[@ant-fan]

Sometimes I forget how old Dan is. Then he does something like calling a Wii a PlayStation.

[@RabblesTheBinx]

At least he doesn't refer to all game consoles "Nintendo"

[@NihilisticBallman]

Mind you, after he has played hundreds of WII games for Game Grumps.

[@nerdstorma8427]

​@@RabblesTheBinx"Did you see the latest episode of Goku?"

[@frondreadz789]

I resent this comment as a older gamer who still calls consoles Sega

[@omg1337kkthx]

You know I wouldn't mind a 10 minute power hour where they go somewhere like Dave & Busters or a more traditional style of arcade, and play arcade games like this.

"he looks like tai from digimon" *THE CROWD GOES WILD*

[@stephenmahilum285]

When I first saw Jake I instantly thought he look like Tai while I typed in digimon classic Kairi or T.J lol

[@galahad5658]

Or maybe Max from Dinosaur King?

[@tamacat2001]

Exactly what I said!

[@jordannewthomas3293]

Looks like Tai but with less crazy hair.

[@Phantomsangel]

I thought so too. XD

[@CPTNSL0]

"Masturbatorium" is the greatest word I've heard in a long time.

[@johnlittrell1287]

[@supergrillmeister]

"You'll hate it!"

[@dstldthrlrmov-.-3256]

if its a Running With Scissors reference, i love gamegrumps even more than i did before

[@hankpymp453]

Oh you mean ur grandma's closet

[@KaladinVegapunk]

CPTNSL0 yeah, they get everyone to come at that masturbatory wankfest in the masturbatorium

[@douglewis7946]

"Press any button" "STOP PRESSING THE HOME BUTTON!" "YOU SAID ANY BUTTON!" The fact this was so genuine made it amazing.

[@Squinto]

Those Pseudo-Anime avatars are giving me flashbacks to those 'How to Draw Manga' books you could get at Borders. The ones that were 100% written by people who have never seen a manga before.

[@crimsonvampyre602]

I still have some

[@LeudieBlues]

It makes me laugh every time 🤣

[@Masterge77]

@Squinto Oh, you mean those books that were made based on the fact they likely watched a single episode of the Pokemon anime and thought all anime looked like that.

[@brackonstudios]

Heh, "Seen" a Manga? Like "Reading" an Anim- oh wait..

[@Envy_Dragon]

Oh my god, this one kid at my high school had one of those, and they would literally draw every single person as minor variations of the same pose. Different hair, different eyes, but arms and legs and feet and everything all identical. They had a binder of literally hundreds of these. Like good on them for persistence but part of learning creativity is branching out and trying things you aren't comfortable with. Having that arm point up instead of down, for example.

[@ricoanderson6626]

Nothing is better than a GG playthrough of Wii Shovelware

[@wariohenderson]

Chandler Kristoff Same here. If feel like they should reserve a specific schedule slot for shovel ware and poor reviewed games. They seem to be the most entertaining to watch. Haha

[@uhnnguhng9216]

yes

[@zidolos228]

I know can't believe this wasn't listed as part 1

[@SpongeyBubby]

I grew up with this game back in the day but in the end, it's still shovelware.

[@zombiehalo9588]

Honestly

[@taylorseries0049]

Arin: "Stop pressing buttons!" Dan: "Oops..." Arin: "You're hurting me!" Dan: "Oops..."

[@TrulyMarcy]

Power hour idea: Arin and Dan go to Chuck e cheese and play arcade games

[@asofterfall3046]

featuring Brian's daughter, Audrey, because you can't actually go in without a kid.

[@JShepLord]

How many kids do you think would be ecstatic that they were there though...

[@animeking]

Power hour idea: Arin and Dan go to Chuck e cheese and stand too close to small children.

[@alexandahazy6325]

Power hour idea: Arin and Dan go to Chuck e cheese and are immediately murdered in cold blood

[@vriskaxtereziotp]

Should be a main event or something so they dont get arrested lmfao

[@Read_Hard]

Enters pirate zone: *WELL HOWDY*

[@mr.paranoiac5082]

[@mediocreandworse59]

Okay they deserve a break from Zelda I'm impressed they've gone over 50 episodes without taking one sooner

[@ItsOnlyMikesLife]

We ALL deserve a break from Zelda

[@LeudieBlues]

Spoompls: “ZELDA DUMPED ME!!!”

