No joke i got autism and if someone yelled at me about how my interests are stupid and i’m annoying for liking them i think i’d pass out 😭 that’s deranged bro
One of my friends once told me to stop talking about my interests cause no one wants to hear about it and it legit took me years to feel like I could be open about what I enjoy again. That shit really messes you up. I feel so bad for the woman.
I have ADHD (which means I hyperfixate AND feel easily rejected) and ever since someone said they didnt care about my interests Im second-guessing if people dislike me talking about my interests every time I talk about them
@@lagggoat7170 oh god same
@@lagggoat7170 I have the audhd overlap so i definitely feel u 💔💔
yeah this is how my family treated me growing up and now I have avoidant personality disorder bc I'm so terrified of being made fun of
shayne’s reaction being mad about OP mentioning that the girl is muslim and asian for no reason is hilarious LMFAO
He's definitely read enough of these to know that most of the time a guy's describing a girl, he's only pointing out the stuff he fetishizes about them. He caught it so early and was so upset to be right.
And well justified
I mean I'd be upset and weirded out too if a guy described his co-worker as "sweet, innocent, asian and muslim" for almost no reason besides that being the things he found attractive about her.
Yeah but what is a "New York Cafe"?
@@Machinu5apparently it’s actually a bar but because the woman is Muslim he didn’t want to say it explicitly
“Some people’s friends are creepy and it is up to those people to correct that behavior.” I was hiking with my girlfriends in the mountains and we were passing by a bench with three dudes of our age. One if them whistles. His friend turns over knocking this dudes beer out if his hand and snaps “we don’t do that!” I had a lot of appreciation and respect to that reaction.
That sounds like something out of a sitcom omg
icon behavior
@@KingOfGaymes it does, doesn’t it? 😄 I’d watch it. I hope someone will use it!
Oh, man. I've never been catcalled or harassed on a trail. That would ruin the hike for me. Sorry that happened.
@@TrueImmortality thanks. But it didn’t ruin our fun, thanks to the other guys. To be honest, it is also quite bizarre to get catcalled at a trail when you’re all red-faced, sweaty, unwashed hair… 😆
as an asian chick I appreciate Shayne's rage about how those details were completely irrelevant to the story! just... so weird when people do that, man
The fact that he didn’t even seem to know her exact ethnicity, just “Asian” like cmon dude
@@cait.tama1 very true! I thought the same. and then when he mentioned she made "Asian food," idk if it's just me but I thought that was a bit weird.
He really fell for the idea of her asainess like when he brought up how she was talking about how hard her life was and her being 'innocent' and quiet or something. Bro thought he was a main guy.
@@bippolhdt4730 yes, sounds like it! I've heard similar stories (+ personal experience unfortunately). I've even talked to someone who said he was looking for a "subservient" asian girl.
The Asian comment and the innocent comment together also ticked me off
As a half-korean, I'm all too familiar with men, especially white men, objectifying and fetishing Asian women as "innocent, submissive, and perfect housewives." That story about the guy ruining this Asian Muslim woman's marriage just reeks of a white man looking for an innocent, submissive Asian woman to control.
Absolutely disgusting, I hope she is living a better life now without him in it.
@@F13FAR0 Because it’s a fetish thing, creepy dudes like that will always include what they find attractive (especially with ethnicity/background) rather than acknowledge through their words that the woman they’re talking about is her own person. Him dumbing her down to things he’s got a kink for is just another way of getting that across :/
@gelatinouseaterofswirls8010 oh really? Do enlighten me about the culture of Islam and what's expected in Islam.
@@F13FAR0is he a Muslim himself? I seriously missed that point 😬
THIS
I loved Amanda saying "just walk out into traffic." The OP actually redeemed Satan and Satan is back in Heaven. The OP will now be the head of Hell when he gets there!
when amanda posted her video chronicling her time in smosh and saying "thank god noah was there because he made me look sane" i knew this was gonna be an iconic episode
Where is this video?
@@brittmariemays her channel! swell entertainment on youtube!
@@brittmariemayson her channel Swell Entertainment
@@brittmariemayson the swell entertainment channel!! :)
Well I guess I’m gonna go find this video next!
The affair story with the coworker: that guy isn't an asshole. He's THE CREEPIEST PERSON ALIVE
More like "The Devil in Disguise". OMG...and he didn't even made apologize for them and made things right.
Calling him an asshole is an insult to assholes
@@Baalek1 No, that's still too rich for him to be called an asshole
he’s a fuckin decepticon
The con story is exactly why SOOOOO many women can’t attend or wander around cons by themselves and why I feel like a buddy system should be in place for cons.
It's something I never thought about but was wondering where were her friends that entire time? Or her parents? I feel like that's bad parenting to allow your kid to go to a convention alone for that situation in particular.
@@Bduboff well we don’t have any context on her parents so I wouldn’t out right call them bad parents. I feel like it’d make more sense to blame her friends for letting her wonder around a con by herself.
@@trashotaku Fair. Even having someone else is intimidating for the creep.
But still presumably, those friends were 15 years old as well and must have had one of their parents around or some supervisor.
@@Bduboff well, we also aren’t given context for the ages of her friends so there could’ve been a 18 year old or the parents had enough trust (or they’re just bad parents) in their teen kids to go to an event like this unsupervised
I was thinking the same thing. That girl should not have been wandering alone, especially when she’s so young and at her first convention. It’s a big crowd and you can lose each other very easily, and unfortunately there are mega weirdos who pray on lone girls. It’s best to have someone with you to help get out of that situation. It was very irresponsible of her friends and (hopefully present) guardian to let her wander alone. Thank god for those furries.
