I love how immediately after Courtney said "That's better than mine!" she just resorted to insulting Shayne's piece left, right, and center.

[NeonGeminis]

Noah: Solid. An actually good try from a beginner trying his best.
Shayne: Surprisingly well executed. Lot of praising from the audience.
Olivia: Absolute fucking chaos.

[sreeanumolu]

I did not expect Shayne to paint so well. The way he painted the beach and the texture of the foam of the ocean, especially where they blend to make a teal/turquoise, looks like the work of an actual art student. The colors and values were spot on

[Mezzy..]

Shayne: makes a masterpiece
Courtney, jealous: *this is awful.*

[kyrbo]

Courtney’s improv is just insane here I lost it at “in the cult wars”

[tylerhenry]

This I think is the best character Courtney has ever done, I loved learning more about Barbed Wire Restricted Area and want her to teach a pottery course despite her allergies.

[mini_bini]

As a former art student... Oliva looks like the rich kid in the class who is pissed off about being rich and refuses to follow the rules, Noah is the guy taking the art class to be with the girl he has a crush on, Shayne is the guy who is a really good artist but has zero confidence and the wannabes put him down to try and make themselves look better

[brycryfry]

courtney literally catfished them by painting her catfish as a cat and fish combined instead of a literal catfish

[micah]

I love how Shayne and Courtney’s worst enemies are each other’s character 😭

[ccRask]

As a middle school art teacher, Olivia writing 'waves' and 'catfish' really hit home lmaooo

[WilliamAndrews]

Having Shayne be the straight man in this bit was so fucking fantastic. He usually is the one going insane, but him having the absolute best painting and just being kalm all the time was so hilarious.

[alexisoelberg]

Just what ive gathered so far:
Olivia-Modern Art
Noah-Abstract Art
Shayne-Realism

[CyberEJ]

Honestly, each piece had its merit. Olivia's was legitimately cool, Noah's sunset was LOVELY, Courtney had a REAAAALY nice ocean and well drawn cat-fish. Shaynes was just fucking amazing. Barb Ross was awesome. 100/10 video. I want more

[crispy]

Barb passively aggressively insulting shayne's art and grading unfairly is an actual thing some art profs do when they're jealous/insecure. Usually you can find them at universities and colleges with smaller art programs, but it's not impossible to hear horror stories from art school alumni.

[Valorum_]

You could see Court smile slightly when people were clapping for her painting like she was legit proud of it and was amazed that people liked it. It was adorable

[psicoparkita]

It's not often that you just immediately know that character will become a recurring character. But within seconds, I just knew that Barb Ross will be a featured character for Smosh

[WaveGazer]

Barb Ross is a good character. This should become a series.

[HaudRubrice]

We need to see more of the rivalry between Shayne Robert Topp and Barbed Wire Restricted Area!

[Kyng_K_T]

I like how shayne was just serious the whole time and actually terrified 😂

[shadesofgandalfthegrey]

I love how shane is just, thoroughly disturbed throughout the entire thing.
