12* The last VideoGame/MegaMan7 video has a few jabs at WebVideo/PewDiePie.

14* "AUGH, KIMI! STOP BEING [[CousinOliver A WEIRD RUGRAT THAT CAME LATER!]]"

17'''Arin:''' Um, [-[[Website/DeviantArt deviantart.com]]/EVERYTHING!!-]
18* In the finale of ''Metal Slug'', Arin takes great offense at being compared with [[WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy Bruce]].
19-->'''Arin:''' ''Family Guy'' is like, "Ehh, Optimus Prime's a Jew. LOL." That's not even ''a joke''!\
20'''Jon:''' [[HypocrisyNod Have you seen our content, AIR-IN~?!!]]\

22'''Jon:''' Lemmie go ahead and give you ''our'' content: "OOOH! *fart noises*"
23* Creator/RobertDeNiro gets the treatment during the Egg Wyvern battle, after Jon praises ''Film/AnalyzeThis''. Arin had already noted that De Niro was a poor interview.

30-->'''Jon:''' Let me give you my favorite Kevin Federline song: ''Oops I put my pee pee in the [[Music/BritneySpears wrong giiiirrrrl]]!'' ♪
31* The majority of the 61st Sonic '06 episode was spent dishing dirt on ''Series/TheTester''. Especially how Arin was treated on it.

33"DAT ONE DAT ONE DAT ONE DAT ONE!"\
34"You're ''good'', you're ''hired''."
35* Arin and Jon have taken several stabs to WebVideo/TheIrateGamer. Notable examples are during several ''Sonic '06'' episodes and ''Incredible Crisis''. Jon mentions that the Irate Gamer is probably the only guy they could make fun of in the show without upsetting a large amount of their fans.
36* In an episode of ''Super Mario Maker'' recorded shortly after David Bowie's death, Dan brings up how Bowie was reportedly asked to make an appearance on a Coldplay song, only to say "It's not a very good song, is it?" after hearing a sample. Arin and Dan then simultaneously come up with the exact same joke, where the band responds "Of course it's not a good song, we're Coldplay!"
37* In an episode of their ''Ocarina of Time'' Let's Play, Danny and Arin poke fun at ''WesternAnimation/TheClevelandShow'', and to a lesser degree ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'':
38--> "They took all the jokes that they rejected from ''Family Guy'', and put them in the show."\
39"That's what it felt like, it really felt like the leftovers of the leftovers."
40** In another playthrough, they snark that any joke from ''Family Guy'' is probably [[ParodyDisplacement actually from something else]] due to the show's ReferenceOverdosed sense of humor.
41---> '''Arin:''' I think I've seen it in ''Family Guy''.
42---> '''Danny:''' Well, you ''know'' it's from something else because it was in ''Family Guy!''
43---> '''Arin:''' I was just gonna say that! Nothing is "from" ''Family Guy''; ''Family Guy'' just reminds you that things exist!
44* An episode of their playthrough of ''Wind Waker'' has Danny directly call ''Film/SpiderMan3'' a bad movie, followed by a lengthy discussion about the Spider-Man film franchise in general, including Sony's refusal to allow Spidey into the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse at the time.
45-->'''Arin''': [[SarcasmMode Because who'd wanna see that, amiright?]]
46* An episode of ''Super Mario 64'' has Arin and Danny discuss the Website/{{Youtube}} algorithm and its flaws preventing them from knowing if they have [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff non-American fans]] or not.
47* When Arin jokes about putting Secretary Anderson out of his misery in ''Trauma Center: Second Opinion'', Danny suggests injecting frames of ''Film/TheLastAirbender''. Subverted the following joke when Arin suggests including some Music/LinkinPark, only for Danny to object since [[InsultFriendlyFire he actually likes them]].
48* Episode 12 of Arin and Dan's first Super Mario Maker 2 series has a pop up graphic of Website/YouTube copyright police storming the Grump Room, just for the Grumps trying to play [[Series/TheBennyHillShow Yakety Sax]] in the video.
49* When playing ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil7'' and they come across a shelf of football paraphernalia:
50--> '''Danny:''' Oh shit! They're Cleveland Browns fans! Run! They're used to disappointment!
51* When playing ''VideoGame/SpaceQuestIVRogerWilcoAndTheTimeRippers'' on ''WebVideo/SteamTrain'' they spot a store called [[{{Pun}} Hz. So Good]] and note how "it's a video game store like Game Stop!" Then, after being curtly told by the store owner that they have nothing for sale but crap from the bargain bin, and that they have a ''strict'' no-returns policy because they're owned by an evil corporation...
52--> '''Danny:''' Wow! It ''is'' just like Game Stop!
53* During their playthrough of a ''Series/PressYourLuck'' game, the Grumps get a question about ''WesternAnimation/ThePolarExpress''. After they answer correctly, they have this to say about the movie.
54-->'''Danny:''' [[SarcasmMode Boy, that sounds like a really good movie.]] ''(blows raspberry)''\
55'''Arin:''' ''The Polar Express''? More like the pole up your ass!
56* When the Grumps are playing Ross's sadistic ''VideoGame/SuperMarioMaker'' levels, they at one point decide to use the level-editor to check his level YOU ARE A MONSTER for hidden powerups or developer exits[[note]]''Mario Maker'' forces you to beat your own level before being allowed to upload it, as an AntiFrustrationFeature to prevent UnwinnableByDesign troll levels, so many developers who want to make difficult levels will hide secret passages for themselves to bypass and beat the level. However, anyone can download your level, open it in the editor, and immediately spot them to use for themselves[[/note]] and turn up empty-handed. When he comes back for round two, he deliberately planted an EasterEgg out-of-bounds in his level Boss Rush that spells out "ARIN SUCKS" in coins ''specifically'' to taunt them if they tried it again. Sad to say they didn't, though fans quickly found it.
