Spencer's sheer determination to win is inspiring, I'm sure Mt. Dew Kickstart had nothing to do with his performance 😂

[@ultrabigfella]

Performance Enhancing Mountain Dew

[@Jagger-Tyr_13]

Wait.... You think he was dosing? "Doin the Dew" if you will?

[@Demi_P]

@@Jagger-Tyr_13 “Doin the dew” is so hilarious 🤣

[@Jagger-Tyr_13]

@@Demi_P I assure you, this is no laughing matter. In the past 30 years alone, dew has caused the deaths of 1.5 billion youtubers and that numbers growing!

[@evinlang62]

I love how there was ZERO acknowledgement to both Spencer & Damien having changed hair colors between filming the two segments for this video, lol

[@babyggukie3580]

shayne changed outfits as well lol

[@vipermain328]

Damien’s ability to multitask will never cease to amaze me. He can hold full conversations while playing video games, sometimes while streaming on his own! Mad props

[@bell45vayo86]

Damien and Spencer are the only people I think can have the weirdest conversation while holding a full rally of badminton

[@GyroMetric]

It makes me laugh whenever we get random shots of Kimmy doing literally anything else, but paying attention to the game.

[@rikkiblack7896]

You can really see Spencer’s relationship with everyone is this video and he is soo happy 🥹

[@georgelloydgonzalez]

Specially Kimmy. They're besties

[@LMR23]

Damien telling Spencer to serve it so he could win was nice of him. It’s kind of him that he roots for others and not just himself. Good job playing badminton, you both did very well.

[@shriya1419]

In the outro the fact that Courtney and Shane were just playing behind them ✨😂

[@TrueJamo]

And Ian just clapping and saying WOW the entire time.

[@zachkrueger3850]

You can definitely tell Shayne and Courtney have that brother sister relationship cause Shayne was hitting the shit outta of it back at her ,😆😆

[@DaisyElf508]

​@@zachkrueger3850 It was a different kind of energy.

[@zachkrueger3850]

@@DaisyElf508 yeah they did a good job keeping their personal lives off camera. It did but also didn't shock me finding out they got married lol

[@shelbydont]

Pitting Spencer and Damien against each other is unfair because they’re my favourite, but also delightful since their my favourites. Also, Mom Courtney in the back is so endearing.

[@KamelinJalka]

I really shouldn't be this excited about two grown men playing badmington this badly... But yet, I watched the whole thing and got my heart rate up couple times 🤣🤣

[@AJ-ht3kf]

We all are.

[@bofurlong8944]

Spotting Tim through the window was the highlight of the video ♥️

[@cdcollins337]

When?

[@XPEH]

@@cdcollins337 11:11

[@sgmagrndst383]

Surprising how the lights didn't shatter from Spencer's sigma strength

[@hjhgaming8634]

I’m so happy to see Spencer as a part of the cast.

[@michaelmoon7245]

You are correct, Damien. We love Spencer.

[@maniquizmiguel6099]

Fun seeing these Spencer and Damien play badminton is a small space. 😄😄

[@deadlysiren6918]

As the crew members have changed Im glad Spencer was added to the team because of your noshalant humor that just tickles me pink. I love the bromance of Damin an Shane 😭

[@cryforhelp7270]

Wait he's actually crew now???

[@jannafreudenberg1878]

​@@cryforhelp7270yes

[@stewartglencrose9023]

I love the fact there’s an office full of people behind a window just ignoring this. “Just another day at Smosh”

[@Jagger-Tyr_13]

I'm so glad you guys did these as individual episodes rather than lumping them together in just one. Seriously made me love this as a series 🤘

[@andrescevallos1766]

The match-up of the century. Gamer vs gamer, but irl

[@rockomorow4214]

I love how Damien sometimes randomly talks or curses in German.

[@georgelloydgonzalez]

Don't worry, Spencer, you'll always defeat Damien in my heart

[@RoySan20]

I love how the other crew and cast members are vibing in the other room 😅 I think badminton can be a part of breakout during office hours 👁️

[@gen3r4lmills51]

two gentleman politely playing badminton. they couldn’t have “m’sir”ed hard enough while also playfully doing sports like no one was watching and enjoying their time together

[@lillytai6107]

Damien agressively saying sh** in German is so funny

[@juliel9012]

I never thought watching badminton could be enjoyable until now. Love seeing Spencer in more videos and his pairing with Damien was what we all needed. Also that little match between Courtney and Shane at the end was perfect.

[@kyleighpleiman]

Spencer deserved 10 points for that save

[@janikdominik2809]

Hearing Damien Curse in German is absolutely awesome. As a German myself i feel accomplished even tho i did nothing

[@vagenaut69]

Okay! We're going to need more game vs reality videos. I'm looking forward to seeing you guys taking turns being zombies for resident evil and everyone dressing up as Nintendo sumos to copy the super smash's knock each other out of the ring mechanic.

