Renaissance Men
are coming in town.
Oh, who are they?
Who's the Renaissance Men?
Um... oh, it just says here
that the Renaissance Men
- are coming in town, - and by the looks of it,
it's, like, super soon.
It's, like, really soon.
- Who are - the Renaissance Men?
- I don't know - who they are.
- Like - the Renaissance fair?
- Dude, I'm just telling... - Look, I've just telling you
- what I'm reading here, man. - That's all I know.
- You know as much as I know. - I'm just reading off this thing.
It says the Renaissance Men
are coming in town really soon.
Okay.
- I just don't know - what that means.
I don't know what that is.
[ Clang ]
[ Whirring, beeping continues ]
I think it's that.
Ah. Well, well, well.
The Smiling Friends.
We meet at last.
Hi. Who are you guys?
- I am Grim, - and this is Gnarly.
We're the Frowning Friends.
And we just moved in yesterday.
- How peculiar. - [ Chuckles ]
- Well, - nice to meet you.
So what exactly
do you guys do?
- [ Mockingly ] So what - do you guys even do?
- [ Normal voice ] - Shut up, man.
Good one, Gnarly.
I love you.
And I love you, Grim.
Let's leave these
smiling fools to it.
[ Grim and Graham laugh evilly ]
[ Faint evil laughter ]
- That's not even - a real laugh.
Don't worry, Charlie.
- I'm sure The Boss will know - what to do about this.
[ Up-tempo music plays ]
Fuck. Fuck!
Excuse me, Mr. Boss.
- Wait, wait, wait, wait, - wait, wait. One sec, one sec.
God damn it!
Okay, go. What's up?
- We just wanted to bring - to your attention
- that a new company - moved in across the street
called the Frowning Friends,
and we just wanted...
Frowning... Friends?
Yeah.
Should we be worried?
No, don't fret, young Pim.
It's just a little bit
of friendly competition.
- Okay, great. Well, then there's - no time to waste, Charlie.
Let's go out there
and make people smile!
- Oh, like, I did not think - he was gonna do that.
- That's scared me. That actually - scared me a little bit.
- Anyways, I'll see you later, - man.
[ Suspenseful music plays ]
- Pim, why can't we - just wait for jobs
- to come into the office, - like we normally do?
- Come on, Charlie. - Now that we've got competition,
- we can't afford to sit around - in the break room all day.
- We've got to get out there - and get our hands dirty.
- I'll knock - your head off, man.
I'll knock your head
you ever insult me again.
off and roll on it if
What about this guy?
Hello, sir.
Why the long face?
Oh, yeah, I'm kind of,
like, friggin' pissed off, man.
- I always wanted to be - something of an artist, man.
[ Rapping indistinctly ]
But no one wants to,
you know,
listen
to my friggin', um...
my shit and stuff, man.
- And it makes me angry, - man.
- I don't mind it. You just need - to keep working hard on it,
- and you'll definitely - find an audience.
Practice makes perfect.
Hey, I just remembered.
You two little critters told me
that it would be easier
if I just quit making music
and gave the freak up
and stuff, man.
No, we've never spoken
to you, sir.
- Yeah, no, I've met you two, man. - I friggin' met you two.
- You're Grim, and - you're Gnarly and stuff, man.
Oh.
- All right, look, - I see what's going on.
- Now, look, those are just - two guys who look like us.
- Yeah, they just - look like us.
Man, shut up, man.
- You're trying to trick me, - man.
- Put smoke into - my friggin' head and shit, man.
Not at all, man.
- Man, I don't know what - to think no more, man!
- Okay, okay. - Let's de-escalate.
- No one's messing - with your head.
Get out of me head!
- Nobody's messing - with your head, man.
Nobody's messing with...
Hello, Mr. Man.
- We were just wondering - if you needed cheering up today.
- Well, the shape of my head - causes me
constant mental anguish.
Does it sound like
I need cheering up?
Yeah, a little bit.
In fact, didn't you two
just come by and tell me
- I should feel bad - about my disgusting head shape
- and shouldn't do anything - to address it?
- God damn it, man. - They've gotten everyone.
No, sir, that wasn't us.
- Your head is stunning, - by the way.
- No, I've definitely - seen you two before.
- You're... You're trying - to mess with me.
Get out of my head.
Get out of my head!
- Get out of my head, man! - Get out of my head, man!
- Nobody's messing - with your head.
[ Indistinct arguing ]
- Look, Pim, I get - what's going on here.
- They're the Bizarro versions - of us. That's fine.
- But what's their end game? - What's the point of this?
- It's just - pissing me off now.
Let's try one more, Charlie.
What about that guy?
Boo-hoo! Boo-hoo-hoo!
Hey, there, little guy.
What's got you upset?
Oh, boo-hoo.
- It's just that the world - is so damn rotten.
- There's so much hate - and evil.
3D Squeldon just doesn't see
a point in living anymore.
What's the point?
Oh, boo-hoo-hoo!
Is there anything that does make
you feel better, 3D Squeldon?
3D Squeldon
likes balloons.
- Well, there you go. - Balloon maker, right there.
- Why don't you just - get your license?
- I'm sure a balloon profession - will put
- a big old smile - on your face.
Yeah, it kind of does.
Ah, yes, but think about
how much time and energy
- it would take to become - a balloon salesman.
- And it doesn't matter - because you will die one day.
- Oh, no, but think about - how good it'd feel
- once you finally did - get the license.
