Here's a suggestion: the CollegeHumor collapse and resurrection as Dropout. Along with this story, it's one of the coolest things to happen to any channel.
I feel like the _only_ issue with this is that CH has a long ass history, I don't know if that would fit in a two minute trailer or not Other than that, that would be a banger idea
To anyone who might not watch Ian much or know him well- he really, really enjoyed this. He's very deadpan and whilst super chill, is not the most expressive dude in the world. You might think because he wasn't tearing up or cackling or jumping for joy he didn't love it, but it's clear he was blown away. Congrats guys
Exactly this. Ian doesn't really react super heavily. The hardest I have ever seen Ian react to anything was his own b*kkake Elmo in that one drawing game video
he’s super deadpan yea but you talking about the way he felt, literally saying he was “blown away”, when he’s a complete stranger to you is comical ngl
I love how this is both a trailer for Smosh but also a 28 minute video that ends up showcasing how cool Ian is, he's always been my fave and it's stuff like this that I'm like 'yeah, he'd be down for that' he just needed to be asked directly. Plus he got you guys the photo of Anthony, that was so nice of him.
So true, not to discount all the OG Smosh cast along the way, Ian carried Smosh long enough for all the amazing things to happen now. I’m so proud of witness this golden era of Smosh thanks to Ian.
He really is such an integral part. He's that parent that has to do all the boring everyday stuff so you get mad at him more than the fun one. But the one you realize has always been there and you're closer to and can trust. At least that is how it seems like for the cast.
The joke in the fandom is that Anthony is the dad who left to buy sigarettes and Ian is the single mother who worked two jobs and took care of the kids 😂. I think that Ian was great, it must have been hard. Anthony is being a good dad to Smosh too now though, all the cast is always on his channel. Smosh has two parents again
@@anitacho9023 No, they own the company and have the creative freedom to do whatever they want. They just have business-minded people who handle the business side of things.
@@anitacho9023 No they're not controlling them lol they have ownership of their brand. The CEO is a trusted person Anthony chose and was part of his team at his own company, and Ian and Anthony have both a great relashionship with her. She and the higher ups were probably just trying to keep the schedule in check.
Honestly, having two strangers showing up and be like «Ian, come with us to our hotel room, we made a video about you» and HE GOES ALONE?? That is TERRIFYING LOL
Sitcks:"we are professionals and this is our formal request and resume" Management: NO Sticks: "Ian! finally we found you all alone, we have been stalking you around this place for hours wanna come with us to a room?" Ian: Yeah, ok 😂😂😂
I feel bad that Smosh’s schedule is so busy because it would’ve been nice to see Ian and Anthony watch it in a proper theater or even have the entire cast of Smosh watch it. But with them being so busy I know it was just down to a matter of them having just a jam packed schedule and if they weren’t so busy then they would’ve been down to watch the trailer in a heartbeat.
fr. i feel like they film a LOT too, its practically too much to watch 😭😭 but ian and anthony dont appear in videos too often, so i have to wonder what theyre doing that wouldnt give them any time to watch the trailer. they cant have that much paperwork and management right?
@@kaitlynmorgan4613 management is a fulltime job on its own. Anthony also manages his own channel and interviews people. They also film. But Idk to be honest.
I don’t always love RUclipsrs who find their fame clout chasing larger RUclipsrs - HOWEVER, I feel like you bring so much talent and effort to each of these videos, and I love how the aim of the video is to surprise and gift a cinematic retelling of these RUclipsr’s journeys Keep up the great work!
Man, this made me tear up. Seeing the ups and downs of their channel as a kid was sad, and now that I'm in my 20s, it's like I'm reliving that with Ian. Good on you both for finally showing Smosh this!
My jaw DROPPED when you said that the "Shut Up" clip was put on the mat pat video and you didnt even know if you could get the trailer to them?! Man you guys are crazy! High Risk High Reward!
Shout out Diana (Physics Girl)! She’s an incredible science educator but has been battling an auto immune disease since getting Covid. She literally doesn’t get out of bed because she’s extremely fatigued 24/7.
