Funny / Game Grumps Arin And Danny One Offs

Go To

    open/close all folders 

    Karate Kid 
  • Danny blurting out the name of every minigame that occurs, like a kid with ADHD.
  • Danny gets hit by a bird and a stick and perfectly falls through two holes into the water.
    Arin: Oh my god! You were DESTINED for that hole, dude! That fall was fuckin' prophetic!

    Mickey Mousecapade 
  • THE ENTIRE VIDEO. You know you have an entire video of funny when even Barry is putting "OHMYGODSTOPICANTBREATHE" in the description.
    Dan: Ohh, my lungs are gonna collapse!
    • To be more specific, they spend an entire 11 minutes (a full length episode) doing impressions of a bad Angry Video Game Nerd copycat. And it is hilarious.
    • Plus there's Danny offhandedly saying that, by chance, this will be the first Game Grumps episode his mom sees. And then he starts imagining her praise.
      "Cool living you're making Dan. I'm really glad I sent you through college."
  • Arin saying "bitch" in the most phlegmatic way possible.
    • Just how he pretends it's the one curse word he's clearly less comfortable with and hesitates before spitting it out is the icing on the cake.
    • Except for the third time he says it, which is entirely in his normal voice, and just to refer to Minnie Mouse as Mickey's bitch.

    Skate or Die 2: The Search for Double Trouble 
  • Arin and Danny's reaction to finally being able to do a tricknote  over the median. Followed quickly by a montage of the trick over and over to the theme song of the game.
    • Earlier, their reactions to seeing their character's violent deaths, which include being split vertically down the middle of the median and getting crushed head-first into the median.
    • Arin dubs the final trick the "Beyonce Knowles No Bounds."
  • The reaction to Icepick calling the main character a "poseur".
    Dan!Icepick: Where'd you learn to ride?! France, where I learned to spell?!
  • One of the female characters looks almost identical to Ariel from The Little Mermaid.
  • Dan audibly cringing at the so-nineties-it-hurts introduction.
    Dan!Narrator: Perfect weather for the mayor's wife to take her poodle Fifi for a nice walk— (breaks character) This is ridiculous.

    Totally Rad 
  • The voices for Jake and Allison. Allison sounds like a hyperexaggerated Valley Girl where Jake's surfer voice sounds like he's retching with every consonant. At one point, Arin almost retches for real trying to make that voice!
  • Their reaction to the first boss.
  • Dan-Jake.

    Chester Cheetah: Too Cool to Fool 
  • That tiny little glitch issue.
    • "Do something, Barry!" "BUY CHEETOS"
    • Though it does give Arin and Danny time to ruminate on the postapocalyptic dystopia in which Chester Cheetah apparently lives.
  • The sunglasses.
    Danny: Are [those springs] wearing sunglasses?
    Arin: Of course. Everything in this game is wearing sunglasses, you fucking idiot. How did you not notice that?
    Danny: I just figured-oh Jesus, you're right. The fish-
    Arin: The air is wearing sunglasses.
  • Arin's epiphany.
    Arin: This is it. This is the secret to the game.
    Danny: This is the end.
    Arin: I'm the shadow of the guitar.
    [Barry zooms in on the guitar powerup with Chester Cheetah's disembodied shadow underneath it]

    Home Alone 
  • Danny's declaration of "oh, this game is terrible!" less than five seconds after the game starts.
  • Arin finds a sack of cash in the toilet.
    Danny: Oh, there's money in the deuce machine!
  • The boys lose it at the lost life screen, which features a film screengrab of Kevin, with a sound clip of the famous Culkin scream, and big zoomed out text saying OH NO!, getting Arin to wonder if it's a YTMND.
    Dan: OH MY GOD.

    Dennis the Menace 
  • Arin and Danny attempt to rap over the game's title theme:
    Danny: Dennis! The Menace! Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah! Go, don't stop—
    Arin: Suck a dick! Get everybody in—
    Danny: Wha—
    [both stammer]
    Arin: I'm sorry.
    Danny: I guess we'll just start the game.
    Arin: Yeah, that was probably not the best.
    Danny: A game about a small boy... not appropriate.
  • The scary-ass giant Mr. Wilson that occasionally pops up out of absolutely nowhere to grab them and toss them out, which elicits genuine fear from Arin and Danny. It gets even better when Arin asks Danny if he wants to do a rap about him. It leaves Arin positively HOWLING with laughter afterwards. Made even funnier due to some hilarious sprite animation from Barry.
    Danny: Give me a beat. *Arin starts beatboxing* My name is Mr. Wilson and I'm here to say / I'm gonna smack your ass in a major way / What are you doing in my basement? Get outta here!
    (Beat)
    Danny: GET OUTTA HERE!!! *Both Arin and Danny begin to absolutely crack up* There you go, Barry. There's some fucking gold.
    *They continue to crack up*
    Danny: Ohhhh no...it's broken us. The game has broken us.
    • And Arin's explanation of why he finds the "GET OUTTA HERE" portion of the rap so funny.
      Arin: Because like... *laughs* *microphone fumbling* Because I just imagined Mr. Wilson like, actually rapping, and then he's just interrupted by Dennis, and he's just like "GET OUTTA HERE"...and it's like actually getting on his nerves, and he's like "GET OUTTA HERE!"
  • Other such gold including:
    "HELLO, MRS THE MENACE? DENNIS CAME OVER TO MY HOUSE AND FELL DOWN THE STAIRS AGAIN! AGAIN! HE'S SO CLUMSY!"
    "YOU SHOULD PROBABLY PUT HIM IN BALLET! THAT WOULD EMBARRASS- I MEAN... MAKE HIM BETTER AT BALANCING!"
    "DENNIS! I'M'NA GIVE YA FIVE ACROSS THE ASS!"
    "BAHP!!!"
    "YOU'RE GETTIN' SEVEN ACROSS THE ASS! ...DON'T ASK, I HAD THREE OF MY FINGERS ON MY RIGHT HAND BLOWN OFF IN KOREA!"
  • The entire 'butt-ball' sequence, but notably when they use it as an excuse to turn Mr. Wilson into a Memetic Molester.
    Danny: (as Mr. Wilson) Dennis, I'm sorry I yelled at you just there. What we're gonna do now, is I'm gonna learn ya how to play buttball...seeing as you're in my basement.
    Arin: Step one: never tell your parents.
    Danny: Step two: NEVER TELL YOUR PARENTS!!!
  • Dennis "twerking".
    Danny: *singing* Ay, girl, you know that I work it, girl! Ay, girl, you know that I work it work it! Dennis the Menace, D-D-D-Dennis the Menace, D-D-D-Dennis the Menace, he's only ten! ... He should not be twerking!
  • Arin and Danny losing it.
    Danny: [in a staccato tone] Arin, I just tried the GREATEST new Gatorade flavor. IT'S CALLED PAINT!
    Arin: WHAT COLOR, BREEN?!

    Kendo Rage 

    Pinocchio 
  • Ego's impromptu beatboxing session at the end of the video.
  • "When you wish upon a star, you'll play a game that's retaaaaarded...!"
  • "PUT 'ER THERE!"
  • A kid in the first level throws a brick at Pinocchio and then gets attacked by geese.
  • "They should have called this game PiNOOOOcchio!"
  • Danny and Arin's open letter to the producers of the game. Ending with a giant "FUCK YOU."
  • Danny can't find any wood to make the sound Pinocchio presumably makes when he takes a "puppet poop", leading to this exchange:
    Danny: Barry, put in a wood block sound.
    Barry: *wooden "plonk" noise*
    Danny: Thank you.

    Goosebumps Horrorland 
  • The new 'Ghoul Grumps' intro, featuring Arin as Frankenstein's monster and Dan as Dracula.
    Arin: Hey I'm Ghoul.
    Danny: BLEH!
    • Danny sings the final line in an over the top Count voice.
  • During Calamity Canyon, Arin rapidly shakes the Wii Remote to make it more like an actual wooden roller coaster.
  • On the first attempt of Wheel of Misfortune, Arin forgets to jump. The kid simply faceplants onto the springboard, which lamely ejects her into the water below.
    Danny: Nailed it!
  • From the end:
    Danny: Put up a wolfjob, Barry!
    (Image of a doctor with a wolf's head)
    Danny: But a Halloween one.
    (A small Hershey bar is added to the bottom corner)
  • From the opening cutscene of the game.
    Girl: Who is it?
    Arin: SATAN.

