is that what he was always like? I thought in his interview on Anthony's channel he sounds so uninterested like he doesn't wanna be there at all... no emotion in that dude's voice whereas Anthony is super happy to have him there
Honestly "so, you must be the new guy" directed at anthony is the greatest moment of tntl. It's a single line years in the making. Might not be the most laugh-out-loud hilarious, but best moment.
So proud of Ian for sticking with Smosh all this time and for Anthony finding his way home. You can tell they’re both very happy to be working together again with full ownership over their creation.
I love that Jackie always hits the newbies with that "have you ever been with a black woman?" Like obviously Anthony isn't new to Smosh, but she always does this in the tntl and it's fucking legendary lol Always works lol
I have the distinct feeling that Anthony may have been behind the scenes in a few videos. Though not actively involved with the video itself, but just watching. That might be why some of the cast would make the where’s Anthony jokes from time to time. But again, this is just pure speculation.
I love the instant change in Ian's demeanor as soon as they did one with Anthony, he seems 10x more invested and happier now compared to the last few episodes they've done of this
As others have said, he doesn't feel like the sad, divorced dad trying to have fun with the kids anymore. He feels and acts like the cool older brother now.
I feel like I'm having a fever dream seeing them back together...HUGE Thanks to Rhett and Link for keeping Smosh afloat and also, selling them their company back. It's come full circle!
fr. we can't forget about Rhett and Link being the internet dads who saved the day. real folks who really care about the entertainment world and the creators who make it happen. I think its so cool that they really kept smosh afloat and allowed it to come to this day
@@ishnapandit I was referring to the rest of the cast. They are sort of use to what Ian usually does on TNTL but now with him teamed up with Anthony they have 2006 RUclips to deal with
I feel like Ian and Anthony will just laugh at anything each other do because they haven't gotten to make each other laugh in so long and their chemistry is instant
I had this semi recently with a buddy of mine. We met in 4th grade and were best friends until about 20. Took time away and reconnected at 27. Bro, we make eachother laugh so hard cause that chemistry just never left
I missed seeing this Anthony 😭😭 I'm not a para social relationship type of guy but I was OBSESSED with Smosh as a kid. I watched every Ians channel video and it makes me so happy seeing this vibe back
Does anyone know what the tune was? I know he basically "laughed" his way to that tune but it's like some fanfare at the theatre when they announce the next act or something like that. I thought it was one of the movie studio fanfares, Universal/MGM Studios something like that but wan't any of them.
I just realised Shayne and Damien's friendship gives off the exact same vibe as Ian and Anthony's - the whole 'one person just has to breathe and the other one cracks up' kind of deal, plus both duos playing off of each other perfectly when involved in the same bit.
Anthony and Ian always had great chemistry, and I have not seen either of them have that kind of chemistry with anyone else, so I'm happy to see them together in videos again, it just feels right. These duos work 👍
@draisens it could, if interviewing was all he ever did... but old smosh came first, and thus its more of a renaissance in his comedy career instead. I def think you can do both and it not be cringe
Sometimes, if the bit that someone does is too much for RUclips, they'll cut that bit out of the video before posting it. It happened with Keith a lot in one of the videos.
@@DJNOTNICE4620I’m rewatching it now and I just noticed Ian and Shayne’s bits are missing from Damien’s turn lol. How bad (for RUclips) were they, I wonder?
This actually makes me sad haha, the fact that all this time Ian could have felt so depressed about Anthony leaving that as soon as he returned his mood changed that much
It's crazy how much the vibe changed. It's like Ian de-aged by 10 years. And everyone seems to be having a genuinely good time. I'm glad Mythical saved them and then allowed Ian and Anthony to buy the channel back.
I have been thinking Ian looks sooo much happier than a couple of years ago, obviously, because it was such a tense, terrifiying time for the whole team. I'm just so happy for them all
Had the same thought, a few years back I always said how it seemed like Ian’s personality got a lot sadder after Anthony left, and now we can see how much brighter he is after he’s back. Ian and Anthony really are the other half’s to eachother
@@ba-wn1xi Anthony left smosh a long time ago and smosh went through lots of changes In like the smosh renesaince Shane topp kinda emerged as the golden boy but from the perspective from the original smosh fans he's a new guy and kinda not someone they really recognize Anthony is coming in to a new era with a new younger generation of fans making him the new guy even if he kinda isn't?
genuinely admire Anthonys willingness to put himself in the spot right out the gate as he returns to smosh, knowing its gotta have some awkwardness considering how much his absense has been used as the basis for bits and jokes, and the weird mixture of being both the new guy and simultaneously one of the OGs, he did great!
