You guys should do a special episode where you get the people that Shayne always gets right (Courtney, Damien, Spencer, Amanda) and have them guess his top 3 favourite things that Shayne’s already guessed for them
Would love to see this. Not even just the people he always gets right. Give everyone who wants to a chance.
Yesss
guessing Erin Kushner would be hilarious
they already mentioned this in a stream, they wanna do his top 10 to give people a chance (or sth like that)
This is a great idea
i just want to thank whoever thought of mic-ing spencer up. he's such a great video partner for shayne and i always enjoy watching these two together (even though spence is just a disembodied voice in this one)
Yeah its very comforting knowing he's right there with shayne, kina like stevie for rhett and link
@@sierrarae1316 the crisp mic quality is honestly what made me think of stevie lol
Probably Spencer because he directed this video.
Spencer with the deep cut referencing Brian’s Winter too! The secret that haunted Brian in the first book was that he saw his mom with another man
Especially helpful so I don't have to suddenly try to pay attention to the subtitles when I hear his muffled voice from off screen
Spencer saying "my mom loves that book" and then its Amanda is SO funny, pure mom energy
I was about to say this. There were no jokes, it's just that he went straight to guessing it's Amanda that made it incredibly hilarious. 😂
The little “author unknown :(“ on Harry Potter made me cackle
But Ender's Game still has the author and he's even worse than JK 😬
@@rubenhumbertoroquesalas2273 very true, but Orson Scott Card's controversies aren't as publicized as JK Rowling's so there is a good chance that whoever made the slides may not have been aware.
@@moviesquad73 can you give me a quick runthrough of his controv?
He's also not still actively causing harm with his rhetoric like she loves to
Why? It’s disrespectful.
ian and anthony both choosing silly books to help shayne out is so adorable
They’re good dads
omg it's smosh and grab
Whaddup smosh n grab
This comment made for a plot twist when the first silly one was narrowed to them but ended up Trevor
Off topic I’m living for ur videos ❤
The hottest thing about Shayne is definitely that he is a reader, nothing better than a man that knows literature.
I'd argue that his empathy and compassion are his most attractive attributes, but that's just me 😅
His muscles are hot too though 😅
Really everything about him is hot
i love these replies kmfaoo 😭😭😭
Reading is for those who want to escape reality, what’s so great about it?
Spencer mic’d up makes me feel like he’s the mom recording her son on Christmas. 12/10 for this. Please do it again
Suggestions for Shayne guesses:
- Have photos of parents and guess the child. E.g. Courtney's parents and need to guess Courtney is their child
- Podcasts
- Favourite animals
- Movie snack
The parents thing is iffy though because if he’s met the parents then that makes the game slightly unfair
Grandparents!
shayne guesses their favourite parents?
and the crew can all choose eachother's parents
@@FireWolf583 he's probably only met a few of their parents though, it's not that different from how he's usually talked to a few of them about their favorites in the category
What about fav cuisines
Ok but when is Shayne guessing people based on the content of their Fridges!
Or bags/purses
Alright but seriously, when is Shayne guessing people based on their medication history.
WE NEED THIS
ok but when is Shayne guessing people based on their faces
Shayne guessing people’s hands lmaooo
Shayne saying he's gotta smoke a joint and read hungry hungry caterpillar was something I never thought I'd hear
But did you immediately go do it? If not it’s worth a try 🧐
@@garrettiverson6762Least addicted weed user
is that like an alice in wonderland reference?
@@cseve8801judgmental much? sounds like you need a joint 😂
we need to see it
I love how in all these videos not only does he nail Damien and Courtney pretty much immediately, he literally never even brings up their name for any set but their own. He just easily knows their tastes on all things.
It warms my heart learning and Shayne confirming that Ian reads leadership books. It's no wonder why Smosh has thrived to this day and everyone feels like a family. Nothing but respect for Chumbawamba's No. 1 fan.
Amanda being part of the Oprah Book of the Month club isn’t surprising to me in the slightest, total mom energy
It's impossible to imagine Amanda reading a book without a glass of wine.
gives the same vibe as being subscribed to People magazine 😂
When Shayne said “my mom likes those books/that book” and I was like oh it’s Amanda she’s the mom
@@Mack2279That was Spencer.
