[@KhanaHatake]

Arin's true bafflement in every "What are you doing, man??" gets me every time

[@ethereality1565]

SAME i can’t deal 😂😂

[@bassbullet-sdtgc]

the way arin has so much emotion when this happens like he's so genuinely confused by dan fumbling with controls and i love it

[@YourWickedFuneral]

Well I mean like, the controls are usually right in front of him. It’s like is he panicking and just clicking shit? Or is he just not paying attention? Either way it’s hilarious

[@DeathnoteBB]

@@YourWickedFuneral He has big thumbs. I think his fingers just genuinely push the wrong buttons

[@yancamb2202]

"What are you doing, man?" Floors me every time.

[@pokesonav]

It's so ironic how Dan keeps accidentally finding User Guides and Instruction Booklet and Arin's like "I've never seen this before"

[@oivatank]

It's like the opposite of Arin who ignores tutorials, while Dan accidentally stumbles across them all the time XD

[@Lucifersfursona]

“What, do you not want helpful tips?”

[@BigGrabowski]

​@@Lucifersfursona That would be the most amazing king-me of Arin ignoring a very clear "you NEED to read this" from the beginning, and Dan oopsie-doopsying the menu to reopen it later.

[@MrSilviusBrabo]

Iconic*

[@pokesonav]

@MrSilviusBrabo What? No, I said "ironic"

[@hoppy2829]

The "Are you hacking my switch dude?" Is so genuine.

[@chaosmiles07]

Ah, the dichotomy of the Grumps. _"Arin..."_ *"DAN!"*

[@dabois8280]

It happens because Dan has thumbs so big it could be considered a mha quirk

[@lumarious]

😂

[@toddelmsworth640]

Like a New Jersey cop once said, “Jimmy, get over here, ya gotta see this kid thumbs! They’re like E.T. thumbs or somethin’”

[@castaway2850]

THIS COMMENT IS SO OUT OF POCKET IM CRYING

[@ScratchedSpeed]

This wouldn't be nearly as funny if Dan didn't, every time without fail, *refuse* to hit the actual back button. He always tries to go deeper as if that will at all help and it's hilarious.

[@cthulhluftagn3812]

The fact that this happanes often enough you can make a compilation makes me smile

[@skippythealien9627]

Yeah it'd be one thing if it happened once or twice...but the fact that there's enough content for a 13+ minute video is hysterical

[@AgentVamp]

happanes? it's happens, dude

[@ashleyrothn313]

​@@AgentVampshut up.

[@brunopereira-xd9is]

@AgentVamp i think he knows, dude.

[@Elethriel]

@@AgentVampwow what an elitist prick lol. he made a spelling error, whoopeee, you're the greatest.

[@LauraCrampton]

There's one from... ah, one of the Zelda games he played where he kept falling off the side and just cursed out, "My fucking thumbs!"

[@formerJIM33333]

That was from A Link Between Worlds

[@jNetDowling]

The best part of Dan bringing up the calculator is that in his panic to bring back the game, he in fact brought up a second calculator.

[@punkinlady1039]

Dan’s thumbs are the underrated villains of playthroughs where he’s in the drivers seat

[@jbaby362]

🤣

[@monpetitchouxpastry]

The calculators thing really gets me 😂😭😭😭

[@entorri]

The fact that this video is 13 minutes long makes it immediately hilarious

[@chrishei3111]

Damn dan has been sucking at his job and killing it for years, really inspiring stuff

[@roadtripwarrior]

a lesson to be learned here for sure.

[@slantia5]

A role model for the ages

[@maddieb.4282]

I feel like even though it’s a video game show, pressing buttons is actually sort of a minor part of Dan’s job lol

[@anniesmith6165]

10 years now

[@Lucifersfursona]

That calculators one just shatters me “BOOM BABY extra calculators!!!” “...Lemme just scroll through all these calculators to get back to dark souls 3,,”

[@analogicparadox]

Why do you always do this YOU ALWAYS DO THIS

[@superkirby49]

Me when Yoshi runs away at the beginning

[@josefzalusky7307]

This is either _because_ Arin usually plays on GG, or the _reason_ Arin usually plays on GG🤣

[@pengabob]

Dan is like a father that plays games with their kids all the time to be supportive but still has no clue how it works. Arin is definitely the child here.

