- They're called the Game Grumps, but this isn't a game.
Which is cool.
- Oh, cool. They have a gaming channel too?
♪ (industrial intro) ♪
- Dan, do you like cooking?
- Oh, thank God. I thought you were gonna say--
- (both) Game Grumps!
- Oh, my god! I love Game Grumps!
- Awww. The Game Grumps.
- (Arin) Do you like cooking with me? - Is this a cooking show?
Oh, I love these.
- I have no idea who these people are.
- (Arin) It's an Easy-Bake ultimate oven!
- I haven't cooked with an Easy-Bake oven since maybe 2003.
- (Arin) Vanilla frosting mix. - (Dan) Okay, excellent.
- (Arin) Sugar crystals. - (Dan) Excellent.
- (Arin) Ooh! Easy to use.
- (Dan) They're like Neosporin but you can eat it.
- They're called the Game Grumps, but this isn't a game.
Which is cool.
Clearly, they can create diverse content.
- (Arin) Uh, cupcake pan.
- His hair looks like the guy on Workaholics.
- (Arin) Are you-- what the [bleep]?!
We're supposed to be making this!
- I'm sure that powder tastes nasty.
- (Arin) What even-- what did you even eat?
The brownie mix?! - Ew!
- Who are these guys?
I need to start watching this right away.
- (Dan) Dude, your teeth are so pink.
Are you eating more of that frosting? - (Arin gulping)
- This is what people do.
They just get high and they do stupid stuff.
- I like their vibe. They have stoner vibes.
- (Arin) Throw that in there. - (Dan) All of it?
- (Arin) Yeah, all of it.
- This is not gonna turn out well.
- (Arin) Tea-- - (Dan) Boop!
- (Arin) That's a teaspoon, right?
- I don't think that was a teaspoon.
- (Arin) "Stir in and press the mixture together
until it's thick and doughy."
- I don't think they know how to cook very well.
- I used to go to school for pastry and it just bothers me.
- (Arin) Where has this been? - Ugh!
That's disgusting.
- (Arin) That's what happens when you put too much water
in an Easy-Bake oven.
- There's nothing you can do but laugh when they talk.
I literally love them!
- (Arin) Press each ball down using the palm of your hand--
- This is like watching a How To Basic video right now.
- (Arin) You gotta put it on the tray first.
- They're just nailing it, every turn.
- (Dan) I'm sorry, did you want me to cook or not?
- (Arin) You have to put in a hamburger,
not a hotdog!
Just the experience alone--
- He just looks like he's covered in [bleep].
- (Arin) Just the experience alone of cooking with my friend Dan--
- (Dan) It's good.
- (Arin) It has really enlivened my spirits.
- The dynamic is just so cool.
They've clearly been friends for, like, ever,
and I think that's something that people really like
when they're watching content.
- (Dan) I think I pushed it back in. No!
- How long was it in there?
Ewwww!
- (Arin) Cookies! - That does not look like cookies.
I think you could tell what that looks like.
- That looks nasty.
- (Arin) Let's pour a little color onto there.
- (Dan) Of course!
- (Arin) To make it extra special.
- I feel like that's me just handing in a school project.
It just looks so [bleep] but I'm like, here,
let me put it in a nice font.
- (snickering) That is disgusting!
- (chuckling)
- (Arin) It's delicious! - It's so good.
- (Arin) Thanks, Easy-Bake.
- See, just two homies baking some cakes.
I liked that because it was so laid back.
- That's just straight-up stupidity.
It was funny but I wouldn't watch it again.
- They're always doing something kind of different
and it's so funny to me because it just shows how creative they are.
- I didn't know what they looked like, though,
so I didn't recognize their faces, but their voices, I'm like,
"Wait, these sound like the Game Grumps."
I love them. They're so funny.
- But I don't drink and you don't drink.
- (Arin) It's a double entendre.
We're breaking some Guinness World Records.
- Oh! Clever.
- Okay, that's kinda funny.
- (Arin) The first one is the most Jell-O eaten in one minute.
We're using chopsticks.
- (Dan) The record is 716 grams. - Ugh. Oh, boy.
- (Dan) Do we have a way to calculate grams?
Oh, stop! Did you really--
- They came [bleep] prepared.
- (Arin) Super snack pack Jell-O.
It's made with 10% real juice.
- They look like they're from a heavy metal band.
- Yeah, they do!
