I feel like.... no matter how bad things seem now they will turn out okay. Because Anthony and Ian got back together. Like... this reunion actually legit restored my faith in the rhythm of the universe. Every Anthony and Ian video now is a feel good video.
Honestly this is how I feel, ever since the reunion I’ve been getting back to my passions of creating which I developed from watching Smosh back in the day
i just know ian and anthony probably have so many stories just about that park in sacremento, this series is my absolute fav series on youtube now. just you both talking about the behind stuff and random memories from school its so wholesome to watch
"Pokémon in Real Life" is one of, if not the best series Ian and Anthony have ever done, and this episode is my favorite of those. I'm glad it ended up being so influential and beneficial to their careers.
Wow I can’t believe I never noticed that and Pokemon Diamond was my first Pokemon game. Also I wouldn’t be surprised that the costume designer did made Ian’s outfit based on the Gen 4 trainer and Ian and Anthony never noticed because they don’t know anything about Pokémon after Gen 1.
Love seeing Ian and Anthony trying to do a Courtney impression for the intro lol I gotta say; I was watching Smosh in 2006 with the Pokemon theme song video and it's been an amazing wild ride seeing how much SMOSH has evolved and changed and grown over the years. I know it's sort of a joke at this point but Ian really does seem genuinely happier overall now that Anthony is back. It's really awesome to see them both so happy and passionate about working on SMOSH together again. Loving this new "era" of SMOSH.
2005-2009: hilarious bad acting era 2009-2014: golden era 2014-2015: perfect mix of old and new Smosh 2015-2017: downfall era 2017-2023: dark era 2023-present: golden era part 2
@@EpicAndrew97it's insane to call the whole time anthony was absent "dark era" so much happened, the defy collapse and mythical acquisitions, as another commented, were already a biig change Smosh has always been hit or miss but they certainly weren't at their worst just 6 months ago!
My fav episode of the old skits to date is Paranormal Easy Bake oven. It was the first episode my friend intro'd me to and I been hooked ever since. Amazing how fast time moves when you don't notice.
Love these throwback vids, it makes me feel like I’m 11-13 again, riddled with nostalgia. Especially when you guys referenced barber shop poll a couple bids back. I had the first ever Smosh jacket, and even wrote in my 8th grade graduation year book quote “I want to create funny videos and make video games when I’m older” and I’m accomplishing both! Thank you Ian and Anthony! 🤘🏻
Your channel doesn't have videos, where are they? I'd like to watch them. Or perhaps they are private? Anyways, I hope you are doing well on your endeavors
I appreciate everything they remember in detail. Especially when Anthony was talking about all the lists on UA-cam the Pokemon lip sync video made when they posted
I'll never forget that I had a friend in elementary school like 5th grade or something and they told me about what would eventually become my first ever smosh video: "My Bathroom Secret" And it had me pretty much hooked ever since. I hope you guys go over that one eventually. Love everything y'all make! Keep doing awesome stuff!!
I've been loving this format where you guys just sit down and talk. You better think of something like this to fill this spot when you end this series 😙 ! I would love to have a weekly watchable 30 min podcast like this about other topics, it would be cool. Anyway the pokemon sketch is a classic, I love every single part of it. One of my favorites to this day.
i dont remember what my first smosh video was but pokemon was definetly one of the first ones! that jigglypuff shutup sequence is so deeply engrained in my memory even tho i havnt seen this video in ages. That video really makes me feel so nostalgic like thats the smosh i grew up with
Its cool that this was alot of peoples first smosh video, its really a good starting point. For me though my first smosh video was food battle 2009 i think (its been a while)
What I love about the current smosh fanbase: we’ve already seen Anthony leave, and the channel go through such hard times, all this is icing on the cake in the best possible way💙
These videos are all so cool. Looking back on classic Smosh is so fun. And with your new comedy videos, you guys haven't lost your touch. Can't wait to see Smosh when Anthony and Ian are in their 70s haha
I recently visited the park where this and many other Smosh videos were filmed. It turns out I had been living less than an hour away from it most of my life! It was crazy seeing the place in real life (no pun intended).
This video is still VERY funny to me all these years later, it definitely holds up. I'm glad that's the case, as I do find myself not laughing at some older Smosh vids, but goddamn this one is peak perfection through and through.
Anyone notice the cut at 5:42? Wonder what else was said behind the scenes there The South Park voice over with that clap for the bug + hidden Markiplier cameo + Anthony’s snake laugh 😂 So glad I was able to get a Pokémon themed smosh hat before they were sold out 🎉
Pokémon in real life was my start with Smosh and got me into UA-cam in general. I love you Anthony and Ian, you will always be a part of my childhood ❤️❤️❤️
Pokemon in real life was a youtube changing series ngl. All of my friends were talking about it! What are our chances of a flashback episode about a certain neighbor? 🦩 👑
We’ve come back to the good era now that Anthony is back. The universe was out of balance since Harambe, but now we can all rest easily for the first time since 2016
the first pokemon in real life is probably my personal most watched youtube video. i had it downloaded on my ipod nano. there was a point in time when i could probably recite it verbatim
I don't remember for sure what the first video I watched was. I don't think it was the pokemon video I really enjoyed lunchtime and opening mail, I enjoyed the silly videos also they always made me smile or laugh and it was a sense of comfort you guys gave me a sense of family with your videos
I had said before that if Ian and Anthony got back together it’d make youtube a better platform again, and I’m glad I was right. Everytime I see SMOSH uploaded in my notifications I feel a bit more happy inside.
Your story about cars slowing down to watch is so relatable. As an archeologist when we're doing field work next to a road it is exactly like this where you're watching cars slow down to watch what you're doing and hoping they don't stop to talk to you.
Holy moly. In middle school my friends and I used to quote the "you looked at me funny! Leeeeets battle!" dialogue all the time and I completely forgot.
I’ve said this before a few times on other videos or articles, but the first Smosh video I ever watched when I was 7 was “Spiderman, Spiderman” (you two didn’t hyphenate his name, but I’ve always let it slide😂) and I found it so funny back then and even now it still cracks me up lol. And all I was trying to do was look up Spider-Man 3 videos at the time before or after I saw it in theaters. Awesome times

