Truly the best present in 2024 is Christmas being on a Wednesday so we can gifted with another episode of this series! I mean what better way to celebrate the holiday that’s so centered around capitalism and shopping than with a trip to a place called Buy & Leave!
Arin - "To be the voice of a show that goes on for years and years...." Also Arin - Host of the best god damn let's play for 11 years and counting. Arin, Video Game Boy, please. You're absolutely an iconic voice. Voices. I've heard so many. And I imitate them daily. You're an inspiration. Thank you.
Truly, Arin has such an awesome timbre and tone with his voice(s) and his unique delivery of dialogue when both serious OR being a Silly Boi™ is one of the most enjoyable things about imitating him :3
@@MattLuceen that soft plastic also reminds me of.. there were these books inside plastic shells and the outer edge had buttons, and when that icon showed up in the story, you were meant to press the button to get a tiny tinny sound to play.
Arin actually illuminated for me why I was bombarded with Disney classics from the 70s despite growing up in the 90s, I ate those VHSes up like candy, Robin Hood is definitely a big favourite from the era - I really like the sketchier style, it's super charming and feels very tactile.
Ah good Buy & Leave is opened on Christmas! Merry Christmas everyone 🎄🎁 Let’s us all get our ingredients for our succulent meals! Last Supermarket Simulator episode of 2024... Can’t wait for 2025!
Wow, Willy, Billy, Nilly, and Roy have to be work double-time every second of their shift, and they don't even get Christmas off - first they 10x-ed the prices, now this??
I... Am somewhat amazed by how well he described the clamshell VHS era. I didn't know that was a special era, I just assumed Disney always did that forever. I had all sorts of those movies and they played constantly exactly like Erin said. I was so astounded by the accuracy that I was compelled to comment.
Same! My aunt collected every VHS tape, and we still come over just to get the authentic experience of watching it on an old TV and tape. I get to relive my childhood every time I stop by.
I know this was recorded ages ago, I but I really appreciate you posting this on Christmas. Received some disappointing news about IVF today and needed a laugh and a distraction. Merry Christmas, Grumps and all.
I’m so sorry you didn’t get the news you hoped for. I’m sorry they delivered it to you on a day you’re supposed to be lost in joy too. Whatever the stage of your journey, I hope it starts to look up for you soon. Merry Christmas to you and yours ❤
My heart goes out to you I’m so sorry❤️ Thats why I love the grumps too their insane silliness takes me so far away from the really hard stuff in my life. I hope there is still some joy in your Christmas today❤️
Cheers to Chrismukkah! The first day of Hanukkah, Christmas Day, and GG Supermarket Simulator all fell on the same day. There is a lot to be thankful for this Christmas season.
I am 100% with Arin. I grew up watching the Disney animated Robin Hood on VHS and I was like whoa wait why is this fox lady kinda hot?? I do think it has something to do with the voice actress though. Same with Robin. His voice is so sly and smooth, but with the perfect amount of gravel. Brian Bedford and Monica Evans were just fantastic.
Disney would also famously constantly advertise that the clamshell tapes were going back into the vault, and then Moms would rush out to Walmart to buy them. I don't feel like I ever really saw them leave the shelves until DVDs took over.
i wish i knew what happened to our video collections. neither of my parents remembers, we just one day didn't have them. I still had a VCR-integrated TV straight through 2012, at which point I bought a separate unit which I have yet to use.
GameGrumps Lunch Break Chronicles, Day 357: Had a very nice Christmas brunch with the fam, sausage patties and cinnamon rolls. We also had some non-alcoholic butterscotch beer. Absolutely delightful. Happy Holidays! 10/10.
