i understand what she meant though, in both videos people dress up as old people to promote an upcoming movie, but they’re two completely different videos overall
anthony refusing to let go of the baby kissing joke-despite it being stupid and such a reach-purely because it bugs ian and makes himself laugh, is SUCH a best friend thing
Unless it was a fever dream I think they discussed kiss currency in a video since Anthony came back and Courtney said they pitched it because they wanted to kiss all their coworkers 😂😂😂
I have to say I don’t think an Ian and Anthony podcast won’t work for the majority of viewers, mainly because Shayne and Amanda are now the staple smosh podcasters. Personally since both of them took over again smosh main channel sketches are not it, and it seems like they are trying to push themselves over the rest of the cast
Mourning about Flashback ending aside, listening to the story of the "Sex Turban" hat makes me realize just how much Shayne restrained himself when doing the "Dave Dilford of DEFY" bit.
It killed me cause it's him having an initial reaction of going "what the fuck that's gross, why'd we do it" and instantly switching to "wait, actually, that's just lore accurate" 😂
honestly brennan's opinion on the Kiss Curency is something I hadnt thought about and now I feel for him asdhjskdfkjdsf (that and the editor of course)
Bro, Sex Turban was a weirdly core memory for me in elementary-middle school. Being in class, humming, “it’s a turban made of sex” as a ten year old was the peak of comedy back then
imagine being a new employee there and not knowing about these videos at all. now they know where their work came from 😂 smosh has really come a long way lmao
It's very sad that it's ending, because it still has a lot of potential, but I will definitely be tuning in to whatever y'all are preparing. Special shoutout to Erin, the real MVP of the series, and Brennan and Marcus for their commentary (and nodding) this episode. Farewell, Flashback with Smosh 🫡
i really like the fact that they have been retiring different series on smosh before they get old or have a shark jump moment. it keeps things really fresh and fun and doesnt let anything get to a point where it feels tired
I completely agree. Too many IPs have no idea when they need to stop. As disappointing as the end may be, it's waaayyy better than running it past it's prime.
@@jesuschrist7010 Yeah I think the only stuff that should stick around for youtube channels that don't have a traditional 'end' are like fundamental parts of the content that make the channel what it is really. Because at least from what I've seen, diverging from what made your channel can harm its longevity, so it should only be done when there's no more content to be gained out of that avenue. TNTL has always been an improv outlet and Smosh Pit's flagship series, gameplay or now board game vids are a mainstay on the games channel, and while I don't personally watch the sketches they should probably also stay for the main channel. That probably sounds like common sense, but EIOYI was created in a weird era in comparison, had definitely outlived the trends, and didn't really line up with the channel's core focus anymore. It's a 20-teen era show, Garrett I do see as a sad loss as a byproduct of the show getting axed though. Especially with Smosh and Mythical being so interconnected I'm surprised he didn't end up there.
@@StraightYibbin because i don't really care if i get spoiled, just thought seeing these comments with no context is funny. plus youtube always shows you top comments on the preview anyway lol
I absolutely lost it at "Marcus nods enthusiastically" about the ABDL comment 😂 I knew it had something to do with Adult Babies, but I didn't know exactly what it stood for until now
I love that you guys kept saying "The brand" when the video used the images directly from the video game, which makes it obvious to anyone who has played it. The game is Smite, btw.
@@YTFlove4ever oh it most definitely felt more like a Challenge Pit series instead of regular Smosh content... But it started on main channel so I feel like if it comes back it will be on main channel again
While I love Flashback, it's easy to see they were losing steam on it. I just wish they held out so we could get a flashback with Olivia, Keith, and Noah. Would have been nice to give them the recognition and spotlights they deserve. Hopefully the podcast will do just that. Can't wait to see what they have in store for the main channel!
Thank you, Awesome Anthony and Incredible Ian! You both were always top-tier! And awesome outro song too! (And Gods in Real Life, I might've shared it with friends and a few family too. lol) Can't wait for new to come out! 👏🎬💖
37:15 I NEED this in gif form, Ian shouting *”CRIIIIIIIIINNNGEEEE!!!!”* like that 🤣 I’ll miss this show, but I’m so excited that they’re still gonna be doing *somethig* like it 🫶🏻 I’ll have to binge watch the whole thing again. Man, I can’t believe it’s been a full year! 🥹❤️
I think it's ending at the perfect time!!! There's not really much more they can watch without it getting stale. Though I could see them brining back flashback if they got another really important og guest (like Jenna or something)
If this is the final episode of Flashback with Smosh, then Ian and Anthony should continue the commentaries on all of the old Classic Smosh videos. They originally said they wanted to do Flashback so they could commentate on those videos before their memory fades away.
acting all shy about kissing each other when you were friends through puberty into adulthood, you have a bond most married couples could never achieve.
