I know "Yes, that's the joke" but I want to say how much I appreciate this being put into the best phrasing of the exact reason it's so damn funny. Just the tiny nuance of the tone of how it was spoken instantly invents months and years of backstory where this editor-boss-person is just so fucking sick and tired of dealing with Peter's misguided work.
@@Lucifersfursona I didn’t even think about it. Like, the boss has been dealing with Peter’s nonsense for ages but (I like to think) he’s someone on the boards kid so he can’t be fired. I’m building a whole back story for Peter.
Like his boss knows how many times Peter has written self serving dialogue to boost his ego and he's just done with him at that point, that's the vibe I got. 😂
Danny's got a point-- to me, the 'funny part' is less from the actual Joke, and more from the way "[Arin] didnt SAY that it was cutting to a different scene, we just Instinctively Knew..."
Realizing just now the reason that part isn’t remotely noteworthy to me is bc system talks like that when we make jokes to each other all the time- shared headspace means the setup can happen way more quickly than speaking can. Incredibly charming to see two people who don’t literally share a braincell do it too 😂
RIGHT??? Like, I can so CLEARLY see the animated version of this clip, like with it being trained on Peter and the model lady, as it slowly zooms in on Peter's face... and then hard cut/snap zoom out to reveal the boss standing behind him like "Peter, what is this?"
It absolutely makes it way more hilarious that they don't even have to actually explain the scene for you to understand, you just instantly know that's his boss
I literally was so confused the whole time because first of all I thought this was a Spider-Man game and second of all I didn't get the scene at first bc I didn't hear everything they said 😂😅
@@izthisgaming1844It’s funnier if Jameson actually calls him Peter, because it’s like he snapped out of “boss” mode and is trying to have a man-to-man discussion with him.
Sometimes I cannot get over how effortlessly funny Arin can be. He just pulls out the funniest possible thing anyone could say without even thinking about it.
@@TheSecondBeef To me it feels like people who say that just don't really watch Game Grumps. They saw a few episodes from 5+ years ago where he screamed and farted and decided that's what he is for forever. He has become so much more funny in recent years when he has actually tried. Not that he doesn't scream or fart still, but now he actually tries to make it funny.
My favorite "Peter what is this" moment comes actually from the Bible. Moses writes down how great and humble he is, the most humble than any other human specifically. All in third person.
This is one of the funniest bits GameGrumps went with lol the amount of times I say this is way too many times me to work mate across the hall when we submit documents to each other, "Jessica, what is this?" 🤣
“That episode was so skibbity! I could really tell how dan was rizzing up his absolutely gorgeous kitten and smoochable lover…” Dan: Arin… What is this?
this and the jigsaw bit from this playthrough are my favorite bits from this playthrough which is saying something about because it's a hilarious playthrough with eldritch horror protagonist
omg I actually forgot that this is where "Peter what is this?" came from, they say it all the time now and I thought they were quoting Family Guy or something. Comedy gold.
The infinite exhaustion in “Peter *what is this”*

Peter does have that nepotism horndog vibe

to me it's the 1-2 combo of Arin starting to make it sound like a JOI video and the moment the change hits we get that hard cut to Peter's boss
You're so right- the absurdity of the situation was made so much funnier by how quickly we clue in on it just from that one line delivery

A great example that it's all in the delivery
I like that Dan recalls the entire joke to Arin, just KNOWING that Arin doesn't a remember any of it.
Ironically he didn’t say that he didn’t remember the joke, they both just instinctively knew
@@shanemiller1182 Arin know to forget things he's said, no matter how long ago. He forget things in the middle of episodes alot.
Why did you become italian at the end there
Peter, what is this? Is something I say on a daily basis ever since that episode came out and I’m not complaining
hi smeeeef
omg it’s smeef! i also go “peter what is this” in my head whenever i fuck up a minor task
same lmaoooo
Anytime I have an out if pocket thought I go "Peter what is this?"
It’s funny af 😂
“Peter, what is this?” holds so much lore
An immediate all-timer gag right here.
We need a whole compilation of Dan reminding Arin of jokes he made.
THIS
I want one of every time Dan sings the TONY HAWK! bit out of nowhere
Please make this apart of game grumps merch. A shirt that legit just says "Peter, what is this?"
I would love one
Me too!
It absolutely makes it way more hilarious that they don't even have to actually explain the scene for you to understand, you just instantly know that's his boss
And you included the chess scene/reference! Thank you!
Ahh thank you! I was just searching for this reference.
@@MetalsorowME TOO Oh my gosh 😂😂😂
A photographer named Peter and a redhead model? Nope, not ringing any bells.
Jameson: Parker! I’m… not even mad about this script. Just disturbed. Not even Spider-Man would come up with something more depraved.
@@charlesdunn9222 I'm glad I wasn't the only one imagining his boss voiced by Just Kidding Simmons.

