Smosh was originally formed in 2002 by Anthony Padilla and Ian Andrew Hecox. It started as a social network for Ian and Anthony to chat with their friends and post Flash videos. The boys decided to lip-sync to theme songs such as Pokémon and Mortal Kombat.
Anthony later found YouTube in 2005 and created an account.Their first video was called Power Rangers Theme, not Pokemon Theme. This was clarified by both Ian and Anthony on the "SMOSH PLAYS HAPPY WHEELS (Gametime w/ Smosh) video at 4:38.
Only Anthony has made a Draw My Life. Ian never cleared up why he never made his.

One of their friends was telling them about how he went to a Hannah Montana concert and how he was in this really awesome ‘mosh pit’. He thought that he’d said ‘smosh pit’, but then it just became an inside joke between their network of friends.
