"IT'S A CHANDELIER, ARIN!"

[@dooplets._.5776]

That was my favorite part, that and the sheep part

[@drpibisback7680]

​@@dooplets._.5776 I'm still really partial to "WHY. Defend that statement!"

[@dooplets._.5776]

​​@@drpibisback7680'd smash cofagrigas too tho

[@sweetpea2604]

“IT SAYS CATEGORY DOG!”

[@thesauce9365]

Chandelure my beloved

[@g1sunstreaker584]

The constant edge of discomfort in Dan's attitude up against Arin's nigh-concerning eagerness is absolutely hysterical.

[@stoodmuffinpersonal3144]

They should update this for all the Scarlet Violet ones

[@TheMike0088]

It feels like Dan needs a solid reason to want to smash, while Arin needs a solid reason to NOT want to smash lol

[@sanctusespiritus96]

arin saying he'd smash pikachu for clout is one of the most chaotic things i've ever heard

[@grace.stewartt4224]

Right?! I love it 😭🤣🤣💯

[@4yr0ldNinja]

Pretty big brain tbh. Pikachu has mad clout.

[@aquamarinerose5405]

@borderline From google: "To have clout is to have influence or power. In popular culture, people with clout are seen as popular and cool."

[@aquamarinerose5405]

@borderline I mean... I'm not exactly hiding it with that PFP

[@aquamarinerose5405]

@borderline well I mean... clout is a weird modern slang term some might not know

[@shaunrutherford7764]

The slow ".......pass" with miltank enters my brain daily

[@sendnoodless]

7:18

[@MontyTheBuoyant]

@@sendnoodless Convenient timestamp, thanks

[@legion999]

Lactation is hot

[@stoodmuffinpersonal3144]

I can't believe they passed on Milf-tank.

[@TaylorLopez412]

Can we get a supercut of just every Arin: …… smash Dan: REALLY? Lol

[@juniorjumped]

you’ll be happy to know… kzbin.info/www/bejne/jYHClqFmeLGbibs

[@solarguard7301]

There is, it’s called “Dan is in disbelief”

[@wesleypatterson2284]

And the "It's a____, Arin!"

[@Detrifus]

Dan using Arin’s answers to build a psychological profile for some of these

[@Cabeman-hk4iq]

20:13 Dan: “You like one that can toss you around?” Arin: “Oh yeah” BIENVENUE POWERBOTTOM

[@josephschultz3301]

Arin, talking about Chiaki: "She's so tiny. Toss her around." Dan: "Get it together, man."

[@deyedrah]

I love how Dan’s main smash candidates are the delicate, feminine-looking Pokémon, and Aron’s picks are the absolute units

[@malpheus4299]

Arin and I are on the same wavelength.

[@risxra]

20:52 Dan is *furious* when he says “WHY” it’s so amusing to me

[@goldbedvids8580]

"*defend that statement*"

[@ShotgunLlama]

Arin hysterically laughing at Stunky for 24 seconds straight is probably the peak of their channel

[@TheBeastBandit]

15:13 for anyone who wants to jump straight to it

[@FlinnyWinny]

Ellie getting so offended and defending mewtwo's sexyness is my personal highlight. "This is a One-Night-Stand situation, not a MARRIAGE, ARIN"

[@EmphaticNod]

That, and her "Arcanine. _ARCANINE"_ will never get old for me.

[@fukkthisnewupdate8882]

she's right though

[@spiderdude2099]

“Is that what a Mukbang is?” Is an INCREDIBLY underrated line

[@y_tapioca]

I was looking for this comment 😂

[@wildfirefox1]

I love that Arin completely removed the idea that these are technically animals and is going purely on looks and vibes, while Dan is like "dude thats a fish"

[@hroberson3397]

Arin is going on vibes, you can tell that Dan at least at the beginning was genuinely considering the logistics

[@Mizatsuwu]

34:44 "If you say pass you're a LIIIIAAAARRRR" The fucking passion in his voice, that is a man convicted on fucking Lopunny

[@HazeOvO]

10:41 Dan just discovering Spoink and Grumpig during a smash or pass is too funny

[@galaxa88]

Dan’s exasperated “It’s a chandelier, Arin!” cracks me up 21:55

[@KingKayro87]

I especially like "IT'S A CHANDELIER, ARIN!"

[@CaylexT]

"He's 1000 pounds and NEVER AWAKE" got me for some reason

[@sorayuu8134]

32:31 Whenever I hear this clip of Arin going "Idk dude, he has a JOB" in that tone I loose it 😂😂😂😂 So hilarious every time lmao, dude got his priorities straight 👏

[@Brattany]

The bar is on the ground

[@malpheus4299]

Man, if I wanted to smash with everyone I knew who had a job or I thought was kinda cool then I would be dry.

[@duofri3nd]

The bar is in hell

[@leavemealone802]

"If you say no to that you are a LIAAAAAAR!!"

[@kaisawatson]

15:11 Arin's reaction to Stunky is one of my favourite GG moments EVER

[@TeraZilla5]

Danny's deadpan reading of its bio is the perfect companion.

