It'll be interesting to see just how much the hyper-local cultural jokes will fly over their heads, especially since I'm from the North of England where this game is set (and the creators are from). EDIT: Here's the jokes and references 5:00 The Latin above the door says "Strong in arm, Thick in head". Common stereotype is that Northern England is full of strong but stupid labourers. 5:45 Meggs is a reference to Greggs; a popular fast food bakery 6:10 Some former industrial towns are comically over-run with fast food outlets that they have to start appending numbers to the name 6:50 The bottle behind the lamppost reads "White Shite", a reference to a dirt cheap alcoholic drink called White Lightening that a lot of teenagers binge drink on the street 7:00 Every street will ALWAYS have that one white van that seems to never move. You know it's used for work, but it only ever seems to move when not observed. 10:25 Reference to the British Transport Police slogan "See it, Say it, Sorted". 10:37 "Milk Snatcher" was Margaret Thatcher's nickname, because she stopped giving school children free bottles of milk. She was DESPISED in Northern England 11:10 The propensity for Yorkshire people (especially the older generation) to invite pretty much anyone around for tea, but not really, because they said it out of politeness. 12:35 "Workshy" = Lazy. "Fop" = a dandy. "Workshy Fop" = a lazy idiot with nothing going on upstairs. 14:30 Ronny (the man talking about a cobbler's pint) is a reference to Timpsons, a chain of Cobblers + Key Cutting places in England. 17:06 It's actually a stereotype that people in Northern England are very friendly. 21:45 Princess Diana commemorative plate 21:58 "Nonce" means Paedophile. 23:00 Price Shaggers is a reference to a discount shop called Pound Stretchers. The slogan on the door is an inverse of a German supermarket's slogan (High on Quality, Low on Price). The big stand inside with the thumbs up is where you buy and fill out lottery tickets. 23:40 "Jay N Mel" is a reference to "JML"; a brand of garbage as seen on TV products 24:50 "Lester Packs Lunches" can mean one of two things; he's a "dinner lady" (what an American would call a lunch lady), or he does anal. 25:15 "Bif's" is a reference to Biffa, a common brand of large scale waste disposal in the UK. 26:07 "Dogging" means to have sex in a semi-secluded place, often in your car, where you invite others to watch and even join in. Hence the set-up for the joke "No Parking, No Loitering, No Dogging" 26:21 The "Bobby Bashing Area" is a play on the UK Neighbourhood Watch sign. 25:56 "Toad in the Hole" is a popular dish where some kind of red meat is baked into a yorkshire pudding. "Apples and Pairs" is Cockney Rhyming Slang for "Stairs". 28:30 Not a reference but you didn't listen to the little worm's fun fact :( 29:50 You didn't finish "cleaning up" the fish stall. They're all "smoked kippers" so you have to knock the cigarettes out of them all. 29:59 They've written it weirdly, but it's "an' ahl"/"and all", which is a very context sensitive piece of language, but it's often used the same as "as well". Northern English, especially North East, hasn't changed much since the 1500s so a lot of language is very old. It's why some characters in the game greet you with "How" instead of "Hello", because before the use of the word Hello as a greeting, the standard English introduction was "How do you do", shortened to "How", hence "How Lad". 31:16 Another name for a Dachshund in the UK is a "sausage dog", and you were just inside a giant sausage, hence the old woman calling it a dog.
I'm not at all British but a few jokes went over my head. Had to "spirit level bubbles" joke and learned it's the British version of "buying elbow grease"
10:36 for those who don't know, this is a political reference! margaret thatcher took away some money that was going toward giving school kids free milk at school. so a lot of school kids called her, "maggie thatcher milk snatcher"
For anyone who shares Dan's concerns over the closed captions, if you're on PC, you can move the subtitles with your mouse. Just drag them anywhere you like on the screen! I don't believe the same can be said about mobile
I suffer more, for I thought they meant if you're playing Thank Goodness You're Here! That you can move the in-game subtitles, and so I was looking to find it on the mobile store and it tweren't there.