30:34 The calling an Asian woman innocent and being enamored by the innocence and possibly having urge to "protect them" just screams infantilization, which is a common stereotyping that hurts the women in the long run.
I think you’re absolutely right. And what if she does something that isn’t so “innocent or pure” in his eyes? Super icky and seems dangerous.
Yeah this is an obsession, not love. If he were to ever actually date her, he would probably soon find out she is not at all what he imagined her to be in his head. That would probably start the cycle of abuse. This man is insane
Not to mention he need to convert to Islam if he not already, she is the first time on the west so I doubt she want to have relationship someone with different religions, even if she want, I doubt the parents allowed him to married her
@@amirazahirah9717I'm not too sure about Islam but I get the feeling that her parents aren't the very strict controlling type.
I mean I'm not sure of course but the daughter is going to bars and getting a divorce doesn't shout to me that her parents would put their foot down over marriage.
I feel like he's fetishizing her :( The combo of mentioning that she's a muslim woman for no reason and talking about "innocence" just has that kind of a bad vibe. So disgusting!
The girl in the cooking class had such a beautiful reason to join the cooking class: "My family never cooked and I always thought cooking was a stressful activity and I want to make it a fun activity" and now some middle-aged bully tried to humiliate her.
I feel so bad for her too because she's learning to cook to make it fun and this guy is making it stressful for her like...
Yes. And one of the reasons he said she couldn’t cook was an ingredient didn’t look fresh. Like she bought all the ingredients herself?
@@choreomaniac oh god I forgot about that. Like bro she's not supplying the ingredients for the food, the school/instructor are. If you have a problem with the ingredients being bad, talk to the instructor. I honestly think he intentionally took the class to find a beginner like her to bully her to feel like he's a superior person. Ugh fuck that guy
cooking shows like masterchef made people think they're fucking judges and can humiliate the others for not knowing how to cook
This is exactly what I was thinking the whole time! He did exactly what she was trying to avoid
the wedding one, it also robbed her of bridal shower, bachelorette party, tasting dinner, wedding expos, engagement party, engagement announcement. there is a lot of couple bonding and family bonding that occur throughout the different events.
Poor girl didn't even get to pick out a wedding dress!
literally if this had been a surprise engagement party it seems like it would have totally worked, or even a surprise JOKE wedding which doubled as an engagement party would have also worked but a real surprise wedding seems TERRIFYING
I was literally gunna comment ask is I completely spaced out cause I swear he was trying to skip the engagement ring the whole damn process
When Noah just started randomly naming famous dogs I lost it. I cant stop thinking of a gang comprised of Clifford, Scooby, Snoopy, and Blue defending a girl from a creeper.
What about bingo and bluey? I like to think that they’d be the ringleaders
@@Thepeanutcollector theyre the corleones, working in the background to make sure everything is up to scatch with "the family" (no one being a massive creeper to girls/women)
Noah's 'at least they're 19' joke about covid did NOT get enough love
100%! That was quick witted!
It took me a few seconds to get it 😂
I didn't fully get it until you repeated it
@@philmccraken😊😊
Oh my God, I just got it. That's brilliant
Can we appreciate how wholesome the coworker in the first story is? She brings her transformers to the office to show them around. Imagine her in the morning choosing what transformers to bring to work like "they will love this one!"
I grew up with both my brother and cousin who LOVED to talk to me about their special interests!! I find it so wholesome when people do it 😭😭 I worked as a camp counselor and had countless kids just talk and talk about video games or tv shows, it was great! Idunno even if I'm not interested in the material it's nice to see people happy to talk about their favorite things. Whatever the first guy was on I hope he learned and grew from that situation and I hope the coworker is having a great time with the replacement!
@@nellybeiin It feels the same as when people listen a favorite topic lol
My first thought was that she is autistic, I talk the exact same way about my interests.
Honestly, me too.
Ikr. I was so glad to hear the update where apparently everyone has been pretty cold to OP. Personally I'd never be able to look at someone the same way if they told somebody to "shut up" and that "nobody cares", for just talking about something that makes them happy! For me, even if it's something I personally don't care about at all, just seeing a friend/good coworker/etc be genuinely excited and happy is enough to make me enjoy the conversation. I don't have to give a shit about Transformers, if the person talking about it really loves them then there's still a lot of interesting/entertaining conversations you can have without being personally attached to the interest itself. Sounds like the OP is just a really boring and self-absorbed person if they're so completely unable to enjoy a conversation about someone else's interests, to the point of being angry and bothered by it. Even if you don't enjoy the conversations you can just, y'know, not participate?? Why go outta your way to yuck someone's yum
48:30 The fact this young girl got saved by a whole pack of fursuiters is surprisingly not uncommon. They've done a lot of good things like this before, which makes me happy to be a furry ☺️I would probably do the same myself if I frequented cons.
We love and appreciate peeps who do this at cons, nothing is more relieving than having someone step in and protect you, especially for someone like me who’s non-confrontational. It makes conventions and fandom communities feel safe💖
The comment section of Jenny Nicholson’s furry con video makes me think that there are lots of children who’ve been groomed by furries as well. I hope the furry community boots out all the groomers. I’m sure they’re in the minority
@@matrixiekitty2127 they really are the minority, and trust me as soon as they're outted as groomers they get immediately booted. There was a popufur a few years back who got outted to the point the fursuit of their fursona wasn't even allowed after they sold it. Shit was wild
@@pokelover02 meant to message you instead of the other commenter.
its awesome. also, i imagine a person in a full-on fursuit is pretty intimidating irl!!
