Funny / Game Grumps Arin And Danny Game Grumps VS

"Hey, guess what your main attack is? Walking!"

Pac-Attack

  • Danny discusses the proper way to say "douchebag".
• "Wait just a cotton-picking ghost-eatin' minute!"
• "I'm gonna go in my Pac-Garage and work on my Pac-Car."

• Danny playing nearly the entire VS as Big Zam.

• Arin describing how overpowered Big Zam is.
  Arin: Guess what your main attack is.
  Danny: What?
  Arin: Walking.
• How does Arin beat Big Zam? By getting behind it and attacking where Danny can't reach.
• After Arin gets beaten up by Big Zam a couple times, he decides to play Danny's game and chooses Big Zam.
  Danny: You son of a bitch, I can't believe you'd do tha-Big Zam.
  • Arin then unleashes Big Zam Beam thrice on Danny's, who never realized such an attack existed. Needless to say, one Zam trashes the other.
    Arin: WHO'S THE BETTER ZAM NOW, BITCH?!
• The 'bonus round' with the two Ball mechs 'fighting.'

Family Feud: Decades

• "Name something that only happens to people once a year." Danny: "Show me BUTTSECX (sic)!"
• Arin loses out on the 200 points at the end of the second game by two points. Both scream in rage.
• At the end of the second episode, Arin forgets who sent them the game, so the two thank increasingly outlandish and surreal people that they think might have sent them the game, including The Unabomber, The Avengers and the Justice League, pistachio ice cream, The Pope, Wreck-It Ralph and Goku. The last 4 are represented as a pint of Ben & Jerry's "Pistachio Pistachio" ice cream, with the Pope's hat, Ralph's arms, and Goku's overly happy face all on it.

Ballz

• Arin taking advantage of Bruiser's walk animation when facing away from the camera.
• Danny reading off the announcements on the screen.

Wheel of Fortune (PS2)

• Danny apparently knew the answer after the second turn, but lands on "Lose a Turn" four turns in a row. He still wins the round.
  • And Arin ending three turns in a row by landing on "Bankrupt", before also landing on "Lose a Turn". They progressively lose it as this goes on.
    • The above is made even better by Arin's Tempting Fate moment, seconds before he lands on "Bankrupt" again.
      Arin: Gimme some money bitch.
      Danny: Please lose a turn..
      Arin: Uh, no way.
      Danny: Lose a turn.
      Arin: There's no way I could possibly do that.
      (The wheel lands on BANKRUPT)
      Danny: YEAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!
      Arin: cracks up with laughter
      Danny: Is this wheel weighted?!
• Straight after Arin's Bankrupt, Danny spins the wheel... and lands on "Lose A Turn" again, causing him to let out a startlingly loud scream of pure rage. Arin proceeds to completely lose it.
  Danny: Wait, here we go. You ready? You ready? Here it comes. Here it comes. Here it goes! HERE IT COMES! HERE IT COMES!!!
  (The wheel lands on LOSE A TURN)
  Danny: AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!
  (Arin and Danny fly into hysterics)
  Danny: I'M OUT!!!
  Arin: OH MY FUCKING G—!!
  Danny: I'm out, I'm go—I'm checkin' my e-mail! I'm gonna check my e-mail! It's fucking garbage! It's like getting kicked in the fucking dick a thousand times in a row!
  Arin: Meanwhile, fucking Jim's over here like, "Is ThErE a W?"
  • According to Danny, he still gets gifts, fanarts, references, etc. to that scream. He's likened the sound he made to that of a wounded animal.
• Arin tries to spin the wheel following yet another "BANKRUPT" spin. Right after Danny sweeps the "Lose a Turn" space for a fourth time, Arin lands on it. Arin and Danny go into complete hysterics. By the time the episode ends they sound both physically and emotionally drained.
• Keep in mind that all of what happens above occurs with Vanna White's inserts that border on being creepy, making it sound like she's mocking the Grumps' terrible luck with the wheel.
• Danny wins Round 1, and to celebrate, Barry puts up a picture of Donald Duck in a bathtub, with his face instead of Donald's and the caption "Bitches and hos, bitch's nose, bitches and hos....................." (with that many ellipses).
• "What have they won, Charlie?"
  • "Nothing."
  • "You've won an all-expense paid trip to my taint."
  • [mumbling]
  • "You've won a trip to fabulous I dunno, probably Greece or something."
• "Scooby-Doo, Where are YOX?"
• The misadventures of the computer player, who they name Jim, are frequently mocked throughout the game.
  Computer Player: Gimme an F!
  Danny: (over the buzzer) Seven Fs. (both he and Arin laugh)
  Arin: Yeah; I was just about to say that! "I'd like to solve the puzzle! SFFFFFFF—!!" (he and Arin laugh further)
• During the Bonus Round, Danny has to guess the name of a "Place" that ends in "-se". He hurriedly puts in "Goose". The game shows the real answer ("House") in complete silence, almost as if the game itself is disappointed in him.
• Dan and Arin making fun of the delayed Stock audio.
• This moment, after Arin solves the Fill in the Number puzzle THE ## UNITED STATES OF AMERICA:
  Danny: Do [Vanna's] children just, like, grow up empty inside because she's just like, "You did it!"
  Arin: Probably.
  (Arin answers "50")
  Danny: "Congratulation—"
  Vanna: You did it! Fantastic!
  Danny: "Fantastic. Oops, 51, somebody forgot about Puerto Rico!"
  (Arin laughs)
  Danny: "That's a commonwealth."
  (Arin starts coughing)
• They replay this version around 9 years later and their bad luck, especially Dan's, regarding Bankrupt and Lose a Turn spaces continues.
• In Will Dan's luck EVER turn around?:
  • About 11 minutes in, Dan spins and nearly hits a Lose a Turn space, letting out of his most desperate sounding "no's" in Grumps history.
  • Shortly thereafter, they both realize the answer to the puzzle and Dan, who is currently losing to Arin, spins, saying the following lines:
    Dan: I have to go for it all!
    (Lands on Bankrupt)
    Dan: FUCK!! (Arin laughs wildly)
  • Later, Dan lands on the $3500 dollar spot and Arin says "Here's your fucking saving grace, right there." Before Dan misses the guess, getting nothing.
  • After Arin hits Bankrupt and having found the answer, "Jack in the box" Dan tries to get more money, and guesses "L", because he somehow thought it was "Pill in the box". Prompting Arin to wonder if Dan really is alright.
  • Later, after they both realize the answer again, Dan once again lands on bankrupt before he can get any money out of it.
  • The entire ending bit of "Vanna tells you how good your doing at Wheel Of Fortune JOI".
    Vanna: Wow, very impressive, Player 1!
    Arin!Vanna: Wow, look at you! So smart!
    Arin!Vanna: You're doing great!
    Dan: "Vanna White tells you you're good at Wheel of Fortune Try Not To Cum Challenge." (Both laugh)
    Arin!Vanna: That "Q" was a swing and a hit!
    Arin: Oh god! So hard!
    [...]
    Arin!Vanna: Thank you for coming!
    Arin: HaAa! Thank you, Vanna...
  • From "We swear Dan is a good Wheel of Fortune player":
  Vanna: Let's take a look at our last category: "Fictional Character".
  Arin: "Dan winning". [both Arin and Danny laugh]

Wheel of Fortune Junior Edition

• Anything involving Timbo, the computer player.
  • "I wish I could see his face so I could punch it."
• "Your teacher's a goddamn Chink!"
• Arin sounds out what a puzzle with only Y_____S____ ________ ____ showing could be: "Yo... ya... yi... Yippie-ki-yay?"^note Answer: YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK
• Danny's attempt at the same puzzle.
  Danny: Is it "Youdonsront Naklonat Mamm"?

You Don't Know Jack: Mock 2 (PS1)

• They received the game from a fan nicknamed Matt the Spratt, and because Matt sent them a prize package, Arin and Danny have a contest to see who wins the prize and who "wins" the loser's prize. A live-action clip at the end shows the results: Arin wins, and his prize is a copy of DJ Max - Emotional Sense Fever for the PSP. Danny, who loses, gets the right to be called "Fucbad" (spelled like that) for the next five hours, including episodes filmed during those five hours.
  • Before Arin opens his package, Danny asks to see it for a second, and just as Arin hands it over, Danny knocks it out of his hands. What makes it funnier is that Arin fell for it again literally seconds later.
• Danny and Arin speak through the instructions of the Coinkidink (Roadkill) round and are baffled by the bonus asking what all the correct answers have in common. Danny then laments:
  Danny: Oh... we forgot to pay attention. This always fucks us.
• Danny's reaction to the score:
  Danny: It was close! It was- it was close.
  • The score:
    Player 2 (Arin): $12,000
    Player 1 (Danny): -$6,000

Biker Mice From Mars

• After playing the game for twelve traumatizing minutes, the Grumps decide to try a more enjoyable activity.
  Arin: Dan, you wanna punch each other in the dick for three hours?
  Dan: Absolutely!
  • The best part is the Beat before Dan's little "Yay!" as he gets thwacked compared to Arin's instant exclamation of pain.

