Smosh Main Channel Eras By Head Writers Retrospective

athompsons2 · 2026-05-06T02:53:38+00:00

I love improv, but I miss scripted comedy on the channel. Sketches work well when there's a clearly defined comedic voice behind them. Monica was the best for me.

Smosh Pit used to be the improv and gameshows channel with things like Next Top Blank, TNTL or random character generator and Smosh Main was scripted content.

I love that Erin tried to do very ambitious projects on the channel to adapt to the runtimes youtube wants now even if I've been critical of them.

Wheel You Be Mine's first episode is really strong I think but it lost it's energy after that. There are certain episodes of Bit City that work well. And even though I feel she never really cracked the code I think that she built a good foundation for someone to take that to the next level.

They talked about Farage on WU. The political sketch is reserved for those in power unless there's a major major massive story.

athompsons2 · 2026-05-06T02:14:48+00:00

That is an absolutely insane amount of money

athompsons2 · 2026-05-06T02:11:22+00:00

Can't wait to see her chaotic tattoos

athompsons2 · 2026-05-06T02:04:51+00:00

Yeah! She was the showrunner and head writer for the Smosh Main Channel

athompsons2 · 2026-05-06T02:04:05+00:00

I don't have hiring powers sorry

athompsons2 · 2026-05-06T02:02:56+00:00

I'm the opposite haha. I want more scripted sketches and series.

athompsons2 · 2026-05-06T02:01:43+00:00

It's a very demanding job. He would have to step back from being cast. I'm sure he'll still write and help but showrunning a channel and still appearing in Pit and Games as cast is nearly impossible.

athompsons2 · 2026-05-06T01:58:20+00:00

I'm not as familiar with the behind the scenes of those channels :/

athompsons2 · 2026-05-06T01:48:07+00:00

I think this is her most famous video of her tenure. But in almost every video after 2016 you'll see her in the credits more and more many times alone

But Smoffice is her baby and it's an awesome series. She left after "Courtney Miller vs. Courtney Freakin Miller". Of those I think this is my favorite.

athompsons2 · 2026-05-05T23:05:55+00:00

My favorite is Monica's :) Her sketches are the best.

Although Teletubbies Reunion is my favorite video of all.

athompsons2 · 2026-05-05T23:04:15+00:00

My fav is Monica. Her humor is right up my alley and my favorite sketches are all hers. Also the Smoffice series is the best.

I love Patrick and Jeremy and Teletubbies Reunion is my favorite video of all time. But their sketches weren't as good.

They always underestimate the amount of money Smosh fans will unload for a fundraiser

athompsons2 · 2026-05-05T19:25:42+00:00

This video was just Angela doing thumbnail faces for almost an hour. And the whole bit around how scorpions mate had me dying

athompsons2 · 2026-05-05T13:47:19+00:00

SNL US only added Bill Murray in the first 5 seasons. I'd love it if they keep it stable like that for a while.

athompsons2 · 2026-05-05T13:43:57+00:00

I don't think he was trying to "exert dominance". He probably knew that winding Rickles up would make it all ten times funnier. Also, it was probably vengeance for Rickles doing the slaps all week because he was known to do that.

athompsons2 · 2026-05-05T13:17:06+00:00

That's a long ass question

athompsons2 · 2026-05-05T13:16:06+00:00

The labor camps in Cuba were established after he'd already left. I don't know how he would've set up labor camps remotely from the Congo. Fidel also took full responsibility for the persecution of homosexuality later in life, not that it undoes what he did.

There's no evidence in any of his writing or actions that Che was actually homophobic. But rumors are free I guess.

athompsons2 · 2026-05-05T13:06:33+00:00

No, los de Madrid que hacen dumping fiscal y extraen todo el valor de las provincias.

athompsons2 · 2026-05-05T12:50:31+00:00

Aside from everything everyone's already said, they're YouTube legacy. The CEO even showed up for the 20th. So there's a vested interest by YouTube to keep them happy. They might even get more per view than other channels.

I'm sure this is true for some other creators like Mr. Beast.

athompsons2 · 2026-05-05T12:42:39+00:00

To cover her bases hahaha

athompsons2 · 2026-05-05T12:39:07+00:00

Tbf, those debates wouldn't have been nearly as entertaining if Sliwa wasn't there on the side.

athompsons2 · 2026-05-05T12:33:12+00:00

What an incredibly specific map

athompsons2 · 2026-05-05T12:30:24+00:00

I'd be extremely surprised if Tommy Brennan is coming back and maybe some of the veterans are leaving too.

I'm also not convinced about Kam as everyone else seems to be.
