Smosh is a web-based comedy duo consisting of Anthony Padilla and Ian Hecox.
The two friends began making videos at Calabasas High School, and have created a variety of humorous videos.[1] Their video, "Smosh Short 2: Stranded", won the 2006 YouTube Award for Best Comedy.[2] Smosh is not limited to sketch comedy, however. It also regularly produces humorous music videos; most notably with the post-hardcore duo I Set My Friends On Fire entitled "Sex Ed Rocks" and, more recently, "Four Years Foreplay".[3]
One of Smosh's earliest videos "Pokemon Theme Music Video." was released in November of 2005 and by April of 2006 held the title of "Most Viewed Video of all Time" with over 7 million hits,[4] a title it held for at least six months. The success of this and other videos led Smosh to be featured in the "Person of the Year: You" issue of Time Magazine, published December 13, 2006 .[5]
In April 2007, Smosh replaced Lonelygirl15 as the most subscribed channel on YouTube,[6][7] and was soon announced as one of the initial participants in YouTube's partnership revenue-sharing program.[8][9] Smosh is currently the third most subscribed channel on YouTube as of February 2010.[10][11]They currently have 110 videos.
