Very noticeable the change in Ian's demeanor with Anthony now back in the picture. I'm glad to be a part of the new membership club for the main channel. Here's to another seventeen years of content!
Yey, my internet parents are back together! Ian took care of the kids as a single parent, he got fired and evicted but he made it work until dad Anthony returned, I'm so happy to live to see this day, this almost never happens 😭💛
@@dragonbowlsupper It makes sense though. They were friends and business partners as literal kids not knowing how to handle how complex their relationship really was, add on to that the fact that men are generally not taught how to communicate and resolve things well and of course it was worse than it is now. Them understanding more about themselves, and just generally understanding why their relationship was the way it was makes it a LOT easier and better to become friends again and even stronger than before.

The happiness in Ian's voice saying "we got Anthony back!" Hit me in the feels, I really missed the guys being together, they seem way moee comfortable being open with each other, even when making jokes
@@antonforsman8099from the "I spent a day with Ian" video that seems to be the case, they mentioned that they were setting everything up behind the scenes and almost no one knew about it. Also yeah they probably are adjusting since it's been 6 WHOLE YEARS without them being on screen with Anthony
And I guess along the way, they must've sliently agreed to just chill in these videos so that Ian and Anthony will be the main highlight in the recent videos. Heck Shayne avoided making a joke in this one
I wouldn't say its a big difference as they have still been friends, he does seem more naturally awkward and less cringe awkward though and ians best trait is his awkwardness.
It’s crazy to me how this reunion has brought so many fans back and created new ones already. This company has always been, and will always be so special. And the biggest welcome back to Anthony too

Anthony is super expressive with his hand motions while Ian is just sat there wrapped up in plastic, not really moving. Its such a funny contrast of their personalities which was always evident in their videos.

For real plus these were the first people I saw on UA-cam and I've been with the channel since, so it's good to see how they matured and still are the same people from that time
dude u can tell Ian and Anthony have just re-clicked on that "bbf for life" level, it's just do heartwarming and amazing to be together, so funny, remembering old stuff and laughing so genuinely.....❤❤❤
Multitude of reasons. Personally I know the relief of rekindling old friendships. But I also bet it has something to do with owning your own brand again and being free of filtration.
They’re chemistry has not died and if anything it seems even more fluid. They were so right about his being the right time and making perfect sense. As Someone who’s been consistently watching for the past decade or so it’s so so great to see. Even the new cast is so great , I can’t wait to see how Anthony works with them
it feels like the 10 year gap really let them mature and find identities. theyve come back stronger than before because they have so much more life experience
Beep bop... I'm the Philosophy Bot. Here, have a quote: "Metaphysics is a dark ocean without shores or lighthouse, strewn with many a philosophic wreck" ~ Immanuel Kant
Damien, Courtney and Shayne are like those children who are watching their parents argue but they cheer on because it's entertaining. WELCOME BACK ANTHONY!!
I love how both of them come to 2 Truths 1 Lie prepared with a bare minimum of 1 nuclear option for every round. They're so similar, even after all these years. My favorite part is how the nuclear option is always the lie, and yet they still find it a believable possibility.
Ian feels funnier with Anthony, not that without Anthony he is t funny but like Ian just has a different vibe. Like it’s still Ian but a little more unhinged and I love it
Revertigo! Not a real term, but I've heard it used to describe the idea of reverting to the type of person you used to be with someone from your past when that person comes back into your life.
