We never actually saw this person and yet we can tell Shayne is nailing the impression of him
I googled him: yup, same shirt!
We all have met this type of person before
Ian's very visible discomfort tells us how accurate this is.
Yeah, Ian even says it at the beginning of the video
You can tell bc Ian looks so traumatized
The fact that Ian both is so triggered that he has to look away, yet also genuinely seems to admire Shayne's impression
It's a very impressive dichotomy.
You know this is too real when Ian is literally averting his gaze.
It's like a trauma victim 💀
@Lulu Sawyer she ruined herself by being bland as fck.
@@daddyvelvet4428 I accept and I appreciate it
The fact that Ian is genuinely embarassed makes it an incredible performance.
He’s both embarrassed and p*ssed, that’s when you know the impression is on point
Seeing Ian like actually uncomfortable is like seeing a unicorn.
He doesn’t seem that uncomfortable am I missing something
@@samanthalong4801 basically shayne is impersonating the ceo of the company who took over smosh awhile ago and then went bankrupt and left them high and dry, Ian understandably probably still has some amount of bad feelings about the whole incrdent
Ian is normally so good at wearing it on the inside, his hatred for this guy must be on another level if even he can't keep stoic in even an imitation's presence.
Ian having PTSD while Shayne having the time of his life
I think this isn't a parody. This is a documentary.
Hi
"Based on a true story" - Ian
You can tell Ian's trying to remember this is just Shayne and he can't get hurt anymore lmao
Ian was having a perfectly good day before Shayne walked in
😢
I feel like on this sketch shayne triggered something inside ian that to this day Ian can't help but roast shayne at every opportunity he gets just look at the smosh content from the past 6 months its like Ian is on the revenge path😂
Yupp recently roasted Shane's forehead
you commented this a year ago and it still holds true 😂😂
I was expecting Shane at the end to come back and say
"Oh, one last thing please tell Tommy to return the computer he stole"
Lmao that would have been ICONIC
Shayne does zany, out-of-touch corporates so well
Tbf this is literally someone he knew and worked with so he had a lot to draw from
I have so much respect for Ian. To survive from that shit hole and financially recover from that situation is just unbelievable
Have you seen the podcast where they talk about Defy? Ian did everything in his power to steer the ship and make sure his people were taken care of
Give Rhett and Link some respect FIRST.
@@ranjanbiswas3233honestly no. It's great that they stepped in. But there would have been nothing to buy and no sales pitch if Ian hadn't buckled down and really made everything happen to make it something viable to buy. It was about to be sold for parts. Ian got connections and legal people together to really sell the company and save as much from the old stuff as possible. While hiding all the ups and downs from his employees. Link and Rhett were great stepping in for sure. But Ian saved smosh. Both shayne and Anthony has said so
"your tears were more believable when the company went under" 🤣😭😭
Dude Ian saying “this is legit triggering” just ended me lmfao 😭😭😭
Ian’s face says it all, this was ON POINT
Now that Anthony is back, we realize Anthony was never the Ex.
Anthony was his brother who saw the toxic relationship that Ian was in and it drove them apart.
This was always better than having Anthony show up as an 'Ex'
you understand it so well
Sounds like a Reddit story
This is actually, the one time, where Ian looks legit upset and ready to put hands on Shayne at points.
Looking into Ian's eyes and watching him slowly die inside during this bit was the best part.
"Your tears were more believable when the company went under," Is such a killer line holy shit. It's one of those jokes that just gets better the more you think about it.
I keep making recommendation comments to Smosh videos that they should do a funeral for Defy media. Someone contributed to my idea by saying that Shayne should bring Dave Dilford into the video. I really want this to happen 😭
They might get in legal trouble but I would love it if they actually do it lol, plus it would be cathartic for all of them
@@notjustlaura6708 that’s what I was thinking too lol. It would be incredibly cathartic for them lol. I imagine they wouldn’t get into any legal trouble as long as they didn’t give away private info from the company. With the amount of info about Defy they’ve given through Smosh videos and SmoshCast, they probably have enough material to work with. They could also take a route like Shayne did and make fun of their recommendations for skits lol. I imagine that if Tommy did a Will reading for Defy it would be pretty funny, considering they left nothing for Smosh lol
@@bekahswanson I read in other comments that Tommy stole a pc from Defy, I'm sure he has a lot of things to say on the will reading. Also I imagine Jackie going to the stand and saying something like "I have no fucking clue why I am here, I wasn't there" and leaving inmediately lol. Also some of the old members could do a cameo. I'm so mad that I'm going to miss Ian's funeral the 30th, I love this dynamic so much lol
@@notjustlaura6708 That seems like such a Tommy thing to do and I love it lol. And omg yes!! I absolutely love Jackie and she’d be so great at pulling that off! And yes!! I would love to see old Smosh members if the old Smosh members would want to come back. Especially Mari. It’d be really cool if Sarah made a cameo too lol. And oh no I’m so sorry to hear! Maybe they’ll end up uploading it a month or so after the live show. I might buy tickets but I’m not quite sure, my nephew is due that day so I might be busy that day lol. I wish we could get Smosh to see this idea bc honestly I think they’d totally do it lol
@@notjustlaura6708 who would they get in trouble with? Defy is dead.
