@doom3798 Angela is so annoying, she's more annoying than toddlers. There's a preschool nearby and the toddlers aren't annoying half the time, Angela's always annoying imo
29:35 I love how Damien asked if it was okay to curse in the podcast after reading a two sentence story about the devil giving infinite head to a dude.
The fact is that I genuinely think that Shane might actually introduce Amanda to websites where she can read horny demon stories. Which is both hilarious and heartwarming
Two sentence horror for Shayne: The doors opened to an empty elevator. When I went to press my floor, I saw the speed-walking grannies in the distance.
I had just listened to that part when someone started talking about the weather with me and I just said "but we needed it" and they were like "Yeah!" and I got a good grade in small talk thanks to Damien
Amanda saying ‘STOP, NOW’ and Damien just going ‘well that’s the end of the story I have to’ dude I was trying not to laugh on my train so badly, Damien’s comedic timing is perfect
Damien is such a beautiful soul. I have autism and adhd (like so many in the chat here) and it’s so refreshing to hear someone speak so eloquently and openly about mirroring. That “idiot I wasn’t even mentally there” had me absolutely howling.
Yeah, I guess. I don't know, that mirroring stuff just seems like he's using normal, basic, social skills and techniques to me. Isn't that kinda what most people do?
@@desmondcoppin591In a lot of ways, yes, but for autistic people it’s often way more of a conscious thought. The average non-autistic might just automatically mirror people and go on with their day, but an autistic person who socialises differently might be far, FAR more aware of their mirroring, or it might be a conscious effort to mirror (in my case, for example), or someone might be so prone to mirroring that they have to dial it back in case it comes across as mocking the other person.
@zap_collection6511 I mean a lot of mental disorders overlap with autism and just ASD in general, so you could well be neurodivergent depending on other traits shown
Damiens biggest fear, being misunderstood, makes alot of sense for how well spoken he is, he must put alot of effort into making sure hes always talking clearly, both audibly and intent wise
as someone with adhd and possibly autism i relate to that so much bc I'm always overexplaining myself to make sure nothing is being misinterpreted or misunderstood
Gotta love Damien straight up giving the autistic secrets for dealing with small talk by following the rules that neurotypicals just typically understand but aren’t conscious of.
@marley6984 I relate to what Damien was saying alot but I can't bring myself to play that game. I don't feel like I should have to if it makes me uncomfortable. In my opinion, it's just as inconsiderate to expect everyone to want to small talk, as it is to not want to small talk.
@@sethamphetaminess I totally agree. For me personally, I'm a dental nurse. Do small talk is extremely important for putting people at ease in a stressful situation.
Hundreds of dead mice, and dolls that make noise on their own? Damien literally grew up in a haunted house and never noticed. That demon was probably so frustrated.
This feels almost like a sitcom I would watch lol. Just kid Damien finding clown dolls and befriending crows and doing neurodivergent shit while the demons trying to haunt his house and getting increasingly frustrated by his lack of attention to it
@@caffeineandmemes i need a show where a BUNCH of demons just continuously try to haunt this guy and he's just absolutely chill with it, no cares whatsoever. they think he's just oblivious the whole time but in the final episode he would reveal that he knew the whole time and either just ignored it or wanted to be nice to them
Or ghost adventures, I would love to see the idiots going “WOAH!! That was such a ghost!!!” And Damien in the background, unflinching saying “guys it’s just a common fruit bat, it’s cool and important to the ecosystem. Thanks bat!”
@@arianamaria_ I would say a LARGE LARGE chunk of ND people would not be a riot 💀 schizophrenics, ocd peeps, and those with mood based personality disorders would not be a riot, they would cause one.

That's how you make friends with a demonic entity, you show it care and compassion when it has clearly been neglected. Then it'll, like, traumatize your bullies for you or something.
I don't get "we can't joke about that". Like yeah, don't forget the actual events and remember them to not repeat the past. But a great way to keep things in our mind is to make jokes about it. It's also a great way to help things find their place.
