Yo I LOVE that they did this. 1) Having it start off from one of their actual vlogs is brilliant. 2) The set is very obviously just four walls arranged differently for each scene but that's all you need. They could easily do a miniseries with such a minimal set. 3) Toilet exit is my fav gag.
Was that why Shanye wasn't in the DDR video? Can we save Shaney from the Backrooms? Who is that Syhaen clone who's been posing as him in all the videos since the Hide and Seek video?
@@SylentTiger We don't need to. Olivia went and got Shane from the other reality and brought him and Brennan home,. As for Clone Shane, Olivia . . . well , . . that's classified.
Thoroughly enjoyed this. Shayne had me laughing the whole time. Olivia's bit was perfection. Would love for this to be a series. Maybe have Spencer or Damien join Shayne on the adventure.
I love the little analogue horror touches, the random VHS glitches, the quick flashes of things between video frames, Shayne making a cursed face, the weird electronic high pitch noises. Shayne really did his research for this one and I love it. I also love the canon of Olivia just hanging out in the backrooms, being a backrooms entity
I love how I instantly realize that they went to the wrong reality because I just re-watched the hide and seek video. Damien should be in the funeral series' coffin, and that tent should be empty with a photo of Shayne. Nice attention to detail from Smosh, too.
this sketch confirmed two things for me. 1) Olivia is an Eldritch being stuck in a human body and isn't sure if she's more Eldritch or human and just runs with it and 2)gif Shayne was ever in an actual horror movie situation he would absolutely play the class clown or dumb jock persona while he's actually figuring out and making sure everyone survives and I love it. Fantastic job Smosh. I love you awesome peoples.
Can't believe they've done a backrooms skit 😂 bruh this is too dam funny "that's my ass, yeah" "I miss the old Smosh" "here in the backrooms, I'm tall" *holds felt pen marker* dead 💀😂🤣 oh Shayne
honestly shane is the first best person that would actually flip into backrooms out of all the cast lol, his vibe fits all the other "victims" in games and videos
I cannot believe how talented the cast and crew of smosh are,, I wasn’t expecting much from this video tbh but this sketch was put together sooo well and it was so enjoyable to watch, loved the many smosh universe cameos
This was incredible! I know that Backrooms and liminal spaces are a more recent creepypasta phenomena, but I'm still getting early, *early* UA-cam days of analog horror web series vibes (like Local 58, Candle Cove, Marble Hornets) and I love it. Brilliant, unexpected content. I could watch a full series of this spoopy smosh stuff.
Though the backrooms is a bit old hat at this point, this was an unexpected and fresh parodic take on that genre of video; with the minimal set that’s clearly just a corner of a room reused over and over again, the perfunctory in-between shots of “creepy” imagery, even a goofy looking stick monster, embellished with a few Smosh-specific jokes, makes it feel very earnest and thought out. That is if this were a skit and not actual footage of Shayne iCarly trapped in the Backrooms.
This vid was hella dope. Both creepy and funny, please do more. Maybe Keith visits the backrooms next time and he finds a cure for cancer but then drops it lol
Loved that the camera man was totally fine when they transported but Shane was passed out on the floor for some reason. Made absolutely no sense and really set up my expectations for this lol absolutely loved it XD
The idea that Olivia is either a backrooms entity or at a level where she can just chill and come and go to the backrooms at will despite not being from there...
Ive been watching smosh since 2011 and its so bitter sweet that ian and Anthony are back on one hand og smosh is back but the 2020-2023 smosh sketckes with the new cast are up there with the og vids if im being honest
Great concept! Please do more! Love the integration with a “real” video at the start. Would love for that to happen more. Also Damian looks abit off at the end…
Great video, good start to the spooky season. For anyone curious, the binary translates to basically their normal description (links, cast & crew, etc)
I watched 'Barbarian' (directed and written by Zach Cregger from WKYK) in theatres the day this short came out and it's interesting to me how closely related horror is to comedy. Comedy has the same editing tempo and surrealism. The only difference is that horror lingers a bit too long on the consequential dread of pratfalls and yelling.
why was this released? please remove immediately.
i'm trying but the delete button is inoperable for this video. one sec
weird. call youtube and see if there's something going on with the platform
On it, calling Susan now.
it's not runging its just clicks then it buzzzs in m ears
@@smosh alt f4 rn
Olivia is 100% a backrooms entity, I’m glad Smosh is finally being open with its audience
Finally, it makes sense. Of course she is
Huh, a video where Olivia actually added to the entertainment. That's something.
Lmaoooo why is the term backrooms entity so funny to me🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@pikekeke oof
Speaking of openness, I'm so glad Shane leaked this forbidden video to 'prove' to us that he's a tall king rather than a short king.
The fact that Shayne didn't give his own ass a firm slap when it was right there shows he has more restraint than I.
I would eat myself out for hours
I was expecting him to do it too 😂
Meaning you'd slap Shayne's ass or you'd slap your own ass? (I'd do both tbh)
That would be a HR problem lol.
Only reason is probably because it wasn't actually him lol
Olivia's "I love it here I come here all the time" have no way being that creepy.
