I CANT BELIVE ANTHONY AND SHAYNE GOT MARRIED‼️‼️
They’re so cute! 😂
ian is in shambles
@@markramsey2454 On the upside, this sounds like a good time for the return of the Corn.
i can’t believe courtney crashed it wearing a ‘gay rat wedding’ dress😔😔
LMAOO
so glad to see courtney’s husband still has time to read us bedtime stories
This needs to be top comment
courtney's wife*

I read "corpse husband" at first and I was so confused for a second 😭
Imagine destorying your engagement, your friendship, other people's friendship, your family relationship, and your job, just because someone said you're not that great at sex. This guy is insane.
I can't believe they made it to 6 years
Yea he’s definitely WAY to insecure. At first I was like "that’s kinda mean" talking about the wife, but that is so normal for girlfriends (women who are friends) to talk about their bf and husband’s performance. The guy is insanely insecure and needs help. Also that is something you can fix and should definitely talk about as partners, if your not satisfied then talk about it
Okay yes but if you’ve been having sex for 5 years and never told your partner about it, and you hear it from one of her friends who just so happens to be one of his best friends, I can see why he got upset. That is private and there should’ve been a conversation about it, but not canceling the engagement altogether
It sounds like he has feelings for his fiancé’s friend. He was looking for a reason to leave Amy. And he’s more embarrassed about it because his fiancé Amy told Haylee (the girl he actually wants to be with) about their sex lives.
@@Felix_hobi I don't like the whole "it's normal to talk about your partners performance" thing. There may be some couples okay with that but it's conversation first, not a given expectation that that'll just happen. It's invasive and embarrassing. Not enough to call off the wedding but still okay to be initially upset
The pumpkin story is so sad to me because she literally had friends that knew and didnt tell her. Imagine realizing your friends actively watching you be betrayed, this hurts.
This! Ew!!
Litterally going through this for the 2nd time except this time it’s 20x more painful.
THEN gaslight you about it 😭😭😭
Also didnt she say they were like 19 and 20?? I thought at first that the best friend and other friends were being immature but this is way more serious
The only person that actually told her without telling her was the “girl best friend”
She basically said “your bf is a communal munch and the town knows” without explicitly saying that.
the "im in love with my best friend" post actually has a few more updates that the dates went really well and their families were really happy for them
aww that’s so wonderful!!
Yeah, I had to go looking for it as well. Their families were making jokes about when the wedding is
Yay!!! So great to hear!
Yess! Yessss! I hope they have an awesome life.😃😃😃😃😃😃
yess omg im so happy for them

🎃 "Can I talk to you in the patch" 🎃
That wiped me out holy shit 😭😂
“from one pumpkin to another” 🎃 anthony really got into that lol
That story of the girl flying out to a city to see her friend literally sounded like a stress dream. I can't believe that actually happened to someone, I feel like I'd wake up like halfway into that and be relieved it was only a dream
My theory is that him and his "friend" have a humiliation kink, but for other people's humiliation. Maybe they got off on treating her poorly.
@@amoexanimo THIS IS WHAT I WAS THINKING I COULDN'T BELIEVE NOBODY THOUGHT IT WAS A KINK THING
Had a platonic friend (who had asked for more and been told no pretty firmly) insist on being my date to senior ball. He had been my date to my junior prom so I finally gave in and thought it would be ok. Huge mistake. He was completely obnoxious during dinner-you could tell nobody was enjoying his company-he spilled his drink and then claimed mine for himself, and then he threw a dinner role across the room. It was awful and a definite friendship killer. I told him how humiliated I was by his behavior and he blamed me for “hinting” that I wanted to ask him when I told him I was planning to go stag. I didn’t speak to him for over ten years when he suddenly friended me on Facebook. I accepted out of curiosity. First thing he says to me is that if I get upset with him again I should just ghost him. Seriously, dude? You think we’re picking up where we left off? You think that’s the best way to reconnect? Delusional.
@@amoexanimo 100%
@@amoexanimoyes thank you I was thinking the same thing! Maybe they were hoping she would yell at them for some sweet sweet degradation.
"Men will literally do anything but find the G spot." Top tier Courtney remark 😂
And she’s not even wrong, smh 😔😂
@@Kingbimmy seriously
Sandi Toksvig of British TV:
"What's the difference between a c******s and a golf ball?
Most men would happily spend 20 minutes looking for a golf ball."
I was reminded of this joke as soon as Courtney said that.
