I love how Pyro defines time as before Far Cry 3 and after Far Cry 3

After all these years he's finally watched El Smosh, what an absolute mad man.

Jokes on you, Smosh was actually the first content I watched in english and gave me the ability to progress to movies and shows and now be pretty solid in english.

Funny fun fact as a latin random guy El Smosh actually had SUCH A SHITTY FUCKING DUB JESUS CHRIST IT WAS SO HORRIBLE so a lot of fans of a fandubber called Patrick Neluamn from Chile started emailing Smosh to replace the dubs with those he made, so a couple years later, Smosh finally heard their hispanic fans, fired fucking everyone from El Smosh and contract Patrick to do the voices. He removed the baner from the channel and changed everything, he did such an amazing work. Until he was fired out of nowhere, like, he woke up and saw a mail saying "Hey, you're fired, so is your team" and there was nothing he could do. He didn't do anything wrong, just that Smosh wasn't making enough money to keep paying everyone.

Pre-2010 youtube content is some of my favorite stuff to binge

Fred was a fever dream I swear

Stuff like this really makes me appreciate Jacksfilms even more. One of the few OG KZfaqrs who not only still makes content, but is still passionate about what he does and makes amazing stuff.

Early KZfaq was the Wild West, Equals 3, Smosh, The Creatures

Watching this just brings back memories of how stupid I was as a kid. I legitimately thought that smosh just owned an entire town for filming in. Idk why.

Fun Fact: These guys are listed on Wikipedia as Alumni of a local college near me, along with an infamous serial killer

As unfunny as old Smosh is by today's standards, it'll always hold a special place in my heart. There was something so genuine about how Ian and Anthony were just two guys who made stupid videos with each other, not for money, not for fame, but because they actually loved doing it.

I know it's cringe-ish today but old KZfaq has such a better vibe than new KZfaq. Obviously people were still going for views and hitting the lowest common denominator, but it felt like they were having fun and did ideas for the fun of it rather than having to hyper-specifically follow the same formula and walk on eggshells to avoid censorship/demonetization.

Some would call this… The Golden Era of KZfaq. Before the website went completely corporate, favoring big companies, and it was all about monetization and appealing the algorithm. Made worse for the people who want keep doing this as a full time job and having to resort to Patreon to be paid because KZfaq is very stingy when it comes to Ad Revenue. Don’t even get me started with the Copyright System, oh boy. Update: Yeah admittedly, looking back on old KZfaq as an adult, a lot of it hasn’t really age well. Especially the stuff that involved comedy due to how low quality they looked, how cringe-inducing and dated the jokes are, especially given who was popular at the time, and we now ask ourselves “how the hell did we even like this stuff to begin with?” But, despite that… Seeing how KZfaq personalities were then compared to what we have now, it makes you look back on stuff from 2005 to 2009 and even some of the early 2010’s to some extend and appreciate the realness behind it. Now there’s just a filter over everything and you can never see the person behind the videos.

While SMOSH's old content might be cringe to the current us (although its mixed up with the feeling of nostalgia), we gotta admit us 10 years ago find it very funny.

I find it hilarious how hard Pyro copes when being falsely accused of something.

Still less insane than people who believe in Petscop 2.

i loved when old youtube was a bunch of people throwing a lot of shit and tried figuring out how to get popular

Can't wait for "El pyroLIVE"

The Spanish dub actually gets better as time goes on. The first one was terrible but the latest ones are actually very good.

Everytime these topics arise everyone just gets super depressed and nostalgic and start to hate everything there is now before realizing it’s all gone too lol

Pyro is only a few months younger than me and he said he didn't watch Smosh growing up either. There is a God after all! I didn't watch Smosh either and everyone thought that made me weird.

I remember thinking smosh was funny as shit when I was like 8, and now looking back they're still funny as shit in an ironic sense.

Pyro has far cry 3's release date memorized, definition of insanity

I never watched Smosh either and idk why but the Spanish Smosh dub actually made me laugh because it was just an acid trip even more so than normal Smosh lol

Seeing Pyro being confused about smosh lore hurts me personally

its genuinely insane that Smosh had been making youtube content for around 7 years when they made Food Battle 2012

Smosh's early appeal wasn't that it was the funniest or most well written, it's because Ian and Anthony had such a friendship chemistry that them just having fun with each other was entertaining. I remember LOVING their Lunch time with Smosh series because you got to see them just be dorky teenagers/early 20 year olds, it's wholesome!

Old KZfaq for me was Pyro playing CS with a overweight Russian kid

I actually laughed hysterically realizing how long I've been around and where we've devolved from and to again

As a Mexican guy who unironically used to watch El Smosh I have to say, I can't hear their original voices because it just feels wrong for me LMAO

cannot tell if that 01 tattoo is genuinely an evangelion reference or just a joke buried under 10 different layers of irony

You know pyro would go crazy over Roxanne Wolf 😳

I miss the old years of Smosh. I used to watch him since 2014. But now, to this day, SMOSH sucks after Anthony left. 😔

Pyro's "wot the hail boi" at 7:50 has bestowed new life unto my ailing body

Honestly, I can't 100% say that content used to be better back then since we have a lot of good stuff like in-depth video essays these days but there was definitely a vibe back then that I miss. Like, for example, you'd have guys like Smosh and Will it Microwave just being regular dudes, doing stuff that they like and going viral off of it which is a far cry from today when you constantly have to watch out for demonitisation and getting clapped by the copyright ID system.

I love that this channel has classic old pyro commentary style. With the fanart on the side and everything. New and old come to meet

God, pre 2011 KZfaq just hits differently. Before then, I was watching 4PlayerPodcast and reuploads of Red vs. Blue.