Family Feud

• Danny naming his Asian-looking family the "Jacksons".
• On the question "Name a card game played by kids", Danny guesses "MTG Standard Edition". When it shows an X, Danny calls bullshit.
• After running out of ideas, Danny gives the answer "Butt Peaner", and then yells "Show Me BUTT PEANER!"
• The question is "Name something you keep in your junk drawer". Due to the game's overly forgiving spelling, Arin gets the number one answer of "pencils", despite typing "penis and scrotum".
  • Made funnier by the fact that Arin had mentioned earlier in the game (and in at least one other Grump episode) that this happened in the past when he was playing the game with his brother. Imagine Arin's delight when he actually got to do it not only for Danny's enjoyment, but for the lovelies as well.

The $1,000, 000 Pyramid

• Danny opens episode 2 by shouting, "Playin' the feud!"
• Arin keeps on trolling Danny by swinging his Wiimote around as he's trying to think. Danny tries to get back at him when it's Arin's turn to play by singing loudly, but it doesn't work.

Ribbit King Rematch

• In Part 3, Danny begins talking close to the mic as a frolf announcer. When he wrongly states the score deficit between them, Arin corrects Danny, calls him an idiot, and both take turns announcing insults at each other. This grows into a Brick Joke at episode's end where Arin happily eats a bag of dicks at Danny's behest, complete with chewing sounds.

Jeopardy

• As Arin & Danny pick their Miis to represent them in game, one option appears as Chinigan.
• After picking State Mottos...
  Alex Trebek: Nebraska: "Equality Before the" This
  Danny: Uh... Integer.
  Arin: Ah ha ha ha ha!
• In Part 3, Arin sarcastically realizes the answer to a question.
  Arin: Best Movie Musical? What, Singin' in the Rain?
  Beat
  (Both start furiously pressing buttons)
• One question is Great Expectations, but Dan puts in Oliver Twist. Arin doesn't make an attempt at answering.
  Arin: I only know two Charles Dickens, Oliver Twist and Tom Sawyer.
  Dan: That is not Dickens. Tom Sawyer is Mark Twain.
  Arin: Go fuck yourself.
• Danny's tendency to buzz in, only to realize too late that he doesn't actually know the answer, leading him to simply input a random string of letters.
• In the Finale, after Danny's eliminated, he decides to help Arin in the Championship Round against the computer. One of the options given to the question is Florida, Arin's home state, but Danny pushes him to another answer. When the correct answer turns out to be Florida... Arin doesn't take it too well.
  Arin: I was gonna say Goddamn Florida, and then you were all, "Oh, it's Texas or Oklahoma!"
  Danny: Dude-
  Arin: You piece— I'm from Florida!
  • Danny rightfully points out that even if Arin had picked the correct answer, he still wouldn't have made enough money to win unless he somehow quintupled the amount of money he had (Arin had 2,800 dollars before answering, meaning that if he had bet everything and got the right answer, he would have had 5,600 dollars, while Samuel the AI had 10,250 dollars after answering).
  • The ending, from Barry messing the font on SAMUEL WINS! to Arin shanking Samuel for calling him and Danny morons.
  Danny as Alex Trebek: "What do you think of, uh, Danny and Arin's performance?"
  Danny as Samuel (Insufferable Genius voice): "Uh, what is 'morons'?" (snooty laugh)

Battle Chess

• A few seconds in, Danny lampshades it's the exact same game series, just with a different opening.
• Their banter during Part 3. Half not so serious smack talk, half sarcasm over how ungodly boring the gameplay is.
• As they play in the vacuum of space, Danny requests Barry provides epic chess music.
• Arin's surprise to Dan's Knight, followed by their subsequent laughter
  Arin: That's right. My Bishop knows his shit, yo. He went to, he fuckin, even though he's a man of God he was in the army for 17 years...(slowly it dawns on him)...I didn't see the Knight.
  Danny: Chess is the ultimate fucking game of "Gotcha! Oh, fuck."
• Danny puts Arin in checkmate with a well-positioned Bishop against the King.
  Arin: I don't hate it actually.
  Danny: The only way to stop it is by sacrificing your queen.
  Beat
  Arin:...I totally hate it.
  • After the "Man of God" Bishop kills the Queen, the King straight up shoots him in retribution. They were clearly not expecting that, and the grandiose background music even cuts out as the bullets fly. Not even the Pawn killing an enemy Knight, who wins by kicking the Knight in the dick, caused such a reaction.
• Arin's Flat "What" over Dan's use of the rare En Passant move in chess.
• The hand fart noise Arin gives a Pawn when it dies. And again when his King dies by the magic of Dan's Queen.

Sheep

• Danny properly instructs how to fuck sheep in the intro.
• After losing a few times, Danny suggests to Arin not to press the worthless triangle button. Wishing to prove it does something, Arin presses the button, charging his sheep and the soccer ball into Danny's goal.
• Danny shocked & Arin surprised Arin can kick his sheep.
• Their increasing excitement as the show goes on. Over sheep herding soccer.
• The ending, with Danny plugging Ninja Sex Party & melting in Mimi's presence.
  • He (jokingly) threatens to kill Mimi if viewers don't look at the new video, to which Suzy worriedly responds off-camera, "Don't kill Mimi!" Danny instantly softens up, apologises, and even appears to feel guilty about what he said.

Kirby's Dream Course

• Danny takes up a very strong lead, much to Arin's fury.
  • He tries to steal two of Danny's stars in a single putt, but misses the second one and spins out of control. His reaction is something straight out of their Super Mario Sunshine LP.
• Dan's instant Mood Whiplash of joy getting two stars, then shock after accidentally revving as a wheel off the golf course.
• After falling off the edge, Arin turns Dan's Little "No" into a Big "NO!".
  Danny: I will actually smash you. In the facial area.
• The usual: Arin going over the edge. Unusual: Kirby's arms outstretched welcoming death.
  Danny: It was such, like, an arms-out "Check my shit out!"
  Arin: "I've DONE it!"
  Danny: "WHOOOOOOO!...laaaaters."
  Arin: The "O"s turn into "A"s.
  Danny: "WhooooAAAAUUUUGH!"
• Arin + sleep deprivation = hilarity.
  Danny: Wow, this game is tearing us apart and I do not care. This is fun.
  Arin: Yeah, tearing us apart like a dude who can tear apart a phone book. (snickering)
  Danny: ...it's gettin' a little late.
  Arin: You know the guy! The guy who watched Beekman's World and is like, "I bet you I could rip a phone book for five dollars," and everyone else is like, "No you can't" and then he's like, "Check this out" and then he rips a phone book in half! And everyone's like, "Whoa, how did you do that?" and he's like, "Pfff, I'm not tellin'."
  (Danny cracks up)
• "Hey, and welcome back to Fuck Dan!"
• Dan's little Late to the Punchline moment.
  Arin: I don't even get a break, dude! What is this, a fucking Kit Kat commercial?
  Dan: I don't know what that means.
  Beat
  Dan: Oh, I got it!
  • Continued:
    Danny: "Why don't you break off a piece of my fucking ballsack, so you can suck on it forever?" ...They rejected my contribution.
    Arin: Well, that's what you get for being a— (dissolves into laughter)
    Danny: Go on. Go. The Fuck. On. Y'know what? Next time on Game Grumps. I'm tired of your shit. (Arin makes a play, which sends his Kirby across an air vent and straight out of bounds) See ya later!
    (Both Grumps lose it)
    [...]
    Arin: I was gonna say "That's what you get for being a Jew."
    Danny: (cracking up) Barry, put in that Anti-Semitism right at the end of the episode.
  • Arin's increase in death threats to Dan's increasing final score.
• In the finale, after Arin gets thoroughly stomped by Danny, he challenges him to one final, take-all round and manages to win. The two then bicker over who should be declared the overall winner, with Barry overlaying victory texts on top of each other until they cover the entire screen.
  • In the round itself, the Grumps collapse into a fit of laughter after Arin shoots his fifth consecutive O.B.
  • After learning a safe way to putt down, Arin collects his sixth O.B. What happens next is perhaps the most powerful laughing fit the Grumps have ever had on camera. They laugh so hard they can't even breathe.
  • The fact that this VS was done upwards of 4:00 in the morning and both Arin and Danny were whooping and hollering about. It's a good thing Arin had the room soundproofed, or Suzy would not have slept that night.