The cl!t being in Idaho cracked me tf up
She really popped off with the one liners in this video

This is real
And technically Ian too
@gracegrrl007 pretty sure that's Peter's actual face
6:59 Very brave of Shayne to confess to dropping company property IN FRONT OF HIS BOSS
i think he wasnt worried bc the laptop ended up fine and also anthony seems like the type to be pretty chill and understanding. his reaction was more shocked than upset
with the sexually insecure dude, she likely didn't communicate because when she finally did, he blew up, broke the engagement and is moving to a different state. there is no doubt that he had overblown reactions to any discussion or criticism she would have had in the past, so she probably just gave up on trying to communicate with him.
Fr, things don’t happen in a vacuum.
here's the bigger question, why even talked about your sex life to other people in the first place especially when it's a negative?
@@syafiq271thats the whole deal. their relationship wasnt stable enough to have open conversations about their sex life. that means they probably also hadnt had any conversations setting boundaries about what is appropriate to share with friends. so when she found herself frustrated and didnt feel comfortable going to her partner (probably because she knew he would have an adverse reaction and wanted to avoid that) she resorted to talking to her friends as a way to vent because she had no one else to go to. they were obviously lacking in communication if he was constantly feeling the need to get info from her friends rather than from his partner directly.
@@nicoledlugopolski4621 and that's the folly of it all. i would rather speak to my wife risking a fight with a hope of sorting it out than airing my laundry to other people where nothing will change. the point is people tend to shit on the guy when the fault is equally on her part too.
I thought the same thing!!!!
I'm obsessed with the guy who called off his engagement getting so embarrassed he fled the entire state
What some people would do instead of getting therapy.
That guy is gonna have to be single his entire life if he’s looking for a woman who doesn’t talk to her friends about their sex life, so sad and weird
It’s actually terrifying
Facts. It's literally a joking movie quote, "best sex that you've ever had guy is in jail." So like, yeah women are looking for more than just sex.
He asked, begged, for shitty information. He wanted something bad and he got it. He wanted out.
Anthony looks way too much like the dad that was missing for a couple years and is now trying to reconsile
that's so specific lmao
Its the stache
Reconcile with his two kids who are now married 💀💀
He looks like that one officer in orange is the new black
Negan from TWD vibes
"I'm in love with my best friend of 24 years" had me crying the entire time. I'm trans and for some reason that hit so much harder then I thought it would. Tears of joy/content/pride to be clear
Looking for another person who had the same experience as me hearing that story 🥰
there are actually more updates to that post, and all are in a master post by the original op (so idk why there's a best of reddit updates post that doesn't contain all the updates). Op's username is u/TheForeverThrowaway if you want to read the entire thing, but to sum things up: they had an amazing date, their parents were super happy for them (they weren't surprised it happened), and they've been getting a bunch of "when's the wedding" jokes from their families. They went on another date, and the last update just stated that we were going to love what happened; but we never actually found out what it was as there weren't any more updates. I've decided to interpret the silence as them being too busy being happily in love to give us an update.
what is a tear of content
@@GingKo-ui7qr means you cry because you feel at peace
i read your command. And let me be real with you, I'm glad is a tears of joy!
i’m a trans guy and the one about the guy in love with his trans friend legitimately made me cry. this show, despite all the sillies and jokes, is so important. thank you courtney’s wife shayne
😂😂😂😂
Same here!!
Could be wrong, but that sounds like the most gender-affirming thing ever: your straight best friend falling in love with you
@@J.Blazer honestly it is, I'm a transguy too. If a gay man or straight woman tells me they're attracted to me I'd feel honored. My bestfriend is gay and in a relationship with another man, the man has stated hes afraid my friend will cheat on him with me. Dont get me wrong, the guys insecurity makes me sad, but I'd be a lying-ass mf if I said there wasn't a fraction of me that thinks "wow, you see me as enough of a man to be a gay mans side piece?!" As I tuck my hair behind my ear and blush. Its kind of gender euphoric.
I'm a trans guy and ever since I transitioned, everyone including friends feel like I have gained so much more happiness and confidence, back when I was a "woman" I struggled so much with friendships and romance, meeting people and such. Now people can sense the difference, my skin isn't as soft (I have so much acne and scars from HRT), my body isn't as feminine (I built muscle and had surgery) and I seem to be drawing so much positive attention from strangers and old friends. Even though I wasn't the young skinny feminine girl anymore, people love me for me now.
Loving how devoted they are to the theme. Those friendship rings are legit.😂
Aw! They were such good friends that they got married because they’re besties! 🥹
@@Vorniforous she literally interacts with everyone that way.