[@EricForPresident]

Jesus Wore Jordans I needed the break haha

[@caam0111]

Eh? They took like 4 breaks during those 50 episodes. These are recorded in advance.

[@tangytablets5150]

Hopefully they get back to it and not abandon it. They were doing kinda alright with it.

[@telekiller7]

"I think I'm at a weird angle for the playstation" Dan says, while holding a Wii remote This reminds me of my dad, who literally thinks Xbox and Nintendo are the same thing, even though he's played on each of them with me for years.

[@radiantburrito]

He does in fact look like Tai from Digimon

[@jackgrieco3192]

Weeaboo

[@jackgrieco3192]

Jk I'm also a weeb

[@pwojo9776]

This makes me think of like what it might look like if a thing like Poptropica or one of those kid's game social websites was turned/converted into a console game. Like those adobe-flash cutscenes and off-brand, edgy but not edgy, anime-ass icons/avatars gave me war flashbacks.

[@gunnysmack3163]

Peter Wojewodzki How dare you disgrace Poptropica like this, they never had flash games, it was all in-world puzzle solving

[@PaleaRaptor]

"Why did the chicken cross the road, Dan?" "Why Arin?" "Because making games for the Wii is very cheap and easy"

[@shuheihisagi]

just realised Todd is voiced by Brian Beacock, He voices Krillin in dragon ball supers dub and most notably voices Agumon from the hit series; digimon data squad

[@mortua_conjuga]

I knew I recognised his voice.

[@WickedKnightAlbel]

He's also Monokuma. Sure would be interesting to see the Grumps tackle Danganronpa...

[@SuperGamingDude]

I half expected arin to get the 100 just like he got the 50 in the m&m series

[@FlutterLights]

I was just rewatching that video yesterday lol.

[@Squiggy2010]

Even in the video game world these carnival games are rigged.

[@FrostyFin]

funny Ø/

[@kuro13wolf]

how could you possibly rig skeeball i'm honestly curious

[@happygarlic13]

SuperGaming Dude o.O same here!

[@sigal42]

Dan's confusion during the ball toss was hilarious. Loving the content, game grumps, y'all are awesome!

[@pieman1227]

I KNEW it. The alien dude is voiced by Liam O’Brien, lol. Side note: there were 3 cast members for this game.

[@FuzzyStripetail]

Even though jajBa and phunk had identical scores after their respective chickens successfully crossed that heavy traffic-filled road the same amount of times, jajBa questionably earning the victory award was a huge phunk you to phunk.

[@SakuraAvalon]

To be honest, JajBa was a few seconds from breaking the tie.

[@eduardozavala4931]

I read that as jajba the phunk.

[@Martykun36]

last skyward episode was like 30 minutes long, let's give them a break

[@CaptainStringCheese]

im just afraid it's the end of the series.

[@moyasujigoku8401]

CaptainStringCheese It's not. They record episodes in advance so they probably just ran out of footage for skyward sword for the moment.

[@CaptainStringCheese]

@@moyasujigoku8401 a lot of people say that and then a series just dies. time will tell!

[@TheyLoveThemLLC]

@@CaptainStringCheese it's dead jim

[@CaptainStringCheese]

@@TheyLoveThemLLC yup. and a big fuck you to everyone who gave me shit for being "pessimistic". i love being right.

[@jupreindeer]

I don't believe it. This shovelware actually gave a sequel to a real game. Freeway was this stand alone game on the Atari 2600 where two players competed to get chickens across multiple lanes of traffic for points. It was always far lamer then Frogger. Yet manages to allow this version to be superior because (get this) the original could not move left, right or go backwards. One directional movement. I've heard that in some bars on Earth at some point in time, it was that one button operation that made the original a hit. (Because people had to literally be really drunk to find fun in a game where tapping one button at the right time was considered a skill to master.) EDIT: On second thought, Freeway did get an arcade sequel: Crossy Road. The announcer of that Stacker Clone sounds like a relative to 'Comic Book Guy'. (Simpsons)

[@travisshallenberger9486]

Dude! I was going to say the same thing! They even kept the same crappy Atari SFX. Just hearing it took me back. All the sounds from "some what horn-like tone" to "vaguely chickenistic squawking keyboard flutter".

