Music Video animated by ▸ @Shoocharu

LYRICS
Dan: Hey there Arin, how you doing?
There’s a hot new thing that’s brewin’
All the people wanna know how far would you go
With a Pokémon smash or pass, my bro

There’s over a thousand for you to choose from
I’m sure if you tried you could maybe find one
That would catch your eye, if the vibe was right
Keep an open mind let’s give it a try

Dan: Pikachu
Arin: SMASH
Dan: Charizard
Arin: SMASH
Dan: Squirtle
Arin: SMASH
Dan: Spoink?
Arin: OH MY GOD SMASH!

Dan: Ok hold up, do you know what “smash” means
It means you want to cream all in that Pokémon’s jeans
So mix in a “pass” and then you won’t seem
So desperate to sleep with anything that breathes

Arin: Oh, ok I get it
Dan: My man, here we go

Dan: Tyranitar
Arin: Smash
Dan: Blastoise
Arin: Smash
Dan: Politoed
Arin: Smash
Dan: Cradily
Arin: Smash

Dan: Ok it really wasn’t your level of excitement that was the problem, Arin.
It’s that you were saying “smash” to everything
Arin: Oh ok sorry, I’ll think harder about it next time
Dan: No problem, here we go.
Diglett
Arin: …. Smash

Dan: Arin...you know what? That’s all right
I don’t want to come off like I’m being uptight
I was just unaware of your ravenous appetite
To have sex with little creatures with names like Magnemite
Arin: Smash

Dan: OK, lets approach this again
Just pass on everything that’s not an absolute ten
Can you do that for me?
Like if I said Klefki
Arin: Smash
Dan: Really the fuckin keys?
Arin: Yeah
Dan: They’re just a bunch of keys!
Arin: Smash

Dan: Gloom
Arin: Smash
Dan: Seel
Arin: Smash
Dan: Muk
Arin: Smash
Dan: Spheal
Arin: Smash
Dan: Arin what’s the deal?
Arin: Smash
Dan: You can’t smash deals
Arin: Smash

Come on, Dan. Who doesn’t like deals?
As far as I’m concerned, I’m just keeping it real

Dan: OK, let’s go for one last round
Your shocking need to plow never ceases to astound
So let’s widen out the circle and see if we have found
The one thing you won’t allow to knock your junk around

Dan: A chessboard
Arin: Smash
Dan: A small gourd
Arin: Smash
Dan: A 2014 Honda Accord
Arin: Smash
Dan: A green lime
Arin: Smash
Dan: A large mime
Arin: Smash
Dan: Half a bowling ball and the concept of time
Arin: Smash/Smash

Dan: An inflatable raft
Arin: Smash
Dan: A Boeing aircraft
Arin: Smash
Dan: The frozen mustache of former president Taft
Arin: Smash
Dan: A potato fully loaded that was left and eroded
On a road in South Dakota with a smell that exploded
Like a commode in which a constipated Yoda overflowed it
With his swampy-ass chode so your nose became corroded
Arin: Smash

Dan: Wow…what about me?
Arin: Pass
Dan: Awwww

[MrCoolRedLuigi]

Shoocharu is such a fantastic animator. I love the small detail of Dan and Arin's sleeves being completely gone because they flexed them off.

[biggtugg]

To be fair 2014 was one of the best years for the Accord.

[spidey]

1:31 is super ironic because if I remember correctly, Arin passed on klefki, and it was _Dan_ who said smash to it!

[SpaceShip-Orion]

You gotta understand, Arin has not used the Egoraptor moniker in 5 years.
This is like Batman putting on his mask after recovering from a back injury.

[alastairtivy-harris]

I love how Dan is singing some of the smoothest, grooviest lyrics I’ve ever heard, and almost all of Arin’s contribution is just “smash”.

[AMightyViciousOlogsFriend]

"Michelle! You gotta come look at this, Arnold is animating again!"

[the-thought-machine]

Arin “Any Port in a Storm” Hanson has now become Arin “respectfully fucking fictional animals” Hanson

[Arzamol]

1:48 is the first time I’ve seen Ninja Brian be afraid of someone.

[kata]

A basket of muffins? "smash" A turkey with the stuffing? "smash" A pillow that needs fluffin'? "smash" A society of puffins? "smash"

[gizmorazaar]

Was so caught off guard by hearing the exact make, model, and year of my car just being casually mentioned in a Starbomb video

[kenesys]

"A potato fully-loaded that was left and eroded on the road in South Dakota with a smell that exploded like a commode in which a constipated Yoda overflowed it with a swampy-ass chode so your nose became corroded."

The flow here is so goddamn funky I love it

[callmekitto]

I really appreciate how many pokemon shoocharu draws as abominations but spheal stays a perfectly delightful circle

[reelsmug]

"That's a chandelier, Arin!!" is one of my favourite lines from Dan to this day.

[Micolino]

Ninja Brian, Half an Hour Before this Interaction: "Hey Arin, I think I've thought of a way to banish the spirit that's been haunting our appartment."

[arkhize]

These lyrics are SO GOOD...

"ARIN, WHATS THE DEAL?!"
"Smash"
"YOU CAN'T SMASH DEALS!"
"Smash.
Come on Dan, who doesn't like deals?
As far as I'm concerned, I'm just keeping it real."

[Aslyth]

This video is so great. Brain being on his phone the whole time, Dan's expressions, the sleeves staying ripped off. It's just perfect.

[ariwl]

2:16 Never has anybody walked right into it so hard.

[hollomai]

When he said “Pass” to Danny it was less like a refusal to have shmex with him and more like a godly command to literally pass his soul to the afterlife

[JerichoDaemon]

The way NinjaBrian steps away from Arin only for Arin to grin like, 'Yeah, you know you's on that smash list... two feet ain't far enough.'

[ArcaneAnarchy]

Now I know Arin is usually the one who does the raps, but Dan absolutely kills it here. Especially the last part. I'm talking Hardware Store by Weird Al level of excellence.
