I absolutely LOVE that Courtney is the director for this huge project. They are so deserving of every bit of success! They all seem so excited for this and i can wait to watch on Friday
same cause thats what built and kept smosh alive after all these years. ian and anthony started it and the cast continued it with their own friendships 😭
Anthony’s praise for Courtney during this episode made me emotional. You can see how proud Anthony is of them and how much it means to Courtney that Anthony is proud ❤
Agreed. like Amanda said Shane and Courtney are Ian and Anthony’s babies. They went from being silly funny characters to still doing that plus talking on bigger roles for the smosh company. It’s really beautiful to see
sure but people gotta give credit to the writers like Patrick and Jeremy who did direct some of the projects. Courtney didn't do it by herself, she isn't the owner of smosh lmao
I just love seeing Amanda and Shayne being so proud of Courtney. It just shows that they are all best friends off screen as well and that the cast’s friendship is all real and not just for the screens. WE ARE ALL SO PROUD OF YOU COURTNEY!!!! 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
I was literally gonna write this comment if I didn’t find it. I love how the whole cast is obviously best friends and them gelling is so important to them.
@@yikes1356 nah they're still not best friends outside of work. Sure some get on better but they've always stated as such. They all have better, deeper friendships outside of smosh
Ian and Anthony have always been amazing at finding and hiring talented people. Seeing most of the cast and crew in videos and hearing how they do so much behind the scenes really makes me happy. Everyone’s so talented, funny, and brings something special to the channel. I would also LOVE to see more funeral roasts! Chanse needs one!
@@Rinno-sempai courtney was, that whole squad with noah, olivia, Keith and shayne all came around a few months before anthony left. There is a ton of skits with all of them in it
@@n8tethegr8t20yea, Shayne and Courtney were hired at the same time while Olivia, Keith and Noah were hired before them. I think Keith was the first one they hired out of the 5
I think a special shout-out needs to be given to Noah for coming up with the "Rebuttal" revive in the roasts. Ever since he did that, everyone does it now. That was some real innovation that adds SO much to the roast.
@@filtermin5308 Yeah Ian was epic in that. Every one a zinger, no one spared. The Tommy "because his activation phrase is 'we're adding you to the smosh main cast'" line was complete murder!
Wanna give a huge shoutout to Courtney for taking time directing this amazing project! Knowing that Court didn’t wanna be a part of this project originally but then opted to be a part of it as Bikini Girl and also to direct this project to me makes it even more special! Congratulations to everyone involved! ❤❤❤❤
she refused before to be a bikini girl because of "women empowerment issues2 but then she said fck it, let's do it like a parody of old times with a twist, so yeah, she is parodying bikini "bimbo" girl just to give us a surprise.
@@unlitrash She said she didn’t plan to be in it because it’s easier to direct when you’re not in it. It was in the Anthony painting livestream, I believe.
She was always part of it, she's been the Director from the start, she just didn't want to play a character in it at first because it's easier to direct a thing you're not acting in.
I think Shayne really hit the nail on the head. During the Defy era, they were working from a place of fear. Fear of failure, of taking risks, of bombing a video. And while Smosh from that time is/was amazing, it’s even more so now. Because they now aren’t creating from a place of fear, but from fun and passion, it really shows. I think that’s why the videos are doing so well now, because you can tell how much fun they are all having(like Sniper Chess and the live streams). Smosh is best when they are having a lot of fun.
I would absolutely love to see Shayne get a new funeral roast. His first one does feel kind of like a prototype - or the pilot of a TV show. Plus you can do it with an entirely different set of people than the first roast.
The trailer for Anthony’s Funeral Roast was SO GOOD that I instantly bought tickets to the live. I hope Courtney knows how absolutely epic that trailer was, and I literally don’t care at all what happens in the live, it’s impossible for Courtney to disappoint me at this point. Buying those tickets was worth it even for the trailer, I’ve watched enough incredible Smosh content (and specifically Courtney made/directed content) for it to be worth it to hand over my money lol. It gave me such a nostalgic excitement that I remember getting for the Wild West Trailer way back in the day. Great work guys! Proud of how much Courtney’s grown :)
I feel the same way. Smosh has been here for us for so long, through thick and thin. I'm listening to or watching something from them every day. It's absolutely worth supporting them with the live shows.
