[@Kudian]

Completely agree. Like, we've gotten to see the Smosh cast and crew be serious before, but here it really feels like they can be more serious and more themselves. Honestly, it's really refreshing and nice to watch. I love Smosh content without a doubt, but I always enjoy getting to see the cast get to be more themselves and their thoughts on things, and not having to have a different face up the entire time

@@fabdelulu7496 I’m so sorry to hear that! I’m 28 and always make an effort to make sure my younger coworkers feel included and appreciated. My work bestie is 20 and the age gap definitely shows when we chat about experiences growing up, but it’s an ongoing joke between us lol. I think older coworkers have a bit of a responsibility to help guide younger coworkers to feeling confident and comfortable in the workplace, especially when they’re fresh out of school and unsure of how the working world operates. I wish you the best of luck and that you can find an older coworker to take you under their wing!

[@sunfoxz]

literally this omg maybe this is super specific but to me she has such massive older cousin that you grow up looking up to energy in the best way possible

[@WishGender]

She sometimes has questionable takes on Reddit readings and Smosh Mouth, which I understand some people being slightly put off by. I personally don't think she seems mean, just very different from me and I don't think we would be friends if I knew her irl. Some people, though. I bet like 85% of the people who think she's mean are incels getting offended by stuff she says about men lol

[@TheNiceCreamMan]

The only person she’s mean to is Shayne and it’s in the funniest ways possible

[@annikan42]

I remember when I first came back to Smosh and saw her on Beopardy that I got mean vibes and didn't like her at first, but she very quickly became one of my favorites and I cannot for the life of me remember why I would've thought like that. She's amazing

[@birdie7910]

I do understand the comments tbh. She seems like an extremely loyal friend who loves a lot but she’s also very honest and seems direct which can come across as mean. She’s also very competitive in most things so it can come off as she’s being mean to the cast that are also like that. She’s hot a strong personality too. As much as I understand, I still don’t feel that way because you can tell her way to show love to the ppl around her is just more rough than others. Still love

Damien mentioned people thinking him and Angela hated each other. I can see how or why people might catch that but one of the funniest moments I re-watch is when he flipped out while they were playing a party game and she's just giggling her butt off. ("GOD DAMNIT ANGELA!") It's still one of the funnier clips. People take things seriously and personally way too often. A game is being played, natural frustration occurred, game continued on. That's all that usually occurs. Keep doing you buds.

Trevor definitely has a place at smosh . He was spot on about the “nepo baby” description of getting the job, but ONLY AS FAR as mythical getting his foot in the door. Only reason Trevor has his spot at Smosh now is cause of himself :)

[@p-__]

My farts are better than Anthony’s farts 💨

[@Cavemanner]

Yeah I was just watching one of his first appearances on TNTL this morning and dude is genuinely hilarious. I get feeling some level of imposter syndrome, but he definitely earned his place.

[@hopelesslydull7588]

I mean, he's not wrong in that his "nepotism" was working at Mythical meant he didn't have to audition and was able to show his talents in a lower risk way since he was already a coworker. "Deserving" the job you get based on your connections is complicated. He shouldn't feel bad about it, though.

[@agent00puffball]

Yeah Trevor is where he is because of the work he's done. Mythical got his foot in the door, but he still had to get Mythical.

[@WishGender]

I mean it's not like getting the job at Mythical was nepotism right? I think people are overusing the word "nepotism" lately especially in situations where "business connections" works just fine 🤷🏻

[@Nauta222]

"I'm very happy, and part of me waits for the other shoe to drop when I'm that happy." My god, Damien deserves every little bit of happiness he's got right now. I hope he knows that.

[@brocksells197]

I think the reason people assume Amanda is "mean" is because of her size. As a large guy (6'5"), I always experience people thinking that I'm mean without ever having spoke to me before. Since Amanda is extremely tall for a woman, I'm betting it's a similar thing

[@sEaSoNaLMiLk]

Yep. Tall, strong looks, direct personality, dry humor. I’m plagued with this too.

[@hollyb4907]

As a tall, direct, funny woman this is a common assumption 😉

[@cassiex23]

this group pairing is **chefs kiss**

[@ItsMaddieJ]

I agree! They are all three particularly relatable and able to show up vulnerably as well as comedically.

