I think Dans problem is not correlating the position of the bankrupts and the strength he uses, it appears as though arin pays attention and knows the minimum strength will go around at least once otherwise the game would make you respin a bunch. edit I take that back, 21:18 an almost half strength spin doesn't do a complete spin, guess this isn't price is right rules. second edit, actually dan around here you can goto an 'adult sandbox' and take a lesson or two on how to operate big twucks and get your wish. Price of that wish might be a little steep though if you don't want to hang around for four to six hours.
Wait, you're telling me Dan got "Kennedy Nixon television debate" with like 5 letters on the board but couldn't get "Batman Forever" when the only letter missing was V?????
Kinda has that "you can't fire me, I quit" feeling. But Dan played the reverse Uno card and asked for a raise. Big brain thinking or grasping at straws?
Dan coming home to Ashley at the end of the day after getting his ass handed to him at Wheel of Fortune. “Hey honey, how was your day?” Dan silently crying, “I don’t want to talk about it.”
Remember that time Dan and Arin hosted GMM dressed as Mario and Luigi, and the challenge was they broke open a ? box that had a 50% chance of dropping something gross, and Dan somehow managed to get the gross one every single time? Thats this game
Dan has said before that if he ever got on the actual show and did THIS poorly, he would give the show its first ever “self-strangulation” moment by grabbing his own neck until passing out on camera.
We need to know for sure at this point, someone find a developer that worked on this game and ask if player 2 is intentionally rigged to lose this bad.
This copy of Wheel of Fortune is like one of those creepypasta stories where the game is cursed. Except this game is cursed to make specifically just Dan lose.
“I am writing this because some strange things has happened after I bought this game from the old man down the road. Every time I play with my family it just scrolls the wheel to the 500 next to bankrupt but instead of the 500 I get bankrupt”
I really don’t know how he didn’t get that one, I’ve never even seen it and I got it. Not immediately but as soon as they mentioned the first word could be Batman. And I’m usually not too great at these games either. So yea, one of the few times I was just about screaming at my phone too.
Honestly I would be strangely honored that some programmers I have never met decided to design their game to specifically detect, target, and screw over me in particular.
"What joy is there in this curse?" - Dan, probably. Also when I hear Dan's despair it reminds me that people need eight hugs a day and I hope he is getting enough hugs
@@fennec8896 I meant in the last few episodes. Dan misclicked and lost his turn 3-4 times and Arin would just select a throwaway letter to give the turn back to Dan, but it just didn’t matter
6:20 when Allie handed Dan the Swiss Army Knife I was taking a swig of coffee, assuming I was safe and I can now say I've legitimately done a spit take.
He has done so, i have some memories of things like the April fool's that was only their cam footage and no gameplay (although I think that one he was on the left) and Bomberman in which he recorded himself pretending to play vs arin when it was actually a hard AI
For real though, I'm wondering if there's something specific that Dan is doing that's making the game land on Bankrupt that often. Has anyone tried looking at the game's source code to see how it's making the choice? Is it something that specifically happens with Player 2? I'm really curious, and there's a big enough fanbase here that it feels like something we should be able to work out.
Me: *Admiring my cool hand armor as I listen to the video since it took a while to hook on* Dan : 12:58 "I wish you'd use that hand to choke me out." Me: *Not smiling anymore and immediately lowers hand from sight.*
"I am on the show, asking for a raise." "...Really?" "... n o ..." Aw, come on, Dan! I don't know how much you make or how much is reasonable but stand up for yourself!
I envy the depth of emotions Dan feels when he's experiencing new things for the tenth time due to the onset of his dementia. Most people could have probably remembered that both "Name" and "Occupation" were separate categories to "Title," but not our Dan. This is a whole new world for this ol' save file!
You know, its always fairly common for Arin to sit to Dan's right, yet for some reason it always almost *sounds* somehow that he's on the left, and I always imagine them as such
10:36 It became so obvious seeing that M fall into place, I'm surprised Arin didn't blurt it out! Dan was a bit preoccupied in this episode, though, I don't blame him for overlooking it.