@@Vorniforous LMAO get a life

I love that Courtney and Shayne don't need to censor themselves anymore about their relationship when talking about relationships, friendships, living together with partner etc, like all those topics.
this is so fun
I can’t imagine how it must’ve felt to do that for so long
And yet they still do it
They never *needed* to. They chose to be more private about it.
@@T.E.A.TimeMusic "Need" as in a need to do to be able to keep it private. I'm aware of their choice. I mean that it must feel good to not have to think about it when filming. It was just a thought since Courtney posted about it being "a weight lifted from their shoulders".
"I'm on my way." *sits on MacBook*
🤣
I hope they see this for future gerald cakes bits 😂😭
Yaaaaaaas
the guy who called off his engagement and uprooted his entire life is WILD because the way he described what kylie told him, it wasn't even that she was actively complaining about their sex life. it sounded like, like the guy, the friends were wheedling for her to say anything bad about him, like "come on, he's GOT to have some kind of flaw" and she settled for "well i guess he's not the best at sex but we ball because i love him for everything" like ??? be serious
It seems like the whole time she never said it as a serious complaint and she was always joking. I mean I guess it could've been one of those not-really-a-joke jokes, but damn, to leave after a pretty small mistake your partner made? I can't imagine
The guy who blew up his engagement seemed more concerned about Kylie thinking he’s bad in bed than he did about his partner being unsatisfied.
For me, it seriously seemed like a joke, like "Well, it's not the BEST sex I've ever had" type of thing
And Jesus sex is not the entirety of a relationship! Guys...real talk...at some point in her life, your girl, has had better and/or bigger than you. It might have a motor and a nickname and live in her nightstand, but the same way she's not always gonna tug it just right, sometimes y'all aren't focused on the right things. THAT'S FINE. Totally normal! But dropping a nuke on your life and running away to another state because, perhaps, you're too focused on you getting off vs both of you feeling satisfied, is not what a sane person does!
I was expecting Kylie to be after him the way he was so focused on her. To say, "Tell me something so I can change! I swear I won't get upset!" and harass them about it until they say something minor (that is fixable btw), and then immediately get so bent out of shape that not only do you destroy your relationship, but also check out of the whole state, is like an 8 yr old kicking over the sandcastle and running home crying because he's not "winning."
Did I once have the best lasagna of my life, with a taste that sent my taste buds straight to heaven? Yes! Do I now expect every lasagna to be that good for the rest of my life? No. Can I only marry a husband that cooks a lasagna as good as that one? No! I don't see an issue with what the fiancé told to her friends, it's just girl talk. But well yeah, the friend really shouldn't have told him
22:25 "She clearly dodged a bullet, the bullet being his seed." ANTHONY CONTROLLING HIS LAUGHTER
It's brutal
It’s insane that I read the comment at the same time as Courtney was saying it in the video
just realized that courtney repeated the joke at 1:02:06
I choked on my coffee. Eww!
Everytime they made that joke, I physically recoiled 😭😭
The Shane, Courtney, Anthony combo feels like being able to hang out with the big kids at the family gathering.
It gives “cool older cousins”
The accuracy
this is so true
There's a point in the story about the man who wasn't good at sex that really caught me. He kept saying, "especially Kaylee" like he cared about her opinion of him even more so than what others thought. I think he was ultimately hurt that his image might have been damaged in HER eyes and refused to admit he has a crush on his girlfriend's friend.
"Men will do anything instead of finding the g-spot." Courtney has me rolling in this episode.
+ now men know it’s in Idaho 😝
Wow Courtney and Shayne are such good friends!
I mean what's more best friend-like than a good old fashioned marriage?! 😅
Their friendship is like a brotherly bond
And they were roommates
LMAO
Só good
In the spirit if that last story, I think I'd really love an entire episode dedicated to unreliable narrators that get called out. Read the posts, then try and figure out what's missing or what detail was left out-- like a detective game
I'd love that. It's amazing when crappy people get called put for leaving important bits out of the story.
@j-j8984 oh absolutely! Cathartic as hell.
That's a fantastic idea!
Great idea!
@@Spoonie86 thank you! I rarely have those
That last story was super upsetting for me because one of the number one signs of abuse that I've seen with my friends is when their partner tries to isolate them from the people who care about them and will step in if they see abuse happening.
Op: "I want to know my flaws so that I can improve upon them"
Also Op: (Doesn't even try to improve on his "flaw" and instead runs away)
him: "oh no not that flaw. i wanted a different one" 🙄
Courtney and Shayne are literally married now and they are STILL committed to the "just good bros" bit lmao
They talked about their marriage on the recent Smosh Mouth
They said how they prefer to keep it that way so neither of them get lost to the relationship and are just referred to as a couple. They very much still want their individual selves to be them on screen.
