"Hey i'm grump"

"Im not so grump!"

"And we're the Game Grumps!!"

 

Figure I just create a sepreate topic for this instead of using the Jontron topic for updates.

Basically Game Grumps is a glorious combination of internet celebrites Jontron and Egoraptor, who commentate on various games they play together. One could call it a let's play channel (even thought Egoraptor outright refuses to call it that) and a very hilarious one at that. There really is no coherrence to any of the jokes they make on the channel, all you need to know is that it's really really hilarious. Almost every episode ive seen thus far has managed to make me laugh, some even had me in tears. It's not like they're even really trying, they're just a couple of goofballs who have fun playing vidya games, and to me, that's what makes the show fun. And the fandom knows this, considering that it hasnt been a month and already they're are tons of hilarious fan works, most notably in the music category, if you haven't heard such jaunty tunes such as "Pause Balls" and "Poppy Bros", then what are you doing here? Go listen to them now!

Games that they are currentley playing are:
Link to the Past
Kirby Super Star
Pokemon Emerald
Mega Man 7
Goof Troop

Here are their most recent videos

To be honest, I don't see much appeal. I haven't watched Jontron, but I've watched Egoraptor and really like him. The thing is, it just feels like another Let's Play channel. Other than the novelty of who's playing, nothing makes it stand out much to me.

Except maybe the orange borders on the gameplay videos. Ugh.

I freakin' love Game Grumps. It works so well because these two have such a great chemistry. One of them will crack a good joke and the other will play off of it like a pro, turning a simple joke into some kind of beautiful, beautiful improv skit.

[Codes in Trance]

I've seen all their videos so far and I can say that their the funniest let's play (Don't care what Egoraptor says It IS a let's play channel) channel ever to grace the interwebz!

[Snatcher2047]

I'm a huge fan of both and their senses of humor really blend well together. They could make a joke that doesn't make any sense at all but make it hilarious in their delivery. I'm currently in the middle of their Kirby SNES gameplay and I can't stop laughing.

I watch Game Groomps every day with Toast.
Some fantastic evenings to be spent, as far as LP channels go it's one of the best. But by far one of the greatest things about it is the material that the fans create about it.

Apparently they're making one with Conker's Bad Fur Day? Looking forward to that one immensely.

Well speak of devil.

This is easily my favorite game commentary channel ever (sorry Brainscratch crew). I just love how in sync they are, especially when they burst into song. It's like they share one beautiful brain. They were already some of my favorite people individually (JonTron is my favorite internet personality), and they are just as hilarious together. They make me laugh out loud on a regular basis, something almost no shows can do.

And for the record, I think this is my favorite remix.

Egoraptor, stop doing something fun and get back to making cartoons, slave.

I've been watching this pretty religiously to be honest, XD. It's fun to watch the two just act so casually while playing games, since it reminds me of the rare times I get to do this with my best friend from back home. Almost every single episode I'm laughing out loud, or damn right losing my shit haha.

Kinda wish they'd hurry up with Emerald though. I have a feeling they won't finish it, but I'd like them to at least pick up the pace a bit. Goof Troop is probably my favorite one to watch, but I'm kinda torn with Kirby too, since every single Kirby one so far has me giggling like a school girl.

I love Egoraptor's stuff, but I'm not very familiar with Jontron.But this should be enjoyable.

I like JonTron's reviews and Egoraptor makes some relatively good animations, but it's obviously just another YT Partner acount made with the soul intention of making money and nothing else.

Not even enjoyment? Just because people may want to make money doesn't mean they usually do these things solely for money. And besides, if it brought us something good, who cares why they did it?

How dare they make money off of something everyone is able to enjoy for free.

Those sick bastards.

[Wolfy]

Honestly, I wish I could make a living by waking up at the crack of noon, playing games all day with a best friend, joking about how Proto-man told them to burn down a forest.

[Discoid]

La dee da don't mind me just embedding this so people without 18+ YouTube accounts can actually watch



Fuck you, Youtube.

[shimapun]

Since the channel started, these guys have made everyday worthwhile. I dare you to watch an episode without cracking a smile.

Also, because of Game Grumps, I feel super compelled to buy Goof Troop off of ebay right now.

[VEDJ-F]

Relevant bump.

[Toby Barrett]

Aw hell yeah! One of my favorite games of all time!

[Soniman]

Its pretty entertainig to see Jon go fucking bonkers over this game.

Ironically, Ive seen him mention Banjo Tooie all of one time during his entire tenure.
