History WebVideo / GrumpyTropers

* ''An argument for prohibition'': In @/EnglishIvy's debut, she, Shlap and Miij take on a Let's Play made by a drunken, angry Let's Player who has issues with "killing" video game sprites in ''[[WesternAnimation/DuckTales The Lucky Dime Caper]]'', Indie Games and minor things. Many comments about his drunken incompetence are had, and two long pauses in action occur.

* ''Oh no'': Made when Shlap's microphone gave out, English Ivy has to experience horror as a ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog'' Let's Player, who had gas from Taco Bell food, describes how to make a Dr. Robotnik in the bathtub. It's best that you don't ask what that is, but note that it does not involve the aforementioned gas.

* ADateWithRosiePalms: Implied with [=MrCDean=] since he was playing ''VideoGame/DeadOrAlive Xtreme Beach Volleyball'', of all things.

->'''@/{{Shlapintogan}}''': "[[RantInducingSlight Ugh... why?]]"\\

* RantInducingSlight: ''All over the place'' in "RP Mischief FIRE". Slights include going out of the way to get all the blue gems, falling into fire multiple times, talking about worshipping Let's Players, and most of all [[BerserkButton taking five and a half minutes to finish Clanball Land.]]
-->'''@/{{goodtimesfreegrog}}''': And we're just going to have to resort to talking about technical BS because this guy is not saying --
-->'''@/{{Shlapintogan}}''': No no. I have something.
-->'''@/{{goodtimesfreegrog}}''': Oh. He finished a level!
-->''The grade screen for Clanball Land shows up''
-->'''@/{{Shlapintogan}}''': '''''D. TRY HARDER.''''' You took ''five minutes and forty five seconds'' to finish the easiest level in the game.
-->'''@/{{goodtimesfreegrog}}''': See, that's not just us. ''Even the game thinks you suck at it.''

* ''Oh no'': Made when Shlap's microphone gave out, English Ivy has to experience horror as a ''SonicTheHedgehog'' Let's Player, who had gas from Taco Bell food, describes how to make a Dr. Robotnik in the bathtub. It's best that you don't ask what that is, but note that it does not involve the aforementioned gas.

* UsefulNotes/AustralianAccent: [=1985Griever=], but Grog can pull one off almost perfectly.

* ''CrocodileDundee plays Metal Gear Solid'': A Let's Player who decides to speak with a ridiculous Australian accent does an LP of ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid''. Besides the issue of a camcorder being used, the accent only serves to irritate Grog and Shlap endlessly.

* ''Let's forget about playing Phantasy Star Portable'': ...because ''PhantasyStar'' really doesn't get played in the video. Shlap, Miij and English Ivy watch a guy make enraging remarks while "conversing" with video game characters.

** Taking at least four minutes to finish a simple conversation in PhantasyStar Portable also sets off Shlapintogan.

* ''Kwhyzo Mario'': Shlap, Longfellow and English Ivy take on a dime-a-dozen LetsPlay of ''KaizoMarioWorld'' where the maker in question doesn't make much progress for 10 minutes.

* ''Wet's pway Spywo siwentwy'': A LetsPlay of ''SpyroTheDragon'' done on a camcorder and pointed at an antique TV set may seem fairly standard at this point, but the audio mysteriously cutting out several seconds into the video allows Shlap and Grog to really open up on this LP.

* ''Let's vomit profusely'': Shlap and Miijhal RP an LP of a ''DragonQuest'' game for the DS done on a camcorder with a bunch of guys barely talking about it at all. A very disjointing experience for the senses.

* ''RP Paper Proloag'': This time, Shlap and Grog take on a Camcorder LP of ''PaperMario: The Thousand-Year Door'', which was done on a hacked Nintendo Wii. The poor camcorder quality is only worsened by the maker of the LP reading the text out loud, among other things.

* ''Retsuwatch Chargeman Ken'': Shlap and Miij watch an episode of ''ChargemanKen'' in awe of its craziness.

* AustralianAccent: [=1985Griever=], but Grog can pull one off almost perfectly.

->'''@/{{Shlapintogan}}''': "[[RantInducingSlight Ugh... why?]]"
->'''@/{{goodtimesfreegrog}}''': "[[MathematiciansAnswer Because YouTube.]]"

