[@Insaneian]

Elmo in Grouchland is the 219th game the Grumps have beaten. They should be very proud for beating it on Hard Mode.

[@LSDeadly]

Thank you Ian, you beautiful man 🧡🩵

[@bazzfromthebackground3696]

Love that you even count the 10 min breeze throughs.

[@lumiolivier3939]

For the first time my 2 year old got to watch an episode of GameGrumps with daddy. She was quite proud to call out Elmo's letters when they raised into the sky with telekinetic force...

[@notsure1969]

And then Dan made a comment about Elmo's balls.

[@GODZILLAmonsoon]

I don't know what's more startling, when Arin busts out a perfect Elmo impression or when Dan talks about his wife. Like, oh right these are adult men and one of them is a voice actor. I forget sometimes.

[@honeyedboba]

and the other is a musician. it's crazy when u look past the dad kissing and butt jokes you remember these are talented and successful men

[@brani.the.ortist]

WAIT ONES A VOICE ACTOR??? I didn’t know this??

[@JaySay]

@@brani.the.ortist Yes, Arin is a voice actor. He's had small roles in various things here and there, and he even had a cameo in Rick & Morty way back when. I think it was the end of the first season, he voiced a robotic butler that took pictures at a wedding.

[@brani.the.ortist]

@@JaySay that’s so cool! Thanks for telling me

It actually is easy First, try to do a Stitch impression, and then slowly raise your pitch until it sounds like Elmo

[@UndeadNorseman]

I just watched the movie this game is based on with my son a few months ago so when they joked about Huxley's chopper all I was thinking was: "You got to be kidding me that you dont know who HUXLEY is! He is the terror of Grouchland!" Then I remembered I was a grown man and had to reconsider my priorities.

[@MrWesd93]

The Grumps beating children’s games in 14 minutes and complaining they’re too easy is prime Grumps

[@fuzzyotterpaws4395]

Some children's games are surprisingly hard to be fair, especially on hard difficulty when it seems it's not tested haha

[@fuzzyotterpaws4395]

I was expecting it to be longer ebcause usually these older games are a lot harder. Even "kid's" games were surpisingly hard haha

[@AceThe1AndOnly]

​@@fuzzyotterpaws4395 I wasn't expecting it to work

[@fennec8896]

Too short, not too easy. Isn’t exactly the same, even in this case.

[@cylondorado4582]

[@blondebutactuallybrunette7286]

I have a sneaking suspicion these two grown men have never watched the masterpiece that is Elmo in Grouchland.

[@bigbrocol1908]

Bro, that and Follow That Bird were my childhood favorites.

[@gracemangum]

It was always my go-to at the local West Coast Video 😂

I remember this movie traumatized me as a kid. Good to see the video game is equally unsettling and psychedelic

[@shockhedgehog4771]

Really? I remember loving it

[@Wolfgang8-Y]

​@shockhedgehog4771 It definitely has some dumbo-esque trippy moments that could be scary. But it's the type of scary that's fun for some kids (I certainly loved it)

I used to work in a video store. I was walking past the kids section and saw Hook and thought, "Man. I really liked that as a kid." I picked up the box, looked at the date, and desiccated a little because that date felt like it was a thousand years before.

I LOVED the movie this was based on as a kid! Elmo loses his blanket in Grouch Land, he tries to find it, random music video montage, and getting it back from the only human living in Grouch Land for some reason Good times!

[@TheJokerX94]

I can't get over how in the second game, the start looks like Elmo is juggling his own eyeballs

[@jNetDowling]

Jingleheimer Junction is one of the best SNL sketches of all time, I'm so happy to hear Mr Business appreciates it too

[@hrodga]

Yeah, but the "angle of the dangle" thing is older than that.. it was in the Nerds movies in the 80s, I think, and I know it was on Bevis and butthead too.

[@DevinGates]

He also got his math wrong. (Pushes glasses up nose) The angle of the dangle is inversely proportional to the heat of the beat.

