[@Ruby-jb6en]

I feel like Shayne’s turns are a good depiction of how sensory overload can feel sometimes 😂

[@quickfeather]

NO WAY I JUST THOUGHT THIS TOO GREAT MINDS THINK ALIKE !

[@graycola]

FOR REAAAL

[@alil4586]

Literally 😂

[@miraculoushufflepuff9526]

I saw this comment when I was at 14:43 and just… yep. That’s how it feels. Every day. 🤣🤣

[@_SpiffyStardusttt_]

That’s wayyyyy too accurate 😂​@@miraculoushufflepuff9526

[@Azrael713]

Can we get a whole sketch where Shayne has to wear the headphones and improv his part based on what he thinks they said?

[@jessicablack1104]

oh my god this please

[@rainbowkatsuki7510]

YES!

[@grammar_ash]

YES

[@lebendigesgespenst7669]

Omg yes please!

[@shmates]

THIS

[@KatT89]

Shayne dealing with the sounds was basically my ADHD brain during a migraine 🤣🤣😬

[@salemkittie]

I had the same thought!! I was like, these headphones are an ADHD simulator

[@Dudeonwheels]

Or my ADHD brain during always. Especially when I'm trying to sleep

[@redvinesron]

I thought THE SAME. Like I work in an office call center, and very often our digital agents forget us phone agents are, well, in the room I guess. They're constantly loudly socializing, and sometimes I can't hear the customer. Once I'm off the phone, I can hear every little noise going on in the room 😞 It legit is like wearing those headphones ALL day. And with ADHD, well, it doesn't help. 😬

[@rainbowkatsuki7510]

Courtney is my adhd

[@fabledgeist]

Shayne represented ADHD overstimulation, Courtney represented being understimulated, and Ian was just the auditory processing disorder part of ADHD.

[@Mr_blanqe]

Courtney, you make being a drunk trucker/fisherman dad look WAY too good.

[@TheWasher18]

Id get in her 18 paddle boat anytime ;)

[@boostbeetle]

Girls are bruh

[@sammy3212321]

No debt, no illness, and no ass

[@WubstahWulf]

she looks like a wife of a drink trucker/fisherman and she is just wearing his clothes

[@snozwanger760]

She's so awesome in so many ways.

[@ixxiion]

I'm not sure whether the main selling point of the video is watching them play board games or watching them react to hilarious music mashups, but I'm not mad about it. 😂

[@luvely1062]

I'd love to hear what's they hear it sounds hilarious 😂 😃

[@abstractfriends6722]

[@renatal.129]

the main selling point is courtney absolutely destroying the boys at this game lol she's so good it surprised me

[@flopjul3022]

@@luvely1062 they should make a bts(behind the scenes) of this vid

[@gamergurl5231]

Dude I want the playlist they made XD

[@Morster]

*Ian* :“Doom is just Halo for sad people. Doom-“ *Shayne* :”SoUp?!” 🤣

[@BooFlo62]

I had to pause the video until I stopped crying when he said that

[@brittanymartinez8276]

I thought of the soup meme: "WHY ARE YOU BUYING CLOTHES AT SOUP? GET OUTTA THE SOUP AISLE!"

[@sagegreeeeeeen]

“Dupe? YUP”

[@alteredpercy5543]

Courtney can officially add "Master of the Whisper Challenge" under their resume qualifications... Right next to "Dean of the College of Weird Sounds".

[@nikocabrera9993]

And “Master Internet”

[@sagegreeeeeeen]

Academy*

[@aadarshgoenka3206]

I really want to listen to the music they were listening especially Shayne's.

[@Imurai]

Especially whatever fried Shayne's brain.

[@zachkrueger3850]

The way he was describing it, it sounds chaotic, which fits Shayne well but definitely agree, definitely wanna hear what it sounded like 😆

[@vickrice6082]

They should do a try not to laugh with Mark doing music remixes 😂

[@zachkrueger3850]

@@vickrice6082 it'd be a bit difficult but I could see maybe him making 6 mixes for each person and they each get a random mix but the only way I could see it working would be if each person had to use the mix at least once during the whole set. And that could actually work out great if they used it randomly and just the timing would have to be real good lol.