    The Addams Family: Pugsley's Scavenger Hunt 
  • Danny and Arin notice the game sounds kind of "lonely" without any music, so they ask Barry to provide various accompaniments, starting with funk, then moving into the Charleston and ending with Scottish pirate metal. Both awesome and hilarious.

    The Amazing Frog? 
  • The entire episode is made even more hilarious when you remember that it is taking place at one in the morning after fourteen straight hours of grumping with both Arin and Danny being exhausted.
  • Danny is playing basketball:
    Danny: (running up to the hoop) WHITE CHOCOLATE! (he throws the ball, completely misses the hoop and falls over)
    Arin: (looking at the camera) You're not very good are you?
  • The finale of the one-off is Arin and Danny having the most inept and hilarious chase sequence ever as they fight over the crown.
    • The "crowner" has to be when Arin (who has the crown) manages to use some exploding barrels to safely catapult himself onto the roof of a nearby building, which Danny, being a newbie to the game hasn't managed to do yet. Arin then starts gloating only to immediately screw it up by falling off the roof of the building mid-gloat which allows Danny to (however briefly) take the crown. Danny does try to end the chase the moment he gets it by yelling "NEXT TIME ON GAME GRUMPS!!!" but it's clear they're having way too much fun to actually stop.
  • The crown falls near a wall at one point, which due to the game's quirks means they repeatedly try to wear the crown only to walk into the wall and drop it.
    • Which is then finished by Arin suddenly getting launched thousands of feet into the air for no apparent reason, unable to do a thing about it.
    • "Oh man look behind you; I'm like the Terminator coming up".
  • Danny: BARRY DO SOMETHING!
    Barry: *makes a bunch of frogs fall onto the screen with the text "RELEASE THE FROGS"*
  • Any time Danny accents an underwhelming jump or fall with a weak grunt. Especially effective after a kamikaze scream.

    Endless Ocean 
  • Arin's "Australian" accent.
    • "OI! THAT'S A SPLENDID NAME THAT IS!"
  • When they meet Kat, a female NPC, they then start to act out the game as if it's a porno, even voicing out motion controls in smooth, totally relaxed voices. The results are hysterical.
    Danny: Let's try licking vagina. Press the A button and shake the controller vigorously.
    Arin: Not vigorous enough. Harder. Harder.
    Danny: Don't be a gentlemen about it. Really fuckin' go wild. (both of them start to crack up)
  • When the grumps go back on the boat, they receive new mail. When they go to check it out, a brand new penguin is seen. Their reactions of surprise and awe must be heard.
    • "Press B to have me step on your face!"
  • The last two minutes of the huge 44 minute extravaganza featuring Danny and Arin doing an interpretive dance to Hayley Westenra's Prayer. Which Hayley herself has seen and commented on!
  • Can we just say that the whole episode was just one extra long CMoF?
  • The Running Gag of calling penguins "Pandas".
  • Danny talking for the penguin.
    I hate jews!
  • Arin referring to a manta ray as a "Flap Flap".
  • A feature of the game allows you to pet the animals in order to learn their names, causing Danny and Arin to joke about fondling wildlife and how unrealistic it is compared to Real Life.
    • It gets to the point where they joke about what would happen if they tried to pet more dangerous fish like barracuda and sharks.
    "You've discovered a humpback whale calf. Punch it to enrage the mother."

    Ninjabread Man 
  • Their reacting to the fact that this game is essentially a reskin of the game they played the day before, Trixie in Toyland. Keep in mind this was completely unplanned.
    • Made even better when Danny realizes that the company that made both is called "Conspiracy Entertainment".
  • The Grumps acting gay for Barry leading to Arin's story of "The D Club". It has be heard to be believed.
    Danny: Have you docked with Barry?
    Arin: No, not with Barry! It was with another man.
    Danny: Really? Like, swordplay?
    Arin: Yeah.
    Danny: So, just like, fuckin', like, knock your junk around together?
    Arin: Yeah, it was funny.
    Danny: Did you really?!
    Arin: Yeah, it was funny.
    Danny: You've touched dicks with another guy?!
    Arin: Yeah, it was funny.
    • Danny is so stunned that he actually has to go out of the room and ask Suzy whether or not Arin is telling the truth. Cue a half minute of silence... and then Danny thundering into the room in complete shock before recounting the conversation complete with Suzy impersonation.
      Danny: *Throws the door open* OH MY GOD! ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS?!
      • It's not complete silence; right before Danny comes back into the room, he can be heard howling with laughter through the closed door.
    • Right after Danny does the Suzy impression, and reveals that she got way too detailed about it, both him and Arin more or less collapse into laughter.
      Danny: She's like- (Suzy Impression) "Yeah, they had this club-" (Pauses) And then she rattled off all the names, and she was like- (Continues) "They had this club where like, they would just like show each other their dicks, not like, they wouldn't be flaccid, they'd get like half-chub, and helicopter their dicks around?" I'm like, SUZY!?!
      (Beat)
      (Arin and Danny burst into raucous laughter)
    • At the end of the video, Arin tells Dan about how he saw a thread on Reddit's front page which asked "What is your weirdest sleepover story". And one of the top comments was a story from about the poster and his friends having sleepovers and showing each other their dicks and which kept escalating until they started sword fighting; which was exactly what Arin's D Club did. But the kicker is that the poster admits that he couldn't tell them that he was secretly gay, leading to Arin and Dan's confused, mortified amusement about whether that was actually one of his old friends!
    Dan: "You should check up on your buddies. Be like, "Did I ever, fucking, cock-tease the shit out of you guys, one time?""

    Hello Kitty Seasons 
  • Danny offering Hayley Westenra the opportunity to sing a song about Kraid fucking Samus. Arin pipes in that it could "re-jump start the career."
  • "WHERE'S MY TREAT?!"
  • Mama Puss.
  • After Hello Kitty makes Jaeij the assistant Mayor, Danny says, "Talk to the Mayor- Press A for corruption!" and Arin cracks up.
    Danny: Next time on Game Grumps, we'll figure out how to do this shit!
    Arin: No, fuck that shit, I'm not wasting someone's episode on this.
    'Danny: Wha- Dude, you're the one who refuses to find out how to play the game!
    Arin: I don't- That's not important! (Danny laughs}
  • BROTHER'S DEAD! Made even funnier by Danny laughing like he's never laughed before.
  • At the end it's revealed that the only reason they included this as part of their Holiday-themed Game Grumps one-offs is because of the word "holiday" in the name, and the game otherwise has nothing to do with Christmas, as they both find out after the fact!

    B.O.B. 
  • When the title character dies, he says "Robo Bogus!". The Grumps then imagine how proud the writer must be of this, to the point where he calls his wife and nonchalantly demands that she have sex with him for his "accomplishment".
  • About halfway through the episode, the game crashes, but the capture continues, prompting Arin and Danny to do a podcast.
    • Soon after it starts, discussion turns to a picture of a Lamb Chop puppet on Arin's computer that Danny is freaked out by.
      • The best thing about this is how, when Danny is about to bring it up, Arin insists that he doesn't and claims it's a private matter. Considering what we've heard from him before, this is kind of ridiculous.
    • Near the end of the podcast, when talking about how professional they are, Arin can't contain his laughter as he feels something coming on... before Danny can stop him, he manages to let loose a fart into the microphone.
    • And then of course, there's the flying ham burger.

    D-Force 
  • Danny's intro line.
    Danny: When a man graduates from the D-Club...he joins the D-Force.
  • "THEY'VE GOT CHEERIOS!"