[@faroshscale]

"We haven't done this since we were M&Ms" is such a bizarre sentence

[@Rainygirl3100]

I was a little sad there wasn't any Skyward Sword today but then Dan named his character "phunk" and everything became instantly better

[@Ngpicl]

*My Chicken Situation* The Game Grumps cookbook coming 2019

[@HnTr_VDH]

8:37 Arin makes a “chicken cross the road” joke the same the boring announcer does

[@Masterge77]

Never thought I'd EVER hear Arin make a Digimon reference.

[@Robin0928]

This is some good shovelware, but you know what is the best shovelware? GARFIELD: THREAT OF THE SPACE LASAGNA.

[@bfnmo7750]

WHERE'S SQUIDWARD SWORD???

[@TheEpicJoel]

Benito 7 My thoughts exactly

[@ShotgunLlama]

Belongs in the trash

[@LeudieBlues]

Hey Link, are you finished with this Arins?

[@timothymckane6362]

Arin dabs that game to death.

[@StringsNStrands]

Seems like just yesterday there was monopoly rage.

[@MCLe12]

8:37 Arin making a chicken cross the road joke at the same time Todd does. What impeccable timing.

[@lotus-prince]

That tower stacker guy...is he Augustus St. Cloud from The Venture Bros.?

[@VanceMan11]

Step into the Arcade Zone, Quizboy.

[@cassandra5322]

spot on!

[@lotus-prince]

yisss

[@DemonCatGaming]

Same voice actor. but he used an alias for his appearance in this game.

[@TwilightTheCabbit]

+Demon Cat Gaming Gee... I wonder why THAT is. It's a mystery.

[@adamcoleman8793]

Its moments like "I think I'm at a weird angle to the PlayStation" that's makes me question how experienced Danny is for a gaming show. Love him to bits bit boi its a Wii Controller. Boi love you xxxxx

[@galacticfire9727]

I hope this doesn't mean the demise of the Skyward Sword playthrough. It's been the biggest thing to look forward to after school (yeah sad life I know). I just hope they're only taking a little break.

[@certifiedbootygoon]

It’s not that sad. Some people are in their late 20s looking forward too it after work. If you enjoy it there’s nothing sad about it

[@ZERO9098767]

I'm 25, and, Skyward Sword is the best part of my days. I'm also living a life very similar to Danny's life at 25, though, (not on purpose, it just kinda happened), so, my life isn't all that exciting, anyways.

[@mikerice868]

Is that Bill Cipher with Temmie's eye and mouth?

[@galacticfire9727]

Thanks for making me feel like less of a total loser guys haha. Glad to see I'm not the only one who enjoys it after school/ college/ work etc

[@galacticfire9727]

Mike Rice Yes

[@SpeedDemonStar]

These VS one-offs (although I wish they'd do at least one more video of this game in particular) are my favorite type of video on this channel!

[@jarlbalgruuf2415]

THERE ARE SO MANY GAMES IN ONE!!

[@IKIGAIofficial]

i got your reference Arin, dont worry... PEPPER BREATH!

[@revilnovil]

Am I crazy of is that announcer I hear faintly the voice of friggin Monokuma?

[@revilnovil]

Oh my god that's despairingly wonderful

[@ccm2540]

Heck. The guy during the stacking game that Arin was making fun of is Liam O'Brien. (Gaara from the English dub of Naruto and Illidan Stormrage from WoW are his biggest roles)

[@DrBepis-jo7qt]

13:29 One of my favorite Dan quotes

[@Spleakism]

I love it when they start saying the "c*ck in my *ss" bit and start making each other laugh. I'd watch a 7 part series of wii shovelware if it included that.

[@jackcross4895]

Hope other's felt a flashback to Nickelodeon Guts when Jon wouldn't tell arin what the controls were. Feels good to be an oldschool lovely haha

[@Violyte64]

Ok I IMMEDIATELY thought the goggles kid looked like Tai from Digimon but I *did not expect* that to actually be said by either Arin or Dan in a million years holy shit I feel so validated

[@DemonCatGaming]

It brings me great joy that you guys played this

[@honwell9893]

"You're incredible at everything!" Of course he is, Dan. He's the videogame boy. He's the one who wins.