[@wws2813]

Thank you so much for adding the subtitles on all the channels as a bilingual person that doesn't know 100% of english I really really appreciate the extra effort

[@SteveNorwalt]

👍How could we not respect someone secure enough to say, "there are cocks all over my head"? And with such a straight face. Still, I have to also respect Damien's sheer support for his friends. Ah, they're both great guys. Thumbs up all around. 👍

[@DryBones271]

Considering the pattern, I'm going to guess the final will be Shayne Vs Spencer for Bowling.

[@fruitgum9619]

0:31 i love how courtney said something but it was immediately cut out 😂❤

[@natalie_kendel]

Smosh. Where everyone is DESPERATE to be heard, and NOBODY knows how to listen.

[@tristan2769]

11:09 I love how Tim just casually walks in the background

[@fynntasticmovienight]

Some feedback: the "card picking" at the beginning is kinda boring bc we already know whos going to go against who. Maybe its more funput the "picking the new players" paper pulling thing at the end of the episode to make people exicted for the next episode? That way the paper pull is more exciting to watch, and i get hyped to see the next episode.

[@3llevate]

Ohhh great idea

[@Dudemaestro1]

I'm digging that this show is turning into "Damien beats everyone at all the sports."

[@gracegrrl007]

We need Damien vs. Kimmy, the two who beat everyone at all the sports. Who will win???

[@emilymorgan1994]

these are so much fun!! i'm so sad it's almost over!

[@hannahwatermelon]

I love Damien's magic hair changing from blue to purple from the game to the IRL game.

[@Flaxguren22]

yess finally BADMINTON, my all time fav sport. thank you for this video

[@uplayfreek4766]

I just love watching Tim in the background actually working while they do this.

[@blazehaze233]

any video that includes you guys exercising is always a banger 😭

[@lucassmith992]

The commentary and banter in this episode felt surreal lmao. Like, it felt like an A.I. wrote lines for them. OR I’m Insane

[@bang-uptilly6892]

I agree with Ian. Shayne and Damien need their own videogame. Their sounds alone was worth this video

[@KaleyArmour]

The fact both Spencer and Damien’s hair changed color in between video game and IRL made me happy.

[@nobody-gq6ju]

thank you ❤️ sometimes i just play smosh videos in the background to feel less alone.. feels like yall are my chaotic friends hanging out at my place

[@malindapetersen7930]

I love that both Spencer and Damien had hair changes between the video game part and them playing irl

[@HanSan17]

The people just casually having a meeting in the next room while this chaos is going on😂

[@Sarahkoruya]

damien's purple hair looks so awesome!!

[@devinitimusic]

These episodes are absolutely underrated. Worth a million views at least.

[@Aryaa._.B]

I’ve trained in badminton for over 4 years and oh my…this is gonna be interesting.

[@hopelesslydull7588]

What'd you think?

[@prernap3104]

i was so afraid they would hurt their wrists hitting it with palms down

[@dchen2140]

I only watched because I love smosh, but boy this one hurt. (I play Olympics format badminton)

[@MrMarvo69]

Spencer and Damien have little experience in badminton and it shows lol

[@Aryaa._.B]

@@hopelesslydull7588 I stopped thinking the moment they started serving😂😂

[@joshuaheller784]

I love how at the beginning of the IRL portion, Damien was in full Shez mode, even with his purple hair.

[@FaTerokiMenra]

Damien doing some Fire Emblem quotes that appear in Smash Bros is now way more hilarious than it would've been before learning he's in Three Hopes.

[@dia3654]

I love how Damien keeps going to fighting stance and taunting. Makes me feel like it all a video game, after all. =,)

[@Hey_marshmallow]

Damien and Spencer…. Shuttlecock Champions!!

[@lillybugs]

spencer is such a nice dude :,)

[@the_real_tpayne]

This was such a great video series. I would love to see the new cast participate in a revamp of this series

[@AaronLevyDrums]

Man, that was fast how quickly Damien dyed his hair! (joking)

[@Alycat_777]

This is a classic chaotic Smosh video I needed today🥹

[@joeparedes6974]

Mom, can we get Badminton? Mom: No we have Badminton at home. Badminton at home:

[@pia_moss]

best part of this video by far is Damien’s „Scheiße” cause i too when speaking english will throw in a „Scheiße” here and there, bestes Wort der deutschen Sprache

[@FabulouSaki]

Damien: *holds badminton racket* Wields it like a keyblade

[@squimblejibs]

Kim my with two sweat bands staring blankly at the tv “hit the biiirdieeee” 😂

[@StormBoy95]

I used to play badminton all the time in high school, and I was never good at it! I’m glad to see how it’s done properly maybe I can pick it up sometime in the future. P.S. It was very entertaining and competitive to watch you guys play badminton. Keep up the great work. P.P.S. RIP the lights!😂😂😂

[@joshfarmer8408]

Place your bets, who is going to play bowling. My guess is Courtney and shayne

[@jameshansel2755]

Its Shayne and Spencer

[@blazehaze233]

HOPE SO

[@ArthurJDavid]

Kimmy vs Ian again or Kimmy vs Courtney again, or literally anyone vs Kimmy, but one things for sure I feel it’s Kimmy vs Someone?🤔

[@Chimadena13]

I love that Damien won on a backhand after recognizing that it was his weakness.