The is the most uncomfortable I’ve ever seen Ian.
I think the most uncomfortable Ian has been so far, was with his ex in the two truths and one lie episode.
You can see the ptsd in Ian’s face
this feels like actually therapy for everyone who's worked on smosh
The thought occurs that Shane could now introduce Anthony to Dave Dilford...
I looked up how he actually looked and omg I can see why Ian has ptsd. P.S. Dave Dilford is obviously not his real name but I sure as hell believed it was 💀😭
Real name is Dave Silverstein. Former GM and SVP of Smosh.
@@sicknerf3d837 OOF XD
It's actually a Keith Richman. They said so in an episode of Quiplash. They sort of censored it but did a bad job of it and I suspect it was done badly on purpose. This guy also is on the board of GrubHub.
@@SabbathtageWait a minute… was he behind the dancing baby GrubHub ad???
No-one was laughing cos they were in awe
That laugh in the background was of ryan finerty their head director
ian initially at a normal posture at the questions then slowly getting into his uncomfortable eye scratch and PTSD hunch is what killed me
edit: first of all thanks for the 100 likes, but ian’s gaze averting was also everything. it’s like seeing a fight happen in front of you of you while also not trying to catch the smoke, but really it’s just the PTSD
This mf can read body language
“GrOwINg uP iS WeIRd” - Dave Dilford
Sometimes i forget that Shayne was in the trenches of Defy with Ian right from the beginning, this must have been just as triggering for him as it was for Ian
Probably not as much. From what they've all have said, Ian and Anthony (and later Ian alone) took a lot of the brunt of it and tried to shield the team as much as possible. Shayne will have experienced the general bad vibe and choices but not all of the stuff Ian had to.
I realize that shayne's "making giggles for 8 year olds" was not only why they were so popular for 2010s but why they were unhappy.
They couldn't be as mature, they were stuck making content for early teens, they clearly had to be a character, and same for Games in that time. And it became not fun and it went so far that anthony quit.
But at the same time they were doing VERY well, so while people think "old smosh used to be better" for mid 2010s.... it's because it was written for you to like it because of your age.
Facts of the highest order.
EXACTLY! I think that’s also what killed smosh, because I think if smosh was doing the type of skits they do now like 5-7 years ago they wouldn’t have been called “childish”. I love smosh tho so they could upload 10 hours of shayne and Damien staring at a wall and I’d watch it 😂😂
You hit it square on the head. Most if not all of their demographic in the early 2010s was 7-12 year olds. Thats when I started watching them, anyway. We grew out of it, but Anthony and Ian couldn't, since most of their fanbase was still in that age group and they'd risk losing most of their fanbase if their humour matured alongside the channel.
Bingo! I cannot watch an old Smosh video without cringing. Those old videos are so nostalgic, but they did not age very well.
Shayne said in the podcast that around the time that Defy went under Smosh was doing some of its biggest ever numbers and also Defy was the worst place to work as a creative
I would love to see Shayne bring this character back for Anthony’s exes
That's a great idea😂
His real name is Keith Richman, though. They said it in one of the Quiplash videos during quarantine; it was censored, but for a fraction of a second, I could see it
Dave Silverstein.
More like Barry Blumberg
Joshua Shapiro
Based on the pictures, Shayne really did nail the shirt.
the fact that so many people are saying different answers proves to me how interchangeable and devoid of personality these corporate types are
Ian is sooooo unhappy about how accurate this is and it’s hilarious!
We all know from Ian's reaction that Shayne is nailing this, but I'd like to point out you can also tell from Shayne's performance and this is so accurate because it was filled with spite. Like he wanted to make fun of this guy so accurately that it couldn't be denied
It sucks what Smosh and everyone else that worked with Defy had to go through after they went bankrupt, but at least they're with Mythical now and working with actual CZcamsrs that understand there position and where they're coming from and they hopefully won't have to deal with with anymore Dave Dilfords ever again.
