History Heartwarming / GameGrumps

* Ross gushing over ''Pokemon Art Academy'' saying that while he enjoys playing video games as a job, his real passion has always been being an artist and animator, so any time he gets a chance to draw, he loves every second of it and while [[UncannyValley the drawings themselves are rather weird and unsettling at times]], you can still feel the effort he puts into them.

** On the same spectrum, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JDwSSYae_N0 this]] rather nostalgic tribute to the first year of Game Grumps. Doubles as a SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome due to its format (switching from clips to fan-animations to fan art), [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I1ALmZ5pUL0 its fantastic choice of music]], and its [[HyperCompetentSidekick Barry]]-levels of editing quality. [[TitleMontage The ending]] [[UpToEleven seals the deal]].

* Most Grumps Animated's are exercises for the animators to turn the Grumps' banter into something even more ridiculous. This ''VideoGame/{{Journey}}''-inspired Animated by [[https://twitter.com/nannaisdrawing Michael Nanna]] takes a break from the norm and turns one of Arin's introspections from a solo Q&A video into [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EIWgC66wSl0 a really beautiful short film.]]

* They get genuinely angry and/or sad when some of their favorite characters get killed in Danganronpa 2 and they cheer when they get to see them again near the end of the game.

* While they do crack jokes about Monomi/Usami (mainly regarding her soiling her diaper), Dan and Arin do feel great sympathy for her misfortune from the students mistreating and ridiculing her, as well as Monokuma brutally beating her up.

** Speaking of which, while they do crack jokes regarding Monomi/Usami's diper solings, Dan and Arin do feel great sympathy for her misfortune from the students either ridiculing her, treating her or both, to Monokuma brutally beating her up, its quite a warm sight to witness

* It's sweet to watch Dan become more and more of a shipper for Gundham and Sonia during their playthrough of ''VisualNovel/Danganronpa2GoodbyeDespair'', to the point [[https://youtu.be/BuFPhKqH7BY?t=2459 that he half-jokes]] about joining Gundham x Sonia fan forums.

* At the end of the one-off Lemmings episode on February 2, 2022, Dan reveals that he and Ashley, his long-time girlfriend, became engaged at some point during 2020, and married 4-5 months ago. He and Arin cheerfully talk about how lovely the wedding was, and Dan thanks Arin for being there and hopes that the lovelies in the audience are having similarly happy lives.

* In one of the [=RubberRoss=] World ''Super Mario Maker 2'' episodes, Dan gives a shout out to any viewers who work for Amazon, noting that it seems like a hectic job and they deserve more payment and appreciation than they probably get.

* [[http://youtu.be/TFJHqG6DG0U?t=5m51s Danny karaokes along to the Goonies 2 background music,]] ending with:
-->'''Danny:''' I think you're my best friend, Arin.
-->'''Arin:''' Aww.
** A later episode ends with [[http://youtu.be/sBJ7_2YW06w?t=10m50s Dan & Arin singing their love for the lovelies.]]

* Dan's RousingSpeech in Part 51 of ''Super Mario Maker'', leading to this.
-->'''Arin:''' That's all I needed, was a pat on the back from my best friend.
-->'''Dan:''' I'm your best friend? You're my best friend!

** [[TheHyena Arin�s unbridled glee]] at [[https://youtu.be/88_8NVgGQqY?t=2m20s Frog joining his party.]]

* When they discovered Creator/EddieIzzard had stated her preference for "she/her" pronouns after recording an episode of ''Super Mario Maker 2'' where they referred to her with "he/him" pronouns, Arin took the time to put an explanation at the start of the video, and even implied they wouldn't have posted it at all (or at least would have edited it) if Izzard hadn't also said she didn't particularly mind still being referred to that way. Arin adds that he supports transgender rights in general.

* 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 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 "Leaving 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).

* Matt and Ryan leaving to focus more on SuperMega, with everyone in the Grump office wishing them well. What's more, it was apparently Arin and Dan who approached ''them'' about it because they noticed their dedication to growing their channel while keeping up their commitments to the Grumps was borderline killing them.

--> '''Jon''': "I think Rock Tomb has a high miss rate."
--> '''Arin''': "I think when you leave my house... you have a high miss rate."
--> '''Jon''': "Awww! I think that was a really sweet thing to say! I'm not sure!"

* Halfway through Yoshi's Island Episode 5:
--> '''Jon''': "Who could ever be friends with a fucker like you? Me. That's who. And that's why we're friends."

--> '''Jon''': [My mom] makes [good stuff].
--> '''Arin''': Like you?

