Angela being apologetically herself since day one

The first three videos Angela Giarratana was in on Smosh. She was a star from the very start.
About the title: I once told my therapist that one of the reasons I loved Angela so much was that she was just so unapologetically herself, and then I was like, wait, but she does have a lot of anxiety spirals and can be very self deprecating so maybe it's actually that she's apologetically herself. She's authentically herself, even when she's spiraling or self-doubting on camera and that just makes her so much more relatable and brave as fuck.

cannot believe Angela’s only been in smosh for 2 years and has already made such an impact and so many iconic moments😭

[@W1rt_]

thats so wild it feel like forever she is just a big part of smosh now

[@larknewt]

Amanda and Angela were a comedic duo since day one OHMYGOD

[@fruityman9512]

i absolutely love bazanka, what a powerhouse character to bring to what is basically an audition. Angela is truly an icon

[@iApollo722]

Amanda’s “you’re insane” and Angela’s “so are you” were definitely out of character lol and that’s when they knew they’d be best friends

[@morgancantrell6914]

Real recognizing real, one of the best moments in smosh history

[@britnicox3929]

Truly the thing I love the most about Angela is that she does have a lot of anxiety and self esteem issues, but lives as herself anyway. That’s the kind of person I want to be

[@Mariethechaotic]

@@britnicox3929 same! I relate to her so much in so many ways. I have so many compilation ideas inspired by her. I literally had to compile everything into a database to keep track because my adhd brain keeps going in a million directions at once and I don't want to forget what I saw on which video. I wish I had more time to work on them than I do.

I JUST POPPED IT

[@scarcat2469]

“Being unapologetically herself” and the first clip is her playing a devil is sooooo funny

[@htspencer9084]

Read the title again 😂

[@a-mac025]

The caption is so for real 🥺 It's so hard to follow through when you get insecure, but she follows through and just plows past the insecurity, never letting it stop her. I love that

[@allisonbrock9563]

I saw a quote that really changed my worldview a bit, it goes like “if you’re scared to do something do it scared” and I think you can really see that mindset in most of the cast, but especially with Angela since she does just go all out.

[@KingOfGaymes]

@@allisonbrock9563that quote reminds me of when I rode the tower of terror I really wanted to ride it and was terrified.. Had fun though xD

[@wiggletonthewise2141]

The phrase “Apologetically herself” made me cackle

[@davidmega-truong4239]

I didn't realize anti=improv man was Angela's first TNTL. a staple callback + heightening of a bit is something i love to see in TNTL and she dunked it.

[@Mariethechaotic]

@@davidmega-truong4239 I really want to find every time she's stolen/spoofed/spun off of Shayne's bit/character because I know it's happened at least a few times, with this one being one of my favourite examples, along with the Bystander and (along with Courtney) the Bystander's two moms. I wish one of them would bring anti-improv man back. They should really just watch compilations of themselves when they need inspo because I know they forget some of their gems.

[@fl0yd_235]

@@Mariethechaotic yes make a compilation!

[@brundle_fly_3895]

I remember this video and I was like “who is this?” Then she spoke and I was like “she NEEDS to be permanent because this energy is unmatched”

[@KingOfGaymes]

I DIDNT KNOW AMANDAS BABE RUTH WAS IN ANOTHER VIDEO?? AND WITH DEMON ANGELA THIS IS ICONIC

[@shaeisgae8952]

Which other video is she babe Ruth in?

[@dhroober]

In some tntl I believe

[@johnnyandcourtney4never]

the babe ruth and bazanka(angela demon) is one of the undead table talk if i remember correctly

[@davidb.brandon2552]

angela coming RIGHT OUT THE GATE with bazanka was a harbinger of things to come

[@ivanagustinortiz5237]

She came to Smosh swinging, crazy

[@fabrezz1]

I remember first seeing Angela and being so confused as to who she was since I don't think they introduced her in that first video but she was special since day one. I remember thinking that she HAS to come back and do more whoever she is.

[@paigeofthebook]

I love the first time Angela and Chanse were together it was Angela saying "NO!" at him instead of the usual "Angelaaaa.."

[@ellromo]

What’s nice to notice is that she somewhere along the way stopped suppressing her real laugh, like it’s more gentle in the beginning but now she’s more comfortable so she laughs more freely and naturally

[@guest54_]

Omg I have never seen this I cannot stop laughing. Please Bazanka needs to return to Smosh

[@arkardomx]

"You make me think, I'm pissed..." That tracks

[@Anzy.99]

Angela bacame my favorite since day one. She's wild and I can't imagine not seeing her on my phone every day

[@myanniello]

i love that you told your therapist about angela

[@fiffer8376]

apologetically herself is the perfect description and i love her for it

[@KevinHwoarang]

She's comedy gold. Best thing since Shayne.