It's called ME (myalgic encephalomyelitis) and it is actually NOT an autoimmune disease. Not much is known about the disorder because not much research has been done, but it affects about 3% of people who have had an acute infection of some sort. There is currently no cure.
Smosh schedule breaks my heart because it's so brutal and everyone is so booked and busy, I'm glad they finally got to show at least Ian the movie trailer
It’s not hard to schedule something even months out, they make it seem like they’re busy for the rest of their lives just to make ridiculous amounts of money.
@@modifyreality3807they schedule literally decided weeks before. Who will be in videos. It's not as easy to find someone to replace a person. All cast at Smosh very busy people.
Agreed. They have an actual story behind it. Must have been rough for Ian to watch it (along with it being impressive and cool and fun). That was his lifetime friendship breaking and his friends possibly loosing their jobs. With all of it hanging on his shoulders
This video shows off one of the most challenging aspects of these guys videos. They have to get in contact with massive celebrities for every trailer they make. I don't see people recognize how difficult that is very much.
The Smosh higher ups rn are actually quite chill and competent, when they said they couldn't do this collab they obviously did it because that would mean opening a precedent on scheduling collabs which they really had very limited time to do In a con, everything is different
@@victoriasunivers 31:20 - 32:58 I think he likes to see and support the company from an outsider looking in, see it as the company thriving without him. This is influenced because in the past he thought smosh needed him to thrive and survive, it wouldn't be smosh without Ian or Anthony, so that has pushed him to try and bring the best out of all the other members and let them have a bigger spotlight just so smosh is able to live without them. He recognizes that smosh now is an idea rather than a person or a group of people
Smosh did thrive without him for a very long time, so I think it has already proven to be able to stand on it's own, so personally, I think he just likes doing all the behind the scenes work along with pushing people to be their best more than being on camera when it comes to smosh. Basically, he just likes it better. I don't think it's to ensure the company can stand on it's own even if he says that, but maybe that is why and unlike him I think that goal has already been met
Plus, Ian and Anthony have this regular segment called Lunchtime with Smosh and it's just them, an interviewer and an extra guest from Smosh as well, and they're just talking about random stuff. It's actually quite entertaining to see the OG boys at a relaxed atmosphere like that. Ian's dark humor always shines through.
This was amazing, I'm so so glad you guys finally got to have your hard work recognised by the people who inspired it. I thought the trailer was incredible when you released it, and huge props for having so much perseverence and resilience. Ian is such a chill, sweet guy and I'm glad you got the opportunity to speak to him because I knew he'd be on board. Your channel is so cool and I'm so glad you're still putting all your talent into stuff you feel passionate about despite any obstacles. You really have such a gift for stuff like this and I can't wait for what you do next. So happy it worked out in the end! Hope you all feel super proud :)
Sorry for long comment but... For the people getting on smosh for declining. They were merging two companies, hiring new people, restructuring, changing the direction, reintroducing Anthony. (for example, lunchbreaks were likely taken at the office for the sole purpose of Anthony getting to know everyone). They were blowing up and had so many interview requests. I genuinely think it was mainly a timing thing, not a want thing. Having someone else in charge of filtering out requests is so normal (and needed) at a point like this. Them continuing to ask was the correct thing because timing and the right people have to line up for pulls like this. That's simply the logistics of it all. To smosh it likely looked like all the 100s of asks they get daily from random half-baked creators shooting their shot. The first 4 asks would simply have been filtered out along with spam. Those would not even get near Ian and Anthony. I think people severely underestimate the amount of "hey, wanna hear my mixtape" they get. They have people helping them sift through it to get to the good stuff. How would they know this was the good stuff? How did they try to sell the idea? We gotta remember that we are seeing this from their side, not the stuff smosh got in their inboxes. This is the kind of thing that has to be packaged and sold very well or it seems rather.... fishy and clout chasing. Which I don't think it is, but I could see it reading that way. Glad it worked out.
You guys documenting these stories represents what made RUclips so special in the first place. It was said in this video that “there are easier ways to ‘make it’ on RUclips”, but you are putting in the hard yards to ‘make it’ being true to the content you want to make and are passionate about. You’re unique and hard working and inspiring, just like the OG’s you make films for, keep it up!
