[@CheesewedgeFTW]

My thoughts exactly. The TNTL that he was in RIGHT after he came back was ok from him, but his most recent one was AMAZINGLY funny.

[@brilab]

I’ll never forget when courtney told anthony they’ve felt seen and heard from everyone since he’s been back. it’s so cool that he gives his employees this kind of confidence and he won’t let them forget how talented they are. late 2023-24 courtney has leveled up in an amazing way. smosh is in its prime right now!!

[@jaediety]

having watched smosh since the beginning, when Courtney joined the cast I immediately gravitated towards her, I think her energy as a fan of Smosh was relatable, and made it easy to like her from the start. seeing Courtney grow is so inspiring to me personally, whether it's in regards to gender identity, or creative skills, Courtney is an ICONNN❤️ smosh without Courtney would've been heartbreaking

[@hernameispekka_Rebecca]

That's a good point. While she didn't grow smosh from the start, she did kind of grow up with it. It makes sense that she in particular would care so much about the content because she fully knows the feelings it invoked in her and what it meant to her.

[@draisens]

"smosh without Courtney would've been heartbreaking" - I second that part.

[@draisens]

@@hernameispekka_Rebecca obviously nobody grew properly back in the Defy days, because Defy were douchebags. after Ian gained control, he saw Courtney (among others) as able to make an impact - and he went with it. Defy really held Smosh back in a certain way.

[@shemybacchus3937]

I’m so glad that Courtney stuck around with Smosh. They have grown into such a pillar of the channel and I couldn’t imagine Smosh without their presence. It’s easy to forget that Smosh is a workplace because of how much they entertain us. But like most workplaces, the people there can experience frustration and burnout. To hear both Shayne and Courtney talk about how their challenges in relation to the channel had changed over the years, really puts into perspective how much they work to give us quality content. I’m so glad Smosh seems to be in this new era where there is so much internal support.

[@datte-ai]

I still remember when Courtney first started showing up in smosh videos, and I was so warry of the new members. Fast forward to now and I genuinely cannot imagine Smosh without her. Court is such a genuinely integral part of why my humor is the way it is, and without her writing I don't think Smosh would be anywhere near the same

[@JamaicanRain]

I never cared about them much. She was a forced Defy hire that caters to the 30 and under set. True Smosh for me is Ian, Anthony, and random actors and recurring actors that are not actually a part of Smosh.

[@cudlebear64]

I love how Anthony isn’t saying that they are like a family and avoiding that deliberately. So many jobs are like “you know, here at Costco we are like a family” just to make you feel pressured into dealing with whatever crap they put you through and trying to make you see it as ok, so Anthony as their boss saying “I don’t wanna say we are like a family” says so much about how much he actually cares about his co-workers, it makes me so happy to see

[@milkymoo1525]

courtney has been helping me so much recently with being myself and being kind to myself as well. as an artist and a queer neurodivergent person, i see so many similarities in her, like it feels like i’m listening to a mirror of myself, but i still find comfort in her. makes me feel like i can find comfort in myself somewhere in all that self pity and doubt. thank you courtney

[@johnhazencook]

Seems like Courtney got shutdown in a vulnerable and impressionable time in her life (being told to know her place and shut up when trying to give fresh ideas in meetings when she was early 20s) and it took near a decade to shake that off. Glad she is in a better place and has the ability to trust herself before she turns 30. I didn’t get there until 34.

[@tinycoke3718]

Courtney being so unapologetic about being genderfluid is so amazing, that level of genuinely being herself is something I aspire to

I know its not always an easy thing to praise people but its so important. I hope ian finds a way to express his feelings better than hes been able to before now. I know he loves and values courtney but for her to feel so undervalued so long says he didnt find ways to express it in ways she was able to accept. Im not even trying to criticise him, im sure its something he dislikes about himself as well. I just hope hes better able to do it and maybe you coming back can help him. Sorry im feeling all mushy.

Courtney, as someone who started watching smosh in 2018, I can't imagine smosh without you. I know that I'm just a random person on the internet, but truly for me you are one of the main reasons I kept watching all these years and I saw you become so much more comfortable with yourself and I see how talented and effortlessly funny you are! I hope you're really proud of the things you achieved and contributed to the channel! Also, watching the trailer for the funeral roast has really blown me away (it's probably why I bought tickets to the show which I normally never do). I remember thinking this is just on another level of greatness. I think smosh has never been better than it is now (I'm not alone in saying that) and I believe you're one of the reasons why!

[@nicolerivera3664]

This interview made me tear up. Thank you so much for sharing, and thank you Courtney for sticking around! Your voice is so important in Smosh and I'm proud of you. I followed Smosh in the beginning, left and came back with Anthony, and I am watching all the content I missed with the cast. I've gained so much from the cast now and a lot of it is thanks to you Courtney and the relationships you guys foster with the whole Smosh family. I'm excited to see whats next for us!

[@timscott6793]

After hearing Courtney talk about why they wanted to quit Smosh I realized just how similar they are to Anthony in a lot of respects, both as a person and in their comedic sense. I really think they were part of the reason why Smosh was able to even survive all these years without Anthony.

