## OneyPlays

### Smiling Friends content directly inspired by OneyPlays

* **Worm in "Mr. Frog"**
	+ During an episode of *Worms Reloaded*, Zach jokingly promised through the in-game chat that he would "put a worm in episode 2", many fans found it humorous that he would end up sticking to his word a few years later, and so a very small worm can be seen in the episode as Charlie is marvelling at Mr. Frog's home zoo.
* **Shrimp's/Worm Odyssey**
	+ The episode "Shrimp's Odyssey" is a reference to *Worm Odyssey*, a non-existent SNES game made up by Zach while on OneyPlays, claiming that it was the first game with "rumble features"
* **Mouse Quest II**
	+ The fictional video game that Shrimp is obsessed with is based on a real game that was played on the series named "Rat Simulator"

### Smiling Friends content otherwise seen first on OneyPlays

* **Zach's mannerisms**
	+ "Iconic"
		- One of Zach's iconic mannerisms is describing things as "iconic", usually traits completely unrelated to the subject, this has made its way into Smiling Friends in multiple iconic instances.
			* The Mr. Frog Show being described as "iconic".
			* Charlie complimenting Shrimp's "Iconic shrimp glow".
			* Ketchup claiming that Simon S. Salty was taking one of his "iconic naps".
	+ "Wehehehe"
		- A phrase from the extremely obscure South Park parody animation named "LOUD JUNK" uploaded in April 2000. In which the characters Lardman, Stain, Fenny, and Dull all laugh using an identical audio clip of an unusual snickering laughter overlaid on top of each other. The phrase sees occasional reference on OneyPlays, especially from Zach.
			* In "Frowning Friends", DJ Spit shows Charlie and Pim a snippet of his latest song, in which he can be heard laughing in a very similar manner.
* **Forest Demon's Demise**
	+ The concept for the death of the Forest Demon was first mentioned during the *Luigi's Mansion 3* series. The initial idea was a short animated video of a mother returning home to a hungry table of children with a monkey, before tossing it onto the table for the children who would start viciously biting into it while ripping it apart. The idea would instead be reworked into Smiling Friends as the Forest Demon being ripped apart and eaten by a crowd.
* **The Arabian Riff/Snake Charmer Song/Smormu's Song**
	+ Before Smormu sang the melody in Smiling Friends, Zach brought up the "arabian riff" multiple times, once while implicating Lyle Rath as a snake charmer.