[@Ravenheart1999]

I will put out there that it seemed like some of Damien's shots went under the net, which would have made them Spencer's points if that had been a proper game.

[@maestroblloyd]

If the Scripps Spelling Bee was a physical sport... Goddamnn I love you guys.

[@lazerman27]

The transitions from game badminton to irl badminton where Damien and Spencer change their hair :o

[@ivorellarackley4401]

This is my favorite episode of this so far, fencing is a close second 🥰

[@danielabohmert7579]

Damiens little german curseword made me happy, it wasn't beeped out. My eyes went big and i had to laugh about that Matter. Also when i play Badminton with friends it looks the same way.

[@Aryaa._.B]

Was I the only one worried about the TV in the background when they were playing😂 Edit- I should’ve not forgotten those poor lights 😂😂😂

[@maniquizmiguel6099]

Not alone bud

[@highvoltage988]

This was some GOODminton!

[@fedrickmendoza9906]

The last Nintendo sports video: shayne and Damien grunting vigorously This video: 2 men 1 Shuttlecock

[@bigmaczachattack6110]

As a badminton champ this was hilarious 🤣🤣

[@NGC-7635]

14:44 woah, it's the legendary "I'm getting bored" courtney. She appears every now and then.

[@mattisvural7866]

I love how these shows are every- and anything else than the game being played lmao

[@3llevate]

Love the Damien poses and love the Spencer hair

[@MarinaMae]

Damien out here telling Spencer how good he is doing is so cute 😍

[@head2797]

I like seeing the meeting going on in the background behind the window for half the match.

[@auroramoss531]

This is definitely gonna be fun, I love your vids!! ❤️❤️

[@TheNexan_]

I like how Damien held two racquets before the match and has the purple hair. That is a reference and a HALF

[@tomodaphne]

Take a shot every time you see the phrase “*HITS A LIGHT*”

[@th.nd.r]

It was cool to see them improve over the course of the match!

[@isaiahfrei9058]

11:11 Tim in the background looking Supreme as ever

[@dredd7]

yessss... finally one of my fav sports 🤣👍. wud have loved to see u guys on an actual badminton court

[@reaganannburleson5970]

Love the fact that Damien’s hair changes colors halfway through 😂

[@deanna94552]

As a highschool varsity badminton player for four years this was super funny

[@Mari-sf8pm]

I think what Ian is talking about is when the year 1986 FIFA World Cup Argentine vs England where a player named Diego Maradona scored a goal with his hand known as “ The hand of God” 1:44

[@nathanieltena7310]

i appreciate the family guy reference, thank you lol. im not the only one that thinks of that when they see that cereal

[@EwokPanda]

Nothing like a quick stop at the hair salon to dye your hair before a game of badminton...................

[@rachelvining7321]

I think I prefer Smosh rules of badminton 😂

[@turntupgamer878]

Budget Summer games has been great. Thanks @Ian Heacocks

[@AM-ox5ox]

Tbh badminton is one of the few sports I can play and have somewhat confidence in, but the word play with shuttlecock Spencer having two on his head my mind was ☺️☺️🤭🤭🤭😂😂😂🤣

[@missfaithers4344]

Production meeting- "Ok let's talk budget. For the fencing video, we're paying for fencing lessons for two of you." "And what about the badminton video?" ".....We're paying for fencing lessons for two of you."

[@feorix182]

Badminton juggling is now legal because of Spenser

[@jameslind2764]

15:57 Was that a G.I. Joe PSA reference in 2022? I want to believe.

[@JustSomeRandomGuysHandle]

Dang, Damien had to go from SSJB to Ultra Ego between cuts just to make this happen. Respect. 🐉 (Talking about his hair, for those whom missed it or didn’t get the reference.)

[@kuzina666]

Smosh should buy a table tennis for office. It is always fun and better for lunch break or after work. A bit of competition and time to spend with coworkers you usually don't talk often.

[@The_VDG]

I'm only 7 seconds into this video, and I know this is gonna be great.

[@tompreston831]

I like how every person who plays badminton for the first time say the same things about the racket being very long, make the oh, so obvious shuttlecock joke and then play the exact same way
