the juxtaposition between them being so animated and shoutey whenever they're in the house, to them fidgeting nervously and speaking like mice when they're outside makes the first food battle so funny
Ian, just know that even though things have changed so much between all food battles, there is one thing that never changes.... Your love for Chumbawumba
Can we give some appreciation to Ian who always stayed with Smosh? No matter if he gets knocked down, he gets up again; you're never gonna keep him down. I admire that so much.
I'm so proud of Ian, for sticking it out, growing etc. He's evolved so wonderfully and I love that he did whatever he could to keep smosh alive! I'm happy that Anthony is back But only as long as it doesn't overshadow Ian!
I can't wait to see Anthony and Chumbawumba's #1 fan battle it out with food once again. Food Battle is the greatest series Smosh has ever done. I've missed this yearly event and voting for Anthony's food so much. It's amazing how much it and their production quality overall improved and evolved over the years. I'm so glad it's back.
4:45 Anthony still remembers that part of the script and mouths it while it’s playing. That is unbelievably wholesome for some reason. Also, Ian forgot to mention his love for Chumbawumba, even though it’s clear this video was influenced by their incredible discography.
Guys, just know, even though Ian lost a friend, he gets knocked down, you won't be able to keep him down, because he always gets up again. We should all take inspiration from him.
genuinely chanse’s observations about the deeper meaning behind these sketches that he’s giving since he’s seeing all this for the first time are such a great part of this new era of smosh. having him be so invested in the emotional weight of this journey is so cool !
@@Alyumic For a clearer answer, Ian didn't send in his three favorite artists when prompted, so the team decided to troll him by putting in random bands, Chumbawumba being one of them. Shayne then told the viewers to start commenting about how Chumbawumba is Ian's absolute favorite band ever in the next video he shows up in, which just so perfectly happens to be Flashback.
@@Jabogers honestly I think it’s funnier than that. While Anthony didn’t send in his three, Ian decided to make it hard for shayne by putting in random artists. Shayne figured out that whoever put it in did it for trolling purposes, and wanted to avenge it, so he asked everyone else to refer to Ian as Chumbawumba’s biggest fan.
Look at Ian’s face around 50:11, the way that smirk drops and the others are smiling, you can feel him mentally going back to that time and just wishing he could’ve changed that time when they lost their friendship, I never noticed how Ian’s smile is gone and he’s just concentrating Edit: even how Anthony’s smirk drops until he’s looked at then he starts chuckling, it’s so sweet to see Anthony and Ian looking back on how their friendship started to crack and then rebuild now
49:02 is the funniest moment of this whole thing. Anthony just goes for the throat in the most hilarious way possible. I love that they're back to a level of friendship where they can make those jokes. It always warms my heart hearing Ian and Anthony laughing in the same way that they only do with each other. Also, nice to see the even though the joke knocked Ian over, he got back up again. I was worried that the joke would have kept him down.
The best part was the silence when Barney comes in at the end credits and Courtney and Chanse look horrified and Anthony and Chumbawumbas #1 fan are just losing it 😂😂😂😂
Weirdly it's like Anthony and Chumbawumba's #1 watching their own teenage sons goofing off in videos. I can feel their sincere affection for their own past. Love it!
I don't see it. I just see a comedian trying real hard to make content next to someone who barely understands the medium. Just look at the moment when Chance tries to deduce why Ian didn't believe Anthony about his girlfriend, and Ian awkwardly responds "..... its acting". Ian seems really done with chance.
The poetry of both Ian and Anthony dropping the donut, only to have them both land closer to each other. Sometimes letting go is what it takes to realize the bonds are there even when you don't tug and pull.
So glad that even though Ian and Anthony's relationship was rocky there for a bit, you can never keep them down! Even if they get knocked down, they'll get up again! You ain't ever gonna keep them down!
Chanse saying that Courtney has pretty eyes was cute 🙊🥺 Nearly had me crying at the end, I’m so glad Ian and Anthony found their ways back to each other 🥰🥰
Love how Anthony is like the ex girlfriend that came back & keeps questioning Ian & Ian doesn’t wanna answer lol “you never looked me in the eyes Ian.” “You never asked me what was wrong before” 😂
They should do a Drink Battle between Anthony and Ian. They could do a whiskey drink, a vodka drink, a cider drink and a lager drink. Then they could sing the songs that remind them of the good times.
I love how so many of the videos since Anthony has gotten back have been sprinkled with them healing their friendship and reminiscing on the good and bad times. It's all so real and honestly wholesome.