I don't know why but can you feel the sunshine from Sonic R was going off in my head this whole game... can you feel it Dan, can you see, the sun is shining on you, it makes you feel so free, so alive, it makes you want to survive, and the sky, it makes you feel so high, the bad time pass you by, cause today it's going to be a better day... can you feel the sunshine.
![Dan FINALLY tries out being player 1 | Wheel of Fortune [2]](/img/n.gif)
You know it’s gonna be a classic game grumps wheel of fortune when Dan doesn’t get to guess a letter until eight and a half minutes in
UWU
And his very first spin starts off with a bankrupt on top of that. Poor Dan...
Or Arin blurts out the answer on Dan's turn.
@@BattleTanxs 4375.
We swear Dan's good at this game... Or at least, we theorize he'd be if he ever got to play it!
12:26 Dan's "batman foreged" has the same energy as Arin's "Pretzels.. dopped?"
Omg I’m glad you mentioned that! I completely forgot that golden moment in history. 😂
Sending Alfred to forage around the pantry for the Mustard Dopp

The saddest part is "dayan" means "endure" or "keep holding on" in Turkish and knowing that makes watching dan suffer a lot worse.
No. It makes it better.
No it makes it canon
OH NO THAT'S SO BEAUTIFUL AND SAD
That’s depressing… and hilarious… lol.
It was meant to be.
Arin just GETTING the jackpot on-demand essentially, fucking killed me.
Yeah, just after he said he might end up giving it over....absolutely sent me.
“Jackpot On-Demand” sounds like a streaming service. But it’s just a compilation of Arin winning, and Dan landing on Bankrupt/Lose a Turn.
@@requiemforameme1 Sounds like a good name for a gambling service.

Dan: "This is literally unknowable"
>K N Y D B T<
Dan: "Oh it's clearly Kennedy Nixon Television Debate."
Is Dan actually 80?
Nah, you're probably 10. Most of us learned a lot about history and retained it. Gen z and Gen a only care about games

Wait, you're telling me Dan got "Kennedy Nixon television debate" with like 5 letters on the board but couldn't get "Batman Forever" when the only letter missing was V?????

He's old.
that is because, no one wants to remember that movie
He's from a different era.
@@Koyol Pff, I'm the same age as him and I got it earlier.

Arin: "Dan winning."
That has the same energy as "Hey, Brad's score's still up there."
Arin is just James Holzhauer.
I forgot about that clip
It's ironic that Dan is joking about offing himself when Arin is so thoroughly murdering him already.
Kinda has that "you can't fire me, I quit" feeling. But Dan played the reverse Uno card and asked for a raise. Big brain thinking or grasping at straws?
@@ronjones-6977 I love Arin's legitimate surprise at Dan's request for a raise on the air essentially
This comment and replies got me choking! 🤣🤣🤣
Learn to laugh at yourself and the whole world will laugh with you :)
Dan's just trying to make it end a bit faster and less painfully.
You know its gonna be a good 30 minutes when dan sounds like hes disintegrating in the first 5 minutes.
dan “batman foreger?” avidan and arin “pretzels…… dopped?” hanson
The GG Animated potential is off the charts with this episode.
Someone tag Shoocharu
Specifically with the confetti flying over Dan’s confetti
@shoocharu
the sound design in this game is legendary.
*guesses the wrong letter*
(buzzer sound) …”OOOOOUUUGGHH”
I love how Dan had his “Pretzels Dopped” moment on the Batman puzzle
Haha. It was great, and also you reminded me of the "mustard filled chocolate eclair" from the real WoF bloopers.
@@mage1439 I know i"m super high when I just thought, "Hmm, I've got mustard AND chocolate eclairs in the fridge. I wonder.....how bad could it be?"
Dan: "is it a swift and merciful death?"
Vannah: "No"
I figured out the reason this is so entertaining: Arin blissfully guessing the answers out loud while Dan ponders the best method of ending it all.
"I wish she'd use that hand to choke me out."
Wow! Discovering more of Dan's kinks as the years go by.
