* This comes from someone who went to their live show in Nyack, New York; near the tail end of the show, one of the show's staff brought in a man who had a VIP ticket, but made it late due to the Tappan Zee bridge falling apart, who gave the Grumps a heartfelt thanks for helping him stay happy even after he'd lost friends to heroin addiction.
** Also from GG Live, but the last person they thanked during their whole "Special Thanks" segment was Jon, for starting the whole thing with Arin.

** [[spoiler: [[https://youtu.be/Fysul9s2LzI?t=8m56s They finally make it to Papyrus, the first big hurdle of the Genocide run]]. Ross is already clearly upset, but when it becomes clear Papyrus isn't even going to fight back, Ross ''leaves the room''. Even Barry, who had been reveling in the Genocide run in a "I like that it makes me feel so awful" way is clearly beyond words. The episode ends with Barry giving two depressed coughs in the mic as you can hear Ross leave, slamming the door behind him.]]

* In episode 89 of Pokemon [=FireRed=], they take Knurttt out of the Day Care, takes out one Oddish, and is immediately put back into the Day Care. The sad part is that Dan and Arin paint a scenario in which Knurttt is extremely excited to be with I never again, but is thrown away with a second thought, causing Knurttt to become absolutely heartbroken. This is played as dark humor, but can still easily be seen as a tearjerker.

* Part 73 of Super Mario Galaxy ends up being a very reflective, somber video as both Danny and Arin talk about how it feels like to grow older and how the current workload is taking a lot more out of them than it would when they were younger.
** Danny in particular admits that the reason he's not been himself in the last couple of videos is because he's reaching 'diagnosable' levels of exhaustion with his current projects, and that the reason he's driving himself so hard is because he feels he's only got two or three albums' worth of music left in him.

* In part 1 of ''Star Fox 64'', Jon and Arin talk about how when they're depressed, they eat food (Jon's food being burgers, Arin's being ice cream). They mention how eating this food actually makes them more unhappy, as they lose self-control and eat too much, making them feel bad.