[@boop9430]

Courtney’s the whole reason I started watching Smosh and stayed, love her! So proud of how much she’s grown ❤

[@DittoBlob]

i loved watching the video when Anthony Padilla spent a day with Shayne Topp! And now i spent a day with Courtney Miller! both Shayne's and Coutney's characters are Frickin iconic!🤩

[@nicholewarren4229]

One of the things i REALLY respect about smosh (and dropout, as an unrelated plug) is that (esp in their more recent like 2020 onwards stuff) it really seems like there is a sense of respect and comfort and support and CONSENT that is unfortunately lacking in a lot of other comedy environments I've seen. You can really tell that people trust and care about each other and there is a mutual respect for their on- and off-camera staff that you can FEEL as a viewer.

COURTNEY 😍😍😍

My farts are better than Anthony's farts.

[@Breanna97xx]

Smosh with out Courtney is a Smosh I don’t want to know. She’s the main character. So talented and relatable. Confident and funny. She’s not filtered and preppy. She’s raw and so good hearted maybe a little to good hearted. ❤

[@ladrac198]

First thing I saw going on my lunch break, IMMEDIATELY clicked! Courtney is life goals♥️

[@anabelle251]

I've been watching smosh since 2019 and I've definitely noticed the change of confidence in courtney just through they're outfits and talking in videos. I'm so proud of how far they have come and they're are my #1 favourite member in smosh

[@RoySan20]

I'm not even halfway through, but have rewatched it again & again. Courtney is such an inspiration!! I'm really proud to be a fan & growing up with her. Looking forward to this episode ♥️♥️♥️

[@Ghomer14]

I'm really glad that they're happier! Courtney is an incredible actor and director and im so happy she's still at smosh. The funeral roast was incredible and I really hope they direct more events!!! Everything about it was so fricken cool

[@bridgerparker4275]

Copypasta in real life is a great idea for a Smosh main series

[@Cijae01]

After watching this my perspective of Courtney has change into so much positivity, I’ve only been watching smosh for like 6moths and she was one of my favourite creators to watch, and now my respect for her has grown so much.

[@ateawithoney]

I'm so glad Courtney made the decision to stay and feels comfortable enough talk about what she was feeling back during her eariler days. It's awesome to see Courtney believe she's meant to impact people through Smosh as a medium, they're the best and I wish nothing but the world for them 💗

[@AlysterJohnEstur]

I love that this is like Anthony's employees' monthly performance reviews.

[@sueperb7374]

Besides all of Courtney's hard work behind and in front of the camera, I also had the vibe that she was the channel's nurturing big sister for all the other cast members.

[@queen_of_th3_geeks]

rewatching this and just want to say as a woman going into the film industry Courtney is such a huge inspiration for me! their love for the aesthetics of others is something i feel so deeply in my bones as someone who wants to be behind the camera and the fact they’re finally being recognised for their work fills me with such joy!! can’t wait to see all she will create in life

[@Klong15]

I fell out of Smosh in the early 2010s when I was getting into the weeds of my college degree. And over the years I would see the occasional Smosh video with the new cast, but never really got into it. With the hype of Anthony coming back, I've been going through a lot of Smosh/pit videos with the "new" cast with an open mind. You've all been awesome, and I've been really enjoying a lot of the videos I missed out on. Now I'm a regular enjoyer, thank you! :)

Welcome back! 🤗❤

I hope so!!

@@neehaa that hurts. I guess we’re really gettin old 😭😭 she was/is one of the og members.

[@neehaa]

@@FaizCaliph oooh i see, sorry i didn’t mean to hurt you :(

[@FaizCaliph]

@@neehaa you’re too kind. I just used to assume everyone who knows smosh knows Mari, but that was over a decade and a half ago 💀💀 understandable since she’s not on as much anymore, like Olivia Sui.

[@RunicSoulEater]

The smosh reunions went SUPER hard. I would love to see more of those.

[@madielise98]

Courtney always expresses feelings and experiences I've either just come through or am still battling. It is so comforting to have an internet peer.

[@cho7879]

it took me until this video to realize Brianna is a full on impression, I thought it was just like a stereotype and now I can't stop seeing the person 😂

[@katie18976]

Can you tell me who is the person they are impersonating? 👀

[@Blueberrycat1222]

@@katie18976I assume tana mongeau? I’m not sure lol but that’s what I put together when they said it rhymes with Brianna boho

*nods and tips hat* The corgin millman.

[@EliSnyder8696]

Anthony and Courtney’s friendship is so underrated and I absolutely love this interview!

[@Daniela_Emilia]

What really carries through with Smosh is the family energy. The supportive, loving, heart of the thing. And that's what makes it so great to watch. It's just a group of people who are really wanting the best for each other. ❤

[@PamelaH_HappyVibes]

Courtney has matured and evolved so much! It’s so refreshing to hear Anthony acknowledge her strengths. This is what I want to hear from bosses.

[@maxpoorly]

SHES WEARING THE ENGAGEMENT RING IN THIS VIDEO OMG

[@PamelaH_HappyVibes]

We all knew she was engaged but, didn’t know Shayne was too. If he had said he was engaged, we would have known. lol
