Smosh's first YouTube video "Power Rangers Theme", released in November 2005, although created in August of that year, was their ticket to success. This was followed by a stream of other successful music videos and films. They apparently got a deal with MTV in August 2006 to make two videos every month for a six month period. As of 2008, Smosh have been riding their national success for over two years and show no sign of slowing down.
