Food Battle 2008

'"Mmm, oh yeah, that's very good. That's very good whale carcass! SHUT UP!"

- Shut Up! Opening Food Battle 2008' is a Smosh video released on July 26, 2008 and is the 3rd installment in the Food Battle series. For the 3rd year in a row, Ian and Anthony compete against each other to prove which of their favorite foods is superior.

Anthony's Favorite Food: Churros

Introduction
Anthony is about to watch Toy Story and is teased by his father for believing that it's real. As he sits down on the couch, Ian appears saying that he and his pink frosted sprinkled donuts want a rematch. Anthony says that Ian won't stand a chance against his new favorite food, churros! Ian accepts the rematch, thus beginning Food Battle 2008.

Sunglasses
Anthony chooses sunglasses as the first challenge.

Ian: Ian is unable to see through the holes of his donuts and thus is unable to see the sun. He thinks the sun is pink and sprinkle-y and then calls it beautiful. Result: X

Anthony: Anthony looks directly at the sun, only to be blinded by the light as he screams in pain. Result: X

Delicious Smoothie
Anthony wears sunglasses due to being blinded by the sunlight. He picks a challenge but is unable to see due to being blind. Ian says that the challenge Anthony picked is a delicious smoothie. Anthony then tells Ian that he's going down, accidentally poking Ian's eye.

Anthony: Anthony puts three churros in a blender with some milk. After blending the churros, Anthony tries it and likes it. Result: ✓

Ian: Ian puts two donuts in the blender with milk. He adds mayonnaise to make it taste better. After blending the donuts, Ian tries it. At first, it appears that he likes it, but after getting his checkmark, he spits it out. Result: ✓

Ian's Mom
When Anthony suggests this, Ian tells him that "Your Mom jokes are banned in Food Battle 2008." Anthony points out that there is a picture of Ian's mom in the catalog. Anthony picks another challenge when Ian asks, "Can we just do something else?!"

Anti Theft Device
Anthony picks this when Ian declines doing the "Your Mom" challenge.

Anthony: Anthony places his churro on his car. A burglar appears and throws the churro away. He takes a 1099 free hours disc from Anthony's car and walks off as Anthony screams in horror. Result: X

Ian: Ian tapes his donut on his car. The burglar appears and tries to take it off, when a gunshot suddenly rings out and he falls dead. The camera pans to Ian holding a gun, but he hides it behind his back and declares that it worked, receiving his checkmark. Result: ✓

Pink-Frosted Sprinkled Donut
Ian picks a pink frosted sprinkled donut, saying that Anthony's churro can't be one. Anthony disagrees, saying that it can be one to which Ian says it can't because Anthony's churro isn't pink, isn't frosted, isn't sprinkle-y, and is definitely not pink. Anthony insists that he can still make his churro a pink frosted sprinkled donut to which Ian yells "F**k you" to Anthony.

Ian: Ian suddenly realizes his pink frosted sprinkled donut is already a pink frosted sprinkled donut. Result: ✓

Anthony: Anthony tells his churro that he will throw it in the air. And it better be a donut when it comes down or he will kill it. Anthony throws his churro in the air and it comes down as a pink frosted sprinkled donut. Result: ✓

Explosive
Anthony chooses an explosive, in which a hand from underneath the table picks it.

Ian: Ian says that he will kill his donut's family if it doesn't work. Ian activates his pink frosted sprinkled donut to explode. He tries to find a place to put it, but is stopped as he tries to put it near Anthony's car, Anthony's pet rock, and Benny Jean's pet flamingo. Eventually, he throws it behind him and braces for impact but it fails to detonate. After his X, Ian says that he will kill his donut's family. Result: X 

Anthony: Anthony lights his churro and waves it around. Ian warns him that it is about to explode. Anthony coughs from the smoke and the churro explodes, making Anthony lose his left arm. Although freaked out, he's happy it worked. Result: ✓

A weapon that can be thrown from 30 feet away to kill somebody
Ian chooses this challenge. Anthony says, "Wow, that sounds really killer." and chuckles which prompts Ian to punch Anthony's left shoulder where his left arm used to be. Anthony then says, "Ow! My nub!".

Ian: Ian sees a guy throw a banana peel onto the street. He calls him a littering douchebag and he throws his donut at the guy Street Fighter style while shouting "Hadouken!" but nothing happens. Result: X

Anthony: Anthony notices the guy pick up a VHS of Toy Story and say that he hates it. The guy throws it to the ground. This makes Anthony angry, and he runs over to throw his churro at the guy but slips on the guy's banana peel. The churro hits Anthony and kills him. Ian appears to be shocked at his death, but is then revealed to be shocked over leaving trash on the ground and picks up the banana peel. Result: None

Ending
The reporter runs up to Ian and informs him that he has won Food Battle 2008. Anthony, who is still alive, gets up and throws his churro at Ian, only to hit the reporter, causing him to die slowly, but manages to say his remaining lines. The reporter says that he thought Anthony was dead, but Ian says he is now. The scene cuts to Anthony's body, showing he really is dead now. The reporter asks Ian what he wants to do now. Ian says he is going to have a party, and the reporter asks if he can come. Ian says "Yeah," with the reporter saying "really?" Ian then shouts, "No!"