@@DaTimmeh I totally agree w u and not really with Amanda however I’m thinking it probably has something to do with wherever and/or whenever she grew up. Because I remember where and when I grew up it was really treated like something not to joke about and the first time I saw the take that it is ok to joke about it, it did surprise me in a way
26:55 The devil giving infinite head story being a turn on for Amanda is SO much funnier since I watched the Smosh D&D episode before this & was immediately like "well that explains Dolores' obsession w/ Gunther 🤣🤣🤣☠️☠️☠️"
55:27 Shayne: “You don’t know Five Nights at Freddy’s so you are not scared” Amanda: “I’m not scared at all” 10 months later: Oh Amanda, my sweet summer child
This is such a good video to watch when you’re sleep deprived and have been studying geology for six hours. “I went to the beach that makes you old. I got old.” Just hits so much more at half brain capacity
I could be wrong, but its a blessing and a curse to be so self aware. (Sorry Damien I’m with you brother) but the worst part is, as well as you can articulate your feelings and apply logic and reasoning to situations, you’ll also be able to blame your own actions/look for your mistakes in a conflict. At the end of your day you’re your worst enemy
@@alexlamarche5730 Yeah I agree, I’m a lot mentally healthier myself but sometimes it’s hard for me to fix an issue. I’m very good at identifying the issue, applying logic and rationalising it but when it comes to fixing the issue I come up blank.
Damien's "well that's the end of the story i have to" to Amanda's "STOP NOW" is by far my favorite thing in the entire world now and i will be using it 24/7 😭
We need to unpack the fact that Damien said 40:28 "A subclass of clowns that spec'd into murder" like that's just a typical path all clowns face choose over balloon animals or tightrope.
I love that they cut between Amanda talking about how 9/11 is an untouchable topic to Damien still kinda laughing, which in my mind, implies one of them made such a good 9/11 joke that they couldn't keep it in.
The clown boat joke killed me. I want a movie horror-comedy where they keep thinking they've escaped the clowns, then, like, a tiny door opens an clowns just pour out of a cabinet.
Amanda saying in front of Damien that DnD is like the biggest joy in her life right now when he's sort of the catalyst for her playing at all is so wholesome. Imagine how good it must feel to bring joy to Amanda's life? haha I love them both so much.
11:08 the neurodivergent mirroring, scripting, and genuine kindness is my fav part of this podcast so far. I LOVE YALL SO MUCH my adhd social worker brain can’t stop loving on all of you
I love when Damien talks about this stuff. I feel like neurodivergent people don't talk about it that much and you often feel like you're on your own with that stuff
Damien describing his fear of being misunderstood is literally on point to my personal experience with growing up with autism I swear, he’s so good at describing things- him having autism makes so much sense now.
I relate to Damien's fears of being misunderstood so much. As a kid, some people would get really angry at me where I really couldn't understand why. It always stuck with me.
The biggest thing I had to learn was that it’s my responsibility to do my best to communicate well with someone, but it’s their responsibility to tell me if they’re upset. That boundary saved my sanity.
@@jenklassen3233 This is exactly how I see it, if you feel uncomfortable or angry at something I said, just EXPLAIN WHY WITHOUT IMMEDIATELY YELLING AT ME! LOL!
Same. I grew up undiagnosed autistic and every day was just no one understanding me and me not understanding why. And I would have meltdowns and a lot of the time caused by my own mother having a meltdown. And yet I was always labeled the monster child. My family had jokes about me exploding and when I tried to explain why they just told me "nah you just got anger issues duh."
Last year I found out someone who I genuinely thought was my friend has actually always been super uncomfy around me and I sobbed 🫠 They never said anything and social cues aren’t always my strong point so I had no idea until somebody else told me.
Every time I see and learn more about Damien I’m like, damn, this is a legit cool guy. I mean this as a compliment: He absolutely reeks of years of therapy in the best way. Someone who has gone through and learned so much about themself and how to convey themself clearly. Plus? Funny af.
I know, right? I don't want to sound parasocial but I love him and know we'd be great friends in real life 😅. He's so precious, he reminds me of a good friend of mine so that's probably why I keep feeling love for him.
I think Damien is genuinely the funniest person in the group in terms of straight up jokes, maybe other than Tommy. The others are funny in their own ways, but Damien just kills me with like a single well timed sentence all the time.
@@nalahd166 It's meant to be where you upload/read stories but fanfics are the easiest to pump out and more sought after casually so any website becomes a fanfiction hub.
The “poor little thing” is so real for neurodivergent people, I used to sleep with my bed covered in stuffed animals when I was a little kid because I didn’t want any of them to be offended that they weren’t chosen for my bed lol
Maybe not the same, but this is kinda why I ALWAYS go for the "last item on the shelf" when shopping. Maybe it's the last donut or the last laundry detergent, but I snatch it up because I don't want it to be left alone. Or maybe I'm just too empathetic??