27:30 "Something has to change internally before you can see growth externally" "You have to be brave enough to say to the world 'this is my crazy dream' and document it"
I always cry when I watch your RUclipsr movies, omg, it’s amazing how you capture not only the biggest moments of their careers but also the biggest moments of their lives. It’s so inspiring, seeing such high quality filming from a channel such as yourself. Great work ✨✨
@melicr92 I KNOWWW, they've talked about their history growing up so many different times, so it would be easy to capture all those special moments of their past!
I actually graduated last year from the same high school they attended, and I had teachers who specifically remember Anthony and Ian being in their classes!
Wow, Sticks, your cinematography has come such a long way! It’s incredible to see how your skills have evolved since I started watching. Keep up the amazing work-your creativity is truly inspiring!
Oh my gosh!!! I was there!!! That's so cool!!! You can see me in focus at 24:41!!! You guys make amazing content, and I can't wait to see what you make next!!! It was also amazing to meet you guys!!! Congrats on surprising Smosh!!! (Omg my hair's bad in this XD!!)
Honestly, I was wondering what youtuber they failed to suprise and I’m SHOCKED that it was smosh aka one of my only remaining childhood RUclipsrs that hasn’t been ruined or turned out to be creepy. Anyways, amazing work as always.😁😁
23:13... This is why I love you guys, got a vibe from the beginning you guys we're genuine good people, subscribed at 90k. After watching a few videos it was easy to see your guys' faith, and it's very inspirational. Faith over fear guys! ❤
i'm so surprised with the number of subscribers you guys have; you deserve so many more! the production quality is amazing! i hope you guys reach your goal! you guys are great 🫶❤️
WOW! I feel like I have failed. I cannot imagine pushing through as hard as you guys did to make this happen. We too often take rejection and then hold bitter feelings. The amount of guts that it took to go up to Smosh at VidSummit is huge! Way to go guys! Derral is an awesome guy....I never ignore a text from Derral Eves! :)
This was a great hook for smosh fans. These actors did a great job capturing Ian and Anthony’s spirit. Even with such a large focus on early smosh, as a newer smosh fan (I started watching while Anthony was gone) I love the feelings and stories displayed using Anthony’s I spent a day with.
I love that they hired people in the Defy email scene to look like members of the cast at the time. Such a nice touch. Plus Shayne going to get beers!! That was said in another interview with him and the boys :) great detail i love it a lot
Honestly, if this came out as an actual movie, I would absolutely go see it! The entire Smosh brand (including their Smosh Pit and Smosh Games channels) has been of my my favourites for as long as I can remember!
Markiplier trailer would go SO hard. He has lots of interviews and videos on his channel where he tells so many stories of his life from near death experiences shaping who he is, to goofy side stories. Not to mention having some of the most monumental moments in RUclips history.
Never been so excited about seeing a new episode from any creator on RUclips since MatPat !!! It's like seeing history being made !! BUT HEY, it's just trailer...a MOVIE TRAILER !!!
Right? Especially when it's things like your friendship falling apart and that time your company went under and it was on your shoulders to save all your friends from being jobless. Hardly a casual fun watch 😂
Loved it! Outstanding story telling like always! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 A bit disappointed Ian/Anthony couldn’t have their own private premier. Glad Ian had a chance to see it before anyone else! This made me realize how insanely busy and unreachable Smosh must be in real life 🤯 Inspiring how you guys didn’t give up!
Smosh is the true king of RUclips, they were Top 1 Most-Subbed Channel 5 times, they had the most viewed video, the first video to have 10M views, first video to have 1K Comments, first channel to have 10M Total views, first channel to reach 1K, 100K, 10M Subscribers They were 12 Years on Top 10 Most Subscribed YT Channels (2005-2017)
You guys are amazing! You didnt know if they were going to say yes but you still went out in faith. You guys are really talented and inspire me to make my own movies in the future. God bless you and your future projects!! ❤
One thing I've learned about you guys over the years, and what made me subscribe before you made a trailer for literally my 2 favorite youtubers ever, Mark Rober and MatPat, is you guys are determined, in this video when you said, we're calling it, I had to check on the length left because you guys just don't give up
These guys manege to get better and surprise us more in every video. I've been watching you guys since the beginning and me and all your fans are rooting for you to get there!