im gen z (2002) and my family had a small collection of those clamshell tapes, so wild getting such a clear memory from arin talking about them. if i remember right some if not all of them were on a limited release before "going back in the disney vault"
@@thomasanderson8548 I specifically missed the original VHS version of The Hunchback of Notre Dame. That one looked absolutely AMAZING in the old style, since it didn't have the super clean lines, or the super vibrant colors that we see in all the remastered versions nowadays. It had such a darker/grittier aesthetic that fit so much better with the story and setting. You basically can't find that version anywhere else, and would have to have the VHS tape for that
'93 here, and man, it's kinda crazy to think people still had vcrs that recently. Growing up we didn't really think anything of it, but technology was just absolutely *whipping* past us. I remember on my first phone we could buy midi versions of popular songs to use as ringtones for $.99, and like three or four years later we had the *iphone*. I had a portable cd player when I was in elementary school, an ipod mini in middle school, and by the end of highschool I had a smart phone with internet access to the early music streaming services like pandora. What a wild ride
@@lookoutforchris im not sure he's gay, he's certainly not straight, i'd say he's bi at least 😂 im pretty sure suzy knows, with the amount of dad kissing jokes, and various other jokes, and lets no forget his D club lmao
@@niko_217I think What Niko means isn't that 30 is the last one, probably just the last one of this recording batch. They record a bunch of episodes of a series at once over the course of a week (Monday we record Danganronpa, two one-off games, and two supermarkets, etc through the week.
The funny thing about Disney's Robin Hood is it actually is one of the major catalysts in creating the modern furry fandom as we know it, as our very first convention was held in 1989, meaning before that time there was still enough furries out there to warrant a get together on that scale. Granted there are other influences on the community, going back to the pantomime animal suits of the late Victorian era and early 20th century, but Robin Hood absolutely was a huge part.
I love imagining the manager and assistant manager having these conversations in-world before going to help customers. "Eh, I'd give her a poke!" He laughs and turns to the register, making perfect eye contact with the customer, "You find everything okay? ^-^" Also, bonus for mentioning Charlie Adler! One of the great VAs!
I really appreciate the holiday themed mods, thanks Tony! Feels extra special that Xmas and the start of Hanukkah landed on the same day, so this is just a double bonus. Can't wait to see what the store looks like in the New Year!
Thank you, Tony, for the Jingle Grump season mod! Supermarket Simulator is already a weekly gift that helps brighten our lives so we really appreciate fun additions like these! Dan is gonna see the wall again and demand paint hahaha Hearing Arin talk about the exhausting aspect of sending auditions also remind me of job hunting in general. We all gotta make a living but the system makes it an absolute drag. Seriously!!! People are capable and are willing to do good work but it really really drains the soul to put yourself out there and make an effort and yet most of the time you barely even hear ANYTHING back. Augh, it's the worst. So whoever is reading this and making the effort, whether it be big or small, value it! Celebrate it! I need you to know how easy it is to not do anything (or even try!) So the fact that you're working hard even when it is rough, you're building a resilience, you are training your brain and your heart to become steadfast when chasing your goals. Even when it fazes you, you'll remember that you got through stuff and will continue to get through it! 諦めんなよ！ 諦めんなよ、お前！！ 絶対やってみろ！ 必ず目標達成できる だからこそ Never Give Up!
I love listening to the Grumps playing SMS. It feels like I'm listening to two co-workers having interesting conversations and forgetting their radio is on. I love it so much ❤
Happy Chrismukkah! Christmas Day, the first day of Hanukkah, and GG Supermarket Simulator - all on the same day. So much to be grateful this holiday season
Merry Christmas Dan & Arin, thank you for this lovely gift and for continuing to operate our favourite store, the Buy & Leave. We'll see you back here next year 💙
I highly recommend commonplace books to help remember the media you consume. if you liked a character, a scene, stylistic choices - write it down! i remember so much more since i've started doing that 💚
Just because I feel dedicated to counter Arin’s misinformation: hiccups are caused by a spasming DIAPHRAGM not your GLOTTIS. 🤦🏻 Haha love these guys. 💖🎄
Oh god I needed this today. Got a denial letter for my disability application for Christmas lmao. Gonna appeal but the fear and dread are real rn and I spent the whole day depressed and in pain. Thank you, Jingle Grumps!
