Everyone: “Ian is hard to crack” Amanda: “check out my duck”

[@Beefnhammer]

I think it was also Ian who laughed at "lobster pizza"

[@wiggletonthewise2141]

The best way to make a comedian laugh is to be so exuberantly stupid that it defies all the rules of comedy and just hits them hard

[@jackwinchester4770]

Helppp I thought this said "hard on crack" for a second there and I was like "who's saying that?!!"

[@emojimerge3100]

Now that Shayne and Courtney are married they unlocked the jokes premium

[@ODEditz08]

Still don’t believe it. They’re gonna wait til next year’s April Fools and this will be the greatest/longest April Fools joke in history. This doesn’t feel real and I will not be fooled.

Ian being obsessed with big bird being on the Challenger is so funny to me

[@hernameispekka_Rebecca]

In this case it's a callback to Elyse iconic bit in the past. So they have a collective fascination!

[@jamiegdubois]

I’m not gonna lie, I find it morbidly fascinating too. There’s several videos on the internet about it.

[@NineteenInFrench]

Next thing you know Ian is recreating a Challenger disaster with only Big Bird in the shuttle.

[@Gladys10298]

The fact that Shayne kept encouraging Courtney saying, “No, it’s good!” When she said her bit was so bad.🤣♥️

[@CrazyMuggleGirl]

The bit WAS good, it’s just that the execution went a bit poorly 😂

[@unthinkabletimeless8607]

Shayne and Courtney using every opportunity to use the newly unlocked marriage jokes makes me so happy

[@tekias5536]

I think it's even more potent than that...they didn't milk any of the relationship period for jokes. Just 'we're friends and co-workers' right into 'we're married' territory.

[@aleixity]

props to elyse for asking if shaynes dad is alive and if they have an okay relationship before her “oKay SluGgeR” 😂

[@ruairim2283]

That was the joke... Do you think her joke was pretending to be his dad and saying 'okay sluger?' You didn't think the setup was part of it?? Kids shoudn't be on KZbin

[@cursedkaleidoscope]

with today's smosh games video it makes a lot more sense lol

[@boynatey44]

I think it was filmed after the smosh games video that just came out

[@EmilyC-17]

Elyse and James being guests on Smosh will always make me happy. They blend their humor so well with the cast.

[@PlyrMava.]

Their parts in the Batman video were amazing

[@MrAwesomeMatty]

I'm actually kinda curious if they're going to join Smosh. Like not as guests, but become members.

[@wearethedead722]

I really hope they become a part of Smosh now that Funhaus is no more.

[@mikeisfine]

I will never not be impressed by Shayne doing an animatronic impression. That episode when he does it and Olivia is stunned that nobody else is reacting lives rent free in my brain

So many good robot-Shayne moments. A recent fave is the TNTL theatre livestream indulging in Courtneys FNAF fixation!

I love that Shayne is being so encouraging when Courtney isn't feeling it. I notice he always tries keep her spirits up, its so sweet omg!

[@Bigfoot42794]

19:53 James' "Mr. Fist" character perfectly encapsulates the old-school Funhaus humor I miss: made even funnier by the sudden cut during Shayne's laughing.

[@fr4nkensk4nk]

@@GarrettPDGA what are you talking about? Elyse was the one that made the joke originally, how could she have done that without knowing about what happened with the Challenger?

[@GarrettPDGA]

@Penquinn14 Actually, I said it's a good bit. Appreciate you informing me of something I haven't seen. Came off a little callous, but hey, idk you, so maybe there's a reason you talk like that to people online.

[@Penquinn14]

@@GarrettPDGA you made it seem like Elyse being Canadian is a "problem" for a callback to a joke she originally had made. How is her being Canadian influencing the outcome of people finding that bit funny? You said she probably doesn't have the same knowledge as Ian even though they made the same joke about the same thing happening and your basis for that is solely because Elyse is from Canada. Why put her down over something like that when it's not even true? People were talking about how they enjoyed Ian's callback to a joke and you come in with "Yeah too bad Elyse is Canadian though, she probably would've gotten it if she wasn't" like that makes sense in that context
