He himself probably felt like he could have left...like Ian really found thus whole crew, had to be the guy who held things together for years after defy went down, grew the crew and even probably had to lay off people when they weren't sure on their financial stability and even when viewership was going down.

@@WilscoAnthony and Ian are the "divorced dads" that the op of this comment is talking about. Since Anthony left Smosh, it felt like Anthony divorced Ian and left. And Courtney has been on Smosh since the mid 2010s. Anthony left Smosh in 2017 and fans thought it'd be possible for them to reunite with each other for years which is why the op said "who I've been trying to get back together." The "actually got back together" part is when Ian and Anthony reunited and bought Smosh. There's a whole announcement about it on the main Smosh channel. There's even a podcast with Amanda and Shayne called "SmoshCast" with Courtney which talked about Ian and Anthony buying Smosh and how the cast and crew didn't know about it until Ian announced it inside the office.
Courtney almost crying every time Ian and Anthony have a best friend moment is the absolute best part of Anthony's comeback. She is such a fangirl and I love it.
@@lumomagus I felt the same but about Chance though I hope they're all adjusting to it easily and not feeling too anxious or just shy or whatever (cuz I would but that's just me xD)
@@Vic-Valentine And they bought the channel. I swear if they bring back the SHUT UP sound, or that one music that plays movies, video games, internet actually realistic. I'll be crying.
I saw a lot of people on Twitter saying they thought Ian was an asshole, but.....that's far from the truth. Imagine having no room to grieve the loss of your friend AND the wack-ass company shutting down and you've been adopted by 2 Mythical Dads to help you rebuild, having NO IDEA if it'll be worth it or not. I'm so glad Ian is happy again. This is the best part aside from having Anthony back: Happy Ian
@@sentientplant9658 right??? ian's a freaking hero for powering through all that and keeping things together. he's a dumbass when it comes to expressing his emotions but he clearly cares a lot
Angela spiraling after her Ian comment is so relatable. You can see she felt really bad after. And Ian along with everyone reassuring her after is so nice.
Yessss that was so relatable. Shes so sweet, caring and funny. Also I think everyone has such good aesthetic these days that it was a hard choice but it did take Ian the longest to start caring more about clothes and that's understandable because not everyone cares about aesthetic so much but he's been looking good with his new style lately:) but since everyone else had cool, established looks for longer, it makes sense she said Ian even though he's stepping up the style
@@alexmatthews2695 it doesn't matter if she sat with them before, the comment was refering how she's fangirling, and also excited that the duo is back. It never said that Courtney never sat with them before.
Watching Ian start feeling himself and clearly being supported by his oldest friend is so wholesome. He started being known as the downer or weirdo but now it looks like he's genuinely happier because Anthony is there for and with him. I'm so excited to see how new new smosh will grow with their friendship at the helm.
Ian def seems to have a new sense of self and it's wonderful to see him reclaim a lot of his energy it feels like. He feels much more present and invested. Glad to see things are turning around for him!
i love the contrast of the whole cast making old jokes about ian for years to anthony coming in and immediately clarifying "i'm the oldest and that's ok" is so funny to me lmao
I’m not gonna lie, the vibe of the videos has gotten so much happier and positive since Anthony came back. I’m part of the "New Smosh" fanbase, but I’m glad Ian and Anthony have custody of their baby back. Everyone seems so much happier, have high hopes for the future.
Yeah exactly, for a while smosh felt almost soulless, it felt like the smosh members were tired and saw smosh as a job and not as fun! Since Anthony returned the feeling of "old smosh" has already came back, it's scary how quickly Anthony's presence has changed Smosh for the better!
@@ashtonacher Wha- how? I mean, I can see how everything felt soulless during their defy days, but the chemistry between the cast and crew had gotten so much better post-COVID, especially with the inclusion of Arasha, Chanse, and Angela.

