History WebVideo / TableFlip

''Table Flip'' is a spin-off series of ''WebVideo/GameGrumps'' that stars Suzy "[=Mortem3r=]/Meeperfish" Berhow (wife of ''Game Grumps'' co-host Arin "Creator/{{Egoraptor}}" Hanson) and Barry Kramer (the Grumps' editor and uploader) and ran from 2013 to 2016. The show also had a number of recurring guests that are either Grumps or fellow [=YouTube=] personalities (ex: LetsPlay/{{Markiplier}}, LetsPlay/CaptainSparklez). Rather than playing video games, this series focused on tabletop games with a set and costume design that resembles the Victorian era.

* SpecialGuest: OncePerEpisode. Aside from Arin, Dan and Ross, they include: LetsPlay/{{Markiplier}}, LetsPlay/CaptainSparklez, Creator/BelatedMedia, Stamper, Spazkid, WebVideo/ProJared, WebVideo/TheCompletionist, WebVideo/{{Mega64}}, {{LetsPlay/Criken2}}, and [[WebVideo/HeyAshWhatchaPlayin Ashly Burch]].

* ''Pictionary'' as ''Grumptionary'', an alteration of the rules with whatever they felt like

* {{Irony}}: Cory Spazkid, a very talented artist and animator, is terrible at Pictionary partially because he tries to make his pictures TOO detailed in the limited time given, and because he allegedly may have been drunk out of his mind during the episode.

* {{Corpsing}}: Arin can't maintain a straight face [[spoiler:while acting out the traitor's speech during the "TabletopGame/BetrayalAtHouseOnTheHill" and everyone cracks up during the line [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GCrQ2NexsTU&t=14m15s "I can taste that beautiful man-meat now."]]]]

* NiceHat: Most players sport one as part of their Victorian outfit. Hat trading and hat stacking are commonplace. Also applies to their later Old West and Ancient Egyptian-themed costumes.

* SoleSurvivor: Only one player survives to the end of ''Bang!''. [[spoiler: It's the Sheriff]].

* TakeAThirdOption: One in the final moments of ''Bang!''. The Sheriff has two people remaining, both on one HP. One is an Outlaw, the other is a Deputy, but he doesn't know which is which. He can choose to shoot one of them on his turn. [[spoiler: The Sheriff instead opts to play an 'Indians' card, that deals 1 damage to every other player unless they discard a 'Bang!' card. Neither of the other two players has one, so they both die, leaving the Sheriff as the SoleSurvivor.]]

** [[spoiler:Arin]] in ''Betrayal at House on the Hill''. He doesn't actually ''learn'' that he's the traitor until halfway through the game, when the game moves to the second phase. [[spoiler:In the end, he's defeated by the "good guys": Suzy, Barry, and Mark.]]

''Table Flip'' is a spin-off series of ''WebVideo/GameGrumps'' that stars Suzy "[=Mortem3r=]/Meeperfish" Berhow (wife of ''Game Grumps'' co-host Arin "Creator/{{Egoraptor}}" Hanson) and Barry Kramer (the Grumps' editor and uploader) and ran from 2013 to 2016. The show also had a number of recurring guests that are either Grumps or fellow [=YouTube=] personalities (ex: LetsPlay/{{Markiplier}}, WebVideo/CaptainSparklez). Rather than playing video games, this series focused on tabletop games with a set and costume design that resembles the Victorian era. It's SugarWiki/BetterThanItSounds.

During February 2014, the first four episodes of ''Table Flip'' were released on the ''Game Grumps'' channel, with one three-video series released every Friday. Being a live action show with a high budget, there were often large intervals of time between episodes, with factors such as flying in guests and working around their schedules. Episodes were released in "seasons", releasing a different amount of episodes in each season. The first season released episodes each week and the second season released episodes every two weeks.

As of July 2015, ''Table Flip'' was funded by Sling, an online TV service with a monthly subscription fee, with new episodes uploaded to Sling exclusively every other Saturday, with the promise of being uploaded to the Game Grumps channel two months later. This was met with criticism from fans that were outraged at the need for a subscription to watch new episodes. To make matters worse, Sling is only available to people living in the United States, which prevents international fans from watching even if they're willing to pay the subscription fee. Barry and Suzy have both commented on this, with Barry saying that it was necessary due to how much of a high-budget show ''Table Flip'' was, and Suzy saying that they were locked into a contract and Polaris were the ones that set up the deal.

