1* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Sohinki and Lasercorn introduce this InUniverse at the end of the Christmascraft series. [[spoiler:On a ConfessionCam Lasercorn points out that it wasn't really established if Santa was evil and the assumption that he was can't be based on the boss battle health bar since all of the characters have a health bar. And when Mari reflects on the fact that the Smosh crew killed pixies in Part 7 Sohinki introduces the idea that the Smosh crew could have unknowingly been playing a VillainProtagonist role.]]
2* BaseBreakingCharacter:
3** A lot of fans are pretty divided on Sohinki. One camp likes him for his DeadpanSnarker tendencies, plus his SoreLoser and [[StopHavingFunGuys try-hard attitude]] which many find amusing. The other camp sees him as an InsufferableGenius who tends to blame everything on others when they screw-up, particularly [[ButtMonkey Jovenshire]].
4** Boze. She's either a fun addition to the gang that people find hilarious and charming, or she's annoying and unbearable. The youtube comments section is split right down in the middle regarding her. However, people have generally mellowed out on her appearances over the years, with her passion project "Smosh and Order" receiving critical acclaim.
5* EnsembleDarkhorse: Wes was back when he was the editor of the channel. He was featured in several bonus videos, and was received well by the fans for his [[NiceGuy laid-back and nice attitude]] and [[MrFanservice good looks]].
6* HilariousInHindsight: The Smosh Games crew once said that they would never play ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'' on their channel. Then they dedicated an entire series to the game.
7* LauncherOfAThousandShips: Mari, by the virtue of being the only girl in the team. While the most popular pairing involving her is with Sohinki (hence the #marhinki meme), fans also like to pair her with Flitz (because the latter often acts flirty around her), Joven (because the two have done punishments together the most frequently), Ian (an artifact from the old Smosh shows, when fans would often ask if Ian is dating Mari), Anthony, Wes and Lasercorn because why not.
8* LesYay:
9** Mari and Courtney, especially in ''TRIVIA MURDER PARTY LIVE (Game Bang)''.
10** Mari in general has these moments by either taking about or ogling a female she says she attracted to.
11* MemeticLoser: Jovenshire, oh poor Jovenshire. He constantly gets the short end of the stick when it comes to competitive games like Game Bangs, and is more than often on the receiving end of humiliating punishments.
12* MemeticMutation:
13** "Yo my name is Wes, I'm from the Wild Wild West...[[labelnote:Explanation]]Wes's belly flop in the Wild West Summer Games was supposed to include a rap that Wes had written, but he screwed it up so hard that come a year later, it's clear that no one is going to let him live it down.[[/labelnote]]
14** "THE STEAK!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]After being on the winning team in every Summer and Winter games, Lasercorn wrote "the streak" on his stomach ahead of the team selection, but spelled "steak" by accident.[[/labelnote]]
15* NeverLiveItDown:
16** Both in real life and in-universe, Joven's title as the "bronze player" due to his unlucky streak of getting bronze during [=GTAV=] heists. Even after [[spoiler:getting a Platinum]], he still constantly gets mocked for being a "bronze player".
17** People usually won't let Boze forget that she heard the Netflix description for ''The Terminator'' and wildly guessed ''Back to the Future'' during Netflix and Chill.
18** Absolutely ''no one'' on the cast lets Wes live down his horrifically botched Wild West rap.
19* 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 have shipping implications. 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" or "Anthonian" for Ian and Anthony, "Marian" for Ian and Mari, "Socorni" for Sohinki and Lasercorn, and many, many others.
20* StopHavingFunGuys: Sohinki verges on this, depending on the game: he's in it to win and at times he berates his comrades for their poor play. But he also acknowledges that he can be a "try hard" and is usually happy to sacrifice his dignity on the altar of comedy, especially in ''Game Bang''.
21* TearJerker: Lasercorn and Sohinki leaving Smosh Games, especially as it was just after Anthony had left Smosh entirely due to creative differences. It really feels like an EndOfAnEra and BreakingTheFellowship for long time Smosh Games fans, with only two of the original six being left to run Smosh Games while everyone has left or moved on to their own projects.
22* 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]].
23* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: One of the biggest complaints from subscribers is that the channel deletes shows and start new shows for a few months then they delete it as well.
24* TheWoobie:
25** Mari becomes this by the end of "CRAZY ELECTRIC SHOCK GAME!".