I absolutely love the working environment of Smosh as a professional company which provides ultimate freedom to it’s employees to fully honed their inner crafts at its maximum potential. After Anthony and Ian owning this company and considering their comfort level and friendship with the entire cast is truly remarkable.
Courtney just seems so pure and the kind of person I would love to have in my life, as a friend, family member, co-worker, acquaintance, whatever. She just has an energy that makes me feel good.
Maybe not as it sounds like it's dedicated characters and not just everyone being themselves, with the cost of production idk if they would spend money on so many cast members but who knows!
I agree, especially Damien because he is all about spooky vibes. This themed roast is right up his alley, it would be a shame if he didn't make an appearance. I think also adding more of the older cast with more history with Anthony will hold more significance. Either way I have high hopes for this event. Especially with Courtney directing! :)
@@kimberlyn4996 OH YES. like Shayne can be Courtney freakin miller, Amanda can be Angela, we need all the bffs to play each other, it would be the best.
Wow, definitely cried in the "Trusting yourself" section - I don't usually for folks I don't actually know, but to hear about the supportive and passionate environment of Smosh, what it all means to each of you, how you're building something each together - that's beautiful to see. As a fan, Smosh has been such a source of laughs when I needed it most - but I'd never want that to be at the cost of anyone. So to hear that the level of creative fulfillment y'all have, that your dreams are coming true together in a sense, and you have the space to dream even bigger is incredible. Proud Smosh fan over here, cheers to Courtney the director, the whole team. Wow. Overwhelmed over here!!!
i really love how passionate and excited everyone is. it seems like anthony coming back rejuvenated smosh as whole. it's really really cool to see. i've loved smosh for years and years, so i'm not saying it wasn't good without him. it's like shayne said about him coming back, "nothing's gonna change, it's just gonna work better"
I would love for this to be a rebirth of the roasts, maybe on SmoshPit. I feel like Angela, Chanse, and Arasha have all earned their roasts and I’d love to see what the cast could do.
Big props to Anthony for giving Courtney so much positive reinforcement on screen. I’m sure that happens from others off screen but to see and hear it is pretty awesome from a Boss. Courtney is good at what she does from the videos I see that she directs and that promo was incredible! Side note Tommy you won’t see this but the music you made for it really perfected it
@pavanbiliyar Got to be her. She was the first hire after Ian and Anthony. She came back for one of the Damien reveals his exes videos, so the bridge has been rebuilt already.
I love how excited everyone is, especially when Shayne said "Now we don't really have to go to someone for approval". It's really an independent Smosh.
This episode really convinced me to purchase a ticket to the live show. To be clear, this is the first time I’ve ever purchased something like this for a UA-cam channel- you guys deserve it, take my money and I can’t wait to see the show, excited for my shirt too!
Anthony is the Mother of the Smosh. He went away for a while but he came back to Home and now children all grown up and doing all the work. Anthony and Ian are proud parents.
i feel another difference from the defy day's for anthony is while he may be working as much or more than he did, he's working on things he loves and the things he wants to. another benefit is having a solid set of cast & crew members who you can rely on to help take the workload off, especially for the projects one isn't fully invested in, and this can lead to some amazing content too from having more brilliantly creative minds working together.
I can feel the energy shift in an independent Smosh. Fresh, new, good energy running through the videos lately, Food Battle and this Funeral Roast is just the start! New Smosh has never felt so good from this side of the screen
So proud of Courtney's directorial psuedo-debut! It's so great to see them so confident in their work. I'm definitely looking forward to watching the cast grow with this "follow-your-instincts" attitude. 🎉
It feels like Smosh is in their Barbie movie Era, just being themselves.. going to the OBGYN for the first time. It is soo sweet that they feel so content in their jobs, especially Courtney ❤
I've said it before, if someone has never seen Smosh, just watching the roasts alone, the chemistry radiates so much, you can't help but laugh, without context of anyone there. It's really impressive and Courtney absolutely nails it each time
Smosh was the first ever YT video I ever saw in like 2006 or whatever and I didn't watch any of it until I randomly decided to watch the Mythical Chef Josh roast last week. I've been binging Smosh ever since and can't wait for the roast.
