GUYS' GUIDE TO HUGGING GUYS is a Smosh video released on April 6, 2012. It is also the first episode of the Guy's Guide To... miniseries.

Description
This guide will help any guy who's ever had an awkward instance of hugging another guy.

Cast

 * Ian Hecox as Pat Naylor, Fabian, and himself
 * Anthony Padilla as himself and Manspider
 * Brian Rife as Barry
 * Unknown as John
 * Big Spence as T-Bone

Introduction
Anthony is walking two friends, John and Barry, to his door as they leave. Anthony says goodbye to John and gives him a friendly hug and tells Barry it was great to meet him. At this point, Barry's motions confuse Anthony, who starts to internally panic as he cannot determine if Barry is going for a handshake or a hug. As he has only recently met Barry, Anthony feels it inappropriate to hug him and decides to give Barry a handshake, but switches at the last second when he realizes Barry is going for a hug. However, Anthony's hesitation leads him to accidentally punch Barry in the gut, causing Barry to crouch in pain and Anthony to apologize and run off, wailing.

At this point, the screen freezes as Pat Naylor enters onscreen, asking viewers if such a situation has ever happened to them. Pat explains that he is here to help.

The Guide to Hugging
In a hugging dojo, hugging sensei Pat Naylor introduces himself and explains what he has solutions for:

As Pat explains, the first thing to keep in mind is to only hug other men one is close friends with. Three clues indicating such a relationship include:
 * If you've fought over the last potato chip: Ian and Anthony offer each other the last potato chip on a plate. Anthony suggests they split it and takes out a wrist-mounted laser to saw the chip in half.
 * If you've accidentally worn the same shirt: Ian and Anthony bump into each other outside and notice that they are both wearing the same Minions-themed T-shirt, much to their mutual amazement and amusement.
 * If you've mistakenly seen his penis: Ian steps out of the bathroom after a shower, draped in a towel with his (censored) junk exposed. Anthony walks into the hall and sees Ian's penis, causing the former to scream in horror.
 * ...Twice: Ian proudly proves to an uncomfortable Anthony that he can do "the helicopter" as he gyrates his pelvis in such a way so as to make his penis whirl around in circles.

Pat continues his lesson, reminding viewers of another thing to remember:

Pat continues, warning viewers about hand movements while hugging:
 * When one pats a friend's back during a hug, they are essentially saying "You're a good friend, but don't get the wrong idea, Slim!", as demonstrated by a pleasant hug between Anthony and Barry.
 * When one holds their hands solidly during a hug, they are essentially saying "You're a really good friend, and I know we aren't attracted to each other at all.", as demonstrated by a pleasant, solid hug between Anthony and Barry.
 * When one grasps onto a friend's flesh during a hug, they are essentially saying "F*** ME! F*** ME RIGHT HERE! RIGHT NOW!", which most straight friends will not exactly appreciate, as demonstrated by a visibly horny Anthony and Barry, who is crying for his mother.
 * In fact, some gay friends will not enjoy this type of hug either, as demonstrated by Anthony and a disgusted Fabian, who pushes himself out of Anthony's grasp and tells him to "keep dreaming, bitch!".

Hugs to Never Do
Now that viewers know what to do and what not to do while hugging male friends, Pat lists a few types of hugs that he considers to be a bad idea:
 * The Side Hug: This is demonstrated by Anthony, who wraps his arms around Ian's entire torso.
 * The Gap Hug: This is demonstrated by Anthony, who hugs Ian by the stomach from roughly a foot away. An asterisk mentions that this type of hug is only acceptable if the hugger has a boner.
 * The Spider-Man Hug: Anthony hangs upside down in a Spider-Man costume and excitedly hugs an upright Ian.
 * The Manspider Hug: Manspider appears from around a corner and chases a terrified Ian.
 * The Leg Hug: Anthony has wrapped his entire body around Ian's right leg, making it difficult for him to walk.
 * The Butt Hug: Ian is crouched over and looking at something when Anthony jumps behind him, slamming his outstretched buttocks into Ian's, causing the latter to lose balance.

As a final demonstration, Pat is going to demonstrate the "Naked Hug". He has two assistants remove his robe to reveal his nude body and goes over to hug Anthony. As he makes contact, Anthony notices Pat's nude body and screams "Molester!". As sirens sound, Pat lets go and runs away.

Conclusion
Pat, now in jail, says goodbye to viewers and tells them to tune in next time for "Guys' Guide to Spooning Guys". As Pat waves goodbye, his cellmate T-Bone (who is embracing while the two lay in bed) tells him to shut up. A submissive Pat complies, calling him "Big Baddy" while T-Bone smiles.

Deleted Scenes

 * Anthony tells Barry it was nice to meet him, but Barry corrects him as his real name is "Harry". Anthony initially thinks something is hairy, and the awkwardness continues as he cannot determine if Barry/Harry wants to go for a handshake or a hug.
 * As Pat explains, if a girl does not wish to hug you, it could indicate one of three things: you are a creep, you smell bad, or she is simply a "f***ing b***h!".

Trivia

 * Pat Naylor's fate in jail video is similar to that of George Zazz in TEENS IN THE WILD!.
 * Coincidentally, both George and Pat are both played by Ian.
 * At random points in the hugging dojo class, you can see two fitness balls and a punching bag pushed together, most likely to resemble a penis.
 * Also, there were kids punching soft blocks and hugging the people holding the boards.
 * Anthony shouts "MOLESTER!" at the end. It was previously used in WTF! I'm Old! and HOW TO HIDE A B0NER IN PUBLIC!
 * Big Spence, who played T-Bone, is the same actor in HOW TO COVER UP A MURDER, who was the "Black Guy" killed by Raptors in Jurassic Park: The Lost World.