I really do hope that they guys will bring this series back. There are alot of things that would be so cool to look back on, original music vids. Boxman origins, and so much more. It's great for new smosh fans to see how the channel started and for older fans to see how far it's come. Honestly was my favorite series of the channels and hope it can come back again. There is so much they could go through like the content just makes itself
Sad that you're ending this series, it's been one of my favorite things to watch since Anthony's Smosh return. Hoping the new podcast will be just as good if not more!
The worst thing is that I still know the whole song of sex turban.. I still listen to it on Spotify when I’m listening to your other songs on shuffle and I can’t help but sing along… but I loved watching Anthony cringe at it
Honestly, the kiss currency sketch is pretty funny in theory, it's just awkward knowing they're all coworkers.
Exactly. The behind the scenes part of it is cringe, the internal stuff. The sketch is pretty funny
That was Defy, for you.
It would be super awkward and werid now, because they are the bosses and those are their employees, but back then they were on more equal footing
@@SonOfMutaactually Courtney pitched that idea
@@kmjkklalso it wasn’t Ian or Anthony’s idea
Erin: “you guys ripped off One Direction.”
Also Erin: *shows clip of One Direction doing something wildly different*
Both Smosh and One Direction did something you'd see on Impractical jokers. That's as close as the two things get lmao
i understand what she meant though, in both videos people dress up as old people to promote an upcoming movie, but they’re two completely different videos overall
And yet Jackass have been doing OAP pranks since Ian and Anthony were baby sized babies 😅
What movie was One Direction even promoting? Didn’t they try to make their own version of A Hard Day’s Night only for it to be cancelled or something?
@@Antifearnit was their where we are tour movie
Okay but that one brand deal they had where they dressed up as dragons and had to act out dragon sex was def the most cringe video in smosh history
wait what is this sketch called
My parents said if I hit 2k they'd buy mea professional camera begging you guys literally begging😂😂
@@yasirkhan11156Bad bot
@NajeebGamer99Bad bot
I think I remember that one! Wasn't that a Game Bang?
the overtime pay, drug deal, and homeless guy with the guitar bits for kiss currency were gold i’ll be real
Them saying they have been doing this show for almost a year proves time doesn't exist
Omg I thought it was just a few months ago

Anthony has been back for over a year. Time speeds by faster as you age
@@GarrettPDGA no he hasn't, take it back.
@@GarrettPDGA he hasn't, it's been only 11 months since the We Bought Smosh video
anthony refusing to let go of the baby kissing joke-despite it being stupid and such a reach-purely because it bugs ian and makes himself laugh, is SUCH a best friend thing
tbf it's not exactly a reach 😂 Ian literally called Cupid a baby, right before going to kiss him
Courtney pitching kissing currency makes so much sense - they wouldn't stop making the thumb puppets kiss lol
They also wanted a kiss version of Guess Who Slapped Me 😂😂 Court just loves kissing
Unless it was a fever dream I think they discussed kiss currency in a video since Anthony came back and Courtney said they pitched it because they wanted to kiss all their coworkers 😂😂😂
@@Allunastarr8that was real, I can second to seeing it
@@Allunastarr8 yeah, they discuss that in the Hot Ones game episode with anthony afaik
Olivia is such a real one😂, how many times has she had to kiss Anthony and Ian, and she’s STILL THERE
olivia doesnt work for smosh anymore
@@Vecordy she does, what do you mean
plus licking ians face in the sex turban video………
@Vecordy girl what!? yes she does 😭 shes just freelance(always has been) so shes not on as frequently as the rest of the cast
@@Vecordy if you haven't seen already, she was in the new family feud video
I’m really sad this is the last one. I love hearing the stories behind videos and seeing them react to the old vids
Nah fr, I really wanted to see more war stories, I love to see more og TH-camrs revisit old vids
I have to say I don’t think an Ian and Anthony podcast won’t work for the majority of viewers, mainly because Shayne and Amanda are now the staple smosh podcasters. Personally since both of them took over again smosh main channel sketches are not it, and it seems like they are trying to push themselves over the rest of the cast
@@CinemaJunkyBen ?? lol what? you're dreaming
@@CinemaJunkyBenIan was literally the one who was original podcast host so what you even talking about 😂
I think the insanely funny editing that goes on in the flashback is what I will mix the most.
