Smosh is a video-creating duo that has established fame on YouTube; Anthony Padilla (born 16 September, 1987) and Ian Hecox (born 30 November, 1987). Smosh is the most subscribed channel of all time on YouTube (as of June 2007), with 120,000+ subscribers, over 25,000 more than any other channel. Smosh's videos have been viewed by millions of people and have appeared on mainstream television. Padilla and Hecox both attend American River College and live in Carmichael, California, a city near Sacramento.
Smosh's Pokémon Theme Music Video was once the most viewed video on YouTube, but it was removed due to a copyright claim by "Shogakukan Production Co. Ltd.". Before it was removed it had fallen down to fourth place. It had over 24 million views.
In March 2007, Smosh won the award for "Best Comedy of 2006" with the video "Smosh Short 2: Stranded" in YouTube's first ever YouTube Video Awards.
Smosh's alternate account on YouTube is IanH where they show clips of things they don't consider worth the attention of the masses that watch videos from their Smosh account. Smosh is popular enough that even this account is in the Youtube Top 100 Most Subscribed list at #71 with over 14,200 subscribers.

Smosh.com began in mid-2002 as a free forum for a group of high school friends in Carmichael, California. The forum now has over 50,000 members. The duo says that they get all there ideas from a comedian known only as Ricky, they said that he lives in Elk Grove and goes to Franklin Highschool. They said the reason that he doesnt appear in any of there videos is that his parents didnt want his face of the television or the internet, so Ricky writes all of their ideas and they play them out on camera.