* @/{{Shlapintogan}} was half of the reason Grumpy Tropers ever existed. It all started with his searing hatred for all the low quality MischiefMakers Let's Plays on Youtube. His was the calmer, deeper voice in the videos. He is also a decently accomplished Let's Player who can be found on Youtube.

* ''RP Mischief FIRE'': The original. In it, Shlap and Grog RP a ''MischiefMakers'' LP. At first, the issues with the recording methods and the poor cropping of the video rile them up, but the poor playing really sets them off.

* ''I can't shake shake this hate hate'': Shlap and @/{{Ponicalica}} delve into the aforementioned Mischief Makers LP again. More incompetance and fire ensues.

* BerserkButton: For Shlapintogan, it's taking five minutes to finish [[MischiefMakers Clanball]] [[GreenHillZone Land]]. Camcorder [=LPs=] also tend to strike a nerve for everyone involved.

* FateWorseThanDeath: In "Let's Vomit Profusely", @/{{Miijhal}} mentions that years after we are all gone, when her corpse is finally exhumed for archeological study, she will still be screaming about how horrible the LP was. Shlapintogan also notes that the video is what a [[{{Scanners}} scanner]] uses to set people on fire.

* ''Hurf'': Shlap, Miij and Grog all watch a camcorder LP of ''DeadOrAlive Xtreme Beach Volleyball'' done by another creepy guy. A very awkward experience for all involved, as scan lines, swimwear shopping, odd background noises, volleyball and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking card games]] get involved.

* ADateWithRosiePalms: Implied with [=MrCDean=] since he was playing ''DeadOrAlive Xtreme Beach Volleyball'', of all things.

* ''Gamspurts'': Normally, Shlap and Grog wouldn't have done a video on something made by a kid (Shlap likens it to "a Hell's Angel beating up on a toddler"), but this video, where two kids use a camcorder to review the box for the European version of ''{{Rayman}} Arena'', is an exception. Among the annoyances are Raspberry noises (among other "sound effects") and awful microphone and camera quality.

* ''An argument for prohibition'': In @/EnglishIvy's debut, she, Shlap and Miij take on a Let's Play made by a drunken, angry Let's Player who has issues with "killing" video game sprites in ''[[DuckTales The Lucky Dime Caper]]'', Indie Games and minor things. Many comments about his drunken incompetence are had, and two long pauses in action occur.

* ItGotWorse: In "Let's Vomit Profusely", the video is already a camcorder LP with two obnoxious guys barely talking about the game. Then Three Days Grace kicks in...

-->'''@/{{Shlapintogan}}''': No no. [[ItGotWorse I have something.]]

* ''CrocodileDundee plays Metal Gear Solid'': A Let's Player who decides to speak with a ridiculous Australian accent does an LP of ''MetalGearSolid''. Besides the issue of a camcorder being used, the accent only serves to irritate Grog and Shlap endlessly.
* ''Wet's pway Spywo siwentwy'': A LetsPlay of ''{{Spyro the Dragon}}'' done on a camcorder and pointed at an antique TV set may seem fairly standard at this point, but the audio mysteriously cutting out several seconds into the video allows Shlap and Grog to really open up on this LP.

* ''I like DBZ and it is good for me'': Shlap and Miij watch an LP of a "[[DragonBallZ Create-A-Saiyan]]" Flash game done by a big fan of the series. Cracks about DBZ, the Let's Player's possible Homophobia and other things ensue among the creepiness of the video.

* CatchPhrase: "Why?" "Because YouTube."

-->'''@/{{Shlapintogan}}''': "[[RantInducingSlight Ugh... why?]]"
-->'''@/{{goodtimesfreegrog}}''': "[[MathematiciansAnswer Because YouTube.]]"

* CaptainErsatz: [=1985Griever=] for SirRonLionheart ''and'' ElectricalBeast. He doesn't do a very good job at it.

* MagnumOpus: Each regular has a video that they believe is their best.
** Shlapintogan: "RP Paper Proloag"
** Goodtimesfreegrog: "Wet's Pway Spywo Siwentwy"
** Miijhal: "I like DBZ and it is good for me"

* ''viteo keims'': Shlap and Grog pretend to be awed by who they claim is WebVideo/TheAngryVideoGameNerd when it is, in fact, a guy speaking heavily accented English while attempting to review ''ResonanceOfFate''. This video contained one of the few recorded instances of goodtimesfreegrog speaking English in his native Finnish accent.