Mourning about Flashback ending aside, listening to the story of the "Sex Turban" hat makes me realize just how much Shayne restrained himself when doing the "Dave Dilford of DEFY" bit.
100%
do you know what video shayne’s impression is in?
@@maddieemaee an Ian meets his exes video
ngl, the kissing one made me crack up. It's like a play on grandma asking for kisses in return for something.
Yeah or thephrase "steal a kiss", its hilarious in concept just really uncomfy when you recognizeall the actors lol
Love how genuinely heated Ian got during the "I called him a baby" argument
1:37 The immediate face drop at "Kiss Currency" is perfect
Anthony has finally begun to match Ian in his 'Divorced but never married Dad' aesthetic.
"Slapstick at its worst" is pretty mean but also super accurate for Defy-era Smosh lol
Gotta love how all the videos are from 2015-2017. You can really tell what Defy was putting them through
anthony being so visibly embarrassed by the kissing video is making me lose ittt 😭😭😭 his cheeks are bright red esp from the point he kissed ian on
"There is no where in the sex turban logic that said relatives wouldn't also want to have sex with you" absolutely killed me for some reason
It killed me cause it's him having an initial reaction of going "what the fuck that's gross, why'd we do it" and instantly switching to "wait, actually, that's just lore accurate" 😂
"But he's hundreds of years, if not centuries old."
-Erin "stuffed animals are worse than fleshlights" Dougle
I also love how she basically just said “but he’s hundreds of years, if not hundreds old.”
Yeah Erin has repeatedly had the worst takes on flashback.
Why did this take me so long to put together 😭
*dougal
Erin has said some real brain melting shit
Ian's reaction to most cringe is the laugh at it. It's gotta be deeply embarrassing before he actually cringes.
I noticed that as well. He nervous giggles instead
If he was shown his 2 truths, 1 lie with Pam, he'd cringe so hard that he'd shrivel up into a raisin
@@Scrofar That's a black hole of cringe. Wait, has Anthony seen that?
@@Zikar yes he has, he mentioned it when they did their own 2 truths 1 lie 😭
honestly brennan's opinion on the Kiss Curency is something I hadnt thought about and now I feel for him asdhjskdfkjdsf (that and the editor of course)
It's the fact that HE filmed this, it's a WILD reminder just how long he's been with the company.
@KingYuma_ Now, with a bit more spotlight on the crew, it's interesting thinking how many have stayed and how many have gone.
Bro, Sex Turban was a weirdly core memory for me in elementary-middle school. Being in class, humming, “it’s a turban made of sex” as a ten year old was the peak of comedy back then
YOU STOP THAT FINAL EPISODE RIGHT NOW BOYS
My parents said if I hit 2k they'd buy mea professional camera begging you guys literally begging😂😂
@@yasirkhan11156 Yeah I don't think they said that.
Seeing Ian laugh like this is definitely a sign that something within him has healed. I’m glad he found his way back to his best friend.
imagine being a new employee there and not knowing about these videos at all. now they know where their work came from 😂 smosh has really come a long way lmao
cringe aside I really admire their friendship, Ian and Anthony are just on the same brain wave. They get each other
It's very sad that it's ending, because it still has a lot of potential, but I will definitely be tuning in to whatever y'all are preparing. Special shoutout to Erin, the real MVP of the series, and Brennan and Marcus for their commentary (and nodding) this episode. Farewell, Flashback with Smosh 🫡
anthony looks like he runs an illegal carnival
Nice one
@@wiggletonthewise2141Nice one
As sad as the end of Flashback is, it’s crazy to think that only a year ago is when we got Smosh reunited and led by Ian and Anthony
31:53 there’s something about this trait of Ian’s that’s attractive.
“oh. guess I forgot” just no fucks given
But you never shared the story of the SHUT UP audio recording and all the different takes. 😭
They can always do that on the next podcast.
fr and they havent done top 10 ian's mom best moments too
Broken promises I say!!! But seriously, whatever the next podcast is, I hope sometimes they go over some old stuff there too
Then how you know it?