@@missylundeby Yeah but like whats wrong being perceived as married people?
You can be married to your good bro tho
@@Fanthomas1742Nothing, which is why they told everyone already. That doesn’t mean they aren’t also each other’s best friend. That’s literally how their relationship started.
You crashed my Honda civic, but I was gonna upgrade to a Mercedes...so you need to cover the difference. Lol
Right?! Please take me to small claims so I can actually pay you less.
This is EXACTLY the analogy I came up with in my mind haha
Not just the difference. You need to give me the money for the whole new Mercedes! In cash! As you agreed to before. And if you don't, I'll sue you!
Honestly if I were that person and they told me they were going to upgrade anyways I'd be like ok then I'm not gonna reimburse you for it because you were already planning on spending the $2700 for a new one so you didn't really lose anything
Seriously! Like wth?
With the second story, it now makes sense why the friends took the other girl's side. They all knew that whole time, and they covered it up. They're all toxic, glad she got out of there.
Shayne having to pause during the second story's update at the pregnancy reveal and the immediate simultaneous "NOOOO!" from Anthony and Courtney sent me
I love watching Shayne and his best friend, Courtney. They’re such great friends and nothing more than that. Just two good friends.
Totally
Forever friends, forever platonic, forever never more than that.
Yeah sibling energy FOR SURE
ikr, shayne and his husband anthony getting to hang out with their best friend courtney is so nice :)
"and they were roommates!!" 🤣🤣
"she calls me abusive and controlling even though she dates exclusively assholes" obvious deflection. not only did he bring up something unrelated, he also never denied the fact that he's abusive. hugeee red flag
Truly... Like... both of them can pick badly... one thing doesn't rule out the other
He also demonstrated through his actions that he's one of the a-holes
Them: "I'm not manipulative or controlling!"
Also them: "You have to choose between me or them!"
I think the whole lot are a-holes, even the other friend finding the post. That's so much negativity and vitriol for one friend group.
The thing that gets me is the unnoticed self call out. "She dates exclusively assholes" meaning he's clearly an asshole.
19:37 - Anthony and Courtney simultaneously looking and each other and screaming "NOOOOOOO!" was perfection
"She never gave me any indication that she's unsatisfied in 5 years!"
Oh, she definitely did, you just didn't listen
Anthony, emotional, teary
Courtney, "I've never wanted to piss on the floor more, out of joy"
😂
It's such a puppy thing to do, and it just reconfirmed the cat energy-dog energy relationship duo. I just always thought Shayne brought the dog energy, but it was Courtney all along 😂
That was fucking hilarious. Just when you think you're sorted here comes Courtney or Angelina from freeken left field and bam, out at the plate.
Love it.
"Why are you applying for a transfer?"
"I'm looking for the G-Spot... That's Georgia, right?"
This was brilliant,my friend. Well done!
"She has one, yes."

This “I’m in love with my best friend” story needs to be in the top 10. This is beautiful and I’m in tears it’s so precious.
That first story- insane. That Update legit made my jaw drop.

*second story I'm dumb, you know what I meant >>
Courtney's "they dodged a bullet, the bullet being his seeds" killed me each time
i love how at 15:12 courtney is able to just causally bring up that they’re a couple 😭 i’m glad they’re comfortable enough to do that without it needed to be a big thing
it felt so right
Yes!! It’s so great! ♥️
People like this are the reason they didn’t want to let people know. These parasocial comments on every video with one or both of them in it, are getting out of control.
Can we just enjoy the content?
@@evantroymusici’m just glad they’re able to bring it up causally without it needing to be a big deal. they both expressed they wanted this in their recent podcast. it’s not parasocial when it’s something they both expressed they wanted publicly. if you have a problem you can ignore it and move on.
@@evantroymusic Literally nothing was wrong with the comment, you're just complaining to complain.

That's who I was reminded of this whole episode?! ty haha
“UPDATE”. Dumbledore said calmly
Hahahha
okay this made me laugh out loud omg 😂
Wheezing 😂
I literally cackled 😂😂
I'm definitely tearing up over the best buds to couple arc with the trans woman - not only the story itself, but their reactions to it. Obviously I knew Smosh was trans friendly, but it’s just plain lovely to see it treated so normally.
There's actually a few more updates on the post. The most exciting part has already been read here but there is still a little more positive vibes
THERES UPDATES?!? I NEED THEM ❤

@@e_paigelinks to all the stories are in the video description
Guy: "Marriage is based on honesty, I wont be hurt by the truth."
