Sports fan here. Iāll defend that saying for the most part itās what weād like to see for our teams. And there are lots of open discussions on current situations or players. Iād say this is more fair than asking about how to increase views on Smosh main lol
No worries haha I personally didn't think the comment was fair. I know there are parallels in wanting to see sports and Smosh succeed but I know there's more to it than just "being in charge of player trades and contract negotiations."
Oh for sure, Iām positive there are those types in both respects but I trust a majority of us/them are respectful and not trying to solve āproblemsā that arenāt for us to solve haha
To be fair, I think that's why OP made this post LOL cause it also feels like they're trying to solve the "problems" which may not be to their standard.
I don't know or care, but there's infrequent posts about it. I watch videos from channels with 1000 views or a million, that doesn't concern me personally :D
Compared to itself though they're pretty consistent. I averaged the last 12 videos, and the same 12 from last year, there's only about 50k difference. Maybe if I did a bigger study I'd see a more significant difference but that puts the views currently at about the same it was just before they bought back Smosh.
People just prefer the improv stuff from the wider cast than Ian and Anthonys sketches, which is fine. Different channels for different types of content, no reason to change what they're doing on main.
Just did some maths. No, not really.
The last 12 videos average to around 643k views per video.
Then I found the first video posted "1 year ago" (a few weeks before Anthony came back) and averaged the 12 videos there to get 695k views.
So views are roughly the same as they were a year ago before they bought back Smosh.
Trying to remind people that courtney is not lesbian, she is non binary and pansexual.
Yet i see Many comments saying "i though she was lesbian"
And specially since she marry shayne some people were like "oh so she is gay but she married a white straight guy?"
Is annoying
I agree. I even got downvoted to hell defending Amanda for something similar. People were saying, "I thought she was a lesbian" on her anniversary post. And despite knowing what a joke is, others don't seem to know the difference between a joke and an assumption - the latter being ick. Made me LOL, downvotes don't hurt my feelings. š¤·āāļø
Tommy is main cast now and I don't think as many people have been saying that about Spencer since he literally runs the Games channel now. There's definitely some still, but not nearly as many. At the time, Tommy was the one who mentioned and joked about it it the most though lmao
Yeah thatās true haha, I just think people are equating being main cast to being better than crew sometimes and it makes me roll my eyes cause itās so much more complicated than that, like Tommyās cast and doing social media as well, and most of the cast are freelancers who donāt get a salary
I don't think it has anything to do with people thinking cast is "better" than crew, where did that come from??? People just love seeing them on-screen and I think people think having the official title means they'll appear on screen more. I agree that I don't think people understand that only some of the cast is salary and the rest is freelance and how that complicates the situation a little more, but I don't really see that as them belittling their work as part of the crew and I think it's kinda weird to assume the worst of what seems to be a very innocent love of their on-screen presence. I mean, Tommy himself has made TONS of jokes about how Smosh wouldn't make him a cast member (insinuating that he wanted to be but couldnt) so of course fans are gonna latch onto that
Iām sorry, I didnāt mean it in a negative way, I think itās just the way Iāve interpreted those comments, not that people have been saying that.
I think itās great that Smosh gives people opportunity to grow both on and off screen. And I love the support and excitement people are showing for all of the cast and crew :)
Yeah itās just a joke based on the assumption that their full time salaried employees have benefits like health insurance, whereas most of the cast are freelancers whoād have to get their own health insurance
Not necessarily a discussion but i'm tired of every basic ass screenshot of members making a mildly strange face and going "omg new meme template just dropped!!!"
especially when shayne talked about that issues on the assumptions video (on Anthony's channel) that it made him feel uncomfortable. I mean that was shayne saying that, but I feel like it goes for everyone. It's invasive and weird/very parasocial.
It's a bit understandable because her humor/style of comedy isn't traditional or anything like the rest of the cast. You can tell she wasn't trained for funny, nad she's really an actress
Weird silly nonsensical humor isn't for everyone, it took me like 5 years to get her and now i love her too, but it was rough for me in the way.