* In the 20th episode of Pokemon Emerald, Jon takes a picture of him and Arin relaxing on the couch. As they're talking about sharing it over twitter, it pops up on screen. The picture looks exactly like a picture you'd find on anyone's Facebook or Twitter: TwoGamersOnACouch, hanging out and smiling.
* In the Aladdin finale, Jon and Arin can't stop talking about how beautiful the carpet ride bonus stage is, even singing along with "A Whole New World". It's actually kind of sweet.
* In Kirby's Return to Dream Land Episode 2:

* Near the end of Super Mario Land:
--> '''Jon''': You've never once lied to me in my life.
--> '''Arin''': *sigh* I did. I did once. When I said I hated you.

* Episode 13 of VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2006 features [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=owlbbOm1E4A#t=459s Jon's story about a kid recognizing him and PeanutButterGamer at Disneyland]].
* Episode 20 of VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2006: [[http://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=fvwrel&v=WuGsRmEEx6s After the massive glitch while playing as Knuckles]], Jon shouting and begging Arin to come back, coupled with an AnguishedDeclarationOfLove, and then telling him he knows neither of them can do this alone. You know, [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments once you stop laughing]].
* Episode 23 of VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2006: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e52HcmapB4M Jon and Arin being excited about]] VideoGame/Bayonetta2 being a UsefulNotes/WiiU exclusive.

* In Part 42 of the Sonic 06, the first episode of the Shadow Campaign, the episode it [[SickEpisode entirely dedicated to telling the story of how sick the Grumps became over Magfest]]. Jon relishes in telling the embarrassing aspect of the [[VomitIndiscretionShot "Clear a Path" story]], but part of the story that is downplayed is how Jon was taking care of a completely miserable Arin (who was shivering uncontrollably and delirious) while he himself was also sick and "afraid of catching whatever disease Arin's got".

-->'''Jon:''' I'm gonna pause this... Are you fucking implying that you w- ''of COURSE you were too sick to get it!'' It's not like you were being a douchebag, what? I would've asked you for fucking SEVEN Powerades!!!

--> '''Jon''': "Awwwww, Cookie Country!."

--> '''Jon''': "Do you just ''see'' a girl you wanna marry, because I'm worried for you if you're walking around being all like, 'I wanna marry her!'"
--> '''Arin''': "No, not in public, in my ''house!'' Because she lives with me."
--> '''Jon''': "''[giggling]'' Awww, that's even cuter, stop it!"

* From another Sonic episode...
--> '''Arin''': I don't really care anyway, I was just filling time.
--> '''Jon''': BAPADABOOP BOOP BEEP- What do you mean 'filling time'? I'm not good enough to be time alone? I-I can't be your time? You have to fill the time with me?
-->'''Arin''': Uh yeah...I have a good time when I'm with you.
-->'''Jon''': *Laughs happily.*
* From Sonic '06, Jon actually having ''fun'' as Blaze. He even compliments her, saying she's cute and reminds him of [[WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}} Dot]].
* From yet another Sonic '06 episode (75 to be precise): Jon storms out of the room while Arin makes noises, and "fires" Barry. But when he's coming back, Jon is apparently asked by Barry if he was serious, and the mic picked up his reply. It's a silly moment but sweet at the same time.

* Near the end of Mario Party 2 Revengeance Part 6, Arin makes a joke about calling a "Side-kick rental" service and asking to refund Jon and replace him. When Jon tells him that he heard the whole thing, Arin says he was [[BlatantLies talking to his karate instructor, who taught him how to "side kick"]]. By the end, after a high five, Jon says something about hurting the ones you love without realizing, to which Arin responds by calling side-kick rental back up to say he didn't mean what he said. Jon still gets upset at him for lying though.
* In Sonic 06 part 78, Jon gets a call from his mother, who he puts on speakerphone for the audience. She called him to tell him his father [[{{MinorInjuryOverreaction}} survived a dentist operation]], and acted really shy when told she was on the show. The entire exchange is filled with adorable. In a bit of Meta-heartwarming, the fans seem to have taken a liking to her, calling her [[{{FanNickname}} MomTron]].

* In Sonic 06 part 85, after getting their sweet revenge on Sonic as Silver (Complete with evil laughing from Arin) they agree that the whole channel was worth it because of the friendship they've forged through it.

-->'''Jon''': "You know what's the compliment that we get about our, like, fanmail or whatever that makes me the happiest every time I see it?"
-->'''Arin''': "What's that?"
-->'''Jon''': "It's when people are like: "Fuckin... Whenever my day sucks, I watch Game Grumps and it's better." And I'm like... There is a reason to do this."