1:08:30
Girl: "I always thought cooking was a stressful activity so I joined this class to make it a fun activity"
Guy: * insessantly bullies her *
Petition for Shayne, Noah and Amanda to return once they’re all read Kissing the Coronavirus to discuss
Agreed
All 3 variants
Smosh book club for ridiculous books
Oooohhh a Smosh Pit Book Club sounds like such a fun idea!
You can tell the average age of Smosh's audience has increased significantly bc we all flock to these videos like the Sunday paper and at least some of us genuinely want to watch them host a book club.
I love how the first story was literally “I bullied my autistic coworker” called her a nerd, WHILE running to Reddit for advice aka the home of the exact kind of person she hates
It's so funny that they really thought Reddit would have their back in this situation. I'm glad you also clocked her as autistic because it just warmed my heart to see a lot of her coworkers so eager to listen to her ramble on about her hyper-fixation.
I was looking for a comment talking about this. I was instantly like "she's autistic" and for this co-worker to tell her that. Definitely her worthy dare a say it was ablest
Yeah clocked that one too, as my hyper fixation is Mobile Suit Gundam
@@MarkusZM thats awesome, i have a friend who builds gundams and he let me help recently and it was so fun
I thought this immediately, let her talk about her special interest!! I bet she has some cool ass figurines
I lterally had to pause the video because I was laughing so hard when Shayne's rant starts at "THERE WAS NO...REASON", gets cut off with them saying how unnecessarily evil the person was, then continues, "THERE WAS NO REASON TO SAY SHE WAS ASIAN!"
Like I'm writing this through tears.
Yeah at first I thought he was saying there was no reason to break up her marriage and I was like duh and then I realized 😂😂😂
Yeah I thought he was talking about no reason to go out of your way to ruin a marriage, but he was mad that he said she was Asian and a Muslim for no reason. XD That was hilarious.
"Oh like if he loved her he'd have her join in on things?" DEAD! DECEASED! Noah's comments were KILLING ME with laughter this entire time but that is the one that did me in.
The muslim story was so sad cause adultery is such a big deal in their faith. She probably loss friends and family during that whole ordeal
Yeah I hope the husband sees the Reddit post
Yeah it is... we literally only have 7 major sins that are super serious and one of them is slandering a chaste woman because that's such a big deal. This would destroy me.
I just think there must be something else to it, surely they wouldn't get divorced solely about hearsay over an affair that didn't even happen.
Exactly. Idk why they're saying her faith is not relevant when it is extremely important context. That man who lied and spread rumors deeply insulted her honour and reputation and her religion
@@fraxinus_ash pretty sure in the faith, faithfulness is a core aspect of the religion. But pretty sure there has had to be something going on in the marriage beforehand for the husband to just divorce her over something someone else said without proof.
Or the husband is just not trusting.
“I’m caught up on the semantics of this cause I’m annoying” never heard of this woman before but she’s fucking iconic
u should totally give her videos a chance! they're awesome
Same tho. Trying to decipher why someone picked the words they did to form a message can be telling. There are many ways to (re-)tell a story or event, in one well-known communication model there are four sides(with different intentions) to every message and one of them is revealing information about yourself as a person based on the way you say something. In short: Annoying, but vaild.
You’d love her channel. If you want petty Swell her TanaCon playlist is EXCELLENT AND PETTY.
@@brandelynnefreleng7597omfg the TanaCon videos were so immaculate
she has a super fun channel lol
Literally at a convention I had an older man follow me and was on the phone with his friend describing exactly what I looked like, where I went, and how they could easily get ahold of me. And people wonder why we are afraid to be in places alone.
Holy shit that’s terrifying. Hope your okay now hun 💙
15:32 "My grandmother, she fell in love with Spanish flu. I can't go down this path" is the funniest sentence I've heard in a while
45:30 the way noah whispers "the whole pack!" absolutely KILLED me, such comedic timing for an uncomfortable story
And "rough!"
Noah was on FIRE with the "Clifford," and "Snoopy shitting on his face-" jokes man. I was dying
It sent me into orbit😂
“You’re not the asshole. Fake your death. Change your name. Have a fun new life.” 😂 quote of the episode!
Seriously - cemented Swell as an awesome guest they need to invite back ❤
So in every video she makes for a convention Swell does a limited edition t shirt with a standout quote on it. That quote would be the one used for this video if there was one. XD
I got a little teary-eyed when Noah started talking about talking to his girlfriend and having his eyes opened to what it's like to be a young women in the world. He shows so much maturity and willingness to listen, and he takes *no* bullshit from the toxic men in these scenarios. Thank you for existing, Noah
The con story gives me shivers. This boyfriend of hers sounds like he deminishes her independence, autonomy and dignity. You don't need to ask a partner for permission to travel unless, idk, pets or kids need to be looked after.
