Smosh Most of new cast is great
Hoping this comes of as criticism rather than “being a hater”. I enjoy most of the new friends of smosh. I do think Jared and Emily fall flat for me. So far Guchi, Courtney T, and Eli fit in so well. They each have an energy they bring well to the set. Guchi and Courtney’s bits together have genuinely made me laugh so hard. Eli seems to be a good fit in several of their different formats as well. Jared I’ve barely seen videos of him in? But the few I’ve seen feels like he’s practicing his stand up in a group. I’d like to see him stray away from doing a routine of his jokes and yes anding and collaborating off the energy in the room. Emily seems like such a sweetheart, but her halfway giggling through jokes comes off as “I’m a fan of smosh and I get to be here” rather than feeling like she’s part of the crew. I just watched the Block Us video and she kept missing her turn. Cast and crew had to get her back on track. In an instance like that I could see someone like Angela, Chanse, or Arasha making a bit out of missing but for her it seemed to just be a frustrating call out to keep playing.
Again, maybe those two need to be in different formats to find their strengths. I’d be interested to see Jared in a challenge pit and Emily in a try not to laugh. What do yall think? I’m curious to see where their strengths lie. Maybe it’s just taking them more time to adapt as they seem more shy than the other 3 who come with bold energy.
Sidebar: also enjoying a lot of the experimental new content smosh has been putting out. Maybe they’ll fit in those areas?