It's really great having guests on here! Having newer (weird calling Courtney new) members watch along to classic Smosh alongside Anthony and Chumbawumba's #1 Fan really does make things feel fresh and fun, not to mention it brings up some outsider questions
Gosh, seeing the old Food Battles really take me back. So immensely happy that Anthony and Ian are back at it again! Anthony just knows how to sing the songs that remind us of the good times, and Ian knows how to sing the songs that remind us of the better times.
I like how their comments when watching 2016 is more about the interpersonal relationship issues Ian and Anthony were having at the time than the actual video
Best video ever! I loved when Gandalf came out singing Chumbawumba, because even though he got knocked down, by the balrog, you can’t ever keep him down!
I feel weird for admitting this, but I think Anthony looks so handsome in Food Battle 2016. The wavy hair and the sweater make him look so soft and tidy.
I honestly think the first food battle is the best. It's the idea at its most pure and just feels like something I would have made with my friends when growing up.
Really glad that the rest of the cast is appearing again on the main channel! I love the duo, but they have such a strong cast to share screentime with.
It’s weird that Ian hasn’t said ANYTHING about Chumbawumba in this video. He’s been obsessed with them for decades.
All that behavioural therapy is paying off😂
the juxtaposition between them being so animated and shoutey whenever they're in the house, to them fidgeting nervously and speaking like mice when they're outside makes the first food battle so funny
Ian, just know that even though things have changed so much between all food battles, there is one thing that never changes.... Your love for Chumbawumba
LMFAO 🤣
Even after 10 years 😂
Smosh inspires me.. My parents said if i get 70K followers They'd buy me a professional camera for recording..begging u guys , literally
Begging...
I get down I get up AGAIN
Ok
Chanse out here studying Smosh lore like an anthropologist
And a couple's therapist 😂. "did that make you feel lonely?"
Wish they put a smosh fan there
So glad to see Anthony, Chanse, Courtney and Chumbawumba's number 1 fan on the podcast
Even after 10 years they are all the still exact same 😭😂
I’m not, this should be Ian and Anthony only
i was looking for this comment lol
So glad this exists
@@XCWwrestling69it’s actually much fun when they had someone other than them is watching, especially when Anthony has a strong memory
20:17 Chanse first boy kiss story is so sweet but that little note “This sweet little chat started from Ian having a donut go down on him” lmaooooo😭
So glad they got Chumbawumba's #1 fan on here. Glad he was able to make time to join Anthony Chanse and Courtney
LMFAO SO TRUE 😂

Nobody will never gonna keep him down
There’s only one Ian Hecox
He gets knocked up but he gets a coat hanger, he ain’t never gonna come to term
@@mosquitopyjamas9048 YEEEES
It's pretty weird to see a video of Ian not talking about his love for Chumbawumba. He is their #1 fan after all.
52:55 you can see how much Ian and Anthony's humor still match up since theyre the only one laughing on there lmao
I was going to comment the same thing, I love it so much, they still got that childish humor that we all do 😂😂😂
@@AbominableC6 i love that for them, their sense of humor is what connects them this whole time

The fact Food Battle 2006 is 3 years away from being a 20 year old video is INSANE.
I feel old now, thanks.

I can't believe Chumbawumba's #1 fan was available for this episode of flashback with Smosh, this truly is a blessed era for the channel.
genuinely chanse’s observations about the deeper meaning behind these sketches that he’s giving since he’s seeing all this for the first time are such a great part of this new era of smosh. having him be so invested in the emotional weight of this journey is so cool !
god ian loves chumbawumba so much it’s inspiring
Aight I've seen this in every comment can someone explain what that means? What Smosh lore did I miss?

Ian and Anthony dying at the Barney bit while Chanse and Courtney are sitting there absolutely flabbergasted is sending me
It seems odd how Ian didn’t mention anything about Chumbawumba considering how much he loves them
I'm pretty sure they have automatic systems cutting out all of Ian's Chumbawamba references at this point
I literally laughed out loud when Anthony pauses to say "I don't think you ever asked me what was wrong in real life"
Everyone talking about their feelings
Ian: Obamna
That sound board is the best thing they could have given to an Ian
😅
Ian is either a toddler or a pet
45:57 that caught me off guard😂 that is the most believable "daddy" I have ever heard in my life
Ian may have lost some food battles, but when he gets knocked down, he gets up again.
One thing to always remember is
_you're never gonna keep him down_
I think its a draw or anthony won 1 more over ian
ok today I got into my coworkers car on the way home and the radio was blasting tubthumping lmaooo chumbawamba is in the air, this the season
Look at Ian’s face around 50:11, the way that smirk drops and the others are smiling, you can feel him mentally going back to that time and just wishing he could’ve changed that time when they lost their friendship, I never noticed how Ian’s smile is gone and he’s just concentrating
Edit: even how Anthony’s smirk drops until he’s looked at then he starts chuckling, it’s so sweet to see Anthony and Ian looking back on how their friendship started to crack and then rebuild now
It was so funny when Ian said it's Chumbin time and Chumbawumba'd all over Anthony
Every Smosh fan fiction moment.