its just weird to know they had such a big fallout and the rumors of them actually not being friends were true bc it was never reall actually confirmed but the more theytalk the more it seems they had a big fall out and were actually not friends
They were friends then they had the impossible position of being heads of a business in a brand new territory and technology, while trying to navigate a friendship, while basically being teenagers. Even the strongest friendships could be wrung dry by those circumstances
@@anijeepathey confirmed it on Anthony’s podcast that they weren’t friends anymore for awhile and deeply resented each other while running Smosh back in the day. So yeah, it’s true
@@AMARTmtz yes I’m just not used to Anthony being there is what I meant that like they have memories of when they were younger but some stuff they missed
i love how happy ian obviously is that anthony is back, but there’s something SO endearing about how excited shayne and courtney seem 😭 like little kids trying to make their older brother laugh / impressed, too cute 🥺
Seeing Ian and Anthony's mannerisms when having conversations is so refreshing and really does just feel like seeing childhood friends being themselves
I love ian trying to throw him off by being like "but was it my first kiss" And anthony immediatly is like "no i know that was definitely your first kiss"
@@FancyNeon Yeah. He really is. Only took about six years, too. Now they can put the milk into… My Favorite Coffee. My Favorite Coffee, it’s my favorite coffee.
He used to do it all the time. I think the pressure of being the boss and the leader stopped him from relaxing. Now that he can share this with Anthony he is able to let go a bit more.
Guys I don't care what we need to do but we are protecting Ian & Anthony's friendship. Let us keep our negativity constructive and our positivity continuous!! I shed manly tears when Anthony said they're closer now than back then! We protect this amazing gift. Swear on it!
@@HafidzMurshidie lmao so true, and I got that feeling too before this video. But it was never in a negative way. Maybe it was burn out, but also I understand that people have different energy and attention span for certain form of media, so honestly understandable if he doesn't keep up with it.

Clickbait IRL lol
Technically the truth is the best kind of truth
It's the best way to play this game. When it was pee in the pool once I thought, "oh he's peed in it a bunch of times"
Not even rounding errors, "counter's fee" is the unspoken rule of rooming, the person who has to go through the hassle of counting it gets the better round, dems the rules
And that's why Smosh didn't end up on Dateline, because Anthony was a fucking superhero that had access to the private message server.

Multitude of reasons. Personally I know the relief of rekindling old friendships.
But I also bet it has something to do with owning your own brand again and being free of filtration.
so were we
@@whatisthisnewfeaturehandle He's also focusing on tragedy humor and trivia a little less.
Seeing Courtney being so happy to see Ian and Anthony back together after so many years when she was there at the start makes me happy
She's also an OG fan, she used to watch Smosh from the early years.
Anthony’s memory of their friendship is wholesome asf
I like how happy Courtney and Shane were to have their old gang back
real "dude we are getting the band back together" vibes haha
No one but Anthony can get this kind of energy from Ian
Right? It's so noticeable
5:08 that "YOU PEED ON MY POOL?" came straight up from the rock bottom of ian's soul and even made his voice from the golden ages
Seeing Anthony so animated and Ian so happy, is making me emotional 🥹
hey
Its still so hard to believe.
When Ian said "let's burn this thing to the ground TOGETHER" I did cry.
not en exact qoute btw 😂
@@LordTreeko hey
@@EnergeticSpark63 why do you keep saying hey.
@@LordTreekohey
You can tell just how much more vibrant and excited Ian is with his buddy back.
They’re chemistry has not died and if anything it seems even more fluid. They were so right about his being the right time and making perfect sense. As Someone who’s been consistently watching for the past decade or so it’s so so great to see. Even the new cast is so great , I can’t wait to see how Anthony works with them
it feels like the 10 year gap really let them mature and find identities. theyve come back stronger than before because they have so much more life experience
Beep bop... I'm the Philosophy Bot. Here, have a quote:
"Metaphysics is a dark ocean without shores or lighthouse, strewn with many a philosophic wreck"
~ Immanuel Kant
I haven't seen Ian look so alive until Anthony came back, and as sad as that is, seeing him perk up over the past fee videos is precious
Damien, Courtney and Shayne are like those children who are watching their parents argue but they cheer on because it's entertaining. WELCOME BACK ANTHONY!!
It feels so amazing to have him back
I love how both of them come to 2 Truths 1 Lie prepared with a bare minimum of 1 nuclear option for every round. They're so similar, even after all these years.
My favorite part is how the nuclear option is always the lie, and yet they still find it a believable possibility.
I want every Smosh Pit to begin with Ian going "So... in case you missed it... we bought Smosh!"