Mario Party 8

• The hilarious hypocrisy of the well-exercised Danny Sexbang getting annoyed to physically work out at some of the minigames.
• When Peach lands on a Donkey Kong square, "Remember when I used to kidnap you? Ah, those were the days! Let's reenact that right now!"
• Arin invents the concept of Let's Poop. Then, Dan invents the Let's Pump...
• Arin easily winning King of the Thrill. To Arin's amazement.
• The theme of prom-A Night with Grandpa.
• Dan's dying scream as Yoshi's frozen solid in Snow Way Out. Causing Arin to Laugh Themselves Sick.
• This exchange during Lean, Mean Ravine:
  Arin: So hold it like this...
  Danny: Do you wannna like, hold on to my leg? Or my junk?
  Arin: I could just hold onto your Wiimote and do it for you.
• Danny mentions he once hallucinated he was a ball.
• Danny effortlessly beating Chump Rope.
• Dan's slow in pressing the button due to wanting to hear the plot.
• Danny & Arin channel the Joker.
• The Black Comedy in the history behind Birdo's nose.
• Princess Peach as the Terminator.
• After opening the episode with cracker eating, Dan proclaim themselves Young Geniuses. Arin promptly responds with laughter.
• The impressions of Emperor Palpatine saying "Do it".
  • It eventually spirals into Mega Man 2 levels when the Grumps work in rhyming slang.
• A meta moment: Danny manages to completely overlook a wondrous stroke of luck where his dice roll would have brought him onto an Event Space that leads to a free star had he taken the path opposite from the one he choose because he and Arin were too caught up in their chatter. Epic Fail cannot even begin to describe this blunder. At least he got some stars in the end... because the comments section gave him a five-star thrashing!

The Price Is Right Decades

• The Grumps start to realize right of the bat the video game version off The Price Is Right is extra lamesauce since it lacks the charm and excitement of the actual game show because of how phony baloney the game play is.
  • The game play from the actual show doesn't translate well to a video game, including a ridiculous three strike system that ends the game if the NPCs win the One Bid three times (instead of there being six One Bid rounds like in the show proper, suggesting the developers felt their players would get impatient and frustrated waiting, so they implemented the strikes). These strikes don't actually exist in the real One Bid.
  • Worse, the game makes copious use of archive footage from the series that is heavily dated, only making the artificial nature of the game all the more apparent.
• It turns out this game, for posterity's sake, includes the infamous "Professor Price" game that only aired on the game show proper twice because it defeated the purpose of a series meant to deal with pricing games by being a trivia game. That, and it had a really bizarre animatronic professor prop. Somehow, (probably because it's the only place we'll ever see this game again) the video game version is an improvement. Nevertheless, Arin and Danny naturally can't believe this game even existed.
  • The oddity of the music playing unnecessarily when Dan nailed the question.
• A woman immediately winning the game due to gigantism.
  You can use the money for her medical bills!
• Dan flat-out destroying Arin in their rematch. After Arin claims that Danny won the first episode simply due to being Player 2, Danny suggests switching seats for the rematch. By the end of the next episode, Danny has over 100,000 dollars, while Arin has 0.

Press Your Luck

• Without knowing the question, Arin picks 'Bay of Fundy' as the answer due to how funny it sounds. He gets it right.
• The Fridge Logic of abbreviating a three letter word to two.
• An unexpected Call-Back to Endless Ocean!
  What is Westenra?

  • Arin begins conversing with Plum.
• This exchange, following one of Arin's swings:
  Danny: That's a terrible shot.
  Arin: Wow, Dan, guess who's not getting a Christmas present this year?
  Danny: I've never gotten a Christmas present...
• The fact that both Arin and Danny suck horrendously at this. Final Score? Danny wins by +31 to +32. Wow!

• Arin & Dan cover Aerosmith.
• Hey, look, a remix.
• When Dan fails a course, the game lets him know.

• Dan points out a critical flaw playing the game.
  Dan: Do we not get credit for - oh. So there's no credit for going- getting it faster.
  Arin: No, uh-
  Dan: So you don't actually have to think fast in Think Fast.
  (Arin cracks up)
  Dan: Interesting.
• Arin wishes for a certain sound effect in real life.
• Danny doesn't know much Disney trivia, so he picks the equivalent of easy mode. This causes the questions that he's given to be absolutely brain-dead easy.
  Ariel and her friends have fun in the sea. Which of these is best for having fun in the sea?
  Choices: A skateboard, a laptop, a newspaper, A SURFBOARD

• The looks on the characters' faces when it comes time to steal points from the other player or to be stolen from. Donald's especially. His stealing face is him clasping his hands together with an evil grin, and his stolen face is him looking away innocently.
  • Oh God, I pulled a Ross!

    Danny: [immediately after hitting two pedestrians with a limo] Dude, we got good at parking.

  Arin: I swear to Je—eeeeeewgoogoo...
  Danny: *Laughs* "I swear to Jewgoogoo"?
  Arin: Look man...we all have our own gods.
• Near the end of the dodgeball competition Arin eventually learns how to use the character's special shot. Danny proceeds to panic every time he sees it coming. And as if that wasn't enough he still dodges them all.
• In the very last set Danny pulls off yet another come from behind victory in sudden death. Arin is not pleased. Made even funnier by the fact that the only reason sudden death happened in the first place is because Danny landed a clutch shot on Peach to eliminate her in literally the last quarter second of the game.

• In 2016, the Grumps pull this game out again, seemingly forgetting that they already played it once...and the game being shovelware, it seems no surprise they get the exact same questions, often making the exact same jokes. If nothing else, the awkward sameness is funny in its own right.
• After nearly 2 whole episodes of mocking the game for it's amazingly easy questions, they get one that sounds exactly like their own mock questions: "What city does 'San Francisco Rush' take place in?"
• In part 1, Arin keeps winning because of the computer's apparent bias towards player 1; not only does Arin keep getting Captain Obvious questions, but Danny, who always chooses the center square with Kathy Griffin, gets much harder questions that he keeps failing on, leading Danny to get angrier every time and Arin to laugh harder. At the end of the video, Arin finally decides to choose Kathy Griffin for a question and actually gets it right, causing Dan to quietly sign-off with "Next Time on Game Grumps."
• In part 2, Arin hits full Screw This, I'm Outta Here when the question is which movie stars Hugh Jackman as Wolverine and the panelist guesses A Walk to Remember. He hits it again when a panelist is asked for the name of the male lead in Twilight and guesses Edward Scissorhands.

• The game takes place in Mr. Monopoly's home.
  Why don't you play in the me room? Starring me?

  • Until the last two minutes.

  Arin: What? No! I didn't -
  Danny: Oh, shit!
  Arin: No, no, no! I didn't - I can't have - I can't afford it!
  Danny: Sold, for too much money, to the guy with not enough money!
• Part 3 has Arin become a Butt-Monkey.
  • When offered property, he asks for $200, only to be rebuffed for $10.
  • Later, Arin goes to jail. Twice.
• Monopoly man has a dark side.
  Go fuck them! Crush your enemies!

  Arin: *laughs*

• Arin and Danny getting all of the art questions wrong.

Wild Snake

• The Grumps complain the game is nothing more than a fancy and boring Tetris-style clone, at which point its unique rules start to emerge and the gameplay really heats up.
• Arin having joyful reactions when a purple snake power-up appears that can gobble up all the snakes it passes through, while Danny suffers greatly with his side of the board mercilessly filling up with snakes, no power-up relief in sight.

Tetris Attack

• 11 minutes in, Arin makes an off-hand reference to "reticulating splines", which Danny had never heard before. Arin keeps needling him about it for the next four minutes.
• Kevin is asked to put various images up in the video window. Among them are his first wolfjob, and the Google image results for "French Quarter lover boy George Carlin" and "Fluffybottom".

Yoshi's Cookie

• Arin is so nonplussed by the game, he proves it by telling Danny his life story, starting with "At age six, I was born without a face."
  Arin: There's, like, twenty absurdities in that sentence.
• After the grand conclusion (Neither Arin nor Danny wins, but they both realize that cookies are delicious) Arin and Danny are so stupendously tired that they decide to just talk while the game's Attract Mode plays over and over. Danny tells Kevin to end the episode at that point. He doesn't.

  Arin: Hey, everybody! It's Super Fucking Action Girlz!
  Danny: Action Girlz Racing!
  (Beat)
  Arin: Fuck!
• Their reaction to Latisha:
  Arin: It's like when you go to Vegas and you get those, like, slapper tickets, and they're like "Check out my girls!" and you're like "Okay." and you're like "Wow, Cindy is hot." and you come over and she's like "Hey, what's up? 50 BUCKS FOR A BLOWJOB."
• The absolutely godawful artwork for the character select screen, especially for Alex, who looks like a man in drag.