Arin talking about the voice acting stuff, and about wanting to do silly voices, and all I can think about is when he was in Owl House, and how close to crying I was over that. Which is a god-damn feat, cause I am emotionally constipated and don't cry
I remember attending a panel at a convention many years ago with Charlie Adler, Billy West, and John DiMaggio, among quite a few others. They did a few in-character skits and talked shop a bit, and I was never so glad that the line for the Rifftrax panel was so hopelessly long that I just went to the next nearest room instead. Thanks for the memories, and Merry Christmas and all the other seasonal holidays.
Christmas day 1989, my father left just minutes after we finished opening presents. "The Buy and Leave is open." He said "Just gotta get a few last minute things" He left us on that cold Christmas day, not knowing if he'd return. We continued on without him, trying to be happy, but unable to shake the feeling of abandonment. Hours later he returned, but with no groceries. Nobody said anything, and we all had a great Christmas meal. But I knew. I knew the truth. Dad went to Buy and Leave to get kissed by the owner, one Arin G. Grump. I'll never forget the day, Arin kissed my dad
Interesting. The very instant he said clamshell tapes I knew exactly what he was talking about without ever in my life having heard them referred to as that.
hearing arin refer to "millennials" to dan caused me to look up when exactly the generation cut off point is, which led me to the knowledge that dan is actually gen x and not a millennial, which feels insane.
For whatever reason i still have clamshell vhs for fantasia. I keep it around so my kids can see what a vhs looks like.... And its among all my dvds that do still get use sometimes
Wow, that Ishinomuri conversation led to me refinding a childhood memory in the form of that LttP manga Dan mentioned. I havent thought about it in 20+ years. Thanks guys. What a cherished part of my childhood you unearthed on Christmas. 🤙🤙
I shit you not, on the way to the family gathering yesterday we passed a closed down gas station/convenience store called Get N’ Slip. Oh lordy how I wished it was open. Merry Christmas y’all!
Sword in the Stone was definitely the same as what they were saying. It's not a long movie, but the animation of whenever Arthur is interacting with his foster family, a lot of animation is reused because it's usually just some sort of conversation over dinner. But it makes it up for it with the main bits between Arthur and Merlin where they're always transforming into animals and learning about the world through their perspective, and ultimately the magic battle with Mim.
“Huh! Definitely spent hours and hours of my life watching that… it’s like it never happened. I only remember the feeling of liking it.” I feel this about Game Grumps 😀 10:33
🎵 It's Christmas, Christmas, gotta stock up on Christmas, everybody's looking forward to the Grumpy grocery! Buying and Leaving (yeah!) Buying and Leaving (yeah!) Fun fun fun fun, looking forward to the Comte Cheese 🎵
when it comes to binging thing i dont really have the problem they do, mostly because i only usually binge things that really get me hooked, and those are the shows that stick with me, stick in my memory
My Nana had so many clamshell VHS tapes, I spent tons hours watching them at her house. I also had trouble sleeping as a kid, so she recorded a bunch of movies onto one tape for me to watch without having to get out of bed to switch movies. It helped me sleep and gave me an everlasting love for Ferngully.
Me and my family have the flu right now so our Christmas wasn't very exciting. When I realized it was Wednesday, I was ecstatic. Some Supermarket Simulator is exactly what I need rn. Merry Christmas, everyone!😊
When I was dropped on my head as a little kid, I had my 2 front teeth pulled. I genuinely sang “all I want for Christmas is my 2 front teeth” for a couple years lol. Merry Christmas y’all
I wish I had the “forgetting a thing I love” problem. My neurodivergent brain means I can remember every line of every piece of media I’ve ever consumed 😀
My wife is the same way. Uncanny ability to remember the most minute details of most media she's seen/read, usually verbatim. Never fails to amaze me that the human brain can retain so much.
I had read the Altered Carbon book before the show came out, and I enjoyed both versions. If you liked the story, read the book(s) for the complete experience, so good!
Merry Grumpmas beloved Buy & Leavers 🐯🦄🌟🎄 The sound of opening and closing clamshell VHS tapes is forever burned into my brain. They weren’t even all Disney movies either.
I love the Eldritch Cartoon memes. The Blues Clues ones are good, I like the ones people do with the cult like use of the green sweater. Eldritch Garfield is a classic.