@Vdrum1010 I wouldn't say it was completely soulless and ofc there was lots of chemistry but I mean like I haven't seen smosh has THIS level of excitement and soul since before Anthony left
Her “spiraling” comment was from the first moose master video where everyone reacted negatively to a rule she made up in the game. She’s a little ball of doubt I love her😅
Arasha put it best, Angela is "super nuts and super sweet with such a specific type of crazy which is loveable and endearing." And she's absolutely my favorite now.
I'm glad that Courtney has gotten to be in most of the new videos with Anthony and Ian because she's always been such a big fan, and you can see she's having a good time.
Wasn’t she the most critical of the old Smosh and constantly talked about how much she didn’t like it? She even directed a video criticizing the old Smosh called Ian misses the old smosh
@@thewierddoodIt's one thing to be critical about old Smosh content, it's another thing to be supportive of a genuine friendship between the two. Obviously old Smosh videos were problematic and it's okay to call that out. But she's always been a fan of them as a duo moving on to bigger and better things
@@thewierddood She was also fan of old smosh back when she was teenager but then she grew up, so did Ian and Anthony. Kind of normal sequence of events. Besides, everybody at Smosh is critical of some aspects of old Smosh. That includes Shayne, Damien and even Ian.
@@maczetamaczeta189 And tbf, Courtney also has said they mainly watched the Behind the Scenes videos they use to do. So they've always been more invested in Ian and Anthony's friendship lol
Alright let's all be honest Shayne's just being humble I'm pretty sure he would crush everybody there in a weightlifting competition I mean look at the dude, he's a unit
I love that Anthony & Ian are keeping the other channels the same & not just fully starting fresh. A lot of the content in the interim has been great & I'm glad to see what people liked about the "post-Anthony" era is being preserved but with Anthony present.
It's like they're running through all the shows that people were requesting Anthony be a guest on at once. I'm glad they're not changing all that now that they've got their child back. I feel like the "New Smosh" was really finding their vibes.
I noticed that too, he’s much less melancholic and more animated. I’m enjoying it a lot, and it seems the cast is gradually working out the chemistry, but in a promising way.
You know, it's funny, I noticed in the past few months that something had changed about him. I also feel like he's been in fewer videos (probably figuring stuff out financially, so he had to step back a bit). I really did think there was a big change coming to Smosh, but there was NO way I could have ever guessed this was coming
It’s so funny seeing how everyone reacts to Anthony being back. We got everything from acting like dad came home with the milk, to wondering who this strange man is.
"Who thinks their jobs are funnier than they are?" Cue shayne knowing it's absolutely 1000% him and questioning his life choices. His face journey was amazing
Shayne should still host, and it should be a mix of New Smosh and Old Smosh questions so Anthony also gets tested on how much he's watched since he's been gone!
@@secretforreddit I feel like he's made it pretty clear that he completely avoided Smosh during his time away lmao, I doubt he'd know anything specific
Also Anthony and Ian basically hired Courtney and Shayne and Shayne was one of the first ones to be included in the sketches, so if I can guess, Shayne is more honored than anything and respects them both.
damn, I find her really annoying. I love everyone else (other than the guy in the green shirt idk him) but she’s just rly irritating to me, i’m not saying anyone else can’t find her funny, but personally i’d find it funnier without her.
@@WiredLain_ I agree. I think her constantly bringing up the style thing was too much. Ian could’ve been a little hurt by that question and could’ve wanted to just move on from it, but she just kept bringing it up over and over again for laughs. Girl, just let it go.
@@crystala7x182 She didn't do it for the laughs, but because she was genuinely embarrassed and couldn't hold herself back from cringing. Very human way to react. You get the regrets, the cold sweats, the anxiety kicks in, you start overthinking it, and before you know it you've spiraled out and get stuck in a state of perpetually cringing at yourself and apologizing. Like holy fuck, the part where she blurted out that Ian was an "easy answer"? If I was in her shoes, I'd just want to disintegrate on the spot lol
Ian has seriously taken on the role of the caring father to all his wild children. I love his relationship with chanse, angela and arasha. He gives vibes that even though theyre newer, he always wants them to feel included even if they dont get the inside joke. Its so sweet and makes me so happy
I relate to Ian being the most chill unchill person. I am very nervous and antsy around people, yet I am still extremely laid back - perk of being an anxious introvert stoner.
