That's because the real "ick" is when someone else have one. Erin clearly think having a stuffed animal is an "ick", and that gives me an "ick". I hate that word so much.
@@Maxolotl124 yeah, it's called deadpan. It's a form of dry humor. Erin acts all contrarian just to fuck with people. Real fans have known that for years now
I think that's one of those things that's contextual. If she's serious, she's probably dated immature people and she doesn't want to risk dating emotionally stunted individuals. However, I bet if she really liked someone and the stuffed animal didn't appear sentimental, she would change her mind about it. Otherwise, that would be an insane deal-breaker, especially when having toys as an adult is considered to be a positive for her. She's probably thinking of a specific encounter that has caused her to develop this perspective.
@@dumsquirrel I agree with what you said, but it still bothers me a bit because she's not coming at it from a perspective of "I've just had too many experiences with people where that was a bad sign". The conversation initially happened because she took notice of the stuffed animals right away and started judging Anthony for having them. That's kinda what rubs me the wrong way about it - it's fine if she's not romantically compatible with men who have stuffed animals, but why does she have to be romantically compatible with anthony as a person to not judge him for something he does?
@@dumsquirrelFor me I get what you mean but deciding every person is a certain way based on one experience is so weird? For her maybe it was a bit maybe it wasn't but it's still not ok to judge everyone based on one thing especially because a lot of reasons for plushies are comfort and it feels very "older people/men can't have plushies" she wasn't like I've had weird people with plushies I've met so they're a red flag for me but either way you can't assume something over a very not alarming thing it's not a knife its a stuffed animal yk?

If there are stuffed animals on the bed, then it’s a no-go and she won’t deal with it. But, if there are children’s toys and fleshlights on the nightstand, then that’s perfectly fine? My head is practically spinning trying to comprehend Erin’s logic.

@@highdefinition450 She apparently wants somebody who uses it so often that it's just inconvenient to have to keep putting it away and taking it back out.
They seem very natural together now. I definitely noticed them getting a smoother flow and you can tell it's coming back much easier now.

Erin just painted a target on her back with that plushy and stuffed animal slander 💀 But fr, how you gonna say 2 or more stuffed animals by the bed is worse than displaying a fleshlight 😭
Yeah, because one of those things is a legit red flag and it's not the plushies 💀. Like, girl, if this is your selection criteria for picking partners, you're gonna end up with a lot of shitty guys and a good chunk of that is gonna be on you...
Can we just send Erin to the corner, for the rest of the flashback videos We want them to explore and remember this videos with fun and joy, not being judge by someone like, everything they show, cuz obviously they're not the same person
There's a difference between sex positive and saying "hide plushies when people come over but not the fleshlight". That sounds so wrong on several levels
sex positive is being okay with men buying fleshlights. sex positive is NOT leaving out sex toys when people visit you. that in itself is creepy and immature so we don’t even need that comparison. like that shit is so odd
@@isetmfriendsofire Somebody having a fleshlight out in the open when they knew they were bringing someone over and could have easily put it away is a red flag. It's not the HAVING of the fleshlight that's concerning, it's the kind of person they would have to be in order to just have it sitting out on a nightstand. It would imply they are either too lazy to put it away or use it too often to even bother putting it away in the first place, both of which are not good signs imo. That goes for any sex toy.
Her attitude towards plushies might seem like a little thing to people, but for me this runs really deep and I'd avoid this person at all cost. I can't see any excusable reason to judge someone for having plushies, it says a lot about the person.
Not to mention her tone tags comment a year or so ago!! Like I understand not knowing what they are but actively hating on them once they get explained to you??? You're being a bit ablest girlypop
I recently got back to watching smosh after Anthony came back, and I had said/thought that I really like almost every cast member but from the clips I’ve seen erin in, she always gave me big mean and judgmental energy vibes, seems like I wasn’t wrong lol Anyways the socks emails were insane lmaoooo true quality content right here, love your guys’ energy
To the people saying “Erin was joking” is missing the point lol the point is that: 1. The joke was not even funny and just awkward 2. She seemed WAAAAY too genuine 3.They most likely kept it in because of Anthony and Ians reactions to her comment.
