to clarify: I title this "the OG smosh squad" because this IS the OG smosh *SQUAD*... obviously the OG smosh games crew was around before these five, and before that - Ian and Anthony. but "the smosh squad" was a name that was created by defy and the rest of the smosh team specifically for the five members of the pit channel (Shayne, Courtney, Noah, Keith, Olivia) So no, my title is not incorrect. This is the OG smosh *SQUAD* - I never said it was the OG smosh cast.
Man. The fact that this has to be clarified might be a testament to the fact that a lot of the people who watch Smosh now is probably not the same people that were watching Smosh when the Smosh Squad was "new". Ya'll remember the first ever Summer Games? That was when Sohinki and Lazercorn JUST left.
sure it’s not _technically_ incorrect but it _is_ misleading, it would’ve been really easy to just add “squad” to the end of it since that’s what it is
So weird that when Smosh was owned by a company with massive investors, HR didn’t exist, but now that it’s owned by literally two dudes it’s got HR. Defy sure had priorities, and people weren’t one.
@@moderattiDefy also pre-existed the #MeToo movement. For smosh itself, HR came around likely due to Ian’s “old fashioned” content creating techniques. He wouldn’t sexually harass anyone by any means, but many sketch RUclipsrs from his time went right up to line and what is and is not considered harassment.
And Courtney saying they would CONSTANTLY sexualize her in thumbnails against her wishes (in Anthonys video). Yeah. Absolutely scum ass company. They probably would be “cancelled” or whatever you wanna call it in today’s times if they continued to act like this. And honestly, rightfully so. To be clear I LOVE smosh so I’m not criticizing who they are as people at all, especially not who they are TODAY.
@@allisoncastle It's so heavily depressing that "today's times" started like 5 years ago. How long is known human history? 10,000 years? I hate this planet
I don’t think they were making them do anything, it’s just what they did. I’ve been part of improv groups where we do things at home to “practice” and just play games, and people are just sexual and want to push boundaries, specially when there’s attractive people
@@SharkAcademyI do think they pushed the video concepts and fostered an environment where pushing the lines was encouraged. Which when you have young people in a newish job very quickly can lead to people consenting to things they think they have to. Yes, it likely wasn't forced, but it also wasn't made sure it was enthusiastically consented to
@@SharkAcademy This is counter to what a lot of the cast has said many times. The friendships were real, but Defy more or less coerced them into a _lot_ of shit they were uncomfortable with, with little care of what they thought.
@@SharkAcademyActually I forget which video, but I remember someone in Smosh mentioning that Defy did not care what they did in the second channel and only cared about the main channel
I love how close and comfortable the OG cast is with one another (and really the whole cast and crew nowadays) but my god Defy was such a weird era. Like so much of this feels like Defy crossing so many lines in what they asked of their cast and it's a major ick. So glad they fizzled out like flat Cola, groddy.
yes! watching this was so fun but also reminded me of that "smosh assumptions" video (or was it courtney's interview?) that anthony made on his channel. in it courtney talks abt how she had to get the defy execs to back off on making her do weird shit after one instance that was way over the line. a bunch of these clips must have been the straws leading up to that camel's back breaking. i do miss this dynamic a lot between them with the very physically comfortable, tight-nit crew of 5, but today's smosh crew just seems a lot more safe. there are still so many funny and iconic moments being made today without the potential of anyone being influenced by a superior to do things they don't want to. and mostly, they've all outgrown this era. they were all young and rising actors who had never done personality based work! they definitely overcompensated for their lack of experience with gratuitious physicality (not that it wasn't fun and entertaining) this juxtaposition of the environment of new vs og smosh crew can definitely be seen with tntl becoming more of an improv show over the yrs as they gradually brought on more experienced cast and the og cast got their handlebars. in these earlier videos, they spent a lot of it doing random things for the sake of it (like keiths constant flashing when he couldn't think of a bit or the kissing for shock factor), which they dont need to fall back on as much these days because they've learned a lot since.
@@TSVN4MI i actively watched smosh from 2011 to 2020 across each channel and everything in this video is present both on and off the smosh sets this is how they actually act present day smosh is where they are now being told what they can and cant do

as a more recent subscriber, i literally cannot watch summer/winter games. i tried but it made me cringe so hard. idk how anyone over 16 can watch that and find it anything but uncomfortable and cringey. idk how they would replicate it now with people begging for a summer games revival..but hopefully it’d be nothing like it was before.