I have a question. Is this like specified for those types of conditions, I often catch myself mirror friends online and in person but I panic and don't know what to do when two different friends I act totally different around come together cause idk what to do.
@KoiSplash-wk5tm This sounds like a potentially amazing situation. You'd either have to be yourself, or you'd have to choose one of their personalities to copy, and hopefully that would lead to a comical situation. On the other hand, it could make you seem ingenuine to at least one of them. It would make for an interesting experiment if nithing else.
@@KoiSplash-wk5tm it's a symptom. mirroring people can often be confused with/infused in code-switching. doing this doesn't necessarily mean you are autistic. i think, to a greater extent, when you are autistic it's very subconscious. or, on the other hand, it can be a love language. autism is a big spectrum. there's a lot of overlap with other neurodivergences.
I always go back to this episode every once in a while because the two horror sentence stories were interesting alone, but having Damien as a guest in this (and anytime) is always a delight.
I opened the SmoshCast and start listening to the second episode, thinking I was safe. Then a whisper came from the pipes; “Your not safe” said the Podcast Stabber.
That's a two sentence horror story right there: Damien was having a great time on the podcast with his friends Shayne and Amanda. Until he told the story of the clown in the attic.
Honestly, I’m with Amanda with “Old Soul” being used as a good thing. Whenever I heard that phrase it was always depicted as “this person has more maturity for their age/more understanding” instead of “Oh, they’re boring”
I've mostly heard people use it to describe kids who like media and fashion from generations before their time, which I guess could go either way depending on one's perspective 😂
Yeah, I was called an old soul a lot. I could have serious conversations with people's parents. I've made friends with people's parents. I've made friends with my parents friends. 😂 Teachers? We're now Facebook friends. Didn't think it was weird to strike up a conversation with the adult woman sitting next to me when our elementary school class went to see a play. I think I was maybe 7. I even said goodbye and thanked her for the conversation. I didn't know that was weird. I get the feeling that a lot of NDs get called old souls. We mirror and aren't afraid to engage with people of any age. I remember reading something that said NDs are social chameleons and I feel like that's incredibly accurate.
Pediatrician here. I can tell a lot about a baby by looking into their eyes. “Old soul” is a beautiful thing; it definitely does not mean boring or weird. To me, old souls will save humanity. They have a deeper understanding and knowledge a collective past and they tap into the universal whole. These souls should be nurtured. 💕🐝💕
It's not meant as an insult, but young people who have the characteristics of an "old soul" usually are overly mature for their age, frequently as a response to childhood trauma. Which is something that young people who are called that often don't realize until they're older.

@@HayleyxWeir I mean, that’s a valid point, I chose that organization as I thought it felt better to see topics as grouped as possible… Like without grouping it’s basically just jumping from topic to topic but if other people agree I’ll change it for sure!!
I doubt anyone cares but Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close is about a son who’s father died in 9/11 and does star Tom Hanks. Amanda is probably thinking of the movie Wonder. Remember Me starring Robert Pattinson is the movie where the plot twist is revealed in the last five minutes that 9/11 is about to happen and the main character is standing in his father’s office looking out the window of the WTC. They’re all three different movies
"Golden Arm" is in the book Tomfoolery: Trickery and Foolery With Words, by Alvin Schwartz (and doubtless many other books). It's a book for kids with collected funny poetry, ghost stories, OLD jokes - it's wonderful.
My Grandmother told me the "Who's got my golden arm?" story many years ago...she would always do a jump-scare for the ending: "Who's got my golden arm? Who's got my gold....YOU GOT IT!!!" 😂I always thought she made it up!
Possessed Entity: *Exists* Damien: I shall adopt you and make you my child forever. That strangely made me love Damien even more. Great guest for this episode!
Idk if anyone thought of this already but the mice one could genuinely be creepy if you just change it a little. “He grew scared when he heard noises coming from inside his house. However, when he searched around, he was relieved to find the people in his walls were still dead.”
absolutely love the subgenre of smosh content where very online cast members explain internet humor to cast members who have clearly missed at least the last like 10 years of meme culture
Yeah. We all know he lay in bed the night after this going over everything he said and thinking "stupid stupid stupid! Oh but then I made them laugh, that was good!"
