I like how the editor writes “Sorry podcast listeners” as if they will hear it.

Ian was just as excited for Food Battle as he is for Chumbawamba, as their #1 fan of course.

Look at Ian’s face around 50:11, the way that smirk drops and the others are smiling, you can feel him mentally going back to that time and just wishing he could’ve changed that time when they lost their friendship, I never noticed how Ian’s smile is gone and he’s just concentrating Edit: even how Anthony’s smirk drops until he’s looked at then he starts chuckling, it’s so sweet to see Anthony and Ian looking back on how their friendship started to crack and then rebuild now

That moment when Anthony says “Oh you figured it out daddy.” To the the number one Chumbawumba fan sitting there was really funny😂

i love how the 3 of them are trying to find deep meaning behind everything while Ian is like it aint that deep bruh, i relate

Anthony looks so honest to god emotional rewatching the ending of the food battle 2016 it causes severe emotional damage

Food battles may have been absent for a few years, but Ian's love for chumbawamba will never go away

chumbawumba's biggest fan is back again , thank you Ian for supporting small and upcoming bands

Weirdly it's like Anthony and Chumbawumba's #1 watching their own teenage sons goofing off in videos. I can feel their sincere affection for their own past. Love it!

Petition to also have Ian and Anthony make eye contact.

18:23 Ian got the "Angela" treatment

Flashback with Smosh having guests is honestly a great shakeup to the formula sometimes.

The poetry of both Ian and Anthony dropping the donut, only to have them both land closer to each other. Sometimes letting go is what it takes to realize the bonds are there even when you don't tug and pull.

ian having that sound board is immaculate

Chumbawumba’s #1 fan has honestly created such good content with his friend Anthony 👏

Chanse saying that Courtney has pretty eyes was cute 🙊🥺 Nearly had me crying at the end, I’m so glad Ian and Anthony found their ways back to each other 🥰🥰

Their friendship is so beautiful, it got knocked down, and it got back up again. Clearly, Ian learned from the words of his favorite band Chumbawumba

49:02 is the funniest moment of this whole thing. Anthony just goes for the throat in the most hilarious way possible. I love that they're back to a level of friendship where they can make those jokes. It always warms my heart hearing Ian and Anthony laughing in the same way that they only do with each other. Also, nice to see the even though the joke knocked Ian over, he got back up again. I was worried that the joke would have kept him down.

5:20-5:26 I would just like to thank the editors for the hardest laugh I had all week 😂👌🏼

Ian went so far to fix his friendship with Anthony and get their channel back! It’s so inspirational that Ian gets knocked down, but he gets up again.

18:23 is such an amazing story in 4 panels if you just look at the facecams

Man the editors are crazy on this one. "I dare you to tongue punch my fart box." At 19:41

Anthony constantly mouthing all the lines just warms my heart

I so so often quote the "What do you think ink is made of? B E E F" and I'm so glad others are experiencing that joy

I'm surprised Ian had enough time off from running the Chumbawumba Army to film this one!

A round of applause for Ian for taking time out of his busy schedule listening to the new albums of Chumbawumba to participate on this

I love Chance's interest in Chumbawumba's #1 fan's history with this Smosh

I love Ian with the soundboard almost as much as he loves Chumbawamba

chance asking if ian was lonely during 2016 reminds me of everything i’d ask my newly divorced dad as a child

Another banger by Anthony, Chanse, Courtney, and Chumbawamba's #1 fan!

Ian gets knocked down, but he gets up again, you're never gonna keep him down.

Yo no fkn way is that the number one Chumbawumba fan? Thought he was a myth.

I like how their comments when watching 2016 is more about the interpersonal relationship issues Ian and Anthony were having at the time than the actual video