Having stuffed animals, or in this case any plushie collection, isn't that different from other hobbies like sneaker collecting or buying celebrity parapanelia. We're all equally weird for having hobbies. Also, don't tell Erin that people sell Harry Styles plushies.
@@TheDiamondSlayer1 while I don't think any of it is that serious, I do feel like it's really not fair to say that she was sex positive - she did not say that it would be fine or good, she just confirmed that she would prefer it to stuffed animals. I don't think it counts as sex positive unless it's actual positivity, especially in response to a negative connotation she could have challenged. Also good to note it wasn't about just having a toy, which I agree is fine for any gender, but about having it out on your bed, which is kinda wild.
@@LAA_197 it's a meme from the Trolls movie. Basically, the deuteragonist "Branch" doesn't sing and is grumpy because Singing alerted monsters to the troll's location and his grandma was killed. However, the meme comes from how sudden the exclamation is made, and how much tonal whiplash is present when compared to the rest of the movie
Erin’s stuffed animal opinions being more controversial than Anthony’s email chain about selling his smelly sox to a German man is extremely smosh coded
that’s because the Smosh fans are aware that’s just anthony being an odd guy like he’s always been. there was no judgement or hate in the email. the smosh fandom is very accepting and other than insincere roasts being judgemental rly isn’t the vibe here
As a full grown adult (with an adult kid!) I have several stuffed animals!! My husband even has a cuddly octopus that I got him (we have one each, you can flip them to be angry faces, it’s a great way to communicate feeling grumpy without having to find words!). Cuddly toys/stuffed animals/teddies are great!! 💜
“just hide the stuffed animals when people are around” telling people to hide things that keep them happy and feel comfort….swear i’ve seen this in, oh idk, every toxic relationship ever (romantic and platonic)
What Erin doesn't know is that I collect stuffed animals as an adult because I really didn't get to be a child and my parents weren't able to get them for me growing up. My inner child is healed by all my stuffed friends and I'm not ashamed about it a single bit. 🤷♀
I grew up with friends that don't judge me, so I always felt no shame with my Pokemon plushies. Then I remember talking to a coworker about it, and when they had a look on their face like I was weird, I just had this immediate realization that they're not a cool person
Aww I'm glad to hear you had good friends who didn't judge you, I have tons of pokemon plushies too! I don't see plushies as a strictly childish thing and anyone who judges someone for having them even as an adult is a red flag to me
What is really annoying me about Erin’s plush speech is she is generalizing adults (mostly men) who have them as childish/weird. I don’t think she realizes that for most ADULTS it’s usually a form of comfort or a therapeutic practice for trauma, anxiety, etc.. Also, if a child is growing up without pets or any sort of emotional animal support in the home they often resort to, you guessed it, stuffed animals. So that stuffed toy that a man/person has on their bed and Erin decides to judge could unknowingly be the very thing that helped them cope/get through their childhood. A type of bond that is formed like that as a child is nearly impossible to let go of. There is nothing to be ashamed of for owning one and displaying it. She is wrong and it feels like she may be projecting about this topic. Idk, it’s just weird and her mindset on this is toxic in my eyes.
No I 100% agree it's often a coping method for those who experience trauma, myself included. The judgmental take Erin had is very narrow minded and tone deaf. She's only inputting her own view and making it sound absolute
I agree with that, but I'd like to add that some people pass stuffed animals through generations. I have a fox stuffed animal that I display in my room because it was originally my great great grandfather's, and it's been passed down through the generations. I love all my plushies, but I take special pride in that one. If someone came over, saw this prized family heirloom, and got annoyed and left, I can't even imagine how I'd respond. Like, it's so weird to take THAT much of an issue with it.
My partner got me a plushie when we first met, my parents got us the big version of the same plushie for our wedding day & every surgery I’ve had since my childhood I’ve gotten a plush, as well as every convention I’ve been at They’re just good memories, I’m 23 & a decade from now I’ll still have them
@@user-tq7uv9rs1e yeah. Her asking questions that may necessarily be not touched in by Ian and Anthony is nice, adding perspective. But lately it's been bummer takes.