[@Handington]

I was at gamestop yesterday and saw this in the wii section! Oh my gosh!

[@IsaacRifkin]

Yep, I'm gonna need another one of these episodes there.

[@SleepBomber]

6:07 Woof. Arin's reaction to getting a shitload of basketballs in such a short amount of time made me laugh so hard I got light-headed

[@TimeNerd]

Finally older games from wii. Some of my favorite game grumps videos come from here

[@paytonrichards784]

"...Playstation, or whatever garbarge system" Immediately gets Playstation ad.

[@AaronTheBlackDragon]

You know a game is bad when you compare it to the M&M´s game.

[@Danewd98sChannelgaming]

I remember playing this! I was like 6 when I got this.

[@concks982]

OH MY GOD MY CHILDHOOD played this religiously with friends when I was like 7 don't judge me

[@matthewdavid2526]

Here's to hoping this isn't a break from Strike the Skyward

[@fluffynoses]

it probably is lol.

[@saxyentertainmentwithstans8915]

Or Garfield

[@PinguinodelRio]

Here’s to hoping this isn’t a break from Sonic ‘06

[@sigal42]

If it is, you can't blame em, the views on that play through have been crap sadly

[@emmigoesrawr6214]

Arin really dodged a bullet with that Paul walker comment oof

[@GyngeBread]

I'm not sure if this is true, yet I heard that the 'Chicken cross the road' is actually one of those jokes where you have to really think about it to realize that it's actually kind of messed up. Let me explain... The chicken represents a person, Crossing the road is Walking into TRAFFIC, and the punchline is a metaphor for the death... However where I heard this from is a reposted Tumblr page on Pinterest, so I (and the people involved with the Tumblr page) Could just be overthinking a silly kids joke... IDK.

[@Animelover-bk4tu]

I like how we went to the Pirate Zone and were greeted with "Howdy." Yes. The pirates main catchphrase. "Howdy mateyes."

[@That_Lady_Charlie]

arrr, cowboy!

[@RustyGreen21]

I was just going to say that looks like the digimon kid!!!!!

[@MoeChicken]

Boy, this must've been recorded pretty late at night. Dan actually seemed to get upset! I didn't know that was a thing.

[@MrAgumon4]

Funny how Arin makes a Digimon reference just before Takato's voice actor starts narrating everything.

[@psychogurl]

As a Digifan, I have never been more proud than I am at this moment. These tears of joy are for you, GameGrumps

[@SlippyJos]

I guess the phoned in existance of this game was contagious...

[@kamileon7065]

He said “great night everybody” but it’s only the first episode of today. Could Dan be implying... no... it’s not the end, is it?

[@GlitchDude]

I'm sad to announce that Game Grumps as a show has been canceled. It will soon be replaced by Savage Bros. Play, featuring Jake and Logan Paul. Expect a full channel transformation soon.

[@connorv3639]

Maybe the two uploads got reversed (so maybe Skyward Sword will be their afternoon upload. idk tho)

[@Kibaoftheleaves]

They didn't think to have the attendant in the Pirate Zone greet the arcade attendees in a pirate voice? "Howdy, welcome t' tha pirate zone, pardner."

[@30livesshow]

I love how Arin makes a Digimon joke, not even realizing that one of the narrators in the game is also the voice of the main character from Digimon Tamers (Takato Matsuki). It's reasonable that Arin didn't notice this I just find the coincidence funny.

[@mavhhh]

Oh how I LOVE THE WII

[@danstiver9135]

This game... looks like it was made in Canada.

[@leonishikino6873]

Jokes on you it was made in India

[@andrewpappas9311]

As a Canadian I have never heard of this game

[@SentinelGhost]

The animation of the characters does look like a lot of the Canadian cartoons I've seen.

[@Clara-Martin]

What do you mean

[@danstiver9135]

The intro features low quality flash animation with anime-risqué character designs. A lot of Canadian animated shows are like that.

[@KevinFrost]

this isn't monopoly.

[@luminous6969]

Watching Dan press the wrong button and back out of the menu brings back memories of when he used to do that on Super Mario Maker after Arin put in the level code and handed Dan the gamepad. WHOOPS!! Looks like you gotta enter it again!!