In 40 years: S-SO.... IN-IN-INCASE YOU MISSED IT.... W-WE BOUGHT SMOSH!!
The peanut gallery trying to enjoy the fact that Anthony is back while also fighting against their trauma is a mood.
what happened?
What trauma does he have? 😂
Probably about the time when they were witnesses to Ian's two truths one lie with his ex
What trauma?
@@spideronawhiteflagman shut the f up and get your head out of fanfiction's ass...
shane immediately leaving when ian said “i hooked up with your ex” is just golden
hey
Shayne did what we all wanted to do 🤣
He led with that. He fucking led with that.
@@alexxhristova his physical reaction was my mental one lol
@@mettatonex7221 like no waiting for it to be second or even last to soften the blow just started with it
Ian feels funnier with Anthony, not that without Anthony he is t funny but like Ian just has a different vibe. Like it’s still Ian but a little more unhinged and I love it
Revertigo!
Not a real term, but I've heard it used to describe the idea of reverting to the type of person you used to be with someone from your past when that person comes back into your life.
@@Gender_Ascendera HIMYM reference nice!
@@Gender_Ascender Gosh I wish that was a real word cause I just explain it in like multiple analogies. I just wrote a paragraph under here oops.
yeah they bounce out each other pretty well
you can see how much anthony & ian genuinely missed each other’s company. wish smosh the absolute best in this new chapter
yes you can truly see it in their faces..they were genuinely excited and happy and that's including me.
Ian and Anthony's friendship is soooo fkn refreshing to see lol.
its just weird to know they had such a big fallout and the rumors of them actually not being friends were true bc it was never reall actually confirmed but the more theytalk the more it seems they had a big fall out and were actually not friends
@@shanebryant6478 I personally haven’t heard that rumor lol but idk
They were friends then they had the impossible position of being heads of a business in a brand new territory and technology, while trying to navigate a friendship, while basically being teenagers. Even the strongest friendships could be wrung dry by those circumstances
@@shanebryant6478lmao thats not true
@@anijeepathey confirmed it on Anthony’s podcast that they weren’t friends anymore for awhile and deeply resented each other while running Smosh back in the day. So yeah, it’s true
Ian’s gone from being sad divorced dad to being so happy to be reunited with his brother, love it!
Anthony’s immediate laughter and giggles in the first round killed me. They’re so sweet
Ian is THE GOAT for holding it down until this legendary moment. Y'all ARE UA-cam. I feel like I just healed from a childhood trauma.
I agree. They’ve been around so long that when I think of UA-cam, they are a big part of that
@@arduousPopsicle Absolutely!
ok
ikr
Anthony feels like your cool older brother coming back from college and hanging out with you and your friends and not thinking you’re lame anymore
Yeah but not to the discredit of Ian. They both bring an equal amount to the table in my opinion
@@AMARTmtz yes I’m just not used to Anthony being there is what I meant that like they have memories of when they were younger but some stuff they missed
Ian seems more like the older sibling and Anthony younger
the fact that ian has spent so long being like “dead inside” /hj and now seems so alive again just shows how strong their relationship is
the three kids and their dads having a family therapy session is everything!
The change in Ian is insane. He seems so much lighter, emotionally
Also more enthusiast
right?! it is so sweet :(
i also think the stress has been lifted off him aswell!!
I feel such an insane amount of joy seeing them bond over their past
Yeahh
Yep :')
True
Sameee
I like how, even with Anthony throwing shots, Ian seems to genuinely enjoy making videos again and it’s awesome
Heavy is the head that wears the crown
Enlightened is the head with a shoulder to lean on
i love how giggly ian is with anthony! they’re so sweet, it’s nice to see the friendship rekindled
i love how happy ian obviously is that anthony is back, but there’s something SO endearing about how excited shayne and courtney seem 😭 like little kids trying to make their older brother laugh / impressed, too cute 🥺
Seeing Ian and Anthony's mannerisms when having conversations is so refreshing and really does just feel like seeing childhood friends being themselves
watching Ian and Anthony just fall back into the silly goofy vibe with each other is so nostalgic and beautiful
Shayne, Damien, and Courtney we’re the perfect trio to have in the background. their individual reactions are so perfect lmao
God the chemistry between these two is just unreal, unmatched. So happy to see Anthony back!