    The Adventures of Tom Sawyer 
  • Before this episode, Arin played the game to ensure the NES worked. His recalls his WTF-ness in realizing this was one of Dan's favorite games.
  • While Arin struggles with the first level, Dan reveals his playstyle: running like a maniac while frantically tossing stones.
  • Air-topus! Along with their shock at how well drawn the octopus boss is compared to the rest of the game.
  • They forget who sent them the game, so Arin retrieves the name. Walking in front of Dan while he plays, and conversing with him during the search.
  • Arin's OMG to being covered at ink, calling the octopi sassy. "Mmm, now you're blue!"
  • Arin's first time on the raft, and he jumps, drowning into the water. Hilarity ensues.
    Arin:Woo...OMG...Holy Shit!
    *Danny laughs*
    Arin: I didn't know you could do that! You didn't warn me!
    Danny: Uh...dude, I haven't played this game in over twenty years.
    Arin: That's fuckin' fucked up, dude! (Danny laughs) You screwed me.
    • Arin's raft mastery continues by pressing the wrong button, drowning literally THREE SECONDS after restarting his turn on the level.
  • The shock at how a baker's dozen means thirteen. MIND! BLOWN!
  • Barry's OH YEAH! to the crocodile boss. Also, Arin & Dan assuming the boss battle is really the crocodile continually scratching its butt and yawning in relief.
  • Their laughter to the enemies in Stage Three, and their absolute joy to Tom's pelican ride.
  • The fact they are willing to play more past the half hour but are not wanting to subject their audience to the gameplay. Cue the comments BEGGING the Grumps to play more of the game.

    The 3-D Battles of World Runner 
  • The awesome 3-D at the beginning.
  • When the game pauses, the main character sits down for a nap.

    Lizzie McGuire 3: Homecoming Havoc 
  • Arin accidentally skipping over the Excuse Plot.
  • Arin & Danny making Serious Business over every minigame.
  • "You missed the cream pie! That's my favorite part of any porn!"
  • Danny's daily emotions are Oh God NO! & Fuck Yeah!
  • Lizzie's dance moves named after various Jacksons & Godzilla characters.

    The Daring Game for Girls 
  • The incredibly creepy art style.
    Danny: The Daring Game for Chameleons!
  • "Thank you, Anne Frank."
  • The bizarre walk of the avatar, which Arin describes as 'hobbling'.
  • This exchange:
    Danny: (as a character) How do I know I can trust you?
    Arin: Maybe a friendship bracelet could do the trick?! (They both laugh incredulously)
  • "Oh shit! I wasted my money on useless garbage!"
  • Danny claiming Frankenstein is a book about Jews.
  • "Hi, Stilt Girl! ... I'm gonna... go... "
  • Mother Theresa's lesser sister, Smother Theresa.
  • Arin and Danny's shock when they find an actual male in the game.
  • "$4000 for a first aid kit? Thanks, Obama!"
  • Arin: Let's play this condescending sexist piece of garbage!
  • Arin learns from the game.
    I'm coming out of it as a budding young woman!
  • The Grumps get into a minigame.
  • The stop-signs just show an outstretched human palm instead of words.
    Arin: (In a coy, effeminate voice trying to emulate the spirit of the sign) Stop...

    Build-A-Bear Workshop 
  • The sheer creepiness of all the stuffed animals in the game. They look like regular stuffed animals and move around in a very human-like manner.
    Arin: I feel like you could take a screenshot of this and say it's a horror game.
    Danny: Oh absolutely.
    Arin: (In a creepy voice) Do you want to play with us?
    Danny: It's like that scene in AKIRA where the fucking teddy bear comes to life and murders everything.
  • Barry: Honey, you know it's unbearable.
  • The fact that nearly everything has a horrible pun attached to it. A teddy bear named Bearemy, a bunny named Pawlette, the phrase "pawesome," and the ship used to get to different islands is the Friend Ship.
  • They choose a creepy looking turtle as their character. Arin asks Barry to zoom in on his face.
    Arin: (In a creepy voice, as fire and footage of atomic explosions are overlayed over the turtle's face) I've seen the end of the world. It is terrifying. It makes my blood boil. I wish for all the people of the land...to know my strength. I will become the ender of worlds.
  • When they are given the opportunity to pick a sound for their creature to make, Arin believes one of the options should be a murder happening in the distance.
    Arin: (Far away from the mic, occasionally punching a cardboard box) "Get over here you fucking-!" "No, don't hurt me, no! Please! Please!" "DON'T YOU FUCKING MOVE!" "No, please! Don't hurt me! No, God, OW! Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop!" (In a squeaky voice) "I love you!"
  • Arin: I'm going with this.
  • Arin's addicted to hi-fiving a stuffed turtle.

    Ducktales 

    Kabuki Quantum Fighter 

    V.I.P. 

    Play with the Teletubbies 
  • The whole thing. They spend most of the episode alternating between being horrified and cracking incredibly dark jokes.
    Danny: Oh...no...no
  • Special mention goes to the live-action segment with the dog. They start screaming in horror at the sudden Art Shift to two little girls with goofy expressions waving at the camera.
    Danny: Look at their Christian minister dad!
  • When there's a close-up of the family's dog.
    Arin: WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT?!
    Danny: That's a dog, Arin.
    Arin: (In a noticeably better mood) What kinda dog?!
    Danny: I dunno. It's kinda cute actually. That's the one redeeming factor in this game. Those girls are twenty years old now and that dog is dead.
  • The family in the live-action segment goes for a walk, accompanied by ideallic shots that wouldn't look out of place in a medicine commercial, leading Dan to say...
    Dan: (close to the mic, in a sultry voice) The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
    (Arin and Dan crack up)
    • This dialogue:
    Girl: (Dog drinking water) "Alex always like a drink in the park."
    Danny (as Girl): "I made it drink gasoline." (Dan and Arin laugh) "I thought it would make him go faster."
    Arin (as Girl): "And then he went to sleep! We left him there- AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH! He came back. But when we realized he wasn't the same dog,"
    Danny (as Girl): "This wasn't my dad."
    Arin (as Girl): "Please help."
  • In the middle of the episode, Arin says that it "This is like the most fucking artsy game ever! This shit should be on a wall!" It changes to a Le Film Artistique style in black and white with Danny and Arin speaking French.
  • The entire duck sequence.
    PA System: Duck goes quack. Quack, quack, quack. Duck goes quack, quack, quack.
    Danny: (imitating PA System) You are... in hell. (makes fart noise as PA descends into the ground)
    Arin: (whispering) This some Big Brother shit this is the sign of the apocalypse... (continues to mutter incoherently)
  • Arin leaving to "hang himself."
  • The Grumps spend the video continually switching between exasperation and fear.
  • The funniest part of it all isn't even in the video. One of the comments is from the official Teletubbies YouTube channel: "Thank you so much for playing! We look forward to seeing you again!"

    Toejam And Earl 

    Transformers: Mystery of Convoy 

    Hannah Montana: The Movie 

    P.T. 
  • Dan gets more and more freaked out as the game goes on. It culminates in him putting an end to the playthrough after Lisa rushes at the screen.
    Dan: Okay. Okay! OKAY!!! ALRIGHT, WE'RE DONE! WE'RE DONE!!! GAME'S OVER! ALRIGHT NEXT TIME ON GAME GRUMPS!! WE ALL HAD A GOOD TIME! *Terrified laughter* GOOD TIME! OKAY! Okay...yup. Wait, wait, wait Wait! Yes... I shit myself.
  • For most of the playthrough Danny desperately tries to get the episode to end. As in you can tell he genuinely and so very very badly just wants be done with it. Arin won't let him.
    Dan: Okay. Arin?
    Arin: Yeah?
    Dan: Next time on fucking Game Grumps! I am done!
    Arin: No. What are you talking about?
    Dan: I am done! I do not like this. I am having a terrible time!
    Arin: But there's so much more!
    Dan: Noooo moooore!
    • Even better, the game won't let it end.
      Dan: Okay, y'know what, Arin?
      Arin: Yeah?
      Dan: Think I'm done! Think we're calling this-
      [camera pulls back, revealing the words "no turning back now" scribbled on the wall]
      Dan: "No turning ba-" yes there is! Shut up, game!
      *Arin laughs*
      Dan: You don't fuckin' know me! You don't know my life, bitch!
  • The evolution of their relationship with the deformed fetus in the sink, which quickly becomes one of the less terrifying parts of the game.
  • The first time Lisa appears in the hallway under the light, both of them are stunned into silence for several seconds. Danny finally breaks the silence by saying, "Okay."

