Ian screaming in the intro, “Bring back the Frickin’ dislike button!” Was sooo funny! And i agree!!
@@jeremy5491yes this. I have the chrome extension to show dislikes on UA-cam. Anyone can download it. But I have no idea how accurate it is for new videos posted
Hot take: I would have liked to have seen a third option for an expression of a mixed opinion.
Another Idea I’ve had: The site should allow for more detailed filtered searches (I’d suggest the ability to search by percentage and range of physical number of likes, dislikes or mixed opinions, range of view count, a range of dates of upload, if it is monetized or not, if it was ever on trending and if so where did it peak and when, and by range of the channels subscriber count)
What do you think?
You can just get a browser extension to show dislikes.
@@fortynights1513 This! We NEED an option like that instead of just removing the dislikes from the public view.
ian saying he could take a punch to the head has the same energy as chanse saying he could jump over a moving car
That being said, he has been punched in the face before. The face is on the head
@@michaelasmith2037every day’s a school day
wait sorry for being that person but what's the time stamp?
nvm found it
30:53 Ian realizing they really were actually VERY popular back in 2013, so much so that their videos would get millions of views within days, and almost not being able to comprehend that is so funny
It was crazy even for the time that’s what’s wild.
It’s funny cause of course they’ve always known they’re popular but they usually just talk about it in passing. Actually talking about it now got to him😭
Getting 5 mil views on 7 mil subscribers is pretty insane by current standards. It's incredibly rare nowadays for subscriber count to directly translate to views. Smosh has 26 mil subscribers now, and 5 mil is still a better performing video. Pewdiepie has over 100 mil subs, but a fraction of that in views.
@@nicole-xx8xithe reality hits him while talking about it like “Oh yeah millions of people.. actually really like us..”
@@GenGaarawe need to compare old UA-cam views to now like what they do with inflation of costs, I’m curious what the modern day equivalent of that is
Now that Anthonys back, Ian finally has someone who doesnt bat a fucking eye at his dark tangents
Wdym
Kortney editing this video was like "LIARSSS THEY ARE LITERALLY LIARSSS"
"IAN LAUGHING AT ANTHONY'S PAIN' WAS SUCH A BURN😂😂
“They’re just lying”
I love Kortney so much for the editing in this vid😂
Who is Kortney?
@@solodsnek8040She edits these videos.
seeing ian get so excited about jenna marbles made me feel like a kid again
UGH I miss Jenna so much 😭 even the thumbnail was enough to hit me in the heart
Even a bar of irishspring soap makes me think of her 😂
@@abbyllama7282 Cermet's favorite! 😂
@@WookieWoman an it will help the cermet grow 🥹
@@babystone42I read that in the voice 😭
I clicked for this reason
Jenna: *listing weird, crazy names for animals*
Anthony and Ian: *nodding in agreement*
😂
😂
2013 meta: creativity, sketches, being original by being yourself
The meta a decade later: apology videos
Also the meta a decade later: Weird and annoying kids content where you’re like, “Why even allow babies and little kids on the internet to begin with?”
@@carter_lovejoy And apparently I’m the only one who sees toddler accounts as a problem. 💀
wait till you find out that underneath it all, the metas always been apology videos
@@shanthegamer21 I guess I haven't reached that part of UA-cam yet thankfully lol
@@iheartlownotes But it's funny how for every apology, now there are like 20 other channels talking about it
Love that they’ve been having guests but it’s nice to have an episode that’s just them after not having one in a while
I agree
I agree fck fake crew
Never liked em
I really hope that Jenna is living her absolute best life, wherever she is.
Her and Julian and married and are fostering dogs constantly they are very happy Julian still does stuff she’s not in it but he talks about her
Ian having an existential crisis about how popular smosh was back then.
Ian's assumption on kid president is exactly what I thought lol
Haha but I WAS NOT GOING TO SAY IT OUT LOUD
Today I found out it was not a parody channel
Same, I never watched it either so I just assumed 😭😂
Same lmao
Same tbh
Ian cringing at Tobuscus is hilarious lmao. What a rabbit hole you can go down on with that guy
LMAO the tobuscus jumpscare
dude's still uploading from some high-rise
Favorite part tbh
Followed up with that quiet little 'oof' and the face he makes when the Fine bros. show up. 🤣
I used to love him. Like why 😂
I feel like Ian and Anthony don’t give themselves enough credit pioneering UA-cam! Like the fact that they had Lunchtime with Smosh and Mail Time with Smosh which is literally modern UA-cam today just mukbangs and creating super editing content of just hanging out with your friends. It’s so entertaining! And they pioneered it! I feel like if they did just vlog style stuff of them trying out food and going on target buying sprees it would completely FILL MY FANGIRL HEART. Like seeing Ian and Anthony just hanging out as best friends like they did back in the day would be crazy! And a lot of the new stuff today is just that. Plus Podcasts, drama channels, and etc. Keep the sketch comedy obviously but PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE BRING BACK LUNCHTIME WITH SMOSH
True. Mailtime with smosh definitely pioneered a genre that a lot of channels do now for opening fanmail.