* Any moment, especially in Super Mario Bros. 2, Mega Man 2 or Jackal, where Dan makes Arin burst into uncontrollable laughter. While it's sad that Jon left the show, it's clear that Arin and Dan's friendship is just as strong.
** Even better in hindsight, in the finale of "Super Mario Bros 2" Arin very casually asks Dan "Hey...do you want a pretzel?". He super casually opens a bag of pretzels and gets relaxed as Dan kicks ass in the finale of the game. It's so subtle, but you can tell this was the point Arin got relaxed enough to go "This is gonna work out fine."

-->'''Arin''': If he's seen that and that upsets him, that upsets me, because he's like, my hero.

* During VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaI run, Danny takes a moment to ask Arin if he's got any messages along the lines of "Game Grumps saved my life". He confirms that not only have they got messages like that, they've got messages about how people have got into relationships through being fans of the show and wearing the merchandise in public, causing someone else to recognise it and strike up a conversation...

* Also during VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaI run, Dan tells a few stories involving his dad. The only one where he doesn't do an impression of him with a silly accent is when he talks about when his dad quit smoking.

* In one episode of ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros3'' Danny and Arin talk about the uncomfortable factor of becoming well known that it can be risky because it becomes harder to tell who is being nice and who just wants something from them. Arin admits he doesn't have that problem, it sort of helps his confidence but he knows Suzy loves him since she was talking to him before he became Egoraptor. Suzy loves Arin Hanson the artist not Egoraptor the Awesome series guy.

* Part 29 of the Kirby's Epic Yarn playthrough. Dan brings up his Bar Mitzvah in Israel and how proud of himself he felt after getting through it. Also it was one of the few times he and his Israeli grandfather were particularly close, due to the living distance between the two of them.
* The Epic Yarn finale reaffirms just how damn happy and adorable the game is. Danny can barely contain himself at the end.
* During the Wind Waker run, Danny tells the stories of how his parents and grandparents met. Both of which are ''adorable.''

* The 2014 Magfest panel has a few moments. One about the Wind Waker 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.

** They named their character in ''VideoGame/EndlessOceanBlueWorld'' after her... sort of. "Haley Easternr".

* In Part 4 of VideoGame/PokemonFireRed, we hear three quick stories about how Danny & Arin got along with insects. A little funny, but also heart warming in how they loved animals then as they do now.

* Arin sums up his and Danny's roles during the VideoGame/PunchOut Wii Series:

* [[HeterosexualLifePartners Arin, Danny, & Barry show love for each other]] during [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OzPDUp4xRag an episode]] of VideoGame/PokemonFireRed.

* 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!

* In one episode of Super Mario Sunshine, Arin and Danny talk about getting emails and letters from fans, and mentioning how a lot of them have fans starting them off by [[ApologisesALot apologising for bothering them]], then assuring viewers they don't need to apologise, because the Grumps like receiving mail from fans. Aw!

* While Danny is out of the room, Arin tells the viewers to send emails to Danny because he's feeling down during episode 7 of the Pokemon Fire Red playthrough.

* Episode 55 of Pokemon Fire Red is the first episode of Game Grumps that takes place after Danny's trip to New Zealand. He says that while he was there, he met a lot of fans on the streets, many of whom were pleasantly shocked to see him there.

-->'''Danny:''' [laughing at one of Arin's jokes] I've missed you.

* In the second episode of Gunsmoke Arin massages Danny's hand after some nasty button smashing, thanks Barry.

-->'''Danny''': Your hair smells great, by the way.\\
'''Arin''' ''(tearfully)'' Thank you...\\
'''Danny''': I know, I know- Wha- no, don't nestle into my lap!\\
'''Arin''': I bought her a lace parasol!
* [[http://youtu.be/idOFblWFj1M?t=8m50s Back in college,]] Dan got a response from Creator/LloydAlexander, the author of Literature/TheChroniclesOfPrydain & the inspiration for ''WesternAnimation/TheBlackCauldron''. Sweet.
* [[http://youtu.be/_pGuG5u-LyM?t=17m Danny hugging Arin]] [[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLRQGRBgN_EnqsghkO2z9dR_m2Cf8Du1q5 after the hell]] that was [[VideoGame/HeartOfDarkness Heart Of Darkness]].

* In Episode 109 of Pokemon Fire Red, Danny FINALLY mentions WebVideo/{{JonTron}} by name for the first time in almost 2 years.

