5. Smosh

Prepare your funnybones for Smosh, the consummate internet veterans who cut their teeth way back in 2003 making comedic flash videos on Newgrounds. The double team of Ian and Anthony have gone from strength to strength since they made the jump to YouTube in 2005, becoming the most subscribed channel on no less than three occasions and developing their own Smosh network which has channels dedicated to games and even a spanish language channel (El-Smosh). The pair's irreverent videos and slightly twisted sense of humour has won them the adoration of millions around the world and even allowed them to branch out into other media, releasing a mobile game and even four albums of songs they've done for YouTube. Smosh was one of YouTube's earliest success stories and their appeal endures over nine years since they joined the site, being 11 years after they started making videos.