[@hgdellinger]

I want the audio too! The mix was incredible

[@whoishunter5851]

Ian & Courtney with the headphones on: actually trying to read the card Shayne: *insanity*

[@serafina5052]

Every time Shane puts on the headphones he enters a new part of the multiverse

[@AlisonChrista]

They say he's still falling through the universe to this day.

[@chickenfarmer321]

As soon as I read that comment I glanced up to see him at 14:41

[@josephblumenberg6574]

Shayne’s “Soup” response is now forever ingrained in my mind 😂

[@Suspense1376]

Courtney’s Tom Cat impression was spot on

[@mapes87]

She's really good at Tom, R2-D2, and Ash Ketchum.

[@naterivs]

i love how ian had to decode book pages while courtney got stuff like "peepee poopoo check"

[@tdarkhorse4]

he got anthony padilla's famous vine tho.

[@missoverlord7056]

Courtney instantly turns to a loud drunk lady with the headphones on. While when its Shayne’s turn he single-handedly gets his brain broken.

[@84Havoc]

I worked at a Bar for 10+ years, Courtney with the headphones on was every drunk girl I've ever seen, perfect reenactment.

[@christianv8757]

This might be the closest thing we’ll ever get to seeing Shayne and Ian playing a game on hardcore hallucinogenic drugs meanwhile Courtney is 1000% unfazed lololol ROFL!! 😂🤣

[@natd602]

Hmmm… suspicious 🤨 Just kidding 😂

[@snozwanger760]

Thats adhd for you.

[@jewell-_-]

Courtney is the true MVP of this game ever since

[@Victorio667553]

At least she'll be OK if she ever became deaf xD

[@GLUFSAREN]

its a skill for sure.

[@tjcmoto5484]

She is basically able to read lips. I wouldn’t have gotten one of these.

[@stevenfriedman2902]

Gourmet is the enemy of ham every sins?

[@drake7993]

Its her years of practice trying to pick up on drama in school

[@AverytheCubanAmerican]

“You think I’m weird, don’t you?” Ian’s really coming out with his true feelings 💀 This is the first time Shayne had to deal with something as loud and chaotic as himself and I am here for it

[@echo_truth8328]

Shane never fails to make me laugh in these board game vids XD

[@katiethebonelady]

Shayne having sensory overload has finally given him insight as to exactly how Damien feels every time they do a Try Not To Laugh, having to listen to Shayne and Garrett laughing loudly in the background.

[@jakethetamalejohnson1673]

Courtney’s impression of that meme 13:12 was hilarious lmao

[@MReplay56]

Do you know where it's from?

[@trehansley4542]

I want them to post mark’s mix of all the songs he played here so we can experience the trauma😂

[@hotpinkfamily6399]

Pretty sure some of them were neil cicierega songs

[@AlycatCrimson]

shayne's slow descent into madness during his first turn is so funny

[@zachkrueger3850]

5:54 Mark definitely put Foo Fighters on cause seconds before Shayne just kept saying, "The best, the best, the best..."😆🤣🤣

[@maharg90]

Courtney is so freaking good at this. I am completely blown away. Jaw wide open for like 3 minutes. Impressive af.

[@zwenz365]

Considering Anthony was the one who made the "2 bro chillin in a hot tub" vine, I'm confused how Ian didn't land that one

[@Klespyrian]

He did? I had no idea that was him

[@fnxike1421]

We need this playlist asap

[@Tyfreaky13]

Yeah I really want that playlist as well

[@revelore4090]

I loved Courtney's energy on this video

[@drea94]

6:25 Ian's laugh is actually so wholesome and cute

[@jurikalita1767]

Shayne screamed in another level... Laughing and crying at the same time 😂😂😂

[@gomescodes5546]

Being around Ian must be the best. He always looks so chill and funny at the same time. I love it.

[@luke4725]

whenever Shayne puts on the headphones, he looks like he just came out of laughing gas. Edit: at 18:29, I got a perfectly timed discord ping when Shayne made that face.

[@XDSDDLord]

Have you done Nitrus?

[@Silvanas85]

Lol!!! Shayne's facial expressions are so funny when he puts the headset on. Courtney truly has a focused mind. If she can work through all those sounds and noises in that headset. Good job Courtney.