Also Guy: "I was dishonest about the last part, it hurt me immensely."
The post about the guy falling for his friend gave me the most uncontrollable involuntary reactions of joy. I don’t think I’ve ever felt so much happiness for people I don’t know.
Actually both of Shayne's guests are more than just friends. One is his boss. The other is Anthony.
😂
😂
Heyohhh!
😂
Exactly, that's why he's now known as Courtney's wife
the guy who was called abusive and controlling pulling out an ultimatum to his girlfriend when she was crying about a very stressful situation is really something
the guy who was “called” abusive and co controlling? he was abusive and controlling
@@jessicaaitken8858 yeah, thats the point
"Men will do anything but find the G-spot" 😂😂😂 this is so real! Loved Anthony and Courtney - totally vibed with their thoughts throughout
Best friends falling in love has got to be my favorite thing. Its so wholesome. So happy for Court and Shanye
“You’re the ahole Jake” OMGGG 😂 That member of the friend group read him for filth
The restraint of the woman in the second story to drive around him on the grass instead of directly over him is admirable
She was trying to get to her car in order to leave, I believe. But yes, absolutely if she was already in her car and just drove around him. Massive restraint.
he was REALLY pushing his luck lmao
If he would have made it impossible for her to leave the property she could call the police. It is illegal to prevent someone from leaving any property
it doesn't really take a lot of restraint to not murder someone but ok
@@rickyricardo9710 they weren't being serious
seeing a man who's not toxic, well mannered and respects women falling in love is so cute the third story really got me cackling
"Screw it, I'm going for it," is such a hard opening line
"I'm in love with my best friend of 24 years" has probably got me the most excited for an update out of every smosh reddit video/post I've seen, I started audibly yelling 😂😂
I'm so happy for them it's the cutest story i've ever seen
there are several actually! If you go to the link in the comments they have the story of the date on there
i was doing chores and had to sit down for the whole story as a trans person myself i felt hope!!
I was kicking my feet it was so cute
I was basically cheering it on like it was sport. In fact if my team don't get into Europe the fact that their love has blossomed will keep me going until next season

Only Straight Chanse can say strong seed without it sounding icky, which explains why Courtney and Anthony felt gross after saying it

Courtney: "Men will do anything instead of finding the g-spot."
Shayne: *awkward laugh*
it always pisses me off when cheaters say "I never meant to hurt you" because if they GENUINELY didn't mean to hurt you, they would've never gone behind their partner's back and betray their trust in an extremely vile way
My theory, after personal experience dealing with them, is that most truly don’t “mean to hurt” their significant other - they’re just too selfish or immature to think about what their partner would experience. They don’t have the capacity for that empathy, or they delude themselves into an alternate reality where they’ll never be found out or their partner secretly wants an open relationship etc.
Some don’t even think about the consequences, and some just “ostrich” and hope the consequences never come.
I’m sure there are some malicious cheaters out there, but the ones I’ve dealt with primarily seem to be centered in their own needs, wants, and reality.
@@gracewenger575 Very wise words indeed and I'm sorry you've been cheated on
@@gracewenger575 this makes sense. I figured they just have to be very emotionally shallow people who don't care about anyone but themselves.
When they say that, they mean they wish they didn't get caught.
@@isetmfriendsofire ah, that makes more sense now! I have autism so I have a really hard time understanding sarcasm or anything said not genuinely so I always though people who said that were being serious
OP saying "marriage is built on honesty" right after blatantly lying that it wouldn't hurt him is WILD
feelings changed doesn't necessarily means it's a lie
I think he thought he could handle it
Guys he had JUST SAID he felt stung for a whole day after her friend told him she said it. He knew how he would feel
That last one, I already got a strong sense from the way it was written that he was leaving out huge details and was, in fact, a controlling AH causing problems. The friend responding honestly confirmed what I was suspecting. Glad the GF is out, I hope she can heal and find better relationships, because it sounds like she struggles with this. Also poor BFF, that girl's been through the ringer.
I needed this today. My close aunt was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer today and I needed the laugh desperately. Thank you all for being so genuine and funny
im so sorry about your aunt. wishing the best for your family ❤
Us Smosh fans stick together, we are all here for you!! I wish for a speedy recovery for your aunt! 💜
"A strong seed." All i can think about is Chanse's character during the betrayal in the house on the hill series. 😂😂😂
I literally jumped on the comments and scrolled just to see if I wasn't alone and hearing that thank you😂
omg yess 😂😂
I knew I’d see a comment like this!!! Me tooooo same!!!!
Amadeus lives!
Same! Was waiting for them to mention it!