You are cooking with this take 🔥
2013 was definitely the last time that UA-cam was under one community umbrella and then 2014 was the transitional year where everyone started to branch off into niches. Between 2014 and 2016 I mainly stuck to the Let’s Play community with Game Grumps, Markiplier, Jackscepticeye, and a lot of the more niche gaming channels.
Niche? You’re a total normie lmfao.
The seemingly unintentional synchronized head nodding through Jenna Marbles' alternate animal names killed me. 45:04
We need an episode each for Felix and Ryan. And Jenna too if she's okay with being in videos again.
Also love the ChadChad discourse.
Chad Chad is what happens when you give a boring girl who peaked in high school a platform, so basic
@@people2chronically-onlineshhh be quiet
Ian being like “yo they got girls generation?” Was the most surprising thing here what this man registers as something worth retaining information about is an enigma
i actually said "oh" when he said that.. i jumped
As a Norwegian, hearing them thinking that Ylvis and "What Does The Fox Say?" is Swedish killed a part of my soul
I'm Swedish but I was like "Nooo don't do that" 😂😭
Honestly, that was the most brutal way they could insult the song
oh god the nostalgia of this episode will kill me. 2013, age 12, the height of my youtube obsession...
Ayyy same!! 2001 babies!!! Such a time
omg sameeee
2001 gang
sameeeee
Jesus... I was 28. 😂
49:20 Erin panicking about people dressed as pedobear meeting children in 2013 and Ian cracking up at that?!?!?! THAT'S the duality of Smosh right there
I think these Smosh episodes are the only videos I don't plan to finish but always watch all the way through.
Same
every long moment of silence in this made me deeply respect kourtney
She has incredible comedic timing honestly
She and shayne only crew ook i tolerate others are trash and waste of space
Ian mentioning Girls’ Generation gave me whiplash. WHEN WORLDS COLLIDE!
real
Frrr my jaw dropped
the way i actually said "oh!"
@@wekimekiling Oh! Oh! Oh! oppareul saranghae
Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! mani mani hae
@@kiraross oh my god that was unintentional... snsd is everywhere 😭😭
I would argue UA-cam Rewind 2015 might be better because they focused more on the community and the fandoms.
Also it was the 10 year aniversary so they reference older memes too
I was 16, and now I'm pushing 30. 😐
@BoyBlunder66 you're still in your mid 20s, relax
@@BoyBlunder66 bruh I'm already 30 and I can tell you right now, nothing changes lol
The sense of community and everyone coming up together was definitely UA-cam wide, viewers included. You’d reference/quote a video IRL and an excited stranger would come up to you and share their own favourite lines.
No they wouldn’t
You’re right. *if you were a friendly and fun person, you’d reference/quote a video in a real life social situation and other friendly and fun, excited people would come up to you and share their own favourite lines
I had a friend who I showed “the haunting” which is still my favorite old smosh video, and she and I would act out the scenes at each other from across the room during class 😂
My litmus test for friends back in school was often if they’d laugh at a weird ass UA-cam video or get a reference. Charlie the fucking unicorn was my vibe check 😅 but hey it did work in directing me to some of my favorite people. Now we ask what podcasts or streams we’re all watching lol
wait... annotations stopped? bruh I ignored it so much that I didn't realise it's not there anymore 💀
REAAAL blocked it from my mind so hard forgot how much I fucking hated it
A little bit ago I was like "I thought I could turn off end card stuff?" I'm only just now realizing I was thinking about annotations! And youtubers would use them sometimes to make corrections to their videos because you couldn't edit an already uploaded video
I miss it!! it was so useful
The zoom ins always make me chuckle so much. Especially when Anthony says "yeah yeah yeah" or "mhm mhm". Video editor deserves so much credit for keeping attention.
