The Curious Case Of So RANDOM!

So Random was a spinoff of a show that was never intended to have one. Despite it coming from a fairly popular Disney Channel show, it's rarely brought up in conversations today. But why? Well, hopefully this video can shed some light on this fascinating topic.

What were YOUR thoughts on So Random/Sonny With A Chance?

[josemunoz]

“Socks and Sandals” and “Ketchup on Everything” are engraved in my mind. Looking forward to this!

[ZakareeRandol]

Shayne and Damien are still best friends and Shayne is basically the face of modern Smosh!

They've actually had a few So Random reunion on Smosh, and they're pretty gold

[isseppej]

The actors playing actors in a sketch show is so funny to me because how am I supposed to watch this show knowing bts Zora is a maniac who lives in the vents

[Nameless_mixes]

According to Demi and Sterling during the SWAC reunion on Zoom, they think that Sonny and Chad would eventually get back together if a season 3 had happened. So, it’s not too farfetched of a head cannon to think that Chad joined So Random as a favor for Sonny because of his feelings for her.

So Random wasn’t too bad. The music and guests were bangers, and with the situation it was handed, it did fine. Marketability left with Demi, it was bound not to last, but it’s still better than most post-2010 Disney.

In other news, Damien Haas recently had his big break as a voice actor. He's been in games like Triangle Strategy, but more importantly he has a leading role in Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes as the male player avatar

Shayne and Damien have consistently been some of my favorites on modern smosh, and they've brought in some of their so random costars to feature in videos quite a few times

[ivanalcorchas]

The biggest mistake is that they should’ve done a McKenzie falls spinoff, not so random lol

[OphieRobot]

I have vivid memories of so random being my favorite disney show despite never having watched Sonny with a Chance, and honestly, I think that boosted the experience

[MISSMADISONMEDIA]

Matthew Scot Montgomery belonged on SNL. That comedic timing was beyondddd Disney!!! He deserves his flowers

[sebanatic]

Still find myself singing Socks with Sandals randomly sometimes

[MONETiAM]

Btw CoCo Jones exposing Disney actually gave her a career boost recently. She’s now starring in The Fresh Prince remake, and her music has been well received recently, she’s like a rising r&b star right now.

[hsisnothere]

i mean based on smosh’s recent content it seems like matthew, shayne and damien still get along well and are still, of course, funny af.

[miledith]

Shayne and Damien are still best friends and they are consistently great on Smosh. They also seem to be good friends with some of the other cast members from So Random as they featured some of them on Smosh, most notably Matthew who has been a guest on the channel multiple times.

[baileyv]

I remember LOVING So Random when it came out. As a kid that tired easily of the tropes of children's sitcoms, So Random was a refreshing, funny show. And it lived up to the name. I watched it again recently as an adult, and I have to say, some of the jokes really hold up. The Anime Bros still make me laugh out loud all these years later. This weird little show will always hold a special place in my heart.

I think had Demi never left Sonny would’ve became a singer. They planted that seed in the episode where they all found out she could write songs and sing. They also had Somny sing for the Halloween special and the Christmas special where she sung with Joe Jonas. Inthe final episode she sung a song about Chad lol it was all there

[Grfield]

Chad Dylan cooper & Sonny’s relationship truly made the show. Without them it wasn’t going to last imo.

[amdraglover]

I’m glad you mentioned being Shayne and Damien being on Smosh cause when Anthony left, those two became my favorites. Also fun fact, Matthew shows up on Smosh a couple times like in Damien’s funeral roast and they seem like they’re still pretty good friends. Damien actually just recently started running a DND campaign called Sword AF for the channel being the DM, Shayne being a player, and Angela from Starkid (who recently joined the cast), Amanda, and Chance (I’m not sure if his name is spelled like that or not)

[CleverCover]

It's wild how they just repeat show concepts for each new generation. Every person as long as tv has existed will have a sketch comedy show they loved/watched as kids.

Also, I'm so happy you came back and with your actual voice. I usually watch videos like these while I work out and the voice before was too distracting. Thanks for the great video.
