Introduction

In episode #74 of Smosh Mouth, aired on December 23, 2024, hosts Shayne Topp and Amanda Lehan-Canto welcome their special guests, Angela and Chance, affectionately dubbed the "Christmas Speed Grassroots Duo." The episode dives into festive discussions, blending personal holiday experiences with creative endeavors centered around fanfiction.

---

Favorite Holidays and Christmas Traditions

The conversation kicks off with the hosts and guests sharing their favorite holidays. While Christmas takes center stage, Halloween also garners appreciation:

• Amanda shares her dual love, stating, “I like Halloween so much, though. But I love Christmas” ([01:08]).

• Shayne echoes this sentiment, adding, “I love all the vibes of it. I like Christmas movies. I like Christmas music” ([01:22]).

• Ryan contrasts the two, mentioning, “I feel like Halloween is draining and Christmas fills me” ([01:26]).

Their discussion highlights the overwhelming love for Christmas, emphasizing traditions and the festive atmosphere that accompanies the season. Shayne attributes the family's Christmas spirit to his mother, saying, “Christmas is a thing because my mom makes it a thing” ([01:45]).

Early Christmas Decorations and Seasonal Overlaps

Angela recounts an experience that underscores the commercial overlap between holidays:

“I walked into the grove, the Americana Grove. It’s a mall in LA that is so designed. It’s supposed to feel like a Christmas town. And I walked in there... this is crazy.” ([02:27])

This early immersion into Christmas festivities sparked a debate among the group about when the Christmas season should officially begin. Shayne observes, “Christmas season starts like on Thanksgiving day” ([03:04]), while Amanda notes, “It's too much” as November 10th already feels “little early” ([03:11]-[03:22]).

Angela humorously connects the start of Christmas to the end of pumpkin season:

“I think it's less about the holiday and more about when is a pumpkin gone.” ([03:44])

This leads to a playful agreement that pumpkins and Halloween should naturally give way to Christmas decor and celebrations.

Writing Our Own Fanfiction

Transitioning from holiday chatter, Shayne introduces a creative twist to the episode:

“We all wrote the worst possible Christmas stories. Christmas fanfictions involving all of us here at this table.” ([04:00])

The challenge sets the stage for each participant to craft unique, often humorous fanfiction pieces, blending their personalities with festive themes.

Sharing and Reading Fanfictions

Ryan's Smutty Poem

Ryan takes the lead with a provocative, smutty Christmas-themed poem filled with pop culture references:

“Twas the night before Fatmas... This is a Rick and Morty portal gun joke. My sword collection gleamed by the side of my bed and visions of Arwen danced round in my head.” ([06:06] - [10:23])

The poem humorously intertwines characters from various franchises, creating an eclectic and entertaining narrative. Ryan admits, “I can appreciate that. But you start getting to like like November 10th being Christmasy and I'm like my little early for me” ([03:25]).

Amanda's Drama-Based Fanfiction

Amanda presents her fanfiction as a drama, incorporating insider jokes and unique character portrayals:

“It's called who's Santa here? Question mark. Written by Amanda Lehan. Interior. Smosh. Office...” ([18:05])

Her story introduces exaggerated versions of themselves, such as "Buff Shane, who's married to Courtney now" and "Sexy Chance," blending humor with festive chaos.

Shayne's and Angela's Contributions

Shayne and Angela contribute their own creative pieces, each adding layers of humor and personalized elements:

• Shayne crafts a chaotic Christmas scenario involving torn hands and ripped reindeer, saying, “I wrote this very quickly” ([42:53]).

• Angela adds whimsical elements like magical snowflakes and Who-ville-style transformations, enhancing the festive chaos ([34:20]).

• Shayne humorously critiques his own quick writing pace, acknowledging, “Everything you guys wrote is better than mine” ([42:39]).

• Ryan praises the group's creativity, noting the blend of humor and fan references made the fanfictions engaging ([15:32]).

Favorite Christmas Movies and Sketches

Shayne and the group shift gears to discuss their favorite Christmas movies and comedic sketches, sharing personal preferences and critiquing popular choices:

• Amanda champions "Home Alone" but expresses disdain for "A Christmas Story": “I hate A Christmas Story so much” ([54:47]).

• Shayne lauds "Elf" as the last truly legendary family Christmas movie, lamenting the decline of impactful Christmas films: “I think Elf was the last one that's like that” ([57:35]).

• Angela reminisces about classic SNL Christmas sketches, highlighting their enduring humor: “I watch this every Christmas… Angela screams loudly” ([56:19]).

They debate the criteria that elevate a Christmas movie to classic status, emphasizing feel-good narratives and timeless themes.

---

Closing Remarks

As the episode wraps up, the hosts encourage listeners to share their favorite Christmas movies and fanfictions, fostering a sense of community and engagement:

“Shane: We now see how Amanda views us.” ([26:07])

“Amanda: It's really fun to write fanfics for each other all the time.” ([31:19])

A folk duo. And that's the Christmas Speed grassroots duo.

[Amanda]

And I love it.

[Angela]

It's the best time of the year.

[Amanda]

I'm so excited, guys. Is Christmas your favorite holiday?

[Ryan]

Yes, by far.

[Amanda]

Really?

[Angela]

Yes, 100%.

[Amanda]

You, Shane?

[Shane]

Yeah, I would say so.

[Amanda]

Okay, so I love Christmas, you guys.

[Shane]

What do you love?

[Amanda]

I like Halloween so much, though. But I love Christmas.

[Shane]

I like Christmas. I feel like the later half of the year is often so busy that I don't get that. I don't get that downtime to, like, really think about it.

[Amanda]

Yeah.

[Shane]

Enjoy it.

[Amanda]

Yeah.

[Shane]

But I do love Christmas. I love all the vibes of it. I like Christmas movies. I like Christmas music.

[Ryan]

I feel like Halloween is draining and Christmas fills me.

[Amanda]

Yeah, that's so true.

[Angela]

Actually, I think I learned a lot about you guys last Christmas episode when we talked about each other's traditions. I was like, your family, how you do, like, like, like your mom loves Christmas.

[Shane]

It's very much like Christmas in my family is a thing because my mom.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Shane]

Makes it a thing.

[Angela]

And I remembered that still to this day.

[Shane]

Yeah. Angela, you a couple, like, as of this episode airing. A couple weeks ago, I saw some clips on TikTok. You were like, out and about being like, guys, it's doing early for Christmas. And then you had a peppermint mocha and like, like the top hat on Frosty the Snowman. It. It brought the spirit of Christmas to you.

[Amanda]

Yeah.

[Angela]

It happened within 10 minutes. I walked. I walked into the grove, the Americana grove. I walked in. It's a. It's a mall in LA that is so designed. It's like, it's supposed to feel like a Christmas town. And I walked in there and it was early in the morning. I was just making a return and there was like so much Christmas. And I was like, this is crazy.

[Ryan]

It is mind boggling. They have 150 foot Christmas tree, real.

[Angela]

Christmas tree that it was like 9:30 and Santa was already out. And this is like before Thanksgiving, before I. And I. But then I like. So then I like make some stupid tik tok and I'm like, this is too early. And then I like go into the cafe and I'm like, it. Let me just get a peppermint mocha. Got a peppermint mocha and immediately walked out. And then saw the same thing I saw before, but with jingle eyes.

[Amanda]

But you heard music.

[Ryan]

It's your senses.

[Angela]

And I went, you know what I actually am going to try this year to think that Thanksgiving is also Christmas. Like, let's try it, you know, to mutha turkey.

[Ryan]

Anyway.

[Shane]

That's right. Christmas season starts like on Thanksgiving day. That's. That's kind of when I'm like, I'm locked in. It's Christmas time.

[Angela]

I'm usually hardcore. Black Friday is Christmas.

[Ryan]

Me too.

[Shane]

People are now kind of like Halloween is now the start of Christmas season.

[Angela]

That's ridiculous.

[Ryan]

I like it.

[Shane]

It's too much.

[Amanda]

You like it?

[Ryan]

I like it. Just as like Thanksgiving is like an appetizer to Christmas. It's like still part of the same meal. And I'm still.

[Shane]

I can appreciate that. But you start getting to like like November 10th being Christmasy and I'm like my. Little early for me. I'm burnt out by the time we.

[Amanda]

Get to definitely happens like November 1st.

[Ryan]

Okay.

[Angela]

I think it's less about the holiday and more about when is a pumpkin gone. And I think pumpkins stay till Thanksgiving.

[Shane]

Yeah, I agree.

[Angela]

That's why I'm like, they just. Christmas.

[Ryan]

They don't.

[Shane]

They don't.

[Amanda]

They rot.

[Angela]

I know that. I'm not talking physically. I'm talking.

[Ryan]

I'm talking physically.

[Amanda]

I'm talking physically.

[Ryan]

That's how the seasons were decided.

[Amanda]

Rot.

[Angela]

My roommate this year tried to carve a gourd.

[Amanda]

Didn't work.

[Shane]

Oh.

[Ryan]

What?

[Angela]

Yeah, it didn't work.

[Ryan]

Were there guts inside the same as a pumpkin?

[Angela]

No. It's really rough in there.

[Ryan]

You can't get it. Oh, so am I.