Love that Chanse made a Community reference at 45:47. And he’s totally right; that’s a very Troy and Abed coded bit.
I’m seriously so happy for Ian, finally being able to have his love for Chumbawumba out in the open to appreciated by all smosh fans.
Chanse’s story about how his crush held his hand in between the couch cushions because he wasn’t out yet was genuinely so sweet it made me tear up
Chumbawumba should be proud of their #1 fan finally collaborating with Anthony Padilla again. Truly a magical moment
Ian has done such a great job with Smosh. Continuously proving that when he gets knocked down, he gets up again and that nothing can keep him down 🔥
The quick recap at 23:28 about Ian and Anthony being horny is HILARIOUS
Who is Ian?? The only people I see are Anthony, Courtney, Chanse, and Chumbawamba’s #1 fan
chanse always being entertained by younger ian is so heartwarming
49:02 is the funniest moment of this whole thing. Anthony just goes for the throat in the most hilarious way possible. I love that they're back to a level of friendship where they can make those jokes. It always warms my heart hearing Ian and Anthony laughing in the same way that they only do with each other.
Also, nice to see the even though the joke knocked Ian over, he got back up again. I was worried that the joke would have kept him down.
idk how Courtney can look in Chanse’s biblically accurate eyes
The best part was the silence when Barney comes in at the end credits and Courtney and Chanse look horrified and Anthony and Chumbawumbas #1 fan are just losing it 😂😂😂😂
24:46 Anthony bumping his face up and down in the water was and still is the greatest clip of all time
bro that shit had me crying also it’s at 25:46
Guys, just know, even though Ian lost a friend, he gets knocked down, you won't be able to keep him down, because he always has chumbawumba
Weirdly it's like Anthony and Chumbawumba's #1 watching their own teenage sons goofing off in videos. I can feel their sincere affection for their own past. Love it!
I can’t wait for 2023 Food Battle, with Ian’s new favorite food: Chumbawumba
Same
18:11 seeing Anthony and Ians reaction as they know whats coming is priceless
I love that you can tell chance and Anthony really get along and chance is so invested and fascinated in the history of smosh and UA-cam.
he seemed extremely uninterested to me
I'm pretty sure he's mainly there to meet Chumbawamba's biggest fan
I don't see it. I just see a comedian trying real hard to make content next to someone who barely understands the medium. Just look at the moment when Chance tries to deduce why Ian didn't believe Anthony about his girlfriend, and Ian awkwardly responds "..... its acting". Ian seems really done with chance.
@@sergiomonty he misunderstood one thing..... it's not a big deal lol
I love Chance getting more and more flabbergasted by repeated 2016 memes from Food Battle 2016 after the Dabbing Harambe bit XDDDDDDDD
He was STRUGGLING at 46:47
It's so great Anthony got to be best friends with Chumbawumba's #1 fan, Ian Hecox
17:25 Chanse: Okay, work!
Anthony: It worked!
Two different statements lol
I love how y’all “apologized” to the podcast listeners even though they wouldn’t see it while listening to the podcast
They were referring to the audio that they were hearing. Way dirtier without the visual. LOL
@scarlettmi yes, you are right, but they wouldn't be able to see the apology, since they are listening only.
@@DaisyElf508 OMG I don’t know how I picked up on the one part and completely blanked on that?! LOLOL
@@scarlettmi i didn't think about it either till i saw this comment lmao but it's so much funnier now
And jet they didn't apologise to Ian for cutting out all his Chumbawamba references
That moment when Anthony says “Oh you figured it out daddy.” To the the number one Chumbawumba fan sitting there was really funny😂
Ian was just as excited for Food Battle as he is for Chumbawamba, as their #1 fan of course.
32:52 😂😂 Ian wasn’t ready
Chanse was like well I made my boss uncomfortable 😂😂
Was looking for this
chumbawumba's biggest fan is back again , thank you Ian for supporting small and upcoming bands
I love how they didn't explain the Barney bit to Chance and Courtney and just let them experience it and immediately moved on.
I like how the editor writes “Sorry podcast listeners” as if they will hear it.
I love how invested Chanse is in watching these 💀
Food battles may have been absent for a few years, but Ian's love for chumbawamba will never go away
The poetry of both Ian and Anthony dropping the donut, only to have them both land closer to each other. Sometimes letting go is what it takes to realize the bonds are there even when you don't tug and pull.
