After a two-episode second season return this past weekend,Michael Cusack's (YOLO: Crystal Fantasy) and Zach Hadel's (Hellbenders) Smiling Friends returns this weekend with an episode spotlighting a character who has quickly developed his own cult following among fans – Allan. In S02E03: "A Allan Adventure," Mr. Boss tasks Allan with a mission – replenishing the company's supply of paperclips. If you thought it was going to turn into simple task, think again…
Here's a look at Adult Swim UK's promo for this weekend's next episode, followed by the extended sneak preview for S02E03: "A Allan Adventure":
And here's a look back at the puppet versions of the episodes – individually and as a compilation – followed by a look back at our live April Fool's Day coverage of Adult Swim's special broadcast:

Meanwhile, let's check in with Cusack and Hadel…

Next up, we have a new take on what might be our favorite episode in a lineup of great episodes, S01E08: "Charlie Dies and Doesn't Come Back" (directed by Bob Dorian (uncredited) and written by David Hootselle) – with the following clip including the great moment when Charlie chops that demon in the throat (Charlie did warn him):

What's that you said? You thought you weren't going to get some really new adventures? Well, that's where you would be wrong – with Pim & Alan teaming up to help a video game character who Pim has been fanboying over for years. Meanwhile, Charlie finds himself handcuffed by the Smiling Friends policy of doing anything to make the client smile – and it gets bad. We won't spoil it other than to say that Charlie loses his nose, and Mr. Boss goes a little mad…
Here's a clip from the new episode that aired tonight:
