| 6 | ''[[https://www.youtube.com/user/smosh Smosh]]'' is a Website/YouTube sketch comedy channel and independent production company co-founded by Ian Hecox and Anthony Padilla. |
| 7 | |
| 8 | The duo began working together in the early 2000s with Flash animations on sites like Website/{{Newgrounds}} and the Smosh.com website. They moved to [=YouTube=] in the fall of 2005, and became popular for their theme song lipsyncs; their ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'' theme song lipsync was once the most-viewed video on [=YouTube=] before a copyright takedown. |

| 10 | The Smosh Squad is an expanded crew of regulars consisting of Shayne Topp, Olivia Sui, Courtney Miller, Noah Grossman, Damien Haas, Jacklyn Uweh, Kimmy Jimenez, and Keith Leak. |

In early November 2018, Defy Media, Smosh's parent company, shut down and brought both Smosh and Smosh Games to a hiatus. WebVideo/RhettAndLink's Mythical Entertainment later acquired Smosh in February 2019. |
| 24 | |
| 25 | To the surprise of many, it was [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DwsZggwPRKc announced]] in mid-2023 that Anthony and Ian had reconnected and successfully reacquired the Smosh brand, and that Anthony was returning as a cast member in Smosh. They stated that they intend to bring the main Smosh channel back to its roots with sketch videos primarily starring Ian and Anthony, while the other channels (Smosh Pit, Smosh Games, etc.) will largely stay the same as they've been. |

| 127 | * BlackDudeDiesFirst: Invoked by Anthony, who sends his friend the Molester Moon emoji because "he's not a main character and he's a minority; so he's pretty expendable." |

| 151 | * ClusterFBomb: When use "Curse" technique in ''5'', Chespin literally says many curse words. |
| 152 | * CoolOldGuy: Downplayed with Old Man. In ''1'', he clearly tries to be a cool old guy, but he increasingly becomes GrumpyOldMan every time Ash shows his lack of knowledge about various (mostly silly) things in the video's universe. |
| 153 | * DudeLooksLikeALady: Jigglypuff in ''4'' is explicitly addressed as male by the Old Man. |
| 154 | * EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: As mentioned above, the "Charizard Can't Learn Fly" gag was based on this; in ''Pocket Monsters Red, Green and Blue'' and ''Pokemon Red & Blue'', Charizard was unable to learn fly. |

| 167 | * {{Troll}}: Old Man in ''3''. He advised Ash to fight Hispter to get Pokeflute. The fight is so frustrating for Ash since Hipster uses Metapod that is nothing but a StoneWall, wasting so much of his time with the battle. After winning the battle by scaring Hipster by threatening him to attack with Charizard, it turns out Hipster doesn't have the flute at all and gave Ash an Okarina instead. Then he told Ash Pokeflute can only be bought from the Old Man. Ash then angrily asks he want to buy Pokeflute from Old Man, who said Ash has to battle him first, with his ''six'' Metapods. |
| 168 | * UnstoppableRage: Ash in ''5'' when he discovered that none of his three Pokemon (Pikachu, Charizard, Jigglypuff) can't learn "Cut" technique from HM-Cut to cut the bushes that preventing him to take an item, so he angrily cut the bushes himself and take the item, only to find another HM-Cut. So then, he unleashes his next anger to the Old Man. |
| 169 | * WhoNamesTheirKidDude: In ''5'', Hipster's Chespin is named "[[Music/JustinBieber Belieber4Evr]]". When Ash questions this, he tells him that it's from Wonder Trading with another Trainer, and you can't change names of traded Pokémon. |
| 170 | * WingsDoNothing: In ''3'', Charizard apparently can't learn "Fly" technique despite having wings as Ash pointed out. |

| 201 | ** "My Bobblehead is Evil:" The bobblehead's reasons for killing Ian include being stupid, stealing Anthony's Gogurts, and singing crappy songs in the shower. |
| 202 | * ArtisticLicenseLawEnforcement: Sgt. Anous is prone to whipping out his gun and [[MoreDakka excessively shooting unarmed people]] without warning for [[FelonyMisdemeanor minor infractions]] or [[PoliceBrutality no real crime at all]]. Such incidents include: improperly conjugating on an online forums, dumping your girlfriend, drinking tap water out of a used water bottle, parking in a handicap spot and "resisting arrest" by moving their car out of that spot, and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking jaywalking]]. This is based on [[BlackAndWhiteInsanity a world-view that the world is made-up exclusively of "good for nothing criminals" and law enforcement]]. He also sees nothing wrong with prank-calling other emergency services and using his gun for mundane purposes. |

| 217 | --> "Ian's mom disowned him, and in her sorrow ate herself to death. [[NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer Literally. She ate herself.]] |
| 218 | * AutoIncorrect: The whole premise of "AUTOCORRECT FAIL" is Anthony trying to text Ian, only for autocorrect to mangle everything that he says into something inappropriate. This results in Ian [[MistakenForGay mistakenly thinking Anthony is trying to hit on him]]. |
| 219 | * AxCrazy: From "Most Violent Game Ever" we have the therapist. Dear God, the therapist. |
| 220 | * BadInfluencer: In "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=87SgjJUjePo ADDICTED TO PRANKING (GONE SEXUAL)]]", Ian becomes addicted to pulling practical jokes and posting them on his [=YouTube=] channel. He was inspired by another pranking [=YouTuber=] -- [=JoeyPranktubeComedy=] -- who is framed as a narcissistic dick that harasses people (physically and sexually) for views. [[spoiler:It's revealed that Anthony ''is'' [=JoeyPranktubeComedy=], having pretended to be someone else for a long con on Ian, revealing himself and then abandoning him after Ian's attempts at being a prank [=YouTuber=] leaves him homeless.]] |

| 228 | ** [[spoiler:In "My Bobblehead is Evil," just as Anthony electrocutes himself and the bobblehead's head explodes.]] |
| 229 | ** "[[https://youtu.be/gDizJA6DP-0 Good Vs. Surprisingly Good!]]" has the guys doing anything stupid...but when the Harlem Shake comes up on the list, [[TakeThat all we get is a resounding simultaneous "NO!"]] from both Anthony and Ian. |
| 230 | ** In "JURASSIC POKEMON", when Professor Oak realizes that if the entire park's power has gone out, it includes his tanning salon. |
| 231 | * BigRedButton: |
| 232 | ** "A Smoshy Christmas, Part 2" has one marked "TOWER SELF-DESTRUCT." |

| 237 | %%* BlanketTugOWar: See RunningGag below. |
| 238 | * BlessedWithSuck: The Guy Flawless skit parodies Creator/DudePerfect with a guy who never misses a trick-shot or anything else for that matter. He soon grows frustrated with his own perfection. |

| 240 | %%* BlindIdiotTranslation: Parodied in "Japanese Titanic" |
| 241 | * BloodyHilarious |
| 242 | ** "A Smoshy Christmas," in adorable claymation! [[DistancedFromCurrentEvents It's no wonder the guys decided to postpone this one after the Sandy Hook shooting...]] |
| 243 | *** By the end of the story, there's no ending Anthony can possibly come up with that doesn't include death and destruction. |
| 244 | ** "[[https://youtu.be/MS_NKaKnYnA We're In Super Mario!]] as well. |
| 245 | ---> '''Ian:''' Uh, sorry you guys are dead! |
| 246 | ** "Most Violent Game Ever:" [[spoiler:the therapist axing Ian's iPad to death, and later Ian himself.]] How glorious! Sorry, ''gorious''. |
| 247 | * BluntYes: When a cat shows up in "[[https://youtu.be/aPjEoTDk0t0 This Video is Offensive]]", after Anthony calls all the attendees of a Website/YouTube commenter convention "pussies", Ian sarcastically asks if the cat is going to complain about how offensive it was like everyone else. The cat bluntly responds in the affirmative without missing a beat, and the duo scream. |
| 248 | %%* ABoyAndHisX: "My Pet Pikachu." %% Add more context to describe their relationship and what effect it has on them. |
| 249 | * BreadEggsBreadedEggs: In "The BEST Bottled Water", Ian and Anthony talk about all the cool images you can have put on your bottled water. There's pictures of baseball, pictures of zombies, and pictures of baseball zombies, among other things. |

| 251 | *** All Natural |
| 252 | *** Contains 50,000% of Your Daily Dose of Vitamin B6 |

