Yeah, I think the pressure of being constantly funny for so many years really deserves prise, he maintains that attitute that makes him so entertaining to watch as well and dedicates a lot of time to Pit, Games and streaming

[@ConnerTurmon]

I don't know if you saw it in the Roasting with Memes video on Smosh, but someone at smosh (can't remember who) made a meme that was "Smosh at 100% power" and it was the whole cast, and then "Smosh at 90% power" and everyone was cropped out except for Shayne. Obviously I think that's a little hyperbolic, but I don't think it's a stretch at all to say that Shayne absolutely carries Smosh on his back, or at least during their darker times. I love the entire cast, but Shayne is undeniably so talented at making memorable characters, and he's just absolutely hilarious. Some of Smosh's most famous bits/characters come from Shayne.

[@spearhead1657]

Especially after the Smosh Games crew left. They were the majority of what I watched. Once they were gone I mainly watched for Shayne, Damien and Courtney.

I almost teared up when Anthony at the end says that Shayne has kept the true meaning of Smosh there all along by just having fun with friends on camera. It's so true and that's what makes Smosh so special. Especially the cast now. You can see how close everyone is with each other and from Ian and Anthony to Chance and Angela. (the newest cast members) Everyone just puts a big smile on my face!

[@PhilVaive]

I've loved seeing Chanse, Angela, Amanda, and Arasha bond with the older cast. Shayne and Amanda have become SO close, and I think Chanse and Damien really play so well off each other. Angela and Courtney are so much fun to watch together (like today's Reddit stories!) and I love seeing Arasha and Ian play off each other (and I hope we get to see a lot more, they're both so deadpan and I love it). I think Shayne and Damien, Courtney and Olivia, and Keith and Noah kind of started that trend (after Ian and Anthony, of course) of people being besties on Smosh

[@ChokeSlham]

Yeah no I actually had one of those come out. Like you can't help but feel some kinda way.

[@shemybacchus3937]

Shayne is so right about his physicality when it comes to the impressions he does. It’s just as important as sounding like the person. Also, so glad he’s stuck through all of those lows. He truly has been the face of Smosh for a whole new generation of people and that kind of pressure is intense.

Shayne, Courtney, Damien etc. truly are the unsung heroes of Smosh.

I agree that if Shayne left, it would be on par with Anthony leaving. Especially if you compare the audience's attachment to them. I can say, for me personally, I am much more attached to Shayne now than I was to Anthony back then, but I didn't watch Smosh that much leading up to that. But others did. And realistically, Anthony being part of the duo certainly had more of a potent impact. Shayne and Courtney feel like the consistent two of the cast over the last 6 years. We saw them way more than Ian. So, if either of them left, I'd be pretty upset.

[@heyitsmeadac]

THIS WAS SO WHOLESOME. I LOVE THEM BOTH. This conversation, I didn't know i "needed" this. I am always impressed by how well Shayne articulates his answers.

[@kierrrac]

hearing shayne talk about how much he loves when people enjoy his characters, i'm so happy he's really been able to flex this with Sword AF and Betrayal: Legacy!! i hope we get a lot more of those types of videos bc they're so enjoyable

[@purbatreasure]

Shayne has so much contribution to shaping Smosh into what it has become today, it's amazing. But truly beyond Smosh also, he's amazing!

[@Consolous]

I was waiting for this episode, Shayne is such a charismatic guy but seems very down to Earth and is an important part of Smosh surviving through the hard times.

[@stellarae8257]

30 videos a week is insane. the fact that almost no one comments on how tired he looks or seems on all those videos is a miracle considering all of that! im proud of shayne for slowly improving on setting boundaries and caring for himself. i also didnt know he moved to LA when he was only 16!! the fact that he is such a well rounded, grounded human being is amazing and i hope over time he comes to believe in himself more 💛 also creating such memorable, quotable characters is a skill that not many have. the fact that shayne has so many is a testament to the talent he has and the hard work he puts in

[@PotatoHermano]

We need to have an interview with Mari Takahashi!

[@jgcapers3860]

Shayne has always been a favorite of mine at Smosh for his meta humor. He is thinks outside of the box of traditional comedy, has several amazing returning bits, and is one of six internet Chads that actually give the term a good name.

[@Gwenx]

So, I never watched Smosh, but I knew the name growing up with KZbin - I only tried watching it when Anthony did the whole announcement and stuff, and one thing stuck, Shayne Topps personality on the Reddit stories haha! I love his warm personality and how he doesn't judge before he gets a full picture, and the jokes, all the jokes, it has become a weekly routine to watch that with my other favourite shows - so nice to get to see him here and get to know some of his story :D

[@aaronsebastian5156]

It's really amazing that Anthony did this interview. Shayne has been the face of Smosh since Anthony left. It's awesome to see Anthony recognize and appreciate his efforts while he was gone to now.