    Kung Fu 

    The Goonies 

    Dog Island 
  • Arin and Dan naming their dog character PRINCEF TAAANX.
  • Their laughing over how there is a store specifically just for milk.
    Arin: I dunno. How'd they learn to build a door?!
    Danny: Also, how'd they learn to run a store?
    Arin: I dunno, how'd they learn to milk a cow?
    Danny: Excellent-and a milk store? In this economy?
  • The postman being called Mr. Postman.
  • "You bet your eight tits I did!"
    • The line itself is great, but Arin's delayed reaction to it before cracking up is probably the thing that sells it.
  • The Grumps make fun of the main character's brother getting sick, sarcastically suggesting that he's on death's door. They're right. Cue their horrified reactions.
    Arin: (reading dialogue) I have to be fra— (breaking character) OH MY GOD!!
    • Their shock that the entire game is actually pretty dark for a children's game. Their brother is on their deathbed, their father is either dead or missing, they believe that this one dog gave them poisoned milk which is the cause for their brother's ailment, and there have been numerous accounts of sinking ships to THE DOG Island. Their reactions go from mildly surprised to appalled.
    Arin: I don't want to watch sick puppies!
  • Arin and Danny making fun of there being a Dog Island, then start talking about if they went on holiday to Human Island.
  • This could be considered Danny's payback for their P.T. playthrough, having Arin suffer throughout and Danny try to keep it going.
  • In the second episode, we get to the reason why this evolved into a series rather than a one-off— Arin and Danny had a sleepless night beforehand thinking about the game, to the point where when Arin called him to suggest playing more, Danny immediately knew exactly what he was going to say and was in total agreement.
  • Arin and Danny's reactions when PRINCEF TAAANX jumps ship:
    Arin: WHOA!!
    Danny: Oh my god! Adorable puppy overboard! (watches PRINCEF TAAANX struggling to swim) Oh, she'll be fine!
    Arin: Hashtag wave! Hashtag drowning! (PRINCEF TAAANX vanishes under the waves)
    Danny: OH GOD NO!!
  • "I live in a book!"
  • The entire conversation with Amalia and Noble, with Arin and Danny turning the latter into a pimp, complete with Jive Turkey accent, and decide Amalia is one of his hoes.
    Arin as Noble: I thought I detected a fragile hint of elegance emanating from you...
  • "DO NOT GO IN THAT ROOM!"
  • The Chinaman dog, oh god, for the last ten minutes.
    Arin (notices the name tag): He is Chinese! "Yi Lu"!
    Danny: Oh. My. God...
    Arin: I wasn't just being racist! (reads Yi Lu's dialogue in stereotypical Asian accent) "Ah, hi there, young one."
    Danny (cracking up, imitates Arin): "I wasn't even being racist! 'OH-AH HERRO!'"

    Hell's Kitchen 

    Beavis and Butt-Head 

    Dragon's Lair 

    Captain Novolin 
  • Arin brings back a reference to Larry vs. Bird: One-on-One.
    • Arin: Duck, dude, Duck!
    Danny: Really? *ducks*
    Arin: It looks like you're pickin' a grape up offa the grooouund.
    Danny: Alright, asshole!

    Dragon Tales: Dragon Seek 

    Werewolf: The Last Warrior 

    Silent Hill: Play Novel 

    Gubble 

    Platoon 
  • Whenever the player character dies, his legs seem to enlarge. This leads to several hilarious reactions from Arin, followed by Danny acknowledging at the end that they do grow.
    Danny: Oh yeah, oh yeah. They do grow.
  • Arin continuously denying that the game is bad. Even going as far to say that he would be upset if the movie was bad and ruined the game.
    Arin: You know what, if I saw Platoon, I would be so upset that they ruined this game with a movie.
  • Three-quarters through the episode, it becomes apparent that the Grumps have run afoul of the Glitch Gremlin when the game data goes wonky and all the graphics are horribly screwed up.
    Arin: Woah, woah, woah! Dude, your "MOVALE" [MORALE] is gettin' crazy! (giggles)
    Dan: Yeah... (sees the glitch) AHAHAHAH!! Don't even get me started on my "CORE!" [SCORE] Oh, my-
    ("STATUS" readout glitches to "WTATUW" and then back again)
    Arin: Wow, it just melted into "STATUS".
    Danny: Yeah.
    Arin: This is the weirdest Nintendo fuck-up I have ever seen.
    Danny: What, you don't like my "LMTS?" [HITS]
    • And then it happens again at the end of the episode:
      Danny: Arin...
      ("GAME OVER" letters suddenly glitch)
      Danny: Ohh, "GAME OVEV!?" (another glitch-out) "GAMA OVAR?!?"
      (Arin and Danny lose it)
      (Screen returns to normal "GAME OVER")
      Arin: Nope- Just kidding!
      Danny: Oh, man. Wow! Later!
      Arin: Can I- I want a GIF of that.
      Danny: "GAMA OVAR."
    • The Stinger, where the game data is so screwed up the Grumps can't even enter a name for the high score because the characters won't stop jittering.

    Coldstone Creamery 
  • The Grumps opening and closing the episode with a very, very ear-wrenching rendition of "Untitled" by Simple Plan.
  • Arin freaking out over the simple matter of making ice cream because the controls actually confuse him.
  • Arin interprets the game's instructions a tad too literally:
    Arin: "The Wii-mote is your hand!" OHH, GOD! WHAT HAVE THEY DONE TO ME!?!
  • The vacant, doll-eyed stare given to the player by the female ice cream vendor on the other side of the street creeps the Grumps out.

    Robocop 
  • Danny punching a bad guy in the game and making an uncomfortable "enh" sound sends Arin into hysterics.
  • Danny notices Robocop's speech animation for a level cutscene is basically lazy mouth flapping and does a Gag Dub:
    Danny: BEPBEPBEPBEP
    Arin: (uncontrollable laughter)

    BurgerTime 
  • It turns out the people who sent the Grumps this game dumped a very old, malfunctioning, and almost completely worn out NES cartridge on them. Not even 2 minutes into the episode, the game freezes. Arin has to reset it several times before it starts working again, yet its graphics begin glitching just like during the Platoon playthrough.
  • While trying to get the game working, Arin uses apparently very precise wiggling and hand movements to get the game back into working condition. When he finally gets it to work, he begins yelling triumphantly, and it is amazing.
    Arin: Bang! [graphics onscreen begin to resemble the playable game] Ya see that shit? Got it locked and loaded.
    Danny: [laughing] Thank you to Ruben Clayford and the Espositos for sending us this shitty fucked-up copy of Burger Time!
    Arin: Hold on, hold on, watch this, watch this, aahhh, AAAHH! [the graphics go back to normal] OH, MAGIC! You see those fucking Magic Mike fingers, goin' up your COOOOOOOOOOOTER!
    [Danny laughs uncontrollably]

    Mappy-Land 
  • Just as the grumps are about to finish the first level, the game glitches out and the Grumps are horrified. However, they are able to finish the level and make a lot of progress on the second level even while the background looks like an 8-Bit Jackson Pollock Painting.
  • One level takes place inside a church, prompting Danny to tell another story about growing up Jewish. He apparently didn't know what a church or a cross was when he was very young, and figured the buildings with the giant "t" on them were places for people who really loved tea.
    Arin: "It must be nice to be that stupid."

    Adventures of Yogi Bear 

    Wall Street Kid 
  • The episode opens with a cast roll of all the characters that will appear in the game, complete with either a Punny Name or an Alliterative Name, often both. And it just keeps going.
  • The game proper begins, and...it's a stock trading game. Mundane Made Awesome it is not.
  • As their first foray into the stock market, Arin and Danny decide to buy 1000 shares of Yapple, only to discover they are limited to buying 7 shares at a time. These seven shares set them back 497,000 dollars. note 
  • The phone characters each seem to have something off about the way they speak. Ralph the real-estate agent is apparently actually a children's toy phone, Connie the secretary is actually a robot, and Stanley the stockbroker speaks in individual lines of text at a time, proper punctuation and inflections be damned.
    Ralph: Hello, my name is Ralph! The duck goes quack! Quack quack quack.
    Connie: COME BACK SOON FOR MORE HILARIOUS ZINGERS. I WILL DOWNLOAD MORE INTO MY JOKE DATABASE.
    Stanley: Stocks are money which a company divides into shares! Of equal amounts! That are bought! And sold in the stock! Market!
  • Dan questions why they would sit in on a stockholder's meeting when they only own a single share.
    Dan: I bought one share of Apple. Excuse me Mr. Jobs! I'd like to sit in. Are you dead? I'm sorry for bothering you.
  • They buy a dog for their spouse. Why? Because she showed up and asked for one.
    • The beginning of the game does mention "pamper your wife", and later in the game you do other things to keep your wife happy, such as buy her a new car. Of course, the Grumps didn't make it that far...
  • Dan makes another Call-Back, this time to Platoon, and the Grumps lament their predicament.
    Dan: (on seeing the Game Over screen) Oh man, Gama Ovar!
    Arin: What is that, some kind of French dog name?
    Dan: No, that's what happened to us in Platoon. Do you remember?
    Arin: Oh yeah...Welp!
    Dan: Are you sad that the fucking rich kid only had half a million dollars and made a profit of forty thousand in two weeks? I know: how will the rich EVER survive?
    Arin: Yep. And considered a failure.
    Dan: Yep, he'll never be a Benedict. You'll never be a Benedict, you don't have what it TAKES!