"Found him" is the ultimate payoff to the where's anthony joke, love it. Loved some of the classic bit callbacks, they were perfect. Hoping Chanse's first on screen interaction with Anthony is asking who he is
When Ian and Anthony took their first turn together they got Jackie immediately, it's like they never split the comedic chemistry is still some of the best on the internet.😅
ians pride watching the cast he created make his co-founder and bestfriend laugh was so special. u can just see him watch with absolute love as the effort and love he put into smash comes full circle. from the man he started it all with to the people that helped him let it grow and get through all the hardships. im so glad anthony is back and so excited to see where this era goes.

@@mr.nobody6143I wouldn't consider the og Smosh squad new anymore lol. These Smosh "fans" coming back would have to have been gone for a while to not recognize them
If anything I think I like Anthony even more now. He is absolutely hilarious, more comfortable in his skin and the chemistry with Ian is undeniable. Welcome back guys. We've missed you.
I love how obvious it is that Anthony has been watching all the vids and how he knows the bits already. It makes the previous videos without him feel almost special, knowing he was also watching along and laughing too
All jokes aside, it does reassure me that when people talk about him bringing Smosh back to what it was, it doesn't mean purging all the faces we've come to love since. Let's be real, Angela at times is high school Ian and Anthony from another dimension
I think we need a full sketch where Chosen is showing Anthony the ropes. Anthony is desperately trying to explain that he started everything but soon learns the deep dark truths of new Smosh. Full training montage starts and Anthony soon becomes one of the chosen.
Didn’t help with all the constant “ Where’s Anthony” jokes that became popular for awhile. They were funny but ultimately ended in making me sad because he wasn’t there. The “ We found Anthony!” Though was so great and made all those earlier jokes both funny and worthwhile again.
i love how ian can always make anthony laugh and vice versa. their comedic sensibilities are so similar and thankfully we benefit from their shared sense of humor
Let's take a second to appreciate that Anthony didn't just come back to co manage the channel under The ownership of mythical but the fact that he came back and Smosh is it's own individual thing again , the fact that they bought it back is so precious and makes my heart full
Chanse, walking in the day after Anthony's return: "So... we've got a new guy? Cool, welcome, I can show you around. It's so nice not to be the only one who didn't know Smosh before! Don't worry, everyone here is mostly great. Have you met Ian yet?"
I love that this also feels like their way of making sure Anthony is caught back up on some of the shenanigans. Can't wait to see Anthony interact with Chanse, Angela, and Arasha
I want a Smosh Games video that is just Anthony, Arasha, Angela, Chanse, and Amanda. Anthony is just around the chaos and everyone else has no clue who he is XD
No idea who those people are 🤣🤣🤣. Haven't seen Smosh since Anthony left, in fact I saw it a little before he did it , and when he left I understood why. Hope this gets better, I love Ian and Anthony so much and Anthony's channel is amazing
The addition of the BTS bits is absolutely huge, please keep doing that. From the tidbits Alex says to things said between takes, it's really feeling even more like a family with that stuff added in to the video. 🎉
0:04 Wow, I can't believe Antony actually left Smosh for years to make this punchline work. Gotta appreciate the sheer amount of dedication Smosh has to making a funny gag.
I've watched a bit of old content but really only started watching Smosh after Anthony left. Still, him being back and him and Ian being able to own Smosh again just feels so right.
Feels so overdone. Maybe its just me, but I felt like Jackie flopped this round and dude really bring anything that got me to crack. A lot of the jokes were low hanging fruit 😕
16:00 I love how you can tell Tommy already knows the punchline that is coming with this joke. I have a feeling he's actually had this exact situation happen to him at a bar/club before, lol!
Yes, I1n is happy, that's a fact but I see the difference in Anthony’s eyes. He like accepted it but he may be not this enthusiastic about this. They aged after all
@@vlad_ruda4202 I think ian's happy cause hes got his best friend back and is no longer shouldering leading the company on his own not mention having complete control again. While anthony isn't super use to doing this kind of content anymore since his solo stuff was alot more serious but he seems to warm up to it abit more as this episode goes on.
@@Notaforumguy007 i hope anthony doesnt get stressed out from having two youtube channels. I really enjoy his content in the other channel and it would be sad for someone else to take over
@@vlad_ruda4202 dude, if Anthony wasn’t stoked or happy about this, he would’ve not came back. He made it 100% clear this would of never happened if he wasn’t fully in on it. He is not gonna put himself back into this channel if it’s not what he wants.
Oh yeah Anthony and Ian bought Smosh btw ruclips.net/video/DwsZggwPRKc/видео.html
Congrats to them on owning the channels!