[Shane]

Okay, well, maybe today will get me even more in the Christmas spirit. Because we all wrote the worst possible Christmas stories. Christmas fan fictions. Fan fiction involving all of us here at this table. At least that was the prompt. Maybe nobody played by the rules. That's okay. There's not really.

[Amanda]

I kind of wrote. I kind of wrote in the mind of if someone was watching, then I was adding in my little things that fans wouldn't know about. That I was like, this is just fun to talk about. So it's a hybrid.

[Angela]

See?

[Shane]

Yeah.

[Angela]

I did something. I did, like, what's my version of fan fiction at Smosh for Christmas? That's what I did. I was just like, what? Cause I was thinking about, like, I even googled fan fiction. Cause I know what it is. But, like, right before, I was like, like, what is it? And I was like, oh, like, what is like, my fantasy of Christmas at Smosh. And that's what I did here.

[Ryan]

I did more of. I did more of, like, my fantasy fan fiction.

[Shane]

That's great.

[Angela]

What do you mean?

[Ryan]

I guess we'll find out. It's more of, like, prose, you know? Are you familiar with prose, like, poetry?

[Angela]

Is yours filthy?

[Ryan]

Mine is filthy.

[Angela]

Yeah.

[Amanda]

This is smutty poetry. And I'm psyched for it because that's also Christmas.

[Ryan]

That is so Christmas.

[Shane]

That's Christmas if you're not having a.

[Ryan]

Hookup in your childhood bedroom.

[Amanda]

What Christmas shoe.

[Angela]

So tag us in. No kidding.

[Shane]

I guess. Let's get into our first story. Chance, do we want to read with.

[Amanda]

The smutty poem to get us really in the Christmas tree?

[Ryan]

Here we go.

[Shane]

Are we trading off or are you going to read this?

[Ryan]

Oh, yeah, we can trade off or we can trade off or.

[Angela]

Oh, my God. This is.

[Amanda]

I am psyched.

[Ryan]

We can trade off or I can read it.

[Shane]

All right, Chance, you're going to read it. And we will.

[Amanda]

Oh, my God. I'm already so in.

[Shane]

Let's ride. Oh, you. My God.

[Angela]

Oh.

[Ryan]

For those who can't hear or see.

[Shane]

He's the chosen.

[Ryan]

I've just transformed in the chosen.

[Amanda]

The chosen mixed with someone else and I'm.

[Angela]

It's the chosen Christmas bitch.

[Ryan]

Let's ride. This is not your ordinary Christmas tale from a chosen who yaps. This is a more tantalizing tale from the chosen who faps. Twas the night before Fatmas Here in my room not a sound could be heard. Save the fans. Quiet Zoom. Deep within my mind Fantasies can take flight of romances that could be had on this frigid winter night.

[Amanda]

Holy shit.

[Ryan]

My body curled up like a C sec recruit Dreaming of Tali in that, mmm, skin tight suit Would I dare to unmask her in the soft Christmas glow? Or share secrets? Enough dispels with Yennefer So progressive flow.

[Amanda]

Love that.

[Ryan]

With mistletoe pinned to the top of my shelf I imagined a midnight with black cat herself. She'd tease me with leather then vanish into the night Leaving this chosen's portal less gun than he'd like. It's a Rick and Morty portal gun joke. My sword collection gleamed by the side of my bed and visions of Arwen danced round in my head. Would she talk dirty somethings in Elvish leaving me unable to rest?

[Angela]

Yes.

[Ryan]

Or would Cortana appear with those bustling binary breaths?

[Shane]

Yes.

[Ryan]

Stop Binary. Cortana is a digital.

[Angela]

Yeah.

[Amanda]

From Halo.

[Ryan]

From Halo.

[Shane]

Good.

[Amanda]

Thank you.

[Ryan]

That was good, Amanda.

[Amanda]

Thank you.

[Ryan]

I clutched the controller but instead drifted to my dreams where Samus upbeat in my B hole busting out them power suit scenes. It's a smash bros joke from Metroid. Great.

[Amanda]

Thanks.

[Ryan]

She'd peel off her armor, my eyes open wide. Ugh. Alas, just a fantasy. Cause she's probably more of a side that's a person who doesn't like fantasies.

[Angela]

You don't have to explain each other.

[Amanda]

No, I actually enjoy the explanations.

[Shane]

I know that.

[Ryan]

Yes. The clock on my wall ticked down with a chime as my thoughts wandered to the depths of Tartarus of my mind. I'd share secrets with Jadzdia in a corner so dark or spend hours with Ciri under Skyrim's cold ark.

[Shane]

Nice.

[Ryan]

I reach for my plushies, my soft cozy friends Wishing for carnal pleasures only the outer rim sends for I'd battle a Balrog shore passion with a sith or trace ley line to the G spot of Keyleth.

[Shane]

That's crazy.

[Amanda]

Wow.

[Angela]

Oh my God.

[Ryan]

Would Lara Croft swing through the rafters and pistol whip these cheeks? Or would I ask for a task from several buff Mr. Meeseeks? With my Dr. Manhattan pajamas speedily pulled down my waist My dream's sharper than Jace cheekbones and his arcane face.

[Shane]

Wow.

[Angela]

Wow.

[Amanda]

This is unbelievable.

[Ryan]

Would Morrigan come with her teasing smirk or tryst that red haired enchantress to make my lips perk a Gyarados onesie in a hectate key? I think I have just the cheat code for me. My heart thumped like bowser in pursuit of dat peach. I wanna reach around but I'll settle for a Halo reach job. I wanna get fisted by Kit Fisto in my Sarlacc pit blood Bend me over Mama Hama and wr. That was several. It was an avatar. The last Airbender reference Star Wars. Okay. With my mattress on the floor, my body and legs splayed, dreaming of getting ravaged. And the Firefly reruns I never replay. For in my head Spaceport, a Haltman drive burned. Of romances never started and therefore never returned. Of daring adventures that could only take flight in the clattered, tattered reaches of my mind each night. So here's to the dreamers, the geeks, and the nerds who know the true power of magical thoughts and words. From dungeons to Dagobah, from Darkseid to Thor. Yearning for characters we'll always adore. Merry Christmas to all and to all a good game. May your nerdy romances never bring shame. For though the real world is less than divine, We've got imagination, and that suits me just fine. Here are some honorable sex mentions I didn't get to Sex force yourself down my throat. ODM Gear. Sex Swing. That's Attack on Titan, Galbatorix and Trix. That's Eragon, and put your Ratchet up my clank. An old PlayStation video.

[Amanda]

Wow.

[Shane]

That's Ratchet with your Ratchet.

[Amanda]

This is unbelievable fun, right? Did I know half the references? Yeah, kind of.

[Ryan]

Yeah, you did.

[Amanda]

Yeah. Cause you explained them.

[Shane]

You had some insane. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Ryan]

Fun, fun, fun.

[Shane]

Started off with Mass Effect, made your way through shit.

[Angela]

Chance also, like, not me getting touched at the last one. Merry Christmas. Your nerdy romances never bring shame, for the real world is less than divine. We've got imagination. That suits me.

[Ryan]

Okay, you're just emotional because you just saw Wicked.

[Amanda]

No, but seriously, that's really fucking sweet.

[Ryan]

Isn't that sweet?

[Amanda]

This is so good.

[Ryan]

Okay, so what characters do you wish were sexy in here? What characters would you fandom about?

[Amanda]

Aragon.

[Angela]

I can't believe you, like, went full prose.

[Ryan]

Yeah, it's so good. Was the Night Before Christmas.

[Amanda]

You're slaying it.

[Angela]

Yeah. You are so good at, like, rhymes and stuff.

[Shane]

How. How long did this take you? You kind of just blast this out.

[Ryan]

I had a first draft on Monday, and then I went through, and I was like, I can make these things scan a little better. All last night.

[Amanda]

I'd love to see this animated.

[Ryan]

Oh, with, like, the characters in his mind.

[Amanda]

Yep.

[Shane]

Some fan out there is like, okay.

[Amanda]

I would love to see it animated with Chosen on his mattress on the floor. Which made me laugh so hard.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Shane]

Someone's gonna animate this, and you're gonna have to upload it on pornhubs only.

[Ryan]

Fans. Yeah.

[Shane]

Yeah.

[Angela]

With my mattress on the floor is so insane.

[Amanda]

So pretty accurate.

[Ryan]

The fan zooming.

[Amanda]

When did you know you wanted to Write this when you were told.

[Ryan]

But. Well, when it was fan fiction, I was like, okay, I want to do something sexy. And then if it's fan fiction, I can't do sexy with my co workers.

[Angela]

Why?

[Ryan]

I don't want to do sexy with any of my co workers. Ew. She tried to kiss me again, Selena. And so then I was like, okay, what can I be sexy with?

[Amanda]

And I can be sexy with Fancy the Chosen.

[Angela]

I also.

[Ryan]

Yeah, that was a. That was a good veil over, though.

[Angela]

I forget how much of a nerd you are. Like, in a loving way.

[Amanda]

Yeah, you are a super nerd. And I love it so much.

[Angela]

And you don't lead with that. Like, it's like, such a deep thing about you.

[Ryan]

That's fair.

[Amanda]

I think I found out that you were such a nerd when we played D and D and I was like, damn.

[Ryan]

Oh, yeah.

[Amanda]

I loved it.

[Ryan]

I love researching and giving you spells. And I was like, hey, use this.

[Amanda]

Yeah, I remember that. You helped me so much.

