Ian fascinates me. He's like a psychopath that's conquered his urge to kill and he's just here now.
this is underrated, god i died after reading this
This is the truest comment on CZcams. This perfectly describes Ian.
Yeah surviving on CZcams for as long as he has does that to you.
@@FreneticPotato Hmm. Good point lol
I haven’t laughed this hard in a long time
"The most terrifying thought that keeps me up at night"
Me: The 2 truths 1 lie video.
that keeps me up at night too lmao 💀
Oh so true, poor Ian
fuck, I had forgotten about that. I'm going to feel queasy for the rest of the day.
I still think about it
I thought that too
Ian’s point system is as chaotic as he is
you can see chaotic damien got training from far higher powers than we knew
its like Link's point system 😂
"Welcome to 'What Would Ian Do?', where everything's made up and the points don't matter!"
Ian's point system is "Courtney is my favorite coworker at this table"
@@gman1515 You misspelled Olivia
Ian often radiates "old creator who now has an office job and is sick of CZcams" vibes, but then you have videos like this where he reminds us all why he's a CZcams comedy legend and why Smosh in any form is a CZcams giant.
You can say anything you want about Old Smosh and New Smosh, but the fact that Ian (and Anthony) led so many creators to the platform is legendary
@@Scrofar indeed.
I'm of the opinion that old Smosh was fantastic, if not slightly problematic in retrospect- but New Smosh is more than capable of upkeeping the legacy of being on the frontier of good CZcams comedy.
Man's a legend
@@TheGreyTurtleEntertainment it's the willingness to grow and adapt, too. really respectable
@@michikomanalang6733 not comparing but one guy who was a master at adapting and changing is PewDiePie... even if people don't like him, you can't deny his ability to change content and stay on top for so long
No Ian's right, the amount of landmines left in Asia alone is terrifying.
It has been decades since the war era has stopped, but the threat of landmines are still haunting. It is very terrifying.
You know what out numbers landmines a 1,000,000 : 1 plastic trash it will be here long after then land mines and will reshape the ecosystem as a whole because of its
When he said that it reminded me of when I learned that for 2 and half years I was living on top of 500 pound bomb from ww2 and they found it 10 years later after I left and it was still active
yaeh you even hear of grandpas digging up some object that they didn't know is a bomb or mine and displaying it in their living rooms not knowing that it could explode at the slighest wrong move
The land mine thing, go check out MrBallen's video "This Picture Was Taken Seconds Before Disaster", it pretty much confirms Ian's nightmare and that story would probably freak him out.
Dang, I need to find a way to get that to Ian so he'll watch it.
It's so funny to see everyone react to even the normal questions, just because Ian is asking them. If Courtney asked what's her favorite ice cream, nobody would say anything. But if Ian is asking, everyone is thinking like "oh no, he's going to say his favorite flavor is the vietnam war or something"
This is so funny and accurate 😂
and he would be completely serious, knowing the west coast there is an ice cream flavor named after pretty much everything here.
Vietnam war ice cream would prolly be spicy so he would, in fact, like it.
@@Dark0neone It’s like weed strains, but Ben & Jerry are the distributors.
Everytime Olivia's in this game, she always chooses war.
so did those landmines
But what is it good for?
@@AscendedXSaiyan Lowering the world's overpopulation
That's when its the most fun
Olivia doesn’t want peace. She wants problems, always!!!
when olivia turned to courtney and said "hes so strange" I'm just over here like no shit, he co-founded smosh
FRRRRR SJJSNS
I find Ian's delivery of dark facts extremely comforting.
I will not elaborate on this
Refuses to elaborate, leaves.
Elaborate on this
@@thenamesaj8554 No
No need to elaborate, I agree
If you don't want to elaborate could you at least explain?
The thought that keeps Ian up at night was a perfect chance for a “Where’s Anthony”
Or that time he accidentally told his ex gf that he cheated on her by spraying her with a water gun in front of god and everybody
Too obvious
I thought the same thing!