Sweet
That's what youtube should be, independent channels doing things, now channels turned into businesses and being sold into corporations
I wonder why everyone is so excited... something must've happened at smosh... how strange... anyway, whatever it is, I bet they'll soon announce it
What?! Are you still friends with mythical tho?!
I love how Ian and Anthony both have those choppy laughs, but at different pitches. Truly comedic soulmates.

@@feesh9977 the normal SMOSH channel has been bought back by Ian and Anthony. They're really back
@@ActuallyHoudini their sacrifice will be remembered!
Honestly, when Anthony gets really comfortable around the newer members of the cast, this channel is gonna put out it's best content ever.
Anthony was around when some of the newer cast members were already here
The skits were fantastic without em there. Please dont make this weird yall
@@unoriginalchinwag8688you’re the one making it weird lol do you want the newer members to lose their jobs? they aren’t going anywhere. smosh pit and smosh gaming are staying the same
@@unoriginalchinwag8688No one’s making it weird - new energy and creativity will only bring good for the channels. No one was saying it wasn’t good before, it’s just being excited for an even better future for Smosh
@@mr.nobody6143I wouldn't consider the og Smosh squad new anymore lol. These Smosh "fans" coming back would have to have been gone for a while to not recognize them
The entire cast realizing what Anthony actually meant with "put some DNA on your lap" was a great twist
I don't get it, can you please explain?

If anything I think I like Anthony even more now. He is absolutely hilarious, more comfortable in his skin and the chemistry with Ian is undeniable. Welcome back guys. We've missed you.
hi
I love how obvious it is that Anthony has been watching all the vids and how he knows the bits already. It makes the previous videos without him feel almost special, knowing he was also watching along and laughing too
All jokes aside, it does reassure me that when people talk about him bringing Smosh back to what it was, it doesn't mean purging all the faces we've come to love since. Let's be real, Angela at times is high school Ian and Anthony from another dimension
@@castleoffiction96 I could see her being compared to that.
Anthony and Ian being on Smoth together makes me smile so much, legends have created this channel in 2005
old smoth is back!
Looks like I can't escape you
I LOVE SMOTH!!!😍😍😍
Smoth is so many people's childhood!
smoth is life!
The fact that Anthony already knew some of the new Smosh details and jokes is heartwarming
“And I…and I can DJ.” 🤣🤣🤣 the delivery was perfect 🤣🤣🤣
i cant stop smiling at anthony and ian’s chemistry, it never left
hey
It was always in their Biology
Because they became friends in Biology
Eh, I’d say it left to grab some milk for a few years, but came back the same
I think we need a full sketch where Chosen is showing Anthony the ropes. Anthony is desperately trying to explain that he started everything but soon learns the deep dark truths of new Smosh. Full training montage starts and Anthony soon becomes one of the chosen.
I'd love that
It's gotta be done in a classic sketch style too.
holy shit YES. shayne would rock that fucking sketch. love that guy
YESSSSSS
I was really hoping for a "whatever you do, don't ask where Anthony is"
The amount of Damien and Shayne duo bits this ep feels like they were wanting to step up against the incredible duo that reunited
Can't even come close to the OGs
And made fun of themselves instead
@@insomniactm7528 bro they are also a funny duo
@@insomniactm7528hello fellow insomniac
Oh please, let's not compare both duos. They're both amazing in their own rights.
I love Anthony's pure commitment to physical comedy.
I can’t wait for all the Damien & Shayne vs. Ian & Anthony challenges. New Smosh vs. Old Smosh.
YEEEEESSS
Yes!!!!!!!!
Add Amanda & Angela for Newer Smosh
@@adewilliam9047 Yes!
You can actually see the life return to Ian's eyes, he seemed so depressed when Anthony left glad to see that spark return
oh yeah! i didn't even realize!
I realized that too 😌
Didn’t help with all the constant “ Where’s Anthony” jokes that became popular for awhile. They were funny but ultimately ended in making me sad because he wasn’t there. The “ We found Anthony!” Though was so great and made all those earlier jokes both funny and worthwhile again.
I said the same!!
It's really nice because he gets to make his old best friend laugh again
So glad Anthony’s back to remind the world that he’s still an absolute gremlin
I read this and I'm like idk he's seems like he's been pretty chill so far, and then I saw him do his skit for Shane and I'm like what the fuck
@@juliannahivick4923wait what skit?

i love how ian can always make anthony laugh and vice versa. their comedic sensibilities are so similar and thankfully we benefit from their shared sense of humor
I can say that without a doubt the best thing about Anthony being back is that Ian makes waaaayyyyy more sense now 😂
Right? The other half of the crazy. It's just balance.