Erin on the first line made me think “ahh what a contrarian they be goofy” but by the time we hit her saying just HIDE your stuffed animals- I’m like woah OK- Remember that Reddit episode where the annoying parter said their girlfriend was being “childish” for having video game decor- it’s that exact energy, u are the **shole Erin.
The editing on smosh videos lately has been really fun. I've notice an increase in them playing around with different things and adding in little comments and easter eggs more often. It really has an impact on the comedy in the video and I just wanted to make sure it gets a shout out.
I did, and he was. (We didn't work out but we're now best friends.) He would take his bear away to work with him as his job involved sleeping in a tent afterwards... and he would say "Home is where the bear is" when asked about it 😭 💕
Wanna know something really cute and sweet , turning non-stuffed animal guys into one. If I stay the night a lot at a partner’s home, I’ll buy a new stuffed animal like a shark or t-rex to leave there, since I can’t sleep well if I’m not holding a stuffed animal/pillow because it puts my shoulders in a much more comfortable position and now I can’t sleep any other way! Slowly I notice they get attached to it and they always get salty if I take it when we part ways 😂
@@randomboys1000”you’re weird for liking ____” is NOT a joke. “idk man that’s pretty odd” in an exaggerated voice would be the joke if anything and even *then*
Like I understand if she simply had personal preferences over the people she dated, but she had to say "like real grown adults", which is just judgemental. 😐
I saw my bf had a stuffed animal that he took away with him when he would have to work away and sleep in a tent... and I fell in love. (He would say "Home is where the bear is.") I loved that he wasnt embarrassed and then I pulled my bear out that I'd hidden away (from embarrassed). Stephen and George (our bears) had a few photo shoots together when we would go camping then and we'd put them in scenes to surprise the other when we came back to said tent 😂 💕
As a twenty seven year old low functioning autistic man who has recently acquired a Murder Drones plushie and finds it calms me down when I hold it, Erin can actually literally legitimately get bent.
being an adult doesnt mean you cant indulge in things that made you happy as a child 😅 as a kid who went though a rough childhood, my plushies were the only ones that gave me comfort. and as an adult recovering from trauma, my cat plush toy still fills me with a sense of warmth and security. stuffed toys are more therapeutic than they are harmful
It made me sad too at first, but it makes me happy that a lot of people in the comments feel strongly about it too. I have lots of stuffed animals; couldn't sleep without them. Don't let anyone make you feel bad for something like that. Those kinds of people aren't worth it.
The editing is so good. Paranormal easy bake oven is I think my top old Smosh video, so glad to see Anthony talking about how much he likes it too! Also, that sock email is wild
Lol Erin's judgement over stuffed animals though, completely missing huge communities of people living like that (like ND), so it's lame to hold judgement over what comforts someone. "as a grown adult" sounds closeminded
I like how you guys don’t react like other people and bring up things from past videos like the tacos and the easy bake oven. It’s not like your average reaction video, it’s a reaction video with a twist and that’s what I love about Smosh
@@Boatangawoman here. idk what erin is on tbh, no hate to her but there’s absolutely nothing wrong with having stuffed animals, i have a shit ton like is rly not that deep fr
saying she does like stuff animals is okay i guess people hate so many things in life... but her tone make it worse. if you coming to my house/room, why would you feel so entitled to actually believe that you have any right or saying whether i got stuffed toys or not on MY BED!?? go seek help please! karen!!! you just cant have that strong opinion about someone liking or wanting things that not bad or effecting others like something as innocents as liking to put stuffed animal on bed. she need to check her priorities check! have stuffed animal in bed picture less red flag then having flash light on bed. p.s and why she things kids allow to have fluffy stuffed toys and adult cant?? why the double standard? grow up does not mean you cant have anything similar when your kids tho. its stay with you mostly.
As a male adult with 3 stuffed animals two of them my mother gave me on Valentine’s Day and 2 Pokémon squish mellows, it made me very sad when she said that lol made me feel like a pansy
I clicked on this vid bc the Easy Bake oven skit is one of my fav old Smosh vids and wasn't aware of Erin's existence until I did so. After hearing her opinion that having a stuffed animal out in the open is worse than having a fleshlight in the same place, I think that that's all I can personally handle in regards to knowing of her.