[Ryan]

And I was like, it's also just so.

[Angela]

Have you been this way since you were like a kid? Like, little.

[Ryan]

Yes. Oh, my God, yes.

[Angela]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Just like you with musicals.

[Amanda]

I was wondering why you were wearing a shark tooth necklace this morning.

[Ryan]

I was like, that's a really fit the vibe.

[Amanda]

I was like, that's a touch.

[Shane]

The Firefly reruns I never replayed.

[Ryan]

Because you only need to watch it once.

[Shane]

That's true.

[Ryan]

You only need to watch it once.

[Shane]

That's true.

[Ryan]

And you don't need to watch Serenity.

[Shane]

Serenity's so good Enough.

[Ryan]

What's very dramatic enough.

[Shane]

Serenity's a great movie.

[Ryan]

Oh, no, no. Serenity.

[Shane]

Oh, my.

[Ryan]

Do people really like it?

[Shane]

I love it.

[Ryan]

Oh, my God. This is newsflash to me.

[Shane]

So I think the movie's incredible.

[Angela]

Can we talk about this progressive flow reference?

[Shane]

That would rarely would.

[Angela]

I dare unmask her in the Christmas Glow.

[Amanda]

Also Yennefer the Witcher. I know, I know Yennefer.

[Shane]

Ok.

[Amanda]

I love the Witcher.

[Angela]

Or share seductive spells with. Who's Yennefer? So progressive flow.

[Amanda]

The Witcher.

[Angela]

What is the progressive flow?

[Ryan]

That's just. I was just my Nicki Minaj moment.

[Angela]

For a second where you just say something that rhymes perfectly.

[Ryan]

Yeah, you just put something in. Like. And Flo could be sexy.

[Angela]

So progressive blow. But I dare unmask her in herself.

[Shane]

Why am I blanking? Is Morrigan also from Morrigan?

[Amanda]

Is Morrigan's from Court of Thorns or she's also something else. Everything is From Court of Thorns.

[Ryan]

Irish crow goddess.

[Shane]

Oh.

[Ryan]

Of death, I think.

[Shane]

Oh.

[Ryan]

But she's also in. It's a old, old name I was thinking of.

[Shane]

I'm thinking I'm getting confused with Kerrigan from Nancy Kerrigan.

[Angela]

Yeah.

[Shane]

Who is it from Starcraft. Yeah.

[Ryan]

Kerrigan is Nancy Kerrigan. Kerrigan's the goddess of death.

[Shane]

Kerrigan's a hottie villain.

[Amanda]

Is the goddess of Death.

[Ryan]

She's in the died.

[Angela]

No, she didn't.

[Ryan]

As something really old. Yeah.

[Angela]

Is she alone?

[Ryan]

I haven't gotten there yet to tell me what she is. Where to tell me what the Morgan is in the Court of Thorns and.

[Amanda]

Roses and you won't.

[Ryan]

It never tells you.

[Amanda]

No. But there's a new book coming out.

[Ryan]

Whoa.

[Amanda]

Probably next year that might reveal.

[Angela]

Do I just buy this book and start.

[Ryan]

I can't believe you.

[Angela]

I think over the break I do it.

[Amanda]

I think you should.

[Ryan]

Yes.

[Angela]

Can I borrow one of your copies? I don't want to buy it.

[Amanda]

The first one is in Greece. I left it there for some.

[Shane]

We have a copy we could give you.

[Amanda]

Yeah, I have a lot of the copies.

[Ryan]

You're going to like it. It's just.

[Angela]

I know. I just want to get to the second one. I think you might.

[Amanda]

I think you might roll your eyes at the first one, but I think the second one.

[Ryan]

You have to get to the first one just because you have to get through it. Yeah. It sets up the second. It sets up the.

[Shane]

You have to.

[Amanda]

You have to also maybe reading Throne of Glass, which is what I'm into right now. Her first series.

[Ryan]

That's the one. Fucking dragons.

[Angela]

Is it smutty?

[Amanda]

No, no, no, no, no. It's not smutty at all. It's her. It's Sarah J. Maas first series that she wrote when she was 15 and then re edited it when she was older. Wrote it on like web forums.

[Ryan]

Whoa.

[Angela]

God, I love it.

[Amanda]

She's been telling me about it and then Ally, our CEO told me about it and I was like, yep, I'm in.

[Ryan]

It's.

[Shane]

It's hard to. You can't go into a bookstore without seeing like, I'm on book three.

[Amanda]

But it's not smutty everywhere. Not smutty, but it's super. Amazing world building. Adventurous. And there's romance in there.

[Angela]

It's so cool to write something as a kid and then pick it up as an adult.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Angela]

That's why.

[Shane]

Pretty wild.

[Amanda]

You can tell it's like a mix of both. But the lead.

[Ryan]

My God, it's probably so Therapeutic too.

[Amanda]

So good. She's an 18 year old child.

[Ryan]

Wrote this.

[Amanda]

Assassin, huh?

[Angela]

Wow.

[Shane]

Well, this was fantastic.

[Angela]

This was so fantastic.

[Shane]

Great way to start it off.

[Amanda]

Yeah. I can't wait to follow this excellent piece of writing.

[Ryan]

Well, what is yours?

[Angela]

Well, you said you tried to make it. What did you say?

[Amanda]

I wrote it once and didn't reread it.

[Shane]

I did the same.

[Angela]

Me too. Me too.

[Amanda]

I wanted to make a dramat. Like a drama that maybe you guys will hopefully laugh at.

[Shane]

So we know that no matter what. What? Things are going to get shittier from here, I think.

[Angela]

Yeah, I think this is a great way to be. Like.

[Amanda]

This is the top.

[Angela]

You clicked on this for some real shit? Sure. There it was.

[Ryan]

There you go. Now got it. Whoa.

[Angela]

And now let's let the dogs out.

[Shane]

Yeah, let's.

[Amanda]

Let's let those little puppies out. All right, here's mine. I wrote it as a drama, but as I was reading it, as I was writing it, I was laughing again. It's. It's written in the way that a fan, that a fan would write it. A real fan. But then there's little Amanda things in it that only we would know.

[Angela]

Okay.

[Shane]

I wrote mine in a way that nobody would write it.

[Ryan]

Okay. What is that?

[Shane]

I don't know what that. I don't know what that.

[Amanda]

Don't read ahead.

[Ryan]

Okay, we're not.

[Amanda]

Here's the deal.

[Angela]

Oh, my God, it's thick.

[Amanda]

I'm going to be reading everything and all the other characters and you guys are just gonna be reading your characters.

[Ryan]

Okay.

[Angela]

Okay. So you're reading the same direction.

[Ryan]

I'm reading everything.

[Amanda]

I'm reading. No, I'm reading everything. Everything.

[Ryan]

Okay.

[Angela]

Doing a play with an 8 year old. So I'm reading everything and you guys, your characters.

[Amanda]

And when I'm talking, you guys can't.

[Shane]

Talk if the character is not listed as Shane. Do I read it?

[Amanda]

Buff Shane? Yes.

[Shane]

Okay, I will read. So any other version of Shane I will read as well.

[Amanda]

There's only one version of Shane. Oh, yeah. Sometimes I wrote Shane and sometimes I wrote Buff Shane. That's all you.

[Angela]

Okay.

[Amanda]

Because I simply forgot.

[Ryan]

I see that there's two different types of chances. Am I reading both of those?

[Amanda]

And, and, and, and yes. Because. Because I didn't mean for there to be two different chances. I just never went back.

[Shane]

We now see how Amanda views us.

[Angela]

Oh, so this is. So this is fun.

[Shane]

There's two versions and then Angela.

[Amanda]

This is really fun.

[Angela]

There's Buff Shane and Normal Chain and Sexy Chance and Normal Chance and just Angela.

[Amanda]

Correct.

[Shane]

Wow.

[Amanda]

Okay.

[Shane]

You have no Persona.

[Amanda]

Are we ready?

[Angela]

Yes.

[Ryan]

This is a.

[Shane]

This is a lot of people.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Amanda]

This is a drama.

[Shane]

Okay.

[Ryan]

It's called drama.

[Amanda]

You can. I'm just reading it as a drama. Yeah.

[Ryan]

Okay.

[Shane]

A Christmas drama.

[Amanda]

It's called who's Santa here? Question mark.

[Angela]

What the fuck is that even. I mean start.

[Ryan]

Find out.

[Amanda]

Written by Amanda Lehan. Kento.

[Ryan]

Oh.

[Amanda]

Interior. Smosh. Office. And that's the only time that I'll write in a way that is formatted for tv. The office smells like burnt candles and mini gluten free bundt cakes. It must have been someone's birthday. Anyways, who cares? Angela Busson, hair in two. Two little tiny cute braids, gripping her puppy mug and wearing a full on Santa outfit, beard and all.

[Angela]

I'm grateful. Merry almost Christmas biatches.

[Amanda]

Buff Shane, who's married to Courtney now, slowly walks up to Angela. He looks nervous and deadly serious.

[Shane]

Hey chica. What?

[Ryan]

Chica?

[Amanda]

You didn't hear Angela giggling and smiling wide, not understanding that he is not around.

[Angela]

Oh my God. Hear what? Like my outfit?

[Amanda]

Like my outfit?

[Angela]

I'm Santa. I thought it would be fun and cute. Everyone's gonna shit a brick when they see me. Hahahaha.

