most underrated character is Courtney's "mom who has to pick her kid up from weird situations"

the fact thar the kid is supposed to be ash ketchum (i think) makes it even funnier

Every time Damien is in the hot seat I get very concerned that he's going to choke bc he just kind of convulses with laughter and someday it will be the end of him
I'm also sometimes concerned about that...
It'll be a repeat of Shane at 18 months
He does!! He seems to laugh with his whole body since he cant laugh normally 😂
Ghostworkers (the sequel to Ghostmates)
I'm equally concerned for Shayne turning beet red not breathing to not laugh 😂
Damiens “weak and.... horny” is my favorite 🤣
it’s too underrated
weak and,,,, hhhhhhhorrnyyy
Saw it and went straight to the comments
I was expecting him to continue with "as of someone gently fapping, fapping at my chamber door"
I literally watched it 10 times already and it’s still so funny
Every time I watch another one of Smosh’s “try not to laugh” videos and Shayne doesn’t do his weary traveler bit, I die a little inside
well thats one point and no one can say this isnt true bc it is 100% true
I'm kinda relieved
You're my favorite pizza place....
Bro I agree!!
YESSSSSS
1:36 the "voicemail from my kid" is my absolute favourite reccuring joke of Courtneys. I hope she does it again!!!!!
After seeing Shayne's sound effects character, you need to get Weird Al.
I didn't know how badly I wanted this until now.

The tv one and the xbox one was absolutely the best one
1:34 and it is the best

She was in the zone this tntl

Why did I find it so impressive when Damien caught every single thing they threw at him in that last bit?

very impressive
