[@Soap_box]

It's so cute to see Shayne get so many correct. It's so obvious that Shayne takes the time to really get to know and cares about everyone at the office.

[@Floninjalo]

Cute isn’t the word I’d use, but I see you.

[@StayOutTheWay7]

They’ve said he’s the popular one. Can’t even sit with him at lunch because he’s surrounded by people.

[@spontaneousspazoid]

I think most Smosh employees do, they give off those vibes

[@supercalime]

His psychology degree coming in handy

[@jocosesonata]

​@@StayOutTheWay7 Aww! That's a sweet fact to know. It's like a subversion of the classic Popular Kids Table, except it's because everyone wants to sit with them, and not because it's exclusive only for the popular kids.

[@Kazutoification]

Shayne utilizing his psychology degree by observing his co-workers' battlestations.

[@Towkeeyoh]

Was just gonna make da same comment, they milking his certificate hard!

[@corybaldwin1168]

Since he used it for a video is it tax deductible now?

[@ksolo5382]

Don't forget the guessing who slapped him

[@Earnan21]

Shayne guessing co-workers is such a great genre. The way he breaks things down is fascinating.

[@boodesultan12]

And the fact Shayne is darn good at this game is amazing More Shayne guessing coworkers/crews stuff

[@stacicrawford1437]

Do I remember correctly his degree was in psychology? Because if I do remember correctly it explains why he is so good at stuff like this lol

[@rachelrussell293]

@@stacicrawford1437 yes he does

[@jessvachon1043]

@@stacicrawford1437 yep ! I took psych 101 in high school,and even in a beginners class like that we did an assignment where we went to the mall,observed people,wrote down our observations,and then analyzed what their behaviors/appearance said about them psych-wise. Not anything mean,just things like "this person may be outgoing because they're wearing alot of bright colors,smiling to themself or other people who pass them,etc"

[@skedizzle]

This is what the psychology degree was all for

[@blazehaze233]

Now please make Shayne guess his coworkers fridges !!

[@stormyrain96]

I didn't know I needed that, but now I do

[@tickledtoffee]

@@stormyrain96 omg same!

[@urmomlol.17]

I want to see this

[@g-rose1141]

This is nothing.. but it’s also everything 😂

[@MissIpaMusic]

Cool idea!!

[@Rizzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz]

Its crazy how Shayne didn't even feel that caterpillar on his lip

[@SS-tt1fs]

Maybe he keeps it close to see the butterfly hatch

[@judegaoiran]

What lip?

[@brylegopela5601]

That's right man 😎

[@toadt0ad]

oh ur sick😭😭

[@IceArceus_]

What do you mean, he was petting it throughout the video lmao

[@andreponniah9900]

Between the slap video and this one, It’s nice to see Shayne finally learning how to actually use his psychology degree.

[@rachelrussell293]

That’s what I said 😅😅😅

[@Arcane_Archer]

I would unironically love to watch Shayne get to finally build his own battlestation!

[@boodesultan12]

Alot of people on smosh subreddit surprisingly want him to have a twitch/KZbin stream channel

[@mtavsen]

Just like Henry Cavill 😮

[@adewilliam9047]

GET LINUS TECH TIPS INVOLVED

LTT & Smosh sounds awesome, build it!

[@kg4wwn]

@@adewilliam9047 Why do you want Shayne's computer to be dropped?

[@SweetiesSys]

It’s the way Shayne analyzed the setups, literally missing Alex’s photo directly to the right of the Monopoly game, and Spencer’s reflection in the poster 😆

[@elijahharmel8450]

also the fact that kimmys desk was a standing desk and he probably couldve gotten a lot further with that, def noticed the alex photo too lol

[@crunchy..t0ast965]

Selina’s shocked me, it looks like an image from Pinterest. Honestly props to everyone for their epic setups

[@noahgahm]

Yes. It looked like something you might find in a catalog or on display at IKEA. 😅

[@aschneids]

I thought Tommy‘s battle station was literally just the couch area at the Smosh office 😂

[@asher_mom]

And he didn't explain the stain 😂

[@justalittlealien]

The stain looks like a question mark and I think it's pen or marker due to the consistency of the shape

[@dmdave2512]

Honestly I thought Tommy and Spencer were both just kept in lockers in the storage room until needed.