- (Dan) So we just want to pour it in?
Oh, god! Oh, it's everywhere.
- It's hard to eat Jell-O, though.
- (Arin) That's 864. - (Dan) Okay, okay.
- (Arin) So I have to eat that-- - Oh, my god.
- (Dan) Okay, ready? And go!
- Oh, it's easier to pick up than I would have thought.
- He's doing great! - He's doing great.
- (Arin crunching) - Oh, the sound!
- (cameraman) You ate 318 grams.
- (Dan) Wow, that's pretty good, dude.
- (Arin) That's almost half.
- I don't think this is funny.
- I don't even know these guys, but I feel like they represent
everything that I stand for in life.
- (Arin) So the next challenge that we're going to be doing,
should you choose to accept...
- (Dan) Ooh! Sh'mellows!
- You can kinda tell their stuff is scripted a little bit,
but they still react as if it's the first time
they've reacted to it before.
- (Arin) The challenge is the most marshmallows eaten
in one minute. Go!
(pots banging) - What is this music?
- It just sounds like someone playing Call of Duty
in the background.
- Oh, my god. He's gonna have a nasty stomach ache.
- I'm pretty sure any nutritionists or doctors that watch these
are really upset with the life choices that they're making.
- They's no joke to it.
It's just them trying to be funny.
- (Dan) You had 11 marshmallows. - (laughing)
- (Dan) You look ready to die right now!
- Oh, man, his eyes were just crying out for help.
- It's not that I'm not enjoying it, but it's not really my kind of humor.
- As much stuff as they do that's not gaming at all to me,
it's like I came here to watch you guys play Monster Hunters,
but, you know, I guess I'll stay for this.
- Guess what we're doing today, Dan? - What's up, buddy?
- (Arin) We're doing one of these!
- Oh, I've seen one of these things before.
- (Dan) As an added bonus, we're gonna watch Arin
eat some stuff. - I've used these before
and they're disgusting.
- (Dan) ...which might actually be the most disgusting thing
we've ever done on this channel.
(laughing)
- Oh, he's slobbering. That's so gross.
- (Dan) Tilt your head back and close your throat.
- Oh, wait! I've seen this GIF of it just falling out of his mouth.
- Ugh, no! - (Dan) Mmmm!
- Okay, this is a choking hazard now.
- That's disgusting. It's great.
- My boy's gonna choke. He's gonna gag.
- (Dan) Jesus Christ, Arin! Fine!
- I just hate looking into their mouth when they're chewing.
That's disgusting.
- (Dan laughing) - (Arin) MORE!
- To me, this almost kind of reminds me of Rhett and Link on drugs.
- They're literally comedians to me.
They're so funny and they're loud and they're exciting
and they sound like they're having so much fun
and I think that's why I like them too.
- (Dan) Let's help each over get over this.
- Oh, okay, see, I've seen some of their gaming stuff like this.
- Oh, cool. They have a gaming channel too?
- (Dan) Damn it!
- I'm gonna be spending hours watching these guys.
- (Dan) Goddamn it! - Are these bunnies?
- (Dan) Goddamn it! - Oh? Oh?
- Now you're stuck.
- (Arin) ...Rumble in the Bronx but backwards.
- Come on, find a way to get up.
- He's trying.
- (Dan) There we go. - And dead.
- (Dan groaning)
- The noises he's making.
- Wait, what is this game? I want to play it.
It looks fun.
- (Dan) You got it. We're a little husky.
- This reminds me of the VR chats and they just do stupid stuff
and just commentate over it.
- (laughing) - This is great.
- (Dan) The carrot's mine!
- I feel like this is the mindless stuff
we all need once in a while.
- Do they just get super stoned off camera
and just don't tell anyone so their [bleep]
doesn't get demonetized?
Because that's the vibe I'm getting.
- (Dan) Woo! The carrot's mine.
- Oh, my god. - (Arin) Oh, [bleep].
- Wow, this is some quality content.
They're so good at doing different stuff
because they're just so ridiculous in every situation.
- I really like the sit-down one.
I think the thing is that I really just enjoy watching them
because it feels like I'm one of their friends
and I like that style a lot more than I did the actual gaming.
Like, the gaming is fun, but I can't see them.
- (FBE) So those videos all come from the YouTube channel
Game Grumps. - "Game Grumps."
They have a new subscriber.
- (FBE) So do you like this channel from what you've seen?