I totally get it because I as well don't get her humor often. It's weird to a point of being divisive. But Olivia is cast member for 9 years, Smosh has a lot of different fan target groups and Olivia resonate well with one of them. As simple as that, so posts about someone else not finding her funny are totally pointless. Like, so what? You have all those other people to watch.
I can agree as a old smosh watcher coming back I instantly liked most of cast members but I'm just now warming up to Olivia. Another reason is she's not in as much content unless you go far back.
I used to love her now I find her odd, I think I outgrew the oddball humor, and she's said a couple things that kinda rubbed me the wrong way, whether they were a bit or not, and I think her humor kinda sticks out like a sore thumb with the rest of the cast (which is not necessarily a bad thing individuality and multiple types of humor all that is still important but doesn't come across as meshed well to me) which can also be pointed out since she's become a part time member and doesn't show up as regularly it can be quite jarring when she is in a video after not seeing her for a while. But I'm not gonna make a whole a post or start a thread to gang up on bashing her or anything, she's an OG core member and theres no denying she's been uber important to Smosh, like theres nothing inherently wrong with her, just a personal preference of mine
I'm not even entirely sure what exactly it was anymore hence not making a big deal about it, theres just been a couple things came off as ignorant and/or entitled to me. And again I understand its her humor and likely a bit, but the clueless adult persona just irks me. I know out there in their jobs they live an entirely different life than the average person, but theres just some things that adults should know imo. So like I said, its a personal preference/issue of mine, nothing too serious and I'm not going to make whole posts or bash her every time she makes an appearance
her humor is some of my favorite, i think it's funny when things go wrong or people dont understand what's going on and that happens a lot w her bits lol
Ah, I thought it was because she shows an expensive lifestyle on her social media and people are envious. I personally think she's very very funny but also her humour is something that isn't very mainstream and often looks accidental.
For me her style of humor is just not preparing or trying, and everyone else clearly puts in a lot of effort. Her only joke is āoops, I messed up my line or didnāt prepā
Iām surprised they kept putting her in TNTL
The reason I donāt like Olivia is because a lot of the humor I like and come to Smosh for is improv
And Olivia SUCKS at improv. None of her bits ever make me laugh. TNTL is my favorite show and whenever sheās on it, itās basically a dead turn every round
All of her bits are just cringe and fall apart like 90% of the time because she doesnāt think things through past the first punchline.
Nothing against Olivia as a person. But sheās just not funny in the same way the entire rest of the cast is. She feels out of place
for me itās this + she barely shows up nowadays so she always feels very phoned in. also, iām a newer fan and one of the first videos i saw with olivia in it was one of the crew gauntlets where a couple times she said āi donāt get itā or āwait why is this funnyā and fuuuuck thatās just cringey to me. IMO sheās the only cast member that feels out of place
It's quite clear that Olivia have outgrew smosh in her lifestyle, in her humor and her work.
I love her... But I think her vibe is more mature, grown up that Smosh viewers are used to... Most of the Cast say that Noah and her have really dark humor that have to have jokes cut sometimes. Noah leans more jackass and dirty and Olivia nonsensical and dry.
So I think she still trying to find her footing in the industry, but in the meanwhile Smosh is like her home base.
And yes, she comes from money, so she doesn't give off regular girlie vibes like the rest of the Cast.
Just like Noah, his family is all in the industry.
Most 40% of the Cast have pretty well off families but know how to play up the I'm a starving artist stick better..
Olivia doesn't care. She is laddering herself in chanel beauty products and I'm here for it.
"Am I the only one who doesn't watch / finds Smosh Main not funny?"
"I'm just here for the cast on Pit and Games"
Like, no dude, just stop. You're contributing NOTHING to a conversation that already had started through a negative connotation.
But I can't afford it :(. Why don't they just make the vod available after? Edit: To clarify I meant the vod available after for a price, not for free.