• This exchange:
  Danny: You know what helps? I found not pushing the gas... just kind of depressing it slightly-
  Arin: You know I found [helps]? Putting the controller down and having a sandwich or something.
• Danny's horrendous performance has to be seen to be believed. Even he describes it as "legendarily disgraceful". How bad was it? Even Arin, who finished in a distant 7th place, finished the race while Danny was on lap 2, and Danny didn't reach the end until five and a half minutes later. In fairness, though, the controls are awful.
  Danny: Someone fucking shot me?! The race is over! I'm the only one still racing!
  • The absolutely disgraceful-funny part? The game requires you to finish the race even if you're last!
  • Arin describes Danny's performance as being ideal for Wikipedia's "disaster" page. Cue several fans trying to add the video to the page.
  • By the end of the game, Arin has played for a total of 7:46, and Danny has played for 13:16.
• 360 NO-SCOPE!
• Following their race, the game offers up a second race. Before the video ends, Arin enthusiastically calls out "Next time on Game Grumps!" despite Danny's protests.

Ice Hockey

• A great deal of enjoyment through the two parts of this game can be taken just from the sheer amount of fun Arin and Danny have playing it.

  Danny: First of all, it's the rink.
  Arin: You're a reaper on the rink!

• The Oh, Crap! reaction of the Grumps when they get to sudden death and realize there are no goalies.

• Arin uses the save state to go to before Dan scores his 6th goal. Dan re-scores the goal 20 seconds later.
  Dan: Well, I had to re-establish the timeline. (both laugh) The timeline's been protected.
• Arin scores his first goal about a minute before the end of the match and says "That rules!" They then make a bit where he trash talks despite being down 6-1.

• With Dan doing so well, they make a bit where Dan has been practicing daily in 2023 in anticipation of Arin asking to play the game and acting surprised when Arin asks to play the game.
• After Arin finds out he controls the other guys when he's not controlling the flashing character, Dan comments that he's going to do better now. Shortly after, with the score 6-0 at the end of the 2nd period, Dan says "See, this is closer!" Arin then proceeds to lose 9-0.
• After winning big both times, Dan decides to handicap himself by playing 4 skinny guys and remarks this will be difficult. He scores his first goal 5 seconds into the round.
• Because Dan now can barely play defense, but his guys are all super fast, it ends up being a shootout with Dan winning 9-8.

  Danny: Does this do absolutely everything for you?
• At the beginning of part 10, Dan's turn begins with him getting the spark ability, which he possibly-unintentionally triggers as he's rolling to a stop... right into Arin, causing Arin to roll off of the course.
• In part 13, Arin sets up what seems like a really impressive shot to win the hole... but actually leads to him just barely bouncing over the hole, hitting an acceleration pad, and getting launched over the edge of the board.
  • Afterwards, he sets up a nearly identical perfect shot...which proceeds to fail horribly because Dan was just close enough to the hole to impede Arin.
• The very next course has Arin's first shot firing all the way across the board, missing every enemy and star, only to be thrown offboard by a vent after...
  Danny: Dude, can you, just as a personal favor to me launch yourself right off the side-
  Arin: Of course!
  Danny: -with a huge arc?
  Arin: Why would I not do that!?

Who Wants to be a Millionaire?

• Arin's exaggerated Regis Philbin impersonation.
• Arin flips out when Danny teases him for thinking pearls are a form of resin.
  Danny: Pearls form in oysters.
  Arin: I DON'T FUCKIN' KNOW, ALRIGHT??
  Danny: I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
  Arin: I thought resin was one thing, I didn't know it was a fucking classification of things.
• At the end of the same episode, they both crack up after Arin signs off with "Until next time, I'm Jon," and Danny responds with "And I'm...Tron."

• All of it, especially in the second Mad Dash where the grumps fought tooth and nail while screaming their lungs out in a very close match. and in the end, Danny Wins.

Grump's Dream Course

• Arin's Kirby dreams of Suzy when he runs out of energy and falls asleep. So does Dan's.
  • In Part 3, they both dream of Suzy.
    Arin: Aww, I'm asleep. At least I'm having pleasant dreams. HEY. WHAT THE FUCK. WHAT THE FUCK, ARE YOU ASTRAL PROJECTING OR WHAT? Sheesh!
    Dan: Suzy, you dream-trollop!
• Part 3 ends with Danny discovering that it's possible to get in the hole without winning the two stars attached to it.
  Danny: Thanks, makers of this game. Really ass-fucked me on that one.
• At the end of part 7, Arin sings along to the game's rendition of Luigi's Ballad in a Russian accent, performing Peach's segment. Dan laments that while Rachel Bloom's performance was good, he would have preferred a Russian man.
• Over two episodes, Arin & Dan reach a course exploiting a game glitch allowing them to play on an invisible surface above nothing. Neither know how to do this, until Dan bumbles into it like Mr. Magoo. Cue Danny amazed at his discovery and Arin going into a mixture of Tranquil Fury and disbelief, especially after trying to logically figure out the level's gimmick, Zero Slope.
• One Running Gag is Arin getting close to getting in the hole, but not close enough. Like so.
• In Part 22, Arin is very sick and was prescribed hydrocodone, a powerful opioid-based cold and pain reliever which Arin calls "basically opium." Dan explains Arin had a Potty Emergency and said A Rare Sentence, even by Arin standards:
  Hey Dan, I just shit myself so bad, I sobered up from the opium!
  • Arin thinks his doctor thinks he's a drug addict, because during a follow up, he said he thought it was wearing off and he would get headaches without it, so his doctor said "Maybe just take Advil today."
• After Arin gives this heartfelt confession loving Dan as a friend, he completes the conversation with, "It's not because I'm on drugs."
• Arin imagines how fans proposing marriage on the show can go horribly wrong.
• Reminiscing on their play through of Sonic Boom, Arin launches into the problem criticizing someone's Sacred Cow much to Dan's amusement.
• Arin sweeping Danny of every star in one move on a board to their hilarious surprise.
• Arin's close to ending a level, when he misses the hole. Followed by activating the Flame powerup propelling him across the course, leading to a chorus of "Uh-Ohs!"
• Arin's jokes make Dan laugh twice.
• In part 19, Arin miscalculates the amount of stars needed to win, resulting in the Ninja Brian course ending in a draw.
  Danny: Arin! You're silly at math!
  • And it happens again at the end of part 40 when they finish Burgie EX, with Arin failing to do the math before sinking the hole, as Danny had gotten most of the stars in the stage. Danny promptly lampshades that Arin hasn't won once, just Danny winning and draws, much to Arin's annoyance.
• In Episode 53 Arin asks Dan if he would trade places with Larry the Cable Guy and then talk about his wealth. After a bit, Arin launches into an impression of him and advocating you to "Eat", "Consume" or "Worship" Prilosec. "Buy! Sell! It's a bear market on Prilosec!"
  Arin: I eat ribs everyday and I love it, but let me tell you what, one more thing about what, how much ribs I eat, a lot!
  • Official Game Grumps Animated!
  • When Arin knocks himself out, leaving Dan free to win with eight stars:
    Arin: (in Larry the Cable Guy's voice) I'm Larry the Cable Guy! Fuck you, Dan! Fuck you!
    Dan: How many different characters are gonna say "fuck you" to me today? I had Pee Wee Herman last episode...
    Arin: (still doing the voice) Your victory is giving me heartburn! That's why I use Prilosec! 'Cause it gives me less heartburn, but I still have it.
• All of Episode 55. Arin begins doing an impression of Barack Obama, uttering phrases like "I'm gonna pre!" in that voice, resulting in both Grumps utterly losing it and joking about Obama being a Game Grumps viewer for the entire episode.
  • Followed up in the next episode by speculating that he's specifically the type of fan who also heavily criticizes everything they do. ("He doesn't even know how to pick up stuff in Wind Waker. It's right on the screen!")

Tennis

• Arin's incessant failures in Episode 2 culminates in this gem
  Arin: I'm a neural net processor. A learning computer. [misses shot] SHIT!

100ft Robot Golf

• Episode 4 ends suddenly when Brent signs in on Arin's PS account to play games from his apartment. The Grumps quickly tear into him in episode five after calling him, especially when Brent tries to justify himself by asking "why are you recording on a Saturday?"
  Arin: Why are you using my account?!
  Danny: Like that's his fucking excuse? "Why are you recording on a Saturday?" Because we're filming a fucking YouTube Red show five days a week, you know that because you negotiated our contracts!

