Afternoon Delight: Have a Laugh with the Hypotheticals of ‘The Big What If’

What better way to prepare for the fast-approaching weekend than by indulging in the some of the Internet’s most well-done web content? Take advantage of your lunch break and treat yourself to Afternoon Delight, Decider’s carefully curated picks of the best short-form content available on the world wide web. This week we’re spotlighting The Big What If, a new web series that debuted this week on Smosh.

The latest project from Smosh favorites Anthony Padilla and Ian Hecox, The Big What If presents a series of “what if?” scenarios in each standalone installment. Each episode carries its own subject, and timely as ever, the first subject of the series is Donald Trump. The inaugural four minute long episode imagines the most outlandish of hypotheticals – from the shuddering thought of Trump as a massage therapist to his outlandish demand to the people of Westeros that they build another wall.

While this Trump (and mainly all others, really) can’t top Alec Baldwin‘s impression, it’s certainly still good enough to land big laughs with each crazy scenario.The episode concludes with the most insane scenario of all: “what if Donald Trump were honest?” The skillful editing, fearless cast, and blatant pokes at The Donald’s ridiculous antics make The Big What If a must-watch for your Thursday afternoon. We can’t wait to see what the minds over at Smosh imagine next.
