Food Battle 2009 is a Smosh video released on July 17, 2009 and is the fourth installment in the famous Food Battle series.

Brief synopsis: For the fourth year in a row, Anthony and Ian compete against each other to prove which of their favorite foods is superior.

Anthony's Favorite Food: Burrito

Plot

Introduction

Ian sees Anthony playing drums on Rock Band and believes that he is a zombie. After Anthony puts him through lots of physical pain to prove he is not a zombie, such as throwing a drumstick to his eye, throwing him on a table, smashing a glass on his head, and running him over with a car, Ian gives in after Anthony prepares to cut off his head. Anthony says that he wants a rematch and that he has a new favorite food: a burrito. Ian accepts the challenge, and Food Battle 2009 begins.

Challenges

Toothbrush

Anthony chooses the toothbrush.

Anthony: Anthony tries to brush his teeth with his burrito, but his teeth end up in worse shape. Result: X

Ian: Ian cleans his teeth and gets his mouth covered in frosting. He says that his dentist is going to be so proud of him. Result: X

Shovel

Ian chooses this and says, "ya dig?". Annoyed by Ian's pun, Anthony warns Ian that he will punt Ian's ass to Bangkok if Ian says another pun. Ian laughs because Anthony said punt.

Ian: Ian's donut crumbles while he is digging. After getting his X he eats it. Result: X

Anthony: Anthony, wanting to dig a hole to China, successfully digs up a vase, and the merchant from Resident Evil 4 (played by Ian) buys it from him for $11. Result: ✓

Wig

Anthony chooses the wig. Ian asks if a wig is the one that is put on the head. Anthony sarcastically tells Ian that a wig is put on the butt and says that a wig obviously is put on the head. But Ian still thinks they're doing the butt wig, so Anthony corrects him one more time that a wig is put on the head.

Donut vs Burrito

Anthony: Anthony puts on his wig, and Corey Fruh mistakes him for his girlfriend, Sherry. He proposes to Anthony, who accepts. They get married and have children. When they get back, Anthony's wig falls off, and Corey is horrified to discover that he is a guy. As he runs off, Anthony begins to cry. Result: ✓

Ian: Ian puts his donut on his head, but Corey sees it and remarks that he didn't know that Ian was Jewish, mistaking the donut for a yamulke. After getting his X, Ian congratulates Corey for his marriage; Corey tells him to shut up and runs away, crying. Result: X

Video Game

Anthony chooses the video game, but Ian says that it's his turn to pick. So Ian picks a video game.

Ian: Ian inserts his donut to play Super Donut 64, only to get the blue screen of death as Ian screams in terror. Result: X

Anthony: Anthony inserts his burrito to play Donut Massacre 64. It doesn't load so he takes it out and blows on it, then loads it onto the console. It successfully loads, and Anthony begins playing. Result: ✓

Boomerang

When Anthony suggests this, Ian has drastically changed. Anthony asks what has happened to him, Ian suddenly returns to normal.

Ian: Ian throws his donut, and the merchant is seen holding the vase he bought from Anthony earlier while singing a Michael Jackson song. Ian's donut hits the vase, causing the merchant to drop it onto the ground, breaking it. Result: X

Anthony: Anthony throws his burrito, and it begins to fly back to him. However, it passes him, shouting 'See ya later, fa**ot!' It then gets shredded in a jet turbine while Anthony watches, confused. Result: ✓

Mind Control Device

Ian chooses the mind control device. Anthony tells Ian that he will mind control Ian's mom to "touch his prickly--" before Ian stops him. Anthony tells Ian that he is going to say prickly legs to which Ian says that it's fine. Ian suggests that they should mind control girls to make out with them to which Anthony happily agrees.

Anthony: Anthony tries to hypnotize a hot girl into kissing him, but she walks off in disgust, much to his disappointment. Result: X

Ian: Ian attempts to hypnotize the same girl to kiss him. It at first appears to work, but then she vomits on him, and he screams "What the fu-" before the rest of his lines are cut off as he receives his X. Result: X

Edible Food

When Anthony suggests this, Ian says Anthony's going to lose this challenge because burritos are made out of cement and Donald Trump's old skin. Anthony says he tasted both of those things and says they taste fine.

Ian: Ian carefully tries his donut, and surprisingly, it's edible! Result: ✓

Anthony: Anthony bites into his burrito, but then spits it out and begins retching. Result: X

Ending

Ian jumps out from hiding and reveals that he had put cyanide in Anthony's burrito. Anthony protests that it will kill him, but Ian still believes that he is a zombie. After telling Ian that he is not a zombie, Anthony dies.

The reporter runs up to Ian, but Anthony's husband appears and challenges Ian into a duel for killing his wife. Ian accepts the duel and points the middle finger to Anthony's husband. He pulls out a corn dog from Anthony's burrito and charges at Ian, but Ian kicks a door open. Anthony's husband can't stop running and enters the room which is revealed to be a viewing room for Susan Boyle sex tape. Anthony's husband screams in horror at what he is seeing while Ian feels disgusted as well and leaves. The reporter officially announces Ian as the winner and asks Ian what he wants to do now, and Ian replies that he wants to watch paint dry. The reporter joins him and continuously asks if the paint is dry. Eventually, Ian loses his temper, turns to the reporter and yells, "NO!".

After the ending, Barney tells the viewers to go to Smosh.com to watch the video bloopers and to buy the new shirt and Donut Massacre 64 poster, saying "If you don't go to Smosh.com right now, I'm gonna kill you in your sleep!"