    Pac-In-Time 
  • The Grumps making fun of the very outdated nature of the game's story, particularly the phrases from the 90's.
  • Arin wondering why all the Pac family's faces is that of worry except the Baby.
  • Arin and Danny act like Pac-Man being turned into his child self is extremely painful.
  • They skip the cutscene for the Mountains, leading to this:
    Danny: (reading) "Pac-Man finds himself..." Let's leave it at that! He just has a spiritual journey.
  • Danny using Pac-Man to say how he is going to kill Arin's children.
  • Arin starts to enjoy himself when he gets the rope.

    Daze Before Christmas 
  • What starts out as a standard platformer starring Santa turns into a mishmash of which the likes Arin and Danny have never seen before on the channel. When they complete the first level, the game seemingly freezes. As it turns out, Arin's using an emulator and it turns out to be a bugged rom. What follows is Arin attempting to play other games, including a rom labeled "Chow Wai Man" which turns out to be nothing but a slideshow of pictures of Cantopop singer and actress Vivian Chow.
    • When the game first switches to the emulator menu, Arin panics and attempts to cover it up while Dan angrily claims that he had no idea.
      Dan: (reproachfully) Arin. And on Christmas, too.
    • For bonus points, the comments section points out that the game didn't actually freeze. The Grumps selected two-player mode at the start of the game; it was Dan's turn to press start.

    Jackie Chan: Stuntmaster 
  • Both of them immediately crack up over the horrible, blocky character designs.
    Arin: They all look like they have panty hose stretched over their faces.
    Danny: They're all on their way to rob a bank.
    • Both them wonder when this game came out. Arin suggest 1994, Dan thinks it came out after Pac-Man. It came out in 2000
  • They discover that in order to recover your health they need to drink "drawings of milk cartons."
    Danny: I can't wait to make a drawing of me drinking it.
  • Eventually, the game freezes, leaving the grumps wondering if it's loading something or not, leading Arin to remove the disk from the PlayStation and clean it to see if it responds.

    Super Troll Island 
  • This episode might actually be the funniest one off video they've done since "Mickey Mousecapade".
  • The grumps suddenly realize what kind of trolls the game was about... Troll Dolls.
    Danny: When you said we were playing Super Troll Island, I didn't... UGH, I didn't put it together it was these things.
    • From this point onward, the grumps begin to freak out about everything in the game. And for good reasons.
      • Special mentions go to the stage clear screen.
        (A giant troll face appears on the screen and moves towards and away from the viewer as Arin and Danny both scream in horror)
        Danny: (reading aloud) "The evil mist has been banished!"
        Arin: NO IT HAS NOT!!!
        Danny: That's not even Nightmare Fuel. That's nightmare fuel for the nightmare bus that you drive off the nightmare cliff into nightmare canyon.
        Arin: That's just nightmare jet fuel!
  • The game just keeps getting more and more bizarre as it progresses, which the Grumps react to accordingly.
  • Them constantly poking fun at the programmer of the game, Mike Ball.
  • Arin learned about the homosexual birds and bees by sticking a pencil up his Troll doll's ass.
  • Cumming or Drumming is brought up at one point.

    Solomon's Key 
  • "My name's Carl, and I'm selling vaginas left and right! Come on down to my Vagina Emporium!"
    "We keep getting in vaginas from China. They're china vaginas. Vachinas."
    • Capped off nicely with the note, "Sponsored by: Gary's China Vagina Emporium" in the lower lefthand corner.
  • Arin reading some "wisdom" from Ice JJ Fish's Twitter

    Home Improvement: Power Tool Pursuit 
  • Before the game begins, Arin asks Dan what he thinks the game is about. Dan's first guess is almost dead on, but his second guess is "maybe I need to find my coke dealer."
  • The Grumps fail to realize that there's a button to advance the dialogue in the game at first, and the speed that it advances at on its own is very slow. This causes Arin and Danny to add a Beat between every line of dialogue; sometimes mid-sentence.
    Arin!Tim: Hey Al, I think I'm gonna try to find the missing...
    (A full three seconds of awkward silence)
    Arin!Tim: ...tools again.
    • The absolute funniest example of this is when the Grumps find the dialogue advance button by accidentally pressing it and skipping a part of Al's sentence.
      Arin!Al: Now Tim, calm down. The tools were probably...
      (Beat)
      Dan!Tim: Sure, Al. (Arin and Dan laugh uncontrollably)
  • The game's health system is similar to that of Sonic the Hedgehog where the player needs to collect metal nuts that get dropped when Tim runs into an enemy. Naturally, the Grumps take full advantage of this.
    Arin: Your nuts are your health.

    Wild Guns: Reloaded 
  • The episode starts with Danny singing a song about "dick cheese". Arin goes on to say Dan's been singing the song to him all day, along with a ridiculous dance.
  • The Grumps experience some technical difficulties due to Danny's controller not working and Arin's accidentally pressing the PS button on the controller kicking them out of the game.
  • Danny initially plays as Bullet the dog, and immediately asks to be someone else because he freaks out at the sight of the dog being killed.

    F*ck Mr. Hatcher 

    Tungulus 
  • Yes, that is actually the name of the game. Dan and Arin, of course, have a field day with this shoddy, poorly translated trainwreck of a horror game.
  • Upon clicking on a cowboy hat, the screen goes black and the sound of someone pouring liquid into a glass plays. Danny's response to this.
    Danny: You shouldn't drink out of a cowboy hat.
  • On the loading screens, the game tells you to use the left-mouse button, abbreviated to LMB. Naturally, Arin and Danny come up with meanings for this abbreviation:
    • "Little Man's Bitch"
    • "Loading More Bullshit"
    • "Lick My Balls"
    • "Listen, My Bad"
    • "Let Me Be"
  • Upon opening a door quickly, Danny gets startled and we get this exchange.
    Danny: You gotta open the door more slowly, man. There could be a fucking tungulus behind those things.
    Arin: Do you think I have time to open doors slowly when there's a tungulus about?
  • After completing a puzzle by randomly hitting the H key, J key, and K key.
    Arin: I've been Tungulus'd.

    The Berenstain Bears on Their Own and You on Your Own 
  • The Grumps continually wondering if there will be any actual gameplay as the video goes on (spoilers: there isn't).note 
  • Dan protests the thought that bears can be Jews.
    Danny: God made Adam and Eve, not Adam and (bear noise.)
  • Arin and Danny treat the entire cartoon as if it were a shooting game from the eyes of two hunters, always trying to find the right time to "TAKE THE SHOT!". The first instance is at 4:21 and it only gets more outrageous from then on.
    Danny:(singing) Get all of the food, throw it in the pot
    They are right out in the open, Jimmy take the shot!
  • "Arin: (speaking as Grandpa Bear) Well, let's close the curtains so we can do some more murders and crack cocaine."
  • While walking down the drive-way Brother Bear and Sister Bear are reading their To-Do List and are nearly hit by the school bus, which speeds on by. Arin and Danny comment on this.
    Arin: (speaking as Sister Bear reading off of the To-Do List) Don't get hit by a bus. (makes the noise of someone getting hit by a bus).
    Danny: Check it off the list.
  • In school, Sister Bear raises her hand to answer her teacher's question, followed by her saying "What I was going to say was." However, the game cuts to her getting out of class. Needless to say the duo are confused, but Arin assumes that Sister Bear got detention for cussing.
    Arin: (Speaking as Sister Bear) What I was going to say was, I got detention, cause I said fuckhole in front of him.
  • Brother Bear gets into a bike race with one of his classmates, but stops when he sees a stop sign. His friend doesn't stop and ends up crashing into a wagon, but luckily ends up landing on a bush. Danny's comment on this.
    Danny: (Speaking as the reckless classmate) Hi, I'm Barry Bear and welcome to Jackass.
  • In the game, Brother Bear and Sister Bear lose their grocery list, however, Arin interprets this differently.
    Arin: (Speaking as Sister Bear) Oh no! I used it as toilet paper! And there's a shit smear on the third item! Can you help me wipe if off?
    • Which leads to Dan jokingly claiming that wiping the shit off the paper is the only interactive part of the cartoon.