Definitely feel like Ian and Anthony should go on Hot Ones for real. Cycle through their usual celebrity, actor, athlete, UA-camr demographic. They represent such an important decade for UA-cam.
@@Bourdaine27 they have 10 Million more subscribers than the Hot Ones channel, and 10M more than MKBHD and he was on. But go off, you’re right. Not famous enough.
They still represent youtube which i love! Anthony has like 7 mil subs and has been killing it with his interviews! Now he is back with smosh and it is like wow!
@@whitehuayra it essentially means to overthinking something, like in Angela's case, she said she thought Ian didn't have the best aesthetic, but she later regret it and felt bad, but even though she already apologized and no one minded, Ian included, and forgave her, she was still thinking abt it, silently wondering why she even answered, maybe wondering if Ian secretly felt a little hurt (I'm not claiming to know what Angela was thinking, those are usual common thoughts for everyone) and that's what it means to spiral, cuz you keep going down in your head ykmow? Hope this made sense and helped :>
Ian and Anthony own Smosh again, and Anthony is calling him his best friend... It feels like the world is healing and all troubles are disappearing (which couldn't be farther to the truth, but it just feels that way)
I don't know if this makes sense but Anthony being back has also made me realise how much Courtney and Shayne have grown and come in to their own within Smosh (Damien too). From being cast to almost taking on leadership roles and more responsibilities, it's really nice to see this but also that the dynamic hasn't changed too much on screen.
😭😭 lmaoooo yes as someone who’s been subscribed to them since 2007, it’s surreal they’re gonna be 36. I’ve seen their videos since I was 8 and they were 19-20. Time goes by fast.
@@atrainofthought99 time really does go by fast😭 I was a casual viewer here & there in like 2010-2012 but I REALLY got into them in about 2013/14 when they were like 26-27 like WOW
the chain and the glasses have really done the job for enhancing Ian's style/looks. but lowkey he also just looks happier/more relaxed in the last several vids
yeah, he's been giving deadbeat dad for a while. and I don't mean like, bad father. I mean dad who's trying his best but is constantly stressed out and overwhelmed and struggling to look after himself because he has so many concerns that take priority. and over this last year that has been improving. but since Anthony is back, it just flipped completely and he just seems to be enjoying this ride.
I love the relationship Courtney, Anthony, and Ian have, and I love how even though it's been a long time since they've all been together it doesn't seem like anything has changed. Courtney is their child
@@kylemansur6853 oh for sure, I've always liked the relationship she and Ian have had it's always felt like he was a father figure to her, and now that Anthony is back it seems like him and Courtney also have a father and daughter dynamic.
I'm a New Smosh fan, but I gotta say Anthony returning feels like a hole has been filled that I wasn't aware of until he came back. There's a vibe and energy that sinks in so well
Like Chanse have taught us, a lot of young people don't know who Anthony is. They're prolly gonna have him in every series, with every cast combination for the first few weeks to reintroduce him and his chemistry with the casts
I love Angela's energy and humor. Not all of her jokes stick. She just says the first thing that comes to mind and no one really laughs but I relate to that. Lol. Her energy tho is great. Lol.
I relate to Angela more and more everyday. The spiraling is so real, and tbh the question was out of EVERYONE there and it is steep competition in that room.
Shayne and Courtney saying they don’t like 1 on 1 chilling but living together and engaged and covering for it is great. Also 19:35 the zoom in at Shayne’s YEAH at Courtney saying she kills herself with spicy food was great. So many signs in retrospect
Seeing Anthony call Ian his best friend again is such a full circle moment that it fills my heart because now it’s genuine again and you can tell they both love each other in a new and mature way❤
It makes me so happy to see the boys back together. Basically grew up on smosh. And when the media company bought them and the content didn't grow up with me it was so strange. But as an adult watching these new videos brings me so much joy. Hope you guys have faith in yourself and know your fans support you so much
@@wheresmymoneydenny other than marcus. if marcus was in the room, shayne's verifiably weaker than he is. not by much, but enough that marcus is also an escape hatch.