@@rhettmitchelli HATE when people try to spew this bs. DEADPAN HUMOR IS NOT GOING ON AN EXTREMELY JUDGEMENTAL MONOLOGUE WITH THE STRAIGHTEST FACE AND SINCERE VOICE. if you cannot distinguish when somebody is joking and not that’s on you

Props to the editor. I usually listen while at work but the editor made the viewing experience so top notch, I waited and watched it with my full attention. And how the hell is no one talking about the sox guy!?! Erin and the stuffed animals were nothing compared to that craziness.
because the sox guy is just an odd funny story, Erin legitimately believes in that shit. the sox guy story is nothing compared to some of Amanda’s or Shayne’s or even Ian and Anthony’s stories. you should be used to those stories by now lol (sorry if that sounds mean it’s not intended to!!!)
31, with a partner for 10yrs, slept with plush at the start, still sleepin with the plushies. Nothing will stop me, they’re too comfortable and aesthetically pleasing (to me, who sleeps in Mario bedsheets)
flashback with smosh is quickly becoming my top favorite youtube series. its so funny, ian and anthony just have this great chemistry with each other and they are both so funny when in the same room. its almost like a bonus unscripted skit every week! thanks guys for this series, please keep doing them as long as possible!
I know everyone is (rightfully) talking about the plushie thing, but can we talk about “To see foods that look like poop!” and Ian and Anthony’s reaction lmao
Erin is CRAZY for saying having a stuffed animal is worse than a flesh light
Like most women she probably has similar things for herself so probably doesn't think much about it
While I don't agree with the stuffed animal stance, I can commend the sex positivity of not judging a fleshlight.
I mean there's really no issue having sex toys lmao. What's the difference with a girl having a dildo or something, and that
my fleshlights are all stuffed animals, Erin is messed up, let me love what I love

idk if that’s what makes a person happy i see no issue. me personally i’d never own a beanie baby but i’m my own person and so are they!
The fact that Erin would like a guy more if he had a fleshlight on his nightstand instead of a plushie is actually a bit disturbing
"I may be such a chronic masturbator that I don't even put the fleshlight away but hey, at least I'm not some child with stuff animals!"
I think she's exaggerating
@@errrerrr409she could've easily made her stance more obviously jokes even if she'd rather keep it dry though, but she didn't.
Yeah, because one of those things is a legit red flag and it's not the plushies 💀. Like, girl, if this is your selection criteria for picking partners, you're gonna end up with a lot of shitty guys and a good chunk of that is gonna be on you...
@@cheesecakelasagnaerin legitimately is insanely judgemental
I’m glad everyone agrees that Erin was being seriously weird about the stuffed animal thing
Can we just send Erin to the corner, for the rest of the flashback videos
We want them to explore and remember this videos with fun and joy, not being judge by someone like, everything they show, cuz obviously they're not the same person
💯
She’s literally directing them bro I don’t think that can happen
Ik erin is sex positive but who hurt you girl the standard of having stuff toys worsed than a flesh light out in the open is so twisted...
There's a difference between sex positive and saying "hide plushies when people come over but not the fleshlight". That sounds so wrong on several levels
@@alphakowaclipsyeah, like, hide your Fleshlight, nobody needs that to be the first thing they see when they walk in your room ;-;
sex positive is being okay with men buying fleshlights. sex positive is NOT leaving out sex toys when people visit you. that in itself is creepy and immature so we don’t even need that comparison. like that shit is so odd
Erin needs to reevaluate some stuff in her life if she’s dissing stuffed animals but a FLESHLIGHT is okay lol
She wasn't being serious lmao
@@randomboys1000 and you’re assuming my throw away comment on a smosh RUclips comment section is lol??
Why aren't both okay?
