The videos started as lip syncing to theme songs for various movies and TV shows, such as Power Rangers, Mortal Kombat, Pokémon, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, but as their uploads became more popular, they eventually transitioned to sketch comedy.
As part of this new feature, they also launched a new series on their second YouTube channel called "Smosh Pit Weekly" that summarized various articles posted on the website.
To help run the channel, Alloy brought in three new cast members from the recently acquired Clevver Media; David "Lasercorn" Moss, Joshua "Jovenshire" Ovenshire, and Matt Sohinki.
[9][10] The channel launched on September 25, 2012, and continued to expand with additional members from 2014 to 2018, such as Amra "Flitz" Ricketts, Wes Johnson, Ericka "Boze" Bozeman, and Damien Haas.
[11] As for their main channel, Padilla and Hecox began adding new cast members in 2015 with the addition of Keith Leak Jr., Olivia Sui, and Noah Grossman.
[16] Shortly after, both Lasercorn and Sohinki announced that they would no longer be full-time members of Smosh Games due to similar reasons, but both stated that their decisions were not in response to Padilla's departure.
New main cast members in this time included Kimmy Jimenez, Jackie Uweh, Amanda Lehan-Canto, Chanse McCrary, Angela Giarratana, and Arasha Lalani.