Might be a "it's not that deep" type of situation, but I get the feeling Shanye was less explosive in this video than usual, since he didn't want to steal the shine away with Anthony having returned.
I'm so happy to see Anthony back. The whole vibe of the cast and the videos has also definitely changed and become more vibrant for sure. But it still feels so surreal to see him. And then suddenly it feels like he never left
8:29 I love that Angela immediately made the face of "If you don't choose me we have a problem" when talking about trash talking 😂😂😂 And I LOVE the fact that we finally get a video with Chanse and Anthony!
Ian and Courtney have been all smiles since Anthony came back. The nostalgia is crazily fun to watch. Looking forward to seeing Chanse, Angela, Amanda and Arasha getting to know Anthony and bonding with him over time... 😁🖤
Chanse and Anthony bonding during this is so sweet. Glad to see the new new cast in there with the OGs for this, the vibes are awesome. This is gonna be a lot of fun!
i love anthony and ian's friendship so much. their new videos really shows how much they care about each other bc they show vulnerability :'( so proud and happy smosh is back ...
Anthony was definitely the Charisma and perfectionist of Smosh. Ian had the goofiness and passion, but Anthony definitely helped keep everything on course.
I love how this era has basically started with " Make Anthony do EVERY show we've ever made since he left"
It's probably great for content. Plus it's great it seems the whole company is taking Anthony back so well. Like, it could have gone very badly with Ian really struggling for years. He himself probably felt like he could have left...like Ian really found thus whole crew, had to be the guy who held things together for years after defy went down, grew the crew and even probably had to lay off people when they weren't sure on their financial stability and even when viewership was going down.
I can't wait for Ian and Anthony to bring back their food battle series...in HD. That was a freaking classic series
I love it so much. It's a great and fun way for Anthony and the newer cast and crew to get to know each other. And also Chanse finally knows who Anthony is. 😊

to be fair, ian also acted the oldest for a long time with the bummer ian schtick he had going with just spurting out random dark facts.
The entertainment doesn't even come from how spicy the sauce is, these are just really likable people

Oh yeah ngl I love them all in their own ways. Most endearing members to me are courtney, damien and angela. Also Jackie sometimes

You know, it's funny, I noticed in the past few months that something had changed about him. I also feel like he's been in fewer videos (probably figuring stuff out financially, so he had to step back a bit). I really did think there was a big change coming to Smosh, but there was NO way I could have ever guessed this was coming
I almost teared up at the end when they toasted their nuggets
“To 50 more years of Smosh”
“I hope so”
🥹❤🥺❤😭
Jesus said, "What you will hear in your ear, in the other ear proclaim from your rooftops.
It’s so funny seeing how everyone reacts to Anthony being back. We got everything from acting like dad came home with the milk, to wondering who this strange man is.
Courtney was old enough to remember dad, Chanse was the younger sibling who doesn't remember who he is XD
@@Vollyv Chanse was "born" after dad left 🤣🤣
"Who thinks their jobs are funnier than they are?" Cue shayne knowing it's absolutely 1000% him and questioning his life choices. His face journey was amazing
>Cue Shayne walking out from behind the camera on TNTL to defend his Fart Machine bit.
I love how Courtney has been fangirling about this reunion and Ian + Anthony's friendship. So adorable 🥰🥰
Or just faking it like always.
@@lolwut6666do you ever get tired of hating on other people😊
@lolwut6666 so sorry you're so upset with your life that you put ur insecurities on others 😔
@TN3. Apparently they don't, look at there other comments 😂 lots of negativity for sureeeeee
@@Jesus_616_Christpoor person it's probably the only way to make them feel better
Courtney is the physical representation of the old Smosh fan base 😂
I agree being a smosh fan since 2005 when it all started.