[@sillybandsurmom667]

THIS NEEDS TO BE SERIES!! Ideas: nightstands, fridges, bathroom sink, make up areas, etc

[@andrewcook5192]

Purses/pocket contents

[@ssarah867]

car interiors

[@derlis_whatever7033]

Book shelves!

[@jhandle900]

Seems a bit much..

[@makawoni]

social security numbers

[@llzeroll5797]

You guys really don't want Shayne's psychology degree to go to waste

[@anartificer]

I'm just here to say that Shayne with a mustache has some serious sitcom dad vibes, and I mean that in the best way possible. Power to him.

[@FunkyGhostHD]

Well, he actually might be on his way to become a real sitcom dad, it's always a possibility 🤷‍♂️

[@gilly_axolotl]

It's genuinely so heartwarming how much Shayne (and Ian from the crew trivia vid) know about the people they work with.

[@RoryExtraLife]

"We're just normal men." Absolutely top tier.

[@HaydnSR]

As a brit, Shane quoting Hacker T Dog, threw me for a loop, how has a cbbc puppet character made it as a meme in California

[@bryantmoore7117]

We’re just innocent men!

[@IceArceus_]

Round of applause to Shayne for actually getting to know the people he works with, and showing interest in them enough to know what their battle station would look like. 😌

[@con_keister_door]

The fact that he was able to get almost 70% of them right is impressive

[@rahjahknows]

Another banger. Another banger by Shayne who uses his psychology degree to guess his coworkers.

[@knomeknees]

His cats must have a field day

[@jhammers1918]

Shayne should make his own BuzzFeed quiz that tells you which crew member you are based on your favourite cheese

[@rashminibandara1364]

Its wholesome to see that Shayne really pays attention to everyone to know all those tiny details. And Man's good at shrinking. Psychology degree pays off 😂😊

[@asher_mom]

I would totally go to him as a therapist.

[@htspencer9084]

​@@asher_momhonestly him, Damien and Arasha are very insightful people who if they were friends of mine, I would genuinely come to them for their point of view.

[@adams509]

"There's a lot of herb😐😐😐😐" absolutely killed me 😂 I wouldn't have gotten that if it weren't for the prolonged staring

[@genee.m]

How about Shayne guesses coworkers - By their search histories - By their favorite movies - By their childhood bedroom - By their bag contents The possibilities are endless but I love these. Learning snips about the production crew from the perspectives of the cast is so wholesome.

[@TheDeviantPro]

I like the running gag of Ian trolling Shayne in these types of videos.

[@Happynick88]

Spencer's "Those are so hobbits, bro" comment got me. That was hilarious!

[@MegaJman2009]

I like that shayne literally looked at the monopoly game in Alex's space and 2 inches to the right was a picture with Alex in it 😅

[@sorrytodisappoint]

I'm amazed how Shayne actually knows these things about the people he works with.

[@virtualpants]

Human observation is a hidden talent of actors, and I have so much respect for it, but this was next-level impressive. I would have loved for this to be a collab with Spencer, since they talked about doing this in a previous video, and I like how they play off of each other.

[@louellaworsham7745]

Please do more of these, having Shayne guessing different areas of his coworkers' living spaces lmao

[@MisaMapache]

From slapping to set ups this man knows his crewmates. He already won the smosh GOAT title.

[@neelauthayan]

27:45 you know it’s Spencer because who else would troll Shayne with a google image search of him 😂😂😂😂

[@Zoro-IX]

Damien’s cable-management is zero/10 while he may have a 9/10 station 😂

[@emilywong7]

Shayne gives off that "boss-that-everyone-loves" energy and I love it! It's incredible how he knows so much about all of his co-workers, regardless of their role in the company...very cool workplace.

[@brooket.6137]

I can’t believe Brittany has me as a baby hanging in her battle station

[@jessvachon1043]

Shayne is just more mature than me because I went "the mouse pad looks like bewbies" 5 seconds before Shayne said "the mouse pad looks like a butt or a chest of some sort" 😂😂

[@EK-911]

the moustache 👨🏼

[@atypicaloddity]

Between this and his results in the slap video, Shayne really knows the Smosh cast & crew sooo well

[@cornonjacob]

I love how the crew has been included in content more and more recently. It's great to get to know them better through content like this and who meme'd it. I have started to get a shocking number right in these bc of explanations they give, especially Shane

[@blissfullycat02]

Selina and Lizzys setups are so nice and I agree, Janie's is very cozie... Jesse's is really cool too though as is Damiens (no surprise) but the disorganization of the cords underneath of his gives me anxiety and I am shocked it doesnt him too lol

[@Chuycabra]

I love the fact that Shayne knows everyone so well! That whole crew has to be the best kinda people to work with!