The money aspect makes me think there's a degree of fiancial control too... she didn't say it outright but making a plea in the comments in the hopes he "allows" her to go is setting off all kinds of alarms
It almost sounds like the boyfriend is trying to strip his blind girlfriend of any self control. He’s making her completely dependant on him and she needs to RUN
that’s what i was thinking. obviously we don’t know the entire story but i’m seriously worried about that girl bc that whole thread felt like textbook medical abuse
Found the thread, it’s from june, gfs account has another post where she says her cg (presumably the same guy) is hitting her so there’s more story for ya
@@papalopaz5111wft???? Omg are you serious?
EXACTLY!!!! Just hiding behind "love"
@@zuluesneya2109yeah, sad stuff, boyfriend seems to be neglecting her because all he wants to do is focus on school and “break into the industry”
for people who don’t truly understand the horrors of haunting adeline: it’s classified as a *psychological thriller*, NOT A ROMANCE in a bunch of countries
The way my 17yr old cousin recommended it to me........ like omg sweet baby child why are you reading something like that.
As it should be. Way to many people describe it as a lovely romance when it’s absolutely not. 😅
She's 17, not 7.@@tayla6302
@@tayla6302is it like joe Goldberg bad? Or worse 🥲
@@jenjoestar. I'm only a few chapters in so far, but I already feel like it's gonna make Joe Goldberg look like a sweetheart......
No episode this week speaks volumes of how much we appreciate Shayne reading us bedtime stories. This series is by far the best on the channel at the moment. Make next week 2 hours please 😂
I've been checking for it. Made peace with waiting but damn
Yes seriously!! two hours would be amazing lol
Please please please don't stop doing these😢
Ughhh I need another one, I'm addicted 😂
Funnily enough, I did listen to the newest episode of this series yesterday when I was curled around a heating pad cuz it was my time of the month. There’s just something really comforting about this series
Really appreciate Noah for sharing that at 47:53 because it’s something that I think some guys don’t realise women have to go through. I remember this one particular instance when I had just turned 21 and a few friends and I were kinda bar hopping but decided to stay longer at one to get a bite to eat, the bar had a second floor and I said I’d go up and grab us a table. It was then that this awkward kid approaches me and asks if he could sit with me and “talk”. I politely told him no and said the other seats belonged to my friends. I watched the kid (I’m calling him a kid because I swear he looked 16-17 tops) return to his table out of the corner of my eye and saw him talking to an older guy who I’m pretty sure was his dad. About 10 minutes later, the _dad_ comes up to my table and starts trying to hit on me and offering to buy me a drink. Thankfully, this is when my friends showed up and one of my guy friends (who’s pretty big and intimidating) said something to him; I’m not sure exactly what he said, but the guy kinda put his hands up in the air and started backing off. I asked him what he said and my best (guy) friend basically said, “That guy looked like a creep and it looked like you were really uncomfortable so I asked [other guy friend] to tell him to back off.” This then led into a conversation where my 3 guy friends are recommending my other female friend and me different methods of self defence (obviously, we knew some, but I’m physically disabled so it’s a lot harder for me; they were giving tips of things I could do to defend myself even with a disability) and making sure we both owned pepper spray. One friend even texted us a link to a type of taser that his girlfriend keeps on hand when she’s out and about alone. This sounds weird, but it was honestly a really sweet moment because it made me realize how much my friends cared about me as well as the other women in their lives.
Petition for Amanda to come back and introduce Noah and Shane to the deep dark pits of booktok/weird romance novels
Their reaction to "kissing the Coronavirus" made me laugh like a maniac. Oh you sweet summer children
Shayne is a romcom guy. I bet he'd dig some romance novels.
She just reads the books to them
YES I 100% AGREE😂❤
That would be a great video
It’s crazy how many men are raised thinking harassing women is ok. I’m 55m who has had to step in like the furries on multiple occasions. My daughter got her life threatened by a stalker in high school. It’s crazy ,upsetting and unacceptable.
Good to hear that more ppl like u exist
Assholes Exist, but they're not nearly as many as you think.
Sure, you hear stories about them and then you ask yourself "Man, why we never hear story about the Good Guys, or even normal ones."
Because those stories are boring. Then you got those "i'm glad that more people like u exist." Comments, when in Reality yeah people like OP exist, we're actually the vast majority by like a 95:5 split.
You just never hear shit about us under normal circumstances, because there is nothing anyone wants to hear. Other than apparently in this day and age we need to raise our hands on occasion just to verify that we're normal 🤣
BTW i'm refferring to real assholes like OP Mentioned, men who harassing women in any way or stalking.
not defending them in any way, but usually these people completely think they're in their right mind. they need to go to a mental hospital, for sure.
thank you for stepping in when someone needs help
1:11:40 the fact the instructor was not even mentioned once in this story is enough to tell you the dudes the asshole, cuz i'm sure the instructor was helping the girl when she messed up and helping her grow as a cook until he deemed her ready to work on the main dish, if they had this rule where you could pass on sides and whatever, that's probably there for the cooks who are still figuring stuff out which she clearly wasn't
There's not even anything to say she even messed up, she just wasn't at the standard of the OP.
My aunt and uncle had a surprise wedding. Their guests were all on a tour bus, thinking that they were all just coming to casual get together. No one at the ceremony was dressed up other than the wedding party. Their friends loved it. Then they bussed everyone to a local 'Castle' were everyone was given medieval costumes to wear for the reception, which was in a hall that was set up like an medieval feast.
Their wedding photo is INCREDIBLE. Everyone dressed up, on a cobblestone path in a castle. Doesn't get much better.