[Amanda]

Buff Shane, who's married to Courtney now puts a hand on her shoulder.

[Shane]

No baby girl, stop. No one's going to be shitting anything.

[Amanda]

Because Angelo rips his hand off her shoulder and gives him the middle finger.

[Angela]

What do you mean? Buff Shane, you're scaring me.

[Amanda]

Sexy Chance saunters up. His lips are pursed. Outfit impeccable.

[Ryan]

No Angela, you're scaring us.

[Amanda]

Angela whips her head back and forth between both of them. Buff Shane, who's married to Courtney now puts his hand back on her shoulder. This time she doesn't rip it off.

[Shane]

Someone else is already Santa today. Chica.

[Ryan]

Chica, chica.

[Amanda]

It makes me laugh. Everything stops. The world halts. The moon cracks wide open. Emily, super far away at her desk, says to no one in particular in a Texas accent, oh my God. And Bailey turns to her. Were you talking to me? Then the whole office becomes silent for like the first snowfall of death. Angela stops breathing for one whole second.

[Angela]

Who? Who else is dressed as Santa today? Who?

[Amanda]

Sexy Chance and Buff Shane, who's married to Courtney now, shake their. Shake their heads.

[Ryan]

It's. It's.

[Amanda]

Out of nowhere we see big tall mother who's married to a Belarusian model. Amanda strolls strolls over to them with her dick out.

[Ryan]

What? Your dick out with her dick Out. Your dick is out, Amanda.

[Amanda]

Oh wait, let me. Let me add that. With her super big dick. Out.

[Angela]

You can add that.

[Amanda]

Even if there was no smut, eating a cheese pack and chugging a big bottle of wine, she is the one dressed like Santa.

[Ryan]

Ho ho ho.

[Amanda]

How's everything going? What are memes? Hi kid. I'm Santa.

[Angela]

This is crazy.

[Amanda]

I'm Santa. Isn't this fun? Amanda stops dead in her tracks. She stares at her once best friend slash soulmate Angela. Excuse me?

[Ryan]

Oh come on.

[Amanda]

Now.

[Angela]

Now I understand the title. Who is Santa?

[Amanda]

Excuse me? I'm Santa. Why are you Santa? Angela stares right at Amanda like she's never seen her before.

[Angela]

It's my turn to be funny, Amanda. So I thought, what a better way to be funny than be Santa. I want it to be a surprise. Why are you doing this to me?

[Shane]

Why?

[Amanda]

Angela spins in a circle, arms out, super dramatic. Why? Being Santa is my job, Angela. This is my job. Emily from Pitt literally asked me to do this. It's my fucking job to be Santa. I thought you of all people would respect that.

[Shane]

You guys are out of control. I'm married to Courtney. Have you seen the TikTok about?

[Ryan]

Stop it, Buff Shane. I'm married to the booty hole. Hehehe. Wrong time.

[Amanda]

Angela screams loudly and stomps her feet.

[Ryan]

Angela, this isn't fair.

[Amanda]

You know what's not fair? Being called Angela every day and people not. And people going oh shit. Haha. Amanda. Sorry. Haha. You guys are just always together. Hahaha. Ha. No, not anymore. And also, I'm six feet fucking tall. There's a difference. But it's true. At one point we were basically one. Sweet kisses under the bridge. Dinner in Manhattan.

[Angela]

Dinner in Manhattan.

[Amanda]

Horsey rides on the mountains in Malibu.

[Shane]

What?

[Amanda]

But we're not that anymore. I am me. And I have to separate myself. So for today, I am the only.

[Ryan]

One who can be Santa.

[Angela]

Wow, Amanda, I told you a thousand times, you are married.

[Ryan]

Stop this dirty talk.

[Angela]

I am Santa.

[Shane]

Chicas.

[Amanda]

Let's not just then both Amanda and Angela backhand Buff Shane so hard it completely propels him into one of the walls. Right into the conference. All that's left is the Kool Aid Guy. Outline. Hole in the wall.

[Ryan]

That's good.

[Amanda]

Angela. If you won't listen to me, then listen to my real friends. All of a sudden, a gust of wind blows through the office and a massive crash comes through the ceiling. We hear Emily at her desk. In particular in a Texas accent. Oh my God. And Bailey right next to her. Says, are you talking to me? Just then, a massive crash. Sound 200 ripped as fuck reindeer come crashing down through the ceiling.

[Angela]

How can a reindeer be ripped?

[Amanda]

And a massive sled attached to them barrels through. Almost destroys everything in its path. Hey guys, leave our mommy alone. Says the reindeer. And just then, the ripped reindeer punches Angela so hard she flies backward into the already open hole into the conference room and lands on Buff Shane, who's married to Courtney now.

[Shane]

Ouchies.

[Angela]

Sorry about that.

[Amanda]

Flames erupt around Amanda. There is glitter everywhere. Hot chocolate bursts out of her pores. Her skin becomes velvet. Her eyes glaze over. Sugar plums dancing around her head. Whatever the those are. Basically, she is drunk with power.

[Shane]

I am Santa.

[Amanda]

Everyone will know my name. Sexy Chance jumps into the hole in the conference room and lands on Angela and Buff Shane.

[Ryan]

Cuddle me. I'm scared.

[Shane]

I've got you, son.

[Ryan]

Son.

[Amanda]

Just then, Amanda gets on her sled and all the ripped as fuck reindeer give Angela Sexy Chance and Buff Shane, who's married to Courtney now the middle finger. All will bow in my name. Time to take over the world. Just then, Amanda is gone. Or should we say Santa? Out of nowhere, Ollie turns the corner. Happy and joyful, he peers through the hole. Hey guys. We're going to get you loved in five minutes. Also, has anyone seen Amanda? She's dressed as Santa. It's so cute. They all shake their heads in absolute fear.

[Ryan]

I haven't seen her. Not sure.

[Amanda]

Nope. Ollie leaves. Sexy Chance turns to Angela.

[Ryan]

So you went on a horsey ride in Malibu?

[Angela]

Yeah. It was actually really enjoyable.

[Ryan]

Nice.

[Shane]

I like horsies.

[Amanda]

Nice end.

[Ryan]

Wow.

[Amanda]

And then in the distance, to no one in particular, Emily in her Texas sex and goes oh my God.

[Shane]

Oh my God.

[Amanda]

And Bailey goes, oh. So you were talking to me? Are you talking?

[Angela]

I'm.

[Amanda]

And that's the end of who's Santa here?

[Angela]

Who's Santa Here Is the funniest title to me.

[Ryan]

So Amanda was Santa.

[Amanda]

I was Santa.

[Shane]

So you guys dinners?

[Ryan]

Hey, hey. No, I was misunderstood Santa.

[Shane]

I love Manhattan. But horsey rides in Malibu.

[Amanda]

We traveled the globe.

[Shane]

You're flying back and forth. Oh, extensively.

[Amanda]

Yeah.

[Shane]

Why was I calling people chica?

[Amanda]

You always call people because I was. Your character specifically was written through fans eyes.

[Shane]

I don't know why that's how I am.

[Amanda]

But Buff Shane, who's married to Courtney now, who calls people chica and baby girl, I don't know why that made me laugh so hard.

[Ryan]

I mean, it makes sense.

[Amanda]

Yeah. And then Sexy Chance was through my eyes. And also probably through the fan's eyes.

[Ryan]

Okay.

[Amanda]

And then Angela was through my eyes and made me through the fan eyes. I thought in my whole head that we were gonna have a make out scene, and I was like, but instead.

[Angela]

I'm just a monster.

[Amanda]

No, no, that's the. That's the thing. I'm the monster.

[Ryan]

Yeah. I think Amanda's the monster.

[Amanda]

No, I'm the monster.

[Angela]

I know, but, but, but, but I'm fighting so hard for attention. So, no, obviously we have to unpack that.

[Amanda]

No, clearly you and me have, like.

[Shane]

You'Re both bad people.

[Amanda]

Clearly, you and me had a breakup. And here's the thing. I want to get this straight. I don't care when people call me Angela, but I thought it was really funny that that fueled my Amanda character that people continuously called me Angela. So I was like, I have to separate myself.

[Angela]

It's so funny.

[Amanda]

And I think I got the idea because I was actually Santa, and people are like, oh, my God, you're the one who's Santa. I'm like, yeah. And they were like, nice.

[Ryan]

And there's something about Santa where Santa is always. Santa's always giving. But when does Santa get gifts?

[Amanda]

Exactly.

[Angela]

That's actually so true.

[Shane]

Selfish Santa.

[Angela]

Has anyone made a movie where he wants a gift?

[Ryan]

Oh, what gift would you even give him? He has everything.

[Amanda]

He has everything. All he wants is undeniable power.

[Shane]

Break a. I'll give him a goddamn break.

[Angela]

I'm giving protein powder.

[Amanda]

I also feel like Amanda. Yeah, Amanda. Like. Yeah. Oh, my God. A resort. Amanda can't lose control. So the only way she can lose control is as Santa, who told Amanda.

[Ryan]

That she can't lose control.

[Amanda]

My inner child.

[Shane]

Yeah. You're fighting a battle.

[Angela]

Everybody tall?

[Amanda]

No. This thing just made me laugh.

[Angela]

I think sweet kisses under the bridge. You forgot that one.

