30:53 Ian realizing they really were actually VERY popular back in 2013, so much so that their videos would get millions of views within days, and almost not being able to comprehend that is so funny
It’s funny cause of course they’ve always known they’re popular but they usually just talk about it in passing. Actually talking about it now got to him😭
Getting 5 mil views on 7 mil subscribers is pretty insane by current standards. It's incredibly rare nowadays for subscriber count to directly translate to views. Smosh has 26 mil subscribers now, and 5 mil is still a better performing video. Pewdiepie has over 100 mil subs, but a fraction of that in views.
Ian being like “yo they got girls generation?” Was the most surprising thing here what this man registers as something worth retaining information about is an enigma
I feel like Ian and Anthony don’t give themselves enough credit pioneering TH-cam! Like the fact that they had Lunchtime with Smosh and Mail Time with Smosh which is literally modern TH-cam today just mukbangs and creating super editing content of just hanging out with your friends. It’s so entertaining! And they pioneered it! I feel like if they did just vlog style stuff of them trying out food and going on target buying sprees it would completely FILL MY FANGIRL HEART. Like seeing Ian and Anthony just hanging out as best friends like they did back in the day would be crazy! And a lot of the new stuff today is just that. Plus Podcasts, drama channels, and etc. Keep the sketch comedy obviously but PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE BRING BACK LUNCHTIME WITH SMOSH
2013 was definitely the last time that TH-cam was under one community umbrella and then 2014 was the transitional year where everyone started to branch off into niches. Between 2014 and 2016 I mainly stuck to the Let’s Play community with Game Grumps, Markiplier, Jackscepticeye, and a lot of the more niche gaming channels.
Also the meta a decade later: Weird and annoying kids content where you’re like, “Why even allow babies and little kids on the internet to begin with?”
49:20 Erin panicking about people dressed as pedobear meeting children in 2013 and Ian cracking up at that?!?!?! THAT'S the duality of Smosh right there
The sense of community and everyone coming up together was definitely TH-cam wide, viewers included. You’d reference/quote a video IRL and an excited stranger would come up to you and share their own favourite lines.
You’re right. *if you were a friendly and fun person, you’d reference/quote a video in a real life social situation and other friendly and fun, excited people would come up to you and share their own favourite lines
I had a friend who I showed “the haunting” which is still my favorite old smosh video, and she and I would act out the scenes at each other from across the room during class 😂
My litmus test for friends back in school was often if they’d laugh at a weird ass TH-cam video or get a reference. Charlie the fucking unicorn was my vibe check 😅 but hey it did work in directing me to some of my favorite people. Now we ask what podcasts or streams we’re all watching lol
A little bit ago I was like "I thought I could turn off end card stuff?" I'm only just now realizing I was thinking about annotations! And youtubers would use them sometimes to make corrections to their videos because you couldn't edit an already uploaded video
The zoom ins always make me chuckle so much. Especially when Anthony says "yeah yeah yeah" or "mhm mhm". Video editor deserves so much credit for keeping attention.
@14:30 it’s because the 2010-2020 decade was the decade of “OMG I’M SO RANDOM HAHA LMAO!!!” humor, and what does the fox say capitalized heavily on that.
It’s just so over the top that it’s ridiculous. Which is fun, but can also get old when everything is now much more more than before. I think the ridiculous factor just is much less now a days because we have seen too much of high production silly stuff lately. Their other music has something more to them so they have stood the test of time a little better. I will say though. Ylvis are great live. I saw them the summer of 2013, and they killed it.
Early TH-cam reminds me of the good times crowding around an iPod touch with all your friends. TH-cam being smaller and having the community of peers at school made the experience of sharing videos with people in person something that we'll sadly never feel again. I'd say peak TH-cam was 2012 for me.
this just feels like nostalgia with friends in the best way (except that you know all those people irl lmao) also kourtney took me out with the "why the f you lying" meme sound,, the throwback?? ALSO THE MEMES AT 42:37 I CANT
sometimes i sit and think "oh did i like 2013 youtube because im clouded with nostalgia?" and then I rewatch it and laugh harder than anything ive watched in the last month
I personally feel most/best connected to the yt era of 2008-2011 but I can't pinpoint why. I, too, feel like 2013 was kinda the beginning of the end for "yt innocence" or fandom culture as we knew it generally, it then being really truly changed (and partly horribly so) in 2015/2016.
@@WishGenderme too but I was on the laterrr half of the year 2013, so I was all in for the most known or subscribed content creators (Felix, smosh, Ryan, ray william Johnson)
How old is Erin? I’m 22 but I remember exactly what Ian and Anthony are talking about with looking at channels and everything and she keeps asking about it like it was the stone ages
apart of it is probably intentional, to give exposition to stuff that ian and anthony, who have spent their whole adult lives on youtube, would could consider super obvious
When they were talking about old TH-cam i remembered the annotations and how annoyed i was when they used to put them over the whole screen and when Anthony brought that up later and how he hated it too and was just playing the game i damn near cried lmao, really brought back a lot of memories...
4:56 "Let's do this" mention. I'm activated and have to say that please bring back that show and reunions. They could work well on Pit now if they don't fit here!
The music in TH-cam rewind just hits me so hard in the nostalgia. I was 12, happy every day. I remember watching that video over and over. The cool winter breeze finally coming. Man.
2013 was the freaking BOMB! I remember I’d just started middle school around then. Ah, middle school, the best 3 years of my life. And if you ask me, the golden age of TH-cam was around 2008-2017, though it has seen a recovery in recent years, especially with Minecraft making a comeback in 2019 and you guys reuniting last year.

It's amazing how much the platform has changed over the years. Heck it's amazing how much Smosh has changed since then. Also how nuts is it that 2013 is over a decade ago?
I feel like majority of people my age (22) had the same exposure to TH-cam as I did. I was probably aware of TH-cam around 2010. Occasionally going on it, but never doing much in depth stuff. It wasn’t until 2012/2013 that I feel like a lot people jumped on board and became consistent viewers on the platform. As I remember always watching Smosh, Vanossgaming, and RayWilliamJohnson, Ryan Higa, etc. pretty crazy to see how different the platform is now and how a lot of creators have either dipped, been arrested/canceled, or moved onto bigger things from the platform. I feel like 2012/2013 was the Big Bang for TH-cam gathering such a massive audience and being taken seriously. As meme culture became very relevant as well, the internet was becoming a breeding ground.
also as a brazilian youtube viewer since 2010, seeing youtube starting to care about international creators was crazy, I remember when my favorite youtuber from Brazil showed up in rewind it was SO eventful, it was THE moment. love the video guys
that really was youtubes prime. creative wise and people wise. my god, the 2010s are long gone. last year of school and started working the following year, so i have a vivid memory of that time