He was also T-Bone and Dr. Viper in SwatKats, Snively from Sonic SatAM, and Red Guy from Cow & Chicken, in addition to Cow and Chicken. Didn't really like Cow and Chicken, but was a huge fan of SwatKats and Sonic SatAM. Also played the most menacing version of Cobra Commander in G.I.-Joe Resolute in the early 2000s. He also played a few other characters in that, but his Cobra Commander stands out more than any of the other characters.
I bought the buy and leave tote bag as soon as it was released to surprise my husband for Christmas. It came in and I kept it hidden, and he then had the idea to get me one, but they were no longer available and he was so bummed. It was so sweet to see his face light up Christmas morning with gifts brought to him by the Buy and Leave 🥰 (thank goodness they forgot to check the prices)
Not that he has to have every single one of Charlie Adler's roles memorized or anything, but I'm stunned Arin listed through characters voiced by Charlie Adler and didn't mention Buster freakin' Bunny from Tiny Toon Adventures, arguably his most famous character (or at least like top three).
Merry Christmas and happy Hanukkah to everyone who celebrates either of those! Or both if you’re feeling festive… nobody can stop ya! Now buy (your gifts) and leave (to have a wonderful day)
1, i DID NOT KNOW that the hamster dance is just sped up robin hood intro! WT#?! :O 2, iirc winnie the pooh and jungle got a similar scene with christopher robin and mougli doing the same stone toss. does that count as that xerox Disney thing, Arin? Dan? dan/arin? darren? imma stop. I DO remember them clamshell vhs tape binges and home movies, showing my age. edit jungle BOOK
Billy West is my all time favorite con guest. Took a picture with me and my wife, had a casual conversation with me about voice acting, and signed my Ren and Stimpy animation cel while singing Happy Happy Joy Joy.
The unusual frequency of hiccups as I've gotten older has me relying on thinking "I am not a fish" to myself. For some reason this gets rid of the hiccups almost right away every time. I'd definitely recommend it.
Aristocats was one of my favorite Disney movies when I was a kid (clamshell era) and I watched it more recently on Disney plus and MAN is the art and animation rough! They left in a bunch of sketch lines and stuff.
The Blue's Clues thing I think Dan was referring to is a Meat Canyon episode? Or one of those short horror comics that makes the rounds every so often on the IG algorithm lol
I met Billy West as well! Got to ask him about playing Bugs Bunny and if it is intimidating to play a character THAT iconic. He told a story about how when he first auditioned and got the roll he was a little intimidated, but when he got to start doing it and heard all the feedback he received from the directors, he realized that even the Mel Blanc Bugs Bunny was something that changed over the years, had different inflections and intonations to the voice, and each director wanted him to change it up slightly here and there. It made him realize even his idols in the field kinda went through the same process he did and it made him feel closer to them rather than "further" from them.

“Good answer! Good answer”
Arin describing the clamshell Disney VHS era is literally my exact childhood, he is 100% correct
Remember how soft the cases were? How it felt to close them? I’m having a flashback!!
edit: we watched Pocahontas so many times
I'm over in the Netherlands and I had the same exact childhood, we had like 30 tapes at some point.
i was taken back to that point in my childhood fr hearing him describe that exact thing, i feel so seen!
@@MattLuceen that soft plastic also reminds me of.. there were these books inside plastic shells and the outer edge had buttons, and when that icon showed up in the story, you were meant to press the button to get a tiny tinny sound to play.
Right?! I had no idea that’s what they’re called! Pretty sure I still have them.
Love that Arin keeps buying lights while stepping on top of the light on the floor of the storage.
IKR?!

The only Supermarket open on Christmas. Thank you boys for working overtime
We’ve come a long way since the first episode of this series. The best Xmas gift was the store expansions along the way.
Its amazing how they still act, sound, and laugh at the same things after so many many years
Probably because they "binge record" so much stuff that their brains have them
forget the earlier stuff so the more recent stuff "feels" fresher.