@@cassidyward4962 I feel like this should be edited to say he mistakenly* told his ex gf that he cheated on her when in fact he didnt
I thought the same thing!!
You can always see the point in these kinda games where Shayne transitions from taking it seriously to just giving up and being funny.
The thing is... We never know what Ian would do
And it's terrifying
The thing is we do know what Shayne would do and that is really freaking terrifying! It's only a matter of time before we see him on crime watch.
@@js0988 you are not wrong 😂 who knows what CFM will do
And that’s exactly what keeps **us** up at night
Wildcard
He cultivates an air of unpredictability
Ian is such a weird combination of seeming like a nice teddy bear, yet makes you fear for you life.
He reminds me of me lol
So... a bear
@@falsehoodintensifies445 “well yes, but actually no.”
monokuma!
Every video with Courtney just shows more and more how good of a listener she is. She must be a wonderful friend! 🥰
Agreed. You can tell she really cares.
Courtney and Damien are treasures who need to be protected.
olivia, about ian: he’s so strange, he’s stranger than me
me: that’s a lil far-
Can we just talk about how Ian is actually pretty smart, he knows so much, even if it seems insignificant. Like hes genuinely a smart man. No one ever talks about that
Ikr, this is so cool
Evil Ian be like: "Look at this wholesome non-violent non-traumatizing video I found"
😂😂
The editing in this video is at CRAZY LEVELS.
I was thinking the same thing, and was so stoked to see that Kevin Plachy, of Valleyfolk fame, was the editor.
@@markdaoust9537 holy shit I was literally thinking the editing style looked like Kevin Plachy, I'm so happy for him
@@KivinTheOnlyOne Same! I was just listening to the most recent Valleycast ep. and he mentioned doing some work for Smosh. Can't wait to see what brilliance he brings to the table.
I can't tell who's rating/scoring system is more chaotic, Link's or Ian's
Fuckin right
Shayne said he's never seen Ian eat ice cream but he literally had that ice cream ranking episode with Damien...
Shayne doesn't watch Smosh confirmed
I love that Shayne never really cares about winning, he just wants to mess with people and make jokes
For the drink that makes him the happiest question, Courtney‘s face when she knew the answer was the cutest thing I’ve ever seen
To "what keeps Ian up at night?" :
When he laughed before his reveal, I thought Shayne was going to write: "where's Anthony?" 😂
Ian plays into the airhead stereotype, to direct attention away from a morbid fixation with darkness, which in turn is a coping mechanism that directs attention away from a deep rooted fear of reality, and an inner child that finds momentary relief in playing the part as the dopey silly man; a rekindling of lost innocence. Deep down, man just wants to be a forest nymph, disconnected from the world's corrupting miasma.
Ian denying Olivia's low hanging fruit (Bottle of Cok) is the funniest thing ever
Fun Fact: The Catholic Church declared capybaras to be fish so that sailors could eat them during Lent
(Also, they’re native to S America, not Australia)
We call it carpincho here and is even in voting panflets During election as a meme.
They are damn cute and friendly even Driking yerba mate
I like how they had absolute authority over their followers, and instead of just creating an exemption for capybara during Lent, they went through the loophole route and declared them to be fish instead
They're too friendly to be Australian 😂😂😂
I think people just assume that they’re from Australia cause they’re huge. But yeah they are from South America.
12:34 I love Ian's "no", it's funny but lowkey genuine
I enjoy that in pretty much ALL the trivia or game videos, Courtney knows that Shayne/Damien/Olivia are going to be focused mostly on jokes and being goofy or entertaining, so she seems to always try to keep the game loosely on track, and actually provide real answers lol makes it seem a little more structured and not just like a complete gong show haha
I love the fact that Ian has always showed his love for the Go Bwah video, when smosh reacted to kids reacting to them, he recommended that video. A true love story.
Go Bwah is the best video ever filmed.
The crew saw Ian was gonna be at the center stage of a Pit video and said, "MAXIMUM EDITS, MAKE EVERY MOMENT STAND OUT!" and by god every moment did.