| 254 | ** At the end of "WE FOUND A DEAD GUY!", Anthony shows off the new, renovated living room to Ian. He got a new rug, some new furniture, and a new toilet. Yes, also in the living room. |
| 255 | * BreakingTheFourthWall: Extensively in "JURASSIC POKEMON". |
| 256 | -->'''Dr. Sattler''': Maybe we shouldn't be messing with mother nature. [[GaiasVengeance This could really come back and bite us in the ass.]] |
| 257 | -->'''Dr. Grant''': [[GenreSavvy Wow, it's almost like you're foreshadowing the events that are gonna happen]], so later when all the Pokemon break loose we'd be like, "Huh, I guess we should've listened to that smart woman and not mess with mother nature." |
| 258 | -->'''Professor Oak''': Bros, chill out! [[TemptingFate Nothing bad is gonna happen, unless of course the power were to go out in some catastrophic storm, but that'll never happen.]] |
| 259 | -->'''Narrator''': [[LampshadeHanging OR COULD IT?]] |
| 260 | * BrickJoke: |
| 261 | ** During ''Evil Fortune Cookie'', Anthony's middle name (Danger) was revisited much, much later in ''WORST ID PHOTO EVER!'' |
| 262 | ** In "A Smoshy Christmas," the viewer cannot fail to see Anthony's [[ComedicUnderwearExposure underwear-clad ass]] as he is about to start telling Ian the "story." Ian then points out towards the end that Anthony forgot to fasten his butt-flap. Part 2 ends with the underwear vanishing completely. |
| 263 | ** Electrocution by toaster in "My Bobblehead is Evil!" |
| 264 | ** In [[https://youtu.be/tZcySbmO798 I CAN HEAR YOUR THOUGHTS]], Ian is shown shaking a large bottle of soda in the corner (making it look like something else. Later, when Ian's dog begins humping him, Anthony opens the bottle of soda and it spews all over the place. |
| 265 | * ButtMonkey: Ian gets treated much worse than Anthony. Boxman also qualifies. And we can't forget Stevie. |
| 266 | * CallBack: |
| 267 | ** ''Best Toy Ever'' recreates the scene from ''Dolls'' where Ian discovers Anthony's little secret... |
| 268 | ** The throwaway line in "Stuck In A Toilet!" where Anthony complains about hating it when people record vertically. A few months later, in "iPhone 5 Revealed," the clueless dad tries to record his son's birthday party vertically, but the new iPhone [[DisproportionateRetribution catches fire and burns his hand.]] |
| 269 | ** The RunningGag of Anthony being increasingly less clothed in "Paranormal Easy Bake Oven" also returns in "iPhone 5 Revealed." It only progresses to the point where he's down to his undershirt (the pants stay on this time.) |
| 270 | ** "[[https://youtu.be/fSlRaeoJSGY&list=UUY30JRSgfhYXA6i6xX1erWg&index=1 Holy Crap, 2 Billion Views!]]" is just full of these. Among them we have: Officer Anous (shooting [[WebVideo/SmoshGames Sohinki, Lasercorn and Jovenshire]] for standing in a shower with a limit of two grown men), Boxman, and of course Friendship Always Wins! |
| 271 | ** ''WORST PROPOSALS EVER!'' has Anthony finding out that his mom is his dad, which was also mentioned in ''FIRETRUCK!'', as well as ''WORST TWIST ENDINGS EVER!'' |
| 272 | ** The forbidden hugs mentioned in "GUY'S GUIDE TO HUGGING GUYS" include the Side Hug, the Gap Hug, the Spider-Man hug, and the "Manspider Hug". |
| 273 | ** The robot costume used in "My New Best Friend is a ROBOT?" [[PropRecycling turns up again in a few other videos]], such as "HOW TO CHEAT ON YOUR GIRLFRIEND". The robot's tendency to kill people is also mentioned. |
| 274 | ** In a recent video, ''Addison Rae isn't real?'', a fan is excited to meet world-famous social media influencer Addison Rae, only to find out that she's not real and is only a "virtual influencer" created through motion capture and computer-generated graphics. The crew behind her explain to the fan that they had been working on a prototype for a virtual influencer as early as 2012 but it went really wrong: the example clip being from ''REAL VOODOO DOLL!'' when Anthony is trying to sabotage Ian's job interview by making him spazz out on top of the employer's desk and screaming out "BALLS!" repeatedly. However, because they're now owned by [[WebVideo/RhettAndLink Mythical Entertainment]] by the time the video was released, [[CurseCutShort they cut him off when he says "BALLS!"]] |
| 275 | * CampGay: The commercial director (played by Ian) in "Biggest Zit Ever!" But eventually, it turns out he's really into anything that moves. He returns in "If TV Shows Were Real," directing an episode of ''Series/JerseyShore'' and having The Situation (Anthony) punch Snooki over and over. |
| 276 | -->'''Director:''' I love my job! Do it again! This time, punch her in the uterus! |
| 277 | ** CampStraight: Claus from "Worst Online Date Ever" speaks with a lisp, has some gay mannerisms, is given a massage by a muscular black guy in his "Massage Dungeon", but he loves his supple wife a lot and, because of a commercial that said, if the users of his website won't find anyone,they get to marry Claus' hot wife,and Ian didn't find anyone,crossdresses so he won't lose her. |
| 278 | * CaptainObvious: The news reporter in "Badass New Power Rangers," when the witch starts attacking, yells that the situation "really sucks balls." |
| 279 | * CatchPhrase: |

