History YMMV / SmoshGames

* CrowningMomentOfAwesome:
** Jovenshire and Lasercorn achieving second place in the Cloudberry Kingdom [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0STrJ1MfubY Game Bang]] by doing their final level in a breathtaking 50 seconds flat. This is all the more impressive considering 1. they had to beat the team of Mari and [[TheAce Sohinki]], 2. Joven's controller was malfunctioning and lagging in the first two missions, resulting in miserable scores and a lot of frustration, and 3. well... it's [[TheChewToy Joven]]. Since the two lowest teams ended up having to do the week's forfeit, it was all for naught, and yet it was an awesome achievement for the two Smosh Gamers who tend to take the brunt of the others' scorn.
** The Jovenshire-Sohinki improv rap battle at the end of the ''Def Jam Rapstar'' Game Bang. The entirety of the battle is pretty awesome, but it's Sohinki's final verse that sells it and [[spoiler:wins him the battle.]]
** The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f61nQSwKNNw Zombie Obstacle Course]], in which each person must control a zombie to finish an obstacle course in as little time as possible, had the spectators making bets on how long the player is going to finish the course. When it comes to Sohinki's turn, Wes wagered that he'd clear the round in 5:34 minutes, which the others thought was a pretty big stretch, since no-one until that point had managed to complete the track in less than 6 minutes. The actual time he got? ''3 minutes 47 seconds''.
** The fact that the ''whole'' Smosh Games crew, and not just Ian and Anthony, were in the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KK9bwTlAvgo 2015 Youtube Rewind]]. That's pretty awesome.

* PortmanteauCoupleName: Whenever the group forms a team in a Game Bang episode, they would combine the names of the members to form the team name, which may or may not lead to shipping. We have "Iancorn" for Ian and Lasercorn, "Marhinki" for Mari and Sohinki, "Jovanthony" for Joven and Anthony, "Antcorn" for Anthony and Lasercorn, "Sohian" for Sohinki and Ian, "Marishire" for Mari and Joven, "Ianthony" for Ian and Anthony, "Marian" for Ian and Mari, and "Socorni" for Sohinki and Lasercorn.

* PortmanteauCoupleName:
** Jokingly, "Iancorn" for Ian and Lasercorn, after various instances of HoYay between the two of them throughout Game Bang.
** As of their Fruit Ninja Game Bang, "Jovencorn" and "Lasershire" have become canon.
** "Ianthony" for.. well, guess... after two instances where they ended up doing the forfeit duet dance.
** Also applies to the temporary couples formed when the group splits into two-person teams, like "Marhinki" or "Anthonian."

** The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f61nQSwKNNw Zombie Obstacle Course]], in which each person must control a zombie to finish an obstacle course in as little time as possible, had the spectators making bets on how long the player is going to finish the course. When it comes to Sohinki's turn, Wes wagered that he'd clear the round in 5:34 minutes, which the others thought was a pretty big stretch. The actual time he got? ''3 minutes 47 seconds''.

** In the "Rock Band Rocks!" video, Sohinki demonstrates why he is considered TheAce of the team by achieving the Top Performer when he got the drums (which pretty much everyone agree is the most difficult instrument of the game) and even while being constantly distracted by Ian.

* PowerTrio: Jovenshire, Lasercorn, and Sohinki fit into several.
** BigThinShortTrio: Jovenshire = big, Sohinki = thin, Lasercorn = short.
** ComicTrio: Lasercorn = leader with harebrained plans, Jovenshire = idiot who goes along with stupid plans, Sohinki = complainer.
** KnightKnaveAndSquire: [[BloodKnight Knight =]] [[GroinAttack Lasercorn]][[note]] he's the knight and not knave because he's ''obsessed'' with shooting things in the balls, even when it's ridiculously impractical to do so.[[/note]], Knave = Sohinki, Squire = Jovenshire.

* CowboyBebopAtHisComputer: One internet news report on Jovenshire's recent interview with Emma Watson mistakenly refers to him as a news reporter named Joven Shire. [[http://news.ninemsn.com.au/entertainment/2014/03/29/12/51/reporter-stitched-up-in-emma-watson-interview I'm not kidding.]]
* CriticalResearchFailure: Their [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mLBZNk5g7g0 Pokemon Gamer Nation video.]] The amount of mistakes they make is baffling.

* PortmanteauCoupleName: Jokingly, "Iancorn" for Ian and Lasercorn, after various instances of HoYay between the two of them throughout Game Bang.

* TheWoobie: Mari becomes this by the end of "CRAZY ELECTRIC SHOCK GAME!".

* HilariousInHindsight: Remember when the Smosh Games crew said that they would never play {{Minecraft}} on their channel. You know before they dedicated an entire series to the game.

** The [[HonestTrailers Honest Game Trailer]] on ''KingdomHearts'' is another offender. Sora is 14 at the start of the series, not 10. [[ItsPronouncedTroPay That's not how you pronounce Xehanort and Eraqus]]. [[Disney/{{Tarzan}} Deep Jungle]] and [[Film/{{Tron}} Space Paranoids]] were only used once.

* TheWoobie: Mari becomes this by the end of "CRAZY ELECTRIC SHOCK GAME!".

* UnpopularPopularCharacter: The fans love Joven, despite the way he's treated in ''Smosh Game Bang'' as a hopeless dork who is suitable to be the [[ButtMonkey butt of every joke]].

** The Jovenshire-Sohinki improv rap battle at the end of the ''Def Jam Rapstar'' Game Bang. The entirety of the battle is pretty awesome, but it's Sohinki's game-winning final verse that really sells it.
-->Let's see what strength this guy can muster guy can muster / what do you got on your shoes, some f**king mustard? / who do you think you are, a f**king hustler? / forget a ghost, ''this guy's just a buster!''
*** Jovenshire shouldn't have worn that Ghostbusters shirt to the Game Bang.

** RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap: However it has gotten much better now, since they have been choosing to pick good videos and compliment them.(However, as the crew said when they were starting SGA Spotlight the worst and best videos sent in will be shown, and asked the fans to please not be offended if the video is made of, so it is justified.)

* TheScrappy: Only after 4 episodes, SGA Spotlight has managed to become one. This is mostly due to bad videos being showcased and them being made fun of.