[@alexthedude88]

Shayne is so cute when he’s out of his mind

[@Hase0XVX]

That Tom Cat screaming was actually spot on.

[@blazehaze233]

10:48 CRYING LAUGHING. "Eff" and Shayne looking at Courtney for help. Hilarious.

[@callen3570]

It took me three minutes to start watching this because hearing Shane loudly exclaim "soup???!" Had me in fits

[@Swirlingflame]

I'm glad they reconstructed the old set. I really love how warm and inviting and personal it makes you feel when you're watching the video. It's like you're sitting at the other end of the table.

[@literallyjeff]

Courtney's perfect impression of that fart noise caught me so off-guard that I choked on my drink and then died laughing, full corpse.

[@allycat969]

Ian reading aloud Shayne's cards is like a dad trying to calm down his son going through a hysterical existential crisis 😂

[@MissXHiem]

obsessed with shayne just absolutely teleporting to another universe every time he puts on headphones, it's like a cat in booties, his brain cannot touch the ground

[@lebendigesgespenst7669]

I like how Shayne’s turn around 15:00 is just a narrative of trying to ride a ride

[@ToraLowenna]

Smosh can u release these mashups - I wanna know what they were going through haha

[@LOLWAAHH]

Judging by how tired Shayne looked at the beginning, I'm guessing the playtest was chaotic 😂

[@drxela123]

The person actually putting the phrases together for this game is amazing. Such a great mixture of random and hilarious pop culture references.

[@ELlimits]

Ian the one boss Shayne still can't beat..straight one shotted lol 😆 8:22

[@Psainedrar]

I feel like Shayne putting on those headphones made him enter a new multiverse each time

[@MeerkatADV]

Shane is very good at enunciating and Courtney is kicking ass at reading lips. This was hilarious.

[@krossronin3394]

"You're not tall enough to ride this ride", probably not the first time Shayne heard that from a woman.

[@terrancesilvermistbenjamin9864]

😂😂😂😂😂😂 NOOOOOO

[@zachkrueger3850]

🤣🤣🤣

[@becauseimafan]

😆😆

[@jordannrussell9378]

They definitely add hard mode playing with someone with a mustache! Anyone who reads lips knows it is almost always way harder to read them with facial hair.

[@rightwrightwriter]

This is just straight-up how my life is with an auditory processing disorder. 😂

[@cassandracarlton400]

These audio mashups of music and screaming are just what Courtney Freakin Miller hears in their head every day

[@arininquotes8396]

I'm convinced Courtney was so good at this game bc she could just hear Shayne screaming the lines.

[@capp12249]

She guessed it perfectly when Ian read for her too, and he's sat further away and practically whispering

[@JustJocelyn]

Courtney is an absolute pro!

[@Geekanomicon]

The look on Shayne's face when ever he's guessing.

[@zevo9314]

courtney definitely got half of these simply because she knew the reference material, but between that and them laughing and making it harder for themselves, this was really funny

[@speed_bump5]

18:18 Shayne’s Mask impression is incredible

[@Orne97]

Shayne looks stoned whenever he has the headphones on 😂

[@connorswanson]

We need more of this. The decent into madness is palpable.

[@niladrichakraborty9597]

Shayne is on Absynthe, Courtney and Ian are just drunk out of their minds 😂

[@andrearoberts6518]

Courtney did so good. I’m hard of hearing and lip reading isn’t an exact science. Even the best lip readers only get about 3-4 words in a sentence and fill in the blanks. And depending on if you’re not familiar with the person, it’s even harder. Good job Courtney!

[@lancegustafson4190]

Shayne really was about to "lose it all"

[@a.shuffler4714]

At least he didn't "slip and fall" 🤷🏾‍♀️

[@TheJStale]

God how is Courtney so friggin good at this game??

[@samg6940]

Istg sometimes she was pretending to get it wrong at first just to not show off too much lol

[@BB-zy5fe]

It’s cuz she can obviously hear them

[@MiniStarNY]

I love this game prompt, I need to try this out with my hearing peers! This is me when I’m trying to lip read what my parents are saying while not wearing my cochlear implants….. I am completely deaf without my devices! 😂

[@huntermagnuson8062]

Shayne going crazy with the headphones made me die laughing so many times

[@angela4975]

When Shayne puts the headphones on he fully goes into another dimension

[@Shiverskill]

It's like Shayne is either transported to a different dimension or being fed ancient secrets in an alien language whenever he puts on the headphones

[@jopomeister]

Man Shayne beating Radahn with pure Strength build is actually nutty. Well done, man.

