If Cartoons Were Real is a Smosh video uploaded on July 30, 2010 and is the third installment in the If...Were Real series. Various cartoons and comics are put into real-life situations, often with humorous results.
Plot
Introduction
Ian and Anthony are watching SpongeBob SquarePants. Patrick asks SpongeBob if he wants another Krabby Patty, and SpongeBob replies, "Sure, Patrick!" and does his infamous laugh. Ian complains that no one would like a burger that's been underwater, because then it'd be "all soggy and disgusting." Anthony tells Ian to imagine how cartoons would suck if they were actually realistic.
Cartoons Spoofed
Pokemon
Ash (Ian) asks Brock (Anthony) if he wants to see a "cute rat little animal" he caught this morning. However, when the Ash opens the ball, all they see is a crushed and bloodied Pikachu. Both scream in horror.
Peanuts
A teacher (KassemG) is talking to some kids (Anthony, Ian and Ryan Higa), but sounds like the teacher from the Peanuts cartoon. However, after the kids stare in confusion, the teacher speaks normally and reveals he is just joking, saying that "those aren't even real words."
Captain Planet and the Planeteers
Captain Planet (Anthony) asks some kids if they want to save the planet. Ian remembers Captain Planet from somewhere, and a flashback begins. Captain Planet walks in with a bag of wine coolers and candy while a woman says "I'm in the back. C'mon in." Ian walks in wearing a suit (and acting like Chris Hansen) and asks Captain Planet to take a seat. Planet flees in terror.
South Park
Stan Marsh (Ian) profusely apologizes to his mom while being forced to lick a bar of soap for cursing.
The Simpsons
Homer (Ian) tells Bart (Anthony) to take out the trash. Bart replies, "eat my shorts." Homer strangles Bart. Afterwards, a neswpaper shows that Homer is in jail for twenty years due to child abuse.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
April is being attacked by the evil Shredder (a paper shredder), and asks Raphael to help. Raphael (as a regular turtle) is sitting nearby, nibbling on a slice of pepperoni pizza, and lets out a weak chirp.
Dragon Ball Z
Ian attempts a Kamehameha, but fails. Anthony asks him how many times he has tried it and Ian sadly replies, "over nine thousand."
Invader Zim
"We don't know anything about Invader Zim. So here's a waffle." A waffle is shown, and GIR appears on the waffle.
He-Man
He-Man (Anthony) exclaims, "By the power of Grayskull, I am He-Man!" A guy walks by and tells him "Gay bar's that way."
Inspector Gadget
A robber (Anthony) tries to rob Inspector Gadget (Ian), but Gadget tries to stop him by spraying him with a web shooter, saying "go go gadget web shooter." The robber then shoots Inspector Gadget, saying "go go gadget gun."
Deleted Scenes
Scooby Doo!
The gang is walking in a hallway trying to find a person called "The Jigsaw Killer." Shaggy descibes the things he has done to two people such as making a man cut off one of his own limbs with a saw and disemboweling his friend with a meat cleaver. Everyone except Shaggy, slightly disgusted, look at each other. Velma suggests they all get ice cream and both Fred and Daphne agree.
Doug
Doug (lan) is on the phone and asks Skeeter "what he thinks." Then Skeeter (Anthony) appears. Doug screams: "WHY THE F**K ARE YOU BLUE?!"
Ending
Ian decides to grill burgers, saying "burger" with a really bad Australian accent, which Ian claims is a "Steve Irwin accent." Ian is shown outside, with his burger, smelling it. However, he trips on Shredder and drops the burger in a bucket of water. Ian remembers what he said earlier and picks up the soggy burger out of the water. He takes a bite, and exclaims, "THIS IS AMAZING!"