[@NEOhioTrainFan]

If you ever do more Sesame Street games or want to drop a nostalgia bomb on us, there are some point-and-click corny PC games from the mid/late 90s similar to Freddi Fish you could maybe take a look at.

1:20 For a Sesame Street game, it's a bit ironic they got "than" and "then" mixed up. You would think a company devoted to educating kids would have that on lock.😂

[@harley3514]

Arin's elmo impression summoning demons had me lose it

[@omnitoad2187]

Yeah, I noticed that "few phones in movies" thing a while back. Mostly because I noticed how much of traditional movie plot is two characters simply not being able to communicate found information with each other. Like a WHOLE movie can be about two people trying to contact one another, or all conflict hinges on two characters just missing one another. Mobil technology has kind of killed 50% of the easiest plot devices and writers clearly aren't up to the challenge of coming up with new ideas.

[@speedracer2please]

Yeah good riddance. I'm even more annoyed when characters are right next to each other but just don't want to tell each other something and I have to wait 3 hours for them to figure it out.

[@omnitoad2187]

@@speedracer2please Yeah, exactly! A more subtle thing that gets me is when there's time between scenes and the characters don't exchange info at any point off screen. Like three days can go buy and they never talked about the key facts because the conversation needs a scene of its own.

[@ScooterinAB]

I hear this argument about roleplaying games all the time and always laugh. Like, imagine pulling your phone out, googling some Cthulhian mystery, and coming across just pages and pages of horseshit and conspiracy theories. It would absolutely not help you.

[@foxxygradius7858]

For some reason the first story I thought of that becomes a lot shorter with cell phones is 'Waiting for Godot'.

[@reddiamond6524]

I love the movie. I memorized the "MINE" song word for word. My favorite Elmo game was Elmo's Preschool. I loved making him eat cupcakes repeatedly.

I neeeed them to play the PC point-and-click version of Elmo in Grouchland so bad. I loved it so much as a kid.

[@highspotplays]

Regarding the Love Actually conversation, lots of people were absolutely still using camcorders in 2003. That wasn't about filmmakers deciding to avoid using cell phones, that was just the reality of the world at the time.

[@DUBYindustries]

Fun Fact regarding writers deliberately not adding cell phones...cell phones are famously hard for the prop department and editors to coordinate on. Green screening to make sure the phone screen has what is intended to be there is time consuming, and is even more so when people have different phones. It's easiest if writers omit the the use of phones completely.

[@QueenMaxiine]

It never occurred to me that phone screens in movies are actually green screens…

[@lightningg252]

Depending on the set, it's often blue screens instead. That's also why you get the floating text bubbles with someone just typing on the phone. You wouldn't think it but a fair amount of compositing goes into screen replacement.

[@musickid43]

Dan is thinking of the SNL bit Jingleheimer Junction at the end. It is still a good bit. Everyone needs to watch that at least once.

[@specterknight3023]

It's like Bart's Nightmare but with Elmo

[@apollolux]

I had that same thought when Elmo slowly fell down the trash can, reminded me specifically of the nuclear stage with all the Smilin' Joe Fission characters and enemies to pop.

[@zacharycardon2353]

I had an Elmo Number game on GBC, and it had WAY more than the alphabet one! It was space themed with more than one game and more music. If memory serves me right, it involved Elmo with stars, rockets, searchlights, the moon, jetpacks, UFO's etc. You chose games on a staircase just like the alphabet game, and they share the same game selection song. That's honestly the most nostalgic part to me. And thanks to the opening cutseen of a space craft droppong Elmo off at Sesame St., then he hovers a few times with his jetpack, for a while I thought Elmo was a space alien all along!

[@dwlr007]

22:25 Google Kevin Clash, the voice of Elmo for almost 30 years and that's why they discontinued him for a spell, but they didn't get rid of Elmo entirely.

[@PeacefulAutistic]

Elmo got a new muppeteer. Kevin Clash didn’t actually do anything. But his name was tarnished anyways so to save face for the character he loves so deeply Kevin decided to leave Sesame Street.

The second game seems to be almost a port of an nes game I played as a child. It's set up a little differently, the letters are on a ferris wheel.