"piss on the floor out of excitement" is such a real reaction tbh
THEY WERE SO REAL FOR THAT LIKE ME TOO BABE ME TOO
Anthony is giving off Charlie Swan vibes and I’m here for it. Charlie Swan is the best character in twilight anyway.
Goddamn it! I cannot unsee this.
"she clearly dodged a bullet, the bullet being his seed" is wild
smosh’s motto really is “friendship always wins”
Um no that’s clearly the motto for Yu-Gi-Oh pssh 🙄🤚
My wife literally schedules what we need to do on the weekend so i can be here for when this drops lol
this is so cute
That's so adorable 😍
I work Saturdays now, but I used to play sims while listening.
Now I get the kitchen ready to open as I listen. Not as nice but still great!
that's respect 💞
@@luvely1062oooh playing sims while watching Reddit stories is such a vibe, I’ve been doing that while I was sick a couple weeks ago
How you gonna follow up Peter Peter pumpkin cheater with literally the most wholesome thing ever
Courtney is absolutely glowing in this episode! I think not having to hide the relationship anymore has given her such a sense of freedom. That's how it seems anyways.
The friend coming into the comments in that last story genuinely had me shaking for how awesome it was. Jesus fucking christ, this show is great
absolutely!
“You’re the A hole Jake” is iconic
The man falling in love with his best friend is like the most beautiful story ever ....I haven't heard what happens yet....omg my soul
as of a year ago they’re still going strong!
@@simonzennlove to hear a fellow doll being loved 🥰
I legit did a happy dance and was grinning ear to ear hearing the updates. I love that so much. I hope they’re well.
Someone needs to make this into a movie or something lol It is like Book love lol
@@hi_its_ky0213genuinely i had to stop doing the dishes cause i was tearing up so much.
53:48 This sounds like a nonconsensual humiliation kink. I've heard of similar encounters. I heard one where the guy would go to a bar and try to hook up with a random girl while his girlfriend sat across the bar and watched. Once they started hitting it off the girlfriend would walk over and confront the girl and even rough her up a little while reclaiming her man. He would watch and enjoy his girlfriend humiliating the poor girl he had just been flirting with. Then they would leave and go have sex, having been turned on by the power dynamic and humiliating the girl. It's truly disgusting.
OP said she didn't even know this other girl existed, yet she was there eating dinner with him. And OP wasn't invited to dinner, just after dinner...because she wasn't the date, she was the entertainment. It could have started with the girl reading over his shoulder while they were messaging online. Maybe playing games like, "How long can you keep her in the conversation while I'm distracting you without her figuring it out?" Yuck.
It seems like meeting face to face was just the next level of this little game. They started out talking normally with her to pull her in, but then started doing inappropriate things in front of her to see how long they could get away with it without her leaving. If he hadn't been throwing things at her I might just think they were inconsiderate and not self aware, but throwing things seems like a deliberate way of oddly involving her to keep her from leaving. Then, they go to the girl's place, where it continued on an even higher level. The goal was to see how long they could keep her from leaving while working each other up over humiliating her. They may have even hoped she would stay while they had sex in front of her?
Humiliation kinks are very common and totally fine as long as it's consensual. Unfortunately, some people find it more exciting if the humiliated party is confused and helpless. They think that it's not real humiliation if it's consented to. These people are predators as far as I'm concerned. I'm completely disgusted. This experience sounds traumatizing. I hope OP is able to talk to someone irl and work thru it. No one deserves to be treated this way.
i wouldnt have been able to think up a way to explain that story so this seems like a pretty plausible explanation. its just so disgusting to take advantage of someone like that and use them as your little plaything while they are none the wiser. sick people.
That last story has such a cathartic arc. Thank you third party friend for being a real one.
the third story is so adorable what 😭😭😭 it doesn't sound like he's fetishing her at all, he's genuinely in love with her for being her TRUE SELF and is attracted to her bc she's happy and confident in herself... my heart 💜
If you check on social media, there are extra updates made up by fans of the story
19:36 Courtney and Anthony’s reaction to Shayne being shocked by immediately turning to each other I’m sync and all was just *mwah* chef’s kiss
Shayne was pretty ballsy to tell his boss to his face that he dropped his company computer during a video. Unless he’s working for another company outside of his acting.
For the ice-throwing dude, I may have watched too many rom-coms, but it felt to me like he was trying to make her jealous. He may have liked her as more than a friend, but didn’t want to make the first move until he knew how she felt, so he concocted all these situations to force a reaction out of her. He didn’t contact her after she flew all the way to his city ‘cause he wanted HER to contact him first. And when she finally did, he roped another girl into his scheme to make her jealous that his attention wasn’t on her. Then I think he kept prolonging the situation ‘cause he wasn’t getting the response from her that he wanted. And when she went home without any further interactions, he was probably too embarrassed to admit that he got “rejected” by her, so he just decided to cut her off completely.