Puyo Puyo Tetris

• Episode 3: As the Grumps play round 2 of Swap mode, Arin sets up a large combo on Puyo Puyo. Just as he's about to launch it, some Nuisance Puyo fall in the wrong spot, preventing him from starting the combo. Arin spends most of the rest of the round cursing at Danny (To the latter's hilarity), and frantically trying to clear out the Nuisance Puyo, while neglecting the Tetris side of the game which could have allowed him to win the round (somehow overlooking no less than three different opportunities to score a Tetris). When Arin finally does manage to launch his combo, Danny has such a huge lead in Tetris that he gets a Tetris and almost immediately wins, rendering the Puyo Puyo combo moot.
• Prior to the above, Arin suddenly realizing the meaning of the phrase "drop it like it's hot".
  Arin: I'm 'bout to drop it. Drop it like it's hot.
  Dan: Please don't.
  Arin: (Beat) I just got it!
  Dan: What do you mean?
  Arin: "Drop it like it's hot"!
  Dan: Are you fucking serious.
  Arin: Because-the temperature is-
  Dan: Makes it uncomfortable to hold, yes Arin.
  Arin: So drop it! Because it's hot!
  Dan: Oh, my god.
  Arin: Wow. Am-am I the stupidest man alive?

Super Bomberman R

• In Episode 4, Danny claims to have "got skills", and says, "Look how good I'm getting!" After Arin loses a round, Danny reveals that he was not actually playing that round. He secretly set his character become CPU-controlled, and even sneakily recorded a video during the match without Arin noticing, just to show that he's not really playing. Arin is dumbfounded.

• Arin descends beyond general annoyance into absurd consternation at Dan's continued winning streak, culminating in:
  Arin: I can't lose... I'M THE VIDEO GAME BOY! I'M THE ONE WHO WINS!
  Danny: I'm the one who wins... that's like the ultimate Kid Thing to say.
  Both: *hysterical laughter*
  Danny: *kid voice* It's my house, it's my Nintendo, I'm the one who wins!
  • Dan proceeds to repeatedly bring the quote up in future videos whenever Arin is confounded at simple game mechanics.
  • Arin discovers a game mechanic.
    Arin: Oh shit. This is so helpful.
    Danny: What?

    Danny: You didn't know you could aim the guns?
    Arin: NO! I had no idea!
    Danny: Wow, Arin.
    Arin: What do you mean, "Oh wow, Arin"?
    Danny: Well, guns are for aiming.
  • Danny glitches through a wall. Then fires a grenade launcher and dies.

Dragon Ball Fighterz

• "Wait wait wait, don't do anything."...[sucker punch]
• The final fight is reduced to Arin and Dan attacking only by tapping the light attack button in intervals, without triggering any combos, resulting in what looks like a mundane slap fight.

Brief Karate Foolish

• In the final match, Dan accidentally takes control of both combatants, who are both the same character. Whenever Dan has them "dodge", it looks like they are peacefully, yet awkwardly, dancing in unison.

Mario Party 7

• Arin decided to set Waluigi on a hard difficulty. The reason he did it? "Because its funny.".
• Toad was set on an easy difficulty, so it's pretty hilarious watching him do poorly at minigames, and even screwing over Arin and Dan in 1 vs. 3 mini games, or 2 vs. 2 minigames.
• Every time Toad reaches the peak of Pagoda Peak, he doesn't have enough coins to buy a star. Arin has Toad blame the Koopa Troopa for giving him the easy difficulty as he's brought back to the starting point.
• In Part 6, Bowser gives Toad 40 coins out of pity, leading to a whopping total of 97 coins. He then bets all but one of his coins on an incredibly easy Bonus Mic minigame and fails.
• After winning the game, Waluigi becomes a tyrant.
  Arin!Waluigi: I feel nothing! I'm ones and zeroes!
  Dan!Waluigi: Everything is a liiiiie!

  Arin!Waluigi: As my first rule as king: NO FOOD! [Arin and Dan laugh]

Tricky Towers

• Somebody walks into the room during the recording, and Arin starts to yell at them but realizes that it's the cleaning lady and immediately apologizes.
  Arin: What the f- Hi Letty...
  Letty: Sorry.
  Arin: I respond that way to my co-workers, not to you.

Monopoly Plus

• It is noted from the outset that Monopoly in general brings out the worst in both of them, particularly Dan, who is normally way more laidback and less competative than Arin.
• In Episode 4, the Grumps periodically harmonize on what can only be called "Nihilist Baby Beluga."
  Dan: Everyone you know will someday die!
  Both: Baaaaaby be-luuu-ga...
  Arin: Love is dead and no one that you know will ever love you!
  Both: Baaaaaby be-lu-GAAAAAAH...!

Monopoly Plus REMATCH

• Episode 3, titled "Everything Blows", sees the guys repeatedly landing on the Income Tax and Luxury Tax spaces and just generally suffering such a run of bad luck that even they reference the infamous Wheel of Fortune episode.
• By about Episode 5, Danny's had such insanely bad luck with the Chance and Community Chest spaces that he's more afraid of them than he is of the Tax spaces. They've practically given him PTSD, he lets out a Big "NO!" every single time he lands on them (or thinks he's landed on them), and actually expresses relief when he lands on one of Arin's properties instead. (Though he also admits at the end of one episode that he enjoys playing it up.)
• Episode 7 features Arin unintentionally screwing Dan over by forgetting to buy a house for him, landing on that exact property, and then messing up the trade that was intended to give Dan the money he should have gotten from the house. Afterwards Dan even tells him that the trade didn't work, but Arin doesn't believe him. Dan predicts that the comments are going to call them out hard for this, and he is not wrong. When Arin ends up losing, the comments suggest that it's karma for cheating Dan out of his $60.
• Arin's negotiating skills are pretty funny in and of themselves; he tries to get Dan to agree to ludicrously one-sided deals^note In particular, he keeps trying to get St. Charles Place and the Electric Company, which would give him complete control over that side of the board, then gets indignant and acts like Dan is being unreasonable when he says "no deal". Dan even calls him out for his complaining, saying "You're getting mad at me for doing the right thing?!", to which Arin can only reply "...Yeah, but..." Of course, odds are he's playing this up for comedy, since earlier in the playthrough he tried to get Dan to trade by pointing out that it made the game more interesting for the viewers.
• By the end of the game, Arin has put all his eggs in one basket, mortgaging everything except for the orange monopoly so he can put hotels on them...and Danny keeps rolling EXACTLY what he needs to miss those properties entirely. Arin's sanity eroding a little more each time Danny threads the needle really is something else.

Cyberball

• In Episode 2, Dan intercepts a pass from Arin's team and runs it into the end zone for a touchdown. Arin, frustrated and confused, asks, "Did you point?". Dan gets confused, but Arin just keeps going as Dan goes for a touchdown conversion:
  Arin: Did you point?
  Dan: What do you mean?
  Arin: Did you point?!?
  Dan: What does that mean?!
  Arin: DID YOU POINT?!?!?!?
  (later)
  Dan: What did you mean, "did you point"?
  Arin: (laughing, defeated) Did you point, did you get points.
• Arin spills his Monster during the "did you point" exchange, resulting in another lovely turn of phrase.
  Arin: What do you mean, it's just Monster? It's gonna smell like Monster in here for the rest of the life!
  Dan: (laughing) Your words are amazing right now.

Mario Party 6

• Dan and Arin kick things off with jokes about Mario's pose on the title screen.
  Dan: "This finger's going right up your ass!"
  Arin: He's like, "Five over here, one in the stink!"
  Dan: "Five across the ass, ONE RIGHT UP IT!"
  (Arin starts laughing uncontrollably)
• The last two turns of the game contain several oscillations between extreme good luck and extreme bad luck. Arin mistakenly believes that he could potentially win if he can roll a perfect 20, manages to actually roll one, only for him to get fucked over by a Bob-omb capsule that Waluigi had planted earlier, causing him to land on the space that switches Donkey Kong's and Bowser's positions, turning it into bad luck. This in turn causes Waluigi to luckily roll a high enough number to get to Bowser for Arin, turning it into good luck again, only for Dan to get to DK before Arin as well, turning it into bad luck again. And despite all of this, Arin still manages to have enough good luck to win thanks to the bonus stars.