Not sure if anyone esle has said this yet, but at the end, at around 30:00, the guy that says "anorl" (and all) basically means the same as "no less". "And on a Thursday morning anorl" becomes "and on a Thursday morning, no less". Hope this helps!
So many bits they didn't see: the brick seller, the rats singing, the second line when you punch people again. I didn't even know you could kill the worm before it spoke to you 28:27 I hope the boys finish this game
I suspect it is a psychological tactic thing, that people aren't likely to click on a video of theirs if they see a 2 or higher episode number in it and weren't following since episode 1. If there's no episode number, you might just click on any random video of theirs and then navigate to the playlist from there. Plus it keeps video names short and the tags get the job done.
Yeah, I don't know much about English regions, but knowing what I know about human nature people do not like it when you are mistaken for your neighbors. Yes, to outsiders you might look the same, but to those within the regions, they couldn't be more different. Kinda like if someone mistook Kansas for Oklahoma... or depending on how much animosity is between north and south maybe it's more like mistaking Kansas for Missouri (which is a good way to accidentally start a fight)
4:38 as a hard of hearing individual who uses CC always I'm proud of Dan for even thinking of that I watched a show where the actual dialogue was in French and it was translated, but the CC covered the words with [speaking french] and it drove me nuts The characters kept going back and forth between English and French so I had to be so quick with the CC button or rewind and piece it together
Thank goodness they are playing this. I showed this game to a friend who lives in England and she was over the moon with it. Telling me all sorts of trivia and showing me real life images of what was shown and joked about in the game. She also really loved the fact there were subtitles to help people understand. A literal snapshot of rural england she saw everyday. It was fun to see her react and so cool to see the boys play it.
Omg I didn’t expect the grumps to play a game that’s based on our northen English humour, this game hits very close to home for me as this is basically the life I’ve known since I was young so I hope you lads enjoy it! Edit: also the guy that keeps getting stuck in things is basically us northerners view of British posh southerners, I mean they kinda mean to same thing but you get the jist Oh and the whole “mother meggs” shop thing is a reference to one of the most beloved food places here up in the north called “Greggs” which are loved for their sausage rolls and pasty’s, also “Fop” is just our way of calling somebody a fool, to be foppish is to be silly and incompetent Edit 2: I FUCKING LOVE DAN NEEDING AN ENGLISH TRANSLATOR FOR THIS I didn’t even think about it at all because I hear this every day everywhere (all be it less extreme USUALLY)
@@Daedalus117 when you slap Reggie he says “My wife could learn a thing or two” and when you slap the man near him not-Reggie says “Reggie’s wife could learn a thing or two”. Just a sex joke implying Reggie’s wife is sleeping with both men but need practice for BDSM
As someone from the titular town, I’m so incredibly happy they’re playing this! Barnsley humour is a perfect medium for them to riff off and loved every second! ❤
What's really tickling me is that Dan's got the name of the fictional Barnsworth wrong, and keeps referring to it as Barnsley. Which is, of course, what Barnsworth is based on. :D
I think this might be the first video on this I've watched where the "do a big wee, then get out of bed" joke was acknowledged in any way. I am so proud.
Oh god yes! I was hoping you'd play this. Dan attempting a Yorkshire accent straight off the bat and sounding like a West Country farmer is instant hilarity. This game is based on my hometown, Barnsley, which is in the video footage and the two Devs are from Barnsley.
I'm fairly certain the Burgy Alert comes from the joke about Scottish people being unable to say "Purple Burglar Alarm" due to their accent. It's probably also why the Burgy Alert text is purplish as well.
Milk Snatcher Out! Is a reference to the Prime Minister of the time, Margaret Thatcher who was very unpopular in Yorkshire and many other working class areas across the UK. She was responsible for shutting down the mines, which were a huge source of employment. But also at the time, kids at school were given free milk, and she put a stop to that, for some reason. So she was forever known as "The Milk Snatcher". She was not a nice person.