[Amanda]

So no sweet kisses under the bridge. Dinner.

[Angela]

Dinner in Manhattan. Horsey rides in mountains.

[Amanda]

And then what made me cry tears is the thought that everything's happening right when we walk in. And super far away, it's just Emily and Bailey with their headphones on, typing, oh, my God. Oh, my God. And she gets Tyree talking to me. That just. That thought made me laugh so hard.

[Ryan]

Can you describe the. Can we talk about the buff on page four? There's diving into the text. All right. Diving into the four line when the ripped reindeer.

[Amanda]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

So you're just picturing, like, a muscular reindeer.

[Amanda]

I'm picturing these reindeer are nuts. Like, you know when a motorcycle gang pulls up and I, like, whistle to them. Yes, that's them. They are rippled with muscle and they.

[Angela]

Say, leave our mommy alone.

[Amanda]

Yeah, I'm their mommy.

[Angela]

Okay, Got it.

[Amanda]

My mother.

[Ryan]

Okay.

[Amanda]

Which is also like through the fans eyes.

[Ryan]

Okay.

[Amanda]

I'm mommy.

[Ryan]

I have a million reindeer kids. An allegory for the fans.

[Amanda]

Yes. Yes.

[Shane]

Okay.

[Amanda]

They're like protecting me.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Amanda]

From you guys. But in actuality, I am the monster.

[Angela]

This is the funniest thing.

[Amanda]

Oh my God.

[Ryan]

Oh my God.

[Angela]

I was crying, laughing.

[Amanda]

I just wanted to write a drama and then it was just making me laugh.

[Shane]

I like to think that Emily's not even reacting to what's going on around her. Like she is saying, oh my God. Does something. Something she's reading online.

[Amanda]

This is the funniest thing. Oh my God. But I saw as being like, I'm Angela. I'm gonna make a name for no.

[Ryan]

I love you.

[Amanda]

People always are. Like Amanda and Angela.

[Angela]

It's so good.

[Amanda]

[Ryan]

No, I'm kidding.

[Amanda]

I gave you. Yeah, I gave you guys. Like, I was like, duh.

[Shane]

No, you were very kind.

[Amanda]

And then I wrote once that you were married to Courtney and I was like, I have to write it every time.

[Angela]

That was so fun.

[Shane]

Every time.

[Amanda]

It's like Shane, who's married to Courtney now.

[Shane]

Yeah.

[Angela]

This was so enjoyable.

[Amanda]

Yeah.

[Angela]

I feel like people should write fan fiction for each other all the time.

[Amanda]

It's really fun.

[Shane]

Probably weird whenever I found out that Sid and Olivia do that for each other.

[Amanda]

It's so Sweet.

[Ryan]

What?

[Shane]

For their, for their, like birthdays, they write like, like extensive, like 50 to 100 page fan favorites that is each.

[Amanda]

Other for each other's and. But they never share it with anybody.

[Shane]

They don't show it to anyone except each other. And they're apparently beautiful.

[Amanda]

Isn't that beautiful?

[Shane]

They're apparently insane.

[Angela]

I remember my best friend, college. I wrote her a sketch for her birthday because we were like obsessed with sketch, so.

[Shane]

That's so dorky.

[Angela]

Yeah. Okay.

[Amanda]

Okay.

[Angela]

Speaking of dorky. Okay, so for mine, I want to go back and just say that I did this. Like, I was like. I. For I was like, what? What do I want to do? Because I was thinking of like, creative things, but then I was like, no, I'm actually just gonna write like, what's my dream Christmas here?

[Amanda]

Oh, I love that.

[Angela]

Oh, yeah. I want to say this is like my dream of Christmas here. And I did this exactly like I did it for Smash Mouth. Exactly. I did ham cake where I did this right before falling into a deep slumber. So I don't remember any of it.

[Shane]

Before you get dream stage right.

[Angela]

Yeah. And I am, I am. I was truly like falling asleep as I wrote this.

[Amanda]

I love it.

[Ryan]

It.

[Amanda]

You did a title page written by author's name.

[Angela]

Oh, I did. I, I, I. My, my freaking script thing. I have like the cheap script version copyright. Everyone just be yourself and I will read stage direction. I think it's Angela's dream Christmas at Smosh Interior Smosh Studio. Shane, Chance, Angela, and Amanda are all standing in the kitchen, making coffee and eating breakfast.

[Shane]

This is going to be a really great episode, you guys.

[Amanda]

Yeah. We are super excited to have you guys on during the holidays for Smosh Mouth again.

[Ryan]

Us too.

[Angela]

Thanks for having us. Amanda takes a deep breath. Huge vibe shift.

[Amanda]

God, I'm tired.

[Ryan]

Me too.

[Angela]

Boy, you can say that again.

[Shane]

Yeah, it's been a lot of working lately.

[Angela]

I like, can't wait for the holidays to come so we can all have some chill fest.

[Ryan]

Yes, a chill fest.

[Amanda]

I need a massage so damn bad.

[Shane]

Does your back hurt? My back hurts so much.

[Angela]

It's all the time we're on our phones. It's hurting everyone's backs.

[Ryan]

They say God isn't existing right now. Just exhausting.

[Amanda]

It's hard to grow up, especially in the world we live today.

[Shane]

I am just so fucking tired.

[Angela]

They all take a deep breath as they sip their coffee. Selena walks in the kitchen.

[Shane]

Selena says, hey, guys, it's time to get you all mic'd up. 10 minutes till the Episode Selena walks out.

[Angela]

Angela, Amanda, Chance and Shane all put their coffees down in slow walk. On their way to the stage, Chance sees an old fashioned trash can. Unlike the production style massive trash cans, at smosh. This one looks tin and like it would live in an old movie with a tin cap on top. The four stop to look at it.

[Amanda]

Huh, what's that doing there?

[Angela]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Huh? Well what's in this?

[Angela]

Chance takes the top off the trash can and as he does, he falls down head first. Chance falls further and further down. Shane goes to see where Chance went and he also falls down. So does Amanda. So does Angela. They're tumbling further and further down, all screaming but not scared screaming cuz it's like rated G. So they're like whoa.

[Shane]

Are you not allowed to scream intensely in the.

[Angela]

I just mean like it's not scary.

[Ryan]

Like whimsical.

[Shane]

Except me just like.

[Angela]

Yeah, exactly. As they continue to tumble, snowflakes come brushing past them. This portal turns snowy. More and more snowflakes fly around them as they soar through the air. Suddenly they land all in a pile of snow. Amanda's like whoa.

[Amanda]

What happened?

[Shane]

Oh my God. I'm covered in snow.

[Angela]

They all wipe the snow off. They have. They're in perfect snow angels. They look up. They look at each other for the first time. They all have Whoville style noses. Whoville pointy ears and long hairstyles that reach up to the sky. Jingle bells are heard all around them. A clock strikes more jingle bells.

[Ryan]

Wait.

[Angela]

Your nose, your hair.

[Ryan]

Our feet.

[Angela]

They'll have pointy Whoville shoes.

[Amanda]

Wait, where are we? What just happened?

[Angela]

They look around and suddenly they see a bustling Christmas town. Small zany cars are flying through the streets. Long wacky street lights. Super large and skinny wreaths everywhere. Are we in Whoville? Just then who? Ian walks by. You could do that. Amanda.

[Amanda]

Move, move, move. I gotta get these gifts to the mall.

[Angela]

Oh, Courtney dressed like Cindy Lou who follows him holding a mountain of gifts.

[Ryan]

Hey, slow down.

[Amanda]

Who?

[Angela]

Selena, you could do this. Shane walks by shouting on a megaphone that looks zany.

[Shane]

Ten minutes till Christmas. Oh my God. Guys, we are in Whoville during Christmas.

[Ryan]

Are we in the Ron Howard Whoville?

[Angela]

Just then Martha May Hoovier played by Christine Baranski. You can play. Christine Baranski walks by.

[Ryan]

Betty.

[Amanda]

Hi. Oh great.

[Ryan]

Oh my God. We are.

[Amanda]

Wait.

[Angela]

Where did Amanda go?

[Shane]

Yeah, what the heck?

[Ryan]

She was just right here. Where's Selena? Where's the smosh mouth set?

[Shane]

Where's Amanda?

[Angela]

Suddenly they hear big loud foots.

[Ryan]

Oh My God, here we go.

[Angela]

Boom, boom, boom. The earth shakes.

[Shane]

Snow falls.

[Angela]

The wind picks up.

[Shane]

Selena says, zero minutes till Christmas.

[Angela]

Everyone starts panicky. Ring around. But not a Whoville panic anymore. They're afraid. The snowstorm picks up. Presents are flying through the wind, knocking down cars and street signs.

[Shane]

Why is everyone running?

[Angela]

What are they running from?

[Shane]

Selina says, he's here.

[Angela]

Boom.

[Shane]

The Grinch.

[Angela]

Just then, flying down from the tallest mountain of Whoville comes Amanda as Jim Carrey as the Grinch. She flies down the mountain so fast, her grin so wide, the town screams, ha.

[Ryan]

Okay, this next part. This next part is crazy. Amanda says, ha.

[Angela]

Then the stage direction goes, ha.

[Ryan]

Then a character named Ha says.

[Amanda]

So since I. Oh, the Grinch still has this nose.

[Angela]

So let's do that.

[Amanda]

Here we go.