Yeah, it's like a sigh of relief because the world just reminded me "Don't worry, everything will work out in the end." Very soul soothing.

I live in Sacramento I damnear gotta go check this park out bro
agreed new fav series

@@Mikey-db8si good why do you ask?

I'd say it's probably in the top 10 classics but definitely not the top 5
That's how I originally found them as a pokemon obsessed kid.
@safoutop10104 Can you please stop saying that? Please
@safoutop10104You earn followers from making content, not the other way around.
I think the Charlie series is a little better in my opinion
‘EXTREME SLEEPOVER!’ is the video with the acid bottle. Anthony sprays Ian in the face with it because he’s dozing off
You spoiled it! Like Anthony spoiled Ian's ojos.
Technically you’re right and you also spoiled the mystery of them trying to remember it
i remembered instantly lol. Probably cause i went on a binge when the announcement came out
Thank you Ian and Anthony for getting smosh back and bringing us the content we have been missing ♡
Fr only thing we’re missing now is show without a name
And ian
Well to be honest they said some other people helped them buy the company back
You seem like a girl who had a scene phase in highschool!
Litterly, this Pokémon video was made 12 years ago, and I miss it
Ian's outfit being the male trainer outfit in Gen IV is so wild. Especially if it was coincidental or they just forgot that was the intention.
Wow I can’t believe I never noticed that and Pokemon Diamond was my first Pokemon game. Also I wouldn’t be surprised that the costume designer did made Ian’s outfit based on the Gen 4 trainer and Ian and Anthony never noticed because they don’t know anything about Pokémon after Gen 1.
it might be intentional, gen 5 was announced around 2010 ish so they were pretty fresh when this video was made i’m assuming
Yeah!!! I was like, this outfit exists
Still to this very day, my favorite Smosh quote is, “Penetrate its defenses with your Harden!”
This Episode was legendary.
My defense's only weakness is HARDEN
Love seeing Ian and Anthony trying to do a Courtney impression for the intro lol
I gotta say; I was watching Smosh in 2006 with the Pokemon theme song video and it's been an amazing wild ride seeing how much SMOSH has evolved and changed and grown over the years.

