Template:Infobox Internet celebrity Smosh is a duo of college students, Anthony Padilla and Ian Hecox, from Carmichael, California. They attend American River College. However, they are famous for their writing, filming, acting, and editing in their own skits and "music videos". As of April 2008, they have over 312,000 subscribers on YouTube, making them the most subscribed on YouTube.
"Pokémon Theme" is Smosh's most famous video. In June 2007, the video was removed due to a copyright claim by Shogakukan. The video received more than 24,000,000 views before its removal. Some of their series are called "Smosh Shorts" and sometimes they portray TV shows. Their first video was the Power Rangers theme. Their "Smosh Short 2: Stranded" video won the 2006 YouTube Award for Best Comedy.
On April 1, 2008; Smosh had posted a video entitled "Smosh Sued for $20 Million", stating the creators of Pokémon had sued them for a copyright infringement for the music video they created, which got removed from YouTube about a year ago. In the video, Ian and Anthony display items that are going to be sold on their website: http://www.smosh.com/buyourstuff. For a certain amount of time, if you wanted to order something, the order button would redirect to a page stating "This item cannot be purchased because it is currently in someone else's shopping cart. Please try back in 15 minutes". A couple hours later, Smosh changed the buttons to redirect to a page saying "APRIL FOOLS!", saying the entire thing was a joke.