Very glad to see the English comments on the history of the references in the game and roasting Dan and Arin’s attempts at the accents. I’m grateful for y’all. ❤
@@Gingerbeard69 Dan at least caught some things and got the plot. Almost surprised Arin hasn't asked for a run button since he seems to want to just rush by everything.
11:15 - Dan mentioned The Young Ones! I was thinking the exact same thing, especially with the flower mower bit. Reminded me of a specific scene from The Young Ones where a sentient carrot and a stick of butter are skating together in the sink, and one of them gets squished by a plate.
I *gasped* when he mentioned The Young Ones and headed straight to the comment section. The second I realized what this game was, all I could think about was the puppetry of that show and the energy of that entire era of British comedy. I'm a massive fan of Rik, Ade, and everyone from The Comic Strip and so glad to see other people talk fondly of this. The flower thing, absolutely. I thought of those two rats in the pilot talking to each other before Rick smashed one with Neil's guitar and the surviving rat eats the other. ""Euripides trousers...you menda these trousers!"
Danny, "Anorl" means "as well". As in "we'll get you a pint Anorl" > "we'll get you a pint as well" It also gets used as a kind of "me too" as in: "I'm proper hungry!" "me anorl" Pronounced closer to "an all"
Exactly this! In scotland we have it closer to "anawl" or "anaw" Just meaning also or as well It's cool that it's one of those words that exists all over the uk
Little piece of advice playing this: hit EVERYTHING there’s a few things you already missed just in this one episode. Also you have to keep hitting people to continue dialogue so you missed out on some dialogue too
I'm amazed at Arin's ability to smack a garbage bag over and over for 5 minutes straight, but whenever something actually needs multiple hits he gives it a single smack and then immediately moves on.
I started watching British tv when I was about 7 or 8. Now I hardly ever watch anything American anymore. The British/Irish humor lines up with mine so much better.
Anorl is “and all” usually meaning ‘too’ though it’s not an exclusive context. So the caption ‘That’s what I thought anorl’, means ‘that’s what i thought too’. We don’t type anorl, it’s just how it’s pronounced (an-all) in speech.
Okay but Dan talking about The Young Ones made me so happy. It's the pinnacle of absurdist humour and it's only fitting that the Grumps know that it exists. 10/10
As someone from Yorkshire it both warms my heart to see these lads playing this game, but also hurts so bad to hear them juggle some weird hybrid of London/Scottish/Irish accents when trying to replicate ours 😭
i'm SO thrilled that you're playing this! the only downside is arin's negative-value patience 😂 there are so many delightful little bits you can only find if you take your time and interact with EVERYTHING
Considering they likely have confirmed to have locked themselves out of the best joke in the game since according to another user they did finish setting up the sign. Yeah they will! The best joke I refer to is the fish joke!
Lovely, small details in this game; my grandparents had the exact same kind of dresser as the one one the right of the guy's house @ 27:15. Unexpected memory!
I love the art style in this game. Makes me think of those knockoff Where's Waldo or quirky activity books from the early 90's.... Holy crap. I just remembered that AMAZING MAZES book by Rolf Heimann. So many hours just looking at the fun drawings in there.
So happy you guys are finally playing this but please explore as much as possible and listen to everyone's individual stories as there's alot of funny dialogue to be heard
The flower bit reminds me of some comedy advice from a Simpsons producer. In the audio commentary for an older season (forgot which episode and which producer) they basically said if you keep a joke going on and on it’ll get less and less funny. It’s like a slow decline, but after a certain point it shoots right back up to the funniest thing ever. 😂
@@miwright21 usually I defend arin but we need dans calm slower demeanor to get the full experience of this game arin is adhding all over everything LOL
@@puddinbuns Eh, as someone else with ADHD I've grown weary of it being used an excuse for him acting the way he does--because it's not just that. He's impatient and jaded and that just means he and Dan end up missing some cool shit in a lot of games. I still want them to continue as well...but if they do I'm resigning myself to the fact that they're going to miss all of the jokes that aren't scripted into cutscenes.