    Christmas Puzzle 
  • Dan is loopy on flu medicine the whole time, bringing some hilarity to an otherwise unremarkable game.
    Arin: Oh, I have to collect the coins.
    Dan: [mumbles] Yeah of course you do, you stupid fucking bastard.
    [they start laughing]
    Arin: Wow! Jesus, Dan!
    Dan: I'm sorry.
    Arin: In your sickness, you have gotten testy.
    Dan: "Merry Christmas," is what I meant.
    [Arin laughs even harder]

    Defender of the Crown 
  • Right as they start (they even accidentally skipped the title screen), Dan and Arin are met with the statistics of the characters they can play. The very first one they see does not give a good impression:
    Dan: Wilfred of Ivanhoe! Join me! My leadership is AVERAGE.
    • This becomes a Brick Joke in the end of the review:
      Dan: Okay, good game everybody!
      Arin: Yeah, you should've been Ivanhoe, dude.
      Dan: Yeah, I should have. God, I really could have used his average leadership.

    Vice: Project Doom 
  • Their reactions to the title screen appearing after the first stage.
    • And on how ridiculously vague and uninformative the cutscenes are. The pronoun game is strong here.
      Arin: "You talkin' about him?" "Yeah, and that." "Huh. That is pretty interesting, but not as interesting as this."
      Dan: "What about the stuff?" "I checked out the stuff!" "What'd you find?" End of cutscene.
  • "Ow! That's real fire."
    • Made even better by Dan's intonation — he sounds like he could just as well be on an infomercial selling fire.
      "OW!!! That's Real Fire!"

    Flatout 3 

    Map Quiz Showdown 
  • Arin almost immediately getting what Dan calls the "school sweats" when he has to point which state is where on the U.S. map. It only gets funnier when he pulls up a Europe map quiz where both of them get real stumped trying to find Andorra (a microstate located on the France-Spain border that's about 30 km, i.e. 18.7 mi wide).

    Dinosaurs For Hire 
  • Around the beginning of the episode, the gameplay starts while Arin is in the middle of re-plugging the controller, leaving poor Archie to get beaten up by a small-ass ninja.
  • Playing the game makes Dan feel like he's truly in tune with dinosaurs for the first time in his life.
    Dan: They've always seemed so abstract and distant, having died...uh, 65 million years ago, when, in truth...now I'm right there with them in the action, and I know how they would've reacted...to being armed with machine guns.
  • The entire end of the episode has Dan bring up that the original comic had jokes about Clarence Thomas, leading to both the Grumps looking up what he did (Don't look it up if you're squeamish).
    Dan: But yeah, I just, like, remember...reading that in Dinosaurs For Hire and being like "Man! This is topical, I'm sure this'll age well".

    Granny 
  • The episode starts off with Danny singing along to the creepy (but repetitive) piano music on the title screen.
    Dan: Granny, Granny, Granny, Granny, scary, scary, scary, scary, scary Granny, Granny's scary-
    Arin: Long dress, long dress, long dress, long dress, long dress, long dress, long dress, long dress, horror game-
    Dan: (over Arin) Bear trap, bear trap, bear trap, bear trap- (corpses)
    • When they have to hide under a bed from Granny, Dan says her name in fear and then starts singing again.
  • Arin singing excitedly about going to Granny's house.
    Arin: On my way to Granny's house, Granny's house, Granny's house, on my way to Granny's house-
    Dan: Everything sucks.
  • On day four, Arin once again lures Granny into the player's room.
    Arin: Is she coming, or what?
    Dan: Oh lawd, she comin'! She's a heckin chonker, that Granny.

    Yume Nikki: Dream Diary 
  • In the beginning, Dan points out that Madotsuki has both chopsticks and a spoon, then calls her "very multicultural". Arin immediately clarifies that they do have spoons in Japan.
    Arin: How else are they supposed to eat soup, Dan?

    Monster High: 13 Wishes 
  • Dan starts the episode by introducing Arin — who is already not a fan of coffee — to Mr. Brown Iced Coffee.
    Dan: Do you think you might like something that tastes kind of like coffee, but also definitely like cigarettes?

    Vroom In The Night Sky 
  • The worst reviewed game on the Nintendo Switch. So they read some of the reviews. First Danny reads Jed Whitaker's review, then finds some 10/10 reviews.
    "The stylishing mesmerizing graphics out Persona 5 to shame. It is a gameplay controls very silky. Only for fractions of AAA cost because it is AAAA experience. Game of the year is game is the year 2017/10"
    • And
      "Overall, I give this game two Choking Joey's World Tours out of ten. I think it has the potential to be a really fun indie. It's pretty much a cute game with the added HD rumble feature. Oh, and you can set the rumble feature to violent and stick it up your ASS."
      • Arin then realises he has the rumble feature turned off, so he turns it on, but finds he has to hold the controller for it to work.
  • "The Nintendo Seal of Quality is long dead."

    Adolescent Santa Claus 
  • Due to the game being a Visual Novel, we get Generic Anime Protagonist voice from Arin, making the main character sound like a jaded FriendArin.
  • The game is clearly written by someone with no knowledge of what Christmas, Santa, or Rudolph are, making an incredibly boring Kinetic Novel with insane plot points.
    • There's apparently supposed to be numerous Santas, but all but one have been exterminated. This is never touched upon.
    • Despite the titular Adolescent Santa disgusing herself as a schoolgirl, presumably to be safe, the protagonist recognizes her as a Santa anyway, despite her looking nothing like a traditional Santa.
    • Santa apparently ate Rudolph.
  • After the titular Santa says she's Santa and the protagonist believes her, we get this:
    Dan!Protag: Are you Santa?
    Dan!Santa: Yes.
    Dan!Protag: No, your not.
    Dan!Santa: Yes, I am.
    Dan!Protag: Well, can't poke a hole in that watertight alibi!
  • They joke early on that someone knocks at the door for the PC to take his medication.
    Arin!Protag: I don't care about medication!
    Dan!Protag: I'm not gonna take it! It's one of those days!
    Arin!Protag: I'm talkin' to Santa Claus right now!
    Arin!Doctor: Oh!?
    Dan!Protag: And before you say that what I know you're thinking... No, it's not the Santa Claus with the beard... It's a little adolescent girl Santa Claus in a school uniform. So, joke's on you!
    Arin!Police: Get him down on the ground!
    Arin!Protag: Aaaagh!! She's filling me with Christmas hopes and cheer!
  • They get more and more annoyed about nothing happening and Arin notes that the game had very positive reviews on Steam, with Dan then wondering if they're missing something. The breaking point is when, after a half an hour of nonsense and no plot progression, Arin screams at the game for something to happen: as seen here.
    Santa: Pain is a cheap price to pay.
    Arin: JUST SOMETHING HAPPEN!!! (Dan laughs) I'm going insane!!
    Santa: I've thought about it for an hour.
    Dan: Yeah, me too!
    Protag: And I was just rolling snowballs for the past hour. Any good ideas!?
    Arin!Protag: I WOULD LOVE AN IDEA RIGHT ABOUT NOW!!!
    Santa: Mm... I did, but it's not the best of all ideas.
    Arin!Protag: JUST SHARE IT!!!
    Protag: WHAT IS IT!?
    Santa: Why don't we could go on a strike and protest outside city hall?
    Arin!Protag: WHAT!?!?! IT TOOK YOU THIRTY MINUTES TO GET TO THIS POINT!?!?! (Dan has a laughing fit) WE JUST FUTZED AROUND IN MY ROOM FOR TALKING ABOUT HOPES AND DREAMS AND SUDDENLY YOU WANT TO "STRIKE AND PROTEST OUTSIDE CITY HALL"?!?
    Dan: I feel like I'm doing a Let's Play with Samuel L. Jackson.
  • Late in the game, after a long series of "Even so.", Arin and then Dan starts singing "Even Flow" in the same pattern as the game's dialogue.
  • Any time Santa hits the protagonist, it says "The creditor swung violence at the debtor."

