History Heartwarming / GameGrumps

--> '''Arin''': I bought her a parasol!

* In the midst of the shitshow that was the ProJared cheating scandal, fans were immediately concerned for Ross considering it involved his ex-wife Holly. The day after the story broke, [[https://twitter.com/RubberNinja/status/1126593742503157760?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Etweet Ross assured fans he was fine, he'd long since moved on, and spent the afternoon sharing art and new animations like he'd originally planned to that day]].

-->'''Dan:''' Oh my God! They're ''so'' in love! This is absurd. This is something you'd only do with someone you're trying to marry!
* Anytime Arin summons help in a [[Creator/FromSoftware Souls]] game and they carry the day. Any Souls player who's managing not to Hollow knows the comradie this can encourage in total strangers, and seeing the Grumps share in that is awesome.
* Their second playthrough of ''VideoGame/ALinkBetweenWorlds'', marking not only a return to an unfinished Zelda series, but also Dan being able to move on from a bad break-up that had emotionally soured his first run. His and Arin's commentary is also heaped with praise for the game's design mechanics.

* Arin, Dan, and the rest of the GG team's statement affirming their solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement and acknowledging and apologizing for their history of insensitive humor.

* In Episode 1 of their Second Playthrough of ''VideoGame/HouseParty'', after [[ItMakesSenseInContext achieving tricking themselves into crashing the party]], Danny talks about how the devs offered him a scene where he flirts with Rachel, as he said that she was cute in their First Playthrough. Dan turned it down, however, as he felt that that would be disrespectful to Ashley ([[NamesTheSame His Real-Life Girlfriend, not the In-Game Character]]).

* Their second playthrough of ''VideoGame/ALinkBetweenWorlds'', marking not only a return to an unfinished Zelda series, but also Dan being able to move on from a bad break-up that had emotionally soured his first run. His and Arin's commentary is also heaped with praise for the game's design mechanics.

** In Part 26, Dan starts praising the game's visuals and noting that "I liked this game right away, its starting to move towards love territory."

* Anytime Arin summons help in a [[Creator/FromSoftware Souls]] game and they carry the day. Any Souls player who's managing not to Hollow knows the comradie this can encourage in total strangers, and seeing the Grumps share in that is awesome.

** While played for laughs, their surprise that Jodi Benson didn't become a hugely in-demand voice actress after ''Disney/TheLittleMermaid'' is a sweet recognition of her talent.

* [[http://youtu.be/idOFblWFj1M?t=8m50s Back in college,]] Dan got a response from Creator/LloydAlexander, the author of Literature/ChroniclesOfPrydain & the inspiration for Disney/TheBlackCauldron. Sweet.

* At the end of the Sheep Vs. episode, Danny interjects with a short plug for his favorite NinjaSexParty music video. Halfway through the plug, Danny calls attention to Arin and Suzy's cat Mimi on the couch next to him. He then proceeds to melt from the CutenessProximity, fake-threatens to kill Mimi if the viewer doesn't watch the music video, and finally gives an adorable half-sob and says, "Oh, God, I love you, Mimi." His KindHeartedCatLover side is unbelievably cute.

--> '''Danny''': [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments This [[PunctuatedPounding is]] [[BattleCry for]] [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome AGRO!]]]]

* [[http://youtu.be/NgpEh_EaKe4?t=55s Here,]] we learn Zelda Williams, Creator/RobinWilliams' daughter, loves StarBomb!

** Not only that, but as soon as Jon's name is mentioned, Danny starts to act shamelessly flirty towards him, and only stops with Arin jealousy warning him that Jon belongs to him.

* Everyone being overjoyed at the end of {{VideoGame/Presentable Liberty}} at the fact that their bug friend, Otis, lived after all.

-->'''Ross''': Get better or I'll stab you Love, Ross

** And just before that, Dan's own story about how he rescued a large roach in his apartment complex that he had [[UglyCute made kind of a pet of and nicknamed Kevin.]] When Dan's landlord told him that he was calling an exterminator, Dan caught Kevin in a jar and set him free in the woods. Run free, Kevin!

* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eth29mOgl3g finale]] of ''[[VideoGame/AnotherWorld Out of This World]]'' has Danny and Arin taking a moment after the credits roll to sincerely praise the game�s creator, Eric Chahi, for his work and tell him what big fans they are. It's a surprisingly "d'awwww" moment for Game Grumps.