Well done paying so much attention to detail! Your compilation halfway through cutting between OG Smosh footage and the new filmed footage you shot was wonderful and perhaps better and more emotional than the trailer itself, the incorpartion of building soundtrack and emotional expectance, really well done and congratulations!! Now fly back to LA and do a Try Not To Laugh, they'll never get our Aussie humour
This type of storytelling gets me the same feelings as when I'm immersed to a movie in a theater. I felt the struggle, the sense of giving up and having hope again. Great job boys
As someone who has recently gone through a similar process (1.5 years, several favors from famous people, and many brick walls to ram my head into), I understand the pain. On the bright side, it all worked out in the end. If you are determined enough for long enough, you can achieve anything.
You guys are so talented in the way you make these trailers. I still cannot believe you don't reach everyone! Keep up the insane work, because its so cool and so worth it
I admire the dedication, you both are real ones and nobody (reasonable) would blame you two for completely giving up on showing the trailer to Smosh - I know for sure I would have given up after the second attempt... Well done, you two!
19:11 - Fun fact about Derral Eves is that he is also the executive producer of The Chosen series. It's a multi-season show about the life of Jesus, and the highest-crowd-funded TV series of all time.
So I had never seen your videos before the Smosh trailer. I am definitely so curious now to go back and check them out and I'm totally subscribing - especially to support fellow Aussies! I have to say, your Smosh trailer was amazing and it really is so impressive seeing how hard you guys worked to get it done and even moreso to get it seen by Ian. It was a hell of a journey and it seems to have paid off! Big congratulations guys!
ahh! I've been waiting for you guy's upload its been so long, honestly seeing you guy's perseverance to have the youtubers see what you made for them and the persistence in having Smosh see your work make me wanna see your own trailer someday. STICKS TRAILER AT 30 MIL? :D I BELIEVE YOU GUYS COULD DO IT
Props to these guys, their perseverance is insane. This was a journey that had to be told, both for smosh and sticks for making this work. You earned a sub
Bro I stopped at the second he said shooting at the start and all I heard was “This is us infiltrating a conversation at vip party, seconds away from shooting-“ 😭😭🙏🙏🙏
I hope you get a Dude Perfect trailer out there eventually. They’ve got a great story and I think they’d be game to come watch the premiere too It’d be a banger
@@chris-mancentral4053 Sticks have done so well with casting in previous videos, I think that won’t be the hardest part of the project if they do it. Every cast they’ve made so far has been perfect.
This is exactly how I imagined a proper Smosh movie should be as soon as they bought Smosh back. It's criminal this video and the trailer doesn't have more likes. Yall are great.
Here's a suggestion: the CollegeHumor collapse and resurrection as Dropout. Along with this story, it's one of the coolest things to happen to any channel.
BIG FACTS
I feel like the _only_ issue with this is that CH has a long ass history, I don't know if that would fit in a two minute trailer or not
Other than that, that would be a banger idea

So true, He is the parent who stayed!
you know during the interview when Anthony asked him to leave too and he said no, made me love him more.
Couldn’t agree with this more ❤

To smosh it likely looked like all the 100s of asks they get daily from random half-baked creators shooting their shot. The first 4 asks would simply have been filtered out along with spam. Those would not even get near Ian and Anthony. I think people severely underestimate the amount of "hey, wanna hear my mixtape" they get. They have people helping them sift through it to get to the good stuff. How would they know this was the good stuff? How did they try to sell the idea? We gotta remember that we are seeing this from their side, not the stuff smosh got in their inboxes. This is the kind of thing that has to be packaged and sold very well or it seems rather.... fishy and clout chasing. Which I don't think it is, but I could see it reading that way. Glad it worked out.
You guys documenting these stories represents what made RUclips so special in the first place. It was said in this video that “there are easier ways to ‘make it’ on RUclips”, but you are putting in the hard yards to ‘make it’ being true to the content you want to make and are passionate about. You’re unique and hard working and inspiring, just like the OG’s you make films for, keep it up!