    Mountain Rescue Simulator 
  • Dan and Arin play the worst game the Nintendo Switch has to offer. Highlights include:
    • Arin assigns an NPC the name of Carl, only to find out three seconds later that his name is actually Karl.
    • The pause menu and its accompanying soft rock music inspire Danny to start talking in an AM radio announcer voice.
    • Pretty much any time Arin brings up the pause menu in the middle of the game, but special mention goes to the time he does it after driving a snowmobile off a cliff. TO BE CONTINUED...

    Ski Sniper 
  • Let's start with the very premise of the game: live-fire skeet shooting, with ski jumpers as the targets. Danny gets uncomfortable with it, at least once Arin's shots start connecting.
    Danny: (over a slow-motion view of a bullet shattering a skier's leg and hip bones) Ow ow ow! Oh god, guns are horrible.
    Arin: That's the femur, dude.
    Danny: Eugh. You could die from that.
    Arin: (while the skier hits the ground and ragdolls) As is represented here. In glorious HD.
  • The stock "crowd cheering" sound effect only plays when a skier gets killed. The "victory" animation of any surviving skiers, however, remains the same, even as they're gliding over the remains of their companion(s).
  • Danny apologizes in advance for cutting the episode short, because he needs to pick up his dog. Arin suggests he get rid of the dog. With extreme prejudice.

    No Players Online 
  • At this point, Danny has gotten wise to Arin trying to troll him with horror games that seem innocent at first.
    • Arin actually tries to make it look like the game is an actual old multiplayer PC game, to the point of trying to fake tweeting out a message to encourage people to join the game. Danny is very much suspicious the whole time.
    • The instant spooky shit starts happening, Dan's suspicions are confirmed, and completely so once the first proper scare happens. Cue a rant from Dan about how he really should've known better. "Fuckin' Blair Witch-ass motherfucker!"
    • The instant Dan learns of what the consequences are for delivering the flag the third time, he immediately does it. When he's told that as a result he "deleted the servers", he says "oh, dope".
    • And then he laughs and remarks that it's "pretty awesome" that the game doesn't simply start from the beginning when restarted, despite Arin complaining that "he didn't get the full experience". Even more hilariously, when Arin restarts the game fully, he doesn't get the full experience either, since there's a lot more to the game.
    • Now in animated form!
  • Having failed to really, really frighten Dan with this game, Arin resorts to googling scary faces to give him a fright. It doesn't work.
    • Arin clicks a picture of Sophie the robot and gives a wonderful little scream.
      Arin: (as he clicks on the picture) Ah!
      (cue everyone losing it)

    RE: Prince of Nigeria 

    Bad Ben 
  • Dan makes a joke about Mad Men, which goes over Arin's head.
    Dan: Bad Ben is the television show about the advertisers in The '50s, yes?
    Arin: ...Wha?
    Dan: Starring... okay. Kris got it! Boruff was laughing. It was a Mad Men joke, Arin.
  • After getting control of the Minnesota Nice character Tom Riley and attempting to interact with things, Arin finds the "Situational Awareness Mechanic": as in, he can press the "F" key at any time to make Tom shout a random expletive (including "FUCK!", "GOD DAMN IT!", "SHIT!" and "ASS!")
    Dan: He's just like you when you play chess.
    • Hilariously, when they played chess again a few months later, Arin quotes those lines in the same voice as Tom Riley.
  • Dan: "Man in Fedora Walks Around His House and Curses is my new favorite game."
  • Tom's confrontational nature in the face of supernatural terror, a dirty frightening figure, and a horribly dismembered corpse delights the Grumps to no end.
    Tom: You better not be down there, you little bitch! I'm gonna record me kicking your ass!
  • At one point, as Tom prepares to go look in the attic, the game is interrupted by a trailer for the ninth live-action Bad Ben film. When the ad ends and the game resumes, the attic adventure is over, leaving Arin and Dan laughing their asses off.
    Tom: Oh my god, that attic was the craziest shit! I've never seen so many hot ghosts in my life! Man, that was like the highlight of this whole experience.
  • Late in the game, as Tom is trapped and crawling in a white void, Arin realizes the "Situational Awareness Mechanic" still works, making him seem merely annoyed with being stuck there for 18 days.
    Tom: God damn it.
    (both Grumps erupt in laughter)
  • They get an absolute kick out of watching multiple videos of the live-action "Bad Ben" series on which the game is based (both the trailer that's included in the game and the additional videos they look up afterwards), especially its incredibly over-the-top, Ham and Cheese nature and Stylistic Suck (all of which are done on purpose by creator Nigel Bach), with Dan even drawing parallels to early NSP videos.

    Furry Feet 
  • The episode is aptly titled "We're never going to live this down". Furry Feet is a game that focuses on the feet of anthropomorphic women. Before the episode, most Lovelies were of the opinion "Dan is a furry" and now after Pokemon: Smash or Pass and this they're "They're both furries and Arin has a foot fetish."
  • Dan: "Who made you the fuckin' furry gatekeeper!? (Arin laughs wildly) The conversations we have to have on this show..."
  • This conversation as Arin takes a breather:
    Dan: Yeah. Bear's feet. With fucking socks on 'em!
    Allie: When are we gonna get the bare bear's feet?
  • Arin and Allie both wondering where the feet are.
  • Dan: This is really a surprising thing, because, as it turns out, you are the level of furry I could only dream of being."
  • After Arin gets angry about not seeing feet after downloading the 18+ version and hitting something we get this:
    Dan: Did you punch the DLC into functioning!? (Arin and Allie laugh very hard) You punched the keyboard!
    Arin: Feet!
  • Apparently after beating the game, they gain access to bare feet and "bare everything", which prompts them to post a censor picture over all the furry nudity.
    Dan: Can we just see, just for sake of science, can we see the one with the long hair, the...
    Allie: For science?
    Dan: For science, yeah...
    Arin: This one, but like all the way?
    Dan: Yeah, why not. Uh-huh. OK. Alright. Thank you. Appreciate it.
    Arin-as-Dan: Hold on, scanning.
    Dan: Scanning. Scanning. Taking mental pictures, we're good, let's go.
  • Dan: Game Grumps! We get made fun of for being furries, so you don't have to!

    WWE 2 K 19 
  • Arin and Dan have fun creating their own characters, Pooperstar and dave. Pooperstar is as tall and heavy as possible, while dave is as short and light as possible.
  • After finding out that they can't have their characters fight, they choose to fight as Randy Savage and Andre the Giant. They do hilarious impressions of their voices throughout the matches. Dan wins his first two matches, playing as Andre, in a Curb-Stomp Battle. Arin then wins the next match in a Curb-Stomp Battle.
  • Late in the episode they get to fight as their OCs. Arin's character is 7'3" tall and 600lbs, while Dan's character is 5'6" and 160lbs.
  • Pooperstar does a slow, awesome walk into the arena. Dan's character sprints in and slides into the ring, causing them to crack up. Given the size disparity, you'd probably guess which character dominates the fight. At one point, dave actually is able to pick up Pooperstar and bodyslam him. Despite Pooperstar dominating the fight, it's declared a draw, with dave unconscious on the ground and Pooperstar angry about the call.

    Animal Soccer World 
  • The entirety of the episode could be best described as MST3K with Arin laughing hysterically and Dan being absolutely shocked over the state of the "game". Dan even likens it to their Berenstain Bears on Their Own and You on Your Own episode that there's no actual gameplay and it's them mocking a cartoon.
    • For context, the "game" consists of a half-hour-long children's cartoon of extremely low quality (featuring a single voice actor speaking English with a heavy accent) and five low-effort minigames. Arin half-heartedly presents the minigames before starting the cartoon and immediately losing his entire shit - partly because he's seen it played before, partly because Dan hasn't.