@@isetmfriendsofire Somebody having a fleshlight out in the open when they knew they were bringing someone over and could have easily put it away is a red flag. It's not the HAVING of the fleshlight that's concerning, it's the kind of person they would have to be in order to just have it sitting out on a nightstand. It would imply they are either too lazy to put it away or use it too often to even bother putting it away in the first place, both of which are not good signs imo. That goes for any sex toy.
@@frenchiefrey Yeah, I didn't exactly realize the context when I commented, whoops
You are correct
The editing in this video has me in tears (the sims menu caught me so off guard) 😭 also, Erin is actively public enemy number one.
18:26 they literally have the exact same laugh, that's adorable and im gonna cry
Honestly.. this isn’t the first time Erin’s said something that I’ve side eyed 😭😭
Not the first?
@@Right_Bumperthat’s what they said yeah
@@FHGryphonIRL Trying to figure out what the first one was
@@Right_Bumper she’s really judgmental and bitchy honestly man 😭
who even is erin
If someone makes you feel like you have to hide your stuffed animals, dont date them.
Her attitude towards plushies might seem like a little thing to people, but for me this runs really deep and I'd avoid this person at all cost. I can't see any excusable reason to judge someone for having plushies, it says a lot about the person.
@@user-tq7uv9rs1e i agree, thats literally the dumbest thing i have ever heard
@@user-tq7uv9rs1enot that deep. She's just very sarcastic with an unhinged sense of humor
@@randomboys1000 I don't think this is really her joking though? Like, it legit comes across like this is how she thinks
@@user-tq7uv9rs1emillions of random plushies sure, but do you share the same sentiment for like a stuffed animal someone has had since a kid?
Erin just ignited the neurodivergent community with rage, including myself. Who hurt you?
Not to mention her tone tags comment a year or so ago!! Like I understand not knowing what they are but actively hating on them once they get explained to you??? You're being a bit ablest girlypop
Erin needs to consider what trauma made her so traumatized by stuffed animals
I recently got back to watching smosh after Anthony came back, and I had said/thought that I really like almost every cast member but from the clips I’ve seen erin in, she always gave me big mean and judgmental energy vibes, seems like I wasn’t wrong lol
Anyways the socks emails were insane lmaoooo true quality content right here, love your guys’ energy
To the people saying “Erin was joking” is missing the point lol the point is that:
1. The joke was not even funny and just awkward
2. She seemed WAAAAY too genuine
3.They most likely kept it in because of Anthony and Ians reactions to her comment.
Erin is still a kid. It’s so funny. A flesh light on his nightstand is less creepy than a stuffed animal? No, you’re just being contrarian.
She's sex positive though lol, i don't agree with her stuff toy stance lmao but there's no problem with a guy having a sex toy 😂
Having stuffed animals, or in this case any plushie collection, isn't that different from other hobbies like sneaker collecting or buying celebrity parapanelia. We're all equally weird for having hobbies.
Also, don't tell Erin that people sell Harry Styles plushies.
@@surrcram plushie collection and stuffed animals in your bed are two different things
@@TheDiamondSlayer1 It bothers me you gotta hide the plush but failing to hide the sex toys is a pass and not a flag
@@TheDiamondSlayer1 while I don't think any of it is that serious, I do feel like it's really not fair to say that she was sex positive - she did not say that it would be fine or good, she just confirmed that she would prefer it to stuffed animals. I don't think it counts as sex positive unless it's actual positivity, especially in response to a negative connotation she could have challenged.
Also good to note it wasn't about just having a toy, which I agree is fine for any gender, but about having it out on your bed, which is kinda wild.
We should dig deeper into why Erin hates plushies
Plushies killed her grandma OKAY??
she is boring, simple !
I sense projection
@@pepperbytez8128how did plushies kill her grandma?