Yeah ... TBH youtube needs to advertise Sticks for all causes
27:30 "Something has to change internally before you can see growth externally" "You have to be brave enough to say to the world 'this is my crazy dream' and document it"
Ian's face at 26:40 immediately told me they somehow got the perfect location
These guys deserve 5 mil his movies literally feel like I'm watching a real movie
Are they still trying to get the mr. beast movie even after all the evidence?
@@HolyNamedall good movies need some sort of conflict…
@@HolyNamed The mr. beast movie's gonna be a whole new meaning now
fr
@@HolyNamed hey, it could be the "the social network" of Mr. Beast instead
I always cry when I watch your RUclipsr movies, omg, it’s amazing how you capture not only the biggest moments of their careers but also the biggest moments of their lives. It’s so inspiring, seeing such high quality filming from a channel such as yourself. Great work ✨✨
0:42 Oh good, I’ve been wondering about this since the allegations
Help 😭😭
Yeah, it’s gonna a hell of a rollercoaster now
They could work the controversy’s into the film by the end of it,it could end with Mr beast getting cancelled.
@@Shotbyshot_officialThat’d be interesting, they go the route of MrBeast being the villain all along
Used to be a video FOR MrBeast now it's a video ABOUT MrBeast haha
PLEASE do a trailer for Rhett and Link next or when you guys can. That's would be awesome!
Yes! I was just saying that. Their story is so well documented as well.
PLEEEEASE
If there are any RUclipsrs most suited for a movie, it's them!
YESSSSSSSSSSSSS
I'VE BEEN BEGGING FOR THIS! They deserve it!
@melicr92 I KNOWWW, they've talked about their history growing up so many different times, so it would be easy to capture all those special moments of their past!
You guys got me tearing up, this is so well made 👏🏻
This made me think how much work Ian and Anthony do behind the scene. Jam packed for 3 months woah. So glad they got that vacation few months ago.
25:04 YO THATS ME IN THE REDBULL JACKET YOOOOO
on a real, it was awesome to meet yall at Vidsummit!
❤
Wow
I loved seeing you guys show glimpses of your faith. I really hope the two guys from Australia fulfill their dreams. God bless
PLEASE do a movie for CollegeHumor/Dropout. The story of how they almost shut down but got saved by Sam deserves all the praise in the world ❤
I actually graduated last year from the same high school they attended, and I had teachers who specifically remember Anthony and Ian being in their classes!
THIS IS EVERYTHING!!! i love how you guys didn’t let busy schedules get in the way, keep it up!
WOW. Again with another great one!
I'd love to see one like Dantdm next!
Me too.
YESSS WE NEED THIS
That would be perfect.
That’s a great idea
YES
Wow, Sticks, your cinematography has come such a long way! It’s incredible to see how your skills have evolved since I started watching. Keep up the amazing work-your creativity is truly inspiring!
Oh my gosh!!! I was there!!! That's so cool!!! You can see me in focus at 24:41!!! You guys make amazing content, and I can't wait to see what you make next!!! It was also amazing to meet you guys!!! Congrats on surprising Smosh!!! (Omg my hair's bad in this XD!!)
I was really hopeing to hear "TEEHEE" at the end idk why
Ryan Higa would be dope.
I would CRY
whenn
@@OJorEm real
YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO that would genuinely be FIRE
Honestly, I was wondering what youtuber they failed to suprise and I’m SHOCKED that it was smosh aka one of my only remaining childhood RUclipsrs that hasn’t been ruined or turned out to be creepy. Anyways, amazing work as always.😁😁
I'm not surprised. They are BUSY busy. And during the year bringing starting to own the company?
23:13...
This is why I love you guys, got a vibe from the beginning you guys we're genuine good people, subscribed at 90k. After watching a few videos it was easy to see your guys' faith, and it's very inspirational. Faith over fear guys! ❤
I noticed you said “about Mr. Beast”, rather than “for Mr. Beast”. Very interesting. Love your content, good luck!