And they didn't think to ask her how she leaves
She is straight up born to play a horror movie role
I believe her
You mean it has no right being that creepy?
I was terrified the entire time. Omg when she was just looking at the camera sitting there. Woah
Yo I LOVE that they did this. 1) Having it start off from one of their actual vlogs is brilliant. 2) The set is very obviously just four walls arranged differently for each scene but that's all you need. They could easily do a miniseries with such a minimal set. 3) Toilet exit is my fav gag.
Shayne's deapan delivery at the toilet part just slayed me 😭
Also he's wearing the same outfit he wore in the actual hide and seek video
shayne going to the back rooms is something I didn’t know I needed
Me neither.
Was that why Shanye wasn't in the DDR video? Can we save Shaney from the Backrooms? Who is that Syhaen clone who's been posing as him in all the videos since the Hide and Seek video?
@@SylentTiger
We don't need to. Olivia went and got Shane from the other reality and brought him and Brennan home,.
As for Clone Shane, Olivia . . . well , . . that's classified.
I'm positively sure they didn't even told Olivia what the sketch was about, they just sat her on that chair and told her "Just be yourself" 😂
Yeah! I don't think they telled her either!
Haha yea i knew we would see her eventually
Olivia is way more scarier than the Backroom
She sure does a splendid job acting scary.
I believe it's how she came to us from Planet Sui.
Chills.
Just scarier. 'More scarier' makes you sound illiterate.
Loved this skit! If we got a "The Chosens Guide For Surviving The Backrooms" skit I would be so happy!
YES
YESSS
YOURE SO RIGHT
The Chosen and Brianna Boho in the Backrooms
"Listen up. These Backrooms are a freaking nightmare. You'll have to listen to my tips if you wanna survive."
"It's like an infinite hell that looks like an office"
So... basically an office
The office.
@@dakotaskong759 i see what you did there.
@@gray_heater 🫡
Olivia being a backrooms entity is CANON now...
With Shayne and Patrick as co-writers and co-directors, I just imagine them running off with a camera and an idea.
The chosen wouldn't let himself fall into the backrooms.. Such a rookie mistake.
Classic mistake 😎
I mean that's shayne tho. Shayne obviously hasn't been training with the chosen
@@holyfetusface yes spencer is the chosen, and guess what, we don't see him in the video!
@@Hyped_Panda exactly 😎
Place is a fuckingggggg cHellscape 😎🙄
Thoroughly enjoyed this. Shayne had me laughing the whole time. Olivia's bit was perfection. Would love for this to be a series. Maybe have Spencer or Damien join Shayne on the adventure.
The backrooms is friggin hellscape
Obligatory Chosen Voice
“You’re going to need to listen to me if you want to survive the backrooms.
Rule number 1: get your lunch orders in on time”
Seeing my favorite person go through my worst fear was a great video 10/10, probably my new favorite smosh sketch
How's the backrooms your favourite person?
@@demonicinfinity6924 they meant their favortie pizza place

A perfect mix of funny and unsettling! Would love to see more backrooms stuff
No smosh has a bad habit of repeating successful things more times than it's needed. They should do similar concepts but not the same idea
This sure was unsettling. The very end card with the “Lick and Subside” made me cackle, no clue as to why.
Mesh sure is in the stire
It also helps reading it in Courtney's Tiktok girl voice
Was looking for someone talking about the lick and subside, that was nuts haha
STAND STILL RUNAWAY
What What
What
What What
this sketch confirmed two things for me. 1) Olivia is an Eldritch being stuck in a human body and isn't sure if she's more Eldritch or human and just runs with it and 2)gif Shayne was ever in an actual horror movie situation he would absolutely play the class clown or dumb jock persona while he's actually figuring out and making sure everyone survives and I love it. Fantastic job Smosh. I love you awesome peoples.
So happy to see Olivia in her true state.
Back rooms irl confirmed no cap on god
on god no cap ass
Can't believe they've done a backrooms skit 😂 bruh this is too dam funny "that's my ass, yeah" "I miss the old Smosh" "here in the backrooms, I'm tall" *holds felt pen marker* dead 💀😂🤣 oh Shayne
This is actually genius, back stage in a production company is always filled with liminal spaces and weird objects. Fun video
I know this was short but I LOVED this!!! Olivia NEEDS to do horror for smosh on Halloween videos
You guys should do more videos like this been watching for like 12 years too
"I MISS THE OLD SMOSH" GODAMMIT HAHAHAHAH
We all do
I mean is he or she wrong?
this looks like a classic smosh video ian and anthony would do, just have anthony replace shayne and ian as the cameraman lol
Shayne joking about his height again and I'm here for it.
Seriously need more of this both legitimately creepy and hilarious on top of tying in smosh Easter eggs and running jokes. Please make more!