--> Guys, they might have been doing a thing where they decided not to talk about Jon on the show until they felt Danny's place as "not so grump" was solid. Like, no one wants a show where you bring on a new person and all you do 24/7 is talk about the old person; crossing 109 kind of cements Danny's place just as sturdily as Jon's in the show. :) Jon and Danny have both equally earned the title of "Not so Grump" :D --'''Jillian Ickes'''

* Arin showing Danny the Wing Cap level in Super Mario 64. Just their excitement at the level is very sweet.

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

* 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.
* In part 15 of their playthrough of A Link to the Past Arin talks about Suzy impersonating someone they know in improv class and laughing so hard at it. Danny says that everyone else found it funny but Arin thought it was especially hilarious because he loves Suzy so much. Equating it to laughing extra hard at your crush's jokes.
-->'''Arin''': Suzy's a funny girl.

* The beginning of X-Men Mutant Apocalypse has Danny and Ross giving a heartfelt thanks for their two year anniversary on Game Grumps. Notably, Danny talks about how he knew he would be seen as the ReplacementScrappy for Jon and would be 'the most hated man on the Internet', but Arin encouraged him to 'just be himself.'

* Ross gushing over Pokemon Art Academy saying that while he enjoys playing video games as a job, his real passion has always been being an artist and animator, so any time he gets a chance to draw, he loves every second of it and while [[UncannyValley the drawings themselves are rather weird and unsettling at times]], you can still feel the effort he puts into them.

* The original release of Part 32 of Sonic Adventure DX was criticized for mentioning personal information of someone whose walkthrough Arin and Danny were using and getting frustrated with. Almost immediately upon hearing this, Arin and Danny came on to Reddit to apologize for their behavior and promised to edit out the offending material, despite the walkthrough's author not seriously offended by it in the first place.[[note]]Although like the Grumps, he was worried about the possibility of being doxxed.[[/note]] The edited version was up within a day.

* 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.

* In episode 78 of Bloodborne, Arin talks about the night he decided he wanted to have Dan on the show if Jon ever left or got sick. "That was the moment that I knew." Dan makes a typical self-depreciating joke, but you can tell he's a bit touched.
* 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 while messing around with a Yoda puppet on Jon's [=StarCade=] set.

-->'''Danny:''' Mom, you know you made all this possible.
-->'''Danny's grandma:'''YOU made all this possible.

* In part 9 of Katamari Forever, Dan tells the story of his kindergarten teacher, who brought in an acoustic guitar and sang for the group. Dan would go to the front of the class and sing along, with the teacher encouraging him and everyone else to join in (Although, according Dan, no one else joined in). Dan then reveals he got in touch with the teacher's son and asked him to tell him thank you. The son's response? That it would mean a lot to him. Dan even says that he ''may not have even become a professional singer if he didn't gain that encouragement.'' Also keep in mind that this was around THIRTY years ago, when Dan was five. He never forgot that kindness.

* At the beginning of VideoGame/EarthBound, one of the prompts is for "your favorite thing". What does Barry put? "Ross"

* At the end of Part 12 of Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door, Dan says he is "falling in love" with the game, saying that it's cute and fun and makes him feel good. [[ToughActToFollow A lot of fans love this game]] [[JustForFun/OneOfUs and it's great seeing that Dan is now one of them.]]

* Upon learning that [[ShesAManInJapan Vivian]] of Paper Mario: Thousand Year Door is a trans character (in Japan, anyway), Dan and Arin are clearly impressed that Nintendo would make a progressive move in the early 2000s.
** In episode 40 of Thousand Year Door, they finally talk to Luigi, who offers to tell them about his adventures. Dan says [[BrutalHonesty no]] and walks away...[[AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther then walks back to Luigi and makes a "mwah" noise.]]
--->'''Danny as Mario''': Love you, Bro.
** Episode 46 of Paper Mario features the debut of the Baby Yoshi, whom Dan [[CutenessProximity IMMEDIATELY falls in love with]] and names Snurglez. Dan's pure joy over his "little dinosaur friend" is adorable.

* Training Dan in playing {{VideoGame/Overwatch}} is nice in of itself, but in the second round as Mercy, Arin and Suzy both insist Dan (as Mercy) flies with a Pharah that's on his team. While it makes sense mechanics wise, it's also cute considering that one of the most popular Overwatch ships ''is'' between Mercy and Pharah. You will never hear "I wanna fly with you" quite the same way again. This becomes doubly true when it's revealed that Suzy and Arin play Mercy and Pharah.

** Part 29 has them reading another risque ''Sonic'' fanfiction; when [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Peach]] mentions how she caught her ex cheating on her, [[HappilyMarried Arin]] let out a BigWhat in response. Looks like the fic unintentionally hit one of Arin's [[BerserkButton Berserk Buttons]].

* 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 trick her into having sex with a teddy bear while Larry watches and eats chips.