This reminds me a lot of Jazzpunk, another very funny game where the exploration gameplay is mostly a means to show off all of the jokes that the creators stuffed the game with. That would also be a great and short Game Grumps series.
This has to be the greatest thing. it's so Arinesque and to somehow mess things up perfectly and then do exactly what he needs to something else. Its great to watch the community suffer at Arin impeccable ability to fuck things up lol I love that he hits the guy after the lawn mower 1 time has actual dialogue walks away for 5 minutes comes back hits him for the 2nd bit of dialogue just to be like "that was someone elses conversation" lol yeah it was his from 5 minutes ago lol
Obviously not the same, but makes me miss my family in Scotland. I’m first generation American, and sometimes just anything British makes me happy because the humor from across the pong always cracks me up. The plumber/handyman sounded a bit Scottish, the way he said his first line “och, it’s no use Marge!” I was like hang on a minute! He sounds like one of my cousins, but with an old man voice! 🤣 I wonder how much of this Dan and Arin *actually* understand. To me, having grown up with a Scottish mom and visited the family fairly often, it’s not much of a problem, but I’ve witnessed people not understand a thing my mom says, when it all sounds perfectly normal to *me.* I’m honestly surprised they knew what a “spanner” was, because I rarely meet Americans who know (wrench, which one of them later said, btw) Love this shit. Can’t wait to see more :3❤
A million Yorkshire folks shook their fists at the mention of London 😂 I notice new things every time I watch these playthroughs like the moving vans that never move... there's at least three in every town

Right? It's uncanny. Almost like he's doing on purpose. Lol
Also with a trigger for the rats to do something when three rats are on screen at once, Arin proceeds to only ever make 2/3rds appear at any time.
Managed to not hit the shutter the guy's trying to open, too, which is a joke i know they'd love to bits
I know theyre not going to get the fishmonger gag beating his fish, which I know Arin and Dan would die from lol
he gets the "take a wee, get out of bed" joke and then completely interrupts or skips half the others
It'll be interesting to see just how much the hyper-local cultural jokes will fly over their heads, especially since I'm from the North of England where this game is set (and the creators are from).
EDIT: Here's the jokes and references
5:00 The Latin above the door says "Strong in arm, Thick in head". Common stereotype is that Northern England is full of strong but stupid labourers.
5:45 Meggs is a reference to Greggs; a popular fast food bakery
6:10 Some former industrial towns are comically over-run with fast food outlets that they have to start appending numbers to the name
6:50 The bottle behind the lamppost reads "White Shite", a reference to a dirt cheap alcoholic drink called White Lightening that a lot of teenagers binge drink on the street
7:00 Every street will ALWAYS have that one white van that seems to never move. You know it's used for work, but it only ever seems to move when not observed.
10:25 Reference to the British Transport Police slogan "See it, Say it, Sorted".
10:37 "Milk Snatcher" was Margaret Thatcher's nickname, because she stopped giving school children free bottles of milk. She was DESPISED in Northern England
11:10 The propensity for Yorkshire people (especially the older generation) to invite pretty much anyone around for tea, but not really, because they said it out of politeness.
12:35 "Workshy" = Lazy. "Fop" = a dandy. "Workshy Fop" = a lazy idiot with nothing going on upstairs.
14:30 Ronny (the man talking about a cobbler's pint) is a reference to Timpsons, a chain of Cobblers + Key Cutting places in England.
17:06 It's actually a stereotype that people in Northern England are very friendly.
21:45 Princess Diana commemorative plate
21:58 "Nonce" means Paedophile.