    Forklift Simulator 

    Bad Boys: Miami Takedown 
  • The Grumps continue their run of weird, weird PS2 games with a really bad licensed game based on the Bad Boys films. At one point, Arin dies in a room where four bad guys run in in a group, and upon trying again, refers to them as the "Brothers Four". Dan immediately capitalizes on it.
    Arin: The Brothers Four. "Welcome back!"
    Dan: "Open the door to the Brothers Four!"
    Arin: (as he kills one with a shotgun) "Did you miss us?"
    Dan: "Now it is we, the Brothers Three!" (Arin kills another) "What can you do against the Brothers Two?" (Arin kills yet another) "Oh, fuck! It's just me now."
    • "Oh no! The Brothers Eight! That's not so great!"
    • "You haven't seen the Brothers Sixteen!"
    • "Hope you brought knives to fight the Brothers Thirty-Five!"
  • The audio fucks up so bad in the last cutscene that it leaves various lines of dialogue glitching and stuttering.
    Oh no, we got the stuttering disease!

    Night Of The Consumers 
  • Arin and Dan's constant fear of the consumers and feared sounds when they see them is hilarious.
  • Dan: "I can't think of a better way out of this than being fired!"

    Trombone Champ 
  • The entirety of the episode is a giggle-fest as Arin tries to play difficult songs such as Jarabe Tapatío (aka the Mexican Hat Dance). Every time he misses a note, the trombone still plays out of tune, sending Dan into a giggle fit without fail.
    Dan: I feel like I'm at a third grade recital.
  • Dan: "It's like listening to a brass section get strangled!"
  • Dan reliving his bar mitzvah and singing "Hava Nagila" as Arin tries to play along on trombone is both impressive and extremely funny.
    Arin: Did I honor your culture?
    Dan: (ragged exhale) Oh yeah.

    About An Elf 
  • The very title of the episode says everything: "...We Have No Words." In fact, you may as well see it for yourself.
  • The surreal tone of the entire game makes Dan wonder if it has more...fetishistic intentions.
    "Are people like...supposed to J.O. to this?"

    Horse Club Adventures 2: Hazelwood Stories 
  • They name their character, as a reference to the first game, Bellyjingus and their horse Bellyjongus.
  • Due to the characters' unfortunate pants design, it looks like they soiled themselves.
    Dan: Horse Club Adventures 2: Now all pants come pre-shitted!
    Arin!Bellyjingus: Look, all my friends have shitted and farted their pants!
  • Due to the other girls frequently saying things at the same time, they joke that they're part of a Hive Mind.

    Petz Rescue: Wildlife Vet 
  • They name their female character "Dug".
  • The text is glitched out in the game so that parts of it are unreadable. They read the text as is, making it sound like the characters are alternately either drunk or 4 years old.
  • After successfully completing a procedure, the vet in training is in a oddly flirty looking pose, so they later joke that it's the beginning a porno and she's coming onto the animal.
  • Dan also questions why she's showing so much skin, with a bared midriff and shorts. Arin rationalizes it as it's hot wherever they are.
    Arin: Well, it's hot in the savannah or wherever they are.
    Dan: (laughs) Savannah? The outback of Japan?
  • After treating a Florida panther, the only readable text for the head doctor is "You" followed by several o's and u's and they joke that he just says an angrily drawn out "You!".

    Crimson Snow 
  • Arin and Dan get a kick out of the message on the main menu screen asking for bug reports "and your ideas".
  • "I hate that she's hot."
  • At one point Arin gets too close to a door while hiding from the vampire woman and gets her attention, prompting a visceral shout of "You stupid bastard!" from Dan.

    Paranoiascape 
  • Arin tries to explain the game's creator, Screaming Mad George (aka Joji Tani), settling on "the Rob Zombie of Japan".
  • Dan goes silent for a moment, then randomly says "Thank God fish aren't into cash." Then he's forced to explain himself as Arin laughs his ass off.
    Dan: Thank God fish aren't...into cash.
    Arin: (bewildered) Like they're stealing my cash?
    Dan: Yeah - well. All right. I'm gonna be honest with you...I fell asleep for a second there. I had a two-second dream that, like, fish were stealing stuff.

    The Shield: The Game 
  • The entirety of them riffing on the opening movie is comedy gold. For example: the corrupt cops from the show standing around a table absolutely covered in cash? "Mom gave us too much allowance!"
  • They think the opening segment of the game is their own house and they're punching holes in their own walls and kicking in their own doors.
  • Credits randomly play in the opening segment, which cracks them up.
    Arin: Who's Walton Goggins?!?
    Dan: Is he a hobbit?
  • Arin and Dan joke that Goma and Margos are Zelda enemies.
  • Arin reading the tutorial about not letting Vic's "heat" get too high from dirty cop behavior.
    Arin: "The higher Vic's heat is..." the more likely he'll attract a mate.
  • When Arin takes too long to shoot Margos, even pushing the "punch" button instead of the "shoot" trigger, Margos simply picks up the gun and kills him.
  • After thoroughly mocking the opening in which Vic kills Margos, plants a gun on him, and calls in "an officer involved shooting" just before "Just Another Day" from The Shield plays:
    Dan: I feel like that was meant to be a lot more badass than we made it out to be.
  • Arin decides Ronnie Gardocki looks like Charlie Day and does a shockingly good impression of him every time they see him.
  • "Press X to retirement"
  • They keep lamenting their inability to go outside in the game.
  • When some Mexican gangsters are talking and say "ese", they joke that it's an essay for school tomorrow.
  • Vic kicks the back door of a gangster's place and it does nothing and then Arin has him try the knob, which works and causes them to crack up. Dan compares it to the scene in The Naked Gun where Nordberg tries to kicks open the door, but just kicks a hole in it, causing the gangsters behind the door to pull all their guns.

    Predator 2 
  • Dan explains the basic plot of the Predator and then says it's a "rom-com".
  • With basically Everything Trying to Kill You, Dan compares it to the scene in Hot Shots! Part Deux, where Topper fires a gun for so long that he has bullet casings up to his waist.
  • After killing dozens of guys:
    Dan: Well, all in a days work in the LAPD. My god! You've killed like 400 people!
  • To get the ammo, you have to shoot the ammo.
  • In the hotel, the staff all want to kill you. They get a kick out of the fact that the waiters are re-skinned thugs from the first section wearing tuxedos.
  • Arin kills several of the people pushing wheelchairs after one of them starts shooting at him. Dan says not to, then:
    Dan: Oh my God, the guy pushing the wheelchair is shooting at you!
    Arin: I know!
    Dan: Oh my lord, what kind of a hotel is this!? This is the last time I stay at a Red Roof Inn!
  • After having to restart after a game over, they compare the game's franticness to being a "very loud drum and bass song all the time" when all you need is 10 seconds.
  • After getting a game over:
    Arin: I think I hit too many innocents or somethin'. That tracks.
    Dan: "S" happens.
    (...)
    Dan: That's like the worst thing you can say as an officer of the law. "You shot too many innocents!" "Eh, that does track..."
  • Dan points out some 8-bit nudity that they should probably blur. Said nudity is 2 one-pixel nipples.

    Baldi's Basics Classic Remastered 

    Bird Simulator 
  • Dan says that Arin's like NATO after getting involved in two other player's fight, then translates NATO into the "National Association of Things like Owls", causing them to laugh and Dan to admit he panicked.
  • Arin and "britnoot" discover you can fire poop while waiting to respawn, leading to his and britnoot's scores to rapidly climb as they kill each other and other players rapidly, while dead.
  • After "InkpenIncendiary" kills them, they shoot them out of the sky with their "anti-air poops" causing a laughing fit and them to say that it doesn't get any funnier than that, thanking the other players by name and ending the episode.

    DEEEER Simulator 
  • Arin is unsure what type of fish is in the game.
    Arin: What's that fish called?
    Dan: Wanda?
  • Dan really likes the game.
    I think the fact that it's so good and so dumb at the same time. Kind of like what we strive to make the show be.
  • Dan suggests trying to ride an elephant instead of shooting it. Arin points out the only thing he can do is shoot them, aside from riding them.
    Dan: I just said, "Why not ride them instead of shooting them," and you're like "'Cause shooting them is all I can do, except for riding."