After seeing Patrick in all of the Dropout shows, I'm happy to know that he's also still writing for Smosh. He's a great writer, y'all have found a winning team.
literally just finished watching the painting livestream this came at the perfect time for me omg i started watching the live when i started a new crochet project and i'm not yet done so i'm happy i have this to listen to now:)
16:20 i remember watching that one damn smosh is just really intertwined HAHHAA 39:33 im gonna cry theyre literally the dads of courtney, from inspiring her as a fan then pushing her to create as a coworker. 39:41 LMAO INTERVIEWER ANTHONY COMING IN 😂
I subscribed just so I could say: I absolutely love the wide and true smiles and nods of support and appreciation Amanda is giving as Courtney is being congratulated. It is so event the pure celebration of another woman crushing it. So meaningful and wonderful to see!
Love seeing everyone talk so passionately. To see how everyone has come and how things have shifted in the years. So so so proud of you all. Literally see the light and confidence shining off all y’all. -x
At first i wasnt sure if i was gonna buy a ticket for the funeral but seeing how proud and excited they all are about it really convinced me Its gonna be an early christmas gift for myself :)
The promo was absolutely amazing and impressive. Courtney should be very proud, this concept and the vision is so amazing. I have so much faith that the funeral will be so good and absolutely live up to the hype and courtney just did such a good job! we love you court
Ok watching this has convinced me to pay for the live. I actually love you guys so much. What Courtney said about feeling so much happier now that Anthony is back, and how the whole cast has really come together because of it? That made me cry. Yall are such a talented and genuine group, and your friendship really shines through all the hilarity. So yeah, take my money, I'm in!
As someone who didn't find Smosh in time to buy tickets/see Anthony's roast, but has loved many of the other roasts (cast/crew/try guys only) I really wish there was a way to see Anthony's roast. I also agree with others that Shayne completely deserves a re-roast!
So absolutely stoked for Courtney not only that they get to helm this massive project, but also that they're in such a nurturing and supportive environment that they get such incredible opportunities to grow and level up as a director, performer, and a person. And that they get real, meaningful affirmation of their achievements. So rare in this world.
I think since they bought the company back that it really shows how much everyone is enjoying themselves lately. You guys have such amazing cast and crew and letting them have more freedom to create and take risks has really breathed new life and spirit into the channel.
I love how everyone on this project is super excited for it and supportive of each other and everyone involved! This is gonna be such a great project to watch unfold! Can't wait!
Courtney just said exactly what I was thinking! Funeral roasts were some of the very first videos I ever saw from Smosh and by now I've seen many of them multible times. They _are_ really effective way to get to know you all! They are also a thorough introduction to your sense of humor, the dynamics between you and especially the different roles different people in the cast and crew have. One of the reasons I felt like seeing them again was that once I got hold of who's who and got to know everyone better, it was interesting to see how differently the roasts hit and how much better you get some of the references and jokes in them. One example is that I remember being SO weirded out by the recurrent mentions of malic acid and by now it's such a silly thing to look back to after getting in on the reference😄 Overall it's a perfect concept and the execution is always awesome! Looking forward to Anthony's this weekend! Watching from the Nordics so I'll be staying up all night, just so I wouldn't miss any of it😁
Shayne is really entertaining and is explaining the premise of the funerals really well. They seem really brutal (which alot of them are) but that's what makes it funny. Just Anthony's presence and seeing him interact with smosh again is awesome.
*FAVORITE EPISODE SO FAR!* 🤍 my fav people talking about a project that's so special and unique. the fact courtney is directing this and so excited about it, anthony as well, all talkative... this is everything!!!