Had presents, got my christmas dinner in time to sit down for Supermarket Simulator, today is a good day.
Same here, working on dinner right now.
I miss the clamshell vhs tapes era. I had a drawer dedicated to all the Disney classics. ❤❤❤
Merry Christmas Grumps, and a Happy New year!
Thank you for the laughs and love guys.
best thing about christmas tbh, thanks grumps! Happy holidays to you
I shit you not, on the way to the family gathering yesterday we passed a closed down gas station/convenience store called Get N’ Slip. Oh lordy how I wished it was open. Merry Christmas y’all!
At 20:00, they haven't gotten the new sign yet, but they need one that says SURE THING, wouldn't you agree?
I love Arin taking me back to childhood cartoons and characters I havent thought of in a long time, with Aaah! Real Monsters, I Am Weasel, etc.
I freaking adore Charlie Adler and I am super happy Arin geeks out about him!
He's a fantastic voice actor with such a great range of characters, but you can still pick him out.
Love the black cauldron, one of my favourite Disney films.
Sword in the Stone was definitely the same as what they were saying. It's not a long movie, but the animation of whenever Arthur is interacting with his foster family, a lot of animation is reused because it's usually just some sort of conversation over dinner. But it makes it up for it with the main bits between Arthur and Merlin where they're always transforming into animals and learning about the world through their perspective, and ultimately the magic battle with Mim.
merry christmas, grumps!
“Huh! Definitely spent hours and hours of my life watching that… it’s like it never happened. I only remember the feeling of liking it.”
I feel this about Game Grumps 😀

🎵 It's Christmas, Christmas, gotta stock up on Christmas, everybody's looking forward to the Grumpy grocery! Buying and Leaving (yeah!) Buying and Leaving (yeah!) Fun fun fun fun, looking forward to the Comte Cheese 🎵
Hope the Grumps are enjoying a well-deserved break for the holidays! Love to all ❤
when it comes to binging thing i dont really have the problem they do, mostly because i only usually binge things that really get me hooked, and those are the shows that stick with me, stick in my memory
My Nana had so many clamshell VHS tapes, I spent tons hours watching them at her house. I also had trouble sleeping as a kid, so she recorded a bunch of movies onto one tape for me to watch without having to get out of bed to switch movies. It helped me sleep and gave me an everlasting love for Ferngully.
Me and my family have the flu right now so our Christmas wasn't very exciting. When I realized it was Wednesday, I was ecstatic. Some Supermarket Simulator is exactly what I need rn. Merry Christmas, everyone!😊
When I was dropped on my head as a little kid, I had my 2 front teeth pulled. I genuinely sang “all I want for Christmas is my 2 front teeth” for a couple years lol. Merry Christmas y’all
I wish I had the “forgetting a thing I love” problem. My neurodivergent brain means I can remember every line of every piece of media I’ve ever consumed 😀
My wife is the same way. Uncanny ability to remember the most minute details of most media she's seen/read, usually verbatim. Never fails to amaze me that the human brain can retain so much.
you GOT TO BE KIDDING ME ISHINOMORI MADE A ZELDA COMIC AND I NEVER KNEW THAT WHAT THE FUCK??????
Feliz effectividad, amigos!
I had read the Altered Carbon book before the show came out, and I enjoyed both versions. If you liked the story, read the book(s) for the complete experience, so good!
Merry Grumpmas beloved Buy & Leavers 🐯🦄🌟🎄 The sound of opening and closing clamshell VHS tapes is forever burned into my brain. They weren’t even all Disney movies either.
I absolutely love that y'all released a Supermarket episode on Christmas.
I hope Santa brings the Game Grumps everything that they asked for.
mirthful holidays everyone and thank you everyone at the grumps office for another year of great entertainment
Merry Christmas, Grumps and Lovelies!
I love the Eldritch Cartoon memes. The Blues Clues ones are good, I like the ones people do with the cult like use of the green sweater.
Eldritch Garfield is a classic.
13:36 "The potato man who made the fart joke."
