Guest Grumps
Steve-O
- Steve-O, being the Pornomancer that he is, gives Danny endless grief over who he "crushes" on.Danny: I'm not crushing! Goddamit Steve-O!
Jacob Anderson aka Raleigh Ritchie
- Jacob (who's from Bristol) opens by doing an impression of an American doing a terrible British accent...which comes full circle when he latter does a genuinely terrible American accent.
- They start by playing an underwhelming "Game of Thrones" game, but Jacob's afraid to criticize it because he doesn't want to get in trouble with HBO.
- Ross even apparently warned them away from playing that game, which surprised them given his usual sadism.
- Jacob getting fake pouty over Danny selecting Yoshi before he could.Danny: You want to be Yoshi?Jacob: No. I'll be Luigi.Arin: You could be a Koopa Troopa.Arin: Look at the courses! Koopa Troopa has his own beach.Jacob: Yea but Yoshi has a valley! Screw a beach! I want a valley!
- After Danny loses the final race in Mario Kart.Arin: Well, you got second, that's great.
Danny: Arin, don't fucking patronize me you piece of shit! - While playing Wheel of Fortune, Danny and Arin both get a bankrupt, prompting Danny to have a bit of a flashback.Danny: No! Not this again!
- Arin becomes legitimately angry when Dan tricks him into spelling “Adirondack Mountains” wrong.
- Maine gets a lot of shit when a it turns up as a prize vacation spot.Arin: Dude, a trip to Maine? Holy shit! The U.S.’s 38th most visited state!
Danny: Visit the world’s second-favourite Portland! You have any idea how many lighthouses they have up there? Two! Two lighthouses. [the prize wedge depicts a lighthouse] There’s one of ‘em.
Arin: Which one is it, the bigger one or the smaller one? You’ll find out when you’re in Maine! - During the Wheel of Fortune credits all three get a chuckle out of the Outsourcing Manager being named “Sketch Ditty”. Coupled with Jacob’s hatred of the game:Jacob: I wanna say that this game has been a treat, but it’s more the company.
Arin: We’ll call up Sketch Ditty and tell him—
Danny: Give him a piece of our mind.
Jacob: I’m gonna find him and I’m gonna kill him. [everyone loses it]- This comes back around when Jacob returns for a second session and they reminisce about that moment. As they're in the middle of saying how Sketch seems like a pretty cool guy, Jacob suddenly doubles down and says that he wants to "straight up beat [Sketch] in the head with a wooden mallet". As soon as he does, both he and Arin start to ask themselves if they've crossed the line from "joke" to "inadvertent cyber-bullying" and awkwardly try to backpedal.
- And finally, Jacob’s American accent.
Finn Wolfhard from "Stranger Things"
- Because Finn is only fourteen, Arin tries to keep swearing to a minimum around him. Danny, meanwhile, is having none of it.Finn: Dude, my baby ears hurt.
- "If I wanted to hang out with a fourteen year-old anymore than I do now, I'd be on some government watchlist."
- When entering names Arin enters "FUNN", only to discover that's not for Finn's character.
- Finn's been apparently watching Game Grumps since the beginning, so in tribute Arin does a fresh fake movie trailer and brings back the Mickey Mousecapades voice.
- According to Danny his mom is a big fan of “Stranger Things”. Finn replies “I wanna talk to your mom.” They then do a movie trailer about Finn dating Danny’s mom.
- Danny lampshading that two thirty-something men have the same sense of humor as a fourteen year-old kid.
- Arin: Whoa, I’m in the upside-down.
- Finn attempts anti-jokes. Key word: attempts.
Sarah Carbiener & Erica Rosbe
- Oh, no! I unwrapped a blank piece of paper! Now I'll never know what's going on with the fellowship!
- Sarah attempts to start a literary analysis of the game's plot.
- After learning that Arin voiced Bruce Banner in Marvel: Ultimate Alliance, the girls request that Arin do a Hulk impression. He hardly tries.
- Afterwards, Sarah does an even funnier Hulk impression.
- At least it's better than the Rick impressions. Sarah even substitutes the mid-sentence burp by actually saying "burp".
Rhett McLaughlin & Link Neal
- Dan recalls the Grumps' stint on Good Mythical Morning.Link: You could shower a mule in our shower, it's that big.
Dan: Or a six-foot-tall Jew covered in mushroom soup. For instance.
Link: Yeah the drain doesn't work anymore, thanks for that. - The instructions for boxing:Arin: If you press A when your power gauge is full, you perform a super blow.
Link: I'm definitely in the market for a super blow.
Rhett: Can you write down those instructions for my wife? - Rhett & Link being super terrible at volleyball. Rhett shows Link the bright coloured circle that indicates where the ball will land only for them both to immediately miss anyway. Eventually they start to turn things around.Dan: I dived for it and it looked like someone throwing a dead body out of a car.