As someone with autism, that first story drives me crazy. If someone yelled at me to shut up about my interests I would probably cry
@@davidlionheart2438 ok but there's no need to yell at the person about it like a complete jerk 🙃
@liathelie8805 Of course not. Everyone should take it on themselves to try and vary what they talk about. A large part of my life is my horse. I don't talk to everyone about my horse, only if it comes up naturally i.e. I'm sorry I can't go I have to go feed. and things like that. Beyond that I don't speak to them about that part of my life. Work is weird because you don't often have common hobbies. Food is safe, family I'd safe, the occasional mention of hobbies is fine but anything constantly is annoying
I had this happen to me in high school as I had adhd. I had fixation on kpop and anime. It trigging and hurts but I found ppl better who will listen to my interest and I’ll do the same.
@@davidlionheart2438"Forced" as if you were being tied up and just couldn't exit the conversation. You can always spot a narcissist when they think other people are doing things to them rather than just being an adult and moving on to something else.
Exactly!!! Tbh the worst part is that from the sound of it, this person felt safe in their workplace before OP decided to be a jerk about it. Like, that degree of unbridled gushing about Thing You Like™ usually only happens in environments where it feels safe enough to stop pretending to not have that strong of an interest in something. Whether the Transformers fan coworker in that story is actually Autistic or not, being yelled at for feeling safe enough to be openly yourself in a space is just absolutely _CRUSHING._ There's a million and ten better ways to get someone to either stop talking to you or change to a different topic than OP did.
Nothing is better than when everyone talks about a story and they get really into it and then Shayne says "there's an update"
Omg totally, I get such an adrenaline rush from it
especially one with a giant cliffhanger ur just like "damn... WAIT WE GET TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS NEXT⁉️"
Really surprised the booktok verdict was asshole. They set boundaries going into it then the younger sister intentionally continued to violate those boundaries to make OP uncomfortable. Maybe I have too good a relationship with my siblings, I can't imagine considering that okay
Yes! OP was lending her sister some of her personal property under the condition that she would be mature about it. The sister reading out the sex scenes in front of her family is just insane, especially since the book Haunting Adeline is very graphic.
Plus the sister wasn't so much not embarrassed of reading smut, as she was going out of her way to make her sister uncomfortable and embarrass her. Plus bringing it up constantly and telling everyone kind of feels like she might actually be shaming her sister for reading smut
This exactly!
I agree, I was surprised at the verdict. The younger sister sounds obnoxious. What grown adult thinks reading sex scenes in books aloud TO THEIR PARENTS AND SIBLING is funny? Especially when they’ve been asked to stop!
If your looking for a replacement lawyer to review stories legal eagle would be FANTASTIC!

OHHH my goodness, just the mental image of Devon (LeagleEagle's real name) in this set and environment fills me with so much joy! It would be so adorably educational and hilarious and wholesome and fun! MAKE. IT. HAPPEN.
When Swell said she had, in fact, been to a Transformers convention I knew she was the perfect guest 😂
I think it was made to appear so. They picked special Reddit stories about conventions for her to shine.
@@mirofeyawhat?
@@mirofeya LMAO Amanda just has a BROAD knowledge base. No need to hand pick stories
@@mirofeyaI get what you're saying and you're right. It isn't one or the other: Amanda is an excellent fit for the show, made even better by the fact that Kiana & co. would've specifically catered this episode to their guest. That's just a testament to how well put-together this show is. Everybody involved did a great job.
Was not expecting to see ColossalKiwi in these replies
28:43 Story is so wild and while Noah and Amanda were pointing out the usage of "innocent" i just kept thinking how OP describes this woman as "Asian" and her "Asian Food" as if that doesn't encompass an entire hemisphere and dozens of cultures.
Yeah, but when people mention asian cuisine, it's understood what part of Asia they're referring to (Korea and Thailad and not Kazakhstan and Armenia)

Petition to have Noah on every one of these. I don't know that Shayne has ever laughed so much during reddit stories
i'd say he should cohost, but i feel like that would take away from some of the surprise that happens, like when shayne announces there's an update
I bloody well haven't laughed THAT hard and THAT much in one of these! Don't get me wrong I love em, but this ep was just GOLDEN!!!
Noah is LIGHTNING quick with the jokes. The gunny part of his brain is always a step ahead.
Noah is hilarious.
I'd rather hear someone ramble about their obsession with transformers than their obsession over themselves😂
Someone droning endlessly and incessantly about the same goddamned thing on and on and on is torture for anyone forced to be subjected to it.
@@davidlionheart2438that's the thing: he wasn't forced, he literally could have left the room, put on headphones, changed the topic when talking to her, etc., but he chose not to. He wanted something to be pissy about.
@eve5226 Sometimes you can't change the conversation and depending on the workplace they might be weird about headphones. i.e. you change it and they bring it right back.
@@NoThankUBeQuiethe still could have walked away
@@davidlionheart2438 he could’ve walked away Or excused himself or put some music on to distract himself. So many other choices
the commenter calling the demented coworker the "son of iblis" is so funny to me (iblis is the devil basically)
Noah’s one liners in this episode are absolute gold😂😂😂❤ 45:33 59:39
YES! also we cannot forget 1:11:41 !!! had me in TEARS😭
“Someone is talking bad about us, watch your back.” She was trying to warn him he shouldn’t trust his friends, she sounds like an incredible woman and I hope she never sees this Joe Goldberg wannabe again.