Based on the description, I think my grandmother had the same clown doll that tilted its head in a circle and played a music box version of "it's a small world" 😂 it was just this cute lil guy in a rainbow suit and rainbow hat
Amanda is the Deadpool of Smosh, where every video everyone is just regularly talking around a table as Amanda is constantly staring the camera dead in the eyes, breaking the 4th wall 😅
this ep made me realise im a lot like damien and i didnt even realise. the whole fear of being misunderstood, that makes so much sense and i didnt even realise that was a fear. but i totally get it.
Damien counseling shayne and amanda on social anxiety on the elevator was the sweetest thing. It reminds me of his twitch streams when he helps people with anything theyre going through. Hes just so sweet. Also I think he should start a podcast helping people and he could call it Helping People as an Anime Character podcast. He could dress up as his favorite anime character and help people with their problems.
Since the announcement of Anthony and Ian buying Smosh I’ve just been feeling this new wave of energy and enthusiasm from the cast in each video! I love it jerk yo the good work guys
Two sentence horror story: Shayne was alone on the Try Not to Laugh set when the red telephone rang. He picked it up; it was his favorite pizza place. (Seriously though this was so much fun to watch!! It felt like being at a sleepover and laughing way too hard at the most ridiculous things- I love it so much!)

@@alexlamarche5730 Yeah I agree, I’m a lot mentally healthier myself but sometimes it’s hard for me to fix an issue. I’m very good at identifying the issue, applying logic and rationalising it but when it comes to fixing the issue I come up blank.
Damien's "well that's the end of the story i have to" to Amanda's "STOP NOW" is by far my favorite thing in the entire world now and i will be using it 24/7 😭
Time stamp?☺️
31:16
We need to unpack the fact that Damien said 40:28 "A subclass of clowns that spec'd into murder" like that's just a typical path all clowns face choose over balloon animals or tightrope.
Its the forbidden path
I mean, JWG was a part of the clown murderer thing. And that's pretty internationally known 🤷🏼♀️
I love that they cut between Amanda talking about how 9/11 is an untouchable topic to Damien still kinda laughing, which in my mind, implies one of them made such a good 9/11 joke that they couldn't keep it in.
We DEFINETLY need an Episode for Creepypasta and especially with Damien, it would be AMAZING
I second this. Who do we need to talk to to make this happen??
This is a great idea
The clown boat joke killed me. I want a movie horror-comedy where they keep thinking they've escaped the clowns, then, like, a tiny door opens an clowns just pour out of a cabinet.
I just picture the scenes in world war z where hundreds of zombies are flooding a city but it's clowns pouring out of a tiny car
That's such a good image, thank you for implanting it in my mind @@sheepmc3295
Amanda saying in front of Damien that DnD is like the biggest joy in her life right now when he's sort of the catalyst for her playing at all is so wholesome. Imagine how good it must feel to bring joy to Amanda's life? haha I love them both so much.
11:08 the neurodivergent mirroring, scripting, and genuine kindness is my fav part of this podcast so far. I LOVE YALL SO MUCH my adhd social worker brain can’t stop loving on all of you
I love when Damien talks about this stuff. I feel like neurodivergent people don't talk about it that much and you often feel like you're on your own with that stuff
Isn't that what everyone does? That's just like basic social skills.
Well yea thats the point. Some people have to put effort in @@desmondcoppin591
Damien describing his fear of being misunderstood is literally on point to my personal experience with growing up with autism I swear, he’s so good at describing things- him having autism makes so much sense now.
I relate to Damien's fears of being misunderstood so much. As a kid, some people would get really angry at me where I really couldn't understand why. It always stuck with me.
The biggest thing I had to learn was that it’s my responsibility to do my best to communicate well with someone, but it’s their responsibility to tell me if they’re upset. That boundary saved my sanity.
@@jenklassen3233
This is exactly how I see it, if you feel uncomfortable or angry at something I said, just EXPLAIN WHY WITHOUT IMMEDIATELY YELLING AT ME! LOL!
Trying to explain to a parent who never learned to listen is terrifying. I'm 34 and I'm still an over explainer because of my mother
Same. I grew up undiagnosed autistic and every day was just no one understanding me and me not understanding why. And I would have meltdowns and a lot of the time caused by my own mother having a meltdown. And yet I was always labeled the monster child. My family had jokes about me exploding and when I tried to explain why they just told me "nah you just got anger issues duh."
Last year I found out someone who I genuinely thought was my friend has actually always been super uncomfy around me and I sobbed 🫠
They never said anything and social cues aren’t always my strong point so I had no idea until somebody else told me.