@@PredatorH2O oh I thought it was another part that he said that
Spencer: my mom really loved the covenant of water
Shayne: This is definitely Amanda
Lmao
i thought twilight was Amanda lol
I watch Smosh videos with my teenage daughter, so I'm probably not your target demographic, but I really appreciate this video! Y'all are role models for a lot of young people (oh, I can feel years being added to my age as I type this) and it's fantastic that you are intentionally (?) encouraging your viewers to read more. Whoever came up with the idea for this video, you are AWESOME! Thank you!
Cute comment, so wholesome!
loved this comment. love that you take such an interest in your daughter's interests! You're a good parent!
spencer's joke about rosencrantz & gildenstern being based off of lion king 1 1/2 is WILDLY underrated
“Sorry to let you down, Brontë fans.” That’s a line I never expected to hear in a Smosh Games video.
Oh wow, this is a Smosh Games video!
As a fan of Charlotte Brontë but not Emily Brontë I felt very let down 😂 Shayne please read Jane Eyre, it’s a classic!
I’ve never met anyone that was a fan of all the Brontë sisters, and I think that’s a good thing. If you don’t favor one Brontë over another, then I can’t trust you
@@nairocamiloi was confused too, i always look forward to the games days and this video for me gives smosh pit vibes somehow😂
SMART JOKE
Idk why but this series is so sweet to me. Like it just shows how much Shayne pays attentions and listens to his coworkers and friends. He takes who they are to heart and then is able to use that knowledge of them for this.
He probably is most senior member of Smosh after Ian. I think he is also one of the few cast that is not contract working.
@jo_winston Smosh cast yeah but Idk about crew...
It's also fun because we can jokingly say "putting that Psychology degree to use!" 😂
@@jo_winston I’m pretty sure he was actually the last of the original 5 of the “Smosh Squad” to join actually
and there are also quite a lot of people. not just a team of 7 people or something. i love the series. he really is one of the best!
19:23
as a Swede, hearing Spencer say "En man som heter Ove" is hilarious
I mean his pronunciation is pretty good for an American
Shayne seems like he must be a fantastic friend. He remembers a LOT of what people say.
I would love for them to throw in Shayne's top 3 as one of the slides just so we can see what he likes and have him talk about them, or even just have Shayne cover all of his faves in a separate standalone video
The reverse game, where the entire cast and crew have to work together to figure what any of Shayne's Top 3 of anything is
Yes @@Scrofar
@@Scrofar a plot twist they should do in the next video were shayne guesses everything. The cast should secretly add in some of shaynes favriotes without shayne knowing.
They did that on the video game one
@user-rg7rh4rs7h That would be really interesting. It would be funny if he answers someone else and then his name and face pops up.
This series is just shayne flexing that he is a very attentive friend.
And we all watch because we all want a friend like Shayne.
Or is he a very attentive friend because of this series...?
It’s actually so wholesome how well Shayne knows everyone
Okay but I think I need Shayne as a BookTok content creator because I can hear his book recommendations for hours
My favourite thing about this series, aside from it being awesome, is that I'm now starting to be able to guess cast and crew solely based on everything that's been shared by Shayne and the team, and the picture we're getting and that's being built, so it's becoming so much fun to play along and guess as well, and get a decent amount right. Like, this series is such a good way of fleshing out everyone at Smosh!
i instantly recognized trevor
I am, too. I knew a couple of them and was able to guess Damien, Amanda and Angela right away.
First book: "Algebra 3"
Startin' off hot.
HILARIOUS start
That’s Olivia for you
First ones better
@@Jabbberwocky you mean algebra 1 lol?
First off: Shayne saying he loves Madeline Miller books made me appreciate him even more, oh my.
I only have gotten into reading like 4 years ago, but my favorite books (so far) are Jane Eyre, The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo and If We Were Villains. Honorable mentions: The ACOTAR series, Stoner by J. Williams and Zoo Station: The Story of Christiane F.
If you haven't, read Neon God's/aomlumpus series by Katee Roberts. I recommend this series to all my ACOTARs peeps
@@anonymoususer5853 I've never heard of it, to be honest! Will write it down, tho. Thank you! :)
Love that Shane pointed out how derivative Eragon is. For writing that well as a homeschooler teen it’s is a good series. You can tell what Paolini was reading and watching at the time of writing, ie, Tolkien, David Eddings, Star Wars., etc.