Wheel of Fortune (Switch)

• Dan seems to avert his Bankrupt streak when he just barely lands on $2500 - but the game registers it as "Bankrupt" anyway.
  Dan: WHEEL OF FORTUNE, WHY DO YOU HATE ME?!
• In one of the earlier Switch episodes, Arin can't figure out a puzzle with the solution, "Pretzels dipped in mustard," while Danny clearly figures out before Arin. Stumped, Arin guesses "Pretzels...dopped?" and Danny bursts into laughter at how off Arin is. Arin defends himself when the answer is revealed by yelling, "Who dips their pretzels in mustard?!"
• In a round with the theme "on the map", Arin, while speculating on the current puzzle, accidentally blurts out the correct answer (Ottawa, Canada). While it happens to be Dan's turn. Dan takes full advantage of this, gaining an absurd lead in a single round without getting skipped or bankrupt, while Arin beats himself up over screwing himself over.
  • Followed shortly by Arin repeating his mistakes and blurting out the answer for the final spin on Dan's turn yet again.
  Arin: "Groovy vibe!" FUCK!
• In Pat Sajak, we're sorry dude - Wheel of Fortune, they finally got a question/challenge where the answer really is George Washington, finally paying off their joke about the president.
  • Later in the same episode, Arin is filling in a toss-up puzzle whose answer is "Spending the day in bed", while Danny realizes the given letters could still spell out "Spanking the boy in bed". This joke throws Arin off mid-guess such that he inputs "Spending the boy in bed", causing Danny to intervene and ask Arin if he really meant to fill that in.
• "Oven-roasted friendship for the WIN!!!":
  • Danny and Arin struggle over a toss-up. Arin's joke-guess is (declared quite confidently) "Oreo-roasted scrotum." Danny deduces it's "Oven-roasted" something, but can't figure out the last word... so he inputs "Oven-roasted scrotum." Ouch. Even better, the next question also has a "Sc-" word, and the guys immediately start guessing phrases with "scrotum."
  • The horrible bankrupt streak returns once again. At one point, not only does Danny first get two in a row, but all three contestants (Danny, Arin, and the AI) each get bankrupt one after the other. During this, Danny remarks that three bankrupts is when he starts throwing stuff. A few minutes later, Danny gets the $1,000 mystery space and flips it over... to reveal a bankrupt. Danny then asks Arin if he could use anything to bash his head in.
• In one episode, upon seeing a lot of blank spaces come up on the board, the guys gasp, in perfect unrehearsed unison, "Oh my god."
• "Staring off strong.":
  • Dan is excited to get back to playing the game. Then as soon as the game begins, he gets a Bankrupt and nonchalantly asks for death, believing the game still hates him.
  • Dan accidentally presses "solve" when there's barely any letters on the board, so he throws out the guess of "Abstemhoolm Limcolln." Big shocker, it's not correct.
  • The cutaway about a luxurious Caribbean vacation includes footage of a chef awkwardly placing a slice of turkey on a plate. The Grumps exaggerate how much the footage contradicts the intended tone by imagining a chef tripping and spilling food everywhere as the narration shills the vacation.
    Arin: "Luxurious dining..."
    Dan: The chef's, like, spilling the gravy.

Super Mario Party (VS. SuperMega)

• The whole series being a massive Curbstomp Battle against Matt and Ryan, capped off by Ryan landing on an Extra Bad Luck Space. This results in the Star Space being moved just as Matt was about to reach it on the same turn, and landing within Arin's immediate reach.
• Special mention goes to part 6, wherein Danny and Arin snag a star from Matt and Ryan. Matt releases a horrible, spine-chilling screech in response, being so loud that the video's volume had be significantly lowered in editing. It must be heard to be believed.

Atari Flashback Classics: Tennis

• Eventually, without fail, their rallying to and fro after the serve will inch the ball into the center, until they can seriously just stand and place and return the ball perfectly^note Pressing the fire button is only for serving. When they team up with AI partners towards the end, the AI uses the same strategy. They eventually make their characters stand off to the side and talk about whatever while the computer continues its stalemate.^{Why this happened}The version they were playing was RealSports Tennis on the Atari 5200, which had a numeric keypad controller; the keypad was used to determine which part of the court you would return the ball towards, and if no location is set, it defaults to region #5 — the middle of the court. When the video starts, the emulated keypad had already vanished from the screen, and they presumably didn't know about it.

MORE Jeopardy

• One of the categories is "Alternative Medicine".
  Danny: I'd love for Brian to be playing and he gets Alternative Medicine and he's like, "What is bullshit?"
• Danny and Arin have pretty even scores at the end of Single Jeopardy, but then when Double Jeopardy comes up it includes not one but two sports categories, allowing Dan to rack up a literally insurmountable lead by the end of the round.

Riddles

• In Parts 3 and 4, The Grumps suspect that their social media manager, Allie, was having some fun in picking riddles for them. Among the "riddles" provided were a Yo Mamma joke, a dead baby joke, and a riddle based on Arin's "video game boy" Catchphrase.

30 (Not So) Great Games

• "Matt and Ryan have been doing some [awesome] edits lately."

Monopoly

• Youtube's new algorithm favours not swearing in the first minute. This is a problem, as Dan and Arin swear a lot, forcing Ben to censor with sound effects or tone distortions, except for one episode, where he slows down the opening so the first swear is just after the one minute point.
• By episode five, Danny, having a considerable lead over Arin, lands on Community Chest and has to pay $40 for each house he just built, $320 in total (which he doesn't have). Arin lets out a Big "YES!".
  Arin: YES! YES! YES! YEEEES! YES! Oh, fuck yeah! Aw, yes! Oh my God, that's not even that bad.
  • Danny then lands on Chance and advances to Go, getting $200.
    Dan: Well that's helpful.
    Arin: It is helpful for you! I hate that!

Mario Party 2

• For the first time ever, the Grumps decide to do a 50 turn game. It doesn't take them long at all to begin regretting it.
• For the first half of the game, the Grumps' main adversy is not the Hard AI Wario, but the Easy AI Donkey Kong. It starts when DK suddenly snaps up a hidden block star, then continues when he puts up a hell of a fight against Danny in the bumber-balls game. Then he does shockingly well in various games, including a literal come from behind victory in the kart racing game. Needless to say, the Grumps are utterly dumbfounded.
• During the archery minigame pitting the Grumps and Wario and DK, Wario suddenly begins actively sabotaging the Grumps by blocking their paths, allowing DK to snipe them.
• Despite a rather strong start in the first few turns, Danny quickly spirals into a streak of absolutely horrible luck, constantly losing minigames and losing his coins to the board's various hazards, and rolling sub-10 on two Golden Mushrooms, which even Arin is astonished by. It comes to a head after Danny loses the second tank game, during which he howls in rage and nearly destroys his controller.
• By turn 30, Danny is practically begging for death or at least for the game to end.
• They revisit the game several years later, trying a new "mode": They have to escort a CPU character that is set to "easy" and have them win. Arin as Peach escorts Donkey Kong, while Dan as Yoshi escorts Luigi. Hilarity ensues. In Episode 1:
  • In a "Mallet-Go-Round" mini-game where they have to not hit Bowser's platform with a hammer, Luigi immediately hits Bowser's platform...
    Dan: Great work, Luigi.
    Arin: Are you fuckin' serious? What a dumbass!
    Dan: Outstanding. Phenomenal.
  • Shockingly, during a "Bombs Away" mini-game, Arin and Dan are the first knocked out, so they have to cheer from the sidelines. Eventually, Luigi wins.
  • Luigi in a "Crane Game" mini-game successfully gets both Peach and Donkey Kong, but tries to get the farthest extra time bonus from him and fails while Dan pleads to take him away.
    Dan: You dumb bastard!
  • In a "Toad in the Box" mini-game, they again have to root from the sidelines while Luigi and Donkey Kong fail repeatedly. Donkey Kong eventually wins.
    Dan: You stupid bastard. Fuckin' monkey piece of shit! (Arin laughs wildly)
  • In a free-for-all "Crazy Cutters" mini-game, they have to trace a Chain Chomp outline as best as they can. Dan throws his game by doing as bad a job as possible while saying "oops", while Arin draws a penis on the Chain Chomp.
  • In another "Mallet-Go-Round" mini-game, Arin says Donkey Kong isn't going to be stupid and fail at the first try like Luigi. Donkey Kong waits... And does nothing the whole time until the time runs out. Arin and Dan laugh uproariously about how bad that was.
    Arin: What a fucking moron!
• In Episode 2:
  • Arin wants to win a "Cake Factory" mini-game, but his partner is Dan, who wants to lose. Arin soon finds out he can't win without Dan's help.
    Arin: Well, to be honest with you, I kinda want to win. Because DK is way ahead and Luigi has no coins.
    Dan: Oh!
    Arin: So it kind of behooves me to win...
    Dan: Well, good luck with all that! Because Yoshi's going on break!
  • Arin forgets he wants Donkey Kong to win and screws himself over in "Honeycomb Havoc", so that he wins instead of his escort. Dan is gracious enough to try to pin it on Donkey Kong.
  • Arin gets exasperated that Donkey Kong just keeps looping around the same quadrant.
  • Dan wants to steal one of Donkey Kong's stars and Arin points out that Dan would be winning, then.
    Dan: ...Better me than Donkey... Cunt. (Dan apologizes, while Arin laughs like crazy)
  • Luigi gets in another "Mallet-Go-Round" mini-game... And immediately hits Bowser again.
• From Episode 3:
  • Arin laments that Donkey Kong just keeps circling the same quadrant and refusing to leave. He later says that DK's continuing circling wouldn't normally be noticed in a normal play-through, but that this makes it much more exasperating.
  • Luigi steals Dan's Boo Bell, which would be a bad thing, normally, but he then promptly uses it to steal a star from Donkey Kong!
    Dan: YES!!!
    Arin: Oh my god!
    Dan: He's so smart!
    Arin: Holy shit!
    • On the same turn, Luigi then promptly lands on a "Chance Time" game. ...And hands the star to Yoshi...
      Dan: NOOOOOO!!! (Arin howls with laughter)
      Dan: You stupid bastard!
  • After having won a couple items on the "Mallet-Go-Round" mini-game, Luigi promptly loses right away by hitting Bowser. Twice.
  • Arin and Dan both lament that they're in the lead after Luigi and Donkey Kong lost all their stars.
    Dan: I can't believe I'm in first right now. Like comfortably in first.
    Arin: It's so bad! They had stars!
    Dan: Putting them on "easy" is just... A nightmare.
  • Dan also screws himself over by having himself win over Luigi in "Honeycomb Havoc".
  • Arin calls DK "Donkey Cuck"
  • During the "Archer-rival" mini-game, Dan successfully blocks in everyone so that Luigi wins a game. DK helps by dodging back in front of Luigi's arrow, much to Arin's annoyance.
    Arin: Just runnin' in circles, like he does in the board!

