Hello, and welcome to Smosh Reads Reddit Stories. I'm Shayne, and today's episode is a classic Am I the Asshole episode. However, we have a very special guest joining us here today. We have Jacksepticeye on the couch.
**Sean McLoughlin** (0:13)
Wow, that was so cool to watch you do that.
**Shayne Topp** (0:15)
Yeah, and we also have Trevor, who wore the same outfit as me.
**Trevor Evarts** (0:19)
Well, actually, I had it on first. And also, my collars pop, so it's like basically we're not even writing.
**Sean McLoughlin** (0:24)
You're top of my team.
**Shayne Topp** (0:25)
I watched you put it on.
**Trevor Evarts** (0:28)
That's not even true, you can't prove that.
**Sean McLoughlin** (0:31)
I was there.
**Shayne Topp** (0:32)
Thanks for being here.
**Sean McLoughlin** (0:33)
Thank you, I'm so excited.
**Shayne Topp** (0:35)
So cool. Yeah!
**Sean McLoughlin** (0:37)
Let's judge some people.
**Shayne Topp** (0:39)
For people watching, today, we've been filming tons of videos. You've been in everything.
**Sean McLoughlin** (0:44)
Yes.
**Shayne Topp** (0:45)
You filmed a Try Not To Laugh, you filmed some games videos.
**Sean McLoughlin** (0:47)
We did Jackbox, yeah.
**Shayne Topp** (0:49)
And now you're here.
**Sean McLoughlin** (0:50)
First Reddit Story, first Try Not To Laugh. This is big for me.
**Trevor Evarts** (0:53)
This is my third video with Sean today.
**Shayne Topp** (0:56)
You guys are like.
**Sean McLoughlin** (0:57)
We're getting married after this.
**Shayne Topp** (0:58)
I think we should kiss, yeah.
**Sean McLoughlin** (0:58)
Yeah.
**Shayne Topp** (1:01)
That's how you definitely get the Smosh EGOT.
**Sean McLoughlin** (1:03)
Am I the asshole for thinking Rea-Trevor should kiss me today?
**Shayne Topp** (1:08)
And you've watched plenty of clips from this show, right? Yes. Yeah.
**Sean McLoughlin** (1:12)
I think a lot of these are very, I was so happy when you read Poop Knife.
**Shayne Topp** (1:17)
Yeah, finally got that one. Are you much of a Redditor?
**Sean McLoughlin** (1:21)
Oh, God. Answer carefully. It's like, do I say no or do I say yes and be cringe?
**Shayne Topp** (1:27)
It's damned if you do, damned if you don't.
**Sean McLoughlin** (1:29)
I go on Reddit for like gaming stuff.
**Shayne Topp** (1:32)
Sure.
**Sean McLoughlin** (1:32)
So it's like gaming news and whatever. And stuff always ends up there first.
**Shayne Topp** (1:36)
Yeah.
**Sean McLoughlin** (1:36)
And like leaks and whatever. So I'm on there a lot more than I think I would like to be.
**Shayne Topp** (1:41)
Okay. Trevor, thoughts? What do you think? How are you?
**Trevor Evarts** (1:43)
No, I feel like you guys said it really well. I didn't think that I needed to add anything else.
**Sean McLoughlin** (1:47)
Are you a Redditor?
**Trevor Evarts** (1:49)
Oh, no.
**Shayne Topp** (1:51)
Oh, God. No.
**Trevor Evarts** (1:52)
And I don't even mean it. I just don't go on Reddit. If I do, it's because I'm trying to look something up and figure something out. It's always like a medical question or something.
**Sean McLoughlin** (2:01)
Honestly, I think that's probably how I'm on Reddit most as well. Yeah. Am I dying Reddit? Yeah.
**Trevor Evarts** (2:05)
Or something like a game. I'm like, how do I do this thing? But no, I don't scroll on Reddit. I'm not lurking any subreddits or anything.
**Sean McLoughlin** (2:14)
That's true. I don't have a subreddit I go to. What's your Reddit rep like?
**Shayne Topp** (2:18)
Not much. I do sometimes go on and I get caught up in an am I the asshole story, but I'm reading it and then I'm like, wait, I shouldn't do this.
**Sean McLoughlin** (2:29)
Yeah. Save it for the stage.
**Shayne Topp** (2:31)
This is work. I don't need to.
**Sean McLoughlin** (2:33)
You can't bring work home.
**Shayne Topp** (2:34)
Yeah, yeah. No, I'll solve this later.
**Sean McLoughlin** (2:38)
You got some good stuff for us today?
**Shayne Topp** (2:40)
I think so.
**Sean McLoughlin** (2:41)
Okay.
**Shayne Topp** (2:41)
I haven't read them, but I'm about to. Okay.
**Trevor Evarts** (2:44)
Read it. I sure hope he did.
**Shayne Topp** (2:46)
Nice.
**Trevor Evarts** (2:47)
Don't give him shit.
**Shayne Topp** (2:48)
Okay, let's hop into these stories. Our first story comes from Am I the Asshole posted in November of 2025 Would I be the asshole for refusing to bring $100 minimum to Thanksgiving?
Okay. Let's see what's going on here. Okay. My family and I celebrate Thanksgiving every year with my siblings, parents and their kids, roughly 20 to 25 people, including kids. My family is only two people with one six month old baby. In the group chat, it was decided that my nephew would cook meat since he bought a grill. He also told us that we could bring the sides. He chose to spend $300 on meat. I messaged in the group chat that we could bring mashed potatoes. My sister responded that every family has to bring $100 worth of food minimum or help my nephew pay for the meat. I'm not totally against the idea of bringing that much food, but just the way it was presented and the fact that it wasn't agreed to beforehand makes me upset. The following day in the group chat, my sister said, Option 1, bring food enough for everyone, not just yourself. Option 2, help Thomas pay for meat, $100 slash family. Option 3, help dad pay water bill, $200 a family. Choose wisely. Upset, I responded with Option 4, don't show up. Am I being an asshole if I don't show up at all in protest to this $100 minimum rule? What the?