--->'''Dan''': Awww! Seahorse friends!

* 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 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.

* 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 the VisualNovel/DanganronpaTriggerHappyHavoc playthrough, it is revealed that Chihiro was actually a crossdressing guy. However, the way this is initially phrased ("she was really a he!") makes it sound like Chihiro was a transgender girl. Because of this, Arin ''immediately'' comes to Chihiro's defense and switches to using they/them pronouns when referring to him for the rest of the trial, as well as [[WhatTheHellHero calling the other characters out]] for possibly misgendering him.

* 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]]).

* Part 89 of ''Super Mario Maker'' has Danny having some more fan boy squeeing when he brings up he watched King Kong vs. Godzilla. It's also sweet that Arin was disappointed he wasn't in on the watch. Danny goes on to be a BigNameFan for Matt Frank, a frequent Godzilla artist for IDW, who in turn is also a BigNameFan of Ninja Sex Party. To make it even sweeter for Danny's birthday Matt Frank drew up the group Danny thought up in elementary school: The Stegoroids.

* When they discovered Creator/EddieIzzard had stated her preference for feminine pronouns after recording an episode of ''Super Mario Maker 2'' where they referred to her with masculine ones, Arin took the time to put an explanation at the start of the video, and even implied they wouldn't have posted it at all if Izzard hadn't also said she didn't particularly mind still being referred to that way.

* In several episodes[[note]]''Dark Souls III'' Part 52, ''Pokemon Sun'' Part 3, and ''Sonic Forces'' Part 18[[/note]] Arin says that if he ever has daughters, he wants to name them Lily and Violet because they'd be his "little flowers" and he wants to watch them grow. Dan gags because of how sweet the sentiment is.

* Arin loaning Dan money to help get NinjaSexParty out of the red.

* In the VisualNovel/DanganronpaTriggerHappyHavoc playthrough, it is revealed that Chihiro was actually a crossdressing guy. However, the way this is initially phrased ("she was really a he!") makes it sound like Chihiro was a transgender girl. Because of this, Arin ''immediately'' comes to Chihiro's defense and switches to using they/them pronouns when referring to him for the rest of the trial, as well as [[WhatTheHellHero calling the other characters out]] for repeatedly misgendering him.

* In the VisualNovel/DanganronpaTriggerHappyHavoc playthrough, it is revealed that Chihiro was actually a crossdressing guy. However, this isn't made clear at first, and one could easily assume he was a transgender girl. Because of this, Arin ''immediately'' comes to Chihiro's defense and switches to using they/them pronouns when referring to him for the rest of the trial, as well as [[WhatTheHellHero calling the other characters out]] for repeatedly misgendering him.

* At the start of their "Part Time UFO" playthrough, Danny and Arin happily state that, due to fortunate scheduling circumstances, they finally have a week where they can play games together in the same room, after months of having to be in separate locations and record together virtually via Discord due to social distancing regulations for COVID-19 . They warmly say how great it is to see each other, Dan gushes, "I love you, man!", and Arin informs the audience that it took them three hours to start recording because they spent that time talking and hanging out in person, which was probably the first time they've had the chance to do so in months.

* At the start of their "Part Time UFO" playthrough, Danny and Arin excitingly claim that, due to fortunate circumstances, they could finally play a game after months apart [[note]]Although, it's temporary, since covid social distancing is still in affect[[/note]]. Arin said they were 3 hours late in the sessions because they spent that time talking in person, which was probably the first time in months.

-->"However, we cannot make this statement without acknowledging out own history. It is EXTREMELY necessary that this be said with the context that Game Grumps has posted content for many years, and in those early ones we used hurtful language and hurtful jokes, sometimes at the expense of POC, black, gay, or trans people. There is no excuse for this. For those who we've hurt with our words, from Arin, Dan, and everyone at Game Grumps, you deserve an apology. We are deeply fucking sorry. We shouldn't have had to have made these sorts of mistakes in order to be better, we shouldn't have had to hurt people to learn. You also shouldn't have had to wait this long for a formal apology for it. We believed that simply stopping that kind of behavior was enough, but we understand that the hurt of those affected deserves to be acknowledged, and the problem deserves to be talked about openly. You deserve respect, and we did not give you that respect in those moments. Fuck that. We have to be better."

** Part 29 has them reading another risque ''Sonic'' fanfiction; when [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Peach]] mentions how she caught her ex [[YourCheatingHeart cheating on her]], [[HappilyMarried Arin]] let out a BigWhat in response. Looks like the fic unintentionally hit one of Arin's [[BerserkButton Berserk Buttons]].