[@bigdaddyg3529]

this basically confirms my danny soft top arin power switch theory and i am loving it

[@nilesmk2131]

I can't believe I had to read that with my own two ewes

[@Rey_of_light]

“Pass that’s the moon” I’m my favorite quote from this video.

[@briangruenewald7536]

Arin: *SMASH!* Dan: Really?!

[@Tammys_tunes]

16:37 are we all just gonna ignore they had the exact same audial response and no one questioned it?

[@Brattany]

The correct response

[@EmberWishes147]

Allie's "MEWTWO IS THE HOTTEST POKEMON, HE'S SO SEXY" was relatable as fuck and that's a hill I'll die on lol

[@TheCthultist]

Danny: “I don’t even know if it’s alive!” Arin: “Eh, who cares. Smash.”

[@ochuspin]

I wish the one for lopunny was in here purely because of Dan saying “if you say pass you’re a *L I A R* “

[@fried-butter]

34:46

[@ochuspin]

@@fried-butter thank goodness you put it in at least, even if it’s not in the gen 4 part😅

[@nathanlawrence2484]

This unearthed a memory for me from elementary school. Pokemon had made its rounds of popularity at the time, and so I (having never played a single game at the time) found a book in the school library that featured all the mons from gen 1-3 or 4. Lopbunny was in it, and my friend and I had been giving each pokemon like a "voice". When we saw lopbunny we laughed so hard and renamed it to "Lady Gabunny" bc Lady Gaga had been making waves at the time and it reminded me of her. Still does for whatever reason lol

[@Unownshipper]

Yeah, I don't think this should've been rearranged to have the best bits at the end. I kept waiting for that reaction and it made me feel dismayed thinking that they'd omitted it. Just a personal preference, but it's what I kept thinking throughout.

[@LampyGames]

The "oh is the category key ring? Really??" Kills me every time

[@d00diehead52]

to this day my entire friend group still quotes “THATS JUST A SHEEP ARIN”

[@ClandonV6]

Arin having some kind of story behind the Pokémon as lovers (like “he’s a selfish lover”) is so weird but so funny.

[@ShoutOfEarth]

“Pass, that’s the moon”

[@PurpleTheta]

21:54 is my personal favorite

[@CirqueDuSomni]

What we learn arin likes big daddy energy and Dan likes deers

[@chrissimmons9743]

0:24 Arin talking like it's Suzy he's looking at Dan: Pass, it's a gross caterpillar Arin (sounding offended): Shut up

[@Zaxster_-3-]

Calling Latios and Latias a "built-in threesome" is horifically accurate assumption

[@mx.l0verb0y]

10:41 i love Dan's reactions to spoink and grumpig💀

[@timothy6966]

*Grumps reacting to Cloyster* *Dan:* “Pass…” *Arin:* “WHAT, PASS!? THAT’S THE VAGINA OF POKÉMON!!!” *Dan:* “Well, have fun with it.” 😂😂😂

[@PotatoPatatoVonSpudsworth]

Yeah... that big ol' spike would be a serious safety hazard.

[@Azuredock7912]

Arin’s comeback to Dan about the dog thing is taking me out lmao 7:39

[@KingChiggy]

I need to go back through this and just see what Pokemon Dan thoroughly enjoys.

[@Unownshipper]

Ungulates, generally, and also cute, feminine-presenting pokemon overall.

[@milobytz]

Arin, questionable furry: SMASH. *SMASH* Dan, confirmed furry: Pass. I aire on the side of pass.

[@supermariobro93]

25:29 "Really, the fuckin' keys?! *_THEY'RE JUST A BUNCH OF KEYS!!!"_*

[@rasengdori13]

“IT SAYS CATEGORY: DOG”

[@morganconnor8528]

When you hear 'In the Hall of the Mountain King' you know you're in for a treat

[@TheDanishGuyReviews]

12:56 "As far as I'm concerned, l'm just keeping it real."

[@mhc706]

“Do I have high standards I’m not aware of?” No Dan, not wanting to bang bugs and animals is not high standards, it’s normal

[@thatpleb5522]

*Hole in the wall* Arin: "SMASH!"

[@thatrandom_canadian]

"That's a smash." "Really?" "Yeah." "That's a dog." That exchange was absolutely incredible.

[@napalmplaza]

Arin questioning Dan: “You wouldn’t do it?” Dan questioning Arin: “You WOULD do it???”

[@paulbray2538]

I love how Dan obviously doesn't know much about Pokemon but he said "Shuckle?" in such a disappointed way 😂 He's intuitive

[@tesseracttitan6445]

I would have to say pass because everyone knows whether in battle or bed you don’t fuckle with shuckle

[@Snugglebit]

Arin's reaction to Dan's smash on Swellow tells you everything you need to know about how much fun he started having when Dan loosened up 💀

[@SakuraVibezVA]

15:12 Arin's humor is the same as mine. I also died when I saw this one lmao

[@SleepinGriffin]

With how rapid fire this is compared to the episode, Dan’s “Really?!” Seems a whole lot more sarcastic. Lol

[@bryankopkin6869]

The pause into “… arin..” on some of them fucking sends me

[@TomoFoxFoxington]

I'm so glad Arin's accepted his connection with Guzzlord. XD

[@PotatoPatatoVonSpudsworth]

What I like about this video is what it tells us about each of their tastes. Dan's into elegance and femininity. Arin's into anything that breathes.