23:00 Price Shaggers is a reference to a discount shop called Pound Stretchers. The slogan on the door is an inverse of a German supermarket's slogan (High on Quality, Low on Price). The big stand inside with the thumbs up is where you buy and fill out lottery tickets.
23:40 "Jay N Mel" is a reference to "JML"; a brand of garbage as seen on TV products
24:50 "Lester Packs Lunches" can mean one of two things; he's a "dinner lady" (what an American would call a lunch lady), or he does anal.
25:15 "Bif's" is a reference to Biffa, a common brand of large scale waste disposal in the UK.
26:07 "Dogging" means to have sex in a semi-secluded place, often in your car, where you invite others to watch and even join in. Hence the set-up for the joke "No Parking, No Loitering, No Dogging"
26:21 The "Bobby Bashing Area" is a play on the UK Neighbourhood Watch sign.
25:56 "Toad in the Hole" is a popular dish where some kind of red meat is baked into a yorkshire pudding. "Apples and Pairs" is Cockney Rhyming Slang for "Stairs".
28:30 Not a reference but you didn't listen to the little worm's fun fact :(
29:50 You didn't finish "cleaning up" the fish stall. They're all "smoked kippers" so you have to knock the cigarettes out of them all.
29:59 They've written it weirdly, but it's "an' ahl"/"and all", which is a very context sensitive piece of language, but it's often used the same as "as well".

As someone from the titular town, I’m so incredibly happy they’re playing this! Barnsley humour is a perfect medium for them to riff off and loved every second! ❤
They should have performed at Oakwell on their last tour
What's really tickling me is that Dan's got the name of the fictional Barnsworth wrong, and keeps referring to it as Barnsley. Which is, of course, what Barnsworth is based on. :D
Greetings from down the road in 'ull!
im in west yorks! love to see other northen lovelys!!
I'm from Sheffield, and this is surreal to see hahaha
I think this might be the first video on this I've watched where the "do a big wee, then get out of bed" joke was acknowledged in any way. I am so proud.
If anyone's curious, at 18:41 the person is humming "Tip Toe Thru' the Tulips with Me" by Tiny Tim
Fitting for that weirdo
Tiptoe through the window
By the window, that is where I'll be
Come tiptoe through the tulips with me
I've never seen anybody point this out on any other videos of this game
The flower gag is legit one of the funniest things I've seen in a game. Absolutely legends, the devs.
Oh god yes! I was hoping you'd play this.
Dan attempting a Yorkshire accent straight off the bat and sounding like a West Country farmer is instant hilarity.
This game is based on my hometown, Barnsley, which is in the video footage and the two Devs are from Barnsley.
Apparently if you sit in the Mayors office for like 15 minutes, it ques a secret ending where the Mayor comes out and invites you in himself.
This game was so adorable. Arin and Dan should play it again for the wee lad
Not to mention the smacky bum bums
I'm fairly certain the Burgy Alert comes from the joke about Scottish people being unable to say "Purple Burglar Alarm" due to their accent. It's probably also why the Burgy Alert text is purplish as well.
Some of them in the game aren't purple though
Milk Snatcher Out! Is a reference to the Prime Minister of the time, Margaret Thatcher who was very unpopular in Yorkshire and many other working class areas across the UK. She was responsible for shutting down the mines, which were a huge source of employment. But also at the time, kids at school were given free milk, and she put a stop to that, for some reason. So she was forever known as "The Milk Snatcher". She was not a nice person.
Did Thatcher do _anything_ right??
@@imveryangryitsnotbutter She gave the world a fine unisex toilet.
Honk if Thatcher's deed
@@imveryangryitsnotbutter having a stroke
Thank ya for the knowledge
Very glad to see the English comments on the history of the references in the game and roasting Dan and Arin’s attempts at the accents. I’m grateful for y’all. ❤
So long as they have fun, they don't need to find everything. I'm repeating that to myself throughout the entire video XD
Omg same
I wanna believe it but….