[@nitasu987]

I truly fell in love with Angela as a performer the moment she opened her mouth. I am so grateful for all of the laughs!!!

[@Gigatless]

Its crazy that her debut role was a succubus, all painted in red. She absolutely killed it tho

[@madysonluvs]

definitely not a succubus! Bazanka was a 14yo demon ghost girl or something

[@faeor1e]

i know this was her first video but i hope her voice is *okay* cause it feels like it isnt

[@Skaaks]

That’s just what her voice sounds like lmao

[@faeor1e]

@@Skaaks hehe ik, she sounds like she loses her voice a lot lol

[@Pauavi]

crazy how everyone looks like babies and this is only 2 years ago

[@Knaka9004]

has anyone else noticed that when Angela did the "anti-improv man" character that she actually did continue the scene lol

[@georgedoty-williams2085]

I also miss Matt Fox

[@KhoiV]

Matt fox 😭😭😭

[@syfly10]

omg that's his name! yeah he's hilarious, i hope he's thriving wherever he's at

[@Karisberry]

YES THIS

[@vixygrayve]

it's kinda crazy that this was Angela's first appearance xD

[@Johnathan-hj3mm]

devil angelas voice is giving me nodules

[@travistownsend5207]

Bazanka needs to make a reappearance and they need to play that mint game again!

[@HorsesIC]

Angela bringing up cousins her first week??? we need to see a cousins compilation pleeease

[@Mariethechaotic]

@@HorsesIC ooh, good idea. I gotta just watch my entire Angela playlist again... Once I get through my current clips, starting to run out of storage room. I will throw that into my database of eventual compilations (yes, I literally have a database to keep track because I have an ADHD brain: lots of tangled ideas and a bad memory lol)

[@htspencer9084]

​@@Mariethechaoticyou got a spreadsheet for that database? :p

[@sydneyholder7844]

I'm watching this with captions on, could you give me a timestamp for the cousins bit Edit: Nvm, I thought you were talkin about a TNTL bit, not Florida Friends

[@pickleBOB405]

1:52 THIS WHOLE BIT IS SENDINGG ME BRUHH 😭 😭

[@JAXXNCREATED]

BAZANKAAAAAA

[@a-mac025]

I haven't seen some of these 🥺🥺

[@Murglie]

I miss Bazanka, I think about her a lot

[@Mariethechaotic]

@@Murglie I know! I hope someone from Smosh sees this and reminds her about the existence of this character. Everyone always talks about Shayne's characters but forget that our girl here is BRILLIANT at character work; she just does them once so they fade out of people's memory. I'm determined to eventually compile all of her characters.

[@htspencer9084]

Don't worry, she thinks about you too 😈

[@ja_cow_ski]

Bazanka needs to make a return

[@remyfate3005]

I swear I watch the spirits video once in a while, between Angela and Amanda doing those voices, as a cherry on the cake. Wanna see me pop a dinger?

[@josephmariostalinlinguinit8727]

"i didnt wanna give it to angela, butter ass..." relatable as fuck dawg

[@htspencer9084]

Being "apologetically" herself is so true 😂

[@Cyno_.]

Bazanka is an icon

[@_rat_5758]

I love her so much she’s too good! ❤

[@boblovizio9213]

I remember Bazanka annoying the heck out of me but that was my first time seeing Angela. I love her so much now.

[@Anzy.99]

the best thing Angela ever said and I'll never forget was "Butter Ass"

[@Mariethechaotic]

The delivery of the line and the reactions from Chanse's YESSSSS to Shayne's immediate "God dammit"and getting up from the table fills me with joy every time. Also Angela, feral in episode 3, classic. I need to find every time she puts something in her mouth she's not supposed to lol. So far I have the cube from swear Mints, the Van Goaht from TNTL #116, and the Trivial pursuit triangle piece in the one she did with Amanda. And there's at least one more. I feel like most of the time it's Chanse or Amanda telling her to stop putting shit in her mouth 🤣.

[@byrontheusurper6505]

I love her so much

[@JAW476]

when i first saw the demon girl episode i wasnt sure about Angela, but now she is one of my favorites and coming back to this she really went all out for this

I just wanna know how long that face paint stained for-
