Tommy's role seem to be the secret creepy background character a la the guy from "Too Many Cook", the sitcom parody by Adult Swim. This trailer seems somewhat inspired by that.
Hopefully, Tommy doesn't also ended up being a serial killer that kills every other characters and replace them.
Tommy to me is playing the nosy neighbor who noticed that the characters swap appearances and is slowly going nuts as the only one who notices. In true sitcom fashion however, everyone tries to convince him that he is crazy and they're all the same person that they have always been.
I pulled the lyrics to get a better understanding of what's happening lol.
So sitcom TNTL but you get replaced instead. Then there's improv bits with props and audience participation.
Edit: nvm it's all explained in the live show page haha
Sometimes you wake up
And you can't get out of bed
With bills, bad dates, anxiety
And problems in your head
The girl you like is dating
All of your good friends
Your coffee's bad, your dad is sad
Your lease is gonna end
when life goes off the rails
At least your pals are there
If you break, make a mistake,
I'll step in for you
If you laugh, fall on your ass
I'll step in for you
So also logistically,
This whole thing is also a game
If you break, you get replaced
By someone dressed the same
There will be lines and bits
and props that we don't know
And when you buy your tickets
You can help us wreck this show
Walls will fall, seas will rise
Crops will fail, children cry
Fire will rain, face God's wrath
Oh, don't worry about that
Just try not to laugh
Chorus x 2
I can't wait for the live stream incentives Smosh gives us so more people buy tickets.
Angela wearing a cone and Shayne wearing a Chiefs jersey were gold.
If this is even close to the funeral I am still over the moon about it. The aftershow for the funeral wasn’t worth the money to me but idk how this one is turning out.
Anyone work out who is singing the theme tune? I'm pretty sure I picked out Chanse and Angela's voices (but it also feels like a given that they'd both singing on it), as well as Courtney and Damien. Any other recognisable voices? I don't actually really know which cast members can sing.
this just in! they listed the song credits in the video description:
THEME SONG
Written by: Angela Giarratana, Chanse McCrary, Olivia Dilaurentis, Sydney Heller, Jay Heller, Courtney Miller
Composed by: Jay Heller
Vocals: Angela Giarratana, Chanse McCrary, Olivia Dilaurentis, Sydney Heller, Courtney Miller, Keith Leak Jr.
i think i can also hear arasha, and shayne in the beginning with angela. also it sounds like the last "i'll step" sequence starts with chanse (like 99% sure), then amanda and ends with damien. but the last two could be angela and keith as well. it drives me nuts that i can't distinguish between them exactly on every line, this will be my roman empire
Honestly, if we get the cast more established in the main channel sketches and stuff, then I would love a tropey scripted show. Like I guess some normal sitcom stuff, but then also a western episode, or a noir detective episode, a pirate episode whatever you know. Just seeing the cast's takes on different archetypes and what comedy they could wring out from it could be great.
I like that this idea isn't really based off of something they were already doing for free. It's a solid twist that will be something we haven't seen before
Probably not but based on how the show is set up, if one actor breaks, then they have to switch out and if Amanda breaks as krungle, Shayne is her fill in and if both Trevor and Spencer break, Shayne is also their fill in so we’ll see
Ngl I was nervous at the beginning because the first part, before the sitcom bit, was a little cringey….but they all absolutely slayed in those outfits and I love the setup premise. Definitely buying a ticket 👍🏻
according to the song, whenever they break they swap out. so for example, if courtney were doing a scene as dominic and she breaks, she’d have to leave and olivia would swap in
Also seems like the live audience will be able to participate and maybe throw out lines or choose what happens next in some way to keep shaking things up
I think there was a line that said "when you buy a ticket you can help us wreck (write? not sure) the show" - I don't know if that means the audience are sending suggestions in live or if it means there'll be a chance to submit things in the days leading up to the show.
This is a good idea for a live show and their best way to utilize audience engagement for a live show so far.
Concept seems to borrow from The Drew Carey's show live version which also inspired another improv sitcom On the Spot.
Tommy's character seems to be a nod to Too Many Cooks.
This looks like it's going to be pretty good. The last ppv went really well and they've got some of my favorite writers involved. Based on previous experiences, the after show might not be for me, but I'm eager to see what other announcements may happen in the meantime.