| 281 | ** Anthony is very fond of the word 'Bitch'. |
| 282 | ** Sergeant Anous has "Stop right there!" and "Bullsh*t!", when stopping and [[NoKillLikeOverkill shooting a suspect with a ridiculous amount of bullets.]] |
| 283 | %%* CatsAreMean: ''Cat Soup''. |
| 284 | * CelebrityEndorsement: [[{{subverted}} Not exactly.]] ''Ian'' has to mention Shaun White's new snowboarding video game twice so that he can pay for his mother's beard transplant in ''Shaun White Pays For Woman's Beard Transplant''. |
| 285 | * CelebrityResemblance: |
| 286 | ** Anthony is often noted by fans for his resemblance to [[Music/PanicAtTheDisco Brendon Urie.]] |
| 287 | ** Similarly, some have noted that Ian (especially in the earlier vids) looks like Creator/ZacharyQuinto and/or [[Music/{{Chiodos}} Craig Owens]]. |
| 288 | * ChimneyEntry: Smosh pointed out in a holiday parody video that if Santa Claus tried this method of breaking and entering, he'd get stuck halfway down. The clip shows Santa's feet sticking out of the chimney mouth as he screams for help to get out as his feet are burned by the flames from the fireplace. |
| 289 | * ChromaKey: Fairly obvious when it's used, with the low budget and all. |
| 290 | * ClusterFBomb: The end of "iPhone 5 Revealed." Who knew Steve Jobs had such a potty mouth...or such a propensity for violence? |
| 291 | ** Also done by Metrosexual Hipster's [[VideoGame/PokemonXandY Chespin]] after being commanded to use Curse in "Pokemon in Real Life 5". |
| 292 | ** Ian had to tell his mom about the worst dream he had last night as part of doing Anthony's morning routine, which resulted in this. |
| 293 | * ComicallyMissingThePoint: Ian, repeatedly in "My Bobblehead is Evil!" [[spoiler:After the TwistEnding comes out, it turns out to be ObfuscatingStupidity instead.]] |
| 294 | ** Basically the entire point of "LIFE BETTER-ERS!" |
| 295 | * ConMan: The vender [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CwEp_mY_Tj0 $1 Tac Vs $1,000,000 Taco]] is just selling tacos he got two for a dollar from Jack In The Box. Yes including the supposed 'million-dollar Taco'. Though how much of a con it is, is questionable when he flatly admits what he's doing and the vloggers don't seem to care. |
| 296 | * ContinuityNod: |
| 297 | ** [[https://youtu.be/2lFfF5XLsCQ Pokemon Theme Song Revenge]] contains a number of callbacks to the original [[https://youtu.be/mOX3OmUhQoo Pokemon Theme Song video]], perhaps most notably [[spoiler:"Go, Anthonymon!"]]. |
| 298 | * ContinuityPorn: Their video celebrating 2 billion views contains pretty much every one of their characters from their 2013 videos. |
| 299 | ** Teleporting Fat Guy comes back in "Rejected Videos". Only [[spoiler: he's not so fat anymore]]. |
| 300 | ** The easy button and easy step have been reused form time to time. |
| 301 | * CoolAndUnusualPunishment: Anthony gets one in ''A Very Hairy Situation W/ Billy Mays'' when he's [[ThoroughlyMistakenIdentity mistaken]] [[CelebrityResemblance for]] Creator/BillyMays and kidnapped by terrorists. His punishment? Being forced to watch ''Series/TheHills''. |
| 302 | * CouchGag: "Shut up!" was a popular and iconic catchphrase used on the opening intros of every Smosh video until 2017, and then revived in 2023 after the two co-creators bought back the channel. At the beginning of an intro, a random clip ''always'' gets interrupte-'''''SHUT UP!''''' |
| 303 | * CrosscastRole: Due to two males being the main actors, it's bound to happen. |
| 304 | * {{Crossover}}: |
| 305 | ** Charlie the Drunk Guinea Pig appears in '''''WebVideo/TheAnnoyingOrange''': [[https://youtu.be/g_h9isVGcE8 Saw 2: Annoying Death Trap]]''. |
| 306 | ** WebVideo/TheAnnoyingOrange himself appears in ''[[https://youtu.be/-MtBaFKa_F4 HARRY POTTER DELETED SCENES!]]'' and ''[[https://youtu.be/NL9lQ-DiL80 I LOST MY HAIR!]]''. |
| 307 | ** The two also appear as a couple of random {{Mooks}} in WebAnimation/RedVsBlue season 9. |
| 308 | ** The two also appear in Freddie Wong's episode Huge Guns. |
| 309 | ** [[Creator/NigaHiga Ryan Higa]], [[LetsPlay/PewDiePie Pewds]], [[WebVideo/EpicMealTime Harley]], WebVideo/JennaMarbles and Tyler Oakley all guest-star in "The End of Christmas". |
| 310 | * CurseCutShort: See AtomicFBomb above. |
| 311 | ** Twice in "Anthony's Resurrection:" |
| 312 | --> '''Teleporting Fat Guy:''' (singing) Going through time, I will not permit. |
| 313 | --> You losers can eat my sh-(he gets punched by Ian and Anthony as they steal his Power Glove) |
| 314 | -->'''Ian:''' (after failing to save his past self from a mine field) Oh, FU-(he disappears into thin air due to his past self dying). |
| 315 | ** Also, the 1.5 Richter scale vibration on the new iPhone, prompting a woman to slyly slip it into her pants... |
| 316 | * DeadAllAlong: ''[[spoiler:THE NEW GHOSTBUSTERS]]''. |
| 317 | * DeathIsCheap: People die a lot. Most of them come back fine later. Lampshaded in ''Food Battle 2010''. |
| 318 | --> '''Ian:''' Oh, hey Anthony. |
| 319 | --> '''Anthony:''' Wait, I just came back from the dead, and you're not even surprised. |
| 320 | --> '''Ian:''' Not really, it's kinda becoming a yearly occurance. |
| 321 | ** Fun fact: In 2011, Ian and Anthony died 46 and 31 times, respectively. |
| 322 | ** At the end of 2012, this has been explained as actually being a bunch of clones. Anthony's died 31 times, Ian's 39. |
| 323 | * DeconstructiveParody: [[http://youtu.be/HO9s21ZdTUE BADASS NEW POWER RANGERS]]. |
| 324 | * {{Defictionalization}} |
| 325 | ** In-universe, in "5,000,000 Subscribers" where the guys claim that they shoot all their videos on a Hollywood soundstage made up to look like a regular house (with nipple-shaped flesh-tone throat mikes of the kind found in [[Literature/ArtemisFowl action and]] [[Literature/SigmaForce espionage novels]] plastered all over the walls and on their chests), and all their exterior scenes are done on green screen ([[SpecialEffectsFailure expect the outside of suspiciously digital.]]) |
| 326 | ** The bobbleheads from "My Bobblehead is Evil!" [[TheMerch are actually being sold on Smosh's website.]] |
| 327 | * DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: A deleted scene from ''Ian Gets Lucky'' lists reasons why Anthony and Ian shouldn't be getting allowances. They have big noses. In case you missed it the first time it was mentioned, it shows up in a bigger size down the list. It's even [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded!]] |
| 328 | * DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: "Meat In Your Mouth" and "Dixon Cider." As if the lyrics to the songs weren't suggestive enough, the videos are full of over-the-top innuendo. |
| 329 | ** "Naval Cannon" is a deliberate TakeThat to American Gun Culture, but replaces handguns and assault rifles with naval cannons. |
| 330 | * DownerEnding: ''Stranded'', looking through the eyes of the man who is stranded. |
| 331 | -->"There's no chance of survival. There's nothing left to hold on to. I've lost all hope." |
| 332 | * DrivingStick: [[https://youtu.be/UR89UpLlldE Ian teaches Anthony how to drive a manual transmission]], with all the lurching, stalling, clutch burning and missed gears you expect. |

| 334 | * DrugsAreBad: The moral of [[https://youtu.be/WFO-twUguOQ "MOVIES ON DRUGS"]], stated explicitly numerous times. |
| 335 | * DumbBlonde: Rachel, the hottie from "That's Hot!" Ten years later, she looks 34 and is still in high school. |
| 336 | * EatThat: The "Put it in my mouth" series, which is hosted by [[PickyEater Noah]] is a show where Noah and some of his guests must try a variety of unknown (but mostly disgusting) stuffs, such as pickles, bugs, chilli shaved ice, etc. |
| 337 | * {{Emo}}: Anthony's hair was in this style for a long time untill cutting it in 2014. Apparently, he used to have an afro (and a wardrobe that would make [[Series/SavedByTheBell Screech Powers]] cringe), but it got burned off and the emo hair was a transplant. |
| 338 | * EmoTeen: Being one is the only way to survive HighSchool, according to what the Internet says in ''Four Years Foreplay''. HilarityEnsues when Ian's character shows up to school in dark clothing, guyliner, straightened hair, and (fake) facial piercings. |
| 339 | * {{Engrish}}: The birthday cake Ian got for Anthony (on his own birthday!) is written with this, because he bought it in Chinatown. |
| 340 | * EntendreFailure: During the Wandagra commercial in ''[[https://youtu.be/-MtBaFKa_F4 HARRY POTTER DELETED SCENES!]]'' |
| 341 | -->'''Woman [[CrosscastRole (Anthony)]]''': Ever since he's been using Wandagra--well, his wand has been ''really'' stiff! |
| 342 | -->'''Ian''': And she's not referring to my penis. |
| 343 | -->'''Woman [[CrosscastRole (Anthony)]]''': ...Yes I am! |
| 344 | * EuphemisticNames: Sergeant Anous's name sounds like "Anus". |
| 345 | * EvenTheGuysWantHim: |
| 346 | ** Anthony. Several guys in the channel have expressed desire to marry him. |
| 347 | ** Also, played with by freshman Ian in "That's Hot!" He thought it was due to his leather shorts, but it was really because of the pizza-flavored Hot Pocket in his transparent fanny pack. |
| 348 | ** There's also Shane, whom even Anthony describes as the most handsome guy with the best body. He's also apparently a skilled pole dancer, and his performance in one the Squad Vlog vids won the hearts of many viewers, both male and female. |
| 349 | * EvenTheSubtitlerIsStumped: [[https://youtu.be/HDaKZ6X1oxE&feature=plcp Addicted to Honey Boo Boo Child.]] |
| 350 | * EveryEpisodeEnding: "Mailtime with Smosh" episodes almost always end with one of them dying. |
| 351 | * EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep Ian's mom. |
| 352 | * EveryoneHasStandards: Ian and Anthony usually avoid religious jokes, as seen in the Rejected Videos episode in the "rejected" "If [Blank] Were Real" segment. |
| 353 | * EveryoneHatesMimes: The entire point of "Mimes are the WORST!", where all mimes are legally banned from performing in public spaces and try (and fail) at other endeavors, like bungee jumping [[TooDumbToLive (with a mime rope)]] and parenting (arrested for mime-performing sex in front of his kid.) |
| 354 | * EvilLaugh: |