Furries are the fandom protectors 100%. They make sure creeps are kicked to the curb, they pay artists really well, all of the furries I've met have been super sweet. I will always have mad respect for them because they put their whole self into their art and are so welcoming and kind. You guys are awesome!
i LOVE furries. it’s not my thing personally, but i’m general i’ve had nothing but good experiences with them. and i hear about how strong the community is against awful stuff like creeps really cements that perspective. if i meet a bad person who’s also furry, i’ll just forget about that part of them lol
@@reckless_herbi'm not a furry myself but i LOVE the community. even on x (or twitter 🙄) where there's toxicity everywhere you look, the furry community is BY FAR the most loving and supportive. same goes with artists, especially furry artists. it's rare to ever see any negativity coming from them or the people in their replies.

My middle school best friend (we're adults now, I've known her a long time) isn't exactly a furry herself, but writes a webcomic as a hobby that, due to the nature of the comic, is mostly read by furries. Through her, I've had a little exposure to the furry community and they pretty much seem like a wholesome group of people. Here's to the furries!
I have heard from multiple artists that furries are the best customers for commissions. They are polite, accepting of boundaries and pay WELL. (Those suits aren't cheap)
the story about the person ruining their co-worker's marriage is genuinely the worst reddit story I've ever heard. I don't know if I'll ever truly trust a person after knowing people like that exist.
That surprise wedding situation is wild. Who thought that was a good idea😅
The fact that the idea was agreed to by SO MANY PEOPLE. Not one person said hmmm maybe just maybe we should use more than one braincell to think about what we're doing. Crazy
The last story is heartbreaking. She went to a cooking class because she wanted cooking to be fun and not scary and the dude made cooking more scary and less fun. And as Shayne said, there's an instructor there. That dude is awful.
No she could have going people sick or even killed. Mishandling food is not a joke
Found the guy
@@GojosBackHanddude, the instructor was literally there to make sure that didn't happen. 🙄
This series is like having circle time in elementary school where the teacher reads to us
Yes!!
And just like in elementary school, it’s the only thing getting me through the rest of the shit that happens that week
the whole comfy setup with the couch, pillows, and blankets really add to that vibe. in a few of my elementary school classes, we had bean bags that sometimes you could sit in (if you were lucky enough to claim it first lol) and pillows for reading time
@@duckified. yeah exactly!! It makes me nostalgic actually damn
There is something to be said about boundaries- if you're the recipient of constant info dumps and it's not an actual conversation that you're both invested in, it is okay to set a boundary AND BE NICE ABOUT IT. "Sorry I don't really have anything to say about this topic and I need to get back to work"
OMG I remember when Swell first came out. So happy to see her getting the recognition she deserves
September 23rd is Celebrate Bisexuality Day!
Something felt really gross about that one guy who like emphasized his co-worker was "an innocent calm asian woman". It felt a tad fetishy
“Bro she’s so waifish and demure” shit like that is always gonna make me raise an eyebrow
A TAD?!?
it was undoubtedly super fetishy and infantalizing. i hope she finds out and gets a restraining order
I love Amanda please bring her back. Her and Noah are an iconic duo
I honestly can’t upvote this enough. I NEED them to come back omg!
Perfect combo fr
Hi! I’m the anime expo girlfriend lmfao I wasn’t trying to ask the comments to convince him lol. I was actually able to reschedule to Friday and I was able to perform!
PLEASE invite Amanda again. Her energy is addicting
Man, Noah really killed it with his jokes in this one. I couldn't stop laughing.
Yeah Noah was on fire this episode 😂
His joke of “you just put it in your pocket and do jumping jacks” was PURE GOLD!!
He made me laugh the most in this video and that's no small feat 😁
ok i'm not that far in and all he has done is repeat unicorn and its falling flat each time. You better not be lying to me
@@morerobotwarscontent1476u gotta update us when you’ve finished the vid🙏
Shane shaving his beard off for the sponsor segment and then forcibly regrowing it in time for the next reddit story was truly inspiring.
He's a truly talented host.
his mustache jumpscared me
Why didn't they post yesterday??
“Oh you mean like if he loved her, he’d have her join in on things?” God sometimes I forget just how funny Noah is. I love him!
“That was rough/ruff” “You didn’t mean to do that!” “…I didn’t. I didn’t mean to do that” had me CRYING with laughter
My response to making unintentional puns is always, "I didn't mean to do that, but I'll take it!" I was really hoping Shayne would follow it up with a "barking up the wrong tree" comment 😂
I didn’t get that 😭
And he blushed!
Ok but Haunting Adeline is NOT a romance book. It's not even a dark romance. It's about a stalker who consistently rapes a woman and it mentions human trafficking and torture heavily...

Talk about leveling up
She conquered the extraterrestrials, now she’ll conquer the internet.
haha what
@@alexandercheskis She talks about it in this video mate
The whole "We can't afford another wedding" is manipulative AF. She needs to get out. That update was horrifying.
How is it manipulative when it's after the fact? The opportunity to use the surprise wedding is past, there is no way anyone can interpret that as an attempt to emotionally manipulate her to TRAVEL BACK IN TIME to go through with it unless you're the sort of person who sees it everywhere because you're the one doing it.
He was stating a fact - "I spent the money, it will take a couple of years to save up for another one"
I mean, it's not as if money is an actually quantifiable thing that we use numbers and units to keep track of or anything... Apparently, simply mentioning that money exists is emotionally manipulative now 🤦♀
@@CrashSable Because he made a unilateral decision about the wedding, using their joint wedding fund to throw the surprise wedding.That is a red flag for a lot of people.
