* The titular ''WesternAnimation/SmilingFriends'' are clearly not human, considering that actual humans exist within this setting, but it's hard to tell what they ''are'' supposed to be. They have technicolor skin, with Charlie being yellow, Pim being pink, Alan being red, and Glep being green. With the exception of Pim, they have unusual body types, with Charlie having a semicircular head that curves into the rest of his body, Alan having abnormally long arms and legs, and Glep being incredibly small, having eyes on the sides of his head, and lips that jot out from the rest of his body. Pim also mentions that the little strand of hair on his head isn't hair at all, but rather, is an exposed nerve ending.