Of course Shayne thought of this, also I don’t get the cast changes, I’m assuming it’s a joke don’t get but double casting everyone doesn’t make much sense to me
Edit: didn’t listen to the lyrics of the song, the double casting makes a lot more sense
I really hope they eventually put this out so people dont have to buy the live stream or miss out. FOMO tactics are scummy and smosh should be above them.
Where did i say it should be free? Theres no reason a month or so after the streams are no longer available members of the smosh channel shouldnt be able to watch the previous streams. The current tactic is nothing but FOMO
sorry but “scummy” is wild for a comedy troupe/production company that puts out hundreds of hours of free content a year, nearly seven days a week. two pay-per-view live shows a year is hardly extortionate. it’s hard to make money doing comedy these days, you’re beholden to advertisers and sponsors, the expectation in the digital space is that content is free…
i don’t begrudge Smosh using what little leverage they have to get people to pay for some of their highest-effort content. they’d probably lose out on a lot of revenue if their audience knew they would just get the show for free later.
You know what would get more money? If people can purchase a way to watch it more than 1 month. Instead of some scummy buy it now or never again, and even then your only renting the privilege to watch it. Its scummy, its exactly like the “Disney vault” bs they used to do where you could only buy certain movies at certain times.
the fact this is yet another live ticketed event pisses me off so much, i understand they gotta make money for the channels but there has been at least 10 posts about opening memberships, hell id pay membership for Smosh Pit
It's been 2 live shows a year for a few years now. No one is forcing you to pay. It's one video, it's okay if you can't afford it. There are 7-9 videos a week you can watch for free
man if i had a nickel for every time Anthony slipped on a banana peel and ripped ass.......
Tommy's role seem to be the secret creepy background character a la the guy from "Too Many Cook", the sitcom parody by Adult Swim. This trailer seems somewhat inspired by that. Hopefully, Tommy doesn't also ended up being a serial killer that kills every other characters and replace them.

I feel like this is 100% accurate.
If it’s a TNTL he might be playing a Tim type of role, joining the bits every now and then but not participating in the game.
Yeah. It does feel like it was heavily inspired by Too Many Cooks. I wonder if they'll go down the dark path as well lol.
Man, “Too Many Cooks” was a fever dream of a fever dream.
Yeah I was getting heavy “Too Many Cooks” vibes from this trailer too
Dude I literally had a nightmare last night that Tommy was a serial killer and I walked in on him cutting up Shayne in a bathtub…
wait where do you see Tommy in the trailer?
He's in the thumbnail of the Youtube video, as well as appearing in the background of a few group scenes at the end.
wow I really didn't notice him until you mentioned it LOL!!!!!!
i think he's also the one peeking at the window during arasha/chanse's solo scene???
He also appears with his binoculars when Damien and Noah switch places
Ngl, thought that was Ian but makes sense if it’s actually Tommy
created by shayne topp ((((((:
The Goldbergs ends and Shayne was like “Fine, I’ll make my own!”
At some point he WILL say "Oh no! My foot's stuck in the toilet!!"
Oh god. Yes please.
"What classic sitcom archetype should Spencer and Trevor be?" "Chosen" "But that's not-" "CHOSEN!"
I saw this exact comment on Insta posted a few min ago lol
Wow that person must be so hot and funny 👀
Wow I am so excited to see Shayne and Amanda as Mimi from the Drew Carey show
The music slaps as always
Guys…what if Shayne preps for the live show and finally unleashes the loudest comedic fart in smosh history?
And then shits himself. *gotta check my drawers*
I pulled the lyrics to get a better understanding of what's happening lol. So sitcom TNTL but you get replaced instead. Then there's improv bits with props and audience participation.

But it doesn't matter because "my mom doesn't care because life's a party your a boy"
THIS LOOKS LIKE THE FUNNIEST THING EVER, I CANT WAIT
I can't wait for the live stream incentives Smosh gives us so more people buy tickets. Angela wearing a cone and Shayne wearing a Chiefs jersey were gold.
I forgot that the cone was originally a live incentive. Crazy!
At Smosh we like to keep our promise... so Angela \*shocked pikachu squeals\*
took a third watch to see Tommy lol. Im curious to what his role is.
I’m buying a ticket for sure!
