Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.

WOW Angela, too soon

Smosh Alike gives Angela's school-test confession a surprisingly solemn reception. In "WOW Angela, too soon," she recalls writing Franz Ferdinand on her Converse to cheat on a history test. A co-host immediately objects: "Don't talk about the Archduke like that." Angela laughs, the mock admonishments continue, and another co-host admits to turning answers on her own shoes into a design.

With roughly 620,000 views, it is the most watched of the week's new uploads. The comments find another possible explanation for the footwear: Franz Ferdinand is also a band. Several viewers imagine Angela passing the writing off as music merchandise rather than a study aid.

The dinosaur onesies in that clip make an accidental wardrobe bridge to "A Paleontologist Shows Us A New Species Of Dinosaur | Smosh Asks." Nate from the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County fields questions ranging from fossil formation and scientific names to dinosaur friendships and the most rideable dinosaur. A separate upload, "What did dinosaurs actually sound like?", is among the channel's most active videos right now.

The week's other long conversation takes a serious turn. "We Ask A Cult Survivor About His 22-Year Experience | Smosh Asks" covers the guest's years in a cult, recognizing warning signs and deciding to leave. It currently draws the most daily views of any video on the channel, with a shorter companion asking about misconceptions surrounding cults.

Across the catalog, Smosh Alike added about four million views over seven days while its subscriber count stayed unchanged. Daily viewing is now comfortably above its usual level, with the new survivor interview supplying the strongest momentum.

Having Franz Ferdinand written on your converse shoe is honestly the least conspicuous thing ever