Link: Can you imagine what Donkey Kong smells like?
"Weird Al" Yankovic
- Their decision to play as the same generic male avatar, resulting in a contestant panel with three identical PC's.
- Category: Song/Artist. Al is the ONLY one to figure out "BY" is part of the answer solution.Dan: Congratulations on being the only one on this couch to not embarrass himself on that one.
- Al proceeds to defeat both Arin and Dan, winning the bonus round (with their help, as they decided they should just team up for the final win) and earning a little over $52,000.Dan: Yeah, it was rad! And thanks for coming in to our house and kickin' our asses...and taking $52,000 and leaving!
Al: I'll pick up my check as I go.
Jamie Lee Curtis & her daughter Ruby Guestnote
- In the first minute, Jamie incurred the wrath of Arin because she called dibs on Princess Peach, leading to him going barefoot.Arin: It's- it's a little bit of a power move, I'm not gonna lie.
Jamie Lee Curtis: Okay. Yeah, well, it didn't do anything.- Danny then expresses delight at the "cupcakes with little dicks on them!" that she'd brought as a gift. Apparently that was accidental, as the cupcakes just tipped over in the car while en route.
- Jamie has trouble with the Wii controller.Jamie Lee Curtis: I've just never held something this small in my hand.
- Jamie spends most of the game sassing the Grumps. Mostly through saying "Highly-paid professionals".
- Jamie's assessment of Arin (which they suggest he put on his autobiography):You seem like a decent person, except for your feet.
- A bit of a Brick Joke, but when they later discuss her appearance with Ben Schwartz...Dan: I didn't want to say this while she was here, but she's what, sixty? She's still so freaking hot!
Adventures in the Magic Kingdom with Ben Schwartz
- The first sub-game Ben pulls up in the game is the top-down race against Panhandle Pete. Trying to figure out how to beat it, Ben nearly slips an Actor Allusion before being teased by Danny about it:Danny: You wanna go fast, Ben?Ben: Yes, I gotta go fast...
Quiplash with Ben Schwartz and Thomas Middleditch
- After Ben gets "Hip Parenting Blogs" as a Safety Quip, it becomes a Running Gag for one of the players (usually Ben) to put the phrase "Hip Mom Blog" as a response, regardless of context.
- Ben learns that Dan's middle name is Dan without knowing his first name is Leigh, leading to the assumption that his name is "Dan Dan Avidan."
- One of the questions is "After killing Hitler, what's the second thing you'd do with a time machine?" Both responses are variations of "stop myself from killing Hitler." Ben and Danny correctly deduce that the two non-Jewish players (Arin and Thomas) must have been the ones answering the question.
TheOdd1sOut
- When they begin playing Super Mario Maker 2, James reveals that his first interaction with Arin was telling him, "You suck at Super Mario Maker!" (believing at the time that if he didn't tell him that right then, he'd never get the chance). Arin's pretty satisfied when James begins to struggle with the game himself and rage.James: Do you guys wanna play Tetris — [dies again] AHHHHH!
- James revels in his Promoted Fanboy status, getting excited when he hears Danny say "Arin..." in disappointment live in person.
- James says he watched Beauty and the Beast (2017) on an airplane and didn't like it. Dan asks, "Did you walk out?"
- Danny confuses Tamagotchi with the Hitachi brand of vibrators, and the boys discuss how you really shouldn't get those confused.
Roblox with Flamingo
- Arin, as his Roblox character PoopsJMcgee, plays a pizza chef simulator.
- Poops manages to kill one of her coworkers while messing up pizza orders, then goes to her angry boss and insists she calm down and get a reality check. In response to the manager's repeated angry reactions, Poops asks to be employee of the day. Another employee asks to be employee of the day instead, but before Poops can reply, "No that mounty can't make a pie if it slapped him in the paizon," she gets forced back to the kitchen while her boss and the other coworker shit-talk her.
Albert: This is all Roblox is, by the way.
Arin: [laughing hysterically] It's all drama?
Danny: Just like, Machiavellian pizza drama?- Poops then battles and kills another coworker, goes to her boss, and outright asks her, "i killed my coworker do i get a raise" while insisting her rival coworker should be fired. Poops then declares herself employee of the month.
- After getting paid, Poops asks her manager, "can you fire yourself" and the manager actually does. Poops rushes to claim the manager position... but it's claimed by her rival veryTuF! Cue Poops praising herself and spinning a cliché sob story about her sick kids to try and convince Very to give her the job.