In February 2016, Suzy revealed that the last ''Table Flip'' episodes were being filmed, and although there would be ample episodes throughout the year, the series would be ending soon. In October 2016, the final ''Table Flip'' episode was released.

* ''Pictionary''
** * ''Grumptionary'' an alteration of the rules with whatever they felt like.

* ''TabletopGame/CardsAgainstHumanity''
** ''TabletopGame/CardsAgainstHumanity'' again, but with the Rando Cardrissian house rule.

* TheAce: subverted in King of Tokyo where Jirard the Completionist who is normally considered to be really good at Games is the first one to lose his monster

* BigBad: [[spoiler:Arin]] in ''Betrayal at House on the Hill'', [[spoiler:Markiplier]] in ''Shadows Over Camelot''.
* BlackComedy

* ButtMonkey: Arin [[spoiler: dies in or out of the game in half of the episodes. He also loses two tiebreakers, one by being shot by Ross and the other because Suzy guesses the number Danny is thinking of in]] ''[[spoiler:Dixit.]]''

* CloudCuckooLander: In the second ''Cards Against Humanity'' game, many of the cards Arin plays are assumed to be cards that were pulled randomly from the deck due to how little sense they make. In fact, he eventually reveals that literally ''every single card'' that was called out as a Rando card by the other players was actually one of his.

* EvilSoundsDeep: When the Traitor in ''Betrayal'' reads their opening narration for the Haunt, and during the Traitor's Speech.

* ExpositoryThemeTune: Board games are indeed a much older-fashioned medium than video games, and their friends are all Internet personalities.
* FaceHeelTurn: Right there in the title of ''Betrayal At House on the Hill''.
** HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: During the same game, [[spoiler:Markiplier]] claims they want to join the Traitor's side, then that they were just trying to lure them off guard right before enagaging them in combat. [[spoiler:Then tries to laugh that off when Arin rolls high.]]
* FlippingTheTable: Has yet to happen within an episode, but it's part of the Polaris intro and outro.

* HilariousOuttakes: During TheReveal of ''Betrayal At House on the Hill''.
* {{Irony}}: Cory Spazkid, a very talented artist and animator, is terrible at Pictionary partially because he tries to make his pictures TOO detailed in the limited time given.
** Apparently Cory was also drunk out of his mind during the episode. The statement is hard to find, probably said during a convention presentation. However, his behavior through the episode points to the statement being true.
* LargeHam:
** The Traitor during ''Betrayal''.
** Michael of ''Belated Media'' hams it up considerably as the mayor of Chocolatetown in the ''MetaGame'' episode.
** Again, the Traitor during ''Shadows Over Camelot''.
* LaughingMad: Arin, after [[spoiler: he wins Round 3 of One Night Ultimate Werewolf as the sole Werewolf.]]

* MurderIsTheBestSolution: [[spoiler:How the tiebreaker in 'Cards Against Humanity' is decided.]]

* RefugeInAudacity: The first episode - they are playing ''Cards Against Humanity'' after all.
* RunningGag: Not knowing what exact year the show's non-specific Victorian aesthetic is from.

* ShoutOut: In the first episode, instead of dressing up in old-timey clothing, Ross is dressed up as [[Series/DoctorWho the Tenth Doctor]]. Except the Tenth Doctor DoesNotLikeGuns and [[BreakingCharacter Ross uses a gun at the end]].
** Probably something to do with the fact that a) Ross really loves [[Series/DoctorWho the show]] and b) he already has that suit, seen as he wore it on his wedding day.

* SpecialGuest: OncePerEpisode. So far (outside of Arin, Dan and Ross), LetsPlay/{{Markiplier}}, LetsPlay/CaptainSparklez, Creator/BelatedMedia, Stamper, Spazkid, WebVideo/ProJared, WebVideo/TheCompletionist, WebVideo/{{Mega64}}, {{LetsPlay/Criken2}}, and [[WebVideo/HeyAshWhatchaPlayin Ashly Burch]] have made appearances.

* TeamPet: Fidonkers during ''Betrayal at House on the Hill''.
* ThatCameOutWrong: The Traitor's Speech for ''Betrayal at House on the Hill''.

* TooIncompetentToOperateABlanket: Again, parodied for the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YIVQ3uZqt1A shirt ad.]] Without the shirt Suzy can't flip a table, and Barry can't even ''sit down''.

'''Both:''' ''"Come on everybody, this is ''[[TitleDrop Table Flip!]]''"''