Y’all have to have a creepy pasta episode with Damien back as a guest.
YES
OMG YES
No
Yeeessss
Please I will be so happy
❤
Every time I see and learn more about Damien I’m like, damn, this is a legit cool guy. I mean this as a compliment: He absolutely reeks of years of therapy in the best way. Someone who has gone through and learned so much about themself and how to convey themself clearly. Plus? Funny af.
I know, right? I don't want to sound parasocial but I love him and know we'd be great friends in real life 😅. He's so precious, he reminds me of a good friend of mine so that's probably why I keep feeling love for him.
Agree, the more videos I watch that he's in, the more I'm like "I bet that if we were friends he'd make me feel so safe"
I think Damien is genuinely the funniest person in the group in terms of straight up jokes, maybe other than Tommy. The others are funny in their own ways, but Damien just kills me with like a single well timed sentence all the time.
Za wit
"i went to the beach that makes you old. I got old." and "It only 5 night, It only five night. Freddy Fazbear." absolutely killed me.
Okay, but Damien telling Amanda to go on Wattpad was a great little moment. I love Damien!
I feel dumb, what is Whattpad?
@@brittanyzahn7939it’s a fanfiction app
@@laneyloowellscan't believe that's what people think of wattpad these days
@@nkechi4635it is what it is
@@nalahd166 It's meant to be where you upload/read stories but fanfics are the easiest to pump out and more sought after casually so any website becomes a fanfiction hub.
The “poor little thing” is so real for neurodivergent people, I used to sleep with my bed covered in stuffed animals when I was a little kid because I didn’t want any of them to be offended that they weren’t chosen for my bed lol
Omg same. My bed was full of stuffed animals, and I still sleep with five of them even though I'm soon 30 lol.
Maybe not the same, but this is kinda why I ALWAYS go for the "last item on the shelf" when shopping. Maybe it's the last donut or the last laundry detergent, but I snatch it up because I don't want it to be left alone. Or maybe I'm just too empathetic??
I got in trouble as a kid for bringing all my beanie babies on a trip (instead of clothes and whatnot) but I felt so guilty leaving any of them out.
I used to beat the shit out of the ones I had to tire myself and sleep easier.
I didnt have stuffed animals, instead i did that with my PILLOWS
at 11 minutes i love Damien just explaining that he has autism and autistically mirrors others in social settings as a way to communicate with people
Man, Damien needs to stop being so relatable or I need to book an appointment with my therapist xD
I have a question. Is this like specified for those types of conditions, I often catch myself mirror friends online and in person but I panic and don't know what to do when two different friends I act totally different around come together cause idk what to do.
@KoiSplash-wk5tm This sounds like a potentially amazing situation. You'd either have to be yourself, or you'd have to choose one of their personalities to copy, and hopefully that would lead to a comical situation. On the other hand, it could make you seem ingenuine to at least one of them. It would make for an interesting experiment if nithing else.
@@KoiSplash-wk5tmI usually combine both personalities and focus on traits or interests the two people share since I know them both already
@@KoiSplash-wk5tm it's a symptom. mirroring people can often be confused with/infused in code-switching. doing this doesn't necessarily mean you are autistic. i think, to a greater extent, when you are autistic it's very subconscious. or, on the other hand, it can be a love language. autism is a big spectrum. there's a lot of overlap with other neurodivergences.
I always go back to this episode every once in a while because the two horror sentence stories were interesting alone, but having Damien as a guest in this (and anytime) is always a delight.
I want to give Damien a big hug. Just really respect his authenticity and vulnerability here.
amanda's increasing panic and "i doN'T GET IT!!!?!"s are killing me someone give her a hug
I opened the SmoshCast and start listening to the second episode, thinking I was safe. Then a whisper came from the pipes; “Your not safe” said the Podcast Stabber.
Shayne finding the funny two sentence horror instead of the scary ones and not explaining what he’s doing is great. 😂
“Not Kill You Man” has me choking and sputtering and crying and pissing
Shayne's laugh gives me energy. Amanda being confused about what's going on around her gives me joy. Damian is hot as hell.
That's a two sentence horror story right there:
Damien was having a great time on the podcast with his friends Shayne and Amanda. Until he told the story of the clown in the attic.
I mean Damien was still having a great time it was Amanda who wasn't anymore 💀
Okay but we need more semicolons lol
Just swap Damien and Amanda and change "he" to "Damien" and voila.