Pretty sure they just forgot to record a “player 2 wins” voice line so the game is rigged to never let player 2 win. That’s the only explanation
“Let’s check in on how all the players are doing after this round!”
*shadow of Dan hanging from the rafters*
HAHA, Doki Doki am I right?!
Arin goes to check on Dan and gently opens the door

Someone get Danny some haagen-dazs, we’re about to have a sad Hoshi moment
Remember that time Dan and Arin hosted GMM dressed as Mario and Luigi, and the challenge was they broke open a ? box that had a 50% chance of dropping something gross, and Dan somehow managed to get the gross one every single time? Thats this game
Yep. Why do game shows always produce such GG gold?
And then they confirmed in the Good Mythical More that it was all unscripted and Dan’s luck truly was that bad
3:03
I love it when Twink in the movie Twink said "It's twinkin' time" and twunked all over the place
What if Arin and Dan went on the actual show. I think that'd be hilarious. And the money could go to charity or towards Dan's therapy bills.
Proceeds to replicate THIS specific moment.
I'd support a pay-per-view of that calamity...I mean, event.
I am a little surprised they haven't tried to get on Celebrity Wheel with Brian.
Dan has said before that if he ever got on the actual show and did THIS poorly, he would give the show its first ever “self-strangulation” moment by grabbing his own neck until passing out on camera.
"Batman Foreger" has the same type of energy as "Pretzels dapped in mustard"
You should play with 3 controllers and give Dan 2 of them. See if he loses twice.
I actually really love this idea
This would actually be the moment Dan killed himself
Seems like a fun game. I hope Dan gets to play it some day
I can't help but feel Dan needs a win. How about a friendly game of chess?
Nope. Monopoly.
Arin is the Game Boy! He always wins!
He's going to need to relieve some stress by failing Vanna White's "Try Not To Conclude Challenge"
Monopoly. it's time for Arin to suffer for ALL of his sins and Dan to point and laugh at him
Dan cant win though, Arin is a sore loser so Dan can never have a satisfactory victory xD
We’re gonna find out that Dan made some sort of Monkey’s Paw deal for being good at Sierra Games but it means he can never win Wheel of Fortune
After all this Danishment, I would like to see Arin face his old nemesis, Mario Maker
Or 1v1 monopoly.
Or chess
Yes, as Dan’s revenge for losing Wheel of Fortune.
Yeah specially the p is for pain world
@@DaRoachDoggJR. 2 turns in, WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH THIS!
We need to know for sure at this point, someone find a developer that worked on this game and ask if player 2 is intentionally rigged to lose this bad.
I love the desperation in Allie’s voice when she says “Why did you give the knife to Arin?!”
I was really bummed today but “you bought an NFT of a monkey?!?” Made me lose it. Thanks boys
"Which episode of game grumps did you like Billy?
"I liked the episode where Dan didn't get to choose a letter for a LOOOOOONG time."
Oh. You like Dan’s suffering too? 😈
"At least it can't get any worse."
Yeah, when you have no money, you have nothing to lose except your turn. And your sanity.
Sorry, Dan.
read that as "sowwy" I need help lol
I can't believe Dan had his "pretzels DOPPED?!" moment
What did we do to deserve Arin asking for the jackpot and getting it right away?! I have never laughed so hard at a GG moment
This copy of Wheel of Fortune is like one of those creepypasta stories where the game is cursed. Except this game is cursed to make specifically just Dan lose.
It's because the game knows that's his middle name.
“I am writing this because some strange things has happened after I bought this game from the old man down the road. Every time I play with my family it just scrolls the wheel to the 500 next to bankrupt but instead of the 500 I get bankrupt”
I bet after this Dan takes the game outside, beats it with a hammer, burns it, then dances around the flames while screaming maniacally. XD
They should have ended the episode with an AVGN-style destruction sequence. I can't help but think it would be very therapeutic.