As a librarian, the fact this was posted on my birthday is HEAVENLY AAAA
Happy bday
Happy birthday!!! 🎉
Happy Birthday!
Happy birthday!!!
happy birthday!!:3
Trevor "Sex for Dummies" Evarts never fails to get under Shayne's skin
Lol. I wish they would start calling Trevor, "Sex for Dummies" on videos. Hilarious!
Shayne using his Psychology major for one thing and one thing only. Analyzing his co-workers/friends.
A interesting guessing idea would be to guess everyone's deathrow meal.
we should get a definitive Shayne's top 3 at the end of these
I just need a series where there’s a little Smosh book club lead by Shane where part of the cast and crew (and fans if they want) read a book every month and then there’s a video where they talk about it. Fans could vote on the books every month.
I would die if he did this! I would sign up immediately!
I would be there so fast
For sure!!!
I need this in my life
This is such a banger of an idea
The fact that he knows so much about the people around him, even the people he doesn’t know that well, tells me that Shayne is a kind listener and an unbelievable processor of information. Even when he got one wrong, multiple times, his second choice was the correct answer
True, in addition to that this is him putting his psych degree to work.
19:24 oh my gods as a Swedish person hearing Spencer say “en man som heter Ove” is incredible. He sounds like he’s speaking German and I genuinely didn’t realise that he was saying the book title for like a second
The first two words were definitely German "ein Mann".
Because I, as a German, was confused too.
Kudos to Shayne that was the trickiest one to overcome. I haven’t of nearly half of these books, I’ve been out of the literature world for a while. Again congrats to Shayne, plus it was really great to hear Spencer crystal clearly in one of these for once.
shayne not knowing 'flowers for algernon' is hella surprising
Nah bc I just had to read that for school
im actually surprised he didn't know that one too.
Can’t win ‘em all
Dude needs to pick up a book
Ya crazy... sooo what's that book about, you know for people that don't read.... like me 😂
Hearing Spencer say “have you ever seen Lion King 1 1/2” sent chills down my spine I ask people that ALL THE TIME and no one has seen it😭
I've seen it too but none of my friends have either!!
that was one of my favorite movies as a kid i used to watch it on repeat haha
SAME ONE OF THE BEST DISNEY SEQUELS EVER
@@zoelaviolette6945 YES THANK YOU YOU GET ME
@@slowghostly same!!!
I think this was his best one yet, man knows his books and the friends who read them
Okay my top 3 in no order in particular:
1. Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins
2. The Son of Neptune by Rick Riordan
3. No Time Like the Future by Michael J. Fox
Honorable mentions go to Othello and the Play that Goes Wrong
Your top two books are the same as mine, except I have 'Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo' by Taylor Jenkins Reid as my third favourite book. Love your taste!!!!
I'm just so happy to have Olivia mentioned at all especially as a coworker, she's been out of videos for so long
EDIT: OLIVIA IS BACK I REPEAT OLIVIA IS BACK!!!!
SAME
Courtney once mentioned that when you take for example a week off for whatever reason you won’t be in a lot of videos because they shoot so many videos in a week. Maybe Olivia is just taking a break and we are barely seeing her compared to how long she’s actually gone
Olivia isn’t a full time smosh member, so she may not have to be there all the time either
Thank god lol
yeah same
Everytime Kiana is mentioned it’s about the sheer amount of media she consumes and I NEED a video series of her gives us her favorites of the month lol
same
Welcome to this month’s episode of “Shayne shows that he is very attentive to his friends and coworkers”
The "Author Unknown" on Harry Potter was FANTASTIC
Lmao i missed that
"my mom loved that book" ok its amanda
I can't believe Chumbawamba's #1 fan talked to Shayne about being called Chumbawamba's #1 fan

For the holidays they should do a Shayne Clause Guesses where people submit the top 3 things on their christmas list
This is my favourite Smosh series. I feel like Shayne would be such a good friend and fully listen even if you were telling him the most boring things or telling him something you already told him previously
When Spencer said “My mom loved The Covenant of Water” I immediately thought of Amanda.
some ideas:
favourite take out/fast food orders
favourite smosh main sketch
fave apps
fave emojis
fave breakfast food
fave games (video, pc, mobile, board game, card game etc.)

