The 20th Anniversary Smoscars

Sign in to edit

"The 20th Anniversary Smoscars" is a special episode of the Smosh series Bit City[1]. It was released on YouTube on November 19, 2025, and featured the "Smoscars" (portmanteau of the Academy Awards' Oscars awards ceremony and Smosh), a virtual award ceremony and parody of the Oscars, in celebration of the brand's 20th anniversary.

Premiering at 4:00 P.M. Pacific Time (PT) that day, it ran for nearly two hours. During that time, peak viewership numbers reached over 41K concurrent users[2], with the video itself reaching 1M views only 3 days later[3].

The video featured various characters throughout Smosh history, as well as guest appearances from MacDoesIt (a frequent collaborator in Smosh videos) and former Smosh Family member Lasercorn. It also included a congratulatory message from Neal Mohan, the current CEO of YouTube.

Description[]

We’re celebrating 20 years of Smosh with The Smoscars!

Nominees and Winners[]

On September 29, 2025 the video featuring all the nominees for the awards was uploaded on the Smosh channel as a members-only video. The link was available to non-members for a short while via the video description, seemingly by accident, but was soon thereafter patched up. The voting for the most of the nominations was open for a week, until exactly 10:00 a.m. PT of October 6.[4]

Presented by: Olivia Sui and Keith Leak Jr.

  • Winner: “Bro why my grandpa just call me pissed as all hell because he learned what a furry was” (Noah to Keith)

If you go there you can make an account with them or online or whatever and then you put money in and purchase whatever stocks you’d like. I suggest the vanguard (same as s&p 500) because the goal is to have your money you don’t need right now (like for 10+ years) and make it into a much larger sum. A bank might be like 1% a year and the s&p will usually be like 8-15%” (Noah to Olivia)