- I liked the gaming portion but I'm not the biggest fan
of the skits.
- It's not my thing.
I wouldn't watch this again.
This is what I would call middle school humor, you know?
- Yes! - Yes, we love this channel.
Someone sent it to us because the way they laugh
reminded them of the way Kelly and I laugh.
Kelly just started literally binging them.
- I do like it.
You can tell they're totally themselves.
I feel like some YouTubers try to put on a personality.
I mean, you can't fake that.
- It was such a friendly kind of format.
I really like when I can connect to the creators
as more than just a viewer.
It feels like I'm hanging out with them.
- I like the channel.
I've been watching them for about two, three years now.
Their commentary and their banter while they're playing
is probably what kept me.
These dudes probably hate each other in the best way possible
and I'm here for this content.
- (FBE) So they started as a gaming channel, actually.
But then in the recent years, they've evolved to include more videos
kind of like the ones you saw today. - I really like it, though.
I know, too, it might have been a little bit of a shift
for the fans who were maybe there for the gaming content,
and then it started moving into something else,
but then again, it's just evolving with the YouTube culture.
- (FBE) What makes them stand out, to be able to find success
not just with gaming but with other concepts like this?
- I think it's just because they seem like really relatable people.
- The one with the really curly hair, he sings too, so I was like--
they do a whole bunch of stuff.
Through all the videos I have seen, I've seen never seen them
ever hate on anybody or anything.
- They've been building up their fan base from the beginning.
They've always been super grateful and super attentive to them.
From there, just as it kept on growing, and more and more fans
started following them, it's more and more that
we're part of that community.
- (FBE) Game Grumps primarily features Arin Hanson,
who's known as Egoraptor. - Is that the guy on the left?
Cool.
- (FBE) As well as Dan Avidan, who creates music with Ninja Sex Party.
- Wait, that's the Ninja Sex Party guy?
That explains so much. He looked just like him.
- (FBE) And they are an example of a YouTube channel
growing into an entire company with an office and staff.
- That's very cool.
- (FBE) So what do you think about the evolution of YouTubers
in general, where people who start small
like the Game Grumps are able to evolve in this way?
- I love it.
I think it's inspiring.
It's like entrepreneurs.
- Even the smaller YouTubers, they're starting to have staff.
It honestly shows how big YouTube is becoming.
- It's crazy to think that they were probably just sitting there
one day, like, hey, I just want to record us playing this game
and put it on YouTube. It will be fun.
And now they have this whole company and it's like-- I don't think
they even expected it to get as big as it did.
- It's the same with FBE.
The Fines literally just started in their apartment
and now they have this huge company.
- (FBE) And so in addition to everything else that they're doing,
Game Grumps have also developed their own video games.
- Oh, okay. That's cool.
- (FBE) They were behind the popular game called
Dream Daddy: A Dad Dating Simulator. - Yeah, Dream Daddy!
I remember that. Dream Daddy was [bleep] great.
We played it on FBE Live and it was just so fun.
- They love video games. They play video games.
They probably wanted at some point to make their video games.
They finally did, so I hope that was a dream of theirs that came true.
- Oh, god. (laughing)
Sorry, I know that game and there's a small part
of the LGBT community that's on this game.
- Just the fact that, yes, not only are they a YouTube channel,
they also have a company, they also do music,
and then also they make video games?
That's almost like taking it back exactly to where they started,
which is a gaming channel.
- (FBE) So finally, a lot of times when we cover YouTubers,
there's a good chances they'll be watching the episode
as they have been on YouTubers React before.
So if Game Grumps does see this, what would you want to tell them?
- I'm sorry I was very critical of you guys,
but, you know, it's just my personal opinion.
Just keep doing your skits.
If you're having fun, just continue to have fun.
- I'm definitely gonna go home and watch more of your videos.
- I love you guys so much for making Dream Daddy.
That was literally the best thing you could have ever done to my life.
- You guys are awesome. Keep doing what you're doing.
You're also ridiculous, so you should see someone about that.
- I hope I didn't offend you guys too much.
It's not that you're not talented.
It's just not my kind of thing, but, you know,
keep on keeping on.
You guys are obviously successful, so don't listen to me!
- I'm subscribing. I'm buying merch.
I'm watching all your videos.
I'm commenting on all of them.
I'm liking all of them.
I'm saving them to my archive. You guys are awesome.