Sonic Shuffle

• The Grumps are using an emulator to play the game and, as a result, spend the entire game unable to see their cards because a player's cards were shown on their VMU's. Naturally, hilarity ensues.
• At the start of the game, Arin sets Knuckles' CPU to "Hard" difficulty which ends up causing the Grumps much misery as he easily dominates almost every game and is in first place for the entire time.
• Arin: "I am starting to regret giving the 4 penis-ed man the hard difficulty."
• Part 2 brings us Manic Maze, a minigame that involves one player pushing the other three into the middle of the board. There are some problems:
  • The framing device is set in a toy store and Sonic (Arin) pulls out the maze game. The Grumps then joke that Sonic tells the others to get in, only to discover that that is exactly what the set-up is.
  • Come the game proper, Arin just starts rotating the board so that all of the players are trapped under the ball. This goes on for the games entire length, only broken up by Knuckles escaping.
  • And it is then, with about 5 seconds left in the game, that Arin realises that he was suppose to be pushing the others into the hole in the middle not keep them out, leading to Danny and the CPU's winning by because Arin didn't bother to read.
  • The game returns in part 5 and the discovery is accompanied by Dan letting a Big "NO!" in response.
• THE CARBUNCLE ATE ITSELF!
• Starting to get very fed up halfway through part 3 Arin says "I don't want to do this," and the game decides to listen to him.
• Dan, about the minigames: "What they lack in quantity they also make up for in lack of quality."
• Part 5 is really just Danny finally succumbing to the despair that is Sonic Shuffle.
• "Sonic Shuffle. The only thing worse than losing is playing!"

Game of Life

• Arin keeps landing on "You buy an aquarium" spaces, with Danny admonishing him for wasting his money on very unimpressive aquariums.
• Arin wins a "beautiful forehead" contest and has to explain what makes his forehead so beautiful. He claims it's because he never goes outside, so his forehead is like "a porcelain doll."
• At the end of the game, when the game tallies up everybody's score, Danny has to trade in his kids in exchange for money in his bank. He treats this like selling his kids on the black market, complete with a parody of the "Kars 4 Kidz" jingle about selling children.
  "1-877-Kidz-4-Kash..."

Geoguessr

• Dan and Arin play a game where the objective is to look at a Google Maps snapshot and guess where it was taken. Arin fails the first question, where the snapshot in question was taken Los Angeles, which as Danny points out, is extremely close to where the Grumps are filming. Hence the episode title, "We don't even know where the HECK we are!!"
• In "Addictive RELIGION":
  • Danny notices an older man in one of the Google Maps pictures and remarks, "This guy had no intention of being on Game Grumps." Arin counterpoints that maybe he's their biggest fan.
  • The Grumps notice a sign on a church promoting egg hunts for Easter and something called... "METH CHURCH"^explanationpresumably short for "Methodist Church".
    Arin: What's in those eggs?!
    Danny: Wow, I can't stop eating them! Very addictive!
    Arin: I feel like my teeth are going to fall out!
• Arin and Dan take turns guessing the location. Cue Dan's exasperation that Arin's rounds tend to put him in urban or at least suburban areas that allow for some deduction, while his own turns keep placing him in secluded fields or countryside areas that offer very little in the way of hints.

Trivial Pursuit Live

• Arin threatens to "pee in [Danny's] shorts" after losing a question.
  Danny: Don't.
  Arin: Why not?
  Danny: First of all... cause I'm not wearing shorts.
• Danny refers to the logo for the Final Round (the six-wedged circle on fire) as "the most exciting-looking anus I've ever seen!"
  Arin: And I've seen a lot!
  Danny: It's rainbow and on fire!
  Arin: My two favorite things about anuses.
• Due to a glitch in the game, Arin is awarded the win at least three times despite Danny having more wedges and more points. Danny goes insane about it every time, spouting gems like:
  "This shit's anything but trivial. I'm gonna pursue some fucking answers."
  "Why even have a points system?!"
  "Switchagories! You're about to die a switcha-gory death."
• Arin assumes that Kofi Annan is a historical criminal. Danny informs him that Annan was the Secretary General of the United Nations, "the least criminal person in the world."
  Danny: "Let's all work together, world!" "FUCKING CRIMINAL!"
• When a question brings up Bill Nighy, Dan asks if he's a "science guy-hy."

Even More Jeopardy

• Arin's excellent comedic timing strikes again. One of the categories is "Virginia", and when Dan chooses the first question from this category, Arin remarks, "That's my favorite state"...and then the question pops up:
  Slavery was introduced into what would become the U.S. in this Virginia settlement in 1619
  Dan: Uh oh. *They both start laughing*
  Arin: Ummm! It's my favorite state now! Not then!
  Dan: *Laughs even harder* Oh my god. (...) What awful timing.
• In the "TV Characters" category, a question asks which show a character is from, and Arin is frustrated that he doesn't know the answer.
  Dan: You don't know this? It's Magnum P. Iiiiii- (as they see that this is not one of the choices) -oh no. (Both burst into laughter)
  • Though, thankfully for Dan, he does still guess the correct answer (Blue Bloods).
• This non-sequitur:
  Arin: I really wanna eat Kool-Aid powder.
  Dan: ...Hang in there, Arin. Hold that thought.
• For the Final Jeopardy question, Arin is winning, and he and Dan both wager all of their money. The question turns out to be about Christmas movies, and Dan gets it right while Arin gets it wrong, giving Dan the win.
  Arin: I'm gonna jump off a cliff now.
  Dan: (In a silly voice) I'm Jewish. (normally) But I love old movies!
  (The screen shows the final scores: Dan has $38k, Arin has $0, and the A.I., Charles, has -$6,800)
  Arin: Well...at least I did better than Charles!
• In the next game, Arin gets the first Daily Double...when he has negative money to bet.^note This is definitely unlucky, but not uncommon in Jeopardy, and the rules are fairly straightforward: you can always wager up to the amount of the highest valued clue on the current board ($1000 for Single Jeopardy and $2000 for Double Jeopardy) And accidentally bets only $106, so when he gets it right, he's still in the negatives. He ends the first round still in the negatives, and tries to claim he doesn't care about winning. Dan is, of course, unconvinced.
• One of the second-round questions about movie sequels includes one with Jesse Eisenberg in it. Arin is frustrated when Dan is faster and gets the question, shouting, "That's Jesse Eisenberg, you FUCK!"
  • He then beats Dan to a question and gets it right...the first/easiest one in the category. He disproportionately celebrates it:
    Arin: Yessss! Yuss! I'm so fucking awesome! *They both crack up*
    Dan: I've never seen anyone celebrate the, like, first question of a column so seriously.
  • Dan sweeps the "Name the Cheese's Country" category, to Arin's mounting irritation, since he knew most of the answers as well but could never buzz in fast enough. He quickly moves into "frustrated death threats" mode:
    Arin: (After Dan gets the third one) Fuck! You son of a bitch! Y'know, I could stab you.
    (...) (After Dan gets the fourth one) Just give it to me, you fucking-! I'm gonna sss-I'm gonna rip your head off and I'm gonna throw it into the street.
    Dan: (Laughing hysterically) That was made so much better by seeing you with your hand gestures.
  • After the AI gets an answer right, it picks the next question from a completely different category about holiday celebrations. It ends up being about a Jewish tradition.
    Arin: Aw fuck.
  • And later, after several more instances of Dan being quicker on the draw:
    Arin: I wish I could take that Switch outta the dock and shit right all over it. (Dan laughs) Just fill it with liquid shit.
• At the end, when Dan has won for the second time, Arin once again flirts with him and asks for a kiss. Dan, however, is too busy celebrating the fact that the number of times he buzzed in and his number of correct answers is the same.