| 358 | * ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: A lot of stuff, particularly the Metrosexual Hipster and "Meat In Your Mouth." |
| 359 | * ExplosiveStupidity: Anthony, with the exploding churro! |
| 360 | * EyeBeams: In quite a few videos. |
| 361 | ** One of the first examples is ''Spiderman, Spiderman''. |
| 362 | -->'''Anthony as [[ComicBook/SpiderMan Dr. Octopus]]''': Go, laser eyes. |
| 363 | -->'''Ian''': DR. OCTOPUS DOES NOT HAVE LASER- ''AGGGHHHH!'' |
| 364 | ** Also in the alternate ending for ''Breaking the Habit.'' |
| 365 | --> [[spoiler: '''Anthony''': We're zombies now!]] |
| 366 | --> [[spoiler: '''Ian''': Zombies with laser eyes! * BOOM* ]] |
| 367 | * FearInducedIdiocy: In "My Pet Pikachu", Pikachu (who turns out to be a hobo in disguise) shoots out an orb of electricity to neutralize a fire, only for Ian to step in the orb's path. He just stands there panicking, even though the orb is clearly moving slowly enough for him to step out of the way, much to Anthony's annoyance. Ian then [[HarmlessElectrocution gets comically electrocuted]]. |
| 368 | %%* FlashStep: The Neighbour. |
| 369 | * FlippingTheBird: Max in "Hardcore Max 2". |
| 370 | ** Metrosexual Hipster flips the bird twice in "Pokemon in Real Life 3". |
| 371 | ** The puppeteers do this [[RunningGag a lot]] in "The End of Christmas". |
| 372 | ** Exaggerated at the end of "[[https://youtu.be/uuA-7qxd2A0&t=3m57s Manspider]]". |
| 373 | ** In "I HAVE KIRBY POWERS", Ian gives Anthony the finger when he asks Ian to "flip the bird". [[VisualPun It turns out that he wanted him to flip the dead bird next to Ian at him]]. |
| 374 | * FreezeFrameBonus: In "My Stupid Dying Grandpa," as Ian is forced to kiss the face of Aunt Jemima to get rid of his fear, increasingly demonic-looking split-second shots of Aunt Jemima's face flash on screen. |
| 375 | ** In "Magic Keyboard", after Anthony [[spoiler: deletes the world and doesn't have any save files to load]], a Blue Screen of Death appears, saying "We didn't add anything funny here, so unpause the video, dumbass." |
| 376 | * FriendshipMoment: ''Left-Handed''. "Friendship always wins!" |
| 377 | * FullNameBasis: "So, Harley from WebVideo/EpicMealTime fame..." |
| 378 | * FuneralCut: Scenes of Ian and Anthony performing dangerous stunts only to suddenly cut to a badly-photoshopped gravestone immediately afterwards are usually played as a gag. |
| 379 | * GenericName: "Bob... Bob Jones..." |
| 380 | * GenderBender: In "Smosh Snatchers", two black girls who are envious of the duo's success decide to undergo plastic surgery to become and then kill them. It doesn't succeed when the Ian impostor mentions the duo's like of Music/SpiceGirls, which was apparently supposed to be kept secret between both of them. Also invoked in one video when Ian mentions how much he would [[ManIFeelLikeAWoman just grope himself if he were a girl.]] |
| 381 | * GenerationXerox: Anthony disguises as his grandma in "Biggest Zit Ever," and the commercial director remarks on how much "she" looks like Anthony before hitting on her, forcing Anthony to [[BrokenMasquerade abandon the disguise.]] |

| 383 | * GoodnessExam: Parodied in "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1rcLovRGm4w WORST ID PHOTO EVER!]]". A RunningGag has people calling Anthony a "puppy moolester", claiming that by petting a puppy without asking its permission first, that means he's "moolesting" it. One of the people calling him a "puppy moolester" is an ornery DMV lady who insists that he has to retake his driver's exam if he wants to change the picture on his ID, and she insists that he has to do it without "moolesting" a puppy she brought with her. He doesn't even make it out of the parking space before she fails him for petting it. |
| 384 | * GoofyPrintUnderwear: Anthony wears [=SpongeBob=] boxers a lot, especially when he has to show his underwear on camera. |
| 385 | ** Ian doesn't usually show underwear that much, but we ''do'' very often see a Union-Jack pattern on his belt. |
| 386 | %%* GrammarNazi: ''Grammar Police''. |
| 387 | * GratuitousGerman: The reason Ian doesn't help out Anthony in "Stuck In A Toilet!" is because he's busy learning German to [[NoodleIncident prepare for Nazi zombies...again]]. |
| 388 | --> How about this phrase, you stupid American? I just pooped my lederhosen! ''Ich scheiße auf meine Lederhosen!'' |
| 389 | %%* GratuitousSpanish: ''Anthony is Mexican''. |
| 390 | %%* GreenAesop: ''Amazing New Drink!''(which is tap water) |
| 391 | * GreenEyedMonster: Whenever Anthony has any form of success, Ian becomes extremely jealous and resorts to name-calling and screaming rants. ''Ex: Male Model, A Hairy Situation w/ Billy Mays, Anthony Poses for Playgirl?!'' and ''The Famous Cheese Guy.'' |
| 392 | * GroinAttack: |
| 393 | ** Woe be onto you if you happen to be Anthony's genitals, which to date, have been [[spoiler: kicked, turned into gold, slammed between a car door and sliced off by adamantium claws!]] |
| 394 | ** Ian gets this too sometimes, as alluded to in "That's Hot!" when his mom reminds him of the time he put his you-know-what in the microwave... |
| 395 | ** And on Ian's bucket list, he wants to "kick each member of Music/OneDirection in the taint." |
| 396 | ** The ending of Boxman 2.0. |
| 397 | * HauntedHouse: Ian and Anthony learn that Anthony's house is haunted when they hear strange noises in the house. They soon learn the ghost is friendly, but there may be an unfriendly ghost when they heard a noise that wasn't the friendly ghost's doing. |
| 398 | * HeteroSexualLifePartners: Ian and Anthony; very much so. |
| 399 | * HighSchool: |
| 400 | ** Smosh and I Set My Friends On Fire sing about being a Freshman in ''Four Years Foreplay''. |
| 401 | ** Their "True Story" cartoons and "That's Hot!" all depict events that are said to have happened to the guys in high school. |
| 402 | * HollywoodCalifornia: ''The California Stereotype Experiment''. "Ian is deadset on proving wrong the stereotype that everyone in California surfs or lives next to a movie star. Unfortunately for him and Anthony the stereotype... may be true." |
| 403 | * HollywoodJehovahsWitness: "The Church of Religiontology" is a mix between this and Hollywood Scientology. |
| 404 | * HomoeroticSubtext: |
| 405 | ** In "PARANORMAL EASY BAKE OVEN", Anthony makes Ian sleep in his bed with him, and is even naked on the final night. Anthony also tried to make out with Ian in his sleep. |
| 406 | ** "My Magical Tapeworm" has Anthony accidentally sprouting breasts thanks to the eponymous worm, and Ian groping them. |
| 407 | * HomosexualReproduction: In "I have a secret son" when two people hold each other's right hands, the mommy gets pregnant and the baby pops out of the mommy's tummy. Which happened to Anthony when he held Stevie's right hand, [[InstantlyProvenWrong who was trying to prove that holding hands doesn't result in a baby]]. |
| 408 | * HypocriticalHumor: In the PleaseSubscribeToOurChannel section of "[=PEN15=] CLUB": |
| 409 | -->'''Voiceover''': Thanks for subscribing! Oh, and ask your friends if they want to join the [=PEN15=] Club. And then write [=PEN15=] on their hands. It's a really funny joke. (chuckles) Actually, someone did it to me. And I didn't think it was funny at all!! |
| 410 | * IdiotHair: The infomercial salesman in the [[https://youtu.be/b2M05Sa5aMo Runbrella commercial]] has one. |
| 411 | * IdiotHero: Anthony and Ian are shown as morons when they play themselves in their videos. Sometimes, however, one will be smarter than the other (in the earlier videos, Anthony usually took the role of the smarter guy, though later videos had Ian be the smarter one). |
| 412 | * IncrediblyLamePun: |
| 413 | ** [[spoiler:At the end of "My Pet Pikachu," Pikachu turns out to be a bum who stole Anthony's costume, so he shanks the guys and leaves. Anthony yells, "Shanks for that!" Then the subtitle reads, "RIP Anthony and Ian: Dead By Horrible Puns."]] |
| 414 | ** The CouchGag for "Dixon Cider" has Anthony ask, "You guys wanna hear a punny joke?" Which also foreshadows [[AccidentalInnuendo the whole point of the video]]. |
| 415 | ** In [[https://youtu.be/Oi2jIyeTI3g SMOSH VS ZOMBIES]], Anthony says "Hey zombies, don't lose your ''head!''" before shooting at them and [[ATeamFiring missing all of them]]. |
| 416 | * InformedAttractiveness: Many of the "girls" in the show, particularly because they're more often than not [[CrosscastRole very obviously played by one of the guys.]] |
| 417 | * InsaneTrollLogic: The therapist in "Most Violent Game Ever!" must [[AxCrazy kill Ian]] before ''he'' becomes violent! (Insert EvilLaugh here) |
| 418 | * ItRunsOnNonsenseoleum: Most Smosh vids, but the Food Battles take this up to eleven (and even [[LampshadeHanging lampshade it]] in Food Battle 2012.) |
| 419 | * {{Japandering}}: Spoofed in their "Extreme Sleepover!" sketch, in which Ian's commercial for a Japanese company is set to air, but due to regional differences, will be shown in the States at 3am. Eager to catch the commercial's debut on time, Ian and Anthony spends the entire skit trying to stay awake to the point where they are borderline torturing themselves until 3am... [[spoiler: at which point Anthony (and the audience) finds out Ian is the star of a diaper commercial. "SUMO PEE BLOCKER!"]] |
| 420 | * JumpScare: In the "supersonic screeching" segment of [[https://youtu.be/woMQRKuIB48 Super Powers!]], Anthony is standing far away holding several objects. He is far enough not to be able to hear him at all. That is until Ian suddenly pops up close to the camera and screams really loud. |
| 421 | -->'''Anthony:''' Hey, so, the funny thing about this is if you actually look really closely, you can see-\ |
| 422 | '''Ian:''' '''''AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!''''' |
| 423 | * KickedOutOfHeaven: PlayedForLaughs in a sketch about the [[HellOfAHeaven bad parts of Heaven]]. One of them is that your clothes must be spotlessly white at all times, and the second they get dirty, you get sent straight to hell. |
| 424 | * LiteralMetaphor: In We're Stuck Together! |
| 425 | --> '''Bangs Boss:'' So hot... |
| 426 | --> (Shot shows Anthony and Ian in a cat fight) |
| 427 | --> '''Game show Judge:'''' You like four boobs too? |
| 428 | --> '''Bangs Boss:''' No, you're coffee is spilling all over my feet! IT'S BURNING MY FLESH OFF! |
| 429 | --> (cuts to the Bangs Boss's feet, which are now skeletonized) |
| 430 | * LactatingMale: Discussed in "I HAVE KIRBY POWERS!". When Anthony inhales what he thinks is a woman ([[DudeLooksLikeALady but is actually a crossdressing male prostitute named Bruce]]), he wonders why he didn't get any "cool girl powers" like being able to shoot milk out of his nipples. |
| 431 | * MajorInjuryUnderreaction[=/=]MinorInjuryOverreaction: The boys can shrug off things like a gunshot wound and yet go into screaming hysteria over a paper cut. |
| 432 | * ManChild: Ian, usually, but everyone has their moments. |
| 433 | * ManlyTears: Ian in ''The Truth Behind My Playgirl Shoot'', when Anthony admits that the shoot was fake. |