"don't touch I go boom boom"
Honestly same.
rhett and link need to come in one day when shayne drops a joke about them and just grab him and take him
Now that Anthony is back in Smosh, we need an episode of What Would Anthony Do!
Leave
YES! THE EPISODE I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR!!
Shayne, Olivia, and Courtney vying for their Father's attention.
For most of the video, I get strong vibes that Courtney is Ian's favourite child. ;-)
I think Courtney and Shayne are both his favourite children, he just shows it in different ways to them.
It's Courtney, Shayne and Noah. But for all different reasons lmao
There was a Smosh quiz video where Ian did say Courtney was his favorite girl
@@J0LEN3 He said she was his favourite Smosh girl, and considering she was the only girl present that was an easy answer. It is probably true, but still.
The fact that no one wins makes this the perfect Ian video
Oh man, that picture Shane drew was a deep cut!
Several, actually.
What video was it? I didn’t get it
@@TgIiDgUiS This video divides your life on two halves - before and after you see it. Trust me, it's better not to know.
Something broke inside me remembering that video.
@@SumDoodSumWhere i hope the fuck it didnt
@@etsykh wait i actually wanna know lmao
Whoever edited this was inspired. That chocolate rain joke made me laugh for a full minute 😆
Can we talk about Courtney's perfect impression of the baby panda sneeze
Olivia managed to make the whole room groan with one sentence. If that's not better than winning, I don't know what is
Hey Ian, just letting you know there are also numerous active nuclear warheads that have been lost by various nuclear powers over the years that to this day have never been found or recovered. The list of lost Russian nukes is currently not known publicly, so we don't even know roughly where they are. Hope this helps you sleep!
Ian's darkness needs a stronger voice on these channels. I get that it's not marketable but it's important and funny. I feel the podcast was meant as an outlet, I want more.
Mad respect for which CZcams channel he would delete if he could.
Even more respect to how all 3 immediately gave an expression of "well. That's fair. I can't argue". The most respect to Shane on how he said he's okay with making those illegal.
So.... I like how these videos show more of them as people.
Courtney always seems to be good at these! Such a good friend! Also give those video editors a raise, they are just as important as our amazing on camera Smosh peeps. Their edits are so hilarious. 😂 also would love to see what would Olivia do b/c we know it would be so crazy. Haha
I feel like i not only understand, but relate, and therefore appreciate Ian better.
I really wish he was more like this in videos. His dark humor is really good. Better than dumb humor.
holy shit its been so long since i’ve last watched smosh as a fan fan, and when ian asked what his favorite old school youtube video i automatically responded “go, bwah!” because i distinctly remember him fucking LOSING it over that video back in the early days of smosh. fucking wild. guess people really do never change at heart, huh
"What would Ian do?"
Play the whole game, then declare everyone loser, exactly what Ian would do
honestly the best episode of this series so far, seeing Ian say the most random crap he wants is an absolute delight, to me at least i'm sure the editors have a lot of trimming to do
Fun fact: Dominoes actually has 3 different white sauces! Garlic Parmesan, Ranch, and Alfredo sauce
Notice how sometimes Ian and Anthony have the same laugh I can’t
Alright the editing of the baby chuckle and the sneeze made me laugh so hard. Thank you editing team, y'all make humor.
Binge watching smosh vids, I can tell the Courtney is such a good listener and communicator
Just hit the part where Olivia's freaking out about ice cream and the subtitled "heh." 10/10 editing
omg 45 seconds in and *the editing in this is immaculate*
I myself an Ian would hit the notification as soon as he sees this as I love Ian-centric content...as well as the older stuff with Ian's mom.(favorite being when she took Anthony hostage over catching mewtwo)
I don’t recognize this name but if Kevin the editor sees this the editing on this video was impeccable 👌 10/10 made a hilarious video even funnier
The thirst thrown at Ian in the beginning is just me whenever I see him. *swoon*
I remember him mentioning that same video as his favorite video many years ago. It’s so awesome that Ian hasn’t changed a bit.
