Because of this game, the word "Sus" or "Suspicious" became popular as a meme.

Thank you for having us on!! It was really cool. :)

I love how they shouted out other indie games and emphasized that they are an indie game. Now so many indie games are even better than AAA games but just need the boost. Love how they haven’t lost themselves with the success.

I feel like it’s unrealistic to expect anywhere close to all 500 million people that were playing to continue for very long. If you can get even 1% of that it’s still a top tier mobile game

I love how humble the creators are. Shout-out to them for giving us a game that kept us going during quarantine.

i can’t believe these are the people who made henry stickmin

This team got INCREDIBLY lucky. With Among Us' late take off and The Henry Stickmin Collection being SUPER popular during its initial release (I'd say it's gotten even more popular thanks to FNF giving more attention to old flash games and animations), It goes to show how you never know when an idea will take off.

Bo burnham"s "Inside" just came out. So, is "I spent a day with Bo Burnham" something you're considering ?

He literally has a ring on every finger except his ring finger

Anthony: I'm going to show you some of my favorite imposter plays
*only corpse clips*

18:59 Yeah, that's really dumb, same thing with Fortnite that people say the same thing. It's just really dumb, just because a game goes down in popularity doesn't make a game dead.

I actually started playing among us 2 days after it was first released in 2018, it's been so weird seeing it blow up.
I remember one day in 2020 I was on the bus and heard some kids playing among us and it sreaaly amazed me. I had never seen anyone play it before.

Anthony's people need to just stop patching the roof they know that he cant help himself

i genuinely cannot imagine how trash life in fall/early winter would’ve been without among us

No one:
Literally no one:

Anthony: "CREATING AMOG US"

Honestly before Among Us I didn’t really talk to many of my irl friends like I do today. I probably talked to like 5% of my friends that I have today back then. Yet when I got an invitation to play Among us from one of my friends, it started to help me get close to so many other people that went to my school that I knew yet didn’t really talk to out of school. We played this game basically every day, only growing our bonds for each other. Eventually we grew out of Among Us, yet we still haven’t grown out of each other.

Without this game, the word “sus” or “suspicious” wouldn’t be a meme

let’s just appreciate the fact that this game helped a lot of people survive covid and brought a lot of our fav yts and streamers together

I love it somehow related to Anthony's life , how making videos gets stressful when it make such a big hit.
I haven't' seen anyone since Anthony left Smosh , but I just come to say , I really love how you made your own way and I'll keep supporting you!
Thank you for filling my childhood with joyous.

This game gave me and my family something to do together during quarantine. Major props to the creators!

This game made everyone's quarantine so much better. Props to the creators!!

When the infected is sus. Just doesn’t sound right

I met my closest online friends playing this game. Thank you to the founders so much.

I love that mafia was what inspired them as I have played mafia many times in scouts

we all know anthony is corpse’s number one fan at the way he laughs at his imposter plays

Is it Corpse? Is it our boy? Hell yeah, that's our favourite imposter

I will probably never forget Among Us. I don’t play it anymore, I’ve lost interest in actually playing the game (primarily because a lot of players I find are toxic and make the experience unfun) but I still appreciate the game and what it’s done for me. Back in late September of 2020, I remember seeing a bunch of videos of it on tik tok and was like “Alright I’ll try this game” and I immediately became hooked, which still kinda surprises me considering I wasn’t really interested in murder mystery type things before that point, but that time I spent in 2020 playing Among Us was some of the most fun I’ve had in gaming, and those memories will last with me for a long time. I made great memories with my friends because of it, if not playing it, simply talking about it. Among Us is also a reason I got interested in the murder mystery genre. Most likely in the future, when nobody even remembers the game, I will still appreciate those memories.

Anthony: "I wanna show you a few clips from my favorite imposter"
*shows clips of CORPSE*
:D

Anthony's laughing at the corpse kills is so wholesome

I still love the fact that even when the person being interviewed isn’t there in the room, the screen that they are on is still put on a chair

I like how falling from a ceiling is literally his routine in his every video

they’re so humble and lovely, i love these devs :)

I only stopped playing because everyone in any lobby I joined acted like it was the bloody Superbowl. I play to have fun. Not give myself a wedgie over.

Among us was the only excuse I had to call my friends for hours during covid and have a blast ❤️

At the beginning of the video where you were talking about that game that is like mafia but in the dark I would play that at my church and the name I heard for it is murder in the dark. Love that game!

I just love how Anthony is still lowkey friends with corpse even after the interviews :’) like wearing his merch and supporting him

New found respect for the developrs. i'll be honest, i did not know it was handled by just 3 people. Now i really appreciate what they do

This is a team that deserves so much love. They really made something amazing that helped so many people through Covid.

Honestly super happy they mentioned Kaif. I saw the game through him and spent basically a month trying to convince people to get it.

The people saying that its easy to update a game, don't know game design themselves

Let's appreciate him calling Corpse his favorite imposter 😏😌

Anthony, can you make 'I spent a day with Smosh'?

i need to admit among us was actually one of the best things that happened to me bc i got to play with internet friends i just used to know and i got to have so much fun

"If there's a nugget"
**flashes pic of the among us nugget**

After this game, I can never hear the words "suspicious", "imposter", and "among us" normally ever again

I enjoyed among us until the whole thing where you can only use “quick chat” (which actually makes it slower) unless you create an account. I can’t create an account, which makes it difficult to chat, and consequently makes the entire game difficult. I just ended up deleting the game since I never played it anymore:/

I enjoyed it during quarantine and appreciate the time and effort these people put into it.