Damian took me out when he said, "I have to. That's the end of the story. They didn't get up and start dancing." 😂
I've never agreed more with Amanda than when she said that Damiens deep voice is hot ngl 👀
It issss 😭😭
50:46 😳 that was even deeper than when Amanda said it was hot 🫣
@@IhoppeSmuriffAnd the sigh after 🤭
@@Mari_PLYesss
The deep voice absolutely D O E S it for me
28:37 Amanda accidentally made the prompt way funnier by switching Michael Jordan with Michael Jackson! 🤣🤣🤣
For anyone in a hurry, the two sentence horror starts here
19:05
thank you
Honestly, I’m with Amanda with “Old Soul” being used as a good thing. Whenever I heard that phrase it was always depicted as “this person has more maturity for their age/more understanding” instead of “Oh, they’re boring”
I've mostly heard people use it to describe kids who like media and fashion from generations before their time, which I guess could go either way depending on one's perspective 😂
Thanks! It's the trauma! 🎉
Yeah, I was called an old soul a lot. I could have serious conversations with people's parents. I've made friends with people's parents. I've made friends with my parents friends. 😂 Teachers? We're now Facebook friends. Didn't think it was weird to strike up a conversation with the adult woman sitting next to me when our elementary school class went to see a play. I think I was maybe 7. I even said goodbye and thanked her for the conversation. I didn't know that was weird.
I get the feeling that a lot of NDs get called old souls. We mirror and aren't afraid to engage with people of any age. I remember reading something that said NDs are social chameleons and I feel like that's incredibly accurate.
Pediatrician here. I can tell a lot about a baby by looking into their eyes. “Old soul” is a beautiful thing; it definitely does not mean boring or weird. To me, old souls will save humanity. They have a deeper understanding and knowledge a collective past and they tap into the universal whole. These souls should be nurtured. 💕🐝💕
It's not meant as an insult, but young people who have the characteristics of an "old soul" usually are overly mature for their age, frequently as a response to childhood trauma. Which is something that young people who are called that often don't realize until they're older.

These are incredibly detailed, I love it! Thank you!!!
Thank you!!!!!!
Super helpful, thank you!
(This is a me problem not a you problem) but them not being in time chronological order makes it really hard to read/understand, but again that's a me being dumb problem vs a you being very detailed and clear problem
@@HayleyxWeir I mean, that’s a valid point, I chose that organization as I thought it felt better to see topics as grouped as possible…
Like without grouping it’s basically just jumping from topic to topic but if other people agree I’ll change it for sure!!
Amanda is such an aunt, I love her
lmao this is so specific
She has an old soul 😂
I doubt anyone cares but Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close is about a son who’s father died in 9/11 and does star Tom Hanks. Amanda is probably thinking of the movie Wonder. Remember Me starring Robert Pattinson is the movie where the plot twist is revealed in the last five minutes that 9/11 is about to happen and the main character is standing in his father’s office looking out the window of the WTC. They’re all three different movies
"Golden Arm" is in the book Tomfoolery: Trickery and Foolery With Words, by Alvin Schwartz (and doubtless many other books). It's a book for kids with collected funny poetry, ghost stories, OLD jokes - it's wonderful.
LMFAO i just imagine shayne at the doctor’s office filling out his medical history forms and sweating profusely
I love how supportive they are in Amanda's confusion
Gotta love Amanda explaining to Shayne and Damien that once upon a time, stories were found in books.
My Grandmother told me the "Who's got my golden arm?" story many years ago...she would always do a jump-scare for the ending: "Who's got my golden arm? Who's got my gold....YOU GOT IT!!!" 😂I always thought she made it up!
“dad i made two new friends at school today,” my daughter excitedly said
my daughter’s homeschooled 🫵😳
I can't get over how much I love Damien like i love them all but he validates my existence and I wish we could be best friends lol
SAMEEEE
Damien is like me but with more autism and less ADHD. Too much considering and not enough damning the consequences.@@user-ud2xo6gp3m
have they done a bad two sentence horror story try not to laugh?!?! 😭 i need to see it happen bruh
Good idea!
I love hearing Shayne and Damien talk in these less structured/informal situations because it highlights how genuinely hilarious they are
The amount of joy I got hearing the “This dude’s eating beans” meme again is beyond compare. Sad that they didn’t get it tho
Me too! What a throwback
You eat all my beans??!!!
THIS GUY'S EATIN' BEANS!!!