[Angela]

And you'll play ha.

[Amanda]

Here we go. Okay.

[Ryan]

Okay. Hang.

[Angela]

You can't hide from the.

[Ryan]

The. The.

[Amanda]

The Grinch. Okay, now here, mannequin, go off and do whatever monologue bit. Is the Grinch as she wants. And she can be as silly and loud as as she wants. Okay. The end. I'm the Grinch.

[Angela]

You're really gonna bitch this.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Angela]

We're taking it back.

[Ryan]

We're taking it back. We're taking it back. Amanda, you have to do a monologue.

[Amanda]

Well, well, you're gonna take it back.

[Shane]

You're gonna take it back.

[Ryan]

We're gonna get you to the moment.

[Amanda]

We're gonna follow your heart, whatever you want.

[Angela]

Be the Grinch.

[Ryan]

It's. You're the Grinch. It's the monstrous Amanda.

[Angela]

We're going from ha. Ready? You're ha. To stage directions. Ha. To Ha's ha. Here we go.

[Ryan]

Okay, so just complain about things what you don't like.

[Amanda]

Ha.

[Ryan]

Ha. Okay.

[Amanda]

Ha.

[Ryan]

Ha.

[Angela]

You can't hide from the.

[Ryan]

The. The.

[Amanda]

The Grinch. Wow. I hate this Christmas. I hate that my nose looks like this. And I hate food, and I hate little puppy dogs. And I have a small, little, tiny heart. And I'm hungry. I want cookies, and I want snacks, and I want hot cocoa. And I don't like this mountain, and it's so cold. And I've got a big belly. I'm sexy. I have a sexy body, actually.

[Angela]

Look at my body.

[Amanda]

Look how sexy I am.

[Angela]

Yeah.

[Amanda]

Thank you so much. People say that I look like Jim Carrey so much.

[Angela]

It's one of my favorite characters and my favorite comedic performances, so I gave it to you. Thank you so much.

[Amanda]

Aw. You look like a different person, dickhead. You look like a rich, like, guy who's like, hey, you just moved the neighborhood. My wife Amy and I feel bad.

[Angela]

I didn't write us as who's.

[Shane]

We're going to the lake house this weekend.

[Angela]

I should have written us as who's. More like, oh no, where's everybody running from?

[Shane]

No, no, it's ye.

[Amanda]

You also you like a who.

[Ryan]

That's the point. Right?

[Angela]

I know. It's just really good.

[Amanda]

You kinda look like a really stuck up person in school who's just like, hey, just letting you know that you can't be late for Mrs. Johnson's class.

[Ryan]

I'm actually the hall monitor this week and I'm gonna write you up. If you're not on class on time. The third bell chime is the time.

[Amanda]

And you're like. You're like, where are you, Chris? You're like, I am having a jewelry party at my house. The Mary Kay party.

[Ryan]

Nettie.

[Angela]

So anyway, I use this. I combine my favorite people, you guys, and Smosh with my favorite Christmas movie and kind of favorite movie ever. Ron Howard's the Grinchy Soaked Christmas.

[Amanda]

It's so good.

[Ryan]

Incredible.

[Shane]

It has me thinking of a. I have a question. Is it ever summer in Whoville?

[Angela]

I don't know.

[Ryan]

I don't know.

[Shane]

Wait, is it like winter?

[Angela]

I don't know.

[Amanda]

Yes, because 24, 7 Christmas. Cause remember, night before Christmas, he goes in there.

[Ryan]

She hasn't seen Nightmare Before Christmas. But the.

[Amanda]

That's crazy.

[Ryan]

But what about Horton? Here's a. Who are those Whovilles? There's who's in Whoville?

[Angela]

Oh, yeah.

[Ryan]

And they're definitely. It's definitely like tropical climate.

[Angela]

Do all. What's his name again?

[Shane]

The Grinch?

[Angela]

No.

[Amanda]

Who's Jim Carrey?

[Angela]

The writer of all these things. Are all Dr. Seuss things take place in Whoville?

[Shane]

No.

[Ryan]

Well, Horton Hears a who is outside of the unit. The whole universe is on the Dandelion or whatever.

[Angela]

Oh my God.

[Ryan]

All of Whoville is on. It's like the Men in Black marble situation.

[Shane]

That's crazy because there's like green eggs and ham. They're not who's. There's. There's Yodel the Turtle.

[Ryan]

Lorax is not a who.

[Shane]

Yeah, Red, there is who.

[Angela]

The places you'll go is just the places you'll go.

[Shane]

That's just some guy.

[Ryan]

Whoville is just in the universe of Seuss.

[Angela]

Whoville is on a snowflake.

[Amanda]

No, no, no.

[Angela]

Not Brennan.

[Ryan]

Going up to snow on a flower.

[Angela]

In a very business matte fashion going.

[Shane]

That's a different. That's a different.

[Ryan]

So there's different species of who's.

[Shane]

Who's all live on different little things.

[Angela]

I think hanging out in Whoville with my best friends is my fantasy.

[Amanda]

I wanted to travel. How do you get to another snow?

[Angela]

You don't need to.

[Shane]

Are there. Who's that? Live on a little piece of asbestos.

[Ryan]

That's probably what. That's probably what other planets are saying about Earth. They're like, well, what do they do if they want to leave Earth?

[Angela]

Well, oh, I wish we would go to Whoville together.

[Shane]

You know what?

[Amanda]

You know what this does is I can never fully close my mouth.

[Angela]

Yours is tight then.

[Amanda]

Tight.

[Ryan]

Yeah, it's pulling my. Like, whatever this muscle is above my left. Yep, it's pulling that.

[Angela]

But remember that part in the movie? He goes, 10 minutes till Christmas. And then I had Selena go, 10 minutes till you're getting miked. So there's like, little subtle, you know?

[Ryan]

That's awesome.

[Amanda]

You look like you're at. You're at your favorite pub by the lake house. That's, like, super rich and fancy, and you're six beers deep when you do that.

[Shane]

I'm telling you, Margaret's just not been paying attention.

[Angela]

But I can't serve you another.

[Shane]

No, it's. I can handle another.

[Angela]

Wow.

[Ryan]

He's. Okay.

[Amanda]

Such a good fricking story. And. And also, it's very interesting that you made me a demon. I know myself.

[Angela]

It's the opposite. It's my favorite comedic character in, like, all of history, and I gave it.

[Amanda]

To one of my favorites.

[Ryan]

I liked how big and heavy you made her footsteps.

[Angela]

What was that thing? We did something in some episode, and we were talking about you on the way, and we were like, boom, boom.

[Amanda]

I love it.

[Angela]

I think Spencer made that joke, and it made me laugh so hard.

[Amanda]

I freaking love it.

[Ryan]

Oh.

[Shane]

Well, I. I think I can say with. With absolute certainty that everything you guys wrote is better than mine. That it's more. At least. At the very least, it's more. More coherent than mine.

[Ryan]

Okay.

[Amanda]

Saved yours for last. I. I love this so much.

[Shane]

I wrote this very quickly.

[Ryan]

Whoa.

[Angela]

I love this so much.

[Ryan]

Whoa.

[Angela]

It's like my grandma's big bible.

[Shane]

I wrote this. I wrote this in Google Docs, so it's not formatted well. Do not read ahead.

[Ryan]

Okay. I was just looking at the font. I'm excited about this.

[Angela]

I just saw something in red.

[Ryan]

There's font and there's color.

[Amanda]

Like a TV script from the 50s.

[Shane]

Yeah. Okay.

[Ryan]

Never really leaves you.

[Shane]

So I titled this a very smosh Christmas.

[Angela]

Okay.

[Shane]

I Don't know if that's fitting because I titled it before I started writing it.

[Ryan]

Okay.

[Amanda]

Love that.

[Angela]

Yeah.

[Shane]

Okay, so you guys read yourselves. I will read anything else that comes up.

[Amanda]

Everything else.

[Shane]

Yeah, I'll read the stage direction, earn myself. All right, here we go. A very Smosh Christmas. It was only a few days before Christmas, and the Smosh gang was wrapping up on an episode of Smosh Mouth. Thanks for watching.

[Ryan]

Bye.

[Shane]

As the episode ends, the gang gives each other hugs and pats on the back like they do after every episode of everything they film at Smosh.

[Amanda]

Wow, guys, those were some crazy fan fictions.

[Angela]

Why is this gotta be in all caps? Yeah. I wish I had brought my glasses so I could read them.

[Ryan]

Angela.

[Angela]

Wait, I forgot them in my car.

[Ryan]

Oh, wait.

[Shane]

Angela reaches into her pocket and pulls out her glasses.

[Ryan]

Hee hee.

[Angela]

Oopsie.

[Shane]

Laughter all around. Just then, the faint, muffled sounds of singing is heard outside.

[Ryan]

Wait, is that carolers?

[Shane]

The gang rushes to the front door and flings it open, revealing the snowy night outside and a group of adorable carolers dressed in festive attire, singing Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all.

[Angela]

Get the fuck off our property.

[Shane]

Angela pepper sprays the carolers, who run away in fear and pain.

[Ryan]

Don't you ever come back. Yeah.

[Amanda]

Or else we'll kill you.

[Shane]

Phew. That was a close one. Christmas was almost ruined. Just then, bells begin chiming in the air.

[Ryan]

Whoa, whoa. This is psycho.