[@bekss3]

Everytime Dan fumbles with a 3+buttons controller I think back to the It Takes Two part where Dan struggles to go forward while Arin shows off his Videogame Boy skills

[@Lana_305]

This is Dan's version of "Saying Arin Like A Disappointing Mother"

[@sweetpea2604]

2:47 I this is one of the few times Arin has been legit mad at Dan XD

[@rawbyntrash]

I love when Arina is yelling at Dan as he continues to press the back button

[@sunniecolors]

BUTTONS!

[@danganronper6278]

Dan has such a grandpa vibe. Specially how he acts just like mine trying to work a phone

[@ashleymarino2403]

Friendly reminder that Dan is, by definition, a professional gamer

[@sweetpea2604]

He’s a professional in the fact that he gets paid, not that he’s skillful 😅

[@acerola3576]

EXTRA CALCULATORS FOR DAYZ

[@karkleisdead4225]

I was eating spaghettios when the calculator bit came on and I proceeded to choke on a circle noodle for like 3 whole minutes during

[@ethereality1565]

this comment cracked me up so much. first of all i hope you’re recovered, and also i really appreciate you appending this already-funny statement with “during” bc my game-grumps-addled brain can never hear that word the same. “you never choke on my circular noodle for 3 whole minutes 𝓭𝓾𝓻𝓲𝓷𝓰”

[@karkleisdead4225]

@ethereality1565 OMG IM GLAD YOU CAUGHT THAT LMAOOO-- watching the bloodborne series rn and was reminded of the "during" gag. Unfortunately it is now one of the many things my brain forces me to say 24/7

[@zxadvent19]

That very first “What are you doing, man?” always gets me.

[@landobridgeman]

The fact you could make a 13+ minute long compilation of dan doing this is kinda amazing

[@jimoftehgray]

I can’t blame Danny for these shennanigans 😂 the cross between xbox and nintendo controls always gets me 😅

[@sweetpea2604]

I play the switch & the Xbox daily which confuses the shit out of my fingers cus I keep flip flopping between the two consoles

[@smeeeef]

I need to say thank you to the people who commented on my latest post! It's all thanks to you I was able to make this video! For some odd reason my brain could not remember which episodes dan pressed the menu button on purpose even though I knew it happened multiple times 🙃 😅

[@david54181]

You make great compilations! Keep it up!

[@raeosunshine24]

I couldn't think of any either but I'm glad everyone else was able to come through!! It's such a consistently funny bit

[@AliasEliahus]

I'm still floored you actually managed to make it but im super impressed. Consider me subbed!

[@dainarose8272]

What do you mean? Not remembering things like that is fine when there are MANY, MANY Game Grumps episodes.

[@mrpandamania]

I can’t believe you made a compilation dedicated to this super niche idea that every game grumps fan knows about 😂

[@kittyjayway]

The double calculator absolutely killed me I wasn't ready

[@pokesonav]

The fuck? Why do they have a button that summons a calculator??? That's very unusual

[@VibinWitch]

Goddamn even Dan knows his legacy for pushing random buttons.... It makes me so happy

[@JoystickStereo]

The last one has so much raw emotion behind it.

[@DemonFireRain]

Dan is an old soul. In that when you hand him a controller hes suddenly a 90 year old fumbling with new technology

[@jacobweeks777]

Ok, ok, but none of this will ever compare to Arin pressing the wrong button in Battle Kid

[@Kingbimmy]

I love that they have a video game show but Dan still doesn’t know what the hell he’s doing 😂 god I love him. The calculator one was so funny

[@neondemons]

To be fair: Dan is both in his 40s AND has Monstrous thumbs- both things that contribute to his whiles.

