THE NEW SLENDERMAN

"THE NEW SLENDERMAN" is a Smosh video, as well as the 2014 Halloween episode.

Synopsis
Ian and Anthony, looking at what the viewer assumes are baby pictures on their iPad, see Ian dressed as a baby for Halloween. Anthony adds that it was Ian's "worst costume ever". Ian objects, saying he put a lot of thought into the costume, and that it's still better than Anthony's Sailor Moon outfit. (Showing Anthony wearing a Sailor Cap and a photo of the moon on his shirt) Anthony says that Ian's jealous of his costume, until Ian realizes Slenderman is hiding in the corner of Anthony's photo. Ian swipes to another photo, showing Slenderman inside the house at a party. Anthony then swipes to see Slenderman in the rest of their photos as well. Anthony then suspects that Slenderman is following him around and photobombing him. Ian takes a photo of Anthony, only to see Slenderman behind him in the photo. Anthony turns around, not seeing Slenderman. Worried about what they're going to do, Ian suggests Anthony stops taking photos of himself. Anthony says it's impossible, asking Ian how he's going to brag about how awesome his life is (while he's only actually just standing there eating a cracker). Ian tries to explain how people are drawn to technology as opposed to actual reality, but Anthony brags to Ian about "how awesome he looks in the photo", while adding the hashtag "#MurderingTheseCrackers". Ian and Anthony then briefly discuss what he means by that hashtag, until Ian suggests they try to catch Slenderman. Anthony says there's one way they can do that, Ian asks if it's to stop standing on broken glass (as the camera pans down to Anthony standing on broken glass with his feet all bloody). Anthony agrees to that, but also has another idea.

On the couch, Ian is painting a fake dummy to look like Anthony, and says it looks "as accurate as f**k". Anthony then walks in, dressed as Ian. Ian questions Anthony about it, saying that Slenderman will get confused if he sees two Anthonys, but now with Anthony dressed as Ian, makes two of the latter.

In order to prevent two Ians, the actual Ian dresses up as a tree. After doing this, Ian and Anthony argue over who dresses as who/what, until Ian gets frustrated and decides to get it over with. Ian sets up the Anthony dummy in a position as if it is going to take a selfie. Right on time, Slenderman runs in from the hallway and attempts to photobomb the Anthony Dummy (as if it were the real Anthony). Ian successfully catches Slenderman, until "Slenderman" admits that he's "Skinnyman" and Slenderman is his big brother. Anthony and Ian look at Skinnyman, saying that him and Slenderman look exactly the same. Skinnyman denies this, calling the guys (especially Anthony) racist. Skinnyman starts to explain that his brother retired because he became "just too popular", until Anthony interrupts that the Slenderman fad died off in 2012. Skinnyman is shocked by this, then takes out his phone and tweets "#MurderingTheseCrackers". Skinnyman begins to approach Ian and Anthony as Anthony tweets "#CrackersGettingMurdered". Ian compliments Anthony using the hashtag correctly, before they are both murdered by Skinnyman and Slenderman appears as the video ends.

Trivia

 * Judging by its theme, this video was made to coincide with Halloween.
 * The party photos with Slenderman involve Anthony and a Smosh Extra "partying hard", involving the extra wearing a thong, Anthony sleeping with Slenderman, and so on.
 * It's the third time that Anthony has Ian's bowl haircut, the first has been in "MY NEW EMO HAIR!" and the second time was in "I Have Kirby Powers!". Although it's the first time that he uses Ian's hair for disguise instead of actually having it on him. Also it's the first time that Anthony disguises himself as Ian.
 * Even Anthony saying that Slenderman has fad died off in 2012, he's still being pretty popular around the internet, especially on YouTube.
 * It would actually be too obvious noticing that Ian disguising himself as a tree in the middle of the room would be very unrealistic, that was probably a joke, and also shows how stupid Skinnyman is.
 * Anthony telling Ian that he can't stop taking photos of himself is a reference to the "Addicted to Selfies" video.