[@marmiteghost]

yes, you can see spencer's reflection in the poster, but i would also like to point you can see his google pfp in the top right corner of the monitor

[@Nic-yj9pk]

i couldnt even tell you half the shit that shayne knows about his coworkers to describe my best friends 😭 this man notices so many details lol

[@TheMetallplayer]

Welcome to another episode of "Shayne trying to find a use for his psychology degree"

[@stevievaughan5096]

i actually loved seeing that damiens station had the little black and clear bottles of nail polish. i think i’ve had this same bottle of nail polish on my desk for years and i don’t remember the last time i used it. it’s permanent now

[@redfyresasoiaf]

I want to see a Shayne vs Kimmy guessing things about the crew competition bc it seems like Shayne analyses in such a unique way as he has a Psychology degree. You know who else has one? Kimmy (I'm pretty sure). it would be very interesting to see them analyze co-workers or the like in their unique ways still influenced by their education in the field. Idk, just an idea.

[@justinliberti5917]

I love the way Shayne knows his coworkers and breaks down slaps/pictures/psyches. These videos are so fun whether he is right or wrong. Plus its fun getting to know the crew a bit more. Also, Shayne is usually right lol

[@rashminibandara1364]

If I remember correctly, Tommy had a MUCH cooler battle station during COVID lockdown when he made that song with Courtney

[@PhenixhasrisenREAL]

29:34 Ian was prepping a year in advance for Submissive and Breedable. What a dedicated method actor.

[@spenserwalker4361]

I like that the vibe is they woke Shayne up and immediately had him guess coworkers battle stations ha.

[@flyonwall81]

I love how these kinds of videos really showcase just how well Shayne has gotten to know the production staff.

[@blazehaze233]

I love when shayne uses his psychology degree

[@po1609]

Shayne should've done this as the detective from knives out. Love how observant he is; and breaking down every single detail to deduce who's set up it is. Except Josh and Damien's set up. I think we all got those. 🤣

[@dr.rachellindberg5816]

I think all the crew should work together to design a battlestation for Shayne after this! I really appreciate Alex's dual work/art building station, and I love Damien's whole setup.

[@GrigoryTingus]

6:54 shayne referencing an old school british meme has absolutely made my week!!

[@alexeifiore8573]

meanwhile james corden couldn't name a single camera operator on his own set

[@ripley4884]

shayne saying "we're just normal men" got me way more than i thought it would

[@warriyorcat]

The other thing Shayne missed in Josh's setup was the Hatchetfield Nighthawks pennant in the cup to the right of the computer (8:54). The Hatchetfield High School (nickname/mascot: Nighthawks) was where a good portion of Team StarKid's latest musical 'Nerdy Prudes Must Die' takes place, and I believe Josh played bass in the band for the musical.

[@emmah2516]

we need more love for shayne’s mustache, he looks good with it 🫡

[@vishalvenkat6]

Shane is slowly transforming into the dad from Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs.

[@marvelanddcretrospective]

Shayne's definitely deflecting. He's probably the one with the poster of the anime girl with giant feet crushing a building.

[@joeparedes6974]

One of the reasons I love videos like this is because we actually learn a decent amount about the crew which we probably would know nothing about otherwise.

[@paytonbenkerbenker3280]

i love how you can tell how well he knows his coworkers and how intentional he is, like remembering the smallest details about each of them

[@chelseapeterson349]

Great job keeping the crew's laughs and subtitling the background comments, really made the vibe XDDD

[@davidj.r.6657]

6:53 "We're just normal men... we're just innocent men" I understood that reference😂

[@Danongorf]

"Oh, they have a pet rock! ...So they're _stupid."_ *I would buy this merch!!*

[@j.a.6110]

This says a lot about Shayne. He's such a cool, down-to-earth dude who takes the time to get to know everyone in the office.

[@cristianm4208]

I am digging the musical choices for each battlestation. Also, smosh needs to sell the masculine drink coasters that Shayne craves lol

[@videoextrodinare1]

It's actually so wholesome that Shayne can get so many right. Shows he pays attention to the people he works with. Love this series!

[@Tartanthorn]

Andre’s battle station is to die for. LOVE the aesthetic.

[@collinraley7578]

I dig these types of videos. Shayne just guessing based on how well he knows his coworkers.