I love Ian for the non-basic questions
Ian: What terrifying thought keeps me up at night?
Me: That Anthony will never return to Smosh and you've lost your soul mate forever
I thought it would be that hed be doing smosh in his 60s
Well, this aged poorly.
@@Caseofgames Are you kidding? I sleep great now
Jokes on Shayne because if he deleted the “Rhett and Link” channel, they would still have GMM and GMMore lmao
I love the editors. Ian's children cracked me up.
Ian’s becoming more and more of a dilf in this past year’s worth of videos and idk how to feel about that
I’m so mad at myself for how hot I found Ian just talking about all the unactivated explosives left around the world. God DAMMIT. I need to stop drinking vodka.
Shayne’s One Man, One Jar reference had me dead 😂
Just think of how many people searched it after this video
I think we can all agree that Ian looks so good in this vid
I have been waiting for this, and it had to be with Courtney and Shayne, no one would know him better. May the golden trio lead Smosh forever.
appropriately chaotic that Ian’s video is the only one without a winner 😂
I agree, nice hand writing Shayne.
Do a What Would Olivia Do next pls!!!!! 🥰🥰🥰
Holy crap, I called the "Go-- BWAH" video!! (Also I stand by my answer of "Where's Anthony" for what keeps Ian up at night)
Holy crap, I've been on a Smosh binge the past two months after literal years of not really being on YT at all, and the chaotic energy in this and similar videos is just so damn amazing and is sustaining me through these weird times.
I'll be forever pissed that the one time I managed to leave Australia and get to LA was for VidCon 2015, and I only got to meet Ian's wax figure
This was such an Ian ending I love it
The editing in this video is great! Great job to Kevin :D
Also love how weird Ians pizza order is lmao.
GREAT EDITING IN THIS ONE!!!! KEPT ME ON THE EDGE OF MY SEAT WHOLE TIME@!!!!! superb
Ian Ian, Ian.... You get more and more handsome each vid.
We need more ✨Ian Appreciation✨ tbh
Shayne I know you didn't get points for the Rhett and Link answer, but you're the winner in my heart
*says while watching a video that could happen because of Rhett and Link.
@@rebeccascarpato3757 amen
after this what keeps up Ian at night is
"The fact that Olivia knows where he lives"
Love the editing style, well done Kevin Plachy
Everytime Olivia is anywhere I feel like she’s the perfect example of someone taking antidepressants for a month straight.
Editors are doing a damn good job. The editing int this video had me rolling.
Ian could bring the mood down at a funeral
Fantastic edits, loved this format :D
100% here for the energy every time 👏❤
I'm 2 minutes in and the editing has me in STITCHES! Serious props to the editor!
Olivia thinking that Ian is weirder than her 😂
I love Ian and his laugh!😍🖤 I need more of him on videos 😍😍
Please do this show again with Ian- he is soooooo interesting and fun to watch! Loving this!
shoutout to the editors that edit this video. I know it took a lot of time and work and download all the sfx and vfx, but trust me. ITS WORTH IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ian: what animal do i think is the silliest
me: kimmy
Everything about this video was 1000/10. And I have to say, Ian is always a pleasure to watch. I love how Olivia was salty the whole time, and is clear who is the favorite (Courtney).
Ian looks so much more confident and happy than before ❤️
The editing of this episode is FANTASTIC, I’m CACKLING
Editing is fire 🔥
5:50 totally thought that board was gonna say "where's Anthony?" Lol
Love the editing of this one!
Idk why but Olivia calling Ian Norman was hands down the funniest thing I've heard all week
Loving the Ian content smosh
I have every single season of LOST on DVD and have watched it many times, thank you very much Shayne!
They're upping their editing, GOOD JOB SMOSH EDITORS KEEP IT UP
They should do a "what would Anthony do" where Ian sits and turns around a board that says "leave" and then have 20 minutes of just Ian looking dead at the camera.