@@LAA_197 it's a meme from the Trolls movie. Basically, the deuteragonist "Branch" doesn't sing and is grumpy because Singing alerted monsters to the troll's location and his grandma was killed. However, the meme comes from how sudden the exclamation is made, and how much tonal whiplash is present when compared to the rest of the movie
i just love how it starts with Ian basically saying "yeah i'm selling my dirty socks for $300"
Erin’s stuffed animal opinions being more controversial than Anthony’s email chain about selling his smelly sox to a German man is extremely smosh coded
that’s because the Smosh fans are aware that’s just anthony being an odd guy like he’s always been. there was no judgement or hate in the email. the smosh fandom is very accepting and other than insincere roasts being judgemental rly isn’t the vibe here
If someone leaves you for having stuffed animals then you just dodged a bullet
Honestly, all of my stuffed animals were gifted from a friend or my sister and as a dude who barely gets gifts i would never throw them away
As a full grown adult (with an adult kid!) I have several stuffed animals!!
My husband even has a cuddly octopus that I got him (we have one each, you can flip them to be angry faces, it’s a great way to communicate feeling grumpy without having to find words!).
Cuddly toys/stuffed animals/teddies are great!! 💜
Anthony: “Have you ever had anything paranormal happen to you?”
Ian: *talks about the chocolate syrup*
“just hide the stuffed animals when people are around”
telling people to hide things that keep them happy and feel comfort….swear i’ve seen this in, oh idk, every toxic relationship ever (romantic and platonic)
What Erin doesn't know is that I collect stuffed animals as an adult because I really didn't get to be a child and my parents weren't able to get them for me growing up. My inner child is healed by all my stuffed friends and I'm not ashamed about it a single bit. 🤷♀
Me and my dozen stuffies are ready to roll up on Erin. 😂
Same. And as another Erin, she brings shame to the name.
Me and my collection of stuffies will join you 😂
She was only belittling men who had stuffed animals
@@Boatanga which still makes her stance icky and borderline wrong.
HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA YES
I grew up with friends that don't judge me, so I always felt no shame with my Pokemon plushies. Then I remember talking to a coworker about it, and when they had a look on their face like I was weird, I just had this immediate realization that they're not a cool person
Yup that is the right way to see it. Must be so sad to live a life without having the joy of plushies.
Aww I'm glad to hear you had good friends who didn't judge you, I have tons of pokemon plushies too! I don't see plushies as a strictly childish thing and anyone who judges someone for having them even as an adult is a red flag to me
bro got pokémon plushies WHICH ONES
@@miranosity Too many to list
Kortney’s editing is both so strange but also so hilarious like the easy bake oven calling Anthony senpai and blushing was so good.
I love the energy at the end. This is the vibe we missed. Two bros that legit be fucking around and having fun and shit
What is really annoying me about Erin’s plush speech is she is generalizing adults (mostly men) who have them as childish/weird. I don’t think she realizes that for most ADULTS it’s usually a form of comfort or a therapeutic practice for trauma, anxiety, etc.. Also, if a child is growing up without pets or any sort of emotional animal support in the home they often resort to, you guessed it, stuffed animals. So that stuffed toy that a man/person has on their bed and Erin decides to judge could unknowingly be the very thing that helped them cope/get through their childhood. A type of bond that is formed like that as a child is nearly impossible to let go of.
There is nothing to be ashamed of for owning one and displaying it. She is wrong and it feels like she may be projecting about this topic. Idk, it’s just weird and her mindset on this is toxic in my eyes.
I agree.
No I 100% agree it's often a coping method for those who experience trauma, myself included. The judgmental take Erin had is very narrow minded and tone deaf. She's only inputting her own view and making it sound absolute
I agree with that, but I'd like to add that some people pass stuffed animals through generations. I have a fox stuffed animal that I display in my room because it was originally my great great grandfather's, and it's been passed down through the generations. I love all my plushies, but I take special pride in that one. If someone came over, saw this prized family heirloom, and got annoyed and left, I can't even imagine how I'd respond. Like, it's so weird to take THAT much of an issue with it.
My partner got me a plushie when we first met, my parents got us the big version of the same plushie for our wedding day & every surgery I’ve had since my childhood I’ve gotten a plush, as well as every convention I’ve been at
They’re just good memories, I’m 23 & a decade from now I’ll still have them
Nah they are weird, that’s just a fact🤷♂️
Erin is definitely the most boomer gen z person I’ve ever seen
Erin hating on stuffed animals is really big "im miserable, so everyone else should be too" energy.