And now they own Smosh again... 👌
"thats something that I actually did pitch" i need the details omg lmaoo
We are all laughing but we don’t even understand why this is so funny, Only Ian knows
Honestly, if you work in a corporate environment you’ve met this man. EVERYONE has met a Dave Dilford.
i appreciate executives like this for not only getting the demographics of the channels and shows wrong but additionally consistently pitching children's shows that children would also hate. like every single popular show that's Actually giggles for eight year olds is as clever as a good comedy made for adults because actual writers can comprehend that children aren't idiots that blindly watch just sort of whatever. the elephant pitch made me die a little bit i cannot figure out what or how that would even Be
🔥🔥🔥
I don't even know what Dave Gilford looks like and I already have a perfect read on his personality
I’m actually disturbed how close his name is to my actual bosses name.
might want to double check your paychecks then
Hopeful that Anthony has to interact with Dave Dilford
I fear for Shayne if it happens😅
God, I am so glad that we never ever have to see that weird office ever again. And I do mean: Ever again.
Ian is entering fight or flight mode
I'd love to see anthony react to this impression too
This guy has to come back to talk to his other ex, anthony
Seeing Shayne being fancast as Booster Gold was very surprising but after watching this I definitely see it now.
1:49 real quotes are always gonna be the funniest sh*t
This man’s actual name (Shayne changed it for obvious reasons) was/is Keith Richman. I mean Dave Dilford is fitting, both three syllables, both act like a total dill, you know, the works! Oh, and of course, as told by these other comments, Ian’s and the crews both visible and audible *visceral* discomfort at this gag by Shayne tells you how so very, *very* accurate this is to the real thing.
"That's something that I said.. to your faceee"
I like that I didn't even know that this person existed before this, but the impression was so spot on for Ian that I know everything I would need to know about this Dave Dilford person.
I hope the real Dave Dilford saw this and cringed just as hard as Ian.
Smosh could literally make like 2 years of content from all Defy drama
Dave is great 😂 Ian’s Face throughout the whole thing is great 😂😂😂
Legit Media sounds like something someone already tried
“that is something that I did pitch. that is something I said to your face” see this is comedy but also like, a psychological thriller
Shayne has been waiting for this for a VERY LONG TIME
Poor Ian reliving the horrible past 😢
I needed this. I kept on rewatching this video just for this
Imagine, just for a second... That Dave Dilford ACTUALLY approached Ian and asked to go in on something again.
I feel like that might have happened and that's why it got kinda weird but also kinda real at the end.
Shayne in casual formal really gives off some "my friends hot dad" vibes
Dilford the annihilator
I looked up the guy he was imitating and it is so uncanny how accurate the look is.
I need Anthony’s reaction to this lol
Total DILF
"That is something that I said... to your face..."
From the title I genuinely thought they made up Dave Dilford's name as a bit. But no, they're a real person...
from what I found, it's Gilford
Ian is like: “Oh God! That son-of-a-b***h again! Please give me the strength of not killing him!”
Btw, never seen this guy (Thank God!) but Shayne was very funny here!
Anyone wondering, real person is Matthew C Diamond.
1:04 🎶 put it deep in the blowhoooole, put it so deep in the blowhoooole 🎶
Wait defy was behind SHUT UP? Now i understand why they dont use it
Smosh has used the SHUT UP since it was just Ian and Anthony. Defy probably just ruined it for the crew. I can imagine an out of touch corporate person overusing and killing the joke for everyone.
I didn't even know about any of this until I watched this video and man what a way to learn about it
Shayne deserves an oscar.
Ian’s having flashbacks to Nam the whole time 😂
One of the fee times we’ve seen Ian in genuine discomfort 😂
How much you wanna bet that the guy this character is based on found out about this and is seething but knows he can't sue?
Lets be honest, that guy probably never watched the show he helped produce XD
He's most likely spinning signs by the road, he'll never find out
Major "birth of an anime supervillain" vibes
3:57 Ian's reaction was priceless. Goes to show how accurate Shayne portrays his characters
God my corporate boss acts like this during monthly examinations I hate it
Shayne needs to bring this character back for Anthony’s funeral
I need an Anthony live reaction on this video more than any other!
Shane does a great Simon Sinek cosplay
Anyone think Shayne is gonna bring him back for the Anthony's Exes video?
i would LOVE to see Anthony’s reaction cuz i have to believe it mightve been just as bad as Ian’s if Ian was reacting that way to Shayne’s impression💀
🔥
Nice video
Shayne does pull off the look
We need to see this again but with Anthony
He must make a return
Anthony's funeral?
Ooooooh this is where the “giggles for 8 year olds” came from 😂
The way Ian’s Johnny was to Courtney was the same way Shayne’s Dave was to Ian. Poetic and hilarious
i know ian agreed to film this but i feel so bad for him :/
This was part of the Interviewing Exes video, Ian didn't know what Shayne was going to do so his uncomfortable reactions were 100% genuine
Dave the Dilf
I can feel the trauma in the air XD
He's like the investor doctor octacon bruce banner from silent hill that turns into a crazy scientist.
I want Dave to meet with Anthony
We need Anthony to see this
he looks hot
giggles for eight year olds