Chess Ultra

• "Everything this anus touches is your kingdom."
• Arin starts having a Heroic BSoD while trying to figure out his move, when no pieces have been lost yet.
  Dan: This happens every time we've played chess. By turn nine you freak out and everything goes to shit because you lose your composure.
• Dan mentions The Art of War (Sun Tzu).
  Dan: I'm pretty sure Shang Tsung...
  Arin: Shang Tsung?!
  Dan: Uh, yeah. The guy from Mortal Kombat, right? Didn't he write The Art of War?
• Arin gets distracted and doesn't notice Dan's move.
  The pawn shall die! [Dan captures Arin's knight with his bishop] What just happened?!
• Dan checkmates Arin by accident.
• Arin makes the perfect quote:
  Arin: I'm gonna do something real stupid. [Moves pawn one space forward] And we'll see how it'll play out in the end...
  Dan: Checkmate.
  Arin: SHIT! (Cue Dan and Allie losing it.)
  • Even better is that Arin got checkmated on move 7, having not lost a piece before being checkmated.
• Arin's hopeless rant timed to somber music from the game itself after losing to Dan once again at Chess Ultra.
  Dan: You having a mental breakdown soliloquy over this music is unreal.
• Arin delivers a copypasta-worthy speech at the end of "Arin Loses With Confidence":
  Dan: Good game, Arin.
  Arin: No, it wasn't, and you know it. You know it wasn't a good game.
  Dan: Did you have fun, though?
  Arin: Did I have fun? Do I ever have fun? The fuck does fun even mean? I live every day of my life in fear that I'll have to play you again in chess and pretend it was a great time.
  Dan: Arin, how many times have you beaten me at Monopoly and Wheel of Fortune?
  Arin: Those aren't games of skill! They're games of dope!...ness! Dopeyness! They're games of stupid! Chess is a game of smart, and you're always better than me, and I'm gonna fuckin' shove my head onto a spike!
  • Dan attempts to take the episode out on a nice relaxing note.
    Dan: Well, I hope everyone out there had a Merry Christmas and enjoyed a nice relaxing evening at Woodburn Manor. There's a fire in the hearth... a glass of wine or a cup of tea on the table... rose petals by the side of the board...the smell of rich mahogany filling the air... a-
    Arin: I'm gonna lay face down on the radiator.

The Game of Life 2

• The first thing seen in the episode is a warning screen telling Arin he can't use profanity in his name, though we never know what Arin was trying to put as his name. He ends up with the default name "PlumGolem826."
• Arin chooses "video blogger" as his career, leading to much Creator Career Self-Deprecation, such as remarking on how typical it is for a vlogger to go on vacation rather than donate to charity.
• Dan lands on a few spaces that pit him against Arin in a "rock-paper-scissors" match, which is really just a "spin the higher number" game. Dan loses several of these and loses money to Arin, leaving him flabbergasted that he could be in so much debt because of a rock-paper-scissors game.
• Dan takes the family path while Arin focuses on his career, so Arin decides he'll be the crazy drunk Honorary Uncle for Dan's family.
  Dan: Bloated Uncle Arin's here!
  Arin: Hey guys, can I play your retro game collection?
• Dan is disappointed that getting married didn't earn him any points, leading to a cynical realization that life is all about wealth and not the relationships you make.
  Arin: What, were you gonna sell your wife?
• In Part 2, Arin goes on a tangent about how being a homeless beggar can itself be a job, since you have to work hard at manipulating others to give you money. Dan responds, "So you're an evangelist."

Party Girls

• You know a game featuring scantily clad women doing supposedly sexy minigames is gonna be good from this publisher.
  Dan: "Published by Digital Bros."
  (Arin loses it)
• As "Roulette Run & Jump" starts, Arin has a moment.
  Arin: Oh man, I can't wait to fart.
  Dan: Arin, stop! I can't leave right now! So uncool, man. Don't you have any shame?
  • "If you wanted to fart, I would let you." "You would LET me?"
• In one game, the girls have to rub a thermometer to get it heated to a certain level. Dan notices something suggestive about it.
  Dan: This reminds me of something, but I can't think of what. —Look at her cradling the fake balls!

Mario Party Superstars

• In the first episode, Dan and Arin are doing an "escort mode" like in their Mario Party 2 episodes a couple months before. Arin attempts to explain it and Dan says it's "A prostitute." Arin comments about how progressive it is for Nintendo to add that feature and then:
  Dan: A Toad of the evening. (Arin laughs)
  Arin!Toad prostitute: Hello! (both laugh)
• Like usual, Arin is Peach and Dan is Yoshi, while Arin escorts Daisy and Dan escorts Rosalina. While Dan chooses:
  Dan: Lets go... Uh, Rosalina, please.
  Rosalina: Let's go! (both laugh and freak out about the coincidence)
• Arin-as-Toad comments that it's a "reverse sausage-fest" with Rosalina, Daisy, Peach and Yoshi as the contestants and they have Yoshi wonder what gender he (?) is.
• The first mini-game has Dan trying to dodge the other three girls. Dan wants Rosalina to win, and stays there and says "Crush me, you queens!" as the three princesses roll towards him.
  Arin: Oh my God, this is like my dream.
  Dan: I was gonna say: "This works for me!"
• With a mini-game of Yoshi, Peach and Daisy trying to score 10 goals, Dan deliberately does nothing and causes them to lose and let Rosalina win. Dan jokes that Peach and Daisy side-eye Yoshi.
  Arin!Peach: Great job everyone. We all pulled our weight.
• Daisy chooses 1 as her custom dice block for some reason and lands one space short of the star. The spot is an event space and moves the star to the opposite side of the board. This is despite them setting the CPUs to "hard", rather than "easy" as they did before.
  Arin: Daisy, you stupid motherfucker!
• They have to follow the outline of a blooper for a mini-game. Arin tries to draw a penis on it, but it just looks like a tentacle, while Dan just draws a big penis in the middle of the blooper.
• In episode 2, Arin naturally wants to refuse a star, after Daisy gets one, but he accidentally accepts it when Toadette asks if he's sure. Dan compares it to being up-sold by Mario Party.
• Just before Rosalina is going to get a star, Daisy lands on an event space, causing the star to move and Big "NO!" from Dan. He then finds he needs to land either 2 or 8 spaces away to change it back. Arin notes that he could curse her and she wouldn't reach it, but doesn't do it. Dan rolls a 2.
• During a Sewer Skewer minigame, Dan knocks out Rosalina accidentally and also Peach. He then waits and points out Daisy and Yoshi staring at each other with Yoshi holding his hand above the button, which causes them to laugh about their staring contest.
• Dan steals a star from Daisy and says he'll find a way to blow it. Later, due to him having the most stars, Rosalina steals a star from him, causing him to say "I'm feeding my queen!" and point out it was a long way of taking a star from Daisy and giving it to Rosalina.
• In episode 3, Arin is close to the star and uses a warp block to try and bring Daisy closer to the star, saying he'll "Roll the dice." It brings Rosalina closer to the star.
  • On the same turn, Arin then successfully lands on a Chance Time and transfers both of Rosalina's stars to Daisy, who gets Daisy's 0 stars.
  • After the "Snow Whirled" mini-game, Arin comments that it's weird the goombas are their only fans.
  Dan: I thought you said the goombas had an Onlyfans. It's like "I sure hope not."
  Ike: Then it would be called a "goon-ba". (Arin and Dan laugh)
  Dan: Ah, Ike! Like the one thing you've ever said during an episode.
• Arin then shoots himself in the foot by accidentally buying a third star. He had accidentally bought a star before when not paying attention.
• On the final turn, Arin laments his choices and Dan buys his own third star, wanting to tank the game. In the bonus star segment, Arin gets 2 more stars and Daisy 1 more. Meaning that had Arin not bought 2 stars, Daisy would have won. Yes, Arin failed at losing.

Monopoly (2023)

• One of the A.I.s, Fabricio, fails at buying any properties until 7 minutes into the finale.
  Dan: Good luck getting a monopoly, dipshit!
• They start joking that Fabricio was hoarding money only to lose it to Leo, the other AI.
• Dan passed go, and has Arin land on his hotel'd Mediterranean Avenue. Next turn, he rolls doubles and immediately landed on Income Tax. His next roll had him give 50 dollars to each player with a "Chance" card, so he lost $350 of the $450 he just earned.
• Fabricio tries to make a trade of $83 for the $140 St. Charles Place with Arin so that they can have 2 of the "Pink" properties . Arin, fooling around, offers to swap St. Charles Place and States Avenue, the "Pink" property that Fabricio has with Fabricio paying him extra. Fabricio makes a counter offer to swap properties and give Arin $51. Arin unsurprisingly takes it, since he was unlikely to get a monopoly with that color, with both mocking Fabricio's stupidity.