[Angela]

Wait, what? That sound.

[Ryan]

Shane.

[Shane]

It sounds like. Shane takes a few steps out into the road, looking up at the sky. The bells get louder and louder.

[Angela]

This is crazy.

[Shane]

Oh, my gosh, you guys, I think it's set. Just then, a Ford Fiesta hits him, launching him into the air, where he then explodes into fireworks.

[Amanda]

Oh my God, he exploded.

[Ryan]

I always knew he was fireworks.

[Angela]

Again with this fucking bot. It's getting bigger and bigger and it.

[Amanda]

Says, but like butt.

[Angela]

But wait, who was driving? The Ford Fiesta.

[Shane]

The Ford Fiesta swerves and crashes into the Smosh mailbox, which looks like a pink donut or some shit. The door.

[Amanda]

I love that.

[Shane]

The door opens, revealing a plump old man with a thick white beard and red coat and hat.

[Amanda]

Oh, my God. Is that. Oh my God, what's his name? He's in that one movie. Oh, shoot. Wait, what's it called? Oh, he's such a great actor. Oh, Chris Klein. No, no.

[Ryan]

Oh, shoot.

[Angela]

Who is it?

[Ryan]

It's Santa Claus.

[Amanda]

No, Santa. Fuck you.

[Shane]

Santa stumbles up to the cake. They can now see he's holding a nearly empty bottle of Jack Daniels.

[Ryan]

Oh, God.

[Shane]

Smosh. You need to save Christmas.

[Ryan]

No way. You killed our friend. Whoa.

[Amanda]

Please. You guys can't tell, but it's great.

[Angela]

You launched him into the sky and blew him up.

[Shane]

Oh, shit. Okay, yeah, I didn't. I didn't see that. All right. Oh, I can fix this. Santa kneels down and begins scooping up snow. We just gotta rebuild him and put a little hat to make him alive.

[Amanda]

Are you drunk?

[Ryan]

No, guys, I believe him. Let's rebuild our friend.

[Shane]

The gang then begins rebuilding Shane with snow. And not only that, they built him to be 7ft tall with angel wings. Once complete, they set up a ladder, which Angela climbed up holding a gentleman's hat and placed it up on top of his head. Immediately, sparkles dazzled around, and the giant's snowy form turned human.

[Amanda]

It's working.

[Ryan]

He turned real.

[Angela]

La navidad si salva.

[Amanda]

Oh, God.

[Ryan]

Jesus.

[Shane]

Whoa. What happened?

[Ryan]

Oh, my God.

[Shane]

I can fly. Shane begins flapping his new wings, rising up high into the air.

[Amanda]

I'm flying.

[Ryan]

I'm flying.

[Angela]

Yay.

[Ryan]

Christmas is saved.

[Shane]

Shane flies up higher and higher, laughing with glee. This is amazing, you guys. This is the best Christmas gift. Gift.

[Amanda]

Ev.

[Shane]

A Boeing Airbus flies directly into Shane, exploding him into fireworks. Everyone screams. Well, shit. Everyone goes inside except Angela, who stares up at the Christmas night sky.

[Amanda]

All right. Nightmare. There's no way she can read that. Wait a second. Yikes.

[Angela]

Hold on, hold on.

[Ryan]

I read it.

[Amanda]

I got it.

[Angela]

Merry Christmas to all until all a good night.

[Ryan]

Angela.

[Shane]

I was banking on you not being able to read it. And then Chance's line is, angela, you forgot your glasses. At the end, I realized I'm like, oh, you can put it in 1% font.

[Amanda]

I love the different fonts because it makes it so fun.

[Angela]

I love your brain. What the fuck is wrong with you?

[Ryan]

My favorite was says Ford Fiesta.

[Amanda]

Also Santa being wasted.

[Shane]

Just the fact that Santa's driving a Ford Fiesta on the night of before Christmas. Yeah, we're the reindeer.

[Angela]

I really died. You got to fly. She went to our mailbox.

[Shane]

I got to fly that. I got hit by a Boeing Airbus.

[Ryan]

And you got to be 7ft.

[Angela]

And he went to our mailbox, and it's a pink donut or whatever.

[Ryan]

You guys remember the book series Maximum Rise?

[Angela]

No, no, not the time. I think this was so good.

[Amanda]

No, not the time.

[Shane]

Can I tell you, Amanda, that one line I wrote, that. That came out of my brain, like, as I was writing it. I was like, oh, my God, is that. Oh, my God, what's his name?

[Amanda]

It's literally What I do all the time. I do it all the time. And what sucks is, like, my sister does it, and it drives me nuts when she does it. But I'm always like, what's that name? We have to cut so much out of Smoshmallows. I'm always like, wait, wait, wait. What's that guy's name?

[Shane]

And it'll be funny.

[Amanda]

And Spencer's here. He's like, y. What's his name?

[Shane]

It'll be some actor that most people watching will be like, don't.

[Ryan]

You are all, what.

[Angela]

What is. What is his name?

[Amanda]

I'm like, you know, three men and a little baby. That guy with a big mustache. What's his name? What's his name?

[Shane]

At the end, it's like, oh, Tom Selleck.

[Amanda]

And then people go, who don't know who he is?

[Shane]

Okay, awesome. Tom Selleck. We got it.

[Ryan]

But there's power in a name.

[Amanda]

I just have to know.

[Angela]

Wow. These are all so different.

[Amanda]

This. This was really good.

[Angela]

Yeah. A very smosh Christmas.

[Shane]

A very smosh Christmas. We hate carolers. It's snowing outside in Southern California.

[Angela]

Made it readable for me. It was awesome.

[Ryan]

I'm glad that it started off, I.

[Shane]

Did the all caps, and then that made me laugh really hard. And then I was like, oh, let me put it into Comic Sans. And then I just started around.

[Amanda]

These fonts are so, like. Comedy. Yeah, comedy fonts.

[Shane]

Oh, yeah. The one where it's a full rainbow is really fun, but powerful. I enjoyed that.

[Amanda]

Blew him launch.

[Shane]

The Christmas is saved.

[Angela]

Oh.

[Shane]

At least according to Google Translate.

[Ryan]

Okay.

[Amanda]

This is so freaking good.

[Angela]

How long did you guys spend on yours?

[Shane]

Oh, I probably wrote less than 30 minutes.

[Angela]

Oh, I think mine, like, I don't know.

[Shane]

Within an hour.

[Ryan]

Yeah, a couple. Couple hours. Yeah.

[Shane]

Whoa.

[Angela]

No, but yours, yours. I'm glad we started with yours, because it was like, it set the scene.

[Shane]

We got the quality out. Yeah.

[Ryan]

And then we got.

[Shane]

Yeah, that's how writing works. You get the good stuff out, and then you get to write a bunch.

[Angela]

Of bullshit, and then you play with fonts.

[Shane]

I love fonts. You have a good time. You paint.

[Amanda]

I also love having, like, a writing deadline. A writing deadline.

[Shane]

If there were inserted images on the screen, I almost. I almost took a photo of a line and then had. Had it uploaded onto it.

[Ryan]

Oh, yeah. I love that. Big fan of that.

[Shane]

I hope this got people into the Christmas spirit. I know it got me into the Christmas spirit.

[Angela]

This is, like a fun. A fun way to, like, celebrate. Christmas is, like, kind of like just.

[Ryan]

Do a little thing even with your friends.

[Amanda]

Yeah.

[Angela]

Like your family writing for each other is so fun.

[Ryan]

Yeah, I love it.

[Angela]

We don't do it enough.

[Amanda]

You don't do it enough. It's so funny. I also have a question. Do you think anyone saw us leaving that old tin trash can that was in the smash studio in your sketch?

[Ryan]

Yeah, productions. Like I saw them. They were just here.

[Angela]

I imagine it like Chance opens the top and he's like, like. And he doesn't even fall in.

[Shane]

It's just like it like eats you.

[Amanda]

Fun though. I love that. But then we never show up for set we should do.

[Ryan]

I like to think that it's like Narnia rules. So then when we go in, we come out right at the same time and it's been.

[Shane]

No time has. No time has passed. The tin can thing has me wondering did the kids come out of. Did the kids come out of Narnia and they were like, yeah, I've had sex and killed people now like 100%. I have to go back to being 12.

[Ryan]

They're full ass adults and they're kings and queens.

[Angela]

They have sex in Narnia.

[Shane]

Well, they live a whole life. Well are they?

[Angela]

Well no, but they don't have sex.

[Ryan]

Okay. That's what you should write fanfics about. Wait, which movie about Narnia sex shit. What?

[Amanda]

Which movie was that one in?

[Shane]

Well they.

[Ryan]

In the origin the first movie they lived.

[Shane]

They went from kids say they have like. They're full adults.

[Ryan]

50 year old people. They're like that Narnia for 50 years.

[Amanda]

Okay.

[Angela]

But they don't have sex in it.

[Shane]

What are you saying? That they were virgins for 50 years?

[Angela]

Some people are. And that's okay.

[Shane]

That's okay.

[Amanda]

That's okay. But not Narnia.

[Shane]

But they've definitely done adult.

[Ryan]

Okay.

[Shane]

At least were smoked a blunt in there.

[Ryan]

I know Peter ain't no virgin. Looking. Looking the way he do all that.

[Shane]

One of them at least had to have gotten laid in.