[@Greg-vq9tu]

I thought you just passed Machamp, but you saved the best for last 😂❤

[@TheAstralFencer]

I knew that Dan saying pass on Umbreon was an absolute mistake, you KNOW he’d be down for that action.

[@niceofgames]

“It’s a (insert object here) Arin!”

[@NecroLikesFlowers]

the opera music in the background for some parts adds so much more chaos and I love it

[@ChloeKatiePuppy]

1:22 just so i can constantly replay this

[@MissXHiem]

arin saying he'd smash throh but not sawk has every dan/arin shipper screaming "NOOOOOOOOOO" LMAO JKJKJKJK

[@shewolfinubaka]

Thank you so much for the side by side scream comparison between Arin and the Pokémon people think he voices in the show

[@wesleypatterson2284]

Ali seems like the type who'd be real quite at first but once she got to know you she'd show you an entire vault of truly unhinged shit she has saved from pre porn ban tumblr

[@jackpendleton9825]

The music slowly getting louder at the end had me dying

[@Hartofafool]

Arin being bi is very evident here in retrospect

[@volleybrawl1]

You did a really good job with this edit lmao the Hall of the Mountain King buildup at the end was great too

[@harenava1451]

Desperately want to see Dan's thoughts on Gen IX

[@MoneyChanger02]

Never agreed with Arin more or Ally less than their opinions on Mewtwo.

[@clanofclams2720]

Nah, he's sexy

[@Blade_of_Violet_Chaos]

The one thing I'm taking from this is that Dan has a thing for deer.

[@KvS1x3]

30:18 killed me

[@HBStone]

28:50 the screams

[@oliviaddoyle]

danny’s “grumpig🥺” is my favorite

[@odysyr]

The ramp up of the mountain king absolutely sent me, I was properly crylaughing!

[@Mrblackhawk709]

I'm so happy both said smash for Lucario! Definite smash for me! Always love me some Anubian jackel.

[@bennett475]

32:36, has a job - guys we've got a chance

[@cshimp10]

"If you say Pass, you're a LIAR!" Dan, lusting for Lopunny [and I as well]

[@PrincessAshly]

Actual thought I had "Gorebyss? I'm not into sounding."

[@NongEyeGong]

I found Arin calling To-ge-tic "To-get-ic" to be the most upsetting thing in this smash or pass.

[@MichaelUrocyon]

We all accuse Danny of being a furry, but it was Arin all along.

[@Brattany]

I think this is my favorite video

[@Netherbxrn]

I find it funny Dan goes “really..” in response to most smash answers

[@michelvanderlinden8363]

This just confirms that, if Danny is a furry, then Arin is.... whatever the "furry" equivelant of insectlovers is.

[@wildfirefox1]

According to Google, "buggies, shellies, or crawlies" are all used in the bug furry communities LOL

[@michelvanderlinden8363]

@@wildfirefox1 today I learned there is a community of bug-type "furries". Today I also learned why God abandoned us

Sad yall cut: "Ability is thick fat, YES PLEASE!"

[@fried-butter]

33:28

[@itsjudemydude]

"Pass....... Arin?"

[@srbrant5391]

"DEFEND THAT STATEMENT."

[@maybe0rdinary]

I’m not even a full thirty seconds in and I’m howling laughing at Dan’s sheer bewilderment. Like Arin’s… how do I say it politely. He’s a weird guy with what he’s into (belovedly) and Dan is on the brunt end of his jokes, but I feel like he’s gonna be faced with the entirety of it in this list

[@tysonb2844]

the fact this is an entire starbomb song makes me giggle

[@monoxidelullaby5873]

milotic is modeled after an oarfish. I dare you to look that up and then say smash lmaooo

[@Hayri2011]

Excited that Danny name-dropped Jhonen Vasquez!

[@quantum174]

The fact that Slowking is taller thsn Ursaring is terrifying

[@DaltonJobe-e7r]

Love that this video is making a resurgence lol

[@Elwood7X]

11:43 Alfred Coleman beat us to it

[@Aflay1]

HOW DO YOU LIKE THAT, OBAMA?M

[@DIYote_Gaming]

Dan for some reason is giving me Rob Lowe vibes every time he goes "...really?" to Arin's choices.

[@nuclearrylaw7616]

Who let a monkey into their office at 15:12 😂😂😂

[@meangreen320]

Dan is taking this very seriously despite this being an obvious joke voting episode….him being so particular on this is even more proof that he’s a furry.

[@starryeyed110796]

You coulda just said pass to my boy stunky, you didn't have to laugh at him😭

[@althelor]

Adding the obama voice going "mommy milkers" is hilarious

[@Seldoona]

The Pikachu Clout Smash is something I quote on the daily. Don't ask me how.
