Duos like these guys CANNOT be separated. Last time I saw a Smosh video was before they separated. I was in middle school. I'm 22 now and saw this in my KZbin feed. PLEASE do not separate again. Continue to make your own content just like Matt Stone and Trey Parker. They've never once separated and their product continues to grow with South Park. Yours can grow with Smosh.

[@ozone20rulez]

Actually this is even better than classic smosh, because its got the randomness of classic smosh, but the comedy is much more subtle. Stuff like Anthony crawling back from mexico without any dialogue, just wordless storytelling. Its perfect.

[@eomin]

I loved the old Smosh exactly because of the whimsical immaturity. The new Smosh is still a Comedy channel, but it's now mostly just Adult Humor. Adult humor just isn't as flamboyant. I'm really grateful that they did Food Battle 2023 in the old style. It was really nostalgic and fun😅

So after all this time…..Ian finally let the announcer guy go to Disneyland with him. It all comes full circle ❤

[@callanmacandie]

Yeah, sure has. Next year, maybe…. Anthony! Anthony! You’ve just won food battle 2024! What are you gonna do now?! I’MMA GO HOME AND WATCH THE FRANCHISE OF TOY STORY! Oh boy Toy Story! Can I come? NO!!!

[@SonicKing84]

IT'S SO BEAUTIFUUUUUL!

Albeit dead

[@314rft]

I mean, the last 4 months of Smosh has all been about closure and returning to the roots, so that makes sense.

[@darthvidar-spiller5343]

@@callanmacandie And in the next one, Ian will let the announcer guy come to his party. And not let him watch paint try. And maybe the announcer guy want to join Anthony to play with pogs.

I dont think we're gonna get a Food Battle 2024

[@themovieguru1094]

How Ian and/or Anthony have died in each Food Battle from Smosh: 2006: Anthony dies from drowning in a pool as he fails to use his beef taquitos as pool floaties. 2007: Ian dies from injuries of a car crash after failing to use his pink frosted sprinkle donut as a steering wheel. 2008: Anthony is accidentally impaled by his own churro due to slipping on a banana peel when he tried to kill a guy for hating Toy Story. Attempts to kill Ian with his churro before dying, but accidentally ends up killing the Food Battle announcer instead. 2009: Anthony dies from cyanide poisoning in his burrito by Ian during the edible food challenge. 2010: Ian is accidentally electrocuted from an electric blow dryer in a bucket of water from the teleportation device challenge after finding out that Anthony had survived from Ian attempting to drown him and even that his legs are actually working fine. As it was also revealed that Anthony surviving from being drowned to death by Ian in the pool in 2010 was also how Anthony had actually came back to life in Food Battle 2007 after the events of 2006 in the first place. 2011: Anthony reveals that he ended up making Ian poison his own pink frosted sprinkle donut as Anthony's poisoned rainbow lollipop was actually revealed to be a fake. As Anthony then kills Ian with an arrow (along with the poisoned donut), he accidentally kills the Food Battle announcer too by mistake. 2012: As Anthony tells Ian that he actually switched brains with him when Ian was knocked out during the wings of flight challenge, he also switched Ian's heart (from Anthony's body) with his (Ian's) pink frosted sprinkle donut. 2013: Anthony is accidentally impaled by a falling sword that was originally meant to kill Ian as predicted by his giant gummy snake during the crystal ball challenge. 2014: Both Ian and Anthony die from lethal poisoning: Ian accidentally having his head dunked in a bucket of poison by the Food Battle Announcer, while Anthony is exposed to poison from a catalog that Ian had poured an entire bucket of poison on it. Making it the first ever Food Battle so far where neither Ian or Anthony wins. 2015/Food Battle X: Ian is accidentally choked to death by his pink frosted sprinkle donut due to slipping on the waxed floor before he could make a healthy smoothie for the healthy smoothie challenge. The Food Battle Announcer's grandfather would also die from slipping on the waxed floor first before Ian did. 2016: No one dies as Ian and Anthony have decided to end Food Battle for good after years of Food Battle, along with Anthony leaving Smosh in 2017. 2023 (The Return of Food Battle after Anthony's return to Smosh that year): Anthony is accidentally impaled by a pair of scissors that Ian had with him. And with Anthony's death in Food Battle 2023, there would be a story arc revolving around Anthony's death after the events of Food Battle 2023.

Honestly, I'm so grateful to have this. Still managing to capture the charm of these videos after all these years, it brings a tear to my eye. Here's to many more years of smosh!

[@Spider-Complexion]

Anthony going for Ian’s mom and even just seeing Ian’s mom again is classic Smosh 😂

[@ld2s1ck]

seeing ian and anthony working together again brings back so many memories from when i was a lil kid watching their videos. im glad they were able to buy smosh back, when they rebranded it really screwed them over. now they’re in control of what goes into their videos again which is what made old smosh so great. the best part of it all is seeing them become close friends again.

[@shaflonka]

Ian and Anthony have been making me laugh and feel so happy since I was 12! I’m 21 now and they still got it. Truly so thankful for you guys :)

I’m so impressed with how they’re doing this. They’re sticking close to the roots yet it doesn’t feel outdated and the jokes still land. If it’s really just Ian and Anthony writing this, they’re genuinely very talented

[@LordB0NER]

I’m sure it is, or at least have a huge part in it. It feels so much like old smosh. I don’t think anybody could make content for them and have it still feel genuine.

[@tanimer225]

Ofc they have help and resources, but you can tell they have the reins and it makes all the difference

3:20 you get a sneak peek of ian's dad staring soullessly into the camera behind ian's mom on the left is the funniest thing i've seen from an accidental camera angle

this wasn't bad at all, i guess they really don't struggle to go back to their old format, thank god... so many creators and tv shows alike will do returns and flop so hard, this is the first time i'm seeing people return and be able to replicate what they did in the past that everyone liked

Edit: my comment posted something like eight times >_> sorry about that I always thought that Anthony was Mexican, but then I looked at his Wikipedia page and learned that he was Filipino-Spanish and German? And then watched this video the next day, which made the joke that much funnier But nah, here in Las Vegas you can tell the Mexicans (like me) apart from the Filipinos (like most of my friends)