She keeps giving Anthony fuck me eyes
Totally, I’m fangirling like her😂
On TNTL it was Jackie who wanted to be in and “Old Smosh sandwich” and now it’s Courtney.
I didn’t even watch old smosh and I’m still like internally squealing and kicking my feet
C'mon with Anthony back he has to host a beopardy on smosh trivia for Angela, Arasha, Amanda and Chanse
Shayne should still host, and it should be a mix of New Smosh and Old Smosh questions so Anthony also gets tested on how much he's watched since he's been gone!
YES!!!!
Yes!!
@@secretforreddit I feel like he's made it pretty clear that he completely avoided Smosh during his time away lmao, I doubt he'd know anything specific
Replace Angela with Damien and it's S tier
“ has anyone else been engaged before?” - Anthony when Courtney and Shane were probably engaged by this point
LOLL good catch
Not so much probably. She's wearing her actual engagement ring in this very video 😂
Shayne had a mustache when they got engaged, so it would've been like August
I remember seeing Anthony’s proposal video on watchusliveandstuff 11 years ago when he and his ex had a YT channel together.
For everyone thinking Shayne is nervous around Anthony, his iconic scream started whilst doing a video with Anthony
Also Anthony and Ian basically hired Courtney and Shayne and Shayne was one of the first ones to be included in the sketches, so if I can guess, Shayne is more honored than anything and respects them both.
@@zackeatsyourcookies could also be nerves, cause of how many jokes Shayne made about Anthony being taboo on Smosh.
What vid
Which video is that from?
@@solidmoon8266 I mean I feel like Anthony knows most of that and Shayne is okay with it.
Angela's anxiety about the style question for the rest of the episode is too relatable 😂
Right😂 she’s totally me. I love her for that 😂
Dude same. She's going to be thinking about that for days.
damn, I find her really annoying. I love everyone else (other than the guy in the green shirt idk him) but she’s just rly irritating to me, i’m not saying anyone else can’t find her funny, but personally i’d find it funnier without her.
@@WiredLain_ I agree. I think her constantly bringing up the style thing was too much. Ian could’ve been a little hurt by that question and could’ve wanted to just move on from it, but she just kept bringing it up over and over again for laughs. Girl, just let it go.
@@crystala7x182 She didn't do it for the laughs, but because she was genuinely embarrassed and couldn't hold herself back from cringing. Very human way to react. You get the regrets, the cold sweats, the anxiety kicks in, you start overthinking it, and before you know it you've spiraled out and get stuck in a state of perpetually cringing at yourself and apologizing.
Like holy fuck, the part where she blurted out that Ian was an "easy answer"? If I was in her shoes, I'd just want to disintegrate on the spot lol
Ian has seriously taken on the role of the caring father to all his wild children. I love his relationship with chanse, angela and arasha. He gives vibes that even though theyre newer, he always wants them to feel included even if they dont get the inside joke. Its so sweet and makes me so happy
It's embarrassing, but before I knew who these people were I saw a video with Ian and Arasha in it, and actually thought he was her father
@@herbatazimbirem4141 okay that's awesome and not embarrassing at all. I absolutely love it 😂
@@herbatazimbirem4141that's actually so sweet!
Angela is so sweet. When she said "I'm spiraling this is the next two hours" I felt that so hard
Courtney looks so happy seeing their Dads are back together after the bitter divorce. Much Love. Family.
Hearing Anthony say that he and Ian are best friends again...god, this is never going to get old. I can't get over how amazing this is.
ian slapping his hand on anthony's knee and shaking it in the beginning - they're so familiar and comfortable, i can't stop smiling!!!!!!!!
Anthony joining SMOSH is a tragedy... for Chanse's "who's Anthony?" joke 😭
For Chanse, I don't think it was a bit.
I think he genuinely didn't know who Anthony was till they shot this.
@@SamuelDuplessis12 Yea but it quickly became a joke for him, kinda like how Tommy is the "Will guy" in funerals
@@praevidenstbh it could be even funnier now id well done
I relate to Ian being the most chill unchill person. I am very nervous and antsy around people, yet I am still extremely laid back - perk of being an anxious introvert stoner.