So glad that even though Ian and Anthony's relationship was rocky there for a bit, you can never keep them down! Even if they get knocked down, they'll get up again! You ain't ever gonna keep them down!
I love the irony of the text saying "Sorry podcast listeners"
i love how the 3 of them are trying to find deep meaning behind everything while Ian is like it aint that deep bruh, i relate
Chanse saying that Courtney has pretty eyes was cute 🙊🥺
Nearly had me crying at the end, I’m so glad Ian and Anthony found their ways back to each other 🥰🥰
Chanse defending the sketches as art makes me really happy
46:29 Chance being shocked at Keith & Shayne’s bit is taking me out 😭😭
Chumbawumba’s #1 fan has honestly created such good content with his friend Anthony 👏
Their friendship is so beautiful, it got knocked down, and it got back up again. Clearly, Ian learned from the words of his favorite band Chumbawumba
I love Ian and Anthony back together! It’s like when your divorce parents get married again and are actually happy!
Love how Anthony is like the ex girlfriend that came back & keeps questioning Ian & Ian doesn’t wanna answer lol “you never looked me in the eyes Ian.” “You never asked me what was wrong before” 😂
Flashback with Smosh having guests is honestly a great shakeup to the formula sometimes.
Anthony looks so honest to god emotional rewatching the ending of the food battle 2016 it causes severe emotional damage
I need more of Courtney in these flashback episodes, their giggles are *sending* me
hearing anythony’s better help ad & him not saying “bc sometimes existing is exhausting” was soooooo strange LMAO
20:17 “this sweet little chat started from Ian having a donut go down on him” 😂
Anthony constantly mouthing all the lines just warms my heart
They should do a Drink Battle between Anthony and Ian. They could do a whiskey drink, a vodka drink, a cider drink and a lager drink. Then they could sing the songs that remind them of the good times.
And the songs that remind them of the better times
I love how so many of the videos since Anthony has gotten back have been sprinkled with them healing their friendship and reminiscing on the good and bad times. It's all so real and honestly wholesome.
5:20-5:26 I would just like to thank the editors for the hardest laugh I had all week 😂👌🏼
“I don’t think you ever asked me that in real life” JESUS 😢
Good to see Anthony and Chumbawumba's biggest fan in another video together.
Man the editors are crazy on this one. "I dare you to tongue punch my fart box." At 19:41
Ian went so far to fix his friendship with Anthony and get their channel back! It’s so inspirational that Ian gets knocked down, but he gets up again.
Courtney and Chanse were great guests! Also I love how Chanse is obsessed with Ian's acting
These flashback episodes are really fun with guests
18:23 is such an amazing story in 4 panels if you just look at the facecams
Even though Ian lost his best friend, he found a new one in Chumbawamba
It's really great having guests on here! Having newer (weird calling Courtney new) members watch along to classic Smosh alongside Anthony and Chumbawumba's #1 Fan really does make things feel fresh and fun, not to mention it brings up some outsider questions
A round of applause for Ian for taking time out of his busy schedule listening to the new albums of Chumbawumba to participate on this
46:52 Chanse's hands over his mouth for a good 30 seconds giving Jennifer Anniston vibes 😂
real life analysis of past trauma live on camera i love it
Gosh, seeing the old Food Battles really take me back. So immensely happy that Anthony and Ian are back at it again! Anthony just knows how to sing the songs that remind us of the good times, and Ian knows how to sing the songs that remind us of the better times.
I so so often quote the "What do you think ink is made of? B E E F" and I'm so glad others are experiencing that joy
I like how their comments when watching 2016 is more about the interpersonal relationship issues Ian and Anthony were having at the time than the actual video
I love Chance's interest in Chumbawumba's #1 fan's history with this Smosh
Fantastic idea to add Courtney and Chance here, love their commentary added to yours!
I like that it says "sorry podcast listeners" on the screen like they'll be able to read it.
Another banger by Anthony, Chanse, Courtney, and Chumbawamba's #1 fan!
I already love these comments 😂 shayne just causing chaos even in videos he isnt in lmao
Petition to also have Ian and Anthony make eye contact.
Best video ever! I loved when Gandalf came out singing Chumbawumba, because even though he got knocked down, by the balrog, you can’t ever keep him down!
I feel weird for admitting this, but I think Anthony looks so handsome in Food Battle 2016. The wavy hair and the sweater make him look so soft and tidy.
I'm sure Shayne is sleeping in pure bliss tonight
I honestly think the first food battle is the best. It's the idea at its most pure and just feels like something I would have made with my friends when growing up.
Really glad that the rest of the cast is appearing again on the main channel! I love the duo, but they have such a strong cast to share screentime with.
i just love that the love for Chumbawumba is still strong after all these years from its #1 fan
