They truly are doubling if not tripling down on Smoshalike/URL and I just don’t understand why?? Do more on Smosh main (including extra stuff for members) and get back to doing Smosh Games Wednesday videos, don’t make URL a weekly show and add a second Smoshalike video on Saturdays… especially when it’s clearly taking away from other things

I’d get it if it was super successful like when Reddit Stories turn into a weekly show on Pit but nothing on Smoshalike has been consistently successful for them to be doing that…

Olivia’s Reddit Stories Live - Boston IG Post

Thank you Olivia

There is something so special about having a picture with Shayne and Amanda’s Family.

A duo created by the podcast and they have now truly become super close friends

[hardlyokay]

That sad realization that we won’t be getting a Courtney IG dump from Boston or Montreal… Shayne going to need you lock in buddy or Amanda or Tommy need to. Smosh Live Show Tour shenanigans need to be documented and shared with the rest of us.

Smosh Reads Reddit Stories in Boston

[hardlyokay]

I do some times forget that the core audience Smosh now is mostly people who started watching in like 2022-23 and most of them did not go back very far back in the Smosh catalog of older videos and shows.

Not that you have to and there is so much to keep up to date on weekly now but when stuff like T-Pain popping into a video has so many of you are just straight up confused why he is there I do get a little bummed that Ghostmates isn’t watched by newer fans. I know older fans have shit on the Defy era and with mostly good reason but there is still tons of great videos and content from that time that you all should check out if you get a chance.

It’s great to see T-Pain back at Smosh and just another musician to maybe collab with on a song or two 👀. We know he can kill it on a comedy song

Guchi and Courtney on TIKTOK live right now!

These guys are so great. The energy of new cast members is incredible and honestly gives old Smosh Squad feel.

Mythical (GMM and Mythical Kitchen) putting their shows on Netflix is a massive piece of news today.

What Mythical does on the business side is why they continue to be so successful. Their show doesn’t pull in the crazy views any more, the Smosh Games channel is pulling in similar numbers to GMM at the moment and Pit is out performing GMM when GMM is 5 shows a week, but what they do with Mythical Society and other platforms of making money besides YouTube is why they are still so successful.

Smosh being under that umbrella (still technically are) I do think really did help them post Defy. There wasn’t a better place to rebuild.

I’m so interested to see what GMM and Last Meals looks like on a platform like Netflix. YouTube has kinda lost their way recently when it comes to streaming content. Ads have become a problem for a lot of people. So having bigger names like Mythical looking to other platforms to show their content might have YouTube singing a different tune. Especially when you already have something like Dropout or even the Try Guys come from your platform and leave to create a better place for their content already.

I say all of this because I’m looking at Smosh and they need to start thinking like a Mythical or even a Try Guys. YouTube can’t be your only source for your videos and I think they need to do more for their fans.

A couple run in!

Believe this is Shayne’s Cousins wedding

[standfaneditor]

Sorry for the potato quality video (this Reddit post is where I got it), but GUCHI IS BACK ON SMOSH!

I repeat, GUCHI IS BACK ON SMOSH!

And it seems Courtney T is also back? This is a WIN.

Keith! Fuck yeah! With his health wasn’t sure we’d see him back so soon and with the newer cast!

I’m a sucker for Bones and Birdie content that involves Shayne and Courtney.

Shayne playing and picking up Bones is my favorite

Shayne Topp’s Books of 2026

it’s time for Shelby Young on Smosh Mouth.

They could probably spend 90 minutes on just her voice acting career, she done that much already but I’d be so fascinated to hear about Shayne and Shelby’s nearly 20 years as friends. Both were teenagers acting in Hollywood and both have found completely different career paths from the ones the set out to do. While still being friends, that is not easy. You easily could just do an episode about friendships as we grow older.

We’ve heard Shayne’s side to Thora the Explorer but what about Shelby’s side who was the one who posted the image

All those parties Shelby has hosted over the years. From Halloween to friends giving to a Shrek themed party. Even something like Shayne’s 30th on that boat. Have to be some crazy stories from those times

Shelby is one of a very small group of people that could actually give us teenage Shayne stories and probably the only one who would have appear on Smosh Mouth

Shelby was one of four people that actually saw Shartney get married and she was his best women. Shayne and Courtney were also the only two people who saw Shelby get engaged. Just another story that would be cool to hear

This photo is from June ‘19 and it’s in Shayne’s apartment. Just sayin.

Shartney on Summer Vacation

My favorite two couples vacationing together once again

The Shelby and Shayne friendship needs to appear in a Smosh video. They’ve done so much together and have been friends for so long. I NEED the Smosh Mouth episode and a Duo You Know Your Duo at this point

[hardlyokay]

Potential new cast members are starting to show up

Not sure if everyone will be cast or they truly are just friends but this does feel like how we saw Angela, Arasha, Chanse, Daniel and Matt were introduced.

It was time, Smosh needs more voices and fresh eyes!

Going to get Courtney’s Summer Games Song

I’m still firmly in the camp that Promline didn’t need a music video and Tommy is still getting way too many opportunities but I’m happy that Courtney is getting that same opportunity for what I felt was a way better song for Smosh as a brand.