Knowing him he's probably gonna sue the day after
ian is so babygirl his reaction is so sweet. imagine if they talked about this on like smosh mouth or something
i'm so surprised with the number of subscribers you guys have; you deserve so many more! the production quality is amazing! i hope you guys reach your goal! you guys are great 🫶❤️
Cool
2:38 "We can make it work"
The fact that ya'll didn't give up, even after all the fails, is absolutely crazy (good way)
WOW! I feel like I have failed. I cannot imagine pushing through as hard as you guys did to make this happen. We too often take rejection and then hold bitter feelings. The amount of guts that it took to go up to Smosh at VidSummit is huge! Way to go guys!
Derral is an awesome guy....I never ignore a text from Derral Eves! :)
This was a great hook for smosh fans. These actors did a great job capturing Ian and Anthony’s spirit. Even with such a large focus on early smosh, as a newer smosh fan (I started watching while Anthony was gone) I love the feelings and stories displayed using Anthony’s I spent a day with.
I love that they hired people in the Defy email scene to look like members of the cast at the time. Such a nice touch. Plus Shayne going to get beers!! That was said in another interview with him and the boys :) great detail i love it a lot
Honestly, if this came out as an actual movie, I would absolutely go see it! The entire Smosh brand (including their Smosh Pit and Smosh Games channels) has been of my my favourites for as long as I can remember!
Markiplier trailer would go SO hard. He has lots of interviews and videos on his channel where he tells so many stories of his life from near death experiences shaping who he is, to goofy side stories. Not to mention having some of the most monumental moments in RUclips history.
28:27 WE FIGURED IT OUT!!!! IT'S EMMA CHAMBERLIN NEXT!!!!!!!
Thats exactly what i was thinking
I thought it was David Hoffman or Binging with Babish
Who?
Ohhhhh. I thought it was good mythical morning or something.
Tell me why I thought it would be lofi girl 💀
Not me crying when our hero, Ian Hecox, showed up for the trailer.
Honestly I was cheering, I knew he'd be on board and he did NOT dissapoint in being the chill, "sure why not" guy we all know and love lol
@@RavenousMillenial I LOVE LOVE GHIMMMMMMM HE'S SO SWEET I CAN'T-
the movie about mr beast is gonna be more than what you probably expected now o_o
Well, in a way but anything can happened
Never been so excited about seeing a new episode from any creator on RUclips since MatPat !!! It's like seeing history being made !! BUT HEY, it's just trailer...a MOVIE TRAILER !!!
😂
To be fair must have been real weird to see a high quality movie trailer about your entire life contained within 4 minutes.
Right? Especially when it's things like your friendship falling apart and that time your company went under and it was on your shoulders to save all your friends from being jobless. Hardly a casual fun watch 😂
Loved it! Outstanding story telling like always! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 A bit disappointed Ian/Anthony couldn’t have their own private premier. Glad Ian had a chance to see it before anyone else! This made me realize how insanely busy and unreachable Smosh must be in real life 🤯 Inspiring how you guys didn’t give up!
this makes me want a rhett and link trailer
OMG YES
Fun Fact: The RUclips link at 8:07 leads to the April Fools video made by BBC called "Flying Penguins". Pretty neat easter egg!
Ty for this fact
Smosh is the true king of RUclips, they were Top 1 Most-Subbed Channel 5 times, they had the most viewed video, the first video to have 10M views, first video to have 1K Comments, first channel to have 10M Total views, first channel to reach 1K, 100K, 10M Subscribers
They were 12 Years on Top 10 Most Subscribed YT Channels (2005-2017)
Imma want to see bloopers and deleted scenes from ‘If Smosh Was Made Into A Movie’.
Patreon bro
The only mistake is that Smosh's Spanish Channel was done by a fan that joined the team, it wasn't a part of Smosh being acquired.
You guys are amazing! You didnt know if they were going to say yes but you still went out in faith. You guys are really talented and inspire me to make my own movies in the future.
God bless you and your future projects!! ❤
I love Smosh so much, really happy you guys got to finish this one!