Isnt that just you, Arin? 😅
Charlie Adler was also the voice of Buster Bunny on Tiny Toon Adventures in the 90s.👍🏻
He was also T-Bone and Dr. Viper in SwatKats, Snively from Sonic SatAM, and Red Guy from Cow & Chicken, in addition to Cow and Chicken. Didn't really like Cow and Chicken, but was a huge fan of SwatKats and Sonic SatAM.
Also played the most menacing version of Cobra Commander in G.I.-Joe Resolute in the early 2000s. He also played a few other characters in that, but his Cobra Commander stands out more than any of the other characters.
I bought the buy and leave tote bag as soon as it was released to surprise my husband for Christmas. It came in and I kept it hidden, and he then had the idea to get me one, but they were no longer available and he was so bummed. It was so sweet to see his face light up Christmas morning with gifts brought to him by the Buy and Leave 🥰 (thank goodness they forgot to check the prices)
im older gen z, but i did grow up watching those clamshell tapes and other vhs before everything switched over to dvd, then we had so many of those
25:16 Cow and Chicken, I am Weazel, Rocko's Modern Life are golden cartoons
Not that he has to have every single one of Charlie Adler's roles memorized or anything, but I'm stunned Arin listed through characters voiced by Charlie Adler and didn't mention Buster freakin' Bunny from Tiny Toon Adventures, arguably his most famous character (or at least like top three).
Blue: "I ReQuIrE CLUES StEpHaN!"
Garfield: "I rEqUiRe LaAsGna JOHN!"
I want an episode of Danny losing his mind to Garfield creepypasta.
Eek the Cat had so many good joke deliveries, I'm surprised it's not mentioned more
Merry Christmas and happy Hanukkah to everyone who celebrates either of those! Or both if you’re feeling festive… nobody can stop ya!
Now buy (your gifts) and leave (to have a wonderful day)
1, i DID NOT KNOW that the hamster dance is just sped up robin hood intro! WT#?! :O
2, iirc winnie the pooh and jungle got a similar scene with christopher robin and mougli doing the same stone toss. does that count as that xerox Disney thing, Arin? Dan? dan/arin? darren? imma stop.
I DO remember them clamshell vhs tape binges and home movies, showing my age.
edit jungle BOOK
Relaxing in bed wrapped in my Grumps blanket watching Christmas market simulator, doesn't get better than this
Wow, I actually briefly fell asleep watching this because it's so nice and relaxing and my sleep schedule's fucked after the holidays
Billy West is my all time favorite con guest. Took a picture with me and my wife, had a casual conversation with me about voice acting, and signed my Ren and Stimpy animation cel while singing Happy Happy Joy Joy.
Merry Christmas Grump community! The Bye and Leave is open 24/7/365!
Merry Christmas, Arin!
Happy Hanukkah (in about 5 hours), Dan!
Thank you for this amazing gift today! Love me some Buy & Leave!
Merry Open On Christmas Supermarket, everyone
The unusual frequency of hiccups as I've gotten older has me relying on thinking "I am not a fish" to myself. For some reason this gets rid of the hiccups almost right away every time. I'd definitely recommend it.
Aristocats was one of my favorite Disney movies when I was a kid (clamshell era) and I watched it more recently on Disney plus and MAN is the art and animation rough! They left in a bunch of sketch lines and stuff.
"This is the last episode of..."
HEART ATTACK
"... our holiday wallpaper"
RELIEF ATTACK
The Blue's Clues thing I think Dan was referring to is a Meat Canyon episode? Or one of those short horror comics that makes the rounds every so often on the IG algorithm lol
The best gift I could ever hope for this Christmas. The Buy & Leave is open!
I met Billy West as well! Got to ask him about playing Bugs Bunny and if it is intimidating to play a character THAT iconic. He told a story about how when he first auditioned and got the roll he was a little intimidated, but when he got to start doing it and heard all the feedback he received from the directors, he realized that even the Mel Blanc Bugs Bunny was something that changed over the years, had different inflections and intonations to the voice, and each director wanted him to change it up slightly here and there. It made him realize even his idols in the field kinda went through the same process he did and it made him feel closer to them rather than "further" from them.
