I know this is probably beating a dead horse but I can't help but see similarities between her and Shayne. On top of both of them ironically being private people with very much vibrant personalities on camera, it's interesting how they both started out on Smosh not even part of the main cast, but now you can't even imagine the ensemble without at least one of them. All of this in addition to them being amazing writers and having so much acting experience, and Angela being a Shakespeare nerd and Shayne being a book nerd also lends itself to their parallels. They've got to have been twins in a past life or parallel universe

At the risk of sounding parasocial(?), I wanna say some things. Been watching Smosh since I was a literal child (in my 30s now), been through every single arc, every single development, every cast member being introduced, every cast member who left, and believe me when I say that Angela is genuinely one of the best thing that's ever happened to the company and to the channels. She's introduced so much variety and so many interactions that never would've been considered if it weren't for her and her brand of acting and comedy. The characters she's come up with, and all the things shes written for the channel are some of the most memorable in Smosh history, her contributions are massive. She's an unabashedly goofball who knows a trillion different ways to entertain or make people laugh, and if she ever ran out, I have zero doubt that she'd just simply invent a trillion more. Her and Chanse are easily my two favorite additions to the cast, when they're in a video together, it's a "drop everything and watch" video for me. They brought the hugest breath of fresh air to the company and I appreciate them so much for it. The laughs these guys have provided for me will stay with me forever.

[@rafaelfonseca4558]

I’ve been watching smosh for so long and honestly there’s times where she kind of reminds me of old school Ian in a weird way.

[@Octobris]

Beautifully said. Completely agreed.

[@IbokRock811]

[@andrewhoff8782]

She's an incredible cast member and an absolute sweetheart. "Do it for the vine" encapsulated in a person, dedicated to the end when she's doing a bit.

[@Roneish1996]

I stopped watching for a long time and returned around when they announced they bought smosh back and it was amazing to see all the awesome people at smosh now, I didn’t even watch most of the main channel stuff with Ian and Anthony back for a while. It was especially great as I was (and often still am tbf) struggling with a lot of mental health stuff and found that all of their stuff was one of the few big things I could watch reliably and find joy in throughout, Angela is definitely a big part of that, as are Damien, Spencer, Arasha and Chance. So yeah 100% agree.

[@Jaikip]

I love how candid this one felt, like not only was there just a camera, but it feels like Angela forgot about the camera entirely. It feels so real and I love that

[@yllwClusterduck]

Angela in Nerdy Prudes Must Die is I think my favorite character in that type of musical ever. She's just deliciously unhinged/feral and takes the good Christian girl goes wild trope in the best direction. I really hope we see more of Grace Chastity. She's also amazing in her other Starkid roles but Grace is the best for me! Also adore her singing voice 💛 I honestly need to watch more of Smosh. I dropped off right before Smosh became more than just Ian and Anthony and now I'm curious about all the new cast.

[@nerdy.prudes]

i’ve been saying this to all of my friends. the way she can tap into grace chasity is soooo unbelievably incredible.

[@DJKr15py]

Bit City might be a good intro to current smosh, it's kinda a vaguely SNL coded structure but with extremely smosh humor and Angela's personality as a host is an integral component.

[@marxvargas7697]

I loved her in Black Friday

[@matthewhearn9910]

I’ve been a fan of Starkid since they first put AVPM online in 2009, and Angela in the three musicals she’s done as part of Starkid has been my favorite actor in the company’s history. She was a dramatic standout in Black Friday (Lex Foster might be my overall favorite character in Hatchetfield and I hope we get more of her story in the future post-Yellow Jacket) and Grace is just iconic obviously. Can’t wait for Cinderella’s Castle to end up on KZbin to see her performance in that again.

[@nerdy.prudes]

[@Cat-ji1kc]

i’m about to be really parasocial: i relate SO much to angela kind of acting as the jester- making people laugh at the cost of your perceived intelligence (being silly BECAUSE ITS THE MOST FUN). i was that person for a long time, then started resenting the way people started treating me because of it. but honestly i have never happier then when i allowed myself to be silly to cumulate this feeling of joy in a room. what i think most people see but don’t say about angela, is how f*cking talented and INTELLIGENT she actually is. you don’t get this far without an intense understanding of people skills and talent. she’s so well spoken and an absolutely incredible actress. Smosh wouldn’t be the same without her.

