[@slartibartfast7861]

I hope Amanda realizes that when she messes up on screen, that elevates her status, not diminishes it. For me, I feel her confidence and charisma IN the moments she doesn't know who Harambe is, or laughs all the time in TNTL because her reactions are so genuine. It shows how she is completely comfortable in her own skin and doesn't let others' opinions get to her. She is my lifegoals. She is mother, she is queen.

[@hernameispekka_Rebecca]

This! Her being so genuine is her strength!

Such a good character! And he managed to be soooo sleezy without being creepy. I think because his focus was more on how he himself (in character) was up for anything/"loose" and didn't direct it towards others. A good balance for him to play such a character without feeling like a creep

Shayne, the Bystander needs to be just in the background of video that you get a quick glimpse of him just standing there motionless holding his coffee. Watch the comments EXPLODE with "did you guys see the bystander at xx:xx?" or "The bystander strikes again!" and everyone will go back and try to find him if they missed him

[@RobinDale50]

Yes, it will be a modern "Where's Waldo?" meme

[@hernameispekka_Rebecca]

Oh, that would work so well and be so clever. Like just adding that "hidden mickey" in every video. They can have pictures and dolls as well so Shayne doesn't have to be there. To build on that "Shayne is in every video" joke. And as you said, perfect way to attract some extra comments.

The Bystander is only funny because of Angela's reaction. He only lives because of her.

[@8Rincewind]

SPOILERS FOR THE LEGO MOVIE . . . . . In some ways, the Lego Movie is similar. We're told for ages that Emmet is "the Special" only to reveal that the prophecy was made up. But Emmet's belief in himself and his ability to inspire others still did make him special. I guess the dragon scroll in Kung Fu Panda might also work the same way. Although it's a little confusing. The text of the scroll, the fact that it's a mirror, implies that anyone can unlock the power of the Dragon Warrior. Yet it only seems to actually apply to Po.

The Teletubbies reunion is one of the best things ever! Kills me every time.

I love characters and I love character acting! I love Smosh because they have so many iconic and reoccurring characters and I honestly wish I could be a part of that. I'm not trained, but I do like going into characters with friends and I'm really good at being a "Yes and" kinda person. That's why I love Smosh so much and why I even came back to it

[@TroubledMime]

Angela has a really good Chosen too tbh, completely underrated performance from her and deepened the lore so much

[@peoswriter1]

I love this team-up. Amanda and Shayne are a great buddy duo.

[@goldenluver33]

I selfishly would give anything for Amanda to bring back the drunk girl in a more 3D way. That's hands down my favorite bit she has ever done

[@j-jackquinn5540]

where is there the drunk girl but from

[@goldenluver33]

@@j-jackquinn5540 TNTL!

Where she's like "My friends left me here 4 hours ago"

[@thecrowsflyaway3473]

I really like the toned down more conversation based episodes like this. Don't get me wrong The gimmick episodes are fun but there's something nice about these. It feels like just chilling out and having coffee with your friends

[@hernameispekka_Rebecca]

Same. I like when it's a good balance between the two things.

I would love to see The Dumpster Wizard and Sarah Christ trying to solve some sort of case. Like Sarah is trying to do her job but this random old man is just like “Ooooh but what if you don’t?!”. I think that would me so chaotic😂.

The Bystander and Gerald Cakes are both the creekside killer and they take turns covering for each other

[@ttintagel]

I would LOVE to see new episodes of Viva Smosh Vegas!

My favorite Amanda bit is drunk girl who got left behind.

[@hernameispekka_Rebecca]

Soooo good. How is she so good at fake "almost puking"?!

would love for y’all to bring back “dead table talks”!!! they were hilarious and the characters y’all played were always fantastic !!!

Because of The Chosen character, and their repeated appearance in Smosh, I started down a rabbit hole to find Chosens in pop-culture. And I wound up categorizing them as their 2.5 basic archetypes. The Revenant Chosens, and the 2 branching Saviour types of Chosens. Revenants are characters like The Crow, Blade, Batman, Sarah Connor (a revenant chosen who gave birth to s saviour chosen), and No Mercy Percey from Critical Role. They are total Process+Vengence=Justice/John Wick style characters on a mission. And they definitely don’t follow the “No Phap” rule. Then there are The Saviour archetype of the chosen, which branches off into 2 variants. The Monks, and The One who finds their One. The Spencer Agnew no Phap Chosens are the Monks. They embrace their mission and the craft of the blade so deeply that they become more elemental in their higher levels. The Ones who find their One however, are Saviour Chosens who do eventually find romance, but most often with their best friend or rivel. Like Neo & Trinity, both are Chosens, both find their ride or die in one another. Luke Skywalker & Mara Jade are also like this. Luke is that stereotype of small town boy, been on dates but never had a girlfriend, first kiss was a relative (most of the time its a cousin, but for him it was his long lost sister), than he meets a Sith girl who becomes his best friend, and than they become ride or die and get married. John Connor is this type of chosen too, because canonically he does marry & have children in both the timeline where the war happens, and where they stop the war (in the extended cut of T2).

[@ElBreaksLoose222]

Shayne pausing the conversation to gush about Courtney’s character acting is really sweet, i’m so happy for them

[@MikeyNatale]

Amanda’s Karen is hands down one of my fav characters, absolutely incredible 😭🙌

[@gabxbee]

I 100% agree that reoccurring bits are one of the best bits out there! I really enjoyed the TNTL that was just reoccurring bits!

[@hernameispekka_Rebecca]

Same. It also helps them to have a more solid footing in the cast when people can bring up their characters. Also... helps with merch-opportunities haha

[@gabiburns2289]

Amanda has joined Keith in the smosh legacy of becoming a meme

[@arthurbarros5189]

For all the crazy shit the cast does and goes throught, they're in surprisingly few widespread memes. I can only think of Keith 'bates and Shayne serving Ian cheese on an olive garden

[@betsyrbrts]

I'm so glad they followed through on the darts video. I haven't laughed so hard in a long time