Personally I started Smosh when Anthony came back, and I was a person who only knew what Smosh was because I was on UA-cam constantly after like 2004. I have to say, I think the cast has so much energy and is such a good ensemble that I went from being not a fan to watching every show week over week
I bought the highest level ticket because I’ve never been more excited for a live event for a channel before. It’s so SO fun to see how much the channel has blossomed since Anthony came back. I didn’t watch smosh as a kid like most other fans so my “old smosh” is what most people consider new smosh. So seeing how much more they can do now that they have so much support, it’s cry worthy.
Haven't finished the episode yet but when they were talking about how all the characters/attendees all start with "The" and Amanda mentioned how it feels kinda old school horror it made me think how cool like a set of posters of all these characters individually with their titles underneath would be and maybe even in like a stained glass style for the churchy/Gothic aesthetic (and then the idea of rambo The Chosen in that style made me laugh super hard lol)
The vibes are immaculate I love seeing a group of amazing people just uplifting each other🥹🫶🏼 IM SO EXCITED FOR THE SHOW YALL ARE GONNA KILL IT AS ALWAYS ❤️❤️❤️
This era of Smosh will live on as the golden age. It’s just so good. Everyone is in a position that leans into their talents and it’s just so nice to see.
The true reason everyone enjoys Smosh is definitely, because everyone in the videos are having fun, the fun and happiness can be felt by the fans watching
I absolutely LOVE that Courtney is the director for this huge project. They are so deserving of every bit of success! They all seem so excited for this and i can wait to watch on Friday
Also love how much they were hyping her up at the beginning of this video :)
**Edit** - **throughout this video :)*
Director AND bikini girl? That's talent right there
She already directed most of the funeral roast. So in reality made sense that she directs it as she has the most experience directing this format.
@@rahjahknowsyou might say charisma, uniqueness, nerve AND talent
It’s gonna be a good day 😅 sloshy and sloshy cup set the bar…I might get drunk 🤷♂️ but it’ll be a good time loool

Their words for and about his departure and return made me misty eyed 😢

@@filtermin5308 Yeah Ian was epic in that. Every one a zinger, no one spared. The Tommy "because his activation phrase is 'we're adding you to the smosh main cast'" line was complete murder!

Personally, this is the most comfortable I feel like I’ve seen Anthony since returning and I love it
Oh totally, he really seems to be settling into his new role I love it
Can't imagine how liberating it must be for him and Ian to be able to trust the process/talent of the cast and crew 💖
Shayne's Dio roast on Damien's funeral will forever be iconic 😂
It really hit me in my bi panic 😂
Damien's whole roast was fantastic.
@@T.FlorenzThat's funny because it hit me in my pan euphoria 😂
Perfection
I don't watch anime, don't know the character but it's still one of my all time favourite performances
I think Shayne really hit the nail on the head. During the Defy era, they were working from a place of fear. Fear of failure, of taking risks, of bombing a video. And while Smosh from that time is/was amazing, it’s even more so now. Because they now aren’t creating from a place of fear, but from fun and passion, it really shows. I think that’s why the videos are doing so well now, because you can tell how much fun they are all having(like Sniper Chess and the live streams). Smosh is best when they are having a lot of fun.
Courtney going from fangirling over Ian and Anthony getting back together to having Anthony fangirl over their direction is so sweet

After Anthony and Ian owning this company and considering their comfort level and friendship with the entire cast is truly remarkable.
"Comedy rooted in friendship" perfectly put into words why I love this new Smosh era.❤❤
its crazy how smosh grew with its audience

I hope we will get to see Damien, Olivia, Noah, Keith and Spencer at the roast even though they weren't in the promo.
Maybe the after show?? They may also be in the audience for laughs
Right? I know the theme is Gothic but I just love the Keith dancing bit

I would love for Mykie (Anthony’s gf) to show up for the Roast as “The Final Girl” because that’s just perfectly on brand for her
thank GOD for Courtney’s funeral roast or we may have never met Sarah Christ
i really love how passionate and excited everyone is. it seems like anthony coming back rejuvenated smosh as whole. it's really really cool to see. i've loved smosh for years and years, so i'm not saying it wasn't good without him. it's like shayne said about him coming back, "nothing's gonna change, it's just gonna work better"

i’m pretty sure the first counter-roast was Noah, i remember Jeremy (as the FBI agent) going “CAN HE DO THIS?!”
