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.
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"
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)
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.
@@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
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!
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
@@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.
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.
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
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. ❤
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.
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!"
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.
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
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)
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 😭
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!
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
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
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❤
@@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.
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 my god. I first saw Jacksepticey play this for 2,5 hours and it was hilarious. The lore actually keeps on getting deeper til you finish the game. Good stuff.

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.

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".

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"

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.
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.
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 😂
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
The flower gag is legit one of the funniest things I've seen in a game. Absolutely legends, the devs.
Roses are red…
Violets are blue…
*Reggie’s Wife could learn a thing or two*
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
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.
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.
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. ❤
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
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!"
This game is exactly their humor. I’m so glad they’re playing this!
“Rogers a nonce” the fact Dan said this with such innocence is great
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! 😍
Arin outing himself as a tiny pie man right off the bat is *_craaaazy_*
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.
HOLY shit i literally gasped. Thank goodness its here!
Cory's not reacting very well with the la air
Armenian Corey???
I'm genuinely upset that they keep missing the "my wife could learn a thing or two" bit.
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"
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.
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'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
Please finish this game! It's barely 2 hours long and extremely worth it!
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.
You would think if a game had "BumBum" in it, Markiplier would be playing 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)
The translator option was when I knew this game was golden. As golden as my little yellow face
Kilroy is who Arin is thinking of lmfao
Kilroy was here
5:00 motto reads "Strong of arm, thick of head" XD I'd love love love if you guys finished this, it's DELIGHTFUL!
3:16 "That's okay, I wanted to feel alive before I die"
*body slams the bus* 😂😂
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 😭
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
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!
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 !
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
"'Anorl" means "and all" the North of England is a lot of slang over thousands of years its just become common 😅
“Thank you Danny and Arnold” we say in unison
oh heck yeah, loved this game, happy to see these legends play it
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
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!
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❤
I love how at 18:57 you can hear the voice actor almost laugh.
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.
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
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
Every time they mention London, I can practically feel the rage reverberating through the earth from a northwards direction
"Everyone's so friendly!"
"That's England for ya!"
*Shakes head in Southern*
Also, "Anorl" is "and all".
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.
Anorl is slang for "as well", its the phonetic spelling of shortening "and all" to "an' all"
Please, PLEASE dont let arin miss the fishmonger thing near the end 😂
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'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.
Arin has no patience for this game 😂. He’s missed like more than half of the jokes just running ahead.
21:29 I believe if you punch him again he says “my wife could learn a thing or two” 😂
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
Thank goodness the Game Grumps are here. This game is so ridiculous that it’s right up their alley.
As a fellow Yorkshireman, I understand every single thing going on in this game.
Hello, fellow Yorkshire man! I'm from Sheffield!
@@Lord-Gazimus A pleasure! I'm up in Doncaster!
@@Lord-Gazimussame!
Hearing them try to go northern is so fucking funny
Thank goodness it’s Game Grumps
thank grumpness its good game
28:25 that poor talking worm 😢
They flattened him without even noticing 😂😂😂
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 my god. I first saw Jacksepticey play this for 2,5 hours and it was hilarious. The lore actually keeps on getting deeper til you finish the game. Good stuff.
It's spelled Jackspedicey
6:17 I want to see a smiling hamburger gently gliding across the screen
Ah, the heady days of Burgy and Barry. :)
So happy they are playing this. I don't know if he realizes he's basically speed running the game though.
cant believe no one is talking about the comically long garden hose that stretches past the well, into the sewers and on the faucet of the fishmonger's sink
19:13 “T’was nary a tuppence! T’was a thruppence!” My favorite quote I’ll be using for the rest of my life. 😂
"Thank goodness you're here, dad!" *kiss
@4:56 when she puts the real card on the screen lmfao
I love watching Americans try and grasp British humour (especially Northern humour)
"An'arl" = "And all", used in Yorkshire as an informal version of "As Well".
Can tell you as a UK resident, the language is legit. This game is fantastic, brilliantly charming.
