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.

@@fa1ruzIn my opinion, he usually seems a little more laid back/calmer. Since they’re really good friends who have known each other for decades, I think being re-united with the one person who is not only one of your longest friends, but someone you’ve built a successful career with, you’re going to feel elated and so much happier. :)
@@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.

I remember Damien mentioning that he only worked with Anthony for a small amount of time and the last time he saw Anthony he said that he'd see him at work tomorrow and then ended up leaving. It's nice now seeing Damien getting to be around Ian and Anthony together

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
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

Seeing Ian and Anthony's mannerisms when having conversations is so refreshing and really does just feel like seeing childhood friends being themselves
@@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?
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!
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"
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.
This comment has me almost crying because you can tell how much pain it caused both of them, especially Ian. It probably felt like his brother abandoned him and their vision. Watching them heal from pain in the past is healing my inner wounds sm!
welp. i gave 6 months and it happened in 14 hours.
So what about the million likes to get the d*ck video?
literally, i was watching this as it hit 250k and i was giggling the whole time
Welp
go get that journal ready bestie 🤭
Now we get to do 1mill likes to make you see each other dicks

Welcome to Ian's Trauma Center, Anthony 😅🌚
Next video Ian leaves Smosh after reading it 😱
Nah
Ian will go through with another divorce 😂
Shayne, Damien and Courtney are the kids that always get caught up in their parents drama 😂😂
I agree 😅
Relatable 😂
@@AliFareedMCsameeeeeeee even after the divorce I was still in the middle of it

It's the simplest premise in the world (find the lie) and both of them freeze up like they're doing advanced calculous trying to figure out what they're even doing.
They are the two hands on the same broken clock.
@@gingerweasel2actually i think that they're nervous (and traumatized) about what would happen in this godsent video.
Are you really with your best friend if you aren't WAY more stupid around each other?
Especially since Ian perfectly explained it himself at the start of the video.
I love how anthony dramatized the fuck out of his answers like "i fudged the numbers on the bills" and "i secretly read people's private messages" and actually its just "i stole a couple bucks bc of rounding errors" and "i was making sure there was no pedos on the site i owned"
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.
It's like seeing divorced parents getting back together realizing their wrongs and the crew are the kids being happy that they're back together.
No wait why is that the best ever??
Also you can see the fear of their kids sometimes when both of them make jokes about breaking up again xD

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
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
You can tell just how much more vibrant and excited Ian is with his buddy back.
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!!
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
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
Anthony’s immediate laughter and giggles in the first round killed me. They’re so sweet
The way Ian failed to see how "I hooked up with your ex" and "I cheated on you" is basically the same in the friendship/relationship world 😂😂😂😂😂
Pretty sure he knew exactly what he was doing lol😂
Whenever Ian does 2 Truths and 1 lie it always ends in chaos 😅
I always get ptsd thinking about the last time he messed up 😂
@@Maria67362 Same 😅
I think I missed. What happened last time
@@AakashSainiiit says in the video about 1min in😂
@@AakashSainii Nothing too bad, just messed up and told his ex he cheated on her (It was a lie, but sprayed her like it was true)
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
the three kids and their dads having a family therapy session is everything!
It's crazy that after all this time, Anthony can come back in without missing a beat. It was truly meant to be.
@wonscape Confidence and maturity give so much to personality.
I think it was good for them both overall. Now they're back together with a fresh restart
I'm absolutely here for Anthony's return. This is such a great renaissance of Smosh. I love that they own their baby again 💕
Yeah I was really worried if he was going to bring outdated, old, humour so that's good to see
i kind of hope thta they make Anthony go on Eat it or Yeet it lol
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
God the chemistry between these two is just unreal, unmatched. So happy to see Anthony back!
ok
@@cheoa1473 shut up weirdo
@@cheoa1473ok
ok
ok
damien "WEVE GOT SKIN IN THE GAME ANTHONY" the funniest pun in a moment of pure panic lmfaoooo
Ian’s gone from being sad divorced dad to being so happy to be reunited with his brother, love it!
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
Shayne, Damien, and Courtney we’re the perfect trio to have in the background. their individual reactions are so perfect lmao
the fact that they almost screwed up the question about ian’s ex is hilarious, shayne was about to have a traumatic flashback
PTSD entered the chat
Did Ian cheat on his ex?
@@idiomatic444no he didn’t, just got the game wrong
@@MoonExcaliburlmfao
@MoonExcalibur ohhhh thank god lol
I feel such an insane amount of joy seeing them bond over their past
Yeahh
Yep :')
True
Sameee
watching Ian and Anthony just fall back into the silly goofy vibe with each other is so nostalgic and beautiful
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 🥲
The Pam incident was traumatic, but it was isolated. This entire episode is real trauma 😂
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
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.
It’s so sweet seeing Courtney so fangirl 😭😭😭
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 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?
@@achicken4531 use the proper variation of "your" and I'll give you an answer.
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!!
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!
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 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"
Ian seems to be more confident when Anthony's in the room its really nice to have him back.
shane looks like hes so shocked in some of these he freezes and doesnt know how to react i love it lol
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.
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
It's so nice to see Ian actually laughing again
This comment has me almost crying because you can tell how much pain it caused both of them, especially Ian. It probably felt like his brother abandoned him and their vision. Watching them heal from pain in the past is healing my inner wounds sm!
2 iconic friend Duo is back
Did you guys realized Ian look happier than before? I mean so freaking happy! I'm really glad because of that
Ian and Anthony work so well together because if you don’t understand Ian’s joke then Anthony can usually translate.