** They named their character in ''VideoGame/EndlessOcean: Blue World'' after her... sort of. "Haley Easternr".

* Danny quitting his day job because he can finally pay his bills from WebVideo/GameGrumps, NinjaSexParty, and [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Music/StarBomb Star Bomb.]]

* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eth29mOgl3g finale]] of ''[[VideoGame/AnotherWorld Out of This World]]'' has Danny and Arin taking a moment after the credits roll to sincerely praise the game�s creator, Eric Chahi, for his work and tell him what big fans they are. It�s a surprisingly �d�awwww� moment for Game Grumps.
-->'''Arin:''' Enjoy the rest of your life knowing that you�ve made something really cool.\\

** And on the less heavy side is that Arin and Danny both hate the term 'aspiring artist' and declare that if you write/draw/paint/create music ect. then published or put out or whatever then you're already an artist.

*** The Grumps then spend the entirety of Episode 19 essentially giving the audience a YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre speech. Though it becomes a MoodWhiplash at the beginning of the next episode when Danny reveals he told that he had no pants on the whole time.

* The 2014 Magfest panel has a few moments. One about the Windwaker episode of Danny revealing his history of depression talking about that subject lead to a longer than usual applause from the audience. The other is that Danny makes a very special recording for his 3 year old nephew Nash and thus he has the whole audience sing with him.

* Anytime Arin summons help in a [FromSotware Souls] game and carry the day. Any Souls player who's managing not to Hollow knows the comradie this can encourage in total strangers, and seeing the Grumps share in that is awesome.

-->'''Dan:''' Oh my God! They're ''so'' in love! This is absurd. This is something you'd only do with someone you're trying to marry!

** This moment has become more poignant since [[spoiler:it was revealed Arin was playing the role of Darth Vader in Jon's [=StarCade=] series.]]

* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eth29mOgl3g finale]] of ''[[VideoGame/AnotherWorld Out of This World]]'' has Danny and Arin taking a moment after the credits roll to sincerely praise the game’s creator, Eric Chahi, for his work and tell him what big fans they are. It’s a surprisingly “d’awwww” moment for Game Grumps.
-->'''Arin:''' Enjoy the rest of your life knowing that you’ve made something really cool.\\

* A minor one, but the fact that they (unintentionally) managed to get [[spoiler:[[VideoGame/SilentHillShatteredMemories Shattered Memories]]' good ending]].

* In the finale of ''VideoGame/SuperMetroid'', when they are about to get killed by Mother Brain, they seem to honestly care about the Baby Metroid as it comes in to save them [[spoiler: and when the Metroid is shot to death, they seem honestly heartbroken when it dies.]] It makes the following fight all the more awesome.

* In Episode 26 of Pokémon Fire Red, Arin and Danny high-five and Arin's ring hurts Danny's hand. What does Arin do? He kisses Danny's hand. Aww!

** Danny becomes honestly upset after watching [[spoiler: Agro fall to her death]], and Arin admits that he felt the same way when he first played the game.

* [[http://youtu.be/n6xe948L7Jo?t=7m38s Arin willing to kill for Mochi,]] & Danny wanting Mochi [[spoiler:[[ItMakesSenseInContext to eat off his naked body.]]]]

* Arin ''finally'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XuXka2iXom4 partners up with Helena.]] [[spoiler: Too bad the island is destroyed an in-game day later.]]

* Throughout the ''VideoGame/WarioWare'' series on Grumpcade, Ross consistently decides to create new usernames when starting a game, much to everyone else's frustration. Come part three though, they notice that his names spell out [[spoiler: Arin is cool.]]
* Danny's time on ''Game Grumps'' coming full circle when he finally beats Mike Tyson on ''Punch-Out!!'', the very first game he played on the channel that marked his debut. And for added effect, he has it uploaded on his birthday, March 14th.

* Ross and Jared's playthrough of Pokémon Snap. The two are so giddy and excited to be taking pictures of all the Pokémon, it's adorable to watch.

* Recently, fans were wondering why a Pac Man one-off went up when they expected the finale of “Sonic Adventure DX”. The final battle features Perfect Chaos destroying Central City, and they almost released the episode on the anniversary of September 11th. There’s been no official confirmation from the Grumps, but that was probably the best move.