Noah's was outstanding for this reason. The counterroast was amazing.
“Tommy, you look like if an umbrella wished to be a real boy.” I THINK ABOUT THIS TWICE A WEEK
noah ABSOLUTELY blazed the trail for roasting back. my favorite funeral 100%
Noah's observational humor is top tier
I'm so glad there's a video this week lol

literally just finished watching the painting livestream this came at the perfect time for me omg
i started watching the live when i started a new crochet project and i'm not yet done so i'm happy i have this to listen to now:)
16:20 i remember watching that one damn smosh is just really intertwined HAHHAA
39:33 im gonna cry theyre literally the dads of courtney, from inspiring her as a fan then pushing her to create as a coworker.
39:41 LMAO INTERVIEWER ANTHONY COMING IN 😂
It just makes my heart so happy to see Courtney direct, shayne host/cohost, and have Ian and Anthony back together ❤ Ive loved seeing smosh grow up 😭
Funeral roasts are what got me into smosh, and I'm so glad they did cause Courtney is right, it's a great way to get to know the cast of Smosh.
we are truly in a Smosh Golden Age
I subscribed just so I could say: I absolutely love the wide and true smiles and nods of support and appreciation Amanda is giving as Courtney is being congratulated. It is so event the pure celebration of another woman crushing it. So meaningful and wonderful to see!
it’s beautiful to see the great respect Anthony and Courtney have for each other, really amazing
Love seeing everyone talk so passionately. To see how everyone has come and how things have shifted in the years. So so so proud of you all.
Literally see the light and confidence shining off all y’all. -x
At first i wasnt sure if i was gonna buy a ticket for the funeral but seeing how proud and excited they all are about it really convinced me
Its gonna be an early christmas gift for myself :)
The promo was absolutely amazing and impressive. Courtney should be very proud, this concept and the vision is so amazing. I have so much faith that the funeral will be so good and absolutely live up to the hype and courtney just did such a good job! we love you court
I actually loved the segue from Food Battle to My Dead Best Friend to this roast sesh like it feels like a smosh video arc 😫😫
Amanda blurting out “legal!” about Smosh’s 18th bday only 1 minute into the video 😭😭😭
It's hilarious seeing Anthony's interviewing skills come out and take over for a second there.
Ok watching this has convinced me to pay for the live. I actually love you guys so much. What Courtney said about feeling so much happier now that Anthony is back, and how the whole cast has really come together because of it? That made me cry. Yall are such a talented and genuine group, and your friendship really shines through all the hilarity. So yeah, take my money, I'm in!
As someone who didn't find Smosh in time to buy tickets/see Anthony's roast, but has loved many of the other roasts (cast/crew/try guys only) I really wish there was a way to see Anthony's roast. I also agree with others that Shayne completely deserves a re-roast!
what i was coming to say , except i didn’t have the money at the time.
I have it if you want it😁
@@catalinanicoleta890 I'd love to see it if you're willing to share.
where should i send it?
Discovering Smosh this year, the funeral roasts absolutely made me fall in love with the cast!
I hope we see more funerals of cast members that haven't had one yet.
So absolutely stoked for Courtney not only that they get to helm this massive project, but also that they're in such a nurturing and supportive environment that they get such incredible opportunities to grow and level up as a director, performer, and a person. And that they get real, meaningful affirmation of their achievements. So rare in this world.

I think since they bought the company back that it really shows how much everyone is enjoying themselves lately. You guys have such amazing cast and crew and letting them have more freedom to create and take risks has really breathed new life and spirit into the channel.
I LOVE the genuine support you all have for each other 😍💞 Such a beautiful thing to see!
Ian's gonna go hard, but Tommy FOR SURE is gonna go hard.
I love the positivity of this end segment and I rlly want it to continueeee
I love how everyone on this project is super excited for it and supportive of each other and everyone involved! This is gonna be such a great project to watch unfold! Can't wait!