Or.....he takes Arin outside and does the same. He's teetering on the edge.
screaming “BATMAN FOREVER, ITS FUCKING BATMAN FOREVER” at my phone is just what i needed to complete my relaxing sunday afternoon
I really don’t know how he didn’t get that one, I’ve never even seen it and I got it. Not immediately but as soon as they mentioned the first word could be Batman. And I’m usually not too great at these games either.
So yea, one of the few times I was just about screaming at my phone too.
sCrEaMiNg YOU: 😐
@@fennec8896 funnily enough I got forever pretty quick but couldn't for the life of me think what the first word was until he said Batman
I said "WHAT" out loud and then Dan responded.
18:46 Dan really has the best "it's like..." analogies.
I like that Daniel, while playing the 70’s disco board sees a picture of 70’s San Francisco and his only response is “that’s not a current picture.”
Dan's definitely going to need a game of chess to recover his spirits after this.
18:33 You could feel Dan's inexpressible exasperation in that quiet sigh.
Danny's "Batman Forever" has the same energy as Arin's "Pretzels dopped in mustard"
Honestly I would be strangely honored that some programmers I have never met decided to design their game to specifically detect, target, and screw over me in particular.
“That is not a current picture.”
The game’s 20 years old…
lol. Even that picture looked like it was taken in the 70's.
And the pictures were at least 20 years old when it was made.
So nice for Dan to accompany Arin in this singleplayer game
sounds like there needs to be a 10 minute power hour where dan gets revenge on the disk version of this specific game
"What joy is there in this curse?" - Dan, probably.
Also when I hear Dan's despair it reminds me that people need eight hugs a day and I hope he is getting enough hugs
I'm looking forward to Dan's Joker arc.
Dan>Arin in chess
Arin>Dan in wheel of fortune.
PERFECTLY BALANCED AS ALL THINGS SHOULD BE!
You know, as bad as I feel for Dan getting assaulted repeatedly by PS2 Wheel of Fortune … you missed fucking Batman Forever?? Really???
Worst part is that the first few rounds in this session, Arin tried to give Dan every chance at winning
The Game itself was just NOT having it though.
Yea especially at Batman forever… I’m glad he didn’t just straight give it too him though.
@@fennec8896 I meant in the last few episodes. Dan misclicked and lost his turn 3-4 times and Arin would just select a throwaway letter to give the turn back to Dan, but it just didn’t matter
Hilarious but the frustration with Dan was epic. I'm yelling it's batman forever at the tv lol.
And Arin even said it earlier, WTF..... But the Bed of Roses puzzle solve was impressive.
Dan: Does a cover of a song from the Batman Forever soundtrack.
Also Dan: "Batman Foreger?""
6:20 when Allie handed Dan the Swiss Army Knife I was taking a swig of coffee, assuming I was safe and I can now say I've legitimately done a spit take.
Dan had his "Pretzels dopped..?" Moment with that Batman puzzle. 😂
Let Dan be player 1 for these please, also, no AI was DEFINITELY a mistake
*Dan has $2100*
“That’s almost a month of rent.”
Holy shit, I couldn’t imagine
And I always imagined that Dan sat to Arins right. My world topsy-turvy.
Nah, I always pictured Arin in the right-hand player 1 position.
He has done so, i have some memories of things like the April fool's that was only their cam footage and no gameplay (although I think that one he was on the left) and Bomberman in which he recorded himself pretending to play vs arin when it was actually a hard AI
Arin: I know the answer!
Dan: Oh, well I don't so I guess I'll pass.
Dan: I know the answer!
Arin: [runs out every clock the game has]
For real though, I'm wondering if there's something specific that Dan is doing that's making the game land on Bankrupt that often. Has anyone tried looking at the game's source code to see how it's making the choice? Is it something that specifically happens with Player 2? I'm really curious, and there's a big enough fanbase here that it feels like something we should be able to work out.
When vanna says "jackpot round" if you listen you can just as easily hear "jetpuck round"
I had to replay it because that's what I heard the first time
Dan is already crying and we’re five minutes in. This is going to be good.
I love Dan but this is histerical. I would love to see you dudes do "The Price Is Right".