Still frustrating, the AD/HD is STRONG with this duo…
@@Gingerbeard69 Dan at least caught some things and got the plot. Almost surprised Arin hasn't asked for a run button since he seems to want to just rush by everything.
That attitude fits so well with your profile pic 😂
Roses are red…
Violets are blue…
*Reggie’s Wife could learn a thing or two*
I love how the flower part started off as "what is going on" laughter to "we know whats going to happen" laughter 😭😭
I love their perfect comedic timing. A lot of people run down the flower between lines of dialogue and not while it's speaking
Arin outing himself as a tiny pie man right off the bat is *_craaaazy_*
this game doesn't get old as a viewer, I've watched a bunch of full playthroughs. Delightful.
Just needs that Xbox version now!
I’m glad I’m not the only one. It’s unusual for me to rewatch things in short succession, but I can’t enough of the let’s plays for this one.
You would think if a game had "BumBum" in it, Markiplier would be playing it.
11:15 - Dan mentioned The Young Ones! I was thinking the exact same thing, especially with the flower mower bit. Reminded me of a specific scene from The Young Ones where a sentient carrot and a stick of butter are skating together in the sink, and one of them gets squished by a plate.
Really cause it reminded of the two rats discussing greek philosophers outside the disco rathole
I *gasped* when he mentioned The Young Ones and headed straight to the comment section. The second I realized what this game was, all I could think about was the puppetry of that show and the energy of that entire era of British comedy. I'm a massive fan of Rik, Ade, and everyone from The Comic Strip and so glad to see other people talk fondly of this. The flower thing, absolutely. I thought of those two rats in the pilot talking to each other before Rick smashed one with Neil's guitar and the surviving rat eats the other. ""Euripides trousers...you menda these trousers!"
I'm so happy they found this gem. I've watched three streamers play it, and kept thinking "Arin and Dan would fucking love this"
15:43 I've seen three people stream/LP this game including the Grumps, and of course they're the only guys who catch the 'get out of bed' part.
As a Brit who's lived in both Leeds and Manchester... I cannot tell you the JOY I feel when I watched you playing this! 😍
Danny, "Anorl" means "as well".
As in "we'll get you a pint Anorl" > "we'll get you a pint as well"
It also gets used as a kind of "me too" as in:
"I'm proper hungry!"
"me anorl"
Pronounced closer to "an all"
Exactly this!
In scotland we have it closer to "anawl" or "anaw"
Just meaning also or as well
It's cool that it's one of those words that exists all over the uk
It's funny, I've heard British people say "anorl", but I always assumed they said "an' all".
@@Rubberman202it is "an' all." Anorl is just the phonetic spelling for this part of the UK
@@Rubberman202they did - or at least that's the original phrase. This is just a way of writing how it's pronounced in the dialect
@@tokkirot aw yeah thats true, never even thought about that! us scots just say anaw/a'naw
Please, PLEASE dont let arin miss the fishmonger thing near the end 😂
HOLY shit i literally gasped. Thank goodness its here!
Cory's not reacting very well with the la air
Armenian Corey???
3:16 "That's okay, I wanted to feel alive before I die"
*body slams the bus* 😂😂
Little piece of advice playing this: hit EVERYTHING there’s a few things you already missed just in this one episode.
Also you have to keep hitting people to continue dialogue so you missed out on some dialogue too
A FEW things?! Bastard's gone and missed 90% of the jokes.
To his credit he was punching everything that he came across.
I'm amazed at Arin's ability to smack a garbage bag over and over for 5 minutes straight, but whenever something actually needs multiple hits he gives it a single smack and then immediately moves on.
between this and arin's penchant for ignoring dialogue and moving on, I fear they're gonna miss a LOT of the funny content
They're enjoying what they are seeing, that's all we can ask for! There's no need to squeeze every line out of every thing for completionists sake
"'Anorl" means "and all" the North of England is a lot of slang over thousands of years its just become common 😅
This game is exactly their humor. I’m so glad they’re playing this!
it took me a long time to realize that nonce isn't just a friendly rib that friends use on one another. god, that was an embarrassing day.
as a person from the uk, its so refreshing to see americans appreciate and indulge in our culture and humour. Thank you for playing this!!