Me minus the stoner part
Definitely feel like Ian and Anthony should go on Hot Ones for real. Cycle through their usual celebrity, actor, athlete, UA-camr demographic. They represent such an important decade for UA-cam.
This would be amazing
What a good call
They're not famous enough lol
@@Bourdaine27 they have 10 Million more subscribers than the Hot Ones channel, and 10M more than MKBHD and he was on. But go off, you’re right. Not famous enough.
They still represent youtube which i love! Anthony has like 7 mil subs and has been killing it with his interviews! Now he is back with smosh and it is like wow!
I love Angela just openly being like “I’m spiraling” like I wanna use that more often
:c I'm old... what does spiraling mean?
@@whitehuayra it essentially means to overthinking something, like in Angela's case, she said she thought Ian didn't have the best aesthetic, but she later regret it and felt bad, but even though she already apologized and no one minded, Ian included, and forgave her, she was still thinking abt it, silently wondering why she even answered, maybe wondering if Ian secretly felt a little hurt (I'm not claiming to know what Angela was thinking, those are usual common thoughts for everyone) and that's what it means to spiral, cuz you keep going down in your head ykmow?
Hope this made sense and helped :>
@KookieDough_ oh thank you! It makes sense. I do that all the time too ;-;
@@cheezciclevery good explanation. I do this WAY too often XD. Even worse when I apologize for apologizing too much haha
Courtney’s reaction to Anthony saying Ian is his best friend is exactly the same as mine 🥹
Right? In This and the two truths one lie video, Courtney is me haha
I need a time stamp I missed it!
@@Bella-wp7wz2:13 is where he reads it
Ian and Anthony own Smosh again, and Anthony is calling him his best friend... It feels like the world is healing and all troubles are disappearing (which couldn't be farther to the truth, but it just feels that way)
I don't know if this makes sense but Anthony being back has also made me realise how much Courtney and Shayne have grown and come in to their own within Smosh (Damien too). From being cast to almost taking on leadership roles and more responsibilities, it's really nice to see this but also that the dynamic hasn't changed too much on screen.
I love Ian calling Anthony old as if he’s not also gonna be 36 this year😭
😭😭 lmaoooo yes as someone who’s been subscribed to them since 2007, it’s surreal they’re gonna be 36. I’ve seen their videos since I was 8 and they were 19-20. Time goes by fast.
@@atrainofthought99 time really does go by fast😭 I was a casual viewer here & there in like 2010-2012 but I REALLY got into them in about 2013/14 when they were like 26-27 like WOW
@@markaylaengland5603 agreed it’s insane because now I’m 24 (when they were 24, they were in their golden age - 2011 atm) and they’re 36 this year.
They're 36. In 2005 they were 18.
@@shaycormac4522 Anthony won’t be 36 until September and Ian won’t be 36 til November
the chain and the glasses have really done the job for enhancing Ian's style/looks. but lowkey he also just looks happier/more relaxed in the last several vids
I personally prefer his old glasses, but I like the chain
yeah, he's been giving deadbeat dad for a while. and I don't mean like, bad father. I mean dad who's trying his best but is constantly stressed out and overwhelmed and struggling to look after himself because he has so many concerns that take priority. and over this last year that has been improving. but since Anthony is back, it just flipped completely and he just seems to be enjoying this ride.
24:25 Shayne reading his card and Angela behind him giving the same face He makes while describing her snooping thru a phone
it’s so crazy seeing how happy and vibrant ian has become ever since they’ve reunited!!!
omg right?? like ian legit seems so happy it's so so nice
He hasn’t made a single bummer comment which is really crazy
Ikr, he actually glowing lately?? Best friend reunions will do that to ya
I LOVE Angela. She is such a great addition to the cast. She's quick-witted, she's bold, and overall hilarious.
she's great, she's hilarious bro
dont like her
And A little too loud
@@Rainydayreal_estate at first I thought the same but I like her
Jealous of her energy lol
Ian repeatedly reassuring Angela that they're fine after the style question is just :,)
whos fine what
@@TheAbandonedAccount7 Angela? And Ian? Like, this is extremely easy to understand.
