"Smosh: The Movie" has been acquired by Netflix in a new subscription-streaming deal.
The teen-comedy from YouTube stars Anthony Hecox and Ian Padilla will make its way to Netflix on Sept. 22 after it debuted last month on Apple’s iTunes and Vimeo for a direct-download fee, Variety reports.
Though sales figures have not been released, it ranked in the No. 2 position on iTunes’ movie ranking and the No. 1 position in comedy since it premiered.
The film – which centers around Padilla fighting to pull down an embarrassing video before his high school reunion – also features YouTube stars Jenna Marbles, Grace Helbig, Mark Fischback (Markplier) and Harley Morenstein.
Since 2005 the boys have been sharing parody sketches, lip synch bits and other #LOL yuks that have won them devotees among the digitally savvy generation.