I started watching British tv when I was about 7 or 8. Now I hardly ever watch anything American anymore. The British/Irish humor lines up with mine so much better.
Anorl is “and all” usually meaning ‘too’ though it’s not an exclusive context. So the caption ‘That’s what I thought anorl’, means ‘that’s what i thought too’. We don’t type anorl, it’s just how it’s pronounced (an-all) in speech.
Please finish this game! It's barely 2 hours long and extremely worth it!
Okay but Dan talking about The Young Ones made me so happy. It's the pinnacle of absurdist humour and it's only fitting that the Grumps know that it exists. 10/10
I'm genuinely upset that they keep missing the "my wife could learn a thing or two" bit.
As someone from Yorkshire it both warms my heart to see these lads playing this game, but also hurts so bad to hear them juggle some weird hybrid of London/Scottish/Irish accents when trying to replicate ours 😭
i'm SO thrilled that you're playing this! the only downside is arin's negative-value patience 😂 there are so many delightful little bits you can only find if you take your time and interact with EVERYTHING
Thank goodness you played this! Please play all of it! I was hoping you would play it and I would love to see you play through it all
Kilroy is who Arin is thinking of lmfao
Kilroy was here
"An'arl" = "And all", used in Yorkshire as an informal version of "As Well".
“Rogers a nonce” the fact Dan said this with such innocence is great
You guys have to finish this! you have 1 maybe 2 episodes more until you finish it but its just so charming!!!!! I absolutely loved the end
As a Northerner, this was one of the best Game Grumps episodes i've seen. Dan being utterly enamoured with our humour made me so happy
I like how much of this is just genuine laughter.
My prediction is, they're going to completely forget about all the running gags by the time the circle around again
Considering they likely have confirmed to have locked themselves out of the best joke in the game since according to another user they did finish setting up the sign. Yeah they will! The best joke I refer to is the fish joke!
Thank goodness the Game Grumps are here. This game is so ridiculous that it’s right up their alley.
That whole opening to the game felt entirely like Monty Python. I’m a fan already!
They just HAD to go poncing off to Barnsley!
@@ImNotJoshBoltz “Tungsten carbide drills?!”
It's actually a British game.
It feels to me like Monty Python’s flying circus
Every time they mention London, I can practically feel the rage reverberating through the earth from a northwards direction
Being from Barnsley, this is gonna be so surreal. I can’t wait! 😂
Sir Patrick Stewart's place of birth!
@@Lord-Gazimus Beef Stew and Buttery Nubs
He went to my old school in Mirfield !
Lovely, small details in this game; my grandparents had the exact same kind of dresser as the one one the right of the guy's house @ 27:15. Unexpected memory!
oh heck yeah, loved this game, happy to see these legends play it
Leave it to Arin to slap everything with multiple voice lines exactly once, and slap everything non-interactable infinite times
“Thank you Danny and Arnold” we say in unison
As a Northener, this game is INCREDIBLY accurate
5:00 motto reads "Strong of arm, thick of head" XD I'd love love love if you guys finished this, it's DELIGHTFUL!
I love the art style in this game. Makes me think of those knockoff Where's Waldo or quirky activity books from the early 90's....
Holy crap. I just remembered that AMAZING MAZES book by Rolf Heimann. So many hours just looking at the fun drawings in there.