[@127sys]

I agree with Amanda completely: the “New Smosh” energy we got between Ian & Anthony buying it and the 3 newer cast members, where Amanda was definitely grouped in as a fourth

[@MopTopMase]

These three are such a good vibe, and I love that Damien and Trevor IMMEDIATELY played into Amanda's "are they talking about me," age gap bit❤😭

[@chubbycakes6145]

The thing I like about Damien is that even though he is an introvert he still tries to get himself out there and improve his social skills while some don’t even try.

[@rose.888]

[@meowmew444]

I mean, it's not bad to not try. Some people don't find joy in socializing a lot.

​@@meowmew444 Yeah. I think this kind of comment would be better suited for someone struggling with social anxiety than being about introversion. I have both...I *could* benefit from learning to manage social situations without dread and anxiety. Liking to recharge and preferring my own company though? That isn't something I think I need to fix at all. It's just me.

The thing I like about some extroverts is that even though they are extroverts they still try to isolate themselves at times and improve their analytical introspection skills while some don’t even try.

[@cassandratetford634]

I hope Damien knows how much we feel he adds to ANY content he does. His charm and humor are some of my favorite at smosh. He is so well spoken and I personally can relate (I am also a neurospicy person) but he is so valued in content. I'm happy he is living his anime voice over dreams but boy do I ever miss him in videos.

[@punkydoo]

I was one of the people who more recently learned about the extent of Damien's voice acting. I always knew he was into it, but I was never aware of what he was in, but now that I know I can watch an anime on Netflix or play Starfield and get to hear Damien's voice, I find it so exciting and it makes me happy for him. I love all of the Smosh cast, getting to see them outside of Smosh doing other projects is like icing on the cake.

[@xgreydovex]

Icing on the HAM cake?!

[@amiritiichia7479]

Truly, hearing him in Fire Emblem and in Delicious in Dungeon warm my heart so much. He gets to show off his skills and it makes me so happy for him

[@stephaniethesoprano]

right! I'm not into anime so I never really thought about it in the sense I went looking for it but it's really cool to know how extensive his voice acting actually is! I love seeing them doing other projects, Amanda collaborating with Patrick MacDonald on that short film they did (I Live In Your House) is my recent fav. It's a comedy-horror and seeing Amanda do a more serious role is incredible, she's such a strong actor!

[@MintHearted]

Damien talking about the different vibes between the old OG Smosh Games cast to how it is currently makes a lot of sense. I was watching some older videos recently and even talking about how the vibes are so different. Not necessarily in a bad way, but you can see how ultra competitive the Games cast was (specifically between Sohinki, Lazercorn, and Jovin). They bounced off each other well, sure. But the atmosphere was definitely more tense and win-driven whereas now it's more chill. Sure they want to win, but it's become a lot more about the group dynamic and having fun then whoever's gonna win. (I think it could also do with the fact that Smosh isn't as punishment heavy anymore if you lose, so there's no need to go all out to win). It's also really relatable when Damien and Trevor talk about not knowing where to jump in during group settings/conversations. And then Amanda reassures them that they're part of the group and that jumping isn't seen as a take away, that them becoming apart of the group chaos adds to it. It's such good advice to hear, even in just an everyday standpoint. I love this. (Also Amanda is absolutely gorgeous here, just saying.)

[@JeiElRai]

I'm realizing what i really love about the whole extended Smosh Family is hearing from people who collectively have high emotional intelligence and health, resulting in the notably high quality of conversations and insight. ❤

[@natelikesfun]

Going off of Trevor's "nepo-baby" thoughts and feeling out of place among other actors, i think it's worth pointing out that Ian and Anthony started Smosh itself at an even younger age with even less youtube/acting experience than he did. He 100 percent fits in perfectly with the rest of the Smosh cast and i think i can speak for the majority of fans in saying we look forward to every video he's in!

[@WishGender]

it's also not necessarily nepotism. Making professional connections is something that's so heavily emphasized.