There’s a boss among us……

I might not play among us anymore like I did when COVID started but we have to give props to the creators because it entertained us for a good amount of time and even if we don’t play as much as we once did, a lot of work went into making the game so I’m hoping too see their work in the future!!!

Tbh i think Among Us is gonna be like Minecraft where it surges in popularity every few years but remains a consistently played game

Almost 2 weeks late to this video but I really enjoyed it! I wasn't sure how the interview would go, but you handled it really maturely and respectfully while still keeping it very fun and engaging (as you tend to do with most of your "I Spent a Day With" content)! Keep up the great work and don't feel pressured to stay making only one type of content! Of course, if you enjoy it as much as your viewers do, keep on going, but we'll follow you if you ever want to branch out!

Anthony falling through the ceiling is pretty sus at this point

It's crazy to think that if they were called infected instead of imposters the memes would probably not be a thing

I just love the tapes going in the player, it is so satisfying.

I played a diffrent version of Mafia. Cards with roles were handed out, and there was a narrator who told people to go to sleep, wake up (So different roles could do stuff). They would have a meeting, and people would vote who they thought was it. If two were tied, both would defend themselves. So similar to among us.

Corpse is his favourite impostor? Aww I love their friendship!

See, this shit's inspiring. I have a small business. Every day, I have to remind myself to keep going because one day I'll see it succeed, even if it takes a few years.

Its been so fun watching this game grow! Back then you were able to go on a server and see the same person you played with weeks ago, (Hey BUTTER if you're out there i missed you man, You may remember me as The Carrot i mainly hid behind crates so my head looked like an actual carrot, its been around 1.5 years 😔)

The creator’s of among us once actually said “we are sorry for making among us” and it was fucking hilarious😂

It’s crazy to think how just 3 people can start such a big thing like among us

I spent my last birthday playing Among Us with a bunch of friends, because we couldn't celebrate in person, so huge thanks to the developers for making a game that was able to bring people together during this time!

Happy that Kaif and SR got mentioned, they deserve more recognition

It's so nice to see them acknowledge Kaif

I knew this was based off mafia, that’s how I explain to people who don’t play

It’s honestly amazing how so many people will be able to look back at Among Us as a true friend group experience and remember how fun it was, the amount of times this game has made me laugh with my friends is ridiculous

Some of the most chill, and honest developers, hope everything's well with them.

I found the SR group (Kaif, Daz, Stan, Ebbz etc) by pure chance one day, that was my introduction to among us and i loved seeing how popular the game became down the track.

Anthony’s is CORPES’ biggest fan 🤣

I don’t think the creators know just how much this game has helped during some dark times. So if they somehow see this.. thank you so much!! Me and my best friend became really close while playing this game 💚

"Toilet wizard" is referencing Gastro from the Henry Stickmin universe. His description is "A practitioner of the dark arts of Fecromancy. ...He's a toilet wizard."

Something about being one of the first people to play such a massive game feels surreal.

Anthony: uploads a video
Ceiling: ah shit, here we go again

THE FOUNDERS OF IMPOSTER GAME?

I just love how that Anthony drops from the ceiling and makes a big hole in the ceiling XD

Once I was playing like usual and I got imposter SO MANY TIMES in a row, (I was still new so I didn't like being imposter) and oh man it was so funny I wish I recorded that

Imagine being Anthony and kicking it with the creators of Among Us 😭😭😭

Anthony *uploads a new video*
Ceiling and ceiling repair guy: *Ah sht here we go again*

i really wanna say that
they should add levels and things as they make competition more
like as of right now there is nothing like that
and it will help them grow again

marcus’ childhood ver of mafia is a bit different than how i played it but still the same concept ! i find it so fun and interesting how different places around the world play certain childhood games

Even my old friends I haven't talked to for years suddenly messaged me to invite playing Among Us. Sadly I never got the chance to play because I broke my phone but I see the desperation to look for another player lol

Did anyone get teary eyes when watching this? I feel like a proud mum listening to their success :')

I remember playing among us for the first time in 2019 at the lunch table as a sophmore... good times man

My 13 year old autistic son heard this on and lit up! He's so excited about this! He knows all about this. I actually didn't know about it. But he's the most excited I've seen him recently. 😀

When he said "I want you to see my favorite imposter" I have like "it better be corpse. If it isn't I will cry."

As a Twitch fan, Among Us did so much for us! Our favorite streamers got together and all became friends 💚

I loved how casual it is and the funny animation! 😂

19:54
Multiplayer does that

Dude mafia was one of my favorite games as a kid can’t believe it never clicked that among us was inspired by it

These new thumbnails are great! Good call re-inventing them Anthony👍🏼. And great job to the artist. Now I will watch the video OF COURSE😊

I remember playing this shit back in highschool 2017 or 18 it was in beta at the time, it was actually kinda cool and I never expected it to blow up at all, never really understood it at the time too

Everybody in this crew seem so chill. They seem fun to hang out with!

hey Anthony can you please do "I spent a day with THE FOUNDERS of Minecraft"

Shooter game devs: Look at our fancy graphics and intense gameplay
Indie game devs: Haha bean characters go brrrrr

I played this game with someone I didn't know at a summer camp in 2018. We happened to go on the same week the next year as well, so we played them again.
It was so fun to see it get popular, and it really made for great content from the people I watched, so I'm glad it became so popular.

Very cool of them to shout-out itch :). Go there to play indie games 21:25.

did anyone notice that at 13:20 The editors misspelled “Among”us this is such a cool video too!

It must have been so stressful having so much success out of nowhere, but im glad they got to experience it most indie developers cant say the same

I still love playing Among Us with friends. And I can’t wait to see future unrelated games

Watching the whole video makes me think that Amy really needs a hug