Same
This legit brought tears to my eyes, the dedication and just smosh's story. You guys did incredible with this. wow
One thing I've learned about you guys over the years, and what made me subscribe before you made a trailer for literally my 2 favorite youtubers ever, Mark Rober and MatPat, is you guys are determined, in this video when you said, we're calling it, I had to check on the length left because you guys just don't give up
This guy's videos are so amazing they are literally movie producers now
definitely the most clutch ending in showing a youtuber their own movie, good on you guys!!
These guys manege to get better and surprise us more in every video.
I've been watching you guys since the beginning and me and all your fans are rooting for you to get there!
Well done paying so much attention to detail! Your compilation halfway through cutting between OG Smosh footage and the new filmed footage you shot was wonderful and perhaps better and more emotional than the trailer itself, the incorpartion of building soundtrack and emotional expectance, really well done and congratulations!!
Now fly back to LA and do a Try Not To Laugh, they'll never get our Aussie humour
This type of storytelling gets me the same feelings as when I'm immersed to a movie in a theater. I felt the struggle, the sense of giving up and having hope again. Great job boys
As someone who has seen smosh grow this is truly something special
As someone who has recently gone through a similar process (1.5 years, several favors from famous people, and many brick walls to ram my head into), I understand the pain. On the bright side, it all worked out in the end. If you are determined enough for long enough, you can achieve anything.
Sticks really went from 2k to almost 1 million, they definitely deserve 5 million
You guys are so talented in the way you make these trailers. I still cannot believe you don't reach everyone! Keep up the insane work, because its so cool and so worth it
Josh who played Ian did brilliant. The demeanor and even the voice... is eerily similar to Ian.
I admire the dedication, you both are real ones and nobody (reasonable) would blame you two for completely giving up on showing the trailer to Smosh - I know for sure I would have given up after the second attempt...
Well done, you two!
I love everything about this! It's so exciting watching you all be relentless in pursuing your dreams! I can't wait to see what else you share!
19:11 - Fun fact about Derral Eves is that he is also the executive producer of The Chosen series. It's a multi-season show about the life of Jesus, and the highest-crowd-funded TV series of all time.
Okay, I was literally going to look it up because he looks the same lol
So I had never seen your videos before the Smosh trailer. I am definitely so curious now to go back and check them out and I'm totally subscribing - especially to support fellow Aussies! I have to say, your Smosh trailer was amazing and it really is so impressive seeing how hard you guys worked to get it done and even moreso to get it seen by Ian. It was a hell of a journey and it seems to have paid off! Big congratulations guys!
ahh! I've been waiting for you guy's upload its been so long, honestly seeing you guy's perseverance to have the youtubers see what you made for them and the persistence in having Smosh see your work make me wanna see your own trailer someday.
STICKS TRAILER AT 30 MIL? :D I BELIEVE YOU GUYS COULD DO IT
these guys just do not give up, they make something amazing and they go to whatever lengths to make something happen
You guys have come so insanely far, not far from a million subs now! Well done, so proud 😭
Thanks for being just genuine real guys living your passion! No over hyper or annoying oushy vibes, just real chill dudes ♥️
As a Smosh fan, that was so cool. Love the way y’all go about storytelling
Props to these guys, their perseverance is insane. This was a journey that had to be told, both for smosh and sticks for making this work. You earned a sub
Bro I stopped at the second he said shooting at the start and all I heard was “This is us infiltrating a conversation at vip party, seconds away from shooting-“ 😭😭🙏🙏🙏
I hope you get a Dude Perfect trailer out there eventually.
They’ve got a great story and I think they’d be game to come watch the premiere too
It’d be a banger
Yeah
Exactly, though that would be hard cuz you would have to get a lot of actors to play all of the dudes
@@chris-mancentral4053 Sticks have done so well with casting in previous videos, I think that won’t be the hardest part of the project if they do it.
Every cast they’ve made so far has been perfect.
@@chris-mancentral4053 I think getting them to the premiere will be harder with their schedule
Dude Perfect deserves a movie
This is exactly how I imagined a proper Smosh movie should be as soon as they bought Smosh back. It's criminal this video and the trailer doesn't have more likes. Yall are great.