@@CrashSable well, he mentioned the money WAY after the fact and made the decision completely on his own. When she reacted negatively to it, he wasn't responsive and open to thinking about why what he did garnered a negative response.
If my partner did that with me, I'd be anxious as fuck having been surprised with a random wedding with no prior mental and emotional prep. How is that fun?
@@baambooob i agree he was a stupid a-hole, but i dont think saying "im sorry but we cant afford another one for a while" afterwards. what wouldve been manipulative is if during the event, he tried to guilt her to stay like "well i spent a lot of money on this and if we dont do it today we'll have to wait years, so you should stay for my sake." its different than objectively saying "we cant afford another one any time soon"
@@kaitlynmorgan4613 It can be manipulative in both cases. We don't know how he presented her with the fact. If they had already agreed to disagree, but still wanted to get married, bringing up how they can't afford it for a few years CAN be holding her refusal over her head (holding a grudge even when you've already agreed to let the matter pass), which IS manipulative. But he could also have just brought it up when they were discussing what they actually wanted from their real wedding and what the budget for that would be like. We don't know the situation.
So we all looking for the new episode
Wait it’s Sunday, where is this week’s episode! 😱
I know I’m so sad there isn’t one
45:36 Noah going “the whole pack…” KILLED ME OMFG IM DYINGGG
AHAGAHAHAHAHS
For the furry story: girl, I would have screamed so everyone could hear “I’m 15! Your hitting on a 15 year old!”
The problem with guys like that in my experience is that they like to play stupid and turn it back around on the girl with “I’m just being friendly” “youre not even that hot” or it invites later violence when the girl inevitably has to go somewhere on her own/not in such a public place :/
@@ABalloonInNeed That does tend to be the game all too often with harassers, isn't it? Whatever it is that's bothering you is all in your imagination, you're raising objections over nothing, don't be so sensitive--until it's so big that they can't possibly deny it, and then they flip the gaslighting script and tell you that you knew exactly where it was going and you must've been ok with the whole thing if you didn't object before.
Ikr! The whole time I was like “tell him you’re fifteen!!” and if he continued, MAKE A SCENE
Sometimes people get very scary when you make a scene. They know what they are doing is wrong- and sometimes the more attention you call to that behavior by others and embarrass the creeper- the more dangerous the situation can get if people don’t take you seriously- and there aren’t enough people who take this kind of thing seriously enough.
there are also a good amount of men that would like that
Coming here after you realize there's no post this week
😢
why tho?
@aliabugz I guess she made comments about Breonna Taylor that were kind of victim blaming and also she was defending amber heard. I can't say if I agree or not since I know nothing about her but I think some people were mad
@@usoppshammerwho was?
@@acornautumn9927 the guest they were supposed to have on this week. The guest had those controversies so smosh decided not to upload the video I guess
Where is todays episode? I'm in Australia and we're accustomed to seeing Smosh Pit Reddit stories half a day earlier than the rest of the world 😁
That poor woman is probably just nice to everyone and the OP is just like "I'm in love with her so I should ruin her marriage so that I can be with her and the man that she loves can't." Like does he even talk to her or does he just make up conversations with her in his head and act like they're real?
OMG! He legit could be imagining conversations with her. I really hope her husband finds out the truth and they stay together.
Right? Exactly
i’m SO surprised at the romance novel reaction, it seems clear that the sister is trying to embarrass OP on purpose… seems pretty mean to me.
That’s how I felt too but I do also agree that it’s healthier for her to take pride in her interests even if it’s smutty romance novels lol
Same I thought maybe I had misunderstood the story; it seemed like it WAS making the parents and relatives all uncomfortable, not just OP.
Well that's why the final verdict was everyone is kind of an asshole. Because there's just no way of knowing what the vibe really is except what OP tells us.
I know right!! I don’t think they really understood how the OP of that story was feeling. She doesn’t want to feel embarrassed about the books in front of her parents. It doesn’t mean she’s being immature or ashamed of reading romance, she just wants to be a separation between the romance she reads and her parents! The sister was trying to embarrass her on purpose and was making it so weird for OP.
Agreed I think the sister is an asshole. Op gave the sister a book to read on vacation. Then the sister starts reading it out loud in front of their parents and saying this is what your daughter is reading. I would’ve snatched that book out her hands too. Just embarrassing for the op and the parents. Also sister is a grown ass woman she’s acting like a child going “ooooo look what op is reading, it’s a dirty book cuz there’s sex in it”.
Convention guard dog story:
I totally get this. Before I transitioned to male, I was one of those teenage girls who got uncomfortable attention. Now that I’m a thick dude with a giant beard and my 6 foot tall drag queen husband with me, we are the creep police at cons.
Omg love ❤️
i LOVE that,, thank you so much
There was no Reddit video this week I’m heartbroken😭
That guy in the cooking class was trying to get the young girl's attention.
And when she wasn't appreciative about his negging, he got vengeful and decided to ruin her in class.
This shit is so creepy and transparent.
Yeah it was so obvious that he was messing with her stuff without saying anything first and without her having enough time to react. Like, he saw her chocolate start to melt and changed the heat on the burner? What kinda cowboy quick draw is that gremlin pulling?
The emotional intelligence and maturity on Noah.....so impressive. He is on my faves list for this show for SURE.