[@SupremeLeaderKimJong-un]

"All my babies are bleeding" "I went full on the 'six' " 😏 "I was flirting with my dad" ...Ian is definitely not okay. This is 20 minutes of Courtney being a boss, and Ian and Shayne just...being there

[@laurensova05]

Literally cured my depression for today, this is the only thing to make me laugh today

[@trashcandy.]

The best part of this video to me, apart from Shayne's meltdowns, is that while everyone else got semi-normal sentences, Ian got some of the most indecipherable mishmash of words. 🤣

[@gabbiebrown9433]

Yes! I love these old challenges! I’ve waited far too long for another whisper challenge.

[@kaw8473]

"Soup!" 😂

[@mikayla8880]

god bless courtney i feel like they are in every single video lately 😭😭😭 we appreciate you and your work ethic courtney 💓💓

[@MichaelaEvans]

I can watch them playing this game over and over again! Its hilarious😂😂😂 it never gets old😁😄

[@mashariXgames]

Wtf, Courtney, that was a perfect Tom scream. She'd definitely win if they did a cartoon voice challenge like they did for Minecraft.

[@mapes87]

Have you heard her R2-D2 or Ash Ketchum?

[@siobhanr8192]

we need this with the new cast

[@lebendigesgespenst7669]

Okay this is hilarious for so many reasons. Also I need that mix

[@nickwatchingyoutube]

Bring this one back!!!! Also Shayne's Mask impression 🤣😂🤣

[@OMGSHEENA]

Saw the short and had to look it up to watch the whole thing. Do more of these!

[@Beam2k]

Thank you for letting Courtney be drunk for this episode! Absolute perfection! 😂☠️

[@charissaramey9601]

I know you’ll never read this, but this show has kept me alive this past year. When the world was crumbling around me, I had y’all to keep a laugh in my heart. I’m old enough to be y’all’s mom but I’d adopt all of ya. Thanks for everything.

[@tori_tatertots418]

When I saw the opening I was really confused as to why Shayne's face looked like that but after hearing the sounds in his head it makes perfect sense

[@01halle]

I’m not sure if it’s Courtney’s amazing lip-reading skills or the fact that everyone but Shayne mouths normally (if you over-animate even lip readers don’t get it hahaha) but it seems Courtney got a tiny few easier ones as when is switched Ian was getting so many short-straw things to guess lmao

[@MopTopMase]

"that cowboy that screams" Living legend Jimmy FUCKING Barnes

[@KeyoUFP]

This video had me rolling. Thank you for the laughs as always Smosh crew

[@sidviscus]

Courtney: Wool sweaters can be itchy. Ian: Woo wah wah wah.

[@kenshinsquashken7438]

I really love how Shane is so preoccupied with elderly and honestly same I can't stop thinking about the game either

[@whough]

i love when the producers inadvertently invent a new form of torture

[@briabecker]

Courtney’s Tom Cat impression was impeccable! 😭😭

[@MixedSheWolf]

I’ve been not feeling well for a little bit now but watching this had me rolling. Thank y’all. I needed the laugh

[@Resuarus]

The look on Shayne's face after he said "AITA?" and Courney said "Of course he got that one" is priceless. Also Courtney is scarily good at this. I feel like she's practiced reading lips to eavesdrop on people.

[@brettxpw]

Dang, Courtney is a force in this game

[@Curtis_Plays_yt]

Shayne just went full dumpster wizard on this episode😂😂

[@abnormal_asian]

the absolute DESPAIR in Shane's eyes this video is immaculate

[@voluptuousvince6522]

No joke, Courtney did the noise the first time and I instantly recognized it as that fart. That's pretty good lol

[@sarahmarie345]

Chanse and Angela need to play this!

[@DPRMIT0]

This is so much funnier when both people have headphones and they both have to lip read it 😹😹😹

[@annoster4003]

The favorite trio back at it 🤩

[@NfamousShirley1]

I’ve been binging these board game videos all day and have come to conclusion that Courtney is amazing every board game haha