[@Evan11Channel]

This brings so much joy to my heart seeing shayne get the recognition he deserves. So much respect for ALL of the cast on smosh.

[@joltic001]

Shayne is now such a big part of smosh for me, he's been one of my favourites for forever and I really appreciate his work! he's such a big part of smosh for me now that he's also synonymous with the brand at this point and I wish him all the best!!

[@InsertCleverNameHere0]

It's so funny to hear Anthony talk about dealing with the EXACT same backlash (to a smaller degree) when he came back that Shayne did when he came on. Just goes to show that you really have to ignore the outrage and just do the work. If the work is good, the results will speak for themselves. Smosh has been through such a wild ride that never needed to be as rough as it was, but it's amazing to see that the company is probably stronger now than it's ever been.

[@jessicajames6676]

Shayne, in my opinion, has become one of the faces of smosh and I love that for him ❤ he seems like such a genuinely sweet person and I'm so happy he's still with smosh and doing something he loves. Plus, I love storytime with Daddy Shayne.

[@dreaminginnoother]

Shayne Topp has made the Smosh channel imo. I was watching Smosh long before him, but he helped bring it into something even better. He's hilarious.

[@skult227]

The one thing that I love most about you Anthony is your emotional intelligence or empathy. Your way of communication and way of feeling through every emotion within the room resonates with me and I'm glad that over the last 10 years of watching Smosh, this is the person you've become whom I've witnessed. I already commented about Shayne on this video and he's amazing in so many different ways but I just felt like this characteristic of yours is not appreciated nearly enough so I wanted to tell you in case you read this. Proud of you guys man. It almost feels like we grew up together; as if I was the kid at your neighbour's who witnessed you from afar. Again, so proud of you.

[@Meh_Lone_Bah]

I felt shayne was one of the reasons I still watched smosh when I wasn't sure how smosh would be. His constant appearance was a nice familiar face and I was more accepting of many different changes and concepts experimented in smosh.

[@Glaciaca]

When Anthony did leave Smosh I was heartbroken but what kept me going back to watch Smosh and their other channels was the new Smosh crew and Shayne really cemented himself into working hard and making me continue to laugh every week. He’s so intelligent and a vibrant person and it’s so nice he is getting that recognition too ❤

[@belladee7529]

It’s such a heartwarming feeling to watch someone you’ve watched for so long become very vulnerable and express what they went through. This is such a great video 🤧

[@roryluukas2703]

Shayne's talent is unbelievable. There are people who can act, there are people who can be funny, there are people that can be youtubers. People who can do just one of these are rare enough... Shayne is the whole package and does it while being genuine and likeable.

[@IbokRock811]

The bottom line is that BOTH of y’all are so funny…cuz you’re both so smart!! And have so much empathy - from your characters (cuz even Anthony in sketches is a character) to your fellow castmates!! ❤ love this

[@foreveralonerx274]

Love that Shayne is getting the recognition he deserves!! Together with some of the other Smosh members, he really held Smosh together and knew how to make giggles for the viewers! Thank you! ❤

[@Mal1ily]

As a huge fan of Shayne since 2015, I can’t express how much this video means to me.

[@bingbongalong]

I grew up on old and new Smosh and it continues to be my favorite thing to watch. It's impossible to calculate how much joy and laughter y'all have brought into my life, and how much it's helped me get through hard times. So thank you, really, from the bottom of my heart for all that you do

[@bethschreiber6107]

I've been watching Smosh for about 6mos to a year. I'm a 49 year old mom and my 21 year old daughter introduced me to you guys. I love how much fun you obviously have. And we love Shayne. He is hilarious and his characters are so awesome. My favorite is the Chosen. That character is every dorky kid living and gaming in mom and dad's basement, eating funyuns and drinking mt dew. Then going out into the world trying to be cool. Love him! ❤

[@TerranceGeorge222]

He was so good in that one disney show "So Random" as a simple country boy. I remember being so hyped when he joined SMOSH back in the day.

[@justtired7598]

It's so nice to see anthony bonding with his stepchildren

[@luisguerra8852]

It was really heartwarming seeing Shayne and Anthony watching the Tom Cruise sketch. That's easily one of my favorite sketches from that era, and it was awesome seeing Shayne watching that again after so long, and especially Anthony as well having a great time watching it now, knowing how stuff in Smosh was behind the scenes back then

[@Ricky04D]

Shane is just so incredible, this man is just so special and I can hardly even find words to describe how much I understand what he says. We all love Shane and are so proud of EVERYTHING he has done. Meeting him is a dream for him and it will happen one day.

[@Reos-Domain]

I actually really love shayne, he's a really amazing guy, he's funny, chill, and I wouldn't want him to be out of the smosh picture. Feels like people such as myself can relate to him, lovely chap

[@GR4YS0NN]

I would looooove a Damien interview, with the perspective of him joining right when Anthony was leaving and his journey with smosh games' old cast then that being ripped apart and he joining the main cast, it would make a great conversation