Anthony complimenting Courtney and them just freaking out 🥺 OWN IT COURTCOURT!
I totally agree with Shayne, the content lately has felt so full of life and more entertaining than ever ❤
They nailed what is making Smosh so special right now. They are having so much fun with each other.
Time to rewatch all the funeral roasts
Courtney just said exactly what I was thinking! Funeral roasts were some of the very first videos I ever saw from Smosh and by now I've seen many of them multible times. They _are_ really effective way to get to know you all! They are also a thorough introduction to your sense of humor, the dynamics between you and especially the different roles different people in the cast and crew have. One of the reasons I felt like seeing them again was that once I got hold of who's who and got to know everyone better, it was interesting to see how differently the roasts hit and how much better you get some of the references and jokes in them. One example is that I remember being SO weirded out by the recurrent mentions of malic acid and by now it's such a silly thing to look back to after getting in on the reference😄 Overall it's a perfect concept and the execution is always awesome!
Looking forward to Anthony's this weekend! Watching from the Nordics so I'll be staying up all night, just so I wouldn't miss any of it😁
Shayne is really entertaining and is explaining the premise of the funerals really well. They seem really brutal (which alot of them are) but that's what makes it funny.
Just Anthony's presence and seeing him interact with smosh again is awesome.
Been waiting for this! So excited for Anthony's Funeral!
I Absolutely LOVE how passionate everyone is in this podcast ep
*FAVORITE EPISODE SO FAR!* 🤍
my fav people talking about a project that's so special and unique. the fact courtney is directing this and so excited about it, anthony as well, all talkative... this is everything!!!
ngl i find it funny when Anthony is on these cause he somtimes switches to his interviewee self and it feels like one of his videos
Personally I started Smosh when Anthony came back, and I was a person who only knew what Smosh was because I was on UA-cam constantly after like 2004.
I have to say, I think the cast has so much energy and is such a good ensemble that I went from being not a fan to watching every show week over week
I bought the highest level ticket because I’ve never been more excited for a live event for a channel before. It’s so SO fun to see how much the channel has blossomed since Anthony came back. I didn’t watch smosh as a kid like most other fans so my “old smosh” is what most people consider new smosh. So seeing how much more they can do now that they have so much support, it’s cry worthy.
Courtney quietly knocking on wood when she said “too bad you’re gonna die!!” to Anthony 🤭
smosh becoming my new found family special interest is just a full circle since ian and anthony use to be it for me growing up
I’m so excited for Amanda’s Fortune Teller character.
“And for your future I see… NOTHING. You peaked in 2007”
Seeing you guys lift each other up and play off your bits is what keeps us coming :) Honestly
Haven't finished the episode yet but when they were talking about how all the characters/attendees all start with "The" and Amanda mentioned how it feels kinda old school horror it made me think how cool like a set of posters of all these characters individually with their titles underneath would be and maybe even in like a stained glass style for the churchy/Gothic aesthetic (and then the idea of rambo The Chosen in that style made me laugh super hard lol)
sending kisses is my favorite end segment. so funny and positive!
What I'm nitpicking about this ep with 2 guests is that it's not 2hrs long lmao but love this nonetheless
This was such a heart-warming episode 🥹 I kept tearing up hearing everyone voicing their appreciation for each other
I'm sending kisses to Courtney! I'm so proud of how far they've come!
she
The vibes are immaculate I love seeing a group of amazing people just uplifting each other🥹🫶🏼 IM SO EXCITED FOR THE SHOW YALL ARE GONNA KILL IT AS ALWAYS ❤️❤️❤️
Most wholesome smoshmouth episode yet 🥺
Amanda doing Damien’s voice over agent and shayne dio are the best funeral bits in history. And they were both the same video
In the absolute best way, Amanda and Shayne just got railroaded by two incredible interviewers interviewing each other 😂
This era of Smosh will live on as the golden age. It’s just so good. Everyone is in a position that leans into their talents and it’s just so nice to see.
The true reason everyone enjoys Smosh is definitely, because everyone in the videos are having fun, the fun and happiness can be felt by the fans watching
