Food Battle 2011 (Flashback)

[@YTFlove4ever]

Anthony having an introspective moment about asking Ian's mom to do the bed scene and if they went too far and Ian just blowing past the moment with a grunt is quintessential Smosh

[@copbabycombo1311]

There wasn't a grunt. I think Ian just wasnt paying attention and said "mmm" as if he was paying attention.

[@redmist6630]

I hope they go super Michael Bay explosions overkill but keep it chill and low budget just like the first one. Have I made myself clear?

[@copbabycombo1311]

[@EcksEcksEcks]

I love how Ian just totally zones out multiple times during the filming of this. Just so relaxed and chill to be hanging out and chatting he forgets he's on camera.

[@E3WEINER]

I think my favorite line in the food bottle will always be, “When I drowned in Food Battle 2006, I learned how to survive underwater… by holding my breath!” Lol😂 still cracks me up

[@anthonylesley982]

Yes

[@Olivebutter2236]

Thisssssssss

[@nld_artz]

2010 was definitely my favorite. The “I learned to survive underwater by holding my breath” and “I’m gonna go home and play with pogs, wanna come??” “NOO!!” are so iconic and hilarious

[@Misunao23]

“BY HOLDING MY BREATH” Plus they both tried to poison Ian’s mom

[@olefredrikskjegstad5972]

Ian gets beaten up with a Donut "it worked" lmao

[@keithharrissuwignjo2460]

My favorite is definitely 2013

[@cmrobbins88]

Dude I really missed Anthony’s maniacal expressions and laughter. His eyes go so far down when he’s looking down and has a fantastic evil laugh.

[@DHawkBeats]

Ikr 😂

[@paolopasaol9700]

Fingers crossed we might get that in Food Battle 2023

[@StranglerSix]

20:51 Anthony doing fast maths has the potential to become a recurring gag in the Smosh universe. We need a compilation ASAP.

[@lisa_vxng]

ok so yes i definitely want that compilation as well but there was no maths involved in that moment😂 24fps quite literally means 1/24 of a second is one frame sooo not that crazy here? But he's had other moments

[@leelee353]

I feel like one day this will escalate and Erin will say “You don’t remember Bikini Girl #2’s name? Well she’s here in the studio right now.”

[@prathamsalecha3761]

In this new announcement I noticed how Anthony's choice of food was always vaguely phallic shaped and Ian's was a donut I don't even know how I didn't notice it before 😂

[@kamachyd]

same lmao how did that go over my head???? I was a kid sothat makes sense I guess

[@kaelin_cherise]

This comment was my glass-break moment... I didn't notice either.

[@baddaytrader]

@@kaelin_cherisewhat does that mean, “glass-break moment?” I have read of a “break glass moment” as in an emergency, but obviously that doesn’t fit the context here… can you explain please?

the editing on this episode is absolutely top tier. the inner monologue of ian eating the donut killed me.

[@bennettbodnar5531]

Meh. The editor was trying too hard in this video, ngl. And I understand that Ian tends to zone out from time to time (in videos that aren't the main channel sketches), but constantly focusing on it in the edit is more cringey than funny…

[@nbtph9769]

@@bennettbodnar5531I actually like the edit tbh, it’s a good distraction from the usual podcasty vibe if that makes sense. It’s just a matter of preference

[@JackieGoehner]

Omg, I can answer so many questions. The bunny was mine, his name was BooBoo. The story behind that was someone else was cast to play my part, but she was a no show. I had JUST got BooBoo and Ryan called and asked if I could fill in. I said yes, but I couldn't leave BooBoo because I had just got him the day before and I didn't want him to be by himself. Ryan gave the ok, and I had BooBoo in his travel cage and he was popular on set

[@bennettbodnar5531]

@@irenic_raccoonI always thought that they both had ADHD, but since we all know that Anthony has had a lot of struggles with his mental health throughout the years, it's made me understand why his behavior was a little 'off' in some of their older videos (especially in the initial Smosh Games videos, where it felt like Anthony was going through something but was trying to get through those videos by smiling through the pain ~ I'm talking about the first year of Game Bangs, where something always felt off about Anthony's behavior)