ok
@@cheoa1473 shut up weirdo
@@cheoa1473ok
ok
ok
Courtney, Shayne, and Damien are just having the time of their lives watching these Buddies bicker like an old couple 😂
they got first row tickets to the greatest internet moment of all times
I agree and I'd say, this is basically all of us lol
Ian seems to be more confident when Anthony's in the room its really nice to have him back.
This is so entertaining. Especially with Shayne, Courtney and Damien sitting there like they're watching their parents play this game. 😂
Seeing Ian and Anthony together again is still so surreal. Courtney being biggest fan in the background is also my new favorite thing
I love this new era of their friendship that is comfortably roasting each other. And I love how Courtney represents the fans!
I love ian trying to throw him off by being like "but was it my first kiss"
And anthony immediatly is like "no i know that was definitely your first kiss"
courtney fangirling in the background is so real 🥲❤
It’s so great to see Ian no longer leaning into “sad Dad.” I’m excited for this new chapter in Smosh history.
That's cause the other dad is back with the milk
@@FancyNeon Yeah. He really is. Only took about six years, too. Now they can put the milk into… My Favorite Coffee. My Favorite Coffee, it’s my favorite coffee.
@@Bobal27 Of course the coffee. The milk definitely wouldn't go anywhere else. It's not like we're talking about some crazy fanfic.
i have ptsd
His husband came back🎉
Courtney fangirling is so relatable 😂
She just like me fr
I'd be lying if I said "traumatize me, daddy" didn't catch me way off guard.
It's so damn wholesome. Courtney is a saint!
😂 i think everyone is fan girling rn tbf
“Teeheeheehee”
I have never heard Ian do his little laugh so much before and it brings me joy
uncomfortable and proud all at once i love it
He used to do it all the time. I think the pressure of being the boss and the leader stopped him from relaxing. Now that he can share this with Anthony he is able to let go a bit more.
Guys I don't care what we need to do but we are protecting Ian & Anthony's friendship. Let us keep our negativity constructive and our positivity continuous!! I shed manly tears when Anthony said they're closer now than back then! We protect this amazing gift. Swear on it!
The sweetest part is that Anthony stays updated in watching smosh content even though they were apart 🥹 excited for this new era ❤
hey
Whilst Ian don’t.. Lol…
@@HafidzMurshidie lmao so true, and I got that feeling too before this video. But it was never in a negative way. Maybe it was burn out, but also I understand that people have different energy and attention span for certain form of media, so honestly understandable if he doesn't keep up with it.
I love how smosh's humor matured alongside ours, so they're still funny to us now and it isn’t just nostalgia
I did not watch it back then. But this is great
Matured? Ok
@@brandonmunsen6035 why are you here if your hating?
@@brandonmunsen6035 You're one of those who equate maturity to being serious and kinda uptight most of the time and immaturity to having fun, aren't you?
@@VaporeonLicker use the proper variation of "your" and I'll give you an answer.
Rhett and Link have literally had the same argument about fudging the numbers by pennies 😆
And they said the same thing. "Well I'm the one doing this so I felt I deserved it" 😭😂😂 always so valid.
the funny part was when rhett said it link looked over for like a half second then turned back and didnt care at all lmao
Omg does anyone know what episode of gmm this is? I remember it but I can’t find it! I loved that discussion.
Edit: it’s at the Hot Ones video at 19:58
@@brandelynnefreleng7597 it might have been mentioned more than once but i know rhett admitted it on hot ones
@@embismusic thank you! I think that’s the one where they had it out! I’ll watch it and edit my initial comment if it is!
I just feel like you can see them healing and it makes my little teenage self smile
I’ve watched them since I was like 11? I’m 21 now 🥲