[@sarahjr3018]

Honestly I remember all the pile on's he got from Rhett and Link and i thimk that might be a big part of it. he was made fun of for being the younger one for a little too long on mythical, it did feel like apprentice hazing

[@LocalTorchwoodIntern]

Me too! While I did kinda stop watching them a bit before Damien joined on, rewatching a lot of old game bangs (when it was the OG cast and Ian + Anthony), I could feel the hardcore winning vibes from it. It honestly made rewatching anything that wasn't pre - Damien or pre - Anthony leaving a bit hard to watch. Coming back now and catching up on what I missed, I really enjoyed the more laid back, improv driven, everyone bounces off each other vibes the videos have, no matter the combo of cast members.

7:12 to be honest as a LONG… (way too long) time viewer Trevor honestly just felt RIGHT for the channel. He has a good personality for it and I think he compliments the cast VERY well! I wouldn’t say he didn’t earn it, I’d say he just fell into the right place.

[@Bem-0]

Trevor whether on purpose or for jokes gets too much hate in the smosh videos. He's a geek nerd like spencer and loves what he talks about very passionate hobbies and I notice he always gets joked about being annoying or something like that. Trevor for sure deserves the respect

[@Amzzyyo]

Trevor is such a cool addition to the cast, but I sometimes feel like there isn't much space for him to participate in games, or grow into his character. He seems most comfortable in videos with max 3 people, yet they keep putting him in videos with 4+ other people ... He definitely doesn't deserve so much criticism tho.

[@borkbork4124]

I also went to culinary school studying to be a pastry chef, and graduated with flying colors! I am also the same age as Trevor. It was said in passing, but YES cooking is a job, so when you do it all day as YOUR JOB, it feels like that at home. So this aversion of kindling the passion on your own time fades. When I was baking every day, I really got into making soups and learning all the ways to cook a good steak. Now in college getting my undergrad degree, that passion has come back. When you make it your job, your relationship with the hobby changes.

I really like these long format personal types of videos where we can learn more about the Smosh members.

@@Mariethechaotic oh yeah, they love to flirt 😆 but isn't that normal between the cast? They seem to have fun! Especially Amanda 🤭 Also, my comment wasn't about how much these two cast members feed the ship, but rather "she mentioned them being married, here's where they actually were!" moment.

[@lourdesheartalfinso3426]

Damien is being vulnerable and genuine . Sometimes that's the ❤❤❤

[@SpliffSplaff]

As a neurodiverse queer person, we need people like Damien who aren't afraid to stand up for others. So much respect and love for him💜

[@kelbimckinley8042]

I've seen a lot of Trevor discourse in comments on Smosh videos - not so much lately, but for a while when he first joined - and I'm so glad to see the love for Trevor here, and at Smosh, but especially from castmates.

[@Thatmemertho]

Omg! I never expected my couch breaking meme to be noticed 😭

[@LanternCastVIDS]

I love each member of Smosh for individual reasons. The ones I don't like, or don't see enough in the specific videos I consume, I trust/am entertained by because of how the cast I DO love seems to accept and enjoy their presence. So the Smosh cast and crew that I already adore, help make me enjoy the cast and crew that I don't know well enough to have my own opinion.

[@Amzzyyo]

Wut?

[@IcyLightning00]

Anthony needs to get Mari, Lazercorn, Joven, and Sohinki

[@bridgerparker4275]

Damien is so relatable to me, hope it brings some peace that your feeling out of place helps others feel more connected

[@kaylaw6085]

Maybe i’m reading into this wrong but I feel like maybe trevor feels less of the ‘nepo baby’ situation and more of ‘imposter syndrome’. I’m the youngest person on my team at work by at least 10 years and i’m always feeling like I don’t belong bc they all have more life accomplishments than I do, even if that’s not true.

[@maxinoume]

Also, the talent of your different teams might vary a lot over the years. For example, in school my grades were right on the average and I had to work quite a bit more than my friends and still had worse grades than them. But when I joined my first company, after only 6 months I was in the top 5 of performers (out of 30) alongside people with varying levels of experience. And at my current company, I'm in the bottom quarter of performers but I knew when I joined that I was not the same levels as most people here. I wanted to challenge myself and gain a bunch of knowledge. The 'imposter syndrome' never left, even the few years I was a top performer. So for me it doesn't seem to be linked to my relative performance.