Man, Ian went through a small crisis hearing over the old view counts
Noticing how huge and popular they were
First time in Smosh history that anyone has ever pumped the brakes on a scream to save the sound guy's ears.
ian cringing at every canceled youtuber is gold 🤣🤣
THANK GODDDD WE GOT THE GUESTLESS EPISODE 😭😭😭
I do have to agree, i don’t mind the episodes with guests but its a little too frequent at the moment
@@Arsenicsquirrel Not gonna lie I'm kind of hoping they go back to watching older smosh videos and it's just them, no guests
@@mrhashbrown8283 this
Chill.
@@Toastybees hang on to your ego, they're just excited
yayyyyy an ian and anthony flashback 💞💞💞💗 love the guests but missed just the two of you
100 percent agree 💞
i always feel like 2013 wasnt that long ago but then i remember i was literally in elementary school and now im a grown man
fr. a lot happened in 10-11 years
Early UA-cam reminds me of the good times crowding around an iPod touch with all your friends. UA-cam being smaller and having the community of peers at school made the experience of sharing videos with people in person something that we'll sadly never feel again. I'd say peak UA-cam was 2012 for me.
"We can cut that out"
*it's left in* 😂
@14:30 it’s because the 2010-2020 decade was the decade of “OMG I’M SO RANDOM HAHA LMAO!!!” humor, and what does the fox say capitalized heavily on that.
“Rawr lol I’m so random :3 “ Thank goodness we’ve left that behind in the previous decade.
It's just Crazy Frog all over again
Anthony is tripping, that cardboard profile background was iconic
I really hope this series never stops. I've been watching UA-cam since before Smosh and I love the nostalgia.
Jenna in the thumbnail.... My all time favorite UA-camr. I respect her decision to leave, of course, but I miss her an unhealthy amount 🥺
Ian knowing SNSD makes my day 😂
Saaame 😂
samme😂😂 i was a new sone 2013 and a decade later i still laugh at them thinking it’s “i got a boy on my chin”😂😂
Same 🥹🩷😂 I feel seen
as a man in his 30's I can only hope to reconnect with my Ian/Anthony they really make me smile.
this just feels like nostalgia with friends in the best way (except that you know all those people irl lmao) also kourtney took me out with the "why the f you lying" meme sound,, the throwback?? ALSO THE MEMES AT 42:37 I CANT
I love how every new person ian saw he's cheering for them 🤣 he is a good friend
I really appreciate the extra commentary and fact checking from both Erin and editor Kortney. ❤
for real, they're also covering their cis white boys asses lmao
38:50 Erin saying “that tracks” is probably the funniest thing I’ve heard today 😭
I soooo wanna see Ryan Higa come on a Try Not to Laugh or sketch with Ian and Anthony...
40:33 I love the bleep only after Ian finishes the swear 😂🤪
LMAOO
im still so giddy these two are regularly making content together again. its been such a joy.
sometimes i sit and think "oh did i like 2013 youtube because im clouded with nostalgia?" and then I rewatch it and laugh harder than anything ive watched in the last month
How old is Erin? I’m 22 but I remember exactly what Ian and Anthony are talking about with looking at channels and everything and she keeps asking about it like it was the stone ages
Probably 14
Everyone didn't watch as much youtube as you back then. Not too weird
apart of it is probably intentional, to give exposition to stuff that ian and anthony, who have spent their whole adult lives on youtube, would could consider super obvious
she’s 25 or 26 I think
I was about to ask the same thing. I'm 24 so I was 13 when this happened and I remember all of this
The era of 2010 to like 2015/16 was truly peak youtube.
it still feels surreal having ian and anthony together again but it’s like a good dream and i’m here for it
When they were talking about old UA-cam i remembered the annotations and how annoyed i was when they used to put them over the whole screen and when Anthony brought that up later and how he hated it too and was just playing the game i damn near cried lmao, really brought back a lot of memories...
Anthony and Ian invite Ray William Johnson on Flashback with Smosh
Playing the “who’s cancelled now” game is an interesting one for this
4:56 "Let's do this" mention. I'm activated and have to say that please bring back that show and reunions. They could work well on Pit now if they don't fit here!
The only way it could work on Main is if Anthony comes in as Ian’s co-host.
Pleeeeease! Let's Do This and Reunions were so good 😢
12:16 OUR ONCE PER VIDEO IAN PULLS UP A VIDEO!!!!
I personally feel most/best connected to the yt era of 2008-2011 but I can't pinpoint why. I, too, feel like 2013 was kinda the beginning of the end for "yt innocence" or fandom culture as we knew it generally, it then being really truly changed (and partly horribly so) in 2015/2016.