| 435 | * MegaphoneGag: In "22 CRAZY VINES (That Don't Exist)", one of the "Timmy the Time-Traveling Troll" segments shows Timmy going to when dinosaurs existed. He gleefully yells through a megaphone that they're eventually going to be killed by an asteroid. |
| 436 | * MegatonPunch: In a video exclusive to Smosh.com, Anthony (playing Edward from ''Literature/TheTwilightSaga'') buys blood from a dealer in a way similar to a drug deal. When he realizes it's fake blood, he Falcon Punches the dealer. |
| 437 | * MistakenForJunkie: A running gag. An old man walks by, sees Smosh's antics and bemoans "Friggin' bath salts!" |
| 438 | * MistakenForRacist: Anthony in ''I'M NOT RACIST!!!''. |
| 439 | * MistakenForSuperpowered: In "MY MUTANT RASH!", Ian and Anthony start developing a weird rash after finding a mysterious meteor. They also begin to develop powers (which are actually just mundane tricks they blow out of proportion) like the ability to bend pencils (the Rubber Pencil Trick) and try to psychically control a random bystander (when really he just gets a brain freeze from his drink). The fact that TheMenInBlack come to their door to bother them only feeds into their delusions. By the end of the video, it is revealed that the meteor was a lump of calcified feces dumped from a space-station and the rash they got was a bad bacterial infection they got from eating (and eating off of) the "meteor". |
| 440 | * MoodWhiplash: "*NEW* Smosh Reality TV Show!" starts off showing how actually boring most of Anthony and Ian's production process is. Then it suddenly reveals that the guys apparently run a meth lab and a human trafficking ring. |
| 441 | * {{Mon}}: "Go, Anthonymon!" in ''Pokémon Theme.'' |
| 442 | * MooseAndMapleSyrup: Exaggerated in "A Smoshy Christmas," in which the Mountie running border patrol has a [[WhatTheHellIsThatAccent hilariously bad accent]] that seems to waver between Newfie and [[{{Oireland}} Oirish.]] |
| 443 | * MoreDakka: Sergeant Anous shoots his victims with a ridiculous number of bullets, from a handgun. |
| 444 | * MrFanservice: Anthony got the most amount of {{shirtless scene}}s, wearing skimpy outfits and even crossdressing. After his departure from Smosh, Shayne has been the person with the most shirtless scenes, being shirtless in the first video he featured in and with his recently introduced Shayne the Stripper persona. |
| 445 | * MundaneMadeAwesome: The video officially introducing WebVideo/SmoshGames to the world has Anthony complaining about the generic-ness of their new channel name, but Ian thinks that same generic-ness makes it awesome. |
| 446 | * TheMusical: The 2-part 2013 Christmas special. |
| 447 | * MySisterIsOffLimits: In one video, Anthony's sister (played by Anthony) starts dating Ian, and Anthony's not too happy about that. |
| 448 | * NakedPeopleAreFunny: Frequently, accompanied with appropriate {{pixellation}}. Exaggerated with "I'M NAKED!", even though [[spoiler:Ian's the only one in the buff.]] |
| 449 | * NerdsAreVirgins: Ian's high school yearbook photo in "Biggest Zit Ever" shows a complete and utter nerd, captioned "Most Likely To Remain a Virgin." |

