I love how both Smosh and Collegehumor have undergone this renaissance from very dated mid-00s comedy sketches to genuinely funny gameshow-format improv stuff like this
I Wasn't super into Arasha when she first started, but between this clip and her appearance on "let's do this!" where she revealed that she had been lying to the whole office for weeks just for a dozen donuts and basically had an "I'm quitting for a better hollywood career" party, she's cemented into the cast as an awesome member.
I swear people joking about her not appearing in many videos set her on a road for revenge. Like, Kimmy saying 'welcome to your first and last funeral' during her funeral triggered something in Arasha.
It seems to me like she just needed time to get comfortable. You can see her shine on her last few videos and then the let's do it stunt. I think she's starting to get comfortable and I'm excited for it.
God that woman is so fucking funny ❤ She's so committed to comedy that it's actually inspiring. I hope she goes far because it'd be a waste of talent if not
@@MMUTG3R It's about knowing your audience. Obviously Arasha knows Noah well enough that she knows he's totally ok with that kind of crass humor, Noah is unhinged.
@@thatonespoon_ I disagree. As a primarily visual species first and foremost, I think it is not only important but necessary to communicate comments on visual cues and identities we see in people especially striking or unique features. It helps us to stand out in a crowd and helps our caveman brains in recognizing the person again or people with similar features. Saying it out loud helps with the brain functioning similar to self talk. Saying it out loud is far more engaging than internally. It is why people are urged to look in a mirror and say their morning mantras or pray vocally rather than in their heads. So whether it may cause harm or not, it is an important aspect of our species. Either way I think it doesn't cause as much harm as it does usefulness. Ah. I'll give a current example: idk who this woman is, never seen her on Smosh before. However, I like her humor and I will readily recognize her again because I will remember this scene because my brain will correlate my comment to the memory of what she looked like and _then_ it will remember her comedy. Because we are visual FIRST.
@@ggmann13 your examples here have validity-- but notice how they're self-focused? self talk is important, saying things out loud can help us process, absolutely. that is NOT the same thing as making a vague comment about the physical appearance of someone on the internet. say your observation out loud to yourself if that's how your "caveman brain" works. comments--whether compliments or insults or something in between--about an aspect of someone's identity or appearance that they cannot change have a great potential for harm, ESPECIALLY in an anonymous commenter environment like this one. you do not know what a person's relationship is to the feature you're commenting on, you do not know if your comment will cause hurt or harm. as someone who has gotten a fair amount of "you're so skinny" comments, especially when I was struggling with mental health and not eating enough, I can attest to this. it is so easy to simply not make the comment. there's so much more to this topic, especially around the weight of cultural and historical comments on the bodies of women and people of color, but it is far too late where I am for me to launch into a full ted talk. I hope you think a bit more about this and reconsider posting comments focused on people's physical appearance in the future.