5:30 Mans instantly went to vore

The fact that I remember all these videos is astonishing. I binged watched all the old smosh videos years ago and probably watched them multiple times as a little kid

All we need now is for him to watch Ghetto Smosh

Cant wait to see the clip of Pyro saying BB would never come out on PC referenced when it actually DOES.

"Why does this video feel like it's been 20 minutes long???" Proceeds to pause every 15 seconds

Being bilingual comes in handy with the types of content. It add another layer of "funny" to be exact.

That single "Shut Up" brought so much nostalgia, and so many memories. Thank you Pyro, for reminding me of times you could say the n-word on youtube, and get away with it.

I have no idea why but I went and rewatched old smosh content a week or so ago. I do believe we are all connected somehow🤨

Old KZfaq just becomes funny for different reasons as our humor ages

Old KZfaq is funny again, humor loops every decade

The old KZfaq craving hits hard sometimes... 😔

Idk why I feel so inclined to defend smosh even though it’s been YEARS since I’ve even watched them

Now that Smosh has come back, it seems like a good time to rewatch this video

Smosh's man spider and Assasins creed 3 song convinced me to fight my bullies in primary school and I got beaten up so badly I had to go to A&E Edit: I realise the point of man spider is that he got really badly hurt, but I did jujitsu so I was convinced I could do it

getting this in my recommended is insane considering they just bought smosh back

You know what, I'm glad that I still find Smosh entertaining. It has so much [adult swim] energy to it. And its also way too nostalgic. Also, remember Smosh cartoons?

As a person who didn't watch smosh growing up, i am fucking bewildered.

I like how pyro is complaining about everything. Even though they're videos are like the prehistoric start of KZfaq content.

Watching Smosh while growing up reminds me when I got hit by a giraffe

9:24 “don’t let me down donut” vs. “the aliens are coming!”

My guy bringing up the release of FNAF like it's some ancient event and here I am still feeling like it happened recently.

Pyro jumped into a food battle video and surprised he missed out on lore, like damn bro you skipped like 8 seasons

I remember watching 2011 smosh on my grandmas pc when i was like 8, that shit was the best

I unironically still enjoy these videos all these years later. This and minecraft were basically my entire childhood. Sad, really.

23:30 I see Pyro rejects the societal staple of marriage

NGL doe Smosh really helped me "learning" English and to actually be interested into learning it lmao.

6:59 mans sounds like the joker

I definitely agree that the world's collective humor is so broken that old things that are unfunny are now funny again

1:24 Pyro : "I got this _craving"_ _(Foxycynical fanart suddenly pops up)_ *"I G O T T H I S C R A V I N G T O D A Y"*

6:14 cream filled donut now

Watching old smosh should be a torture method

The gamer getting trolled looks like the average pyrocynical fan

I grew up watching Smosh when I was around 13 years old and I thought they were the funniest channel on KZfaq. I never really watched the Food Battle videos but just seeing them is giving me big nostalgia.

2:02 When you accidentally have 0.01 sec of copyrighted music In a video.

I wish I was there. Truly. I hear grand tales from YT veterans about how great this time was all the time.

I'm in genuine despair that Pyro had to hear literally the worst Spanish dubs of Smosh

19:31 Pyro saying Dios Mio is amazing

Holy shit I remember watching the thumbnail video from Smosh. Now I'm watching arguably worse content. Shit's wild

The fact that I thought this was normal content as a kid is concering, that was just a very different time...

Everybody talks about how they miss the Golden Era, but god, I havent seen anyone talk about Kitty, the guy who made Team Fabolous 2. I would like to keep his memory alive as a Legend.

Half of my house burned down today and after a long draining day about figuring out where to spend the night with my dogs and finally ending up in a safe place and laying in bed to see you post an entertaining vid is honestly what I needed to finish off the day, thank you Pyro

The Golden Age KZfaq was The Creatures era, especially during 2013. Still watch their old videos for that sweet nostalgia. Simpler times.

Old school smosh was an absolute fever dream and also my childhood

I've watched Smosh a lot back in the day, but to be honest I wouldn't go back, it was fun watching it back then, but I prefer the content I watch now and while there's a lot of dogshit videos today, there's still a lot that's a heavy improvement from old KZfaq.

Pyro watched an entire 4-minute ad for Flappy Bird, and didn't even realize it... now that's what I call getting *TROLL'D*

the way pyro dressed i feel he gonna tell us how he hasen't come this far to die now

11:46 it's funny because it gets more true the more Microsoft buys out development companies

Actually, as a guy who grew up watching Smosh, not every food battle had a donut and eggroll. Ian always chose the donut, but every year Anthony chose something different

The shock and fear on pyros face makes me smile.

You could tell that the guitar riff was made in a very old version of Garageband.

i like the new smosh, but the old smosh will forever have a place in my heart rent free

I love how we reverted so much in comedy that old smosh has become a new form of funny

20:28 Pewdiepie if he never sell hotdogs.

Hobo Joe was a legend.

“Did they just promote vore” Pyro, you should be fine with that.

Every couple months I will go back to your videos, old lego stop motions and other stuff and just enjoy the pure nostalgia

Aging Boomer looks into his past style of comedy and rejects his roots.

2005-2013 KZfaq is an era on KZfaq to probably never be paralleled again. KZfaq was an open space with new stars appearing left and right. Arguably, people differ on KZfaq's Golden Era and I think there was still good KZfaq content extending into 2017, but I think that 2005-2013 KZfaq was the best point in KZfaq before things went on a decline.

11:31, I don't even fell mad, I fell happy.

i find it crazy that smosh started uploading before i was born and i still watched them as a kid

I could watch old smosh for literally years and never get bored

”2 men commit manslaughter and arson” TROLLED