The fact that anthonys response almost broke jackie was hilarious
Anthony's " Not _yet_ " followed by Jackie's unicorn joke took me OUT 🦄🤣
hi
We need a friendly battle of the bromances: Ian and Anthony vs Shayne and Damien.
The internet NEEDS that.
I think Shayne and Damien wold stomp. They are literal BRO-mance.
Then it needs to turn into a food battle tournament style.
Bro Battle 2023
I like this setup but I think ill love the finished product😂😁
This is so cringe pls do we really need this? Lol
Let's take a second to appreciate that Anthony didn't just come back to co manage the channel under The ownership of mythical but the fact that he came back and Smosh is it's own individual thing again , the fact that they bought it back is so precious and makes my heart full
I'm actually weirdly sad that they're not part of mythical -- I hope we still get crossovers with the two casts and they can be neighbors still haha
@@avryantoinetteI mean, they would probably be doing skits with Rhett and Link
Thankful for Mythical. Wouldn’t be here without Rhett n Link
@@shayneletendre9451 for sure that's a given
@@avryantoinette i hope so too , it's always fun when they Collab
we NEED a Ian and Anthony vs Damien and Shayne episode now
omg yes please O_O
o fuck I'm goin insane
May the best *besties* win! 😂
YES
YESSS
12:29 Damien's joke was a fucking highlight for me "you're one step removed, youre fine" killed me
It’s so surreal seeing Anthony back again, especially with Damien, Shayne, Jackie and Tommy. Ian definitely looks like his soul has been restored.
Just wait until he has to work alongside Olivia, Angela, Amanda and Courtney. All chaotic weirdos who may be too crazy or just as crazy as he is.
@@dylancole1910 oh yeah dude, it will be a nice reunion with Courtney, but oh man, can’t wait for the others.
... Ian? Soul? In the same sentence, without the words "has a void instead of a" between them? You're not making any sense, friend.
Two things;
1. So happy to have Anthony back
2. You strut your stuff for Anthony, Jackie. Do it for women kind and make us proud
It’s so funny seeing Jackie’s heart skip a beat after Anthony said “Not Yet”
he has a long term girlfriend
@@sera6168 It’s a joke.
After seeing Anthony make basically only chill content through the years, I forgot how goofy he is🤣
I love how from the first moment ian and anthony do a bit together it becomes apparent that they are just having so much fun
I want there to be a sketch where Anthony sees only the post-leave cast and freaks out asking "WHO ARE YOU PPL"
"Post-leave cast" 😆
Brilliant!!!
“Who is this chanse guy”
I hope it's like a haunted house kind of thing
I was tryna remember if Damien was post-leave cast. I remember he came AROUND the same time but I don’t remember if it was just before or just after.
Poor Chanse must be so confused. Anthony needs the saxophone and the blue smosh funeral suit so everyone can take turns saying “who’s that guy?”
Chanse, walking in the day after Anthony's return: "So... we've got a new guy? Cool, welcome, I can show you around. It's so nice not to be the only one who didn't know Smosh before! Don't worry, everyone here is mostly great. Have you met Ian yet?"
I thought of this immediately after the announcement and got very concerned for him. Also loved the idea of him having zero clue who his new boss was.
I like the fact that Anthony actually made all of them laugh/spit out water. Just shows they were not ready for the wonderful crazy ideas in his head.
And Anthony did that with less talking, more to action. It was more impressive tbh.
9:57 “The double-decker twerk, we’re bringing it back!”
The Damien and Shayne pageant bit was actually incredible. You can just feel the positive energy in this video.
I re-watched the bit because of this comment and laughed harder on every re-watched. So many little details. 😂
The fact that we have Ian and Anthony as a team and also Shayne and Damien as a team this is going to be great
The Food Battle potential on this!!!
Or a Smosh Summer Games theme…
I love that this also feels like their way of making sure Anthony is caught back up on some of the shenanigans. Can't wait to see Anthony interact with Chanse, Angela, and Arasha
oh gawd the chaos! give meeeee ! [said in invader ZIM voice lol]
I want a video of Chanse meeting Anthony and thinking he's a new cast member and having no clue. 😂
O boy
I want a Smosh Games video that is just Anthony, Arasha, Angela, Chanse, and Amanda. Anthony is just around the chaos and everyone else has no clue who he is XD
No idea who those people are 🤣🤣🤣. Haven't seen Smosh since Anthony left, in fact I saw it a little before he did it , and when he left I understood why. Hope this gets better, I love Ian and Anthony so much and Anthony's channel is amazing
The addition of the BTS bits is absolutely huge, please keep doing that. From the tidbits Alex says to things said between takes, it's really feeling even more like a family with that stuff added in to the video. 🎉
0:04 Wow, I can't believe Antony actually left Smosh for years to make this punchline work. Gotta appreciate the sheer amount of dedication Smosh has to making a funny gag.
gotta commit to the bit
Crazy dedication to the bit
The fact that to some viewers this might be their first smosh video with anthony is mind blowing to me
I've watched a bit of old content but really only started watching Smosh after Anthony left. Still, him being back and him and Ian being able to own Smosh again just feels so right.