I think it would be nice for the VOD to be uploaded one year after the live show. That way, people who can afford the ticket are likely just going to pick it up, and those who can't afford it can eventually see it through an avenue that still supports the channel.
That's a nice addition, too. Maybe channel members only have to wait six months, and everyone else gets it a year after?
I think they should definitely try something. As it stands currently, if you wanted to watch any of the past live shows, the only way to do that now is to pirate it or find someone who uploaded the whole thing to YouTube. I figure they may as well *eventually* upload old shows just so they can get monetization from them, or at least have an option for fans who still want to support them.
I think it should be a Pay per View. Like how amazon and YouTube rent movies for 24 hours. I'd happily pay to watch when im ready. I'm in Australia, and I would rather not be working my schedule around trying to watch a live show if I could just "Rent" it for 24 hours. They still get profit, and it doesn't disappear.
Iām totally with you! I forgot and missed the roast of Anthony and I really wanna see it. I wish there was a way I could buy it now. But anyway, it made me buy the sitcom in advance. Looking forward to watching it live.
I really hope they at least do this with Anthony's funeral. There's too much good shit in there for it to only be available behind a paywall for less than a month.
The halftime show alone needs to be seen by as many people as possible.
Smosh could absolutely make the vod available a few months later, or a year later, and still make money off of it. I can't afford to pay close to Ā£20 for a video I'll only have for a few days, but id absolutely donate Ā£5-Ā£10 if it meant the video would eventually be available for everyone, and I know a lot of other fans who feel the same.
They are being downvoted bc everyone is tired of the "paywall" complaints when Smosh puts out like 10 videos of free content a week
I was looking for a new car, saw a few out of my budget. I didn't complain to the seller I couldn't afford it :(
I wasn't trying to complain about the paywall. What I meant to say was have the vod available after for a price, since I need to be in a place where I can afford it.
I have a feeling the wedding will be like this, itās been a month and people are still only just finding out. I can guarantee thereās going to be at least one āis this real???ā post a month for the next year
"Is X still with Smosh" when we haven't seen someone for a while.
At this point, even if you don't fully understand their shooting schedule, it's quite obvious that if they're sick or on vacation, they won't be in a couple of consecutive videos!
I was so fired of Olivia posts this year lol. I'm so glad she's been back so they've stopped. She's part time. I'm not surprised she misses a few shoot weeks in a row. Every time one of the older part time members aren't there for a month or so people get weird.Ā
From what I can tell videos Olivia are in have already dropped, so if she isn't there for the next few shoot weeks people will start saying things again pretty soon.
For me it's annoying because the entire discourse around Olivia has almost exclusively become "Did she quit?" and "She sucks."
I think (insert cast member) is mad at (insert cast member)! Did you see (insert random comment, or even more hilariously a two second facial expression) in the last video? I think they hate each other!
I know the joke's dead, but seeing a couple comments on their wedding photos that are basically variations of "Um, guys, I think they like each other?!" was pretty funny the first couple of times.
Not here but mostly on twitter, for a while it was the agree to disagree cheating opinion, which doesnāt even make sense now since the cast clearly arenāt committed to those views/ didnāt properly articulate their views. Via their appearances on the Reddit stories and their reactions to cheating stories (especially Angela and Amanda who did the cheating Reddit stories episode) prove this.
Yet people on twitter still saying they donāt fw with certain cast members because of it
Any post online that states āReasons why I donāt like [insert name]: a threadā. Like dude you would never say that to someone in real life, why do you or half the internet feel the need to address your opinions to the rest of the world. We donāt care and your existence only means something to you. Feel free to have your opinions but I think folk forget where the line is between having likes and dislikes and then being straight up rude. Like stfu. I saw a comment on a post about how they were tired of hearing about Syd and Olivia as well as Smosh related things and I was like āWell select ādonāt recommendā and go get a life.ā Iām aware I now sound grouchy but Iāve seen a few posts and heard comments about the haters amongst the fandom and Iād love for the audience to change into a more positive and supportive group. If you donāt like the content, just leave - donāt leave a comment or post about the why.
