I haven’t heard arin laugh this hard since Akane said “ yo hajime check it out I’m already eating ! “ 😂😂😂

[@AnotherFreeBard]

Dan, I feel you. Your entire experience from "haha.... interesting??" to "we are DYING. ATROPHY AS WE SPEAK" to "......am I insane?" like... full blown dissociation/feeling like you're being gaslit by everyone else thinking something is great is how I felt watching Napoleon Dynamite.

[@weaselsdontfly]

The Lisa quiz made me uncomfortable because I worked at a place called Lisa's Gallery for 10 years and now, I fear I was working for an imposter for a decade.

[@RiseOfTheKumquat67]

I thought Grundor did a wonderful job. Alas, I am all out of floor almonds.

[@Hippyknight99]

Can't wait for the animated version of this with Grundor.

[@GODZILLAmonsoon]

16:53 i need to timestamp the grundor quiz because i will be coming back to this episode a great many times

[@GODZILLAmonsoon]

there are many flavours of grump moments but I think my favourite flavour may well be "arin is losing it while dan reads flatly reads something fucking insane".

[@sad_doggo2504]

The fact that he said "this one's all for you" and then immediately proceeded to adopt the role of a submissive cave gremlin is just too perfect

[@sephirothacacia9515]

that grundor bit is GOLD oh my god I laughed so hard I choked

[@sordakthemobile1777]

I think there is a new instance of Arin's hardest laugh

[@knarp7063]

So, in case Dan (or someone else) watches this later, I will attempt to explain the humor: In a normal quiz the questions are just the road to the pay-off, which is the result. In these quizzes however, the pay-off is in increasingly surreal questions and/or answers. The funny lies in either repeating a joke with varying outcomes (the Mrs Lisa one or the fly swatter), escalating (Grundor) or through recognition (The sword one) and the idea is usually that you eventually will go "wtf?!" and laugh because it's so bizarre. Personally I generally think they are pretty hit and miss, but the Grundor one was top tier though.

[@greedyProphet]

The sword one especially is more of a unique way to tell a story. You're learning about these kids' lives and you have to put the pieces together as to which answer is which kid.

[@LucJenson]

Appreciate the explanation. I've come back to this video three times and I still don't think I can finish it, this one just... I'm sitting here like Dan is basically, haha. The past couple of "quiz" type episodes that feature sites like this have missed the mark. I think their peak quiz-type show was when they prepared riddles for each other.

[@sandyk9300]

im with dan on this one......an attempt at comedy quizzes...i was wtf the whole time

[@weirdcat8373]

Yeah. It's kinda like those surreal memes like there's a horse with 4 wings, 3 eyes, 2 human heads coming out of its abdomen with the caption "GEORGE IS ENRAGED. PRESENT HIM THE POTATOES FROM THE DIMENSION UYX-8686 AND THE ESSAY ON ABRAHAM LINCOLN'S PRESIDENCY AND THE CIVIL WAR, OR YOUR SOUL WILL BE CONSUMED."

[@RoaringTide]

To try and elaborate even further, I'd say there's like three big parts to it: parody, narrative and the writing itself. 1) Arin mentioned it's sort of a parody of those Buzzfeed quizzes. Apart from using the format, it feels like it reflects the vapidness of those quizzes, and how they either stretch to make the link between the answers and the result make sense, or don't stretch in the slightest (i.e. if you pick that you like green in a quiz about which gen 1 Pokemon starter you are, you get Bulbasaur). I think these quizzes play around with that to some degree, where they go so far off course as to be amusing, or show complete disregard for how you answer. 2) They're threading background narratives into the quizzes. Each of the people holding flyswatters has a dumb story as to why they have a flyswatter. Grundor lives under the sink and gets fed almonds. Mrs. Lisa is a design expert and people impersonate her. One of the kids buying swords is curious about puberty and maybe doesn't have a father figure. As mentioned, basic methods like repetition and escalation are used a lot to highlight the more amusing parts of the stories. And various aspects can be twisted using the format (i.e. 4 of the 5 answers to a question might be "legit", and the last one is just a reference to the background narrative, like telling Grundor his question sucks). 3) Just the writing itself can be funny, like any script can. Comedic principles like timing and subversion apply, but also just fairly straightforward jokes. Like the question in the feet quiz that said many insurance policies define fucked-up toenails as those that are "infested with all kinds of shit". The humour being that a policy obviously wouldn't use such casual, vague language (and I imagine that a policy wouldn't specify anything about toenails in the first place).

[@Ozaawaa]

I was not prepared for Dan's hilarious audible confusion rolling into the Grundor quiz moments, completely lost my shit 🤣

[@matthewpease6614]

The fact that he kept listing of the choices starting with “A” even though it was a numerical list 😂

[@matthewpease6614]

@@miguelnewmexico8641 well I think it was an accident at first but then became self aware

[@majorgnu]

Nah, he just really likes saying "eh" a lot now. Says it's from his British Overwatch buddy he plays a lot with. :P

[@charmaster006snow9]

Arin losing his shit during grundor had me in tears. I havent laughed that hard in a while 😂

[@josephschultz3301]

The icing on the cake is definitely the Grundor quiz. Arin and Allie just dying cry-laughing the entire time really set the mood xD

[@loonatictears2814]

Arin loosing it to Grundor was the funniest thing

[@Ewurcute]

Grundor is my new favourite character danny has ever not wanted to do

[@saltypretzel4959]

Arin continuously ignoring Dan and chugging along is killing me XD

[@PinkApocalypse]

you can hear Dan dissolving slowly as he reads as grundor

[@devinmackelburg1688]

Every time Arin takes a loud sip of his drink part of me dies inside

[@jrains03]

No one is talking about this. I ABSOLUTELY HATED the loud slurps and swallow.
