If It Were Real

If It Were Real is a Smosh series. From 2009-2017, it consisted of Ian and Anthony depicting how various forms of media (movies, video games, the internet, etc.) might look in real life.

Concept (2009-mid-2017)
The episode usually begins with Anthony and Ian either watching television, playing video games, or on the internet and Ian talks about how stupid it is. Anthony then says how stupid it would be if the subject were realistic. A collection of clips portraying popular examples of the subject ensues. At the end of the sketch, the guys agree the subject would be stupid if it were realistic. After that, Ian (and sometimes Anthony) experience(s) the exact same thing they were talking about at the beginning of the video and usually that thing is something bad.

Trivia

 * There is a reference to the skit in REJECTED VIDEOS! called If Religions Were Real, but was cut off due to the fact it would have been offensive.
 * In the Every Smosh Video Ever, If It Were Real was parodied by "If the Titanic Were Real".
