The popular primarily comedic driven YouTube channel Smosh released their movie SMOSH: The MOVIE! on July,22nd 2015. It was critically panned due to Smosh having little input on the filmmaking process and the final result as a whole was not the rendition that Anthony Padilla and Ian Hecox imagined.
Originally the film was given an MPAA rating of Rated R due to what is suggested to be an amount of sexual and foul-mouthed content exceeding the standards of what the MPAA would deem suitable for the PG-13 rating. Studies have shown that out of all the ratings PG-13 performs the best [1] as seen in this article by thewrap.com.
The studio that Anthony and Ian were working with were stricken with the news of this and knew that something had to be done to even break even on the film in the box office. So the studio in a panic decided to cut big chunks of the film in favor of making it PG-13. The scenes on the Rated R cut are lost as long with the entirety of the original SMOSH: The MOVIE! film.
this is all confirmed in the popular drinking podcast cold ones episode featuring Ian in which he is asked about SMOSH: The MOVIE! and walks through its process of being made. [2]