PoopsJMcgee: id make a great manager
PoopsJMcgee: and you would make a great subordinate
Mortuary Assistant with Jacksepticeye
- Arin makes a bad joke and Jack jokes that Arin's at the top of his game, prompting more 5th grade humor from all three.Arin!Rebecca: What am I supposed to do then? Cum?Dan: Wh- Arin!Jack: Really at the top of your game right now. (Arin laughs)Dan: What is happening?Jack: "Mortuary Assistant"? More like "My dick"!Arin: Nice dude!Dan: Nice corpse. Be a shame if someone farted on it!(Arin and Jack laugh)Jack: Cavity fluid? I have some "cavity fluid"!
- Jack says he tries matching either Dan or Arin's energy, but gets lost as they're very different from one another when playing horror games.

Jack!Riddler: No! No! Cucumber! (Dan, Arin and Allie all laugh)
Crow T. Robot
- During the Bring Back MST3K livestream, the Grumps got to play Manos: The Hands of Fate the game with Crow in the full Shadow-rama. Needless to say, there were some funny moments.
- Crow starts off impatiently after the introductions:Crow: Press start already!
- Crow asks if the people at the beginning (Mike's wife and daughter) are related to him. Arin responds that they probably are, they have the same face as him. Crow says they have the same Mega Man genes as him and Dan says the daughter has his Bomber Man eyes.
- Arin points out a Servo in the game and Crow just goes "Hmmf", which the Grumps laugh at.
- Crow asks questions at different points about what features the Valley Lodge has as a hotel. The Grumps improvise different bits about features that wouldn't be good in a hotel, like a lot of skulls.

- Arin saying the painting looks like "Rapidly aged Michael Jackson with a mustache" really causes Crow to crack up.

- After getting a game over, Dan apologizes for embarrassing themselves in front of him and Crow responds:Crow: It's alright, fellas, we all try. (Grumps laugh)
Date Grumps (with Suzy)
The Lion King
- The intro in general, with Ego turning from Grump to Not-so Grump with a kiss. Doubles as a Heartwarming Moment.
- The developer of the game's name happened to be Barry, and typing the name into the option screen using the SNES buttons turns invincibility on. Suzy theorizes that it's the same Barry who is the editor, and that all Barrys share the same consciousness in a hive mind and share the same mystical god-like power.
- Simba's idle animation while distracted by a butterfly, and the juxtaposition of his close brush with death in the elephant graveyard.
- Bug Toss is the hardest level in the game. Suzy thinks she beat it until Arin reveals she didn't.
- According to Arin, the game looks like poopy diarrhea.
- After seeing the gorilla in Hakuna Matata fall into the water, they lampshade the fact the only cartoony moment in the game is not in the movie.
- Adult Simba has the ability to bitch-slap hyenas to eternity. And can Street-fighter-throw hyenas. While Suzy yells "FUCK EM UP! FUCK EM UP!"
- Suzy goes on a rant about why there are Snow Leopard enemies in a volcano.
- Arin does his impression of Heath Ledger's The Joker. And unusually for such a talented voice-actor, it seems to be the only impression he can't do.
- When it's Arin's Turn to run through the Can't Wait to be King level, he teaches the rhythm to himself by beatboxing to Simba's headbanging while ducking. He still loses, but it sounds really cool.
Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo
- On the thumbnail, it reads "My Wife and I Fight"
- Arin and Suzy's trash-talking is hilarious.Suzy: Want me to pass the mashed potatoes?
Arin: Um...What?
Arin: That taste good?! Your annihilation tastes good! How you like that, sist-ah?!
Suzy: Yeah, your cooking's not that good. I'm not having it.
Arin: Oh SNAP! OH SNAP! - Suzy entertains the idea of cosplaying as Morrigan. Arin says he would not be opposed to it.
- Suzy brags she beat Barry at the game to let the audience know she's good at it. While on the phone. Arin lets everybody know it doesn't mean anything since Barry doesn't know how to play the game.
- Suzy tries really hard to prove to Arin and the audience that she IS, in fact, good at video games. Arin never said anything to the contrary to begin with.
- Arin wins two of the three rounds they play, with Suzy winning the third. Suzy insists that the winner of the third round takes all. At the end, they argue about who actually won.
Cat Grumps
Yes, even these cute joke videos have comedy to be discovered. Heck. the fact that all they did was film their cats is hilarious in and of itself.
- Assuming the intro is Faux Symbolism for the Grumps, the open wide eyeing Mimi reflects the bubbly Danny perfectly.
- In Part 1, whenever the cam zooms in and out, Mochi reacts WTF are you doing?
- After getting High on Catnip, Mochi refuses to let go of his cat toy.
- When Part 2 starts, fans can recognize Danny Sexbang's hand by the size of his thumb.
- The brief tone shift when Mimi's laser chase becomes a rave.
- The Reveal Mochi's watching from afar.
- After Arin shuts off the laser, Mimi's like, "What just happened?"
- A minute later, he turns it back on, prompting Mimi's frantic re-chase.