[@Suited_Nat]

Literally this! I get how parasocial it is but you aren’t wrong.

[@levischorpioen]

I don't think it's parasocial to relate to public personalities. I think it's a large part of them being succesful.

[@EJackhorseman]

Just so you know nothing you said was parasocial that word has become a parody of itself because people use it in the wrong context or just don’t know what it means so I understand why you’ve maybe thought that. However everything you said is a normal beautiful human experience in which you have encountered another person that you relate to on a deeply personal level that makes you feel seen. That’s a touching empathetic experience you’ve just had and I’m happy that you’ve been able to connect with someone else’s human experience without having to be in the same room as them. This is normal; this is healthy. Being parasocial would be you then believing you KNOW Angela deeply , you assume things about her life and what she likes and then insert yourself into her narrative by acting as if you are her friend anytime you talk about her. You’re good

[@EJackhorseman]

@@Suited_Natnot parasocial at all.

[@Caddis496]

I think one of the displays of exactly this is how she... like... "bumps". You know how in volleyball there are three fundamental hits, right? Bump. Set. Spike. The spike is the big showy moment. The set... well... sets up the spike. But the bump keeps the ball from hitting the ground and positions for the set. And it's the hit that hurts. You're gonna eat up your knees and elbows diving into the ground. Angela bumps. Those "I'm having so much fun!" statements in games videos? Bumps. Unhinged interjections to play into a "cut that"? Bumps. Yeah, I think a lot of it comes naturally from experience in being a live entertainer. But I also think she earnestly, cerebrally sees lulls coming in the vibe and plays that jester roll to... well... bump.

I’ve always loved Angela, and I wasn’t sure why she really resonated with me, but it all makes sense now. She gets it.

Angela was one of the reasons I started to watch Smosh again. Angela's comedic dynamic between each of the cast members is great and is rooted in Smosh's original formula: Comedy via friendships. I'm so glad Angela got chosen to be a cast member. She deserves the title. ♥️😎🗡️🐺

It made me feel like it was so much more accessible and had more potential than I ever thought.

Angela is gift for so many reasons and hearing her talk about how the community at Smosh helped her how they have is so dang heartwarming

I never watched classic smosh or the in between era, Ive really only been a recent viewer but I absolutely love the current (and past) cast and I love how you all are so chill. No matter how shitty a day could have been angela and the rest of the smosh team really help to make sure I can take my mind of things at the end of the day

[@stephensommers4628]

I could never do the gig economy like Angela. Girl got that hustle in her.

[@juniperrb]

For real though. I do not have that motivation. Love her

[@sierrafrost1222]

Angela, you nailed it. I think everything in life is about connection. I think every person finds joy in their work by the ways they can connect. The first time i saw anything of Smosh, the first thing that struck me, is how watching a group of people care about each other heals people. People who had crappy childhoods, dont have families, feel lonely, etc. Loneliness is a growing epidemic (in the US at least), and parasocial relationships can feel real strange, but I think there's some real value and more access than ever through youtube to experience healthier connection and information. Anyway, Angela, you seem like such a real one, and I think your craft is a changemaker. We are so encouraged to please others, especially when we have learning or neurological disorders. Thanks for being.

Angela as a fellow dyslexic I’m so happy you came on this. My coping mechanism is my humor, and my ability to not be embarrassed if I don’t spell something correctly. That use to kill a piece of my heart. Now I’m ok if I mess up the spelling of something. I LOVE YOU ANGELA!!!

[@hulda4ever]

I instantly felt like I saw myself in Angela and now I know why. This entire episode has made me think of how I need to start living for myself instead of being afraid to lose people who don't even make me feel good.

[@graceseveri4917]

angela is such a genuine person and consistently shines in everything she does

[@a.r.1135]

I was first exposed to Angela when she joined the Starkid crew and I have loved seeing her thrive in comedic environments like smosh.

[@cassiex23]

love angela. her, amanda and chanse are the reasons i got back into smosh. a video with any of them is guaranteed to be improved.

