--->'''Voiceover''': Thanks for subscribing! Oh, and ask your friends if they want to join the [=PEN15=] Club. And then write [=PEN15=] on their hands. It's a really funny joke. (chuckles) Actually, someone did it to me. And I didn't think it was funny at all!!

* HomosexualReproduction: In "I have a secret son" when two people hold each others right hand, the mommy gets pregnant and the baby pops out of the mommy's tummy. Which happened to Anthony when he held Stevie's right hand.

* SelfDeprecation: Anthony has said that "Stranded" winning the 2006 [=YouTube=] Award for Best Comedy showed how little comedy there was back when [=YouTube=] started, because apparently there had to have been no competition for their short to win.

''[[https://www.youtube.com/user/smosh Smosh]]'' is a comedic Website/YouTube sketch comedy channel co-founded by the Smosh duo, Ian Hecox and Anthony Padilla.

The duo parted in 2017 when Anthony left to pursue independent works on [[https://www.youtube.com/user/AnthonyPadilla his solo channel]]. In early November 2018, ''[=Smosh's=]'' parent company (Defy Media) shut down and brought ''Smosh'' and ''Smosh Games'' to a hiatus. WebVideo/RhettAndLink's Mythical Entertainment acquired ''Smosh'' in late February 2019. However in mid 2023, the brand was reaquaired by Ian, and Anthony returned as well.

* In "PARANORMAL EASY BAKE OVEN", Anthony makes Ian sleep in his bed with him, and is even naked on the final night. Anthony also tried to make out with Ian in his sleep.
* "My Magical Tapeworm" has Anthony accidentally sprouting breasts thanks to the eponymous worm, and Ian groping them.

* ExcitedShowTitle: Subverted. The short was originally titled "MOLESTER MOON!", but the exclamation mark has since been removed.

** In [[https://youtu.be/tZcySbmO798 I CAN HEAR YOUR THOUGHTS]], Ian is shown shaking a large bottle of soda in the corner (making it look like [[ADateWithRosiePalms something else]]. Later, when Ian's dog begins humping him, Anthony opens the bottle of soda and it spews all over the place.

* ADateWithRosiePalms: Implied with this joke in "iPhone 5 Revealed:" "[[VideoGame/{{Pokemon}} i have a cubone! i better marowak it...and after i beedrillin' i squirtle and i get drowzee]]"

*** Ian building up a wall of pillows to stop Anthony touching him in his sleep (eventually Anthony [[ADateWithRosiePalms just starts touching himself]]).

** Charlie the Drunk Guinea Pig appears in '''''WebVideo/AnnoyingOrange''': [[https://youtu.be/g_h9isVGcE8 Saw 2: Annoying Death Trap]]''.

* WeAllLiveInAmerica: A lot of the stuff on Smosh Pit doesn't make any sense for non-americans

* MeddlingParents: Billy's mother thinks ''WesternAnimation/{{Bambi}}'' is too inappropriate for him.

* AluminumChristmasTrees: Despite how inaccurate later generations of Pokemon makes it seem, the "Charizard can't learn FLY" gag was actually TRUE in [[VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue the original games]]. Only since ''Pokemon Yellow'' could Charizard learn Fly.

* BaitAndSwitch: In the ending of "If Video Games Were Real", Ian bumps into a bookshelf, which falls on him and ten years pass, and a skeleton is seen under the bookshelf. However, the skeleton is not Ian's, as he then walks up and angrily asks who left the skeleton under the bookshelf.

* AluminumChristmasTrees: Despite how [[CriticalResearchFailure inaccurate]] later generations of Pokemon makes it seem, the "Charizard can't learn FLY" gag was actually TRUE in [[VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue the original games]]. Only since ''Pokemon Yellow'' could Charizard learn Fly.

* CriticalResearchFailure: Invoked for laughs. Many contents in the videos don't match several things from ''Pokemon'' game.

* RainbowPuke: In "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UzJIrtw8WZE Parents SUCK!]]", Anthony defiantly binges on Skittles, then is showing throwing up a rainbow stream of the candies.
-->All these whack fruit snacks with only five in a pack...\\
"Only eat one!" F*ck that, I'll snack till I yack!

* AnAxeToGrind: ''Axe Murderer''. Ian thinks an intruder is going to attack, but really [[spoiler: The "murderer", AKA Anthony, is only trying to return the axe.]]

** The two also appear as a couple of random {{Mooks}} in Machinima/RedVsBlue season 9.

* {{Troll}}: Old Man in ''3''. He advised Ash to fight Hispter to get Pokeflute. The fight is so frustrating for Ash since Hipster uses Metapod that is nothing but a StoneWall, wasting so much of his time with the battle. After winning the battle by scaring Hipster by threatening him to attack with Charizard, it turns out Hipster doesn't have the flute at all and gave Ash an Okarina instead. Then he told Ash Pokeflute can only be bought from the Old Man. Ash then angrily asks he want to buy Pokeflute from Old Man, who said Ash has to battle him first, with his ''[[UpToEleven six]]'' Metapods.

** Taken UpToEleven at the end of "[[https://youtu.be/uuA-7qxd2A0&t=3m57s Manspider]]".

* ItRunsOnNonsenseoleum: Most Smosh vids, but the Food Battles take this UpToEleven (and even [[LampshadeHanging lampshade it]] in Food Battle 2012.)

* NakedPeopleAreFunny: Frequently, accompanied with appropriate {{pixellation}}. Taken UpToEleven with "I'M NAKED!", even though [[spoiler:Ian's the only one in the buff.]]

** Almost everything Professor Oak says in "JURASSIC POKEMON" is this UpToEleven.

** All Natural
** Contains 50,000% of Your Daily Dose of Vitamin B6
** and Benzoylmethylecgonine (cocaine)
* At the end of "WE FOUND A DEAD GUY!", Anthony shows off the new, renovated living room to Ian. He got a new rug, some new furniture, and a new toilet. Yes, also in the living room.

* NiceHat: The Old Man is never seen without his top hat.

* ScaryFlashlightFace: Ian gets one when he first mentions Molester Moon, though it's unclear who exactly gives it to him.