When you put it that way it almost makes sense except he's a 33 y/o dude with the emotional intelligence and resilience of an 8 y/o, and/or a literal psychopath who simply doesn't give a shit about humiliating his former friend...
Makes you think about what some romcom movies are painting as romance 😅 this guy needs therapy asap!
Good call dude... this guy is a nightmare due to immaturity
The guy is probably an "Alpha" and a Tate fan if he ignored her for that long, made up weird mating ritual bs, then flirted with another woman to try to make her see he was a "real man" and a good catch. The dismissal after the rejection fits too. Glad she got away
They sounded like swingers that can't communicate
edit: lol nvm, he's pathetic
I think fleeing the state in shame because someone heard you weren't the best at sex is probably an issue to speak to a therapist about.
It should not feel so deeply shameful that you can't even face your friends again.
I think people are underestimating what she must have said about him. Also to find out your childhood BFF who you see as a sister, knows your dirty dark shame? Chances are he was already very insecure and she made it forever worse. I can't believe how insensitive people are to this man 😢 I guarantee if a man was critical of his gf's head game to his friends, all these opinions would be flipped
From the story (alone), it seemed like she only mentioned it once/rarely & very briefly. But I get why it would be disturbing for the dude. BUT if I was the guy and I was serious about the relationship, I'd just ask the gf to not talk about it with her friends AND find solution to that problem, ya know, like an adult
@@Stellaacee This! Totally valid for him to not like her talking about it. They both don't seem to communicate well where their boundaries are. But even people who communicate well will stumble in to situations where both of their "Obvious line in the sand" unknowingly is different to each other. How you handle it is what matters most. The adult thing is communicating that you felt really bad about her saying that and talking about where both of you draw the line on that issue. If she continues doing it, yes, really a-holeish. But instead of communicating they both just dug in their heels and he pulled a nuclear option.
@@hernameispekka_Rebecca 100% agree, it really does come down to honesty, trust, and communication.
@@GuineaParentspeople do that already.
'twirls her vine' lol courtney with the gold
I love how insecure that guy was about his fiance telling his friend about his sex life and then he tells the “entire internet”
For the story about the guy with the ice-cubes:
I think that with the rise in awareness of gaslighting (which is, of course, a good thing to be aware of) we have forgotten it's grandaddy, the og (on the internet at least) toxic "get anyone you want to fall for you" sleezy move: negging.
For anyone needing a refresher, negging is a "strategy" that was mainly popularized by "pick-up artists" in the mid~late 2000s to early 2010s, and consisted of basically mixing gaslighting with as much physical harassment as you could manage to get away with. It's a truly disgusting practice that has so many weird and absolutely gross methods for men to use on people they are...interested in, be that complete strangers or those they know, and I think that's exactly what that guy was doing. Having his friend visit but then inviting this other girl and only paying attention to her and not his friend who traveled for him, but still buying her drinks and giving minimal acknowledgement whenever she seemed fed up with his treatment, and then escalating to throwing stuff at her every so often to see how much sh!t she would tolerate....yeah, that sounds EXACTLY like negging to me. What an absolute POS that guy.
Had a senior (I was a sophomore at the time) constantly harassing me when we would see one another (we were both in marching band and had some of the same friends). I finally had enough one day at lunch and went off on him. "What the hell is your problem? What have I ever done to you?"
I learned later he liked me. I laugh at how mature I thought I was back then (I'm 43 now) but I said something to our mutual friends about how we aren't elementary school kids. If he liked me, he should have just told me.
The stupidest thing? The year before I had a major crush on him. But then he acted like such a jerk to me, it was almost instant dislike.
I’ve never heard of that, but that is definitely what was happening.
@@amandabriscoe6578I feel like men heard so much about how they should be rude to their crushes so that they will at least acknowledge them that they just think that it’s normal for some reason. Also some guys think that women like awful men like that too.
That's not what negging or gaslighting are. Negging is making negative comments or backhanded compliments to attack the self esteem of someone. Gaslighting is when you try to make someone doubt their own reasoning or memory by misrepresenting past events.