Emotional intelligence/maturity *and* absolutely savage lines, he's the whole package for sure
Especially since he's the youngest member of the cast (I believe)
I would totally watch a life advice show with him and Damien! Love both of them!

Where's the new post??? 😢😢
i miss her (reddit stories) (the last epusode was already 9 days ago)
Shayne saying "Yeah, it's awesome. There's a sex scene that has a gun." made it sound legitimately rad as hell.
i think its meant more in the rapey way......
Also the book apparently mirrors q-anon and is really anti-semitic
Shayne has really mastered his radio voice ✨
_Good evening Gallows Creek! This is your host, Forrest Nash, Here on 189.16, THE SCREAM._
Now he just needs the microphone and cigarette.
He's giving Dr. Frasier Crane

meanwhile i only have a radio face
Noah is such a good guest on this show. His humor really shines here with his quick wit in these ridiculous situations
Where is this week's Reddit stories post?? I'm having withdrawals!
same
Same girl
Idk about the romance novel thing, OP has repeatedly asked her sister to stop mentioning her in the context of these books, I feel like that could be fixed easily by the sis, she's clearly disrespecting OP's boundaries. OP was doing her a favor (lending her books) and the sister just puts her on the spot all the time. I would actually say NTA
exactly and theres a difference between just reading books near your family and actually describing the content aloud for everyone to hear, which is what the sister was doing
the sister is also 19 and i think the excuse that "if you share something with your younger sibling , they are gonna talk about it aloud" is really annoying cause a 19 year old is very capable of respecting other's boundaries
@@carrotpencils omg totally, at 19 you should absolutely understand that concept. I also gotta agree with OP, considering the themes of the mentioned book I wouldnt want one of my secret kinks to be broadcast to my entire family and have it discussed or mocked, with or without my name being mentioned. So I totally get where they're coming from. If the sister still wants to read the book she can buy it herself, but I think taking it away is super justified at this point.
I don't typically have an audible reaction when Shayne reads the stories for the first time, but the actually GASP I made when the dude lying about an affair with his coworker to break up her marriage said "A part of me wants the divorce to happen so I can propose to her and marry her" That is absolutely disgusting
And the way he feels the need to announce the fact that shes asian and "innocent",,,dude watches too much anime
@@kaibaiarrio1299 Woah, don't insult us anime-lovers by dragging that disgusting excuse of a human here.
WHERE NEW EPPP?????😭😢
WHERE IS THIS SATURDAY'S EPISODE?????
I'm gonna need an update on that coworker that split up the marriage asap. Please, Reddit, I need this.
Fr also having an affair is such a heavy thing, that poor woman is being slandered and that disgusting dude is just getting away with it. I hope he’s caught and exposed
@M1n1Mushr00m ESPECIALLY because she is asian and muslim. Having a rumor about an affair is life ruining as it is, but I wouldn't be surprised if her own family is possibly shunning her. Islam is very strict about these things, especially on woman, she could literally not just be losing her husband but literally her entire life beyond her job. This man has genuinely just ruined her life because he thinks he loves her. I just-
It's so gross and heartbreaking I hope he told the truth because damn...
@@celigalaxii I don't trust that a man like this would do that
The whole story is giving 'You' from netflix
I'm going to leave a reply in case there is an update and someone puts it here.
Noah is such a good counterbalance for whenever they bring on a guest. He’s so engaging and inquisitive. He can match any vibe very well.
Also, he will probably say something so out of left field that you won’t be nervous, just kinda confused.
I kinda want him as a second host to Shayne, their opposite energies of "let's dissect this and figure out what's wrong with this person" and "I hope they walk into oncoming traffic :D" match so well.

Where’s the new Episode?
I'm a self-taught chef and have been cooking for about 13 years now. I swear to God if I was in that class and saw that man harassing that young woman, I would take it upon myself to go and critique every single thing that he did wrong, because if he's so focused on someone else's food, you just know his is being neglected
That is definitely someone who, as a kid, made a mediocre dish that everyone said was great and decided he was the next Gordon Ramsay.
@@slamer4000he 1000% grew up with person praise vs process praise and is just pissy someone else is working on overcoming their emotional issues around cooking
She was just drinking a sip of water, he was not even looking at his food at all loll.
I feel like the little sister in the second story should respect the fact that the sister isn’t comfortable with her parents knowing that she reads those books and keeping that fact private if she wants to talk about ‘em
i agree, if someone sets a boundary and tells you outright it makes them uncomfortable when you do this thing and you continue to do it with no regard for that persons feelings you are an asshole. siblings or not, doesnt matter.
The parents might be potentially ok with hearing nsfw content read out loud, but she was also doing it in front of guests. I highly doubt they wanted to hear that. 🫤
nah siblings be like that if they can annoy you of make you feel uncomfterble they will do it
@@Pastasauce-vs4grI mean yeah but be careful because if you don’t draw a line somewhere it’s also known as “bullying”.
Source: I’m estranged from my twin sister and have been for half a decade. She tried saying sorry and pretending she changed as a person, but undercut it by immediately insulting my appearance. She’s confused about why we don’t talk anymore.
also, neither of the sisters act older than 16?? i genuinely believe they're underage or something.
Where’s our new Reddit video 😢
The difference between that gastly Sabrina episode compared to episodes like these, with decent guests, is insane.
You can feel the vibe in the room and how different it is. It definitely translates to the audience.
