I think i know why Joe didn't tell the teens that he's part of barats and berata video> It’s cause of children never learn to say the first name of staff/teachers and parents, only learned last name. It's similar to my awkward situation as a young adult talking to kids about their parents in our martial art class cause we were all classmates together

Love that Joe neglects to mention that he used to work for Smosh during the defy days.

​@@DillonCameron, indeed. Barats and Bereta was formed by Luke Barats and Joseph Bereta...both of whom ended up spending some time on Smosh in behind-the-scenes roles. Joe followed several other former and current Smosh members by making the jump to React, too...we commonly see Trevor (who also works with GMM), Kimmy, Noah, and Keith, while Chanse and Sarah show up occasionally.

Joe looking at the camera when they didn't recognize him 😭🤣

Charlie the Unicorn might have been his first video, but Jason Steele's true genius work was Llamas with Hats. "Caaaaaaaaaaarllllll, that kills people!"

Those kids shocked/horrified by "lovely lady lumps" wouldn't have survived the 2000s. And how can you not like Charlie the Unicorn and Shoes?? Those two did not pass the vibe check, at all. Everyone else did.

"Billion at that time?" girl thought 2005 was like the 1900s

JOE! As soon as you put on the Barats and Bereta video I was looking to see if they'd recognize you, and then not only did they not even clue it at all, BUT YOU DIDN'T TELL THEM!? I WAS WAITING FOR THE REVEAL! Damn! Now this video doesn't get a thumbs up because my expectations are shattered. JOOOOEEEEE!

It’s crazy what just a few years different in age will do. I’m 19, born in 2005, and knew every single video. But I also had access to the family computer and was reading and speaking incredibly well at one to two years old. So I can remember playing games on the computer in 2007 or so! Pretty insane how fast time flies. I’d do anything to be little again and live in this more simplified internet world.