Her passive aggression and judgmental attitude in all these videos is annoying
@@thirtyred7091 It actually ruined the atmosphere for the video for me.
@@user-tq7uv9rs1ethe entire video lmao, more power to Erin. Y'all it's not that deep
@@Mysanthropiya You're saying that about somebody else's feelings. It's not that deep for you, but to me it is and that's okay to disagree on.
@@user-tq7uv9rs1e yeah. Her asking questions that may necessarily be not touched in by Ian and Anthony is nice, adding perspective. But lately it's been bummer takes.
Every girl i know (early 20s to mid 20s) have more than 5 stuffed animals in their bed Erin is the weird one
Erin on the first line made me think “ahh what a contrarian they be goofy” but by the time we hit her saying just HIDE your stuffed animals- I’m like woah OK- Remember that Reddit episode where the annoying parter said their girlfriend was being “childish” for having video game decor- it’s that exact energy, u are the **shole Erin.
The editing on smosh videos lately has been really fun. I've notice an increase in them playing around with different things and adding in little comments and easter eggs more often. It really has an impact on the comedy in the video and I just wanted to make sure it gets a shout out.
This was one of my favorite Smosh videos back in the day. Glad they’re talking about this video!
Same❤
I can’t believe the stuffed animal slander😂 if I was dating a man and he had one on his bed I’d think it was really cute and sweet
I did, and he was. (We didn't work out but we're now best friends.) He would take his bear away to work with him as his job involved sleeping in a tent afterwards... and he would say "Home is where the bear is" when asked about it 😭 💕
Her personality seems like the kind to date shitty dudes who treat her like garbage, not sweet and cute.
I have a friend who is a girl who was mad at me because I DIDNT have stuffed animals
Wanna know something really cute and sweet , turning non-stuffed animal guys into one. If I stay the night a lot at a partner’s home, I’ll buy a new stuffed animal like a shark or t-rex to leave there, since I can’t sleep well if I’m not holding a stuffed animal/pillow because it puts my shoulders in a much more comfortable position and now I can’t sleep any other way! Slowly I notice they get attached to it and they always get salty if I take it when we part ways 😂
exactly, if anything its a good sign, toxic guys usually dont have stuffed animals
Thank you, Kortney. The editing on this episode is wild in the best way and I can’t stop laughing.
Is Erin doing a character when she’s on camera?
She always comes off like the villain in a teen movie
LOL
no, randomly hateful people like her exist everywhere
Being so hard lined against stuffed animals is so much more of a red flag than stuffed animals could ever be,
Erin needs to make an apology video after this one
They should pin this comment 😂😂😂
It was just a bad joke
@@randomboys1000 How was it a joke? She seriously dislike people with stuffed animals
@@randomboys1000 then she should apologise for her dogshit joke
@@randomboys1000”you’re weird for liking ____” is NOT a joke. “idk man that’s pretty odd” in an exaggerated voice would be the joke if anything and even *then*
Erin’s attitude towards people having stuffed animals is not it…
Literally tho👀
most people have them for emotional support. For me I have 2 as a guy, because it's nice to just hold something fluffy in bed. It's calming.
It’s giving…”adults shouldnt have fun”
@@shinykat13exactly. It's giving "i'm more mature because i do adult stuff"
Like I understand if she simply had personal preferences over the people she dated, but she had to say "like real grown adults", which is just judgemental. 😐
I saw my bf had a stuffed animal that he took away with him when he would have to work away and sleep in a tent... and I fell in love. (He would say "Home is where the bear is.") I loved that he wasnt embarrassed and then I pulled my bear out that I'd hidden away (from embarrassed). Stephen and George (our bears) had a few photo shoots together when we would go camping then and we'd put them in scenes to surprise the other when we came back to said tent 😂 💕
That is so cute
Aww
On my way to get two stuffed animals to keep women like Erin away from me
As a twenty seven year old low functioning autistic man who has recently acquired a Murder Drones plushie and finds it calms me down when I hold it, Erin can actually literally legitimately get bent.