also pls make a shayne's book club show like once a month maybe about the books he read or wants to read i would eat that s up
Shayne knowing and loving Circe and Song of Achilles makes me love him SOOOO much more
I think my favorite thing about out this series is how much Shayne knows the people he works with. It’s an incredible quality.
Same, but there's also his insane media literacy. Even if he knew his coworkers like the back of his hand, he wouldn't do nearly as well in these.
i really don't wanna judge people based on their favorite books but i see a colleen hoover book-
Literally my first thought before I clicked on the video was how many people would have a Colleen Hoover “book” 😭💀
sameeeee T_T
and where the crowdads sing .... I was ..nope
@@MinnieJuce those two books BAFFLED ME as well! colleen is the worse writer, sure, but the shit the author of where the crawdads sing got up to 😭 their book slack urgently needs an emergency meeting
Verity is the only good colleen hoover book and it was really good
This was really a wonderful way to find out about new books. I've been in such a rut reading the same 6 series for the last year and a half, unable to find new things to catch my interest. I now have 5 new series to check out and I'm thrilled. I also remembered that i absolutely loved six of crows, so I'll read that again once I've gotten out of this rut. Thanks guys and great job Shayne!
I'd be interested to see Shane do one of these videos with people he's just met. Like, he gets 10-15 minutes to interview them on anything but their taste in books and then has to match them up with a top three on limited info and vibes.
Shayne appreciating Circe and The Song of Achilles just made me love him even more 😩✊
I'm so excited every time Madeline Miller books get the hype they deserve. I got to work for her step dad and she is a great person and a great author
I've recommended Circe to basically any reader I know
Those books are overhyped by straight white women and "ally" men. I can't trust people who put them as their favorite books 😬
NO FR I WAS LIKE DAMN
sameeee
As a Swede, I have to give a shoutout to Spencer for trying to say “En man som heter Ove - A man called Ove” but says “A man that eats Ove 🤣 19:23
I keep meaning to read that book, it's my Mor Mor's favorite and she's always recommending it haha
These videos are incredible and Shayne is a beast at these every time.
We recommend you guys have him try to guess people's LEAST favorites in categories you've done already. That would be interesting to see Shayne try to guess AND to see what the cast/crew dislikes.
That "did they make it Ti-Gana" joke is f**king incredible haha
*"Be a kickass boss without losing your humanity"* I love Ian so much
Shayne is so impressive in all of these. Not only is he observant of his coworkers and friends, but he genuinely seems to know about them. Even when he is wrong, he almost always narrows it down to two and one is always right.
i would totally watch shayne guessing who’s the baby picture!! not toddler, but small baby. would be super hard, and would he’d have to use a lot of context clues
The "author unknown" hit good
I love how they keep upping their game on the slideshows for these guessing videos. The nametags being akin to library slips is such an awesome touch.
love this series where shayne tries to get a good grade in knowing his friends, which is both normal to want and possible to achieve
I would totally listen to an audiobook narrated by Shayne either in his own voice or in The Chosen's
1. Star Risk, LTD - Chris Bunch
2. All the Weyrs of Pern - Anne McCaffery
3. A Door Into Summer - Robert Heinlein
If you guys are doing another guessing video, I got a couple suggestions:
1. You’ve done favorites, so how about everyones 3 least favorite movies.
2. Because of Board AF, how about guessing everyone’s 3 favorite board games.
Hot take(?) : Shayne guessing stuff is my favourite smosh series
This series is the only series I watch on the Smosh games channel. I love pit and Smosh Mouth but Shayne Guesses is my number 1 series that I will always watch
Watching the cast read books and react would be the best lo-fi chill out content
I enjoyed this watch; it's fun and endearing to see the bond between the people on the team and Spencer is such a great video partner for these "Shayne guesses" videos!
If youtube valued the analytic of "which video made the most people have a crush on shayne" this would be smosh's best video
6:58 “have you read the mistborns?” BEST PICKUP LINE EVER
Came to the comments to see who mentioned Mistborn! I was going, "Yes! I have! All of them. What's your favorite moments from Way of Kings?!"