I also love that Anthony's coming back knowing that the cast and crew and fandom, while all have changed and grown, still love him.
It is for me firsthand.
Always wanted to see him on TNTL
@@fortynights1513 oh wow, really hope you enjoy the new content with Anthony!!
I feel like Ian’s whole soul has returned and I live for it
Loved Jackie's bit as Shayne's manager, worried that "the hot one" is now back 🤣🤣🤣
😂😂
I didn't even watch Smosh before Anthony left, but I can't help getting caught up in the excitement of him returning. Thanks Smosh, very cool.
Same,it’s like watching an old friend seamlessly integrate with new friends
@@samstribridexactly!
facts
Same here! I'm so excited for them!
Ive been watching since the start
Anthony with the "Not yet" is the BEST response I have seen to Jackie's bit yet 😂
Everytime there is a new guest in the seat and Jackie is in the cast, I’M JUST WAITING for the horny Jackie joke!
Feels so overdone. Maybe its just me, but I felt like Jackie flopped this round and dude really bring anything that got me to crack. A lot of the jokes were low hanging fruit 😕
@@alecm8232 damn don't watch then
@@alecm8232"Overdone" lol she's done the joke like twice before. Bet you really don't like Shayne then.
@@alecm8232bro has a problem with jackies iconic joke but not with the countless other repetitive jokes👁️👄👁️
ian and anthony are like the perfect example of friends who can spend x amount of time apart and act like it's been 5 minutes.
well someone sure didnt watch the new video on anthony padillas channel
@@Solbashio my brother in christ. it is a satire comment.
@@elizabethblack742you don’t know what satire is
@@OptAlexanderyall know how to kill a joke
@@Solbashiotbf, they said that they fell back into their old pattern like no time had passed
16:00 I love how you can tell Tommy already knows the punchline that is coming with this joke. I have a feeling he's actually had this exact situation happen to him at a bar/club before, lol!
As someone who has only recently been a smosh fan, I have never seen Ian this happy. Its refreshing to see honestly.
Yes, I1n is happy, that's a fact but I see the difference in Anthony’s eyes. He like accepted it but he may be not this enthusiastic about this. They aged after all
@@vlad_ruda4202 I think ian's happy cause hes got his best friend back and is no longer shouldering leading the company on his own not mention having complete control again. While anthony isn't super use to doing this kind of content anymore since his solo stuff was alot more serious but he seems to warm up to it abit more as this episode goes on.
@@Notaforumguy007 i hope anthony doesnt get stressed out from having two youtube channels. I really enjoy his content in the other channel and it would be sad for someone else to take over
@@vlad_ruda4202 dude, if Anthony wasn’t stoked or happy about this, he would’ve not came back. He made it 100% clear this would of never happened if he wasn’t fully in on it. He is not gonna put himself back into this channel if it’s not what he wants.
The deliverymen bit at 8:30 deserves a full blown sketch of its own, that was SO good
seriously!
omfg that bit was GREAT.
The image of them just standing there together looking at each other is enough to make me bust out laughing
I wanna know more
I forgot Anthony could be funny and I forgot Ian could be happy. I’m happy for both. Also Jackie is all of us.
LMFAOO
Ian looks like he's glowing, i'm genuinely so happy for him
It would be funny if they do a skit where everytime Anthony gets out of sight they start freaking out and asking where's Anthony
Deeemn hahahaha
No!!!! Do not reignite that trauma! We just got him back yesterday after like 10 years! Lmao 😢no
Jackie was damn lucky. Not a single Ian and Anthony bit in six years, and she got two just for her right off the bat.
Yea I can imagine as a fan Jackie was dead
Jackie being excited to be in an "old Smosh sandwich" is a mood.
😂😂😂😂
11:28 gotta love how anthony reprised his role as the mime from mime fail
"Mime win?!" Lol
@@kelvinhow1965 what anthony is doing is from the scene where the mime is stuck in a invisible wall on a house fire
The “Hi! We’re best friends” one made me smile more than I have in a while. Thanks Smosh!
Legendary intro
Cuz the rest was a let down....?