@@thespankmyfrank you’re fine!
I thought she would say herself
It's just a joke, but Angela is gonna fuck Ian just to make up for her answer 🤣🤣
Ian seems so happy. My heart is full.
I love Chanse just going "Angela..." Like "don't embarrass us in front of our new dad" 😅
I HOPE Angela complimenting ians clothes/style will becoming a recurring joke lol
Anthony being back feels surreal. I can’t wait for him to be on all the shows they made while he was gone
It’s crazy that he started smosh by himself back in 2002 and now he owns it again with Ian after more then a decade
I'm excited for eat it or yeet it next week. You know he's going to be on, he has to be.
I love how at one point it turned into friends telling secrets while eating nuggies which is exactly why I love y’all.
Nobody told anything interesting let alone a secret though
I love the relationship Courtney, Anthony, and Ian have, and I love how even though it's been a long time since they've all been together it doesn't seem like anything has changed. Courtney is their child
Idk why but I feel like Courtney is the unofficial third owner of smosh. The way Anthony, Ian and Courtney bounces off each other
@@kylemansur6853 oh for sure, I've always liked the relationship she and Ian have had it's always felt like he was a father figure to her, and now that Anthony is back it seems like him and Courtney also have a father and daughter dynamic.
I'm a New Smosh fan, but I gotta say Anthony returning feels like a hole has been filled that I wasn't aware of until he came back. There's a vibe and energy that sinks in so well
It's safe to say that Anthony is gonna be in every single Smosh series on every Smosh channel there is
Can't wait for eat it or yeet it with Anthony
@@ragdethecrimsonchrist8950 Yessss totally
Like Chanse have taught us, a lot of young people don't know who Anthony is. They're prolly gonna have him in every series, with every cast combination for the first few weeks to reintroduce him and his chemistry with the casts
Yes but not every week though because he have his own channel
There's a lot of catching up to do here.
I love Angela's energy and humor. Not all of her jokes stick. She just says the first thing that comes to mind and no one really laughs but I relate to that. Lol. Her energy tho is great. Lol.
I kinda feel like Ian seems so genuinely more comfortable now and this is really touching to see😂❤
Ong.
@@yume3am488 Yes. Ong.
@@meowmew444indeed. Yes. Ong.
@@Nathan-lk4iuOngggggg so true
I relate to Angela more and more everyday. The spiraling is so real, and tbh the question was out of EVERYONE there and it is steep competition in that room.
My thoughts exactly!! That’s like coming in 6th in a “top 100 sexiest people” contest 😂
Angela: The employee who said something bad about her boss and then keeps on complimenting him in every chance she gets cause she might get fired🤣
and you can tell both Ian and Courteny were so taken back and you can tell is working on himself AND HER BOSS!
Shayne and Courtney saying they don’t like 1 on 1 chilling but living together and engaged and covering for it is great. Also 19:35 the zoom in at Shayne’s YEAH at Courtney saying she kills herself with spicy food was great. So many signs in retrospect
Gonna go ahead and say we are gonna need every video to have the “We found him!” Joke cause I’m here for it every time.
Its gonna be in the whole first semester of the return arc.
u can tell ians been so much happpier since anthony has been back
Seeing Anthony call Ian his best friend again is such a full circle moment that it fills my heart because now it’s genuine again and you can tell they both love each other in a new and mature way❤
It makes me so happy to see the boys back together. Basically grew up on smosh. And when the media company bought them and the content didn't grow up with me it was so strange. But as an adult watching these new videos brings me so much joy. Hope you guys have faith in yourself and know your fans support you so much
Couldn't have said it better!
Shayne is so humble. He would crush everyone else at lifting.