[@maddieb.4282]

I’m sorry but as an “old” person you don’t immediately become useless and crippled and unable to read screens and push buttons at age 40…. I think it’s the thumb thing lol

[@neondemons]

@@maddieb.4282 what? No no I didn’t mean it like that, haha. I meant it in the sense that he didn’t grow up with these devices, so they’re more tricky to navigate. Hell, even my mom has no idea how to work a switch.

[@Darc1972]

Lets be honest i would not be suprise if there is probably a 9 hours worth if footage of Dan doing this.

[@WorldHeroKoji]

I can totally relate to this. I had to basically relearn my switch controller for TOTK because all the buttons are swapped from my xbox controller. Then when i go to play my xbox i have to re-re-learn that as ive been playing zelda so much. Think my brain is just to old sometimes. lol.

[@Skorbo_COG]

Change the button-mapping, man! Lifesaver.

[@Tsuchi]

my favorite is still when dan puts the switch in sleep mode and arin goes "how could you??"

[@agentstrike7501]

I don't think any video had me dying of laughter from beginning to end until this one. Especially at 5:10.

[@DespiteEverything42]

I pove dans reaction "I got so excited to be handed a controller with buttons i was like YAYY buttons"

[@deyedrah]

I can’t believe this is 13 minutes long, but at the same time I am not surprised that this is 13 minutes long.

[@LycanLink]

"That part makes NO sense." It actually does. It's a real thing in swordfighting. "And then he immediately jumps over him and has the higher ground." Yeah, Arin? Then what happened to him during that jump?

[@sasir2013]

In swordfighting and in any kind of melee fighting, It's obviously harder to fight while going up, specially with your head and torso going first

[@maddieb.4282]

Babe you’re not talking to them, this comment is going out to a compilation channel

[@falloutman420]

Dan is simultaneously my 65 year old grandfather and my 6 year old cousin, and it's so funny.

[@naomidixon4640]

2:46 - My husband did this the other day and I shouted "You put it in sleep mode, you fool!" at him; I thought it sounded familiar 😂

[@conormurphy4328]

Ahh, the compilation I’ve been waiting for.

[@souriz_e]

6:10 the amount of sentences he tried to start LMAOOOO

[@angrysnowcone1025]

Arin freaks out when he plays chess with Dan instead of trying to relax and playing with a calm mind. Dan frwaks out when he os given a controller or presses a wrong button instead of trying to relax and use the control properly with a calm mind.

[@LycanLink]

Oh no... Suddenly remembering when Danny accidentally sold endgame items during the final area of Super Mario RPG. >_

[@Wallis_2001]

Dan 🤝My mom Not understanding how controllers work

[@you_broke_up_with_knives]

He is just like me fr I love him

[@Lanman106]

Dan is a child. He see button, he press.

[@user-ez6sl8fy9b]

I have been waiting so long for someone to make this kind of compilation!

[@Zeeangoo]

the little "oops c:" at 9:35

[@v_bunny]

i genuinely haven’t laughed this much in so long oh my god, this is a great compilation 🤧

[@wesleypatterson2284]

This is the other end of the spectrum from the "Dan Says 'Arin' Like A Dissapointed Mother" compilation

[@Donttrustthatburger5144]

This is the complication I truly needed

[@CloverLovesTT]

why’d you have to go and make things so compilated?

[@KillerDitto77]

This is me every time I play Mario party with my family. I have to delete like 30 screenshots every time bc they don't know to not press the button I tell them not to press.

[@LuckySketches]

Bless Dan and his yaoi thumbs.

[@skychaserthedragon2046]

*bading* "Hello, and welco- what the hell, what are you doing? Why do you always do this?!"