YES i was heartbroken that none of them knew
i was gonna cooment this
I love how Shayne and Damien have such an immature humor (the best) and are great guys with big hearts. You guys rock.
“The lake didn’t had any fishes in it. Because all of the fishes were walking on LAND”
IM WHEEZING 💀💀💀💀
Damien is really preaching to the neurodivergent choir with this one
Amen
Likes small talk about the weather because there is a framework to the conversation that you can follow!
Legit when he was saying he mirrors the other person, coming from a autistic person who's been masking most of life , I felt that 😅
LITERALLY yes i love him i relate so much
One of us! One of us! One of us!
Possessed Entity: *Exists*
Damien: I shall adopt you and make you my child forever.
That strangely made me love Damien even more. Great guest for this episode!
poor clown~😢🥺 come down, here's a blanket ❤
I love Amanda hosting, she says whatever is on her mind and is so charming. No shame in not knowing wtf is going on lol
true
"that's such a turn on" - Amanda after hearing the most Wattpad horror story out there
Idk if anyone thought of this already but the mice one could genuinely be creepy if you just change it a little.
“He grew scared when he heard noises coming from inside his house. However, when he searched around, he was relieved to find the people in his walls were still dead.”
I put this on to fall asleep to, but now I'm laughing and my sleep deprivation is getting even worse. (Two sentence horror. Nailed it)
Haha sameee
absolutely love the subgenre of smosh content where very online cast members explain internet humor to cast members who have clearly missed at least the last like 10 years of meme culture
seems like i missed them too bc i totally relate to amanda here
Omg I love hearing Damien's thought process. It's so close to my own and it confirms why his jokes land for me so often.
Damien really speaks to the overly self-aware ADHDer within me 😂
Real
Yeah. We all know he lay in bed the night after this going over everything he said and thinking "stupid stupid stupid! Oh but then I made them laugh, that was good!"
Based on the description, I think my grandmother had the same clown doll that tilted its head in a circle and played a music box version of "it's a small world" 😂 it was just this cute lil guy in a rainbow suit and rainbow hat
I swear Damien is the most relatable person in smosh, like the whole "mirroring" thing is such a thing for me too!
Its literally a thing for everyone. That's what people do.
34:57 totally warmed my heart hearing Amanda and Damien talking about D&D - I've never played it but i can't wait to watch
27:31 Amanda and Shayne's in-unison laughter at Damien's normal statement LOL.
I’m glad I’m not the only one simping for Damien’s deep demon voice 😂
ME. TOO.!!
If he did an asmr spooky voice stuff.. 🥰
We need a smosh pit theatre of 2 sentence horror stories
God the dead mice thing could have been salvaged so easily.
Like first thing off the top of my head was "And that's when I heard the rattle"
implying rattlesnakes also in the walls???
Amanda is the Deadpool of Smosh, where every video everyone is just regularly talking around a table as Amanda is constantly staring the camera dead in the eyes, breaking the 4th wall 😅
Having Shayne explain the reddit to Amanda and then immediately choosing ridiculous ones is on brand.
I love Damien so much, he's so genuinely interested in other people and offers honest and polite advice or insight. Could listen to him for hours.
This trio is so funny and so easily its like the famous 3 stooges is so good- no hyperbole
this ep made me realise im a lot like damien and i didnt even realise. the whole fear of being misunderstood, that makes so much sense and i didnt even realise that was a fear. but i totally get it.
Damien counseling shayne and amanda on social anxiety on the elevator was the sweetest thing. It reminds me of his twitch streams when he helps people with anything theyre going through. Hes just so sweet. Also I think he should start a podcast helping people and he could call it Helping People as an Anime Character podcast. He could dress up as his favorite anime character and help people with their problems.
Since the announcement of Anthony and Ian buying Smosh I’ve just been feeling this new wave of energy and enthusiasm from the cast in each video! I love it jerk yo the good work guys
I’ve noticed that, too! I’m loving this new energy
Two sentence horror story: Shayne was alone on the Try Not to Laugh set when the red telephone rang. He picked it up; it was his favorite pizza place. (Seriously though this was so much fun to watch!! It felt like being at a sleepover and laughing way too hard at the most ridiculous things- I love it so much!)
14:15 Preach! I related 100%. Misunderstandings are the worst. Understood errors are fine. But miscommunication is so terrifying and uncomfortable.
I love when Damien is on anything because he's so funny and the tangents bring me copious amount of serotonin