[@phorgottenson8945]

As an autistic person, I promise you that you made each and every day you when you visited with your uncle. Just by being there, sharing the day and not messing with the key parts of the routine like nitetime baseball. He was lucky to have you around and I am so glad that you also got enjoyment and something out of the visits and time with him as well.

Bit city has legit been my SNL fix because I finally have some gooooooood to watch.

[@rob.goblin19]

it genuinely makes me so happy to see how genuinely excited Angela gets in games videos 🥰🥰

[@samstribrid]

Smosh has been a fundamental part of my life since I was like 6-8,and Angela is easily my favorite cast member to ever come through the channel,her energy,authenticity and personality are a joy to watch hope she’s here for many years to come ❤

[@justsomegirl862]

wow ive actually never seen the serious side of her for such a long time. this was so special. as an aspiring actor myself i feel very inspired. this has somehow added such depth to her charakter i only ever seen through youtube. i wish her all the best

[@vedikapatel2474]

Oh wow I’m just half way in but I didn’t realise this was gonna be so deep and I’ll get to know such a different and vulnerable side of Angela. Just makes me appreciate her and her art even more ❤

[@peytondagenais479]

"If you're not inventing Facebook, then what are you doing this afternoon?". That's a really good tidbit on how a lot of people feel the pressure to always be, like Angela said, not living in the present. Not just that quote of course; she was very insightful.

[@day9811]

34:01 Correct. I have never physically ROFLOL’d so hard until Angela did that “damnshitfuck” cuss storm during Dread Smosh vs. Aliens. I could not breathe. Angela had so many bangers on that too. Not only is she an incredibly talented improvisor, she’s just a wonderfully genuine person. I’ve been a fan of her throughout Starkid, AOAOAOA, and now Smosh. She’s truly a comedy gem and Smosh chose right for keeping her.

[@TrenttCarddyy]

In The couple of years that Angela has been on smosh I can confidently say that she’s one of the pillars of the cast

[@thebutterflybrigade]

We love you so much Angela!!!!! Thank you for being so genuine and showing us that we are not alone!

[@LateLastNight]

Seeing people be their real authentic selves really makes me happy in my soul.

[@stephenf123]

I'm going to confess something. When Angela first joined Smosh, I wasn't a fan. The personality was too out there for me sometimes. But over time I've come to understand their style of comedy a lot better. This interview is especially helpful distinguishing on-screen Angela from real Angela. I've come around now and consider Angela as core to Smosh as Shayne. Great work Anthony!

[@joevictor53]

I felt the exact same way and I've seen others say this too. I didn't like her when I first saw her in videos. I thought she was being loud and annoying. Then as time went on, I started seeing her in a different way. I saw how funny she was. I saw how smart she was. I saw how sweet and caring she was. Plus I realised she was just unapologetically being herself. I'm autistic and I've trained myself to mask the real me for most of my life. It was refreshing to see someone not feel like they needed to cover up the parts of themselves that others might judge them for

[@MsGoldenEra]

Started watching Smosh recently because I saw a compilation of her on there and just got hooked instantly. She is awesome

[@yipyippo]

Angela talking about getting into a mindset of another… thats why i play D&D. It’s both an escape and just getting into the mindset of the character that YOU created and other people enjoy is just nice to have

[@fazithebear]

angela is honestly so relatable and this video made me cry

[@raoulduke2924]

Angela does make hilarious characters. the thing I enjoy about her on-screen persona the most isn't the wildness, but the way she hypes up the rest of the cast. From my perspective, she heightens the energy on set in a fun way.

[@BobBigWheels]

I like Angela even more after this! Love that she's feels safe to show her learning disorder. It's so important for people to see people like them, especially someone that is so loved and doing great. This was very therapeutic for me. I need to have an abundance mindset. I've been struggling for many years with this. Thanks Anthony and Angela for having this amazing conversation and being vulnerable and posting to KZbin.

[@lindsrins]

Seeing this side of Angela was really nice. Thank you for sharing this

[@maddieisch1234]

i related a lot to what angela said about people pleasing. as an artist myself i crave validation from everyone who perceives me, but ive only realized recently that i was so miserable trying to make sure everyone liked me and enjoyed my presence. there is so much freedom in living for yourself.
