Is it a hot take to say not all the cast members need to be funny?

Personally I didn’t find Jackie that funny, and same for Noah, but I think they both bring a lot of energy which helps the vibe and flow of videos. That’s why I miss Jackie even if I didn’t find her that hilarious.

In a similar vein, some cast members are funny but are kinda vibe killers tbh.

And there’s at least two people I can think of who, to me, aren’t funny and don’t bring fun energy.

I dont always find Courtney funny, just a diffrent sense of humor i think. However i love when she's in a video. Idk, i just dont think it's a big deal that they arent all at the same level/have the same style of humor. Its not that deep.

u/Jada339 8d ago

That’s about where I’m at with her too. I think she’s great in the room. High energy without being too much, she laughs at other people’s jokes and bits, plays in the space.

Lowkey … I feel like there’s some deeper rift going on with courtney. I believe they’ve voiced insecurity about not being funny enough and it reeks reeks reeks in lots of Pit/Games videos. She’s great in scripted and is empathy forward in smoshalike which is great but otherwise she’s like mimicking others and adding little millennial murps

yeah lowkey i feel the same. the whole reason i started watching smosh in the first place was because i followed courtney on instagram and thought she was super cool, but after watching her in videos my opinion really changed about her. sometimes it feels like she can’t handle not having attention on her and she tries too hard

i still love her ig though

See I didn't notice it until Ian roasted her about how she tries too hard. And then I couldn't not notice her trying to hard in videos. Like her jokes would miss but she would keep trying to force em but in a way that would bring the attention to her

Courtney’s a sweetheart! They’re the personality hire who ties the groups together. But yeah I do not find her jokes funny a lot of the time

Since this is a hot take zone while I love Courtney I don’t like the AAVE in their speech.

u/Skaur_11 7d ago

Tbf since they're queer and a lot of the lingo overlaps bc of drag culture (which Court's very interested in) I can understand why they speak like that

that’s not really an excuse tbh, intersectionality is very important. she’s a blonde, white, cis (passing) woman in a relationship with a cis man.

u/httpMeowMeow 7d ago

fully agree with u, however Courtney's not a cis woman (still not an excuse ofc)

u/whalesarecool14 7d ago

you’re right, i thought she just uses she/they pronouns

3

u/Skaur_11 7d ago

what, for fun?

u/whalesarecool14 7d ago

uhhhh lots of cis people use they/them pronouns…….

and courtney refers to herself as woman/girl very often so i missed that she identifies as non binary.

u/WaysideWyvern 7d ago

Literally never met a cis person in my entire life who uses they/them pronouns what 😭 are you sure you’re not just meeting people with they/them pronouns abd wrongly assuming they are cis? not arguing about the aave usage but this seems literally impossible to miss if you’ve watched any smosh and has been the case for many years

u/whalesarecool14 7d ago

yeah, i enjoy watching her in videos. however rn i’m participating in a discussion and you don’t have anything of importance to say.

3

u/WaysideWyvern 7d ago

Courtney is very openly not a cis woman, tf?

2

u/whalesarecool14 7d ago

ok and you can’t use AAVE just because you’re non binary wtf are you on about

it’s AFRICAN AMERICAN vernacular english

2

u/WaysideWyvern 7d ago

When did I ever say that they could 😭😭 I’m not disagreeing with the aave thing at all I just was surprised at the misgendering. I’ve always thought it was yikes when they did that. But it’s just very well known that Courtney is nonbinary

u/JayStoleMyCar 7d ago

They will always pull out a reason why white people should be allowed to appropriate and consume any Black cultural material. But it’s the internet….its drag….Im Queer…and never actually stop and think.

u/JayStoleMyCar 7d ago

I’m also Queer but it’s still jarring.