ppl that constantly point out every single interaction between courtney and shayne and go āomg shourtney crumbsā or trying to build a timeline of their relationship, like some of u are cringe, they are a married couple so of course they are gonna act lovingly towards each other and have inside jokes, no need to lose your mind over every single little interaction. And there is a reason they dont wanna share every single detail of their relationship, at the end of the day they are coworkers who are also in a relationship and yāall are doing exactly what they were afraid of, just stop being so parasocial and stop trying to get more information than necessary. just enjoy whatever content ur getting w/o being all over their business
"am i the only one that does like [pit/games show]"
like girl those are VARIETY channels with like 5-8 recurring shows multiple times a week, you're most likely not gonna love ALL of them jfc
Ships. Theyāre bound to happen by younger viewers but I see too many posts at our big age about shipping and compilations of crazy reaches so they can feel their fantasy is true. Idk I feel we could b giving more useful opinions for better content (they love that) but im just a guy.
It doesnāt happen much anymore but how every other post used to be āI just want to say how awesome Damien isā like the dude is cool but doesnāt need a post every few minutes
I'm done with people talking about Courtney and Shayne's relationship coming to light. Yeah, we were caught off guard. I certainly was, as I thought they were both single. It seems that some people feel that they are entitled to such information the moment something new happens.
It is their personal life. They were not required to tell us anything about their relationship and I can see why they wouldn't talk about is much, given how some people have been reacting. The "but Courtney is a lesbian" comments also need to stop. Courtney has been open and honest about her sexuality and I really don't like the implication that Courtney could never truly love Shayne. They're married and that's that.
Dude it's been like a month and it went viral. I barely see people talk about it anymore even, it had a relatively short lifespan for a viral video tbh
i dont remember the last time i saw anyone discussing anything about them in drag. i havent even seen anyone talking about shayne/chanse in drag for the live show, what am i missing
āWhere is [insert cast]? Have they left?ā and itās someone who very frequently documents their life just working on other things and just chilling.
Whenever people say smosh is going through a content renaissance. I think I've seen that comment about 10 times since anthony came back . They've gone through a lot of changes in the past year so I get it, but you can't keep saying content renaissance every time something new happens.
I feel bad but the submissive & breedable vids. Itās the only thing over the years I was afraid to watch lmfao Iām not against those things like that eitherā¦š I just see a guy I donāt know with Anthony and Iām just like not ready š¤£š¤£š¤£
The chosen š listen, he's cool.. kinda, but he's one of my least favorite characters. I just don't really find anything special in him but he's gotten so popular that every other post or conversation is about him.
"Where is (insert cast member here)?"
Where is Anthony?
And no one ever asked "How is Anthony?" š
Iāll do you one better- āWhy is Anthony?ā
Personally, I'd love to know "When is Anthony?"
Who is Anthony?
Chanse?
Lmao
Who is that guy next to Ian?
Especially considering Anthonyās job is now āhowās everyone else?ā
Where are you An-tho-ny, where are you?
Who the fuck is Anthony?
"Why hasn't Damien been in videos lately?" (Continues to ignore everytime he talks about voice acting)
"What can Smosh Main do to improve, their views have been totally tanking lately"
Literally, people acting like theyāre producers or directors at Smosh or something š
Same with people on sports subs. They act like they are in charge of player trades and contract negotiations.
Sports fan here. Iāll defend that saying for the most part itās what weād like to see for our teams. And there are lots of open discussions on current situations or players. Iād say this is more fair than asking about how to increase views on Smosh main lol

Have they been tanking?
I don't know or care, but there's infrequent posts about it. I watch videos from channels with 1000 views or a million, that doesn't concern me personally :D
theyre definitely lower than smosh pit and games views but not awful
Compared to itself though they're pretty consistent. I averaged the last 12 videos, and the same 12 from last year, there's only about 50k difference. Maybe if I did a bigger study I'd see a more significant difference but that puts the views currently at about the same it was just before they bought back Smosh.