Me: *Admiring my cool hand armor as I listen to the video since it took a while to hook on*
Dan : 12:58 "I wish you'd use that hand to choke me out."
Me: *Not smiling anymore and immediately lowers hand from sight.*
“Fictional character”
“Dan winning”
Hehe
Dan silently weeping in dejected Uwu is now my favorite thing
12:24 Another "pretzels dipped in mustard" moment xD
28:18 "NUKE INCOMING!" MW2 PTSD triggered xD
I would absolutely love to see Dan try to play WOF IRL 😂
I know right? It would be amazing to watch!
I want Arin so he’ll yell the answer out for someone else
We’d have to see if it plays out the same way there as it does here; then we can prove the curse is real 💀😂
He'd end up owing the show itself money at the end.
I mean, WOF's also done "best friend" weeks in the past, so...
24:35 In my head I have always pictured Dan on the right side of the couch... My brain could not comprehend the look to your left comment
"I am on the show, asking for a raise."
"...Really?"
"... n o ..."
Aw, come on, Dan! I don't know how much you make or how much is reasonable but stand up for yourself!
Title: "We swear Dan's a good Wheel of Fortune player."
Dan: "Batman Foreger?"
I envy the depth of emotions Dan feels when he's experiencing new things for the tenth time due to the onset of his dementia. Most people could have probably remembered that both "Name" and "Occupation" were separate categories to "Title," but not our Dan. This is a whole new world for this ol' save file!
Special Grumps intro:
Arin: I'm not so grump?
Dan: AAAAAAAHHHH!!
… The ‘Batman Forever’ killed me internally, I was literally keeling over in my chair-
Fans: "Can you please finish Growing my Grandpa?"
GG: "ANOTHER WHEEL OF FORTUNE COMING RIGHT UP!"
I feel like the background music was made for this disco set and the game designer was like screw making more songs, I'll just have it for all of them
When Dan said: Batman foreger?
I think i laughed as hard if not louder than Arin XD
I hope Ashley has seen all of these episodes and comforts Dan at home. He needs it O.O
Dan's luck with WoF is like the Loser Wheel in Trivia Murder Party. Except the big wedges are "Dan Loses" and the little ones are "Arin Wins."
21:56 instead of 16 L’s there’s 17, last one from Dan of course
PLEASE 💀💀💀💀
Legit, I will pay the rental fee of the steam roller for footage of Dan running over the Wheel of Fortune disc...
Now let them swap positions of power and have their annual round of chess.
Arin slaughtering Dan at Wheel of Fortune is the cosmic scales balancing after Dan absolutely decimates Arin at Monopoly every time.
"I'm here asking for a raise, due to a hostile work environment" 😂💀
This episode has proved that Dan's personal Hell is being stuck playing Wheel of Fortune for all of eternity
You know, its always fairly common for Arin to sit to Dan's right, yet for some reason it always almost *sounds* somehow that he's on the left, and I always imagine them as such
6:50 probably one of my fav interacts between Arin, Dan and Allie
Considering Dan did a cover of Kiss From a Rose I feel like he should've gotten the batman puzzle easy.
Yeah that one hurt. Especially after the word "Batman" is revealed you'd think you'd revisit your assumptions about what Title means.
Oh my god... You'd think because of the numerous times Dan has sung Kiss From A Rose he'd know it was from Batman Forever. 😆
“Batman forever” is Dans version of Arins “E-Y-E” moment in BOTW 😂 poor guy
10:36 It became so obvious seeing that M fall into place, I'm surprised Arin didn't blurt it out!
Dan was a bit preoccupied in this episode, though, I don't blame him for overlooking it.
Pretty good estimate Arin, 4000 weeks is just shy of 77 years
Dayan had his own "Pretzels...dopped?" moment in this one
it's astonishing how consistent their luck is
I don't know why but can you feel the sunshine from Sonic R was going off in my head this whole game... can you feel it Dan, can you see, the sun is shining on you, it makes you feel so free, so alive, it makes you want to survive, and the sky, it makes you feel so high, the bad time pass you by, cause today it's going to be a better day... can you feel the sunshine.
