In 2016 so much has changed, but there are also some lessons, we just haven't learned.
Reception
Many comments criticized Smosh for using the thumbnail solely for clickbait in an attempt to gain more views as it led a lot into thinking Anthony would be present in the video.
The video also garnered many comments on Smosh being worse without Anthony's presence, due to the thumbnail of 2016 representing Ian and Anthony and 2017 representing only Ian due to Anthony leaving Smosh half a year prior.
Trivia
- This is the first Smosh main channel video to feature Anthony since What's going on with Smosh? (a picture of him and Ian in the background while Ian is talking).
- This is the first Smosh main channel video to mention or have Anthony in the thumbnail since CELEBRITIES ARE INSANE (Music Video).
- This is Smosh's third Year Vs Year video to have 2017 as one of the years being portrayed.
- The 2016 version of YouTube during the 2016 and 2017 YouTube comparison in this video featured YouTube's old logo, which departed four months before the release of this video.
- This is one of the few Smosh videos where no cursing takes place.
