Olivia Sui

"She's a badass. Put that on her wiki page: she's a badass."

- Mari, about Olivia

Olivia Mu Sui (穗亩, pronounced 'Sway'; born August 14, 1993 ) is a Chinese-American actress and regular Smosh cast member. She was officially added to the Smosh cast in March of 2015. While also consistently acting on Smosh Main Channel, she has also written and co-written many sketches over the years, including "BREAKING NEWS: BRAD IS MISSING" and "HOW TO NOT PISS OFF ASIAN PEOPLE" She is part of the Smosh Squad and was a co-host of Smosh's Seriously Super Stupid Sleepover with Courtney Miller until the series was cancelled. Before joining Smosh, she appeared in episodes of multiple TV series including Weeds, Warzone and CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. Throughout her Smosh career, she's been cast in outside projects including Scream Queens, Yappie, Foundher, and many other in Post-Production.

On July 28, 2017, it was announced in What's going on with Smosh?! that Courtney and Olivia would again be hosting a series together, this time called Whoa! Nature Show. The show premiered on August 16, 2017, but was shelved after only a few episodes. They've since discussed why they couldn't continue such shows on the SmoshCast.

As of March 12, 2020, Olivia has a self-run podcast called Fish Cheeks, where she brings on various guests- primarily PoC- to discuss many different important topics.

Their first real bonding experience came when she was thirteen, when he spent an afternoon teaching her to ride a bike for her role in CSI: Crime Scene Investigation.

 * On May 3, 2018, it was revealed on Instagram that she is now dating Sam Lerner, an actor who works with Shayne on The Goldbergs. In the 2018 video OUR FIRST IMPRESSIONS OF EACH OTHER, Shayne confirmed that he not only set Sam and Olivia up, but had deliberately stopped them from meeting one another while they were both in other relationships, as he was convinced they were too well-matched to ever just be friends.

Personality

 * Olivia has been consistently designated the "weirdest member of Smosh". (Reference Needed)
 * She once addressed Youtube comments that asked if she was high whenever shooting The Show w/ No Name!, assuring everyone that she was not taking anything and that she was legitimately being herself.
 * Olivia is also somewhat the "baby" of the group, despite not being the youngest; the rest of the Smosh Family are very protective of her and occasionally give her special treatment above other members.
 * For example, in the Face Your Fears episode "Olivia Faces Her Fear of Butterflies", she received significantly nicer and more sympathetic treatment when she was facing her fear of butterflies than Shayne did when he was forced to face his fear of dolls.

 * Olivia is also very scared of bugs, especially ones that fly, as shown in NOAH'S TOP 5 WORST FOODS EVER when she and the rest of the Smosh Squad had to eat a bug.
 * In particular, Olivia is known to have an intense fear of butterflies.

Towards the end of that video, however, she began feeling more comfortable around them.(Reference Needed)


 * It has been mentioned several times in videos and even in a Smosh Cast that she a huge germophobe.

Smosh

 * During her first year as a Smosh cast member (as well as intermittently later on), Olivia was frequently confused with Mari Takahashi.
 * Though some fans often mixed up the two, Olivia is actually Chinese-American and Mari is Japanese-American. Mari also has a darker skin tone than Olivia.
 * Most of the Smosh Family have made jokes about the confusion between Mari and Olivia at some point in time, though many have also said that they actually can't tell why some viewers think they look alike.
 * Poking fun at this, Olivia and Mari co-hosted an episode of Gametime with Smosh Games, in which they play Slender: The Arrival. They also brought up the comparison in "HOW TO NOT PISS OFF ASIAN PEOPLE", a video they worked on together, and during a Q-and-A video filmed for Olivia's channel in 2019.
 * Olivia has a reputation of being the best at card games out of the Smosh cast. This should, however, be taken with a grain of salt for the following reasons:
 * In the Game Bang episode "SMOSH AGAINST HUMANITY", Joven and Olivia both ended the game with four cards above all else. Despite this, Sohinki refused to acknowledge that Joven "tied for first," implying by that logic that Olivia did not receive first either.
 * In the Seriously Super Stupid Sleepover episode "BUCKET OF DOOM W/ THE SMOSH SQUAD," most ties were settled by Sunny Peabody weighing in a final decision. For the final round, however, the Squad gave Olivia the point she needed to win the game, despite her and Noah tying in the final round with two votes each.
 * Olivia is the only competitor in Smosh Seasonal Games to have received the award for MVP twice.
 * Her second time winning the award (during Smosh Summer Games: Camp) was controversial amongst Smosh viewers, many of whom believed that there were others who had deserved it more than her.
 * By default, Olivia is also the only player to have been awarded MVP twice in a row.
 * In Smosh Summer Games: We Blew It!, the four female Smosh members each modified their team shirts to match their individual styles. Olivia tied her shirt in a knot in front, effectively shortening it.
 * During the interim between the shutdown of Defy Media and the acquisition of Smosh by Mythical Entertainment, Olivia was revealed to be shooting a movie.
 * In TRY NOT TO LAUGH CHALLENGE - BACK TO SCHOOL SPECIAL, she (supposedly) flashed Keith.
 * In later Smosh videos, Olivia began frequently wearing a purple and pink tracksuit, which Damien referred to as her "Smosh Pit outfit" in Eat it or Yeet It Episode 9.