@@broobit7540Yeah.. Negging is tearing someone down and make them doubt themselves while also attempting to make them desperate for your attention. Like dudes being like "Wow you'd be hot if you lost a couple pounds" or "You're prettier when you don't try so hard" etc those aren't even good examples but once you see it you'll never unsee it lol
Angela is right, "we have an update" would be a great shirt
Or just UPDATE. Maybe with the set design waves on it or even the chair. Could be really cute
@@hernameispekka_Rebeccaooh with the chair I’d buy
Or just "some comments here"
a little baby onesie ahha
yeah, it baffles me that we've had this series for more than a year now, maybe two, but Smosh still hasn't provided merch relating to the show. even Let's Do This had merch before it concluded.
Story with the childhood friends to lovers story arc IS WHAT I LIVE FOR
I’m really glad Shane’s wife can listen to Courtney’s husband’s stories so precious 😊
For the not best at sex story. What bothers me is that instead of asking his partner how he could improve and give her a better experience. He got pissy and called off the wedding. That is a huge red flag
Exactly!!! What also bothered me was how he “especially” didn’t want his sex life brought up in front of the girl best friend and how he mentioned her breakup with her boyfriend. Something seemed off with that. I feel he was looking for any reason to call off the wedding without looking like the bad guy.
Agreed, he soundedd so freaking whiny, such a crybaby
He literally begged his friend to tell him that stuff, don’t go looking for stuff you don’t want the answers to
@@makenzielash9450 yeah i really got the vibe he wanted to be with the friend. he seemed WEIRDLY focused on her.
Seriously, that's the part that pissed you off? Not the part that this person had just learned that in five years of committed relationship they hadn't been satisfying their partner sexually and instead of talking to him about it they shared it with their friends? Yes, if they had been in a relationship for two or three months, that should have been his reaction, 100% But five years?! Yeah, he is insecure but they are both beyond shitty at communication. Being unwilling to talk about something with your partner of five years, but telling it to your friends is also a HUGE red flag.
The “I’m in love with my best friend” story was so heartwarming 😭😭
"I told her it really wouldn't hurt me" (it hurt him immensely)
Bro, chill
Guy is a walking L. He needs to spend some time single and in therapy
25:23 that was a really nice pallet cleanser because 90% of this show are people being batshit crazy
The two of them getting so excited and squealing and gasping on the couch when Shayne said there’s an update is absolutely hilarious😂
What a great combo of listeners today
Story two about the pumpkin costume is the ONLY TIME IN MY LIFE I've ever actually felt like I needed to ask the question "Well what was she wearing" to figure out if she did something wrong or not.
Holy crap did I think this story was gonna go a different direction, *PHEW*!
Definitely made me have another trust issue to think about. Lmao
i feel like it didn't really matter if she was obviously going for pumpkin to steal the spotlight/BF. also she didn't deny it and said it was "just a joke" or like "just a group costume" after literally just lying about it. soooo yeah it was fked up regardless of how it looked. wild update though.
@@GeekProdigyGuy Bonkers story, right!? I was also blown away.
Good point about her lying about it, makes me remember her whole "I'm just gonna be a sexy cat"comment, and then came as a completely different outfit. How awful and passive aggressive.
When Shayne said he submitted the story I thought he wrote it lol
the first story about the mac book is why you always keep a paper trail. the more evidence you have in paper form the more likely youll win a lawsuit against you or against a company you are suing.
The falling in love with my best friend story made me cry. The way OP talks about her is so so beautiful, it really shows both the magic of trans joy and the different kinds of love that two people can experience
Literally the cutest shit ever 🥹🏳️⚧️❤️❤️❤️
Can I just say how cute it is that Shayne kind of shyly smiled when Courtney mentioned them being in a Corpse Bride couples costume?? They're too cute!
I think because Courtney was the one who had to deal with stalkers that he's letting them do all the talking about the relationship. He's probably glad that she feels safe enough to talk about it
Please give time stamp 🙏
@@KingofCurses-Sukunai didn't notice any shy smile but the corpse bride example is at 15:13
Can we talk about how Shayne’s shirt perfectly matches the background behind him 👏👏 10/10 color coordination 👌🤣
HELP I’m halfway through the video and just noticed Anthony’s cowboy mustache 😭
( it doesn’t look *bad* but it was a jump scare )
Since the theme is friendship I was fully expecting Ian to come in and kick Courtney off the couch.
Or just more and more cast to come onto the couch and no one acknowledge it lmao
Fr im sad Ian wasn’t here 😭
@@KingOfGaymes While I adore him, I'm glad Anthony is in more videos without him so he feels like a genuine part of the team again, not just Ians plus one.
This made me think Smosh should do a newly wed style game where it’s Shayne and Courtney vs. Ian and Anthony
@@GaryOPostleYES PLEASE!