You can actually see it in the background in this video

@@theblackswordsman5039yes bc they know its one of thier best videos made.
fr i think that and the assassin creed videos are my favorites lol
this was mine too omg

The editing in these is top tier. I absolutely love hearing these guys reflect, and the editing is perfect for them
I so badly want a double featured "I'm bald" and "homeless millionaire". those were so good
I want Ian, Anthony, Rhett, and Link recreate the rap battle.
Same
trueeee
Smosh getting back together = Faith in humanity restored
I appreciate everything they remember in detail. Especially when Anthony was talking about all the lists on UA-cam the Pokemon lip sync video made when they posted

Ian and Anthony watching younger Smosh is so nostalgic, time flies, glad you guys still have fun doing UA-cam
At this point its like a mini game finding you
@@tygamer2436 the easiest mini game ever.
25:46 guys… i’m gonna spoil it to you anyway, it was the extreme sleepover episode 😂
26:49 it was EXTREME SLEEPOVER with the acid bottle, I watched it recently
I love how much they've both matured and are back to doing what they love
What a classic video you guys picked this time. I hope the next flash back is the remarkable and infamous Dixion Cider video
How do you feel about the prediction my guy?

This video was what had originally started me on smosh. The nostalgia hitting bad. 😂
This is the first smosh video I ever watched when I was 12 years old. Love that I’m revisiting it over 10 years later.
This was the first Smosh video I ever saw. I have alot of nostalgia towards it because of that.
Same.
This was my first smosh video!! I remember I googled pokemon videos on UA-cam and them IRL and the rest is history 😁
Same!
Same here.
I think the same happened to me
Same
the intro of this video had such “lunchtime with smosh” energy i got whiplash but i love it 😂
literally perfect you all are reacting to this. ive just recently fell back in love with the games through PokeMMO it is so much fun
I love these 2 together so much

Where is this park? I have to make a pilgrimage there in cali
This is such a fun episode of the podcast just Ian and Anthony talking they are so funny together
I’m glad I’ve been a subscriber since this *UA-cam* video y’all are talking about in a *UA-cam* video that I’m still a subscriber to gladly be for
Ian looks happy. Good for him
This video is still VERY funny to me all these years later, it definitely holds up. I'm glad that's the case, as I do find myself not laughing at some older Smosh vids, but goddamn this one is peak perfection through and through.
I'd be down to see Shayne painted blue yelling "Machoke"
He just spends the entire video posing instead of listening to his trainer
@@zenon1o15 "you don't have enough badges to train me! I mean...machoke! Haha!

