5	''Ghetto Smosh'' is a Website/YouTube channel dedicated to creating [[GagDub Gag Dubs]] of classic WebVideo/{{Smosh}} skits, reimagining them as following the (usually weed-related) misadventures of Ian Hesmokes and Antwon Rodriguez.

7	The channel can be found [[https://www.youtube.com/@GhettoSmosh here]]. As of late 2023, most of their videos have been privated due to direct legal action from Smosh. However, the creators have also started up a new channel called [[https://www.youtube.com/@ghettocentral Ghetto Central]], focusing on dubs of other series.
8	----
9	!!Tropes found in ''Ghetto Smosh'' include:
10	* AdaptationalContextChange: Goes with being a GagDub of ''SMOSH''. One notable example is "PERC 30 DISASTER!!!", which stitches together "SMOSH VS ZOMBIES", "SLEEPING PILL DISASTER" and even ''Smosh: The Movie'' to produce a narrative about Ian and Antwon dealing with "gas station tweakers", consuming the titular drug, and having a drug trip so bad [[EarthShatteringKaboom they blow up the Earth]].
11	* AffectionateParody: Of WebVideo/{{Smosh}}, as well as late-2000's and early 2010's [=YouTube=] in general.
12	* AerithAndBob: Ghetto Ian keeps his name from the regular Smosh videos, but Anthony is now named Antwon, which even outside context is a fairly uncommon name. Their last names reverse this dynamic, with Antwon having the actual last name "Rodriguez" and Ghetto Ian having "Hesmokes."
13	* AmbiguouslyBrown: Ghetto Ian, Antwon and Ghetto Gamer are implied to be dark-skinned (mostly due to multiple mentions of "white bitches") and yet the footage shows Ian and Anthony, two people who are clearly white. Most fan-art represents them as brown.
14	* AnachronismStew: It's not exactly sure what time Ghetto Smosh videos take place. At first glance, it would be safe to assume the videos take place either in present day or when the original videos were posted, but there's multiple implications that make the timeline hard to pin down. Mentions of [[VideoGame/NBA2K 2K12]] implies the videos take place in 2011, and yet a bong showing [[WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty Morty and King Jellybean]] is shown in two videos, implying the series is set in early 2014 at it's earliest. [[note]]WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty's first season premiered in December of 2013, but the episode King Jellybean appears in, [[Recap/RickAndMortyS1E5MeeseeksAndDestroy Meeseeks & Destroy]], premiered on January 13, 2014. Unless the bong was commissioned specifically by Ghetto Ian or Antwon, bootleg merch of Rick and Morty wouldn't be a thing until around season 2, where the show started to become extremely popular.[[/note]]
15	* AscendedExtra: Ghetto Gamer is a recurring character here, compared to his ''SMOSH'' equivalent (the title character from "GAMER GETS TROLLED") only being a one-off.
16	* CouchGag: The series adopts the "Shut up!" intro gag from ''SMOSH''.
17	* DisproportionateRetribution: From "ASSASSINS WEED RAP!!!":
18	-->''Shoot a nigga in the face with my Glock\
19	If he doesn't sub to Ghetto Smosh''
20	* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness:
21	** Early videos were straightforward [[GagDub Gag Dubs]] of single ''Smosh'' videos, with the more original plots that use multiple source videos coming later.
22	** It took a few videos for the main cast's voices to be settled. In particular, Antwon started with a (relatively) restrained voice in "GHETTO GAMER GETS MESSED WITH" before gradually evolving into having his characteristic NoIndoorVoice and cheap microphone.
23	** Before "WEEDLESS STONER!", the videos used the ''VideoGame/SaintsRow2'' menu theme as its ending song, replaced now by a remix of "Ian is Bored", the actual ''Smosh'' ending song.
24	* FeelNoPain: The Gas Station Tweakers in "PERC 30 DISASTER!!!" survive Ian's gunshots thanks to the effects of their gas station weed (in the original video, it was because Ian was an absurdly bad shot).
25	-->''Nigga they so high, I swear they in another dimension! They can't even feel nothing!''
26	* FormulaBreakingEpisode: "MY J'S CAN TALK!?!?", against all odds and known laws of the universe, [[spoiler:manages to go for its entire length without making a single weed reference]].
27	* GhettoName: Anthony is rechristened as "Antwon".
28	* HostileShowTakeover: The aptly named "THIS CHANNEL HAS BEEN HACKED BY CLASSY SMOSH!!!" has the titular characters "hijack" Ghetto Smosh and do their version of "GHETTO GAMER GETS MESSED WITH" with exaggerated flairs of BritishStuffiness. It doesn't last long as Ghetto Smosh regained control at the end of the video.
29	* NWordPrivileges: Earned and used liberally.
30	* NoIndoorVoice: Antwon speaks like this. Combined with his often poor mic quality, it borders on cacophonic.
31	* OurZombiesAreDifferent: The "gas station tweakers" from "PERC 30 DISASTER!!!", who were zombies in the source video.
32	* {{Retraux}}: The show's intentionally low resolution and audio quality is meant to imitate turn-of-the-2010's [=YouTube=]. Though not a strict rule, the video's cultural references are also rooted in that time period.
33	* RetroUniverse: The videos are ostensibly set in the present day ("MY J'S CAN TALK!?!?" features Kobe Bryant in heaven for example), but the vast majority of its cultural references seem to come from no later than 2013. The fact that the ''SMOSH'' source videos are from that era also means that their fashion, entertainment and technology choices are rooted around 2010 as well.
34	* RunningGag: When there's a knock on the door, Ian usually says "Ayo that's the plug at the door", regardless of who is outside the door.
35	* ShoddyKnockoffProduct: "MY J’S CAN TALK!?!?" revolves around this, with Ian gifting Antwon a pair of fake Nike Jordan sneakers while claiming it was signed by Michael Jordan. It turns out to be sentient and, at the end of the video, belonged to Kobe Bryant.
36	* SongParody: ''Ghetto Smosh'' have done "ASSASSINS WEED RAP!!!" (based on "ULTIMATE ASSASSINS CREED 3 SONG") and "LEGEND OF THE PLUG!!!" (based on "THE LEGEND OF ZELDA RAP").
37	* TheStoner: ''Everyone'', without exception.
38	* StonerFlick: Effectively ''SMOSH'' adapted into being one.
39	* StylisticSuck: The videos imitate the low resolution and cheap audio quality that was endemic of this era of [=YouTube=] videos. Some of the videos are available to watch in 4K, which doesn't actually do anything.