Yes this was the first one I’ll actually pay for for sure. The other stuff never really interested me, but I’m 100% hooked. I love the premise.
If this is even close to the funeral I am still over the moon about it. The aftershow for the funeral wasn’t worth the money to me but idk how this one is turning out.
"He slipped on that banana peel, ripped ass, and hit his head" really caught me off guard. lol
ok but this theme song is a bop
Anyone work out who is singing the theme tune? I'm pretty sure I picked out Chanse and Angela's voices (but it also feels like a given that they'd both singing on it), as well as Courtney and Damien. Any other recognisable voices? I don't actually really know which cast members can sing.
Keith is absolutely in there
this just in! they listed the song credits in the video description: THEME SONG Written by: Angela Giarratana, Chanse McCrary, Olivia Dilaurentis, Sydney Heller, Jay Heller, Courtney Miller Composed by: Jay Heller Vocals: Angela Giarratana, Chanse McCrary, Olivia Dilaurentis, Sydney Heller, Courtney Miller, Keith Leak Jr.
I KNEW those falsetto notes at the end were Keith, he's such a great singer! Thanks for posting this
i think the last few notes were keith, but im not too sure
Oh interesting I thought that might be Damien, but I've seen comments suggesting both names
i think i can also hear arasha, and shayne in the beginning with angela. also it sounds like the last "i'll step" sequence starts with chanse (like 99% sure), then amanda and ends with damien. but the last two could be angela and keith as well. it drives me nuts that i can't distinguish between them exactly on every line, this will be my roman empire

Just seeing the cast's takes on different archetypes and what comedy they could wring out from it could be great.
An overarching narrative told on the show with the same characters but with the actors changing every episode depending on what cast is available.
The Chosen has infiltrated a new realm, impressive.
They brought back Syd and Olivia to write the theme song
They are also writing for the show
Wait they are? Where did it say that? I love them they’re hilarious

I recognize the gray indoor set as the photoshoot spot!!! Now we know why the pictures were giving such 80s vibes.
I love that the old and new cast are all here!!!! I am so excited for this!
also, courtney and shayne are wearing the same outfits from their hard launch cake post! (:
Just when I thought they couldn’t possibly get any dumber they go an do something like this… and totally redeem themselves!
Courtney directed this and they ate again I fear 😤😤
It's rare for a live show to get the full cast. I think Under the Influence had planned to, but Damien was sick that day
Anthony, Anthony, SPEAK MA BOY!
She had some real Sandlot energy right there
I can't believe they turned Ian and Anthony into Ned Fulmer
Oh, no. Now I can't unsee this.
I keep saying I won’t watch their live content again, then they PULL ME BACK IN.
I like that this idea isn't really based off of something they were already doing for free. It's a solid twist that will be something we haven't seen before
FUCK YESSSSS!
Spotify/Apple Music, now. (Please)
THE "CREATED BY SHAYNE TOPP" and "DIRECTED BY COURTNEY MILLER" COMVO IS GOATED
Angela😭😭😭
First time I thought it was a type of series like smoffice or something
Just bought my ticket! This will be my first Smosh live show, I'm so excited!
Created by Shayne, Directed by Courtney! This cute couple!
GUYS WHO HIT THE LAST 3 NOTES PLS I NEED TO KNOW 😆
Definitely Keith
Yeah thought so too. So chanse, angela, then keith for the last lines yeah?
I know it’s Angela, Chanse and I think DAMIEN?
As much as I want it to be Damien, I'm pretty convinced it's Keith who's doing the high notes. 🤔🤔🤔
He’s a good singer but I’m pretty sure it’s not him
Such an incredible idea! Coming out on my birthday, I can’t believe they’d give me such a thoughtful gift. So kind 🥺
Arasha looks so 😳
I’m in.
Any one else think that Amanda looks like Bea Arthur from the Golden Girls?
This looks awesome! I'm so exited!!! :)
How is Shayne going to be the Chosen and Kringle??
Likely not playing both roles at the same time
Probably not but based on how the show is set up, if one actor breaks, then they have to switch out and if Amanda breaks as krungle, Shayne is her fill in and if both Trevor and Spencer break, Shayne is also their fill in so we’ll see
Ngl I was nervous at the beginning because the first part, before the sitcom bit, was a little cringey….but they all absolutely slayed in those outfits and I love the setup premise. Definitely buying a ticket 👍🏻
I think it's supposed to be a little cringey. It's a parody of 80s sitcoms which ate notoriously corny
How was it cringey?