For sure, he was reaching for cardio as his escape hatch just because everyone else is likely weaker in literally every strength exercise haha
@@wheresmymoneydenny other than marcus. if marcus was in the room, shayne's verifiably weaker than he is. not by much, but enough that marcus is also an escape hatch.
@@tdarkhorse4Shayne literally beat him in their contest lmao
shayne being so concerned about Courtney and Ian when they had the spiciest sauce was adorable, he's such a sweet guy
Might be a "it's not that deep" type of situation, but I get the feeling Shanye was less explosive in this video than usual, since he didn't want to steal the shine away with Anthony having returned.
He hasn't been his usual self in anthony videos, I really hope he's just readjusting and it's not that deep :'^)
I'm sure he's just adjusting to the new dynamic and direction of Smosh. It's only been a couple of days since The Reclaiming was announced, after all
I also know they filmed a few of these on the same day based on outfits, so maybe it was just an off day or he was tired!
@@annamarion97 Good point
@@annamarion97we’ll see more of him since they’re doing a Reddit video soon with Ian and Anthony
Hearing Anthony speak of his newfound best friend relationship with Ian makes me so happy 😊
They are spoiling us with all of this content, I love it
It’s like my childhood trauma is finally over and it’s Christmas & birthday all over again lol
Smosh is back together. 2009-2018 smosh is back
This just feels so right to have Ian and Anthony together again. Anthony just fits in with everyone like he’s been here the whole time.
Anthony, Chanse and Angela in a video together is giving all kinds of weird, but I'm absolutely here for it 😂
It’s chaotic lol 😂
Chanse desperately wants the tea and I am living for it.
I'm so happy to see Anthony back. The whole vibe of the cast and the videos has also definitely changed and become more vibrant for sure. But it still feels so surreal to see him. And then suddenly it feels like he never left
Yeah you can tell the energy in the room has completely changed since Anthony came back.
@@SamuelDuplessis12 for sure 😁
Ian is so much happier :3
@@sherbear6625 absolutely ☺️
8:29 I love that Angela immediately made the face of "If you don't choose me we have a problem" when talking about trash talking 😂😂😂
And I LOVE the fact that we finally get a video with Chanse and Anthony!
Courtney sitting in the Smosh dad sandwich and fangirling is so relatable
17:17 they did the same pose while laughing, thats cool to see them so in sync
proof that they robots
I love how they talk about Anthony coming back every five seconds but he just fits so well it feels like he's never left
Anthony and Ian still look like they’re still in their 20s.
Ian looks early thirties, but I agree with Anthony looking 20
I assumed they both were early thirties. Like 31-33. I’m shocked they’re both 35
Ian and Courtney have been all smiles since Anthony came back. The nostalgia is crazily fun to watch. Looking forward to seeing Chanse, Angela, Amanda and Arasha getting to know Anthony and bonding with him over time... 😁🖤
anthony saying "did you [make a music video about it]?" at 13:02 and then the cut to anthony playing ian's mom in said video is kinda hysterical 😭😭
Chanse and Anthony bonding during this is so sweet. Glad to see the new new cast in there with the OGs for this, the vibes are awesome. This is gonna be a lot of fun!
Chanse not knowing what Kiss Currency is was absolute gold to me for some reason
Great lineup: two original members, two middle of the road Smosh members and two newest members
i love anthony and ian's friendship so much. their new videos really shows how much they care about each other bc they show vulnerability :'( so proud and happy smosh is back ...
Anthony really evens out everyone’s energy, at least from what I’ve seen with him and the newer cast. It’s so refreshing having him back
He's HAPPY. Ian is going to fricking glow for the next couple years. He seems so delighted to have his friend back on video with him.
Now that Anthony is back, I do hope they bring back the Smosh Summer/Winter Games, it would be great to see everyone especially with the new members.
Just Shayne and Angela doing anything makes me laugh so hard.
Anthony was definitely the Charisma and perfectionist of Smosh. Ian had the goofiness and passion, but Anthony definitely helped keep everything on course.
They missed his talent…
He was the genius behind Smosh.