@@imhighbro they talked about it in an episode of Flashback and in a member's exclusive livestream.
Watching Ian put together "ABDL" and immediately losing his mind really got me. Sad this is the last episode, but I can't wait to see what's ahead!

As a man with a large vocabulary, I have to give Ian credit. He was on point this episode using assuage and saccharine in regular conversation.
I wonder if they'll bring back "Let's Do This" to fill in the Time Slot
Hoping for this
Or give us some more funerals soon

If this is the final episode of Flashback with Smosh, then Ian and Anthony should continue the commentaries on all of the old Classic Smosh videos. They originally said they wanted to do Flashback so they could commentate on those videos before their memory fades away.
As someone who didn’t watch any of old Smosh, I loved this series. I’m sad to see it go.
HELL NO WE WONT LET YOU END THIS SERIES!!! WE WAITED SIX LONG YEARS FOR THIS 😭
EXACTLY 😭
NOOOOOO PLEASE KEEP THIS SERIES GOING PLEASE I LOVE HEARING THE BACKSTORY FOR EACH VIDEO PLEASE
Glad that yall got to do these flashbacks. It's been really nice to relive these video's with Ian and Anthony
also, Kortney. Thank you for the all the Ianthony, and other than that I truly love your editing!
Erin Dougal’s comments are truly the gift that keeps on giving
acting all shy about kissing each other when you were friends through puberty into adulthood, you have a bond most married couples could never achieve.
This is unimaginable in a world after covid. Also Courtney doing all the kissing and Olivia taking it all
Anthony losing it at "my ancestors were oppressed" made my whole day, man.
XD the kiss one looks like an HR nightmare, if it was posted today
the editor roasting the hell out of ian with "everyone who kisses ian"
I live for these Flashbacks, so sad it’s over :(
The direction this show was able to go was incredible. Really sucks seeing it end here.
Erin slowly becoming the 3rd Smosh owner, the way they look at her for confirmation is so cute
Whatever it is, I hope it's just Ian and Anthony mainly cuz we need more content of you two as a duo, guys, pleaaasee!
NO THERES SO MANY MORE VIDEOS TO REACT TO 😭 we too many have smosh abandonment issues for this!
Kudos to the editors for the side notes and comments on the screen. 😆
the drug deal bit in kiss currency is honestly SO GOOD. and keith’s delivery is amazing HAHAHAH
Anthony really looked like he was second guessing buying back Smosh after watching that brand deal video.
Kortney making Ian monochrome in embarrassment was the best fucking edit I've seen in a minute.
I love when she does that! She did a similar edit on shayne in a games video! Kourtneys editing is so good and has so much personality
The way that original song at the end made me tear up.
At 31:32, as soon as Anthony said "and I need to sit through this monstrosity for how long?" I got a suicide hotline ad. lol
Final episode?! I feel like we've barely scratched the surface!
I really do hope that they guys will bring this series back. There are alot of things that would be so cool to look back on, original music vids. Boxman origins, and so much more. It's great for new smosh fans to see how the channel started and for older fans to see how far it's come. Honestly was my favorite series of the channels and hope it can come back again.

I'm jealous of how follicularly talented they both are in the moustache area
This show has so much more potential and this was the best episode! Please bring it back there's so many more years worth of videos to discuss!
When Ian doesn't know how the game works, I get 2 truths 1 lie PTSD.
Sad that you're ending this series, it's been one of my favorite things to watch since Anthony's Smosh return. Hoping the new podcast will be just as good if not more!
The worst thing is that I still know the whole song of sex turban.. I still listen to it on Spotify when I’m listening to your other songs on shuffle and I can’t help but sing along… but I loved watching Anthony cringe at it
I loved watching Ian honestly laugh at it. Like he seemed to actually be getting a kick out of it.
I love that these were all the same year
8:54 them keeping in the silence here made me laugh so hard I genuinely slapped my knee. A true kneeslapper. I don''t know why it got me so good!
I really enjoyed these flashback episodes, I know this is the last one but thank you for making them!
COME BACK EVERYONE!! KEEP FLASHBACK GOING!!!
Court just wanted kisses from all their friends ❤😂😂
Watching them just trying to make each other laugh is so beautiful and inspiring
Can I just say I love Erin and her sense of humor. Eirn, Josh, and Bailey are my favorite non cast people in smosh that I've seen much of.
i pray flashback will continue in occasion, every once in a while.
