For reference, out of all internet personalities who have partaken in Pokémon Smash of Pass, Arin has by far one of, if not the highest Smash counts at 213 (23.72%, taking into account Gen IX hadn't come out yet.) while Dan had a notably low score, at 83. (9.24%) So the dynamic between Arin and Dan in this song is informed by their actual views on smashing Pokémon. Hence why they made a Pokémon Smash or Pass song 2 and a half years after the trend died. Since they had a unique angle to bring to the concept that no one else did, because everyone else did it solo, they thought it would make for a good spot on the album. (that and the fact that they weren't planning on making a 4th Starbomb album until well after it's prime.)
@@Insaneian it released about a month after Markiplier's video (the video that started the trend.) so they weren't really quick on the band wagon, but they weren't that late either. Unless you were talking about the follow-up they did specifically on Miltank Pokémon fusions about three months back. (You can just look up "Pokémon Infinite Fusion Calculator" to see what that's all about.) looking back, that was probably a promotional video, and this song was likely in production at the time of filming. (Or at least it was fresh in their minds.)
@@Insaneian If you're talking about the Miltank Pokémon Fusions video from three months back, then yes. Now that I think about it, that was likely a promotional video for this song. It was probably in production during filming, or at least fresh in their minds.
Adding to someone elses comment on how Arin has one of the highest smash counts of most content creators Every Pokemon in this song is one that he did in fact say smash to in the video, so they're not just randomly picked.
More commentary, less summary. I can see and hear what's happening, I don't need a recap. I appreciate you rewinding to make sure you get the full context of the lines.
Hey man, great video, I love this song alot and I'm glad its getting the love it deserves. Quick question too, whats going on with the audio cutting in and out when you continue the video? I'm no professional so I lack any kind of advice or tips, just wondered if it was just an unknown issue or something, I had to turn my volume on my headphones down a bit cause it was kinda irritating lol Not to subtract from the video itself obviously, keep it up, looking forward to more reactions in the future! :) -New Sub
@@devvnnphoenix1000 sadly, it's the program and way i capture the video itself for the reaction. I've tried messing with the audio settings since this one and it's SLIGHTLY improved, but it's always been inconsistent in it's occurrences, so it wasn't really something I could hear it doing until I got into the edit. Sorry about the crunchy audio.
I love finding out about new comedy music I hadn’t heard before through your channel as much as I love watching you react to my long time favorite artists! Also I recently started listening to Will Wood, and now I really want your reaction to ‘the main character’. I’m thinking maybe you’ve heard it before, but I hope not because it’s incredible and I want to see you crack up over it lol 😅
@@elbruces thought I mentioned it, it's an issue with my capture software. It's inconsistent when it does it and there's sadly not much I can do to correct it. Sorry about that.
@@LewDawn do you mean my mic audio or the capture on the music video? Because I've addressed the capture issue before (my previous reaction, in fact) but there's nothing wrong with the mic audio at all.

@@jonathanwest8415 nice! Thanks for the stats! I know they did the episode on Grumps a bit after the trend too, right?

@@jonathanwest8415 I meant their original Smash or Pass video series, wasn't that a few months after the trend?
@@Insaneian roughly 1 month. Not really early to the band wagon, but not necessarily late either.
"So stupid but so funny" is essentially half their music and we love it
Arin "Any Port in a Storm" Hanson.
"Really the fkn keys?"
"Yeah"
THEY'RE JUST A BUNCH OF KEYS!"
"*Smash*"
Has to be my favorite line 😂
Adding to someone elses comment on how Arin has one of the highest smash counts of most content creators
Every Pokemon in this song is one that he did in fact say smash to in the video, so they're not just randomly picked.
Thank you. I thought it was true, but I was too lazy to go back and figure it out.
Wait blud literally said smash to the keys, THEY'RE JUST SOME FUCKING KEYS!!!!!
@kingpenguin5825 Actually, I rewashed. Arin didn't, but Dan absolutely did.
@@kingpenguin5825 They got a mouth don’t they?
This is false. I don't remember everything about that episode, but I know for a fact they both passed on Charizard.
Starbomb dropping an album was NOT on my 2024 bingo card, but I am glad it is happening.
Wouldn’t blame you if you didn’t catch it but they did say on Twitter they were coming back a while ago
“YOU CANT SMASH DEAL!!!!” *S M A S H* 10:42
i was going to say the man follows the rule of "where there is a hole there is a goal". But some of the smashes at the end had no holes.
Nah, man. Some chess sets have hollow pieces.
You gotta think harder, not smarter.
you could form a hole from gluing the pieces together(?)
someone linked this video in the official GG discord which brought me here! I'll stay and browse!

This kind of reminds me of that "Nicolas Cage's agent" sketch College Humor did.

I’m glad I’m not into Pokémon and I’m glad I’m not INTO Pokémon. A very funny song!
@@stompingliger yeah, I know next to nothing about Pokemon but this still hilarious 😅
6:24 i could be wrong but the actor you were talking abt was probably Carl Weathers

@@sjdcreeper um. This is not a Weird Al song.
@@InsaneianI came here to tell you because this is your latest video
@@sjdcreeper tell me what? I already reacted to the new Weird Al song when it came out weeks ago.
@@Insaneiannew song called do I creep you out
@@sjdcreeper that's not a new song, that came out in 2006. Al just uploaded an HD version to his RUclips.
FYI, your audio is kinda poppy, not sure why.

it's crazy how your audio is fucked up on every single video considering you're supposed to be a music guy
