**Food Battle 2013** is a Smosh video released on November 1, 2013 and is the eighth installment in the famous Food Battle series.

## Trailer

The video opens with an announcer explaining that Food Battle is canceled due to YouTube's new "food related violence" law, and this year's Food Battle will look something like this (shows a dog playing with itself in a mirror). Angrily, Ian (as another announcer) shoots the first guy and says that Food Battle 2013 is on.

## Plot

### Introduction

After a stare down, Anthony and Ian both declare a rematch, since last year was confusing. Anthony then pulls his new food out of his pants: the giant gummy snake. Ian accepts the challenge though at the point where he is supposed to devour two of his donuts and start the battle proper, Ian doesn't have his donuts. A person behind the camera hands them to Ian, and Food Battle 2013 begins.

##### Alternate Scene #1

After Anthony chooses to do a blanket to hide a dead body, Ian accepts as he comes up from the table and the camera comes closer to him while having the creepy look.

##### Alternate Scene #2

After Anthony took the book, Anthony talked differently. Even the cameraman thankfully thought that was the alternate scene.

#### Crystal Ball

Ian asks why Anthony has a band-aid. Anthony prepares to explain but Ian falls asleep and Anthony yells "let's do a CRYSTAL BALL!" and Ian wakes up. A narrator says "Don't worry folks. Anthony said crystal ball, not balls. Oh f\*\*k it! I don't know why I'm bothering to explain this!"

**Ian** - Ian looks into the hole of the donut and sees a girl, which he calls his future girlfriend. Ian says that she's hot but sees her hugging another guy. Ian runs up to confront the couple, only to find out that the girl is actually a guy, causing Ian scream in horror. Result: **X**

Anthony says that he doesn't have any money, but he tells her about "something that's bright red and 30 inches long". The prostitute says that is nasty, but Anthony KOs her with the snake. Result: **X**

**Ian** - Ian tries to use donut to purchase crack, but trips on a cardboard head and starts falling towards a sword. After flailing a lot, Ian narrowly escapes being impaled by a sword. Anthony comes in complaining that his gummy snake predicted that Ian would die and Anthony would win. Ian says that it's "crazy as balls," but since Ian said the trigger word from earlier, he hits himself with a stuffed cat and is then "killed" by a sword after he falls into it as Anthony says that he is a winner. Result: **Result Not Taken**

##### Alternate Scene

After Anthony excepts Ian's suggestion, Ian gets scared of Anthony's arms made of giant gummy snakes which Anthony doesn't know what he was scared of.

### Ending

Ian somehow survives being impaled because his mom's bra stopped the sword before it could kill him. Ian throws the sword into the air, sticking it onto the ceiling. Anthony and Ian hug after realizing that they should be friends and not wish for their deaths. As they hug, the crack dealer says that the hug is "gay as balls." Ian is still under the effects of the hypnotism and hits himself with the donut, breaking the hug. The sword falls off the ceiling and impales Anthony, killing him. Ian does a victory walk through the garage as the Food Battle News Reporter follows him, declaring Ian the winner of Food Battle of 2013. Asking him what he's going to do now, Ian says he is going to walk around with his bra on.

* Hot Dog Wiener (Eliminated in Round 3 Matchup vs Giant Gummy Snake)
* Candy Cane (Eliminated in Round 2 by Giant Gummy Snake)
* Banana (Eliminated in Round 2 by Hot Dog Wiener)
* Chocolate Bar Donut (Eliminated by Giant Gummy Snake in the first vote period)
* Fried Pickle (Eliminated by Hot Dog Weiner in the first vote period)

## Trivia

* Most info about this and the announcement were announced at the end of the Livestream.
* In the trailer at 0:45, behind the black censor box (that reads: "SECRETS ARE BACK HERE") you can visibly see somthing that looks like the Giant Gummy Snake.
* This is the second Food Battle where Anthony's food was candy. The first was in 2011 where Anthony used the Rainbow Lollipop.
* **Running Gag:** The Gummy Snake coming out of Anthony's Pants.
	+ What Anthony did in the beginning (taking the snake out of his pants) was possibly in reference to the Hot Dog Weiner's campaign video where other foods made fun of Hot Dog for looking like a penis, so the viewers can think that Food Battle 2013 was Pink Frosted Sprinkled Donut vs. Hot Dog Weiner due to the d\*\*k joke.
* Anthony's gummy snake probably didn't predict the real future, since it predicted that Ian would die so Anthony could win; which nearly happened though didn't showing the possible fact that The Gummy Snake was something that sees events through a parallel universe due to the multiverse theory.
* Just like every Food Battle's "SHUT UP!" Opening, a person usually says that he's eating something "very good". This time he doesn't get to finish what he wanted to say before he was Shut Up'ed.
* As heard in the video, Anthony sings a butchered version of the jingle from Folgers' Coffee in the first battle.
* In the "Shin Guard" battle, the "Jovenshire Wax Job" is referenced.
* In the "Blanket to Hide a Dead Body" battle, Ian is whistling the tune of Miley Cyrus's "We Can't Stop".
* The last time Ian won was in Food Battle 2009, Anthony won 2010, and in Ian's body for 2012. In 2011, The Announcer dies before he can say that Anthony won, so neither Ian or Anthony won Food Battle 2011.
* This is the second latest in the year that a Food Battle was released, as most of the others were uploaded way earlier, such as 2007 in May, 2008 and 2009 in July, 2010 in August, 2011 in September, and 2006 and 2012 in October. It was announced that the successor to this video, Food Battle 2014, will be releasing on November 21st, even later than its predecessor.
* This is the first time that Sgt. Anous is seen in the Food Battle series and he will probable appear again like Benny Jean and Cheryl Hecox and other characters like Billy Hamburger and/or Stevie will probably appear in the "Food Battle" series.
* When Sgt. Anous shoots Anthony, it is done similar to the way it is in the "How-To" Series, although he doesn't scream "BULLSH\*T!!!" before shooting, and when he fires his pistol, it fires completely automatically. This would have meant that he is firing his pistols in a rapid sucession.
	+ This is the only time Sgt. Anous didn't say the famous, "BULLSH!T!!!"
* It is shown in Food Battle 2009 that Anthony smashes a glass on Ian's head without knocking him out. A similar thing happens here, while this time, a beer bottle was used though was a "break-away" prop.
* This is the second time Ian doesn't say "NOOOOO!!!!" to the Food Battle Reporter at the end, the first was Food Battle 2011, when they both were in the afterlife.
* In the Money challenge, when Anthony KOs the prostitute, the KO effect obviously comes from​ *Super Street Fighter IV* and its own arcade edition.
* This is the last Food Battle to have been filmed at Ian's Parents' house
* This Is The Final Food Battle To Show Anthony's Emo Hair
* Pretzel (Eliminated by Candy Cane in the first vote period)
* Corn on the Cob (Eliminated by Banana in the first vote period)