[@ohnoitslos]

Damien is simply my type I can’t help it

[@geminievil]

Same, I just feel so attracted to this amazing man and his voice dude lmao especially now that I'm watching Delicious in Dungeon/Dungeon Meshi and he's freaking Laios

[@MorkyMuffin]

If I am ever in a relationship where I ask myself: "Would Damien Haas treat me like this?" and the answer is "He would never", I am walking right out of there

[@mxwitcher]

You and I the same. He's just really lovely and you know it's as authentic as it can be online.

[@whackadoodle92]

same tho he’s so fine its his nurturing nature and Like he is just so comforting to watch yk

[@katkashmir6794]

Agreed. I am in an 11 year relationship, and I am totally like, “I crush so hard on Damien.” And he also appreciates the hell out of Damien’s intelligence and authenticity. Damien stans unite!

[@jennyw5904]

"thank you. Alright I'm healed" XD the power of Damien lol

[@ahh6067]

i absolutely adore you three. and also, thank you damien for being the mental health/ neurodivergent rep i needed. always thought you were cool and funny, and eventually learned i relate to a lot of your struggles. thanks for helping me realize im not alone. :)

[@DoughnutDragon]

9:19 Thats one of my favorite things about smosh is that they feel like multiple generations of a family all showing and sharing their experiences. It also makes it great to watch with family.

[@atomkath]

12:58 I didn’t expect this to be deep but here I am, crying at 3pm because I feel seen by Damien. I’ve been struggling with that a lot recently (and actually forever)

[@thatlavachick2]

This was such a good group to put together for this. They are also all so talented in different ways and I think that’s what makes smosh so fun is the differences with everyone with age, hobbies, skills, etc.

[@ramsay2234]

I can recognise a lot of myself in Damien, also being an extroverted autistic person. I always get the idea that Smosh is a super supportive group of people to work with - these videos give us some proper insight into the people that make us laugh so much.

[@theepoopydoodoo]

Amanda has such a calm and cook disposition

[@T.Aa90]

Trevor is not only a chef, he’s a great one. Having Gordon Ramsey saying the beef Wellington you made was perfection on a plate is high praise. As a guest on Smosh he has also proved himself time and time again and is worthy of being a cast member. I enjoy everything he’s in

[@LAURA---]

I really like Damien & I’m happy he’s feeling so great about his career ♥️ I also relate to the feeling of being worried that something bad is going to happen when you’re feeling great 😩

[@jennjenns5485]

I adore Trevor...I loved him on Mythical Kitchen, but I REALLY love him on Smosh! Damien is my spirit animal. I love him, too, and I need to watch more of him. I appreciate Amanda so much...She's so great! I love her sense of humor and her stories of her husband.

[@Silversky1113]

These three are probably my favorite cast members. Love their energy.

[@K.flower]

I need more of this trio!!

[@hernameispekka_Rebecca]

They work so well!

[@forthefrogs]

Genuinely some of my faves on the cast. Love that Trevor joined the cast :')

[@LordofFraudGreisman]

the way Damien was going off about Trevor fitting in was heartwarming! he truly does not want Trevor to feel like that and you can tell! & Damien you are definitely one the first i think of when i think of Smosh you truly fit in! you and Amanda have the best energy together too!

[@jeremylugodas]

43:43 i love how damien’s face lights up when he hears the name of his costar also, favorite line ever: “it’s my ass kicking outfit bitch”

[@patriciazentz7815]

I would love 😂 to see Damien on Critical Role as a guest character. Keep having fun!!👍

[@mikha_renn]

I hope Trevor feels more at home soon because he really fits in. I love seeing him in videos.

[@AllyisHyper]

This once again makes me appreciate Damien even more.💜

[@CDTwitler]

I remember when Damien was initiated into Smosh Games!!

[@kleenexpuffs5235]

Great trio for this video! Loving the smosh cast crossover interviews and assumptions lately

[@synicalrabbit]

For Amanda's question/assumption at the end about professional actors being voice actors: The answer is yes. Think Robin Williams or Mark Hamill. Professional actors, but also known for many of their voice acting roles. Studio Ghibli has been known in particular to cast ]American actors for their English voice over adaptations and this has been met with pretty good success/reception from audiences. It's definitely a talent to be able to do both.

[@leovyn6531]

These therapy-like discussions 🔥
