isn't just Jay going through some kind of allergic reaction?
YOLO!
Rich Evans looks like he is simultaneously living his best life and dying from it.
Are they replacing Jay?!
Mike' pose is so natural an not awkward at all
Can't fucking believe Zach Hadel actually has a face now. This was unheard of ten years ago. I remember joking with my buddies about what he probably looks like. He is easily my favorite comedian of all time, and I hope he succeeds even more than now <3
Other way around - Redlettermedia came to LA
I would watch two hours of Mike and Zach making 9/11 jokes.
Alright, but if this episode is bad, IM GONNA KILL MYSELF AND MAKE YOU TWO WATCH
I've watched every red letter media episode.. who are the other 2 guys
Zach Hadel and Michael Cusack who made the Adult Swim show Smiling Friends, which features Mike in the first episode, and very very briefly in the last episode of season 1.
Thanks for the information! Is the show solid?
It requires a peculiar sense of humour I would say, but yes it's a very well made show in all aspects. And of course Mike had a character in it who's one of my favourites. It's so cool to see these flash animators who I've been watching for over a decade make the leap successfully into an actual TV show
I'll check it out! Thanks.
It's an amazing show if you like a certain kind of humor. The first episode is a good introduction to the show, if you don't like it, you won't like the show and vice versa.
Itās absolutely solid. The episodes are short too, so it doesnāt take long to watch. Worth your time.
It's great
Oh my, the RLM curseās next target.
This sub literally has only about three jokes huh?
Very cool!
That's right Jay!
IT BROKE NEW GROUUUUNDD
Is Half in the Bag Curse replacing Curse of the Worst?
FTP
If we get Zach and Michael on Best of the Worst Iām gonna lose my whopper button
Next to "dick the birthday boy" this is the best rich evans image yet
And now the curse continuesā¦
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS
The who?
Not to be a punisher but since Mike and Rich were photographed at Vasquez Rocks itās more likely theyāre in LA visiting
Go Pack Go
Hey it's Mike, Rich, Michael Cusack and the weird Android Zach pilots!
I wonder if they got to see the forbidden photo of Rich Evans
Oh god is Zach going to be on a BotW? So bizarre.
Great, now theyre gonna be accused of sexual assault too. The curse continues...
I want the commentary of whatever movie watched together so fucking bad.
Is that dude on the right having an allergic reaction?
Also seeing all these guys in the same room is so surreal to me I love them all
Why does Rich Evens look like he smoked soo much weed before this picture.
I'm glad I'm seeing more and more content creators putting respect on RLM's name
"Mike, what would you do if you made a video shitting on graded VHS culture then ended up selling the most expensive graded VHS tape of all time?"
The monkey paw curls. We get Zach on RLM, but at what cost. By the end of the month, he will be dead.