@@ladylupo7091Best moment in WoK is when certain character says "I'm fucking your mother, get used to it"
@@ladylupo7091 I love Mistborn! My favorite moment from Way of Kings was when those cultist dudes sacrificed one of them to teleport. Metal AF.
I am a stick!
@@CptZargon She just wants a fire...
The Night Circus is hands down the best book i’ve ever read, absolutely ADORE IT and it’s criminal how few people i find that have read it
44:08 Spencer is so real for his Harry Potter opinions
ian looking very babygirl again in that photo
He’s our favourite macha girlie
Shayne needs to guess people by their favorite characters.
ohh yes i like this one
Maybe this series is just seeing how well Shayne can listen to his friends/coworkds and remember about them
It’s so wonderful to me how much Shayne cares about his friends’ interests. Also I fucking love reading, I wanna be his friend lol.
Honestly, I think he deserves a half point anytime he gets it down to two people and the right one is one of them, even if he gets it wrong
I laughed so hard at the little “author unknown :(“ over Harry Potter 😂
why did they do that? genuinely curious
@@CicilyBoby prolly because JK Rowling is not a great person/is pretty controversial these days with her views on trans people etc
@@CicilyBobycause JK Rowling is a terf
@@surzeekanimations ah thanks
Accurate
I’m so excited for this!! Lots of these are going on my GoodReads!
erin was so real for the care of keeping you. immediately knew only she would put something so iconic
Damn Shayne kinda got them all right cause he would say the correct person right after submitting the wrong person 💀
idk why but trevor gives me ian + tommy love child vibes. shayne saying ian instead of trevor just confirmed it more for me lol
honestly this video made me so attracted to shayne hahah this series is probably one of my faves as of lately
my picks probably would've been pachinko, battle royale and a little life
I would like to thank Shayne and Smosh because for the past few months, I have been playing this game at work for our weekly team-builders, and it has been an absolute blast.
Have the cast & crew bring in 3 items unique to them and guess them. It would be like asking each Smosh Member to empty their pockets and guess who the items belong to :)
do you remember that show n tell thing they did on Twitch back in the day? where the item may or may not have actually been theirs & they were trying to trick whoever was guessing
I freaking love the hatchet and I find it hilarious that that's what remained in Shayne's memory and not all the cool wildlife stuff! The moose part always stays in head for example. The secret by the way is that he saw his mum cheating if I recall.
These are one of my favorite videos!! I love the guessing each other games
It's so crazy that shayne comes sooo close to guessing some of these people and then overthinks it. He is just so observant it blows my mind.
Okay but Shayne doing an impersonation of Erin, while they deadass have on the exact same outfit, made my brain feel like 🫨
Definitely can’t tell you work together lmaooo
One moment talking about Heinlein contemporaries and the next learning about "romantasy" for the first time might be the most Spencer-y that Spencer has ever Spencered.
Loved seeing "We Had a Little Real Estate Problem" in the episode. Great book. Even though it's not tribe specific (or in some ways perhaps BECAUSE it's not) really helped me feel more connected to my indigenous heritage; something that was denied to me as a kid because of my mixed ethnicity (Cuban & two indigenous tribes) and growing up raised by assimilated natives due to blood quantum. I feel like my great grandfather, who was the only connection I really had to my indigenous ancestry, would have really loved it despite it being about cultural connection through comedy and him practically being the template for the "stoic, humorless indian" trope/stereotype.
"author unknown" absolutely kills me 😂
I saw someone else suggest this, but you should totally do cast and crew “starter packs”! Throw together a graphic of stuff they love and guess who it is…that would be PERFECT
100% agree that would be so fun!!
I've been begging for months to do a guess my favorite books. So thank you so so so much everyone at Smosh! This video truly made my day!
I loved this one as well. I would like: a book one again with manga allowed; manga, comics, and least favorite books
I thought about this, and I think I would go:
- Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban based purely on having read it the most times of any book I’ve ever read (5,5 times)
- Pride and Prejudice
- Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe
I love that 90% of these videos are just Shayne and Spencer vibing over whatever the topic is.