“Spider kick, spider punch, spider spiiiider, spider kick, spider kiiiiisss”

This is the funniest bit in years, so glad they came back to this game
“Peter, what is this?” entered my vocabulary so fast

People like to say the opposite, but Arin is actually 60% of GameGrumps, comedic-wise

I’m glad I wasn’t the only one who died laughing at this part 😂
i’ve been looking for it for about a month 😭
can’t believe they got nancy drew and bad ben in the same studio
Peter what is this? is my favorite character.
I watch this clip at least twice a week. Just to cheer myself up.
My favorite "Peter what is this" moment comes actually from the Bible. Moses writes down how great and humble he is, the most humble than any other human specifically. All in third person.
i quote this all the time to myself whenever im exasperated at work. gets me through my 12 hr shifts lol
Thank you for this, shit made me lose it at 4 am 😭 “Peter…what is this”
Reminds me of:
"Ey man! Whaddya doin?"
"I'm playin nut!"
"WhY dOn YoU cOmE OuTsIdE?!"
"..Larry what the fuck is this shit."
Oh god I haven't thought about that in a literal decade. Great deep cut!
Carl, what is this?
My stomach had the rumbilies that only hands could satisfy.
@@charlesdunn9222 What?
@@macdongr that’s a llamas with hats reference
weather carl, what is this?

Somehow the retelling of the joke was actually funnier than the original, and the original was really funny
this is by far my favourite running gag in the show 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Peter what is this
unfortunately i say this every week
this is definitely one of the best game grumps bits, right up there with gems such as "i shot and i missed"
"And you JO really well!"
"I certainly try my hardest to!"
Roses are red,
So are hibiscus
"Wow Peter, you J.O. so well!"
"Peter, what is this?"
I just always imagine Brian from Family Guy asking Peter this, due to the voice they give the guy lol
I thought thats the joke lmao
i laughed so hard at that i got light headed.
It’s one of my favorite bits ever. Need a shirt.
This is one of the funniest bits GameGrumps went with lol the amount of times I say this is way too many times me to work mate across the hall when we submit documents to each other, "Jessica, what is this?" 🤣
One o' the best bits in a while.
dan is so supportive
Waiting for a remix of this in the next sbassbear musical moments
Keep at it!
... Go on
I love how it turns into JOI
Thank you Carl very cool 👍🏻
I can't believe this what shows up now when you look up "what is this" instead of the famous Sonic 06 episode
Thank you for uploading this
FOR REAL 😭😭😭😭
“That episode was so skibbity! I could really tell how dan was rizzing up his absolutely gorgeous kitten and smoochable lover…”

he knew what he said lol
what's up with arin having hilarious moments with the phrase, "what is this"
I wanna try to work this into the lexicon of me an my brother but im not sure how.
you gotta include all the peter what is this clips since, there's one in yesterdays destruction playthrough
and one on today's ranpa
Oh God, this was my first time hearing this. That was fucking hilarious! God I haven't laughed like that in a while😂
Thank you.
PETER AND HIS HOG
omg I actually forgot that this is where "Peter what is this?" came from, they say it all the time now and I thought they were quoting Family Guy or something. Comedy gold.
SAME it plays constantly in my head any time I or anyone else say "what is this"
Hahahaha! Yes! Thank god this showed up in my feed, I've been dying to remember where this originated from 💖💖💖💖💖💖
Lmao that’s Joe Swanson right there
How is it that Dan explaining the joke is almost as or even funnier than the original joke?
Why did I read the title in Lois Griffin's voice?
So it's not a Family Guy reference?
This Is what It came from?
God DAMN game grumps have fallen off. When do we get the Danny only show?
Shut up
I can’t stay mad at a guy with a playlist called Auditory Vibtrations gonna be saying that shit for weeks god bless
