Angela is what happens when a hurricane with ADHD and a wildfire with a theater degree have a kid together. This is a compliment. I love her.

[@maribycordero]

Angela's PB&J story left me absolutely speechless. That woman can dismantle the entire system if she sets her mind to it. What a legend

[@justdrop]

She 100% admitted to a crime lmao

[@garagebandarchive]

@@justdrop good its a UC 😌

[@justdrop]

@@garagebandarchive Kind of lacking foresight. Like with business, the loss is incurred by the incoming students, not the school. They don't care if they add another zero onto your bill.

[@chancekahle2214]

​@@justdrop 120 smuggled sandwiches had no impact on UCLA's budget, I assure you.

[@justdrop]

@@chancekahle2214 I agree. They'll take from the allotted loss prevention budget they've set up with fees and raise them another 0.1% for it in the next annual assessment anyway.

[@needsrebooting]

I'm begging Smosh: please don't be discouraged by low views and keep producing this show. It's the best thing you've done in years. Of all the Smosh channels and videos, I look forward to this show the most. It's a great mix of unscripted and also allowing the cast prep time for some funny and creative ideas. It is, in my opinion, an even better version of Hacking Off. I'm also just so happy that Ian is hosting a show on the main channel and I hope he continues being a bigger part of it, even though I'm sure he has a lot of additional responsibilities. I grew up watching Smosh and love the new cast and what it is today, but Ian (and Anthony) have always been the main draw of the channel for me. Combine him with the rotation of amazing members and it's a guaranteed great time--every time.

[@scotland1987]

​@Tyffanie I Don't know what is going on with youtube just now. So many creators like you said are being affected with lack of views but that due to YT not notifying subscribers to new episodes. They are deleting peoples channels out nowhere too I know alot of people who have lost theirs. It's like YTis on some power trip just now 😂😂

[@375rough]

yes also ian seems genuinely happy with this show

[@qtip3738]

I like smosh, make happy

[@LeafMeAlone616]

Seems like more people are switching over to Tiktok. Personally I have no interest in joining for multiple reasons. But I hope creators like smosh aren't going to be adversely affected.

[@DaisyElf508]

It might also have to do with saturation. The more channels, the less time and attention people have. Each person only has a certain amount of time for YT viewing. The more channels they watch, the less time each channel is being viewed. There are way more channels now.

[@alexbo5089]

Something about Angela saying, "But me, I'm safe," while cutting an onion with one hand, her view mostly obstructed by a giant fan is so funny

[@amywestlund]

I love how Amanda is somehow both the voice of reason and absolutely unhinged, whichever is applicable at the moment 😂

[@djohnsen9674]

I love how Ian’s biggest gripe with Angela and Amanda’s methods were how rough the chop was, knowing full well what was in store with his invention. Just gotta respect it

[@BouncingTribbles]

14:20 there are actually 4 ways to cut an onion, depending on how fine a cut you need. The names are: sliced, chopped, diced, and minced. What Angela was doing earlier in the video is generally known as "mangling" the onion

[@leizero]

Lol

[@raptorexx_]

the pure shock on everyone's face when ian randomly decided to eat glue was priceless

[@niazkordei]

you guys should make a shirt that says "daddy's gonna stick with mommy" with Amanda aggressively glueing corn back on the cob on it

[@scotland1987]

I would deffo buy that 😂

[@hbombscantling7722]

That would be one of the weirdest shirts to try to explain to friends, I want one

[@koroconnell]

Angela smuggling pb&j and Amanda's sticky mommy daddy corn meltdown were two of the wildest things I've heard all week

[@AKA253]

I feel like Amanda fell back into some kind of childhood trauma involving arguing parents as soon as she wasn’t able to put the corn back together

[@sandreaandrea]

Ian is living his best Nickelodeon show vibes with this series.

[@Svol09]

Fun fact, if you get the brown skin of the onion and set it on your hair you will not tear up while cutting onions. Try it. Just take a small piece of the brown skin (outside layer) and set it on your head (scalp) works 10 out of 10 times.

[@Music-vr7sz]

BEGGING for shayne, keith, amanda, and angela to do a try not to loud challenge together

[@axelyves7345]

Actual *true tips* to not cry while cutting onions: 1. Use a very sharp knife in cutting onions 2. Wet both your knife and chopping board 3. Cut the onions in half then soaked them first in a bowl of water for a minute or two before cutting them into whatever way you like. 4. Avoid blinking too much and avoid touching your face during and after cutting the onions.

[@francoisvT]

That is a whole lot of unessesary effort, just don't cut the bottom off and make the core bleed, really simple 😄. Gordon Ramsey and I assume a bunch other cooking channels on KZbin has a tutorial

[@azarion662]

Or just not breath the smell in when you are cutting. Or put some water in your mouth.

[@wonderbirb]

Fridged onions will also make u cry less than onions not in the fridge. That's what we did when I cut them at a restaurant

[@alisaishere]

Sharp knife, speed, not old, and slightly chilled onion. This is the culinary school and restaurant kitchen way. But those last two aren't the easiest to control. A sharp knife helps with speed. So just practice chopping and you'll get faster at cutting onions.

[@TheodoreStagnum]

@@wonderbirb i keep mine in the fridge + ive gotten really quick at cutting them, so i haven't cried from cutting onions in a long while

That lettuce reveal had me dying after Shane with a carrot. Angela's OTT reactions are hit and miss for me but when they hit, they are the funniest thing, like this one.

Shayne won both challenges, but Ian won the whole episode when he ate that glue.

[@Asteroidpine]

It’s crazy Ian is still at smosh 17 years later

[@thehowlingjoker]

The correct way is to use a really sharp knife, but knowing the Smosh cast I know exactly why they weren't trusted to use one. Nevermind, not only was Shane given a knife that looks like it was designed for hunting dangerous game, he was also given a hammer.... Edit: IAN HAS A FUCKIN KNIFE WALL, SAFETY IS NO LONGER AN OPTION

[@IceArceus_]

I thought Shayne's technique was gonna be more of a joke lol. Now imagine if he threw the onion too hard at himself and it just went through the plastic into his face 😅

[@corinnewolfe963]

A quick tip for anyone who agrees w Angela about onions: use Challots. They’re a smaller, milder onion. I buy a pack of 3 and use all of them at the same time where I’ll use half an onion for the same recipe. The taste is very similar but without having the extra steps. I also don’t cut onions properly and it never negatively effects me when I cut challots the same way. Edited for typos and wording

[@6iheartyou]

Fun fact, if you put a damp paper towel partially under the corner of your cutting board it helps you not tear up. Something about the chemical in the onion looking for the nearest source of water. That is usually your eyes, but the paper towel acts as a different source for it to go to.

[@heisticles4122]

I wish you guys would have more talking parts between bits in your current videos like you did in this one it adds this human aspect and feels more similar to improv events which are so fun lol
