Episodes
Hot Seat Challenge
Description
In the first newer Try Not To Laugh Challenge episode, the Smosh Squad confirmed that the game they were playing was actually called "Hot Seat". In this version, one player sits in the "hot seat" and fills their mouth with water; their objective is to keep it in their mouth for the full time limit of thirty seconds. The remaining players take it in turns to try and make the player in the hot seat laugh; they "win" if they make the player spit out (or swallow) the water within the time limit.
Squad Vlog Episodes
These videos aired as a part of either Squad Vlogs or Game Bang until November 1, 2018.