So happy you guys are finally playing this but please explore as much as possible and listen to everyone's individual stories as there's alot of funny dialogue to be heard
28:25 that poor talking worm 😢
They flattened him without even noticing 😂😂😂
Arin not making all the rats come out at the same time was driving me nuts 🤣
He did though, but nothing happened?
samesies, that and kicking the micks bricks guy every time he goes past but not kicking the shutters he's trying to open 😂
@@LordSenile nah, when you get all 3 out at the same time, they all sing a little tune
The flower bit reminds me of some comedy advice from a Simpsons producer. In the audio commentary for an older season (forgot which episode and which producer) they basically said if you keep a joke going on and on it’ll get less and less funny. It’s like a slow decline, but after a certain point it shoots right back up to the funniest thing ever. 😂
I love how at 18:57 you can hear the voice actor almost laugh.
18:51, the dude with pops vibes hums tip toe thru the tulips lol
Anorl is slang for "as well", its the phonetic spelling of shortening "and all" to "an' all"
But of course Arin doesn't punch the people with additional dialogue but hits everything else multiple times.
His wife could learn a thing or two.
I love that dan was able to piece together the lube puzzle because of his experience with adventure point and click games 10/10 love them both
Dan should legitimately be the one controlling this playthrough (assuming they continue). Arin is just skipping over half the jokes.
@@miwright21 usually I defend arin but we need dans calm slower demeanor to get the full experience of this game
arin is adhding all over everything LOL
@@miwright21 and I hope they do continue!!
@@puddinbuns Eh, as someone else with ADHD I've grown weary of it being used an excuse for him acting the way he does--because it's not just that. He's impatient and jaded and that just means he and Dan end up missing some cool shit in a lot of games.
I still want them to continue as well...but if they do I'm resigning myself to the fact that they're going to miss all of the jokes that aren't scripted into cutscenes.
As a man from the North of England and a long time Game Grumps fan I couldn't have hoped for a better video! Please play more of this game!
I'm so glad they're enjoying this game. It's such an absurd and very British thing that I wasn't sure if they would 'get' it.
The fishmonger's voice is *incredible*
Hearing them try to go northern is so fucking funny
19:13 “T’was nary a tuppence! T’was a thruppence!” My favorite quote I’ll be using for the rest of my life. 😂
This reminds me a lot of Jazzpunk, another very funny game where the exploration gameplay is mostly a means to show off all of the jokes that the creators stuffed the game with. That would also be a great and short Game Grumps series.
This has to be the greatest thing. it's so Arinesque and to somehow mess things up perfectly and then do exactly what he needs to something else. Its great to watch the community suffer at Arin impeccable ability to fuck things up lol
I love that he hits the guy after the lawn mower 1 time has actual dialogue walks away for 5 minutes comes back hits him for the 2nd bit of dialogue just to be like "that was someone elses conversation" lol yeah it was his from 5 minutes ago lol
"Everyone's so friendly!"
"That's England for ya!"
*Shakes head in Southern*
Also, "Anorl" is "and all".
Obviously not the same, but makes me miss my family in Scotland. I’m first generation American, and sometimes just anything British makes me happy because the humor from across the pong always cracks me up.
The plumber/handyman sounded a bit Scottish, the way he said his first line “och, it’s no use Marge!” I was like hang on a minute! He sounds like one of my cousins, but with an old man voice! 🤣
I wonder how much of this Dan and Arin *actually* understand. To me, having grown up with a Scottish mom and visited the family fairly often, it’s not much of a problem, but I’ve witnessed people not understand a thing my mom says, when it all sounds perfectly normal to *me.* I’m honestly surprised they knew what a “spanner” was, because I rarely meet Americans who know (wrench, which one of them later said, btw)
Love this shit. Can’t wait to see more :3❤
Thank goodness it’s Game Grumps
thank grumpness its good game
A million Yorkshire folks shook their fists at the mention of London 😂
I notice new things every time I watch these playthroughs like the moving vans that never move... there's at least three in every town
21:29 I believe if you punch him again he says “my wife could learn a thing or two” 😂
*Me who lives close to Barnsley in the UK understanding everything*
*Arin & Dan struggling like mad*