| 453 | ** [[spoiler:"GOD DAMN IT PREDATOR!!!!"]] |
| 454 | * NoPeekingRequest: In "MY BATHROOM SECRET", Ian walks into a bathroom stall. He insists that [[ShyBladder he can't pee while Anthony is looking at him]] (despite the fact [[RuleOfFunny Anthony can't technically see him since he's behind a door]]), so he tells Anthony to look away. Anthony finds out that every time he glances at Ian's stall, Ian stops peeing. [[OverlyLongGag This happens several times]] until Ian screams at him to cut it out. |
| 455 | * ObfuscatingStupidity: [[spoiler: Ian in "My Bobblehead is Evil".]] |
| 456 | * OnlySaneMan: Ian and Anthony could play tennis with this role, though Anthony tends to be this most of the time, especially at the end of the " If ___ was Real" videos. |
| 457 | ** Subverted in ''HITCHHIKING DISASTER!''. Ian has to put up with Anthony having a funeral for his pet rock, locking the car, and leaving his keys, and throwing his only pair of car keys at ''a bear''. [[spoiler: Turns out, Ian left his door open.]] |
| 458 | * PapaBear: The little girl's dad in "My Stupid Dying Grandpa." When Ian steals her cookie, he starts whaling on him like nobody's business, complete with SpaghettiWestern background music. |
| 459 | * PaperThinDisguise: Anthony uses one to trick Ian into believing that he's the tooth fairy. |
| 460 | * ParodyName: Look closely at the screen on the iPhone in "My Mail Order Bride" and "iPhone 5 Revealed." You can see, in the upper left corner, "GAYT&T." Possibly a TakeThat. |
| 461 | * PepperSneeze: In "LONGEST STARING CONTEST", when Ian (and Anthony, still staring at one another) goes to his date's house, she ''just so happens'' to have some of her mom's fresh ground pepper, and then the inevitable occurs... |
| 462 | * PermaStubble: Ian can always be recognized by this. |
| 463 | * PhallicWeapon: Link insists Zelda loves his master sword in The Legend of Zelda Rap. |
| 464 | * PickyEater: Noah is a very picky with his food and doesn't really like to eat anything besides plain cheese pizza. Which is why he gets to host the "[[EatThat Put it in your mouth]]" series to help him get over his pickiness. |
| 465 | * PoliceBrutality: PlayedForLaughs, in which the 'police' usually resort to lethal force. [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill By shooting the target continuously for five seconds]]. |
| 466 | * PoliticalOvercorrectness: "Woke Kids Games", which was later renamed "[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin What if board games were politically correct?]]". |
| 467 | * PracticalJoke: The entirety of "[[spoiler:My Stupid Dying Grandpa]]" turns out to be a huge one orchestrated by Anthony, Ian's mom, and [[spoiler:Grandpa.]] |
| 468 | * PreAssKickingOneLiner: |
| 469 | ** In [[https://youtu.be/KDj6ySghJ3c A Very Hairy Situation]] |
| 470 | --> '''Ian:''' I don't think you understand... ''(cocks gun)'' You don't [[SoundEffectBleep F*** ]]... '''WITH MY BEST FRIEND!!!''' |
| 471 | ** [[spoiler: Happy Kwanzaa mother-f***er! ]] |
| 472 | * PropellerHatOfWhimsy: Billy Hamburger is a recurring character played by Ian Hecox, usually acting as a "child" character that is grievously wounded or bullied. |
| 473 | %%* RealAfterAll: |
| 474 | %%** [[spoiler: Bigfoot and zombies]] |
| 475 | %%** The tooth fairy. |
| 476 | * RealNameAsAnAlias: In the Pole Dancing squad vlog, the crew was asked to pick "stripper names" for themselves. Courtney wanted to go with "Chaunces", but everyone else agrees that "Courtney" already sounds like a stripper enough, so she just went with her own name. |
| 477 | * RealityWarper: The narrator in "''Epic Trailer Gone Wrong''" can make anything happen just by saying, "In a world where {something happens}...", or, "In a world without {something that goes away}...". But he's eventually HoistByHisOwnPetard when the trailer's protagonist gets fed up with his shenanigans and decides to become a narrator himself for revenge. |
| 478 | * RedEyesTakeWarning: Whenever Anthony's eyes turn red, it means he's brainwashed by something. |
| 479 | * RedScare: Ian being a [[CloudCuckooLander tad silly, as usual,]] mentions this briefly when Anthony announces their new [[http://www.smosh.com/smosh-pit Smosh Pit]] feature for the site. |
| 480 | * RedShirt: Billy in "JURASSIC POKEMON". [[spoiler:He happens to [[ScreamsLikeALittleGirl scream like a little girl]], which annoys the hell out of Grant and Sattler to the point where they purposely leave him behind.]] |
| 481 | -->'''Ian''': I've been digging this hole for two weeks straight, for no reason whatsoever?! [...] You know what? I'm going to continue to dig this hole, and when I'm done, I'm turning it into a ''bomb shelter!'' And when the commies nuke us, guess who's not invited? YOU! ''And'' Jon Gosselin! * Digs* |
| 482 | * RevengePornBlackmail: {{Exaggerated|Trope}} in "[[https://youtu.be/7187SoBl6d0?si=fRxep3kwIVyqikMj TEXTING GONE WRONG]]." Timothy, who just broke up with Claire, threatens to take their dog with him, but Claire then threatens him with sending his nude pictures to everyone if he does so, up until Timothy threatens ''her'' with sending her nudes to everyone. When Claire reveals that she deleted all her nudes beforehand, Timothy reveals that he sent her nudes to Roger beforehand too for him to threaten her, up until Claire threatens to release Roger's nudes on his girlfriend's phone that she borrowed. This all leads to a snowball effect where Timothy's grandparents and troops of many more people come to threaten each other with the release of their nudes until Timothy and Claire [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone realize that they've taken it too far]], and try to stop the fighting until Claire accidentally drops her phone and sends Timothy's nudes, which leads everyone else to send their phones' nudes too and to everyone to apparently die. |
| 483 | * RidiculouslyAliveUndead: Discussed and defied in "Twilight: New Moon Deleted Scenes 1". [[Film/{{Twilight}} Bella]] asks Edward if vampires defecate, to which he responds that [[NobodyPoops they don't]]. Bella is confused because ''Literature/EveryonePoops'' says that everybody does that. |
| 484 | * RunningGag: |
| 485 | ** Throughout the blooper reel of the Zelda rap, the sword sheath keeps falling off on the first take of a scene. |
| 486 | ** Anthony and Ian [[spoiler:die]] in most Mailtime with Smosh. |
| 487 | ** Cletus screaming in terror at the end of the Neighbour videos. |
| 488 | ** Ian frequently claims to be hurt in female reproductive parts. |
| 489 | ** Part of their BaitAndSwitch humor is that they are frequently shown to appear to be doing something sexual, only for the camera angle to change and reveal that they are doing a mundane activity in an odd pose. |
| 490 | ** "Paranormal Easy Bake Oven" gets in quite a few, mostly when [[ThereIsOnlyOneBed Ian and Anthony have to sleep in the same bed four nights in a row]]. Examples: |
| 491 | *** The guys going to sleep several hours earlier each night (until it's absurdly early, like 4:30pm early.) |
| 492 | *** Anthony wearing fewer clothes each night. |
| 493 | *** Ian building up a wall of pillows to stop Anthony from touching him in his sleep (eventually Anthony just starts touching himself). Doesn't stop the latter from [[BlanketTugOWar pulling the blanket over to his side of the bed, though.]] |
| 494 | ** Ian always buy random items that gets him and Anthony killed(like the easy bake oven, or bot bestfriend). |
| 495 | * SassyBlackWoman: The "Oh, ''hell'' no!" lady. |
| 496 | * SceneryCensor: A form of this in "Biggest Zit Ever:" Anthony holds a potted plant in front of his face to hide the zit. |
| 497 | * ScreamerPrank: Parodied. In the episode ''Super Powers!'' Anthony is standing far away holding several objects. He is far enough not to be able to hear him at all. That is until Ian suddenly pops up close to the camera and screams really loud. |
| 498 | -->'''Anthony:''' Hey, so, the funny thing about this is if you actually look really closely, you can see-\ |
| 499 | '''Ian:''' '''''AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!''''' |
| 500 | * ScrewYourself: |
| 501 | -->'''Anthony's Girlfriend''': I have something to tell you. |
| 502 | -->'''Anthony''': What? |
| 503 | -->'''Anthony's Girlfriend (who suddenly turns into him)''': I AM you! |
| 504 | * SelfDeprecation: |
| 505 | ** Anthony has said that "Stranded" winning the 2006 [=YouTube=] Award for Best Comedy showed how little comedy there was back when [=YouTube=] started, because apparently there had to have been no competition for their short to win. |
| 506 | ** Shayne and Damien every now and then take a stab at their career in Disney Channel from their ''So Random'' days. |