[@pangetpampam8272]

this video made feel weak from laughing to much and dying from the anticipation of dan doing it

[@dogkiss]

i’ve been waiting forEVER for a compilation of this!!! i knew it happened enough times for it to be somewhat lengthy lmao thank you for doing this

[@LadyWhiteMage]

The man truly has a gift

[@haydenmcanally2254]

It’s so crazy how someone whose literal job it is to play video games can forget what buttons are where 😂

[@ScratchedSpeed]

That one from Link Between Worlds wasn't Dan's fault, that was just the computer being stupid.

[@TeddySaxbang659]

_Dan, the Accidental Menu Man_

[@LifesNeverHumDrum]

I’ve been hoping for a compilation like this, you rock ❤

[@karipannell845]

“YOU PUT IT IN SLEEP MODE YOU FOOL!!!”

[@Handington]

The compilation we deserve

[@Koyol]

I think the fandom’s been waiting for this comp for almost 6 years now.

[@matildakristensen541]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR PUTTING VIDEO LINKS!! It can be annoying to have to look for a video with specific clip in it so thank you for putting in the extra work. :) I love this compilation btw. I had no idea there were so many moments like this that you could make a compilation. This is amazing.

[@march5057]

Alternate title: like, 10 minutes of menus (starring Dan Avidan)

[@glyphic1855]

I have absolutely no memory of the "allow this app to render 3D images of link's wang and buttcheeks" pop-up even though I watched that entire series multiple times, and the fact they just gloss over it makes it both funnier and more mind-blowing that I can't remember it

[@MarbleFox162]

I love how in Fire Red, after Arin accidentally forgets flamethrower Dan said “How do you f**k up a menu?”

[@freakymagoo]

god ive been waiting for someone to make a compilation of this

[@dcifrit]

been waiting on this one

[@MyMooha]

"Wher- whadda- whahappen?"

[@lumarious]

Hi Smeef. I really like your comps. That is all, please continue 🙏

[@conormurphy4328]

This still brings me so much joy

[@morrisbeauregard286]

smeef coming by, absolutely delivering on those rare moments compilations. Truly a saint! (that's rare as in "not usually in compilations," not rare as in "uncommon," as the compilation's very existance proves).

[@user-wv5gv3dw5u]

Man you make the best compilations

[@saracarman3925]

After watching this I was inspired to watch highlights of the 50 turn Mario Party, and Dan does this at least five times in that playthrough 😂

[@nostra533]

Mighty talk from the guy who never reads tutorials then instantly fucks up😂

[@Femboy_Grey]

Now this is the compilation we needed

[@yhacobb]

Happy to see the mario maker ones, those are my favorites

[@Sky-CladObserver]

I love that this is a full 13 minutes long despite being so specific, lol

[@lionofdemise]

I never knew how many times Dan would do that until the Mario Party Fiesto

[@TheMrrccava]

There is so much more of this than I thought.

[@lykosvon9142]

God i would have so little patience 😂

[@JohnDixon]

I love that this happens often enough to be a compilation 😅

[@cmyk8964]

Dan accidentally hitting B on Mario Maker is relatable because I grew up on Nintendo and all the PC games I play are XBOX layout.

[@SilentOnion]

I like how like every clip is from a switch game. I also open who knows what menus on switch games because nintendo is dumb and the accept button is neither of the two buttons your finger rests on. On the two competitors ps and xbox the accept button is the bottom face button and back is the one on the right yet for somereason nintendo has that backwards Dan actually mentions that at 8:05

[@SkilesHasFun]

I have been awaiting this compilation since the dawn of time... Or since like 2014.

[@emile_jeanne]

My favourite moments though are the ones where Matt from SuperMega purposely hits it whenever Ryan says some outrageous shit, usually about his sister...

[@rawbyntrash]

I just knew this compilation was gonna be over 10 minutes long

[@migiplayz91]

This should be called "Dan ruins the integrity of the game."

[@DerekRuggia]

honestly tho nintendo switching the B and A positions was the most boneheaded move

[@origrammar]

You might want to fact check that for a bit.
