Bring ‘Em Back (We Want Dinos) - Fred Darts (Official Music Video)
Dinosaur outrage has found its rhythm section. Beneath Smosh's "Bring 'Em Back (We Want Dinos) - Fred Darts (Official Music Video)", viewers are talking about the bassline, the fleeting skateboarding footage and how precisely the parody captures an early-2000s music video.
The comedy rap-rock track was the most-watched of Smosh's three uploads this week, reaching roughly 1.4 million views. Spencer Agnew, Mike Criscimagna and Nate Deas share songwriting credits for a premise that turns scientific priorities into one dinosaur enthusiast's very loud grievance. Dinosaur books, bedroom decorations and a prop asteroid give the performance its own miniature world.
Music has a substantial history on this channel. "SMOSH Assassin's Creed 3 Song [MUSIC VIDEO]" and "LEGEND OF ZELDA RAP [MUSIC VIDEO]" remain among its most-watched regular uploads. Fred Darts belongs to that musical side of Smosh, though his inspiration is less a single game than a whole era of baggy-clothed rock theatrics.
The newer "Entering the function like:" is currently adding views faster than the music video. September's "I think he needs help..." also remains among the channel's busiest uploads, giving the week's activity a back-catalog component.
Overall, subscribers were unchanged over the week, while daily viewing is running below Smosh's usual pace. Nearby comedy channels have mixed fortunes too: Mini Katana is drawing well above its usual daily viewing, while Daniel LaBelle is running below his. For Smosh, the distinctive new addition is a song whose comments include memories of childhood dinosaur tribute videos, alongside surprisingly specific appreciation of the bass tone.