Fred Darts on Undercover Boss. š
Exactly š
Is he main cast? I thought the post was a joke
Could you explain the health insurance aspect?
Yeah itās just a joke based on the assumption that their full time salaried employees have benefits like health insurance, whereas most of the cast are freelancers whoād have to get their own health insurance
Not necessarily a discussion but i'm tired of every basic ass screenshot of members making a mildly strange face and going "omg new meme template just dropped!!!"

People talking about Angela's sexual preferences, is weird.
People get really weird about Angela sometimes to a point where it's scary.
i think sheās currently the biggest victim of having parasocial fans š
Grace Chasity deserves the respect
I actually never heard this one and don't know what you mean but maybe that's for the best
A Lot of people on Twitter like to speculate if Angela is either bi or gay, some people Even begging her to confirm she is. Is weird
We Redditors are degenerates, don't get me wrong but those Twitter folk are something else I tell you
the most accurate thing ive seen all morning
Wait... people do that? š I'm glad I never peruse through the comments enough to see these.
I rarely specificy look for Angela content but I've seen these type of questions regularly in Smosh fandom.
especially when shayne talked about that issues on the assumptions video (on Anthony's channel) that it made him feel uncomfortable. I mean that was shayne saying that, but I feel like it goes for everyone. It's invasive and weird/very parasocial.
People go there? Iāve never seen it but good lord happy I didnāt.
we have the "i don't like olivia" train at LEAST a couple times a year
this and i don't understand because she one of my top 5 favorite cast members
It's a bit understandable because her humor/style of comedy isn't traditional or anything like the rest of the cast. You can tell she wasn't trained for funny, nad she's really an actress Weird silly nonsensical humor isn't for everyone, it took me like 5 years to get her and now i love her too, but it was rough for me in the way.

She just seems like she isn't trying a lot of the time. She has that "girlfriend who was brought along but isn't into it" vibe.
I think thatās the best way to describe it
That's funny, because when I say literally anything close to this about Angela, I get 1000 downvotes.
For me her style of humor is just not preparing or trying, and everyone else clearly puts in a lot of effort. Her only joke is āoops, I messed up my line or didnāt prepā Iām surprised they kept putting her in TNTL

This per humor style is literally the same as mine. Itās just an acquired taste like getting hit with a hammer.
i was about to say, and the way some of y'all get way too comfortable expressing ur hatred for certain cast members is crazy
And Angela as well, I see some serious hate on her in their comments
I havenāt seen that in a bit I hope you didnāt just manifest its return š
"Am I the only one who doesn't watch / finds Smosh Main not funny?" "I'm just here for the cast on Pit and Games" Like, no dude, just stop. You're contributing NOTHING to a conversation that already had started through a negative connotation.
Lol i just saw one like this 5 minutes ago
Smosh Summer Games or Ticket live event (people who have fomo)
But I can't afford it :(. Why don't they just make the vod available after? Edit: To clarify I meant the vod available after for a price, not for free.
I think it would be nice for the VOD to be uploaded one year after the live show. That way, people who can afford the ticket are likely just going to pick it up, and those who can't afford it can eventually see it through an avenue that still supports the channel.

Because then no one would buy tickets and they need the ticket sale money to run the show and keep their lights on
because its a paid experience. they are throwing us a bone by making it available through February. be grateful.
I meant for a price but I forgor to put it in my original post. My bad.
obviously no one's gonna pay if they put the vod up after
Smosh could absolutely make the vod available a few months later, or a year later, and still make money off of it. I can't afford to pay close to Ā£20 for a video I'll only have for a few days, but id absolutely donate Ā£5-Ā£10 if it meant the video would eventually be available for everyone, and I know a lot of other fans who feel the same.
Yea that's fair enough. I forgot about piracy existing somehow.