* Arin and Suzy's entire relationship, which shows a lot during their “Metal Gear Solid V: Phantom Pain” playthrough, with both of them shipping Kaz and Snake, and talking about things that normal couple's wouldn't normally talk about publicly such as Suzy wanting to take amazing shits like Arin and both of them farting and joking about it.

* Arin's "joke Yoda" bit from SuperMarioMaker instantly became one of his funniest gags on the show...made even better knowing he got the idea [[spoiler:while messing around with a Yoda puppet on Jon's [=StarCade=] set.]]

* [[https://youtu.be/XE7YZbMprt0?t=8m30s Arin giving]] a heartfelt confesssion [[HeterosexualLifePartners loving Dan as a friend.]] [[spoiler: Ending with a disclaimer it's not because he's prescribed drugs due to being sick.]]

* Arin plays ''VideoGame/ChronoTrigger'' solo while Dan is sick. Immediately, the audience can tell how much this RPG impresses him. And his praise is completely {{adorkable}}. Example, [[https://youtu.be/yEMJXzfIA74?t=7m3s his genuine awe for the subtle tutorial]] at the game’s beginning disguised as [[AttractMode Millennial Fair]] [[JustForPun attractions.]]
** [[TheHyena Arin’s unbridled glee]] at [[https://youtu.be/88_8NVgGQqY?t=2m20s Frog joining his party.]]

* Arin and Danny's increasing disgust at Leisure Suit Larry MCL's objectification of women, especially when they have to seduce a shy nerdy girl, turn her into a slut, and [[spoiler:trick her into having sex with a teddy bear while Larry watches and eats chips]].

* Their content warning before [[spoiler: Sayori's suicide]] in "Doki Doki Literature Club." Considering the dark content of the scene, it's appreciated.

** After it's revealed that Yuri [[spoiler:cuts herself]], Dan's immediate response is "That poor girl."

* Arin decides to take the [[https://www.pottermore.com/ Pottermore]] quiz to discover his Hogwarts house, and is incredibly overjoyed when he is sorted into [[spoiler:Hufflepuff]], claiming it to be his favorite house, and because he already owns a matching robe and scarf. His enthusiasm is infectious enough that Dan is just as eager to take the quiz too, despite only having seen the first two Franchise/HarryPotter movies and having a passing familiarity with the franchise at best.

** They get deeply into the HoYay between Phoenix and Edgeworth, in what's clearly not just for the laughs but because they genuinely think it's a good pairing.

* To his own amazement, Dan very quickly gets invested in ''VisualNovel/PhoenixWright'', noting several times how he's completely caught up in the story and how they'll break each witness. They even couldn't bear to leave "Turnabout Sisters" unfinished after starting it, resulting in them playing past one in the morning.

** The series in general, once you realize that it's a ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'' game that Arin ''actually enjoys.'' Compared to his irritation with ''VideoGame/SonicUnleashed'' and his exhausted disgust with [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaCDiGames Zelda's Adventure]] (whose runs were uploaded concurrently with ''Mania''), hearing him having actual ''fun'' with a game - one from a franchise he has an (in)famous distaste for, no less - is incredibly uplifting.

* For the original ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog'', rather than force himself to play the whole game straight through, Arin opts to use the famous stage select code to simply give a taste of one level in each video before moving on, not worrying at all about actually beating it. The result is that while he's still outspoken about his problems with the game, he's much calmer and more reasonable about it without any insulting of the fans. And then ''both'' he and Danny gush over how cool the Star Light Zone is.

** And we've met the new editor now: [[https://youtu.be/k6bOCCvSy34 Ben!]]

* In the Dead Rising finale, Dan and Arin decide to watch someone else's playthrough of the final boss. They watch the video while giving all sorts of compliments and support to [[https://www.youtube.com/user/MrToastsandwich MrToastsandwich]]. Some fans of Game Grumps also wrote compliments to him and called him an "official Game Grump", [=MrToastsandwich=] also called it "the best 10 minutes of my life".

** In a later episode of "Sonic Adventure 2", Dan reveals that Music/NinjaSexParty had recorded a cover of "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'" by Creator/MichaelJackson and had even filmed a video for ''Under The Covers, Vol. 3''. After the "Finding Neverland" documentary was released though, he and Ninja Brian agreed without question to scrap it lest they risk upsetting fans (not to mention make sure Jackson's estate didn't profit off of royalties from their cover).
