Trivia / The Angry Grandpa

Go To

  • Corpsing: Michael cracks up when trying to play dead after faking convulsions and foaming at the mouth in GRANDPA KILLS PICKLEBOY!! (PRANK)
  • Distanced from Current Events: A minor example, but ANGRY GRANDPA DESTROYS IPAD PRO!! had a delayed release out of respect to the November 2015 Paris Terror Attacks.
  • Keep Circulating the Tapes: A number of older Angry Grandpa videos (such as the cat food burrito video and the video of Grandpa eating off of his toilet) were removed from the Angry Grandpa Show channel for undisclosed reasons (likely due to their gross-out humor). Older videos from the Angry Grandpa's original channel were likely not re-uploaded for similar reasons. Many of these old episodes only survive through mirrors or reaction videos.
  • Missing Episode: The infamous Fake Bomb Prank video was pulled from the Angry Grandpa show shortly after airing on August 3rd, 2012. Michael has claimed that the FBI got called because the video showed Michael receiving a package containing a (fake) bomb from a postal service worker. Concerned that Michael had sent an explosive device through the mail (a major felony), the FBI took him in for questioning and examined the footage that was shot that day. After learning that Michael had staged the scene with the postal worker, the FBI released Michael and sent him on his way. Since then, Michael has stated that he is hesitant to reupload the video. Given YouTube's attitude towards such content and the backlash the original video had with fans, the prospect of the Fake Bomb Prank video resurfacing in its original form is slim to none.
