Damien’s holding onto that ceramic chicken like it’s his emotional support animal

Nice great magnificent video 📹

Erin made the genius play of having an account that can easily be read as ironic or unironic, so that you can get interaction from both parties.

[@becauseimafan]

I was looking for this! Completely agree! 😂😂

[@mar__k]

How's that ironic or unironic tho and how does that get interaction from both parties? "HarryFeetCam" and "I

[@sgurhs]

@@mar__k Because of the username bio and effort put in it would attract people who unironically want to see Harry's feet but because of the over-the-top editing it would attract people who find it funny in an ironic way even if they're not into feet.

No, it's just dumb and horny, so TikTok users like it

[@siiri8902]

I think Courtney actually made up a really fun little concept for a pet account! That's the kind of account that would randomly go viral on like day 39 and then the cat would have a very loyal following for years after that. And oh my, Erin is a damn genius 😭

[@lightshadowed]

Can't blame him, I'm his age and that Harry Feet Cam is what trends on tiktok kinda made me want to die. If I were a career content creator and comedian who put their all into making skits and bits, only to find out that some guys feet edited to music for 5-15 seconds does better than my carefully considered and labour intensive work, I'd probably go home and cry.

Well, it's sad that content that get you the views on social media gets dumber and dumber. But then again this whole channel was built upon very low effort videos from Ian and Anthony and those were getting millions of views. So in fairness, the older cast members shouldn't complain here.

It seems that the cast were trying to think of a funny idea for a profile, and then tried to make it popular, and erin was smart enough to realize you can’t get any funnier than what people actually watch on tiktok. Hilarious video as always

[@stellasummer1534]

Shayne getting depressed over feet is my literal eternal mood. I DO NOT GET IT!!! Too real of a reaction. I was legit thinking while watching wtf is wrong with this world??!

[@happytoaster5682]

Yeah the feet thing is genuinely just gross and I really disliked that on a moral level. It's legal, yes, and posting pictures of yourself does not come with any guarantee of respect from the people who see them. But it's one of those things you shouldn't do anyway, just for the icky way it makes you feel.. she looks up to Harry Styles and wouldn't want him to see this, but did it anyway? For a dumb competition? It's just not a nice thing to do.

[@aslfdjalskjflkajs134]

It's sweet, though. They kept their relationship private to respect it, and give it room to grow - and also that could stay friends without internet drama or harming smosh if things ever ended. Now they're ready to be more open (in a low key way).
