"Sparky Goes to a Club"


Owen Wilson appears as a character in the storybook Sparky Goes to a Club: A story by Anthony Padilla & Ian Hecox. In the story, Sparky and Tyrone encounter trouble when the bouncer notices that Sparky's fake ID does not resemble him and refuses him entry into Da Club. Tyrone comes up with the idea to impersonate a celebrity, as celebrities always "get into da clubs", and points out Owen Wilson (voiced by Ian) in the line to enter. Sparky has an idea and approaches the actor, who shyly asks Sparky if he wants an autograph. Sparky pulls out a chainsaw as a nervous Wilson asks what he is doing. Sparky proceeds to behead the celebrity, leaving a bloody mess over both their bodies as the actor screams in pain. Sparky uses the decapitated actor's head to fool the bouncer into believing he is the actual Owen Wilson, granting him entry.

"Smosh Snatchers"
After getting facial reconstruction surgery by Dr. Klein to closely resemble Ian and Anthony from Smosh in an attempt to quickly get rich, the Smosh Snatcher that was supposed to turn into Ian instead turned into Owen Wilson, much to her frustration. After getting a second surgery from the same doctor to fix the blunder, she promises to never return to that particular doctor.

"FAILED AUDITIONS for SMOSH: THE MOVIE"
While auditioning for Smosh: The Movie, Owen Wilson (played by Courtney Miller) repeats "Wow!" in a nasally clogged voice while performing several muffed dance motions. At the end of his audition, he states to the audition director, who noted that Wilson was not even talking during his audition, that he thinks that it went well.

"TOO MANY OWEN WILSONS! (Squad Vlogs)"


In this bizarre episode of Squad Vlogs, Ian, Courtney, Shayne, Keith, Olivia, and Noah don identical blond wigs and imitate Owen Wilson's voice while wandering around the Smosh office, all the while repeating the actor's trademark intonation of "Wow!". They start in one room, playing with a baby doll and a spring, then head into a small computer room, where they terrorize several of their coworkers, including Damien and Boze. Moving to a larger room, they play around with several props, including a fake gun, a plastic knife, a coworker's purse, their 2006 award for "Best Comedy", and a few desks. Shayne and Noah briefly act in the Smosh Pit Weekly studio before rejoining the others in worshipping water dripping from the ceiling.

Soon after, the group crams into an elevator and walk outside the front door, spilling out on the sidewalk and gawking at the sunlight. They proceed to walk around the city of Los Angeles, still carrying the baby doll with them, making "Wow!" notes of a bus, a statue, a catcaller, and the menu of a restaurant they briefly enter. They return to the Smosh office, where they debate about signing in and head to the kitchen area, where they mess around with a paper cup, two bananas, a towel, and a can of Dr. Pepper. Damien tries to teach Ian how to use a coffee machine while Shayne compliments a coworker for decorating her office. "Wow" is also written several times on a whiteboard.

Near the end of the video, all of the Owen Wilsons are in a single room when someone calls out "Owen", catching the attention of everyone as they all move outside to see who called their name. Before the outro, a brief clip from Marley & Me is played, featuring the real Owen Wilson saying "Wow".