| 507 | ** Ian's 'torture device' for the Talyor Swift fan they kidnap in "WE SUMMONED A DEMON!", the first video since Ian and Anthony reacquired Smosh, happens to be a boxset for ''Smosh: The Movie''. |
| 508 | * SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: Ian is often the sensitive guy and Anthony the manly man. |
| 509 | ** To back this up, Ian seems to get insulted a bit more easily than Anthony, and has also cried for real on camera. |
| 510 | ** Even in WebVideo/{{React}}, most prominently in Knife Game Song. You can clearly see Ian scared for the man playing the knife game, while Anthony gets excited, even shouting "Faster, faster!" |
| 511 | * SerialEscalation: "Sexting Gone Wrong" does this on a MASSIVE scale. |
| 512 | --> '''Ian:''' If you want someone to see you naked, do it in person. Practice safe sext. |
| 513 | * SeriousBusiness |
| 514 | ** The [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Grammar Police]] video. Grammar is serious business. |
| 515 | * ShaggyDogStory: "LONGEST STARING CONTEST"; after Ian and Anthony have a big staring contest for the last pizza roll, [[spoiler:they both end up blinking at the same time, decide to split the roll, and end up coming home to see that Stevie has already eaten it.]] |
| 516 | * ShirtlessScene: ''[[MrFanservice Anthony]] Gets Engaged''. |
| 517 | ** Both the guys get this on occasion. PlayedForLaughs most of the time, especially when Ian wants to be a male model. |
| 518 | *** Three words: Smosh Summer Games (even in Smosh Winter Games) |
| 519 | * ShoutOut: |
| 520 | ** Two in "My Pet Pikachu" - Ian's [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePony pony shirt,]] and [[Film/HomeAlone the Talkboy.]] |
| 521 | ** "Dixon Cider" has Ian and Anthony both with [[Film/{{Borat}} strategically-placed long black censor bars.]] |
| 522 | ** The CouchGag of "How To Cover Up a Murder" has someone saying ''[[Film/TheShining "Reeeedruuuuummm..."]]'' |
| 523 | ** There's one to ''Film/{{Spawn|1997}}'' in "Left-Handed" when Ian tells off a robber, "You don't have the guts!" |
| 524 | * SkewedPriorities: In "WE SUMMONED A DEMON!", Anthony brings in a homeless man [[ItMakesSenseInContext to sacrifice for Taylor Swift tickets]] because he sees them as largely unloved and expandable. Ian chides Anthony for this action, because the more sensitive term is ''Unhoused'' people. |
| 525 | * SleepCute: Face it. They're both adorable when they're asleep. |
| 526 | %%* SoundEffectBleep |
| 527 | * SpitTake: Done by both boys with milk when they look at the sales of Ian's [[CouchGag SHUT! UP!]] Droid phone app in ''Ian Gets Lucky''... |
| 528 | ** [[spoiler: Done [[RuleOfThree once more(!)]] when Anthony tries to take another sip of the milk. "Probably don't wanna drink that, I spit in that."]] |
| 529 | * SpoofAesop: ''Real Death Note'': "Books are dangerous. Play more video games." |
| 530 | * StatusQuoIsGod: Very good thing too, otherwise we'd be seeing not Ian and Anthony but their [[Literature/HarryPotterAndTheGobletOfFire extra-concentrated ghosts.]] |
| 531 | * StockScream: The "REAL WATCH DOGS HACKS!" video has the Wilhelm scream when Bad Guy #1 falls into the ball pit. |
| 532 | * StrawVegetarian: Gordon the vegan, who often pops up in the ''Every [BLANK] Ever'' series, going on screaming tirades whenever the topic of meat and dairy comes up. |
| 533 | * StuckInAChimney: Pointed out in a holiday parody video that if Santa Claus tried this method of breaking and entering, he'd get stuck halfway down. The clip shows Santa's feet sticking out of the chimney mouth as he screams for help to get out as his feet are burned by the flames from the fireplace. |
| 534 | * StuffBlowingUp: "Holy Crap, 2 Billion Views!" has one that dominates almost the entire second half of the vid - the preparation for, and finally the actual act of, blowing up a commemorative cake baked by [[Series/AceOfCakes Duff Goldman]] - in [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome glorious slow motion.]] |
| 535 | * StylisticSuck: |
| 536 | ** One of the extras, ''Anthony's Own Video'', shows us that Anthony's really incompetent with making videos by himself [[spoiler: with Ian apparently being "dead" and all....]] |
| 537 | ** Ian's mom's video in ''My Mom's AMAZING Video!". |
| 538 | ** "[[https://youtu.be/7IrfOYp2Bn4 Driver's Ed Crap Rap]]," and HOW! Justified in that it's presented as a ten-year-old vid they had just dug up. |
| 539 | * SubvertedRhymeEveryOccasion: ''Franchise/{{Transformers}} Rap'' does this. |
| 540 | -->'''Ian''': The Transformers creators wouldn't pay us to make this rap\ |
| 541 | They told us that the script was full of NONSENSE!\ |
| 542 | [[DontExplainTheJoke I bet you thought I was gonna say "crap", cause it rhymes with "rap"]], but I'm better than that! |
| 543 | * SuperDrowningSkills: Poor Anthony. He's [[https://youtu.be/FdWCjUG2ffU&feature=channel_video_title immune]] to a lot of things (cobra venom, groin punches, peer pressure, [[BodyHorror flesh eating viruses]], rabies, and shark feces), but water is not one of them. |
| 544 | * TagTeamSuicide: When ComicBook/{{Batman}} and Robin try to make a video and become Website/YouTube stars, they demonstrate things you could do as a hero. In one part of the video, Batman tries to give an injection to a rabid dog, but apparently winds up killing himself with the needle. Robin sees this, and injects himself with the shot, saying "I'll be with you soon, my love." However, Batman was just pretending to die, and when he realizes Robin is really dead, he doesn't care. He's just happy he'll be an Internet celebrity! |
| 545 | * TakeThat: |
| 546 | ** "First Person Shooters Suck!", against VideoGame/CallOfDuty (specifically ''VideoGame/ModernWarfare''). |
| 547 | ** "[[https://youtu.be/2lFfF5XLsCQ Pokemon Theme Song Revenge]]" is one big Take That against the Pokemon copyright having removed their original theme song parody video for copyright reasons. |
| 548 | ** The guys ''really'', '''Really''' don't like [[Series/JerseyShore Snooki]]. |
| 549 | ** "[[https://youtu.be/uRfOsl0nSnc Disney Star Wars]]" |
| 550 | ** From [[https://youtu.be/4t6nGWh6_FA&list=UUY30JRSgfhYXA6i6xX1erWg&index=1 My Bobblehead is Evil!]]: |
| 551 | ---> '''Anthony:''' Did you hear that?\ |
| 552 | '''Ian:''' Hear what?\ |
| 553 | '''Anthony:''' That creepy whisper that sounded like a demon voice from a cliched scary movie? |
| 554 | ** They've asked a [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Lakitu]] for a voodoo doll of Music/{{Kesha}}. |
| 555 | ** On the subject of [[MurderSimulators video games causing violence]] [[http://youtu.be/DNTzKHkxki8 here]]. |
| 556 | ** [[https://youtu.be/pBUW-jKfY7E The End of Christmas]], an obvious Take That to Christmas, but during Anthony's segment, where he complains where his mom gets him sweaters and the wrong video game, the 'wrong video game' seen is VideoGame/DukeNukemForever. |
| 557 | ** "Retarded Cats" is this to ableist language. |
| 558 | ** "WebVideo/{{MrBeast}} Copycats Have Gone Too Far" disses [=YouTubers=] who try to copy [=MrBeast=] but end up annoying and unsympathetic, and to an extent [=MrBeast=] himself. |
| 559 | * TakeThatAudience: "Ian Misses The Old Smosh" is one to those who keep commenting that the original stuff is better, including Smosh. Context: Ian gets hit in the head and thinks it's 2011, which the rest of the cast thinks could be good as (while staring directly at the camera) people have been clamoring for old Smosh in the comments. However, his antics from the old videos are treated as discomforting and out-of-place as any rational person in 2021 would. The subtlety then gets thrown right out the window. |
| 560 | -->'''Olivia:''' Guys! I'm starting to think having the old Smosh isn't such a great idea!\ |
| 561 | '''Kimmy:''' Yeah. Maybe our nostalgia for it kind of made us forget how far we've come.\ |
| 562 | '''Damian:''' ''[staring right at the camera]'' Yeah. And maybe people are forgetting how problematic things can be in 2011? |
| 563 | * TemptingFate: |
| 564 | ** Anthony just got to star in an acne-cream commercial (being specifically ordered to keep his skin clear too), and what is the first thing he does? PIZZA FACIAL!!! [[spoiler:Ultimately double-subverted. Anthony is fired not for getting a zit, but because the director wanted to ask him out when he [[AttractiveBentGender was disguised as his grandma,]] and he got mad at him for "cockblocking" him. And don't forget, the director has already been all but confirmed to be hot for Anthony.]] |
| 565 | ** Almost everything Professor Oak says in "JURASSIC POKEMON" is this up to eleven. |
| 566 | ** Dr. Sattler falls victim to it too. |
| 567 | -->'''Dr. Grant''': Are we safe in here? |
| 568 | -->'''Dr. Sattler''': Yes, unless they figure out how to open doors. |