Erin is like a kid saying im a adult look at me im an adult! While demostrating how childish she is by thinking adults shouldnt have fun
accurate
1000%
Nah man having stuffed animals in your bed is childish as fuck
@@Jdjdjdujakzgsha Ok, and?
@@Jdjdjdujakzgshait’s just not, and you probably have some insecurities if you think so.
Erin deciding to become the villain over stuffed animals.
Erin really getting roasted (deserving) by the comments this time around
being an adult doesnt mean you cant indulge in things that made you happy as a child 😅 as a kid who went though a rough childhood, my plushies were the only ones that gave me comfort. and as an adult recovering from trauma, my cat plush toy still fills me with a sense of warmth and security. stuffed toys are more therapeutic than they are harmful
i love the editing style on this vid... appreciation to the editors
3:34 "Warning Erin becomes a vessel for the patriarchy" lol kortney
ERIN’S STUFFED ANIMAL SLANDER IS ACTUALLY KINDA PISSING ME OFF NGL. 😂
I was so sad hearing that from Erin. I sleep with 6 because they are more comfortable to sleep with and can more easily move than pillows
Don't be sad, I'm 19 and I have various Stuffed Animals, Pillows, and Blankets for comfort. Without them I physically can't sleep.
It made me sad too at first, but it makes me happy that a lot of people in the comments feel strongly about it too. I have lots of stuffed animals; couldn't sleep without them. Don't let anyone make you feel bad for something like that. Those kinds of people aren't worth it.
Nah homie I love my stuffed animals
The editing is so good. Paranormal easy bake oven is I think my top old Smosh video, so glad to see Anthony talking about how much he likes it too! Also, that sock email is wild
Fricking love seeing you both bouncing off each other again. WOOO! OG SMOSH!
Props to the editor of this video. Made the video 10x funnier, great job!
Damn Erin got everybody coming after her with this one. 😭
Lol Erin's judgement over stuffed animals though, completely missing huge communities of people living like that (like ND), so it's lame to hold judgement over what comforts someone. "as a grown adult" sounds closeminded
Me, a grown adult, looking at my extensive squishmallow collection as Erin declares grown adults with stuffed animals unacceptable.
I like how you guys don’t react like other people and bring up things from past videos like the tacos and the easy bake oven. It’s not like your average reaction video, it’s a reaction video with a twist and that’s what I love about Smosh
Erin saying she’d dump a guy for having stuffed animals is the most toxic thing I’ve ever heard a gen z woman say
Were you born yesterday or have you just never talked to a woman?
@@Boatangawoman here. idk what erin is on tbh, no hate to her but there’s absolutely nothing wrong with having stuffed animals, i have a shit ton like is rly not that deep fr
saying she does like stuff animals is okay i guess people hate so many things in life... but her tone make it worse. if you coming to my house/room, why would you feel so entitled to actually believe that you have any right or saying whether i got stuffed toys or not on MY BED!?? go seek help please! karen!!!
you just cant have that strong opinion about someone liking or wanting things that not bad or effecting others like something as innocents as liking to put stuffed animal on bed.
she need to check her priorities check! have stuffed animal in bed picture less red flag then having flash light on bed.
p.s and why she things kids allow to have fluffy stuffed toys and adult cant?? why the double standard? grow up does not mean you cant have anything similar when your kids tho. its stay with you mostly.

I clicked on this vid bc the Easy Bake oven skit is one of my fav old Smosh vids and wasn't aware of Erin's existence until I did so.
After hearing her opinion that having a stuffed animal out in the open is worse than having a fleshlight in the same place, I think that that's all I can personally handle in regards to knowing of her.

ikr, all the comments are talking about that one thing from the start lmao
because the sox guy is just an odd funny story, Erin legitimately believes in that shit. the sox guy story is nothing compared to some of Amanda’s or Shayne’s or even Ian and Anthony’s stories. you should be used to those stories by now lol (sorry if that sounds mean it’s not intended to!!!)
can't wait for erin's public apology tonight
Kortney is killing it with the editing! 😂🤘🏼
The speed up made them both sound like a pair of sober anti-manic Eric Cartmans.
Some of the on-screen text felt like too much, but that sims edit with the taco sauce was so good