I think for me 2012-13 was around when I started watching UA-cam (I was around 10 years old) so it has a special place in my heart
@@WishGenderme too but I was on the laterrr half of the year 2013, so I was all in for the most known or subscribed content creators (Felix, smosh, Ryan, ray william Johnson)
There's something about Erin just conversing and fact checking them I just love!
The music in UA-cam rewind just hits me so hard in the nostalgia. I was 12, happy every day. I remember watching that video over and over. The cool winter breeze finally coming. Man.
All if the editor's notes give such Erin energy and I love them. Please keep doing them.
Nice seeing you remembering MrGuitarMan... he was the biggest UA-camr I saw at the very start of UA-cam with RWJ as well and you guys as well.
Ian knowing girls generation makes me so happy for reasons I don’t even know lmao
Omggg there's a "/s" in the subtitles after Erin says sorry at 19:49! I love it 😂
Ian knowing how popular Girls’ Generation is warms my heart lol
As a Mississippian, the Ian prancercise to blues is beautiful
I love the hype when seeing Jenna appear on screen because honestly same
Smosh not realising how massive they are is so iconic! Lol
unrelated but as a new fan it took me a while to accept how silly ian was bc he looks like such a serious dilf
Stop bc I need him
The damage this has dealt to me is immeasurable
yay an episode with just the two of them! it's nice to see after awhile 🥰
Wow I like this one!!! Please more episode like this. I always love listening to you guys talk about anything, but especially your opinion on youtube contents over the year.
It's so interesting to listen to them discuss the older eras of youtube. It makes me very nostalgic
Ian talking about SNSD caught me so off guard 😭 love them sm
Dude, Kortney, your editing is AMAZING ❤
I love when Ian goes off on these tangents they’re so educational
The super head espolder ad in the old channel banner literally shook me to my core with nostalgia I completely forgot they made that an actual game
I like watching you guys contemplating different aspects about ur experience, and I think that’s what makes this channel real
Oh my god that fly sound effect was so well done that i started waving my hands around my head trying to get a fly away. I didnt see the graphic and have in headphones
I love how this is edited - hilarious!
I was only just starting to get over how I still miss old UA-cam and UA-cam rewinds and now I'm pulled right back into those feelings. 😭Great vid tho, felt like it lightly touched on most things I remember from back then.
These videos are some of my favorites. Keep em up guys! It’s cool seeing an internal perspective of what was going on back then.
I miss UA-cam and just the internet as a whole back then, it was more wild west and a detachments from The real world, now it feels like the internet is an extension of the real world, which honestly doesn't make room for a lot of escapism, I just also hate how there's a lot of negativity due to UA-cam and the internet, people use Fame as a jumping off point to be a jerk to people that they they see on the street. Harassment has become content which is just devastating
15:08 they’re actually Norwegian
I like the way Ian is sitting in this video it's simultaneously laid back and anxious and I feel that.
A flashback focused on the games and pit channels would be cool videos too
The 10 year anniversary of YT (2015, I think) was the superior rewind. Also the music in these always banged
Agreed
It's so interesting to see them talking about this stuff. It makes me realize how significant it was that Anthony left. I'm glad the dads are back together.
2010-11 were by far my favorite years - I felt the most connection with the UA-camrs I watched at the time & though many of them don’t create content anymore, I still check in on their socials every so often out of curiosity
Hearing Ian talk about Stonehenge by ylvis felt so validating
The sniping on their intellect subtitles are killing me. I love it!
This is a great idea for a video! I would like to see more reaction on UA-cam rewinds or projects that they have collaborated.
As someone who has been watching Smosh since the early days, it's wild to see how they reflect and talk about the early days.
Erin did a really good job in asking good questions!
It's amazing how much the platform has changed over the years. Heck it's amazing how much Smosh has changed since then. Also how nuts is it that 2013 is over a decade ago?
Many moons ago when I was introduced to UA-cam, I only watched music and lyric videos on it, it took me over a decade to really get into other types of content. So videos like these are a fun discovery for me! I’ve been watching a lot of older content from creators I like as well 😊
Truly the OG kings of UA-cam! You two raised an entire generation fr
The exhale zoom on Ians face during the "What does the fox say" portions...great!
The 2013 recap was actually different. The first version had the gentleman song from PSY but a few years later they removed it
I REMEMBER THAT- why did they remove it? 😭
Yay finally an Ian and Anthony Flashback! I like the guests sometimes but we missed the dads by themselves ❤