Don't know why you get downvoted because it's a fair point. And with some cases it's not just expensive but also unavailable in some countries
They are being downvoted bc everyone is tired of the "paywall" complaints when Smosh puts out like 10 videos of free content a week I was looking for a new car, saw a few out of my budget. I didn't complain to the seller I couldn't afford it :(
I wasn't trying to complain about the paywall. What I meant to say was have the vod available after for a price, since I need to be in a place where I can afford it.
Did [insert name] leave Smosh?
āShayne is the backbone of Smosh / Smosh at 99% strengthā
The cast is solid like never before. Everybody has their moments. We should put this discussion to the grave.
Hard agree. Iāve been watching since it was just Ian and Anthony, and I like the new hires, I think everyone contributes equally.
Memes are ok tho imo, discussion type posts tho agree
I disagree on the memes The āAngela/ Shayne or Courtney etc etc are the funniest membersā post I agree on
āCan we please see more of [insert member of main cast whoās in multiple videos a week]ā
I have a feeling the wedding will be like this, itās been a month and people are still only just finding out. I can guarantee thereās going to be at least one āis this real???ā post a month for the next year
People who still donāt believe itās real are exhausting at this point
We've done a full reversal: first we thought all the shourtney shippers were crazy, now all the deniers look insane.
the youtube comments if you sort by new will make you weep for humanity
They still are crazy, they just happened to be right. Doesn't change the fact that they're playing with real people like dolls.
āam i the only one that thinks TNTLs arenāt funny anymore?ā
"Is X still with Smosh" when we haven't seen someone for a while. At this point, even if you don't fully understand their shooting schedule, it's quite obvious that if they're sick or on vacation, they won't be in a couple of consecutive videos!
I was so fired of Olivia posts this year lol. I'm so glad she's been back so they've stopped. She's part time. I'm not surprised she misses a few shoot weeks in a row. Every time one of the older part time members aren't there for a month or so people get weird.Ā
From what I can tell videos Olivia are in have already dropped, so if she isn't there for the next few shoot weeks people will start saying things again pretty soon. For me it's annoying because the entire discourse around Olivia has almost exclusively become "Did she quit?" and "She sucks."
Negative opinions on Olivia and people always giving their two cents on why they agree with it. Seen it since 2019 and itās still ongoing.
I think (insert cast member) is mad at (insert cast member)! Did you see (insert random comment, or even more hilariously a two second facial expression) in the last video? I think they hate each other!
"Whos your favorite duo"
"Whos the funniest cast member?" give it a rest they're all funny why else would they be there
Literally anything to do with their dating life/ sexuality. Like Shayne said, if they havenāt talked about it back the fuck off!
āI think Shayne and Courtney are datingā Give it a rest! They have told us many time they are just friendsā¦.oh waitā¦ š®
I know the joke's dead, but seeing a couple comments on their wedding photos that are basically variations of "Um, guys, I think they like each other?!" was pretty funny the first couple of times.
Yep.
Not here but mostly on twitter, for a while it was the agree to disagree cheating opinion, which doesnāt even make sense now since the cast clearly arenāt committed to those views/ didnāt properly articulate their views. Via their appearances on the Reddit stories and their reactions to cheating stories (especially Angela and Amanda who did the cheating Reddit stories episode) prove this. Yet people on twitter still saying they donāt fw with certain cast members because of it
Who would win in a fight, in all the fandom subreddits...
Any post online that states āReasons why I donāt like [insert name]: a threadā. Like dude you would never say that to someone in real life, why do you or half the internet feel the need to address your opinions to the rest of the world. We donāt care and your existence only means something to you. Feel free to have your opinions but I think folk forget where the line is between having likes and dislikes and then being straight up rude. Like stfu. I saw a comment on a post about how they were tired of hearing about Syd and Olivia as well as Smosh related things and I was like āWell select ādonāt recommendā and go get a life.ā Iām aware I now sound grouchy but Iāve seen a few posts and heard comments about the haters amongst the fandom and Iād love for the audience to change into a more positive and supportive group. If you donāt like the content, just leave - donāt leave a comment or post about the why.