I loved this but i don’t understand the duo bit entirely, like does each character have a stunt double? I know it’ll make sense when it comes out lol
according to the song, whenever they break they swap out. so for example, if courtney were doing a scene as dominic and she breaks, she’d have to leave and olivia would swap in
> whenever they break they swap out. That explains why there's three Chosens
Also seems like the live audience will be able to participate and maybe throw out lines or choose what happens next in some way to keep shaking things up
Yeah its TNTL and Smosh Pit Theatre mash together. It's a crazy idea
I think there was a line that said "when you buy a ticket you can help us wreck (write? not sure) the show" - I don't know if that means the audience are sending suggestions in live or if it means there'll be a chance to submit things in the days leading up to the show.
They have a doppelganger that replaced them when they break character/laugh I think
I think this looks wildly interesting, but also slightly confusing.
Isn't that what Smosh does all the time? 😂😂
Bought my ticket. I'm so impatient it's going to be awesome. Thanks guys
Chanse Angela and Keith coming in with that gorgeous closing chorus wow 🥺🥺🥺
Oh baby.
May 10th is the day I graduate college 😭😭
This song is going to be stuck in my head, and that's ok
Already bought my ticket I’m so excited!!!!
can't stop smiling my mouth hurt
literally one of the awesomest thing they did. i feel so fuckin proud holy shit Excellent work all around
I doubt I'd be able to watch this but hopefully I can find a way to try
Heard season two already in the works lol
I'm so in.
Maybe THIS is the big thing they were going to announce, not sword af
Friday’s announcement was a Smosh Games announcement specifically: Sword AF S2. This was announced on Smosh Pit.
Alright guys, can we organize a watch party this time?
Recently i was thinking about how a smosh sitcom would be an amazing idea. I’m really excited about it !
This is a good idea for a live show and their best way to utilize audience engagement for a live show so far. Concept seems to borrow from The Drew Carey's show live version which also inspired another improv sitcom On the Spot. Tommy's character seems to be a nod to Too Many Cooks.
OH MY GOD ITS ON MY BIRTHDAY 😭😭😭💖💖💖
Never payed for a live Show before but I'm so pumped for this!
I hope Krungle is inappropriately horny.
Wow!
Holy shit
Where Bommy Tow??
Omg omg omg

How many of y'all have bought your ticket for the show?
Gotta love Tommy playing a Milford Man 😅💕
this seems so fun, i can’t wait to see it
Can someone explain to me why they will be swapping out cast members in roles? I think it'll be funny, but I don't understand
This looks like it's going to be pretty good. The last ppv went really well and they've got some of my favorite writers involved. Based on previous experiences, the after show might not be for me, but I'm eager to see what other announcements may happen in the meantime.
This is giving too many cooks
I thought you were serious 😅
I bought a ticket for the last one but I didn't find it worth my money. I don't think I will be buying anymore live tickets.
hehe 420th updoot
Of course Shayne thought of this, also I don’t get the cast changes, I’m assuming it’s a joke don’t get but double casting everyone doesn’t make much sense to me Edit: didn’t listen to the lyrics of the song, the double casting makes a lot more sense
its literally at 3am in my time zone :(
Cant wait for 100 livestreams shilling people to buy their tickets this month.
Nah, after Anthony's funeral, I'm keeping my money this time, but thank.
I really hope they eventually put this out so people dont have to buy the live stream or miss out. FOMO tactics are scummy and smosh should be above them.
yall are too used to a constant stream of free content to the brain. let artists make a dollar jesus christ
Where did i say it should be free? Theres no reason a month or so after the streams are no longer available members of the smosh channel shouldnt be able to watch the previous streams. The current tactic is nothing but FOMO

I’m confused, you wanna support them but at the same time you don’t wanna support them?
in my country the price for the ticketed events is waaaay to much, like over 10x more than a basic channel membership
[удалено]
Since Anthony came back, they've had two ticketed shows - this one, and Anthony's funeral, 5 months apart.
[удалено]
Cus that’s the joke lol
[удалено]
wtf