@@Triple_MMMthey weren't from the start. And in podcasts have talked about how hard it was to be forced to be friends and too close instead of having that build naturally.
Yeah there's definitely a difference between when they're doing the TNTLs and willingly choosing to make that their bit vs when someone asks them to do it on the other shows. Like just the mood and hesitation around it really makes it feel off and weirdly sexualized vs the TNTLs which are just unexpected and funny moments. Defy was really giving Dan Schnieder levels of wish fulfillment on camera but at least it was with adults ig lmao
I mean this so genuinely, this has showcased how all of them have grown up so much. It's crazy how much Court really does looks like she could be Ians long lost child in some of these earlier vids. Its dope to see the less bulky versions of Shayne and Damien, and the evolution of Noah.
I was not very active in the smosh community during the post Anthony defy era, so despite being a fan of smosh for a long time, a lot of this is so new to me.
I've been on a 'old vid' binge 2-3 years ago, failed mostly, since I've only watched TNTL. I have always thought it was a bit (because I've only been introduced to the new era). This made me both laugh and had me jaw dropping. Defy era is crazy.
I’m sorry but what is funny? All I see is constant sexual harassment. Especially since the women have come out and spoken that they felt uncomfortable and unsafe then.

im now expecting a quiet on set type documentary to come out someday abt the defy era because WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS im sure they're all good and its all in good fun but damn the TOLERATION OF DEFY IS INSANE
@@z_stuartoliverOne thing I would say about this situation is likely defy wasn’t primarily pushing it. I don’t how long you have been watching RUclips, but back when this stuff was filmed, this was the norm. The high majority of content creators created the weirdest shit ever. Prior to 2016, RUclips was really unhinged and the weirdest shit would be posted. I remember in 2012 seeing some random hentai at the end of a dragon ball z video. No reason it should have been there, but it was. RUclipsrs like Markiplier, DanTDM, SkyDoesMinecraft, and many others produced very raunchy and sexually charged content. Most of these videos have been taken down over the years.
@@sijdnsd6460 they've all said in different videos that Defy frequently made them do things they weren't comfortable with, Courtney in particular has said she had to fight back so hard against some things that fully crossed the line
They don’t really do this anymore, i think the point of this was really just to show how different it is nowadays. They’re super comfortable with each other now, but they show it differently and aren’t asked to touch each other all the time randomly
damn, they really grew up with their audience imo i remember watching this at like 14-15 & laughing ... now im like wtf was thiiis, their new stuff is so much funnier to me now

I’m 32 and have been here since 05 and yeah.. the OG Smosh will forever have my heart. 😂
That’s weird dude. The women have spoken about just how uncomfortable and unsafe they felt in that era.
7:50 little weird how their were people in the background going "what does it say shayne? sign it"
can we pls talk abt how courtney said they hooked up with someone in the ZIPPER RIDE at a CARNIVAL
I have to imagine she meant a different ride and "zipper ride" is just what came out on accident because I can't comprehend trying to hook up with someone in that monstrosity LOL
I had my first kiss on one.
"Hook up" meant to make out. Not seggs.
og smosh was way wild back then
this is killing me they were literally so crazy
i need them to react to this video holy shit
i will never understand how swiss milk factory didn't work
He was so close to bursting
He said he was too shocked to process/laugh
That one fmk clip feels so muck more intense now lol
"receive his noise" is just truly a WILD phrase
this reminds me and my friends from home. the best group of people. so open to one another. we've seen each other naked and it doesn't matter.
This is actually insane and the title wasn't lying 😭
im now expecting a quiet on set type documentary to come out someday abt the defy era because WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS
im sure they're all good and its all in good fun but damn the TOLERATION OF DEFY IS INSANE
i really deadass cant finish this its too much
@@z_stuartoliverOne thing I would say about this situation is likely defy wasn’t primarily pushing it. I don’t how long you have been watching RUclips, but back when this stuff was filmed, this was the norm.
The high majority of content creators created the weirdest shit ever. Prior to 2016, RUclips was really unhinged and the weirdest shit would be posted.
I remember in 2012 seeing some random hentai at the end of a dragon ball z video. No reason it should have been there, but it was.
RUclipsrs like Markiplier, DanTDM, SkyDoesMinecraft, and many others produced very raunchy and sexually charged content. Most of these videos have been taken down over the years.
@@sijdnsd6460 they've all said in different videos that Defy frequently made them do things they weren't comfortable with, Courtney in particular has said she had to fight back so hard against some things that fully crossed the line
That Olivia flash was insane lol
The theatre kid energy is off the charts
ngl im surprised many of these people are still around having to do this shit. they must really love this job
It's way more professional and comfortable now
They don’t really do this anymore, i think the point of this was really just to show how different it is nowadays. They’re super comfortable with each other now, but they show it differently and aren’t asked to touch each other all the time randomly
i mean 2 of them got married ☠️
DEAR LORD WHAT
Fair reaction
Courtney looks so baby faced omg. Literally all these children
It’s giving Dan producing Nickelodeon shows
I feel so bad for Court during the defy era
0:22 this is how Keith got cancer.
My memory of this era is they just flashed or groped each other every video
I love how all of them have seen each other naked at least once. 😂
Hard to believe I was there for all of this
You know....i think my brain repressed a lot of this wild seeing it all back to back sometimes literally.
damn, they really grew up with their audience imo
i remember watching this at like 14-15 & laughing ... now im like wtf was thiiis, their new stuff is so much funnier to me now