[Amanda]

Do you think that there were blunts and Narnia probably magical.

[Shane]

You think that satyr wasn't rolling.

[Ryan]

I know Martha. Martha is getting laid in Whoville. That is isn't is is the lion.

[Shane]

The Witch and the Wardrobe a Christmas movie?

[Angela]

I think it's a snow movie.

[Ryan]

Snow movie.

[Amanda]

It's no there's a difference between a winter solstice movie and a Christmas.

[Angela]

Maybe good fellas. Goodfellas takes place. There's a day in Christmas it's not Christmas.

[Amanda]

Goodfellas is a Christmas Movie. So it's different.

[Angela]

National Treasure. It's a Christmas at some point.

[Ryan]

Iron Man 2 or Iron Man 3?

[Angela]

What are movies where they. There's like a Christmas moment.

[Shane]

Technically. Technically I would argue It's a Wonderful Life. Like It's a Wonderful Life takes place over the course of a lot of time. And then it's Christmas at the end. And it's. It's kind of weird that that gets labeled as a Christmas movie when it's like the end is Christmas. I guess it's Christmas night that it takes but like it follows his whole life.

[Amanda]

I want to hear your guys favorite Christmas movies. So put in the comments.

[Shane]

You guys, what is your favorite. What's everyone's favorite Christmas movie?

[Angela]

Mine is Ron Howard's Christmas can you.

[Amanda]

Start Christmas Home Alone.

[Angela]

Home Alone.

[Amanda]

Home Alone.

[Angela]

That's a good one.

[Shane]

It's gotta be Home Alone.

[Ryan]

I know you don't like it, but the Polar Express.

[Angela]

I love the Polar Express.

[Shane]

I. I think I was that.

[Amanda]

I don't like the animation of it. It freaks me out.

[Angela]

Yeah, I liked the book. We were a little old.

[Shane]

I was obsessed with the book too.

[Angela]

Can I tell you the day I saw Polar Express? I don't know why. This memory is like seared into my brain. The day I got. I saw Polar Express was the day I got my first Live Strong bracelet.

[Shane]

Wow.

[Amanda]

Wow.

[Ryan]

Wait. I want to change my answer to Jingle all the Way.

[Amanda]

Jingle all the Way is such a good.

[Ryan]

That's a hundred percent, I think.

[Amanda]

Livestrong. I definitely had one of those for sure.

[Angela]

What's your favorite Christmas movie?

[Amanda]

Mine is tricky. Here's the thing. I was just talking to my friends about this. I have a forced Christmas movie that I was forced to watch at my aunt's house that I hate. But like everyone loves A Christmas story.

[Ryan]

Oh, me too.

[Amanda]

Forced to watch it.

[Ryan]

Yes, me too.

[Amanda]

And I can't stand it.

[Angela]

I hate that movie.

[Amanda]

I hate it so much. And so people love it. But I was forced to watch it.

[Shane]

I don't love that movie. I think it has really funny parts. But I feel like it's a movie that unless you were like. Like the right age when it came out or like it. It hits your nostalgia right?

[Amanda]

It's like his tongue gets stuck to the pole. It's like fine. But I love Home Alone obviously. That's like a comfort movie. And it used to be love actually. But I haven't watched it.

[Angela]

Oh, that's a good one.

[Amanda]

And I love Die Hard. I truly love that as a Christmas movie.

[Angela]

Oh, I forget it takes me.

[Ryan]

No, it's not a Christmas.

[Angela]

Wait, hold on. This is a fun question. What's your guys's, like, favorite Christmas sketch? Because there's so many. There's sweaty balls this Christmas.

[Shane]

Oh, sweaty balls.

[Angela]

There's. There's. When they're all like, my boyfriend is Santa. Oh, I love so many things.

[Ryan]

Okay, there's Dick in a box is Christmas.

[Angela]

There's so many good things.

[Ryan]

There's an SNL sketch where they are singers and you don't know what's going on most of the sketch. And it's revealed at the end of the sketch that these three singers are raccoons that made a wish to be human for one night. It's on snl. I think it's called Three Sisters or something. And most of the sketch, you don't know what's going on unless you've seen it before. Like, why are these women acting so weird? They're like, mm, yum, yum. Trash. If we lose this bet, we'll eat trash. We get to eat trash. And the guy's like, you get to eat trash. You have no idea what's going on. You have to watch it.

[Shane]

Oh, my God. That type of shit is the best.

[Ryan]

It's so bizarre.

[Angela]

I watched this every Christmas. Me and my brother watch it every year. And it's this old sketch with Will Frell and he's on a turn style thing. Have you seen this? He's. There's a choir behind him and he's like a. He's like a. Like a Christmas telethon guy. And he's. He's turning, right? He's. He's stuck on one of those things and keeps turning. And he's going, merry Christmas. And he goes, I'm going to barf.

[Amanda]

This thing's going too.

[Angela]

And they have like a whole vomit thing.

[Shane]

Oh, my God.

[Amanda]

I need to see this asap.

[Angela]

My brother laugh so hard. I watch it every Christmas and I.

[Shane]

Think back on my favorite Christmas sketches because there are so many good ones. Sweaty balls is, though, so good. That's such an I love dick in a box.

[Angela]

Oh, my God. When Alec Baldwin does Glengarry Glenn Ross. But as the elf.

[Shane]

Oh, yeah, we.

[Angela]

Brass balls. It's gonna take brass balls. And he's like. He does the full scene and I.

[Ryan]

Can'T talk about this episode of Codename Kids in Next Door enough where it's a parody of X Men combined with Christmas.

[Angela]

Yeah, everyone's talking about red one like.

[Ryan]

Johnny because it looks psycho crazy.

[Angela]

What is the Plot.

[Amanda]

It doesn't look good.

[Ryan]

It looks awful.

[Angela]

Like, what is the. Like, it's supposed to be insane. Right. The plot is supposed to be like.

[Amanda]

I don't know, the polar bears.

[Shane]

I'll end this. I'll end this on a pretty controversial.

[Amanda]

Take that I have.

[Shane]

So there's been some good animated Christmas movies in the past. And when did. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe. Okay, so when did Jim Carrey's Grinch come out?

[Ryan]

2006.

[Angela]

2000.

[Amanda]

Yeah, around that time.

[Shane]

2000. Okay, okay, so my. My point stands. I think Elf was the last, like, legendary Christmas movie. Yeah. Live action Christmas movie that came out. There's been some good animated ones, but they're not like. I'm talking ones that are, like, impactful, that become part of Christmas.

[Angela]

You don't get them every year.

[Shane]

And it's tough because it's just like. Like, it's. Movies aren't the same as they used to be. But I feel like Elf was the last one that's like that one.

[Angela]

You're so right.

[Shane]

Awesome. And it's fully a Christmas movie.

[Ryan]

I can't even think of.

[Shane]

I mean, look, maybe I'm wrong. And if I'm wrong, put them down in the comments because I want to watch them.

[Angela]

You know, people say Christmas movie, I.

[Shane]

Want to watch them.

[Angela]

It's Carol, the lesbian drama with.

[Amanda]

Do you know what's so weird is I talked to my friend about that movie this morning and I haven't mentioned that movie since I saw it years ago this morning.

[Angela]

Our call time was 8:00am Yeah, I sent her phone call.

[Amanda]

No, I sent her. I sent her a Marco.

[Shane]

She went and had brunch at six.

[Amanda]

No, no, no, no, no. There's this thing called Marco Polo where you can send people on the East Coast a thing, and then they can watch it anytime they want. Okay. It's like a Marco Polo. It's. I've been using it forever.

[Ryan]

Oh, my God.

[Angela]

But I think you're right. I don't think classic movies are made.

[Amanda]

But I was literally talking about Carol this morning.

[Angela]

That's so weird. That's a Christmas movie too. I'm trying to think that's like a classic one with.

[Ryan]

This is. I really enjoyed the one that came out last year that was like the Die Hard meets. Oh, Die Hard meets Home Alone Chris. Santa.

[Shane]

Oh, I know what you're talking about. Yeah, yeah. You're talking about the. The guy from Stranger Things.

[Ryan]

Yes.

[Shane]

And he was Santa and he beats up a bunch, and I really.

[Angela]

Oh, bad Santa. Not bad Santa.

[Shane]

Violent.

[Ryan]

I really enjoy it.

[Shane]

It's really good. But it's. It's not like wasn't. It's not of the caliber. I'm talking like a Christmas movie that's like a feel good friendly Christmas.

[Amanda]

These. These action heroes either go John Wick route or freaking crazy Christmas route.

[Angela]

Red one is supposed to be insane. It's like a rescue mission or something.

[Ryan]

That's not.

[Shane]

That doesn't.

[Angela]

I know. You need like a. We need like a. Like a classic.

[Shane]

I'm talking classic like feel good like.

[Ryan]

Oh, this.

[Shane]

Speaking.

[Amanda]

Remember Jack Frost?

[Ryan]

Elfil.

[Shane]

Yeah, we were just.

[Amanda]

That movie is.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Angela]

We went on. Yes. There's a video and we went off on this movie in this. I wonder if they'll cut it. But like we went off about that movie for like so long.

[Amanda]

It's so. It's.

[Angela]

It's.

[Amanda]

I thought it was so good growing up and I watched it back. I was like, what?

[Ryan]

You know this. The snowman was supposed to be George Clooney originally.