- Gnarly: But did you know - that all of Earth's helium
- is running out and will be - completely depleted
within 15 to 20 years?
Is that actually true?
[ Laughs evilly ]
We only tell the truth,
even when it hurts.
Any time you feel like
- changing your life - for the better,
give us a call, and we'll put
a frown on that face.
Okay,
- Charlie, I don't... - I don't think these guys
- want friendly competition - with us at all.
- Dude, I just looked at - the helium thing
- he was talking about. - That's true.
That's, like, 100%.
Everything he said was true.
It's all gonna be gone.
- All right, guys. - Things are looking pretty bleak.
I'm down $2.4 billion
- since this new company - moved in across the street.
Any ideas?
Don't worry, Mr. M.
- I had a similar problem - when I acquired Wrigley's gum.
You should
just buy more stocks.
- Well, when - the American public discovered
I'd been filling my peanuts up
with toxic pesticides,
- I decided to go on - "The Dick Cavett Show"
- and do - a little peanut jig.
Yes, that's what you need,
is a peanut jig of your own.
Yes, a peanut jig
of your own. Yes.
- Well, I don't know what - that peanut or that fellow
- over there are saying, - but I believe you should try
- to win back - the marketplace
- with a more competitive - business model.
- Oh, wow, - What a great idea!
Not!
- Why did you invite us here - in the first place
if you won't listen
to our advice?
- None of you are any help. - Just get out.
Get out now! Bah!
Alan: Mr. Boss?
You all right?
Yeah, yeah,
I'm fine, Alan.
Just having fun.
- Why don't you - go find a piece of cheese
or something, man?
[ Sighs ]
I can't think with
all this ruckus around me.
I just need to go to my thinking
room for a little while.
Frowning Friends, of course.
Fuck, it's genius.
- Why didn't I think - of that?
- [ Distorted voice ] - Look at yourself. Weak.
Looter.
You deserve nothing.
Oh! Oh!
You know what you must do.
I-I can't.
[ Screaming ]
You must!
[ Screaming ]
I really can't.
It's not right.
[ Screaming ]
You must!!
Perhaps you're right.
Perhaps I should do what I
should have done from the start.
- Yeah, it came out... - Like I said,
- it came out, like, - green and chunky.
- I've never seen it - like that before.
- Yeah, like I said, - I'm not a doctor,
- so you should probably talk - to someone who understands
that stuff more.
- Hey, what's with - all the people?
- Grim: And that is - why you shouldn't try
- to better your life... - because you might fail.
So it's easier to frown.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Pim: That's not true!
- Help, help! That rotten pink man - is trying to bully
- a mentally ill man - like myself.
Guards, seize them.
Alan? Glep?
They have a better 401(k).
Sorry.
But I just have to note
- that it was only Pim - that yelled something.
- I didn't say anything. - Oh!
Now witness the brutal
cruelties of reality.
[ Screaming ]
Don't look, Charlie.
- Is this really supposed - to be...
- I mean, I've seen way worse - stuff than this on the Internet.
I don't...
[ Breathing heavily ]
My brothers, now the next step
of our plan shall commence.
You must all go and spread
the word of frowning.
- Pretty soon, - everyone will embrace sadness,
- and there'll be no such thing - as smiling.
[ Breathing rapidly ]
And once that's done,
we can finally eradicate
- all the Puerto Ricans - on the planet.
Together: Yeah!
Man: Huh? Huh?
I mean make everyone
on the planet frown.
[ Crowd mumbling ]
Together: Yeah!
Nothing matters because
we're all gonna die someday!
Hey!
- No, no, no. - Please don't kill me. Please.
- I don't want to die. - Please don't kill me!
Please don't!
[ Crying ]
Relax, man.
- I was just gonna shoot you - in the head and kill you.
- Hey, wait, wait, wait, wait, - wait, wait a minute, man.
They don't think
nothing matters at all, man.
He was scared to die
and stuff, man.
- What the fuck? - Man, that makes me angry, man.
3D Squeldon hates lies!
Boo-hoo!
- I actually wanted - to kill the Puerto Ricans.
[ Crying ]
Riiight.
Kinda cringe.
- Do we still have - to detain you?
Probably not, man. I think
the guy pissed in his pants.
[ Crying ]
Hey, hey, hey.
Don't cry.
- You should be happy - that your idea was so good
that it drove me bonkers
with jealousy.
That's kind of cool, huh?
Oh!
Wow. Smiling feels good.
Ooh! Ooh!
Ooh-hoo-hoo!
- Ooh-hoo-hoo! - Ooh!
♪ Ooh-ooh-ooh ♪
- This is - a beautiful ending.
[ Humming ]
[ Fanfare plays ]
Fire!
Run!
Charlie, what was that?
What just happened?
- Oh, the Renaissance Men - came into town finally.
- I literally told you - at the beginning
- the Renaissance Men - were coming into town.
And you didn't believe me.
- You knew - they were gonna come
- and kill Grim and Gnarly - with arrows and stuff?
- No, no. I didn't know - that was gonna happen.
- Who are the Renaissance Men? - I don't know what that means,
'cause that's not Renaissance.
- But they didn't - look like Renaissance... men.
- [ Stammers ] - I literally... I don't know.
- That's, like, - a completely different era.
- I literally told you - the extent of my knowledge.
- I knew that the Renaissance Men - were coming into town.
That's it.
Okay.
Yeah. So...