The South Park voice over with that clap for the bug + hidden Markiplier cameo + Anthony’s snake laugh 😂
So glad I was able to get a Pokémon themed smosh hat before they were sold out 🎉
I'm ducking loving the content since you have been back. It just feels like some kind of energy has been restored.
Hey ian and Anthony you guys made me laugh with every classic video that you guy made keep up the good work and it good to see reunited
Pokémon in real life was my start with Smosh and got me into UA-cam in general. I love you Anthony and Ian, you will always be a part of my childhood ❤️❤️❤️
Tbh "Pokemon In Real Life" was the first video I remember seeing of Smosh, but I feel like I had seen them everywhere before then
Loved the editing this episode, thank you Kortney 🙏
Best nostalgic video :3
Those were amazing as always since then
Pokemon in real life was a youtube changing series ngl.
All of my friends were talking about it! What are our chances of a flashback episode about a certain neighbor? 🦩 👑
This was actually the first thing I ever watched from smosh as a kid; great videos as always!
I remember on the old podcast they mentioned this, but it’s so nice hearing a more detailed story from the both of them :)💜
Pokemon IRL is the reason why I watched Smosh.
You guys have came so far and made hilarious content. Don’t be hard on yourselves! I miss early UA-cam.
considering this is the video that i was introduced to smosh, this brings back so many memories :)
I remember my first time watching this. It was after school and my teacher showed it to me. When I got home I looked up Smosh and watched everything.
I have headphones in and legitimately just flinched/swatted at my ear when I heard the bug sound lol
We’ve come back to the good era now that Anthony is back. The universe was out of balance since Harambe, but now we can all rest easily for the first time since 2016
the first pokemon in real life is probably my personal most watched youtube video. i had it downloaded on my ipod nano. there was a point in time when i could probably recite it verbatim
This was my favorite smosh video back then
I've been binge watching smosh, pit, games channel video and seeing ian become more and more fashionable makes me go wow
The acid bottle is from the Xtreme Sleepover video! I remember because that's one of my favorite videos. Keep up the amazing work!
I've been really enjoying these flashback with smosh episodes, I can't wait to see more in the future!
I don't remember for sure what the first video I watched was. I don't think it was the pokemon video I really enjoyed lunchtime and opening mail, I enjoyed the silly videos also they always made me smile or laugh and it was a sense of comfort you guys gave me a sense of family with your videos
I swear, this series was one of your best. I remember laughing with my friends in 7th grade. Good times.
I was looking forward to this one! Pokemon in Real Life is one of my all time favorite Smosh videos
I would love them to watch the rest of the series and react to them
I miss the old days but love that smosh was bought back and given back to them. Thank you mythical and thank you smosh.
Kortney’s edits are quickly becoming my favorite
I love how when i was younger I loved Ian so much more but now that im older I just know how much better Anthony is.
These videos are great company as Im cozy in bed eating a meal. Thank y’all for making my days easier!
I had said before that if Ian and Anthony got back together it’d make youtube a better platform again, and I’m glad I was right. Everytime I see SMOSH uploaded in my notifications I feel a bit more happy inside.
The acid bottle is from video where Ian is on a commercial at like 3am and you guys have to stay awake
i love these flashback videos. i love how they're developing, too.
Petition for smosh to watch the 1 hour special
some shit shayne would do tbh
This was my first SMOSH video I ever watched. I found it on the Top Favourite on the home page and you can say the rest was history
ACID BOTTLE IS FROM EXTREME SLEEPOVER. Anthony's electrocuted nipples are iconic
Pokemon in real life is the first smosh video I ever watched. I have been hooked ever since!
The acid bottle is from the Extreme Sleepover
God kid me watched the german dubs of these videos so many times, I was OBSESSED
I remember Pokemon in Real Life was the first Smosh series I watched in its entirety and they’re still fucking funny 😆

I NEED the Boxman figure for my home.
Pokemon videos made me find Smosh and I'm still thankful for it ☺️
I remember watching all of these skits when I was little. What found memories 🥹
Holy moly. In middle school my friends and I used to quote the "you looked at me funny! Leeeeets battle!" dialogue all the time and I completely forgot.
I hope they do an episode rewatching the video where they were inside of Super Mario!! That was a classic!
I remember the Mis Ojos video. I rewatched the video it’s in not too long ago.
The Pokémon smosh will be my favorite of all time beside food battle. Food Battle will always be the Best One Ever.
The Smosh Jingle is def the next evolution of the into. Please include the classic "shut up" in the wicked guitar riff.
I’m always excited for a new episode for a new flashback with Smosh
The acid bottle is from the Xtreme Sleepover video :) one of my favorites
Best part of every Friday
Is knowing that you don't have to work tomorrow

This is the first smosh video my brother showed me. It wasn't his first video but it is the one that he thought i would like.
Omg I'm imagining a multiverse where the video was not removed and got 10 to 20 billion views as they said. Hoooo the world would be so different
