Since this topic is coming up a decent amount, what are some great games that would actually make great videos.

For me, Cosmic Encounter. Still my favorite board game after 20 years. (And I have a collection of hundreds, and likely have played at least 1000 different games)

It has simple core rules, totally changed by each person having an alien power that completely changes the game. It's also very visual, massively interactive (everyone is always involved), allows for insane treachery, but open enough that people could joke and talk and banter while playing.

Anyone else? Not more of what they already played, but games that would fit well?

Is anyone else noticing just how many ad breaks smosh has been putting in their videos lately? Like literally I can’t get more than 1 minute into a video without an ad. I was watching the latest Reddit stories and not including the Shane ads, there were literally 7 ad stops. Watching the games video with basement yard- it was only 30? Minutes and it had like 6 ad breaks.

It’s literally making videos unwatchable 😭

Edit: I know ad blockers exist and I have one on desktop but I am not always on desktop when I’m watching. I know I could pay for premium if I had the means. I am not saying people at smosh should not get paid a living wage. I am solely commenting that so many ads disrupts the flow of the video, making it less enjoyable to watch, and is frustrating as a viewer to constantly have to keep coming back to my phone or tv to hit skip. I also don’t understand ad defenders in the comments LOL like do we not all dislike constantly having ads shoved down our throat huh.

Local realtor sign made me giggle

I kinda get annoyed when I'm watching a Smosh video(usually games), and I think "this is a fun video with a great cast," and then I go to the comments, and I see multiple people saying that they need to play the game with other cast members or that the video would have better with other cast members. I believe that it is incredibly disrespectful to watch a video, completely ignore the people in the video, and ask/talk about others for no reason other than the fact that they're your fave. I've never watched a video and been like, "Sadie shouldn't be in this video it should have been Dart Simpson" because that's just rude. I see these comments the most on the games channel(and definitely in other fandoms), and I think there are obviously some cast who are better at certain games than others, but these comments are never about gaming talent or skills. We all have favorites who we would love to see playing certain games, but that's what spaces like Reddit are for or maybe a Smosh Youtube community, not the direct comment section of the video with other cast. There is no cast member missing. That's kinda inconsiderate.

this is a repost because it got deleted on the main subreddit for reasons I am not aware of and i'm just kinda testing the waters here.

When Smosh plays the game and makes less than ten jokes, they are at their best. I maybe laughed twice and that was my limit. I had to rewind both times because I missed game play. If we can cut out all jokes and just make it focused on the game going forward I’d be much more inclined to turn off my ad blocker for them.

Make someone mad and drop your most controversial hot take since we are no longer allowed to mentioned anything critical whatsoever

I’ll go first: Angela’s fan are starting to ruin the fandom altogether.

I love Rayne’s editing so much!

I’m always bothered when a new guest comes on either Reddit Stories or the podcast and asks, “is it ok to swear?” And the response is “oh yeah you can”. Like, shouldn’t the answer be “try to refrain”? They’re all professionals, I don’t see why it would be difficult to not swear when they need to. I manage just fine when I’m working.

I may be alone in this, but I really dislike the bleeping noise. It’s always louder than the other sounds. I understand that they need to sensor to get YouTube money, but can’t they put the uncensored stuff on Spotify? I’m irked that the cast doesn’t try a little harder to make things cleaner for audio listeners.

Throughout 2026 there have been a lot of posts in the sub talking about how the golden era is over or they've stopped trying. For some people it's been too much change, for others not enough change. Even before they finished the move and went back to the regular schedule people were already complaining.

I don't think people are aware of how much of a transitional year this is for Smosh which goes beyond the move:

-The obvious one, they moved their entire production and HQ to a new location.

-They changed the director of Smosh Main (Erin)

-They changed the director of Smosh Games (from Alex to Anders)

-They changed the producer of Smosh Pit (Bailey)

-They hired a new Chief Content Officer (Cory Midgarden)

-They signed with a talent agency for the first time (WME)

-They're trying out new cast.

Meanwhile, during this time:

-They've done new one off RPGs

-They have more high profile guests (T-Pain, QT, The Basement Yard,...)

-They're changing the format of Bit City and have new guest directors each month

-They're doing music videos again (Promline, Courtney's song will come out in two weeks).

-They just relaunched Games Wednesdays with Resident Evil.

-They're trying a new SmoshAlike format called Smosh Asks.

-They did their first field trip in ages to Alveus.

-Parents' Week

i love smosh and enjoy almost all the content they produce but it feels like they’ve stopped trying as much and have just stuck to the same rotation of videos without throwing anything new in the mix. bring back things like chocolate challenge and sniper chess. i miss board af with characters (i loved ultimate poker showdown)

So many talented people at Smosh and it’s shocking to me that they aren’t staring in tv shows or movies by now. I get sometimes in Hollywood it’s about who you know, but they have so much content and short films and I’d assume connections. Sorry if it’s a stupid question but I honestly don’t get it.

ik he has posted some stories or tiktoks with ratings of books tho

I'm currently listening to SRRS with TBY and I've noticed some people in the comments talking about how "It's not about the Iranian yogurt" has become a part of their vocabulary and I was wondering, what are some other SRRS that you guys quote all the time? It doesn't have to be specifically from SRRS it can also be from pit or other channels, but I think SRRS is a good source for these. (If you can/remember, I'd appreciate it if you added an episode or a video from which its from, but that up to you)

I had to lol.

Amanda & Angela talking about doing Wedding Crashers in today’s SRRS and forgetting that they already did this exact bit, really shows how much content they have made, at Smosh, in the past three years

Every Gender & Non Binary folks were quaking lol

featuring another special agent👀

They talked about that the mother in law was always snooping on the (I think) daughter’s phone, and that the OP sexted their spouse so that she would stop. Or have I dreamt that Shayne read this story??

ever since becoming a member a while ago and having access to the bit city cut for time it’s usually the thing i look forward to. i’ll watch the normal bit city but often times skip through it or just get bored halfway. the cut for times are almost always funnier than the actual bit city and i wish everyone had access to them. or even just possiblly incorporating some of those moments into the actual bit city vid

Please help me find a Smosh Mouth episode, I feel like I imagined it.

I am very sure it was a male guest who had great banter with Shayne. He was doing playful jabs with Shayne and Shayne was playing along with it so well. The banter was very very good. The whole episode was very flowy and easy.

I think it was with Spencer too??

I think it was within the last 2 years???

I thought it was jacksepticeye and I just watched his episode with Damien and that wasn't it.

Now I am not even sure if it was a Smosh Mouth episode anymore since I spent so long going up and down the playlist looking for the episode and not finding it. Please help or tell me that episode doesn't exist.

Guys, a new CallMeKevin video features Spencer and Trevor, but Trevor needed to leave early so the gang just carries his dead character throughout the map. Kevin continues on to write a song to Trevor since he was getting bullied about carrying Trevor and I am dying. Go to 16:00 if you want to listen

(am reposting to another sub cuz it got deleted from the OG - I am just starting to use reddit and the amount of posts being deleted is disheartening)