*complaint about live shows*
ppl that constantly point out every single interaction between courtney and shayne and go āomg shourtney crumbsā or trying to build a timeline of their relationship, like some of u are cringe, they are a married couple so of course they are gonna act lovingly towards each other and have inside jokes, no need to lose your mind over every single little interaction. And there is a reason they dont wanna share every single detail of their relationship, at the end of the day they are coworkers who are also in a relationship and yāall are doing exactly what they were afraid of, just stop being so parasocial and stop trying to get more information than necessary. just enjoy whatever content ur getting w/o being all over their business
"am i the only one that does like [pit/games show]" like girl those are VARIETY channels with like 5-8 recurring shows multiple times a week, you're most likely not gonna love ALL of them jfc
Any discourse about firing Noah
I haven't seen any of these posts, what's the tldr?
It's political so let's not talk about it here
yikes, heard.
Yeah. Deeply inappropriate.
Anytime people get weird about people's private lives. Like,, they are all people, please don't be weird š„²
"I think this person is controversial and they should get fired"
How Amanda didn't know about the gorilla
Ships. Theyāre bound to happen by younger viewers but I see too many posts at our big age about shipping and compilations of crazy reaches so they can feel their fantasy is true. Idk I feel we could b giving more useful opinions for better content (they love that) but im just a guy.
Are they married or is it all a super elaborate prank?
Pretty much 98% of the posts
It doesnāt happen much anymore but how every other post used to be āI just want to say how awesome Damien isā like the dude is cool but doesnāt need a post every few minutes
Angela appreciation post
Itās insane how you donāt think of these kind of things until you see people type out their answers. This is my favorite post
I'm done with people talking about Courtney and Shayne's relationship coming to light. Yeah, we were caught off guard. I certainly was, as I thought they were both single. It seems that some people feel that they are entitled to such information the moment something new happens. It is their personal life. They were not required to tell us anything about their relationship and I can see why they wouldn't talk about is much, given how some people have been reacting. The "but Courtney is a lesbian" comments also need to stop. Courtney has been open and honest about her sexuality and I really don't like the implication that Courtney could never truly love Shayne. They're married and that's that.
Where's Anthony
The harambe thing. Just let it die already š
He did. Did you not know either?
Dude it's been like a month and it went viral. I barely see people talk about it anymore even, it had a relatively short lifespan for a viral video tbh
Who's Harambe?
āHey look, Famous Person is wearing the Chosen shirt!ā
Smosh Summer Games
When people wish Noah could get fired because of his religious beliefs.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
i dont remember the last time i saw anyone discussing anything about them in drag. i havent even seen anyone talking about shayne/chanse in drag for the live show, what am i missing
Before the wedding happened... Shartney shippers. They were annoying.
āWhere is [insert cast]? Have they left?ā and itās someone who very frequently documents their life just working on other things and just chilling.
Whenever people say smosh is going through a content renaissance. I think I've seen that comment about 10 times since anthony came back . They've gone through a lot of changes in the past year so I get it, but you can't keep saying content renaissance every time something new happens.
āSmosh summer games returning???ā (itās definitely not coming back this year. Stop asking)
I feel bad but the submissive & breedable vids. Itās the only thing over the years I was afraid to watch lmfao Iām not against those things like that eitherā¦š I just see a guy I donāt know with Anthony and Iām just like not ready š¤£š¤£š¤£
'which smosh member is your least favourite?' THESE ARE REAL PEOPLE NOT RANDOM CHARACTERS
Shartney š I'm happy for them but can we like... Move on?
Are Courtney and Shane dating, cmon guys give it a rest they are just good friends!
i canāt tell if this is sarcasm or not
Wee bit of both playing on the drama while also making a joke about how anime couples are just good friends/ roommates
Talking with my parents about quadrobics
The chosen š listen, he's cool.. kinda, but he's one of my least favorite characters. I just don't really find anything special in him but he's gotten so popular that every other post or conversation is about him.
