Anthony Padilla is an American internet personality, comedian, filmmaker, and actor known for his influence on the development of online video.

He was later joined by Ian Hecox, and together they began posting videos on the Smosh YouTube channel, which became one of the most popular channels on the platform. Padilla was one half of Smosh, a duo recognized for pioneering YouTube comedy and creating song parody and skit-style shows that shaped early online video culture.