I love you smosh. Your ideas are so great nowadays. Hopefully this gets the attention it deserves. Stay strong
This is a genuinely very good video! I whole-heartedly enjoyed it and laughed a lot
OK huge props to everyone who made this. Some of the best Smosh stuff in ages.
olivia's jumpscare after her shot actually scared me i-
honestly shane is the first best person that would actually flip into backrooms out of all the cast lol, his vibe fits all the other "victims" in games and videos
I cannot believe how talented the cast and crew of smosh are,, I wasn’t expecting much from this video tbh but this sketch was put together sooo well and it was so enjoyable to watch, loved the many smosh universe cameos
This is so well done and funny. I love it
The Olivia jumpscare made me scream 🤣
Olivia's delivery of lines is on point!!!
So this is why we got the great smosh ending(anthony coming back amd shourtney marriage). Shayne chose the "right" reality.
I love it here
Lol
lol
That intro was impressivly accurate to how he searched in hide and seek
Need a Backrooms series with 'The Annoying kid'
You got me, Smosh. I was thoroughly convinced it was a regular skit until Olivia jumpscared us
This is criminally underviewed.
To the ones responsible for this video idea: 10/10. Loving the humor and new twists for these sketches. Nevermind the old Smosh, keep growing!
I have no idea what you've been using to write those but please never stop, they're GOLD
I want shane to be in a found footage horror movie parody now please, branden too XD. this was gold.
Ok this is my new favorite. I can't decide if I want more Backroom, or if more would spoil it. 🤔
More of this please. I love seeing other genres mixed with comedy. The cast can really show their skills off too.
Olivia is very good at being unnerving
This was incredible! I know that Backrooms and liminal spaces are a more recent creepypasta phenomena, but I'm still getting early, *early* UA-cam days of analog horror web series vibes (like Local 58, Candle Cove, Marble Hornets) and I love it.

Shane acting like a little kid in a children's museum when being in the backrooms is so funny 😭
Olivia killed with the scary acting. We need more Olivia lore.
1:07 so, defy?

Do a series with different characters in the back rooms 😂
Except for Olivia, who appears in each one doing increasingly bizarre things until she’s basically a lovecraftian backrooms horror.
These are the kind of videos I love smosh making! Keep them up!
This vid was hella dope. Both creepy and funny, please do more. Maybe Keith visits the backrooms next time and he finds a cure for cancer but then drops it lol
OMG this was awesome! I'd honestly love more "Found footage creepy pasta" from smosh
Very interesting, absolutely loved Shayne getting hit with the ball😂
Loved that the camera man was totally fine when they transported but Shane was passed out on the floor for some reason. Made absolutely no sense and really set up my expectations for this lol absolutely loved it XD
well now we need a series of each cast/crew member in the backrooms
Gods imagine Lisa in the backrooms
The idea that Olivia is either a backrooms entity or at a level where she can just chill and come and go to the backrooms at will despite not being from there...
The height jokes are on point 🤣🤣🤣
Ayo 10/10 vid. Hope this gets more views. It definitely deserves it
This was so well done I love it
this video is so refreshing because for once its not a basic "smoffice" sketch
That was very well executed, loved the whole bit!
This was actually really well done while keeping the Smosh humor :)
I LOVE THIS SKETCH!!! IT'S REFRESHING
The sentence “I miss the old Smosh” written on the wall honestly made me laugh, despite how much I agree with it
Olivia is a walking embodiment OF the back room 😂😂😂
You know you've made it when even Smosh is parodying your ARG
I love how the aspect ratio changed💀
that red ball trick was actually pretty sick. and honestly the monster being kinda jank made it more unsettling
If you search hard enough you may find Anthony
Ive been watching smosh since 2011 and its so bitter sweet that ian and Anthony are back on one hand og smosh is back but the 2020-2023 smosh sketckes with the new cast are up there with the og vids if im being honest
Creepy and eerie I love it, I feel like Olivia and I would be BFFs
this is really cool!!! you guys should do more horror parody's for october, spooky month
this is giving me the easy bake oven video vibez for some reason……..
2:41 You guys just unintentionally recreated one of the most classic Polish memes. Couldn't stop laughing for a good while 🤣
What’s the meme?
Ofcourse olivia would be in the back rooms😂
Great concept! Please do more! Love the integration with a “real” video at the start. Would love for that to happen more. Also Damian looks abit off at the end…
Why tf yall posted this at 11pm I'm gonna be scared shit even if its a joke 😭
This is actually pretty good. Playing up Olivia's weirdness is a great idea xD
someones getting fired
"you've never been on reddit before?"
damn lucky you havent been to that hellhole
Well this is what I wanted to see today
Holy crap this has to be one of the most creative Smosh videos. Amazing!
Looks like someone's getting fired :P
Nice way to code the credits in Binary, nice touch. Love Smosh, keep up the good work.
Lmao. but you should have posted this on April Fool's Day.
You're freaking me out, Smosh!!
Great filming and editing though in this one
LOL I was trying to see who wrote this video in the description but I guess not 😂
Great video, good start to the spooky season. For anyone curious, the binary translates to basically their normal description (links, cast & crew, etc)
mogus?

*I miss the Old Smosh* Even the Backrooms are spitting facts
This is an awesome video…no doubt.
I just think you could’ve added more puzzles and illusions to make a longer video.