[@Zikar]

Kimmy's funeral roast about her having no personality is becoming worryingly real.

[@alyssatheexcellent]

This is why Shayne has to host “Who Memed It?” because he would know too implicitly who is who.

[@jeresruir5512]

also in josh's setup, he has the hatchetfielf nighthawks flag, which is a giveaway that they're from starkid productions

[@emilymorgan1994]

finally. a game that shayne is *kinda* good at

[@Hase0XVX]

As a PC enthusiast, I love seeing these kinds of videos.

[@brandiwyn4568]

I've actually been zapped by one of those energy globes so Shane's great wasn't too off 😅

[@Quindroid]

Shayne: *see’s mechanical keyboard* “Okay, so they got a really nice keyboard”

[@Sir_Panda007]

I know theres only so many desk setups, but honestly I could watch hours of this type of content

[@xDarkmoonrising]

Shayne's not knowing that a Windows keyboard works with Mac is priceless. The windows key works as the command key and anything you can do with a Mac keyboard you can do with a windows keyboard on a Mac.

[@justinreiss3064]

Honestly love these videos because it shows just how much Shayne knows everyone there at SMOSH. Cool to see

[@luciojb]

We need more "Smosh member with psychology degree guesses who it is by some category" videos

[@zengrath]

I'm really impressed with how well Shane's detective reasoning is, he should be a detective in an alternative life.

[@pineapple_pup]

This was a super cool video because we got to learn a little bit about the crew and it showed just how much time Shayne has taken to get to know everyone in the office.

[@danieljohnson4338]

Short Chris Evans talking about plant biology posters and coasters😂

[@elitettelbach4247]

This was really fun! A lot of them have some sweet setups! And Shayne being able to figure out most of them or at least get close is really heartwarming to see.

[@talic-os5899]

I want shayne to look into his coworkers' purses and backpack contents and guess which ones are who's

[@XBombYT]

I’m convinced that Shayne is using his degree more in these “guessing” videos (“Who Slapped Me”, “Who’s Battle Station Is This?”, etc.) than he ever will outside of Smosh

[@CatteYokai]

Shayne really seems to pay attention tot the people around him, which is so nice!

[@Pear_chan]

Doubt Shayne will see this, but I built my first Gundam kit about a month ago. I don't know why, but it was such a satisfying experience. The quality of the kit and how clear and easy everything is to get done is amazing. Well worth a try and could definitely make for a nice chill stream.

[@cl7815]

I really liked that video and was always happy to see when Shayne got one right! Everyone’s battle stations are so impressive, I really liked Damien’s, Alex’s, Lieu’s and Spencer’s! Lmao at Spencer’s reflection 🤣🤣🤣

[@libbymorehouse4466]

I want fans to submit their work stations for Shayne to rank or give first impressions

[@chloeakame]

“He is hydrated. We all say that about josh”

[@bella-ms]

I love fans submitting their battle stations !! This video honestly was super cool ! Loved seeing everyone express their personalities in different ways at home ☺

[@sharkurricane]

I love lamp. -Shayne Topp, 2023

[@ALgamer47]

All shayne needs now to complete his mustache look is round glasses a tweed jacket with elbow patches and a bow tie

[@TheDoctorCog]

This was such a fun video! I love the term "battle stations." I'm going to use that for my work space!

[@brittlecharm]

The things Shayne knows about his coworkers is amazing on its own - I could struggle to come up with any of these for my own. I'm not even sure I want to know. But the laughter off camera makes me think these are common things everyone knows. Just to work at a place where this was a possible challenge would be so worthwhile.

[@IceArceus_]

I'd say my favorites were Selina's and Damien's. Little mix of what mine would look like I'd say

[@danielalicea5960]

Shayne utilizing his psychology degree by observing his co-workers' reactions to his monster stache

[@thottusthottusxoxo]

I love these kinds of videos I’d gladly watch any others you put out of shayne identifying things belonging to his coworkers it’s delightful watching how well he knows everyone plus I love getting to know them all a little more vicariously

[@htspencer9084]

One thing I've always respected is how Shayne always seems like a such an ideal coworker. He's professional, kind, funny, respectful and insightful. You could easily see how someone with his looks and legacy could easily be the stereotypical LA douchy fuckboi but he really works to better himself and stay humble. Can we do like a loan system where Shayne comes works in different workplaces so we all get at least one competent nice person to be around? 😂