| 569 | -->(doorbell) |
| 570 | -->'''Token Black Guy''': [[TooDumbToLive I'll get it!]] |
| 571 | ** In "REAL WATCH DOGS HACKS ft. Rob Dyrdek"; when Bad Guy #1 falls into the foam pit, Anthony and Ian comment [[ThatsGottaHurt on how that could've hurt.]] Rob says that the cubes were made of foam and that he couldn't have been hurt. [[StuffBlowingUp Cue the pit exploding.]] |
| 572 | * ThatsWhatSheSaid |
| 573 | * TheProblemWithPenIsland: Altogether now: ''"PEN15!"'' |
| 574 | * ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill: "Taken 3 Trailer" has Ian (as a young Bryan Miller) wantonly whacking everyone's neck areas and shooting kneecaps. In some cases, [[BreadEggsBreadedEggs he karate-chops the neck areas then shoots the kneecaps, several times.]] |
| 575 | * TheThingThatWouldNotLeave: Anthony's cousin who stays at Smosh's house and does nothing but play VideoGame/CallOfDuty in "Gamer Gets Troll'd!" making Smosh try to kick him out. |
| 576 | * TheyKilledKenny: Peter |
| 577 | ** Also both Ian and Anthony in their Mail Time with Smosh videos, Food Battles and some others. Frequently lampshaded in Food Battle. |
| 578 | * ThisIsForEmphasisBitch: ''Left-Handed''. |
| 579 | -->'''Ian''': [[spoiler: You just used your right hand! You owe me twenty bucks, bitch!]] |
| 580 | ** The end of Stranded: |
| 581 | --> CRACK IS WHACK. BITCH. |
| 582 | ** Ian's First Girlfriend. |
| 583 | -->Cockadoodle doo. BITCH! |
| 584 | ** Sexist burger (Lunchtime With Smosh) |
| 585 | -->"Bye!" "Bye!" "Bye?" "Bye." "Bye. . . bitch." |
| 586 | ** Siri (after she stopped trying to [[{{Yandere}} kill Ian]]): Ouch. That hurt, bitch. |
| 587 | ** How [[EveryEpisodeEnding every "Lunchtime with Smosh" video ends]]. |
| 588 | * TimeTravelingJerkass: A recurring character in the video "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NSH4kAIln4k 22 CRAZY VINES (That Don't Exist)]]" is Timmy the Time-Traveling Troll. Examples of {{troll}}ing include making Ludwig van Beethoven go deaf by making him listen to {{dubstep}}, making Hitler laugh at Borat and then telling him that he's Jewish, and telling the dinosaurs that they're all going to die from a meteor. |
| 589 | * TokenBlack: One of the characters in "JURASSIC POKEMON" is called [[GenreSavvy the Token Black Guy]]. |
| 590 | * TooDumbToLive: This trope is pretty much the bloodline of the series. |
| 591 | ** Pretty much everyone in "JURASSIC POKEMON". When one of the Pokemon bangs on the door, someone '''''actually goes to open it'''''. [[BlackDudeDiesFirst And it had to be the black one, too!]] |
| 592 | ** Peter Peter. This guy proceeds to use Anthony's idea of "Getting hit by a car and dying" in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=osPX0mulq2Q OUR VIDEO IDEAS STOLEN!]]. |
| 593 | ** In "REJECTED VIDEOS!", one skit has Ian drop a live toaster into a filled bathtub he was in because his toy, Thomas the tank Engine, suggested doing so. |
| 594 | * TotallyRadical: |
| 595 | ** Anthony's dad in "Badass New Power Rangers." |
| 596 | ---> It's Music/{{Skrillex}}, [[PrecisionFStrike you f**king moron!]] |
| 597 | ** Also, the therapist in "Most Violent Game Ever!" keeps saying "big frickin' dealio." A lot. |
| 598 | * TwistEnding |
| 599 | ** The basis for "WORST TWIST ENDINGS EVER!", listing several terrible twist endings. |
| 600 | ** "Real Ghostbusters" is not only a parody of ''Franchise/{{Ghostbusters}}'' but also of [[spoiler:''Film/TheSixthSense'']]. After you figure that out, everything makes sense...[[MindScrew sort of]]. |
| 601 | ** "My Bobblehead is Evil:" [[spoiler:Ian has an evil bobblehead, too!]] |
| 602 | ** "Smosh vs Zombies" ends with [[spoiler:Ian and Anthony realizing that they could be best friends forever if they become zombies, so they willingly get infected. The video ends to them gleefully butchering survivors while [[SoundtrackDissonance cheerful music plays]].]] |
| 603 | * UltraSuperDeathGoreFestChainsawer3000: |
| 604 | ** ''[[YourHeadAsplode Super Head Esploder 5]]'' in ''Anthony is Mexican''. |
| 605 | ** [[https://youtu.be/DNTzKHkxki8 Most Violent Game Ever]]: Super Head Esploder X, which now allows you to use your iPad's photos to make the heads you get to esplode. |
| 606 | ---> '''Ian:''' Super Head Esploder X! It's no big dealio, but if you don't download it, you too will become an axe murderer. ''Probably.'' |
| 607 | * TheUnreveal: The mime in "Mimes are the WORST!" (naturally) never talks, and when he does finally say a word, it's a PrecisionFStrike that ends up getting censor-bleeped. |
| 608 | * UnusualEuphemism: In the ''[[Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers Mighty Smoshin' POWER RANGERS]]'' video, a man stealing a kid's candy says to Ian and Anthony (who try to stop him) "Screw off, cheesefarts." |
| 609 | ** In ''2 Guys 1 Bathroom'', Ian thinks "If he sees me going to the stall, he's going to think I'm insecure and have a small tallywhacker. Wait... why'd I just call it a tallywhacker?" Then later in the video, as someone is waiting on Ian or Anthony to get done using the urinal, he exclaims: "Fine! I'll just use the stall! And I don't have a small tallywhacker!" |
| 610 | ** From [[https://youtu.be/sYkbbMA3ozQ&list=UUY30JRSgfhYXA6i6xX1erWg&index=1&feature=plcp Dubstep Commercials Suck,]] we have this gem of a line: "Sweet Sacajawea, that's highly irregular!" |
| 611 | ** Also..."I'm draining my sausage!" from Anthony. (Ian says almost the same thing, substituting Five-Dollar Footlong.) |
| 612 | * UselessWithoutCellPhones: In "[[https://youtu.be/3mA5fCFqqz0 OUR GENERATION IS F*CKED: The Movie]]", Anthony is [[spoiler:used as a test subject to see if today's generation could get by in a world without cell-phones and internet]] where he quickly breaks down, slowly going crazy without modern conveniences. Safe to say, our generation is f*cked. |
| 613 | * VitriolicBestBuds: If Anthony and Ian are portraying themselves, they're often an exaggerated Type 2; despite being best friends, they don't seem to give a damn about anything that happens to each other, even if the other one is outright killed. In fact, 90% of the time one of them dies, the other one is directly responsible for it. |
| 614 | * VomitIndiscretionShot: Claymation Ian in "A Smoshy Christmas, Part 2". ''[[RunningGag Repeatedly.]]'' |
| 615 | --> '''Anthony:''' Technically, we're driving on the ocean.\ |
| 616 | '''Ian:''' Ugh! (projectile-vomits onto the Arctic ice cap) You know I get seasick! |
| 617 | ** In "The End of Christmas Pt 1", Puppet Anthony vomits out a stream of Jack Daniels. |
| 618 | * WardrobeMalfunction: Deleted scenes from "Stuck In A Toilet!" rev"eal that Anthony wore briefs under his Spongebob [[GoofyPrintUnderwear boxers]] to prevent this. |
| 619 | * WhatBeautifulEyes: Ian. A lot of their Youtube comments are about this. Anthony even acknowledges this in a Lunchtime With Smosh video where he says Ian has "cool eyes" while he has "poop eyes". |
| 620 | * [[WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes Why Did It Have To Be Aunt Jemima?]]: According to "[[https://youtu.be/ZqgiA33zfoo My Stupid Dying Grandpa]]," Ian is terrified of Aunt Jemima. Not the syrup, but Aunt Jemima herself. The eyes just stare into his soul. |
| 621 | * {{Yandere}}: Siri, for Anthony in SIRI TRIED TO KILL ME! |
| 622 | ** Makes it very odd when the CouchGag for "iPhone 5 Revealed" has Anthony ask Siri if she'll be his girlfriend, and she says no. [[FridgeLogic Got reset, perhaps?]] |
| 623 | * YaoiFangirl: Not surprisingly some of their fans. It's extremely hilarious to see Ian and Anthony's reactions when they are sent slash fanfiction of themselves. |
| 624 | * YourCostumeNeedsWork: ''Every Wrestler Ever'' involves the Smosh gang doing imitations of wrestlers along with the WWE. During an imitation of Seth Rollins, the real deal says it looks stupid. |
| 625 | * YourMom: |
| 626 | ** Ian's mom is often referred to in various as a joke. In one of ''Smosh Games''' Game Bang videos, the SG team did a speed drawing revenge on Ian and Anthony, then upped the ante by bringing in Ian's mom. |
| 627 | ** Ian himself seem to be fixated on Sohinki's mom. When he came in for the [[https://youtu.be/XEaOfVjnDJo "QUIPLASH w/ SMOSH GAMES 3: QUIPLASH RISES (SGA Live)"]] episode, most of almost all hi answers involve Sohinki's mom. Of coures, Sohinki retaliated by bringing back the Ian's mom jokes. |
| 628 | * YouTuberApologyParody: The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GkJSubE-6Yw YouTube Apology Service]], where Yonnie Fritz and Fritz Yonnie coach [=YouTubers=] to [[BackhandedApology apologize for hurting other people's feelings, not what they actually did]]. They also remind creators to cry with an air-horn ("cry horn") and bring them to tears with pepper spray ("sympathy spray"). |
