Doronoko Wanko is the 249th game the Grumps have beaten. I dedicate this episode to Princef Tanks (and my dear departed Pomeranian/Chihuahua mix, Parker).
@@miguelnewmexico8641 she spends a lot of time in that chair, while her pom absolutely destroys the house...i wonder what shes think... ...think... ...thinking about?
I’m genuinely so upset that they never noticed the owner passed out on the slide in the toy room. They kept panning over her legs and I kept expecting Dan to point it out in shock, but they kept missing it!
Tbf, it took me a few minutes of frantic searching, pausing, rewinding, searching again (this time with less sanity), to find the legs. It's disappointing fs, but I think it's pretty understandable they couldn't find them.
About the lobsters: Lobster was indeed considered the poor man’s food, but usually only if you lived by the coast. If you lived further inland lobster became expensive because it’s hard to keep lobster from spoiling when transporting it inland.
To expand upon that, once refrigeration allowed it to be transported inland, demand for it skyrocketed to the point that it's now expensive everywhere.
To expand even more, lobster was a food for prisoners on the east coast, and they passed a law that they could only feed lobster to prisoners so many times a day, because the amount of lobster that prisons were feeding its inmates was 'inhumane'.
to add a note - the largest officially recorded lobster was caught in Nova Scotia and weighed 44 lb, and was over 100 years old based on growth patterns.
Everything about this is blessed. The fact its called "Muddy Puppy." The famous art redone with poms. The Princess Tinkles/Princef Tanks mention. How unabashedly giddy they are about it all. 10/10 experience.
I have wanted them to be guests for so long, but i would hope Arin conducts himself as he does outside of GG, because "I've gotta do a show" energy won't translate as well to the CR table, lol.
my "thats not chocolate" story -- used to keep a fish tank that consisted entirely of carnivorous species ( but species that were not interested in eating each other, don't worry, i ain't an idiot ). so they ate carnivore fish food and occassionally had some suppluments to fill out their diet. Meat scrap, crayfish bits, and related to this story, bloodworms. Blood worms are tiny reddish brown worms that are sold in little tin squares, kind of like those pill things where you have to push out each individual pill. I had thrown the box away to save space so these little dark brownish squares were stored in the freezer, visible, but unidentified by a label. My brother, famously, will take whatever he finds in the fridge and claim it as his own. He's like the worst fridge raiding coworker ever. I caught him SECONDS from putting a blood worm cube into his mouth. Stopped him before he succeeded "THATS NOT CHOCOLATE--" ...and that is why this story is ALSO one of my life's biggest regrets LOL that look in the eye with karma would probably have trained him to finally ASK before assuming any and everything is a public domain free for all
"Wan wan" is the sound a dog makes and -ko is a diminutive suffix so wanko is a slang or childish word for a puppy. Doron means to hide or slip away, so I think the idea is a cute puppy that's precocious and always getting into trouble.
Had to look up the meaning of 'Doronko' (covered in mud) but with that I can offer the meaning of 'Doronko Wanko' as 'puppy/doggy/doggo covered in mud'. 'Inu' is the Japanese word for 'dog' but 'wan' is their onomatopoeia for 'bark' (the sound a dog makes). '-ko' means 'child' and is a common morpheme used in names (usually girls' names). Hence, 'wan'+'ko' = literally 'bark child' but (less literally), puppy, doggy or doggo.
Meanwhile the Ghost of Orson Welles hovers about the house sobbing over all the broken bottles of wine. in-between large chugs of his boxed jumbo-sized Franzia ectoplasm
Anytime I think of Orson Welles's ghost I can only picture that scene from The Critic where he was still trying to advertise products in the afterlife. "Yes! They're even better when you'e dead!"
Extra work for ads pays off. You skip everyone else's boring ad reads, but if someone's writing skits around them, that's all it takes to keep people watching
11:12 well, see, the thing is, I’m actually allergic to cacao nuts. So hearing that phrase immediately after saying, “oh, I’d love to try that, but I can’t; It’s chocolate,” is the only set of circumstances where hearing that phrase is good. 😇
I would 100000% pay and watch a movie where Arin sits down with a kid and says "Hey kid, ever heard of Starbomb?" then plays a whole minute of The Hero of Rhyme
3:07 Reverse Mario Sunshine 10:26 there are legs sticking out of that slide on the left. Is she a whino? 12:03 Will he eventually figure out the markers in the children's play area? 18:40 Oh so now the slide.
Me watching Grumps play horror games: "Ha, ha. This is fun." Me watching Grumps play Doronoko Wanko: "NO, I can't watch! Stop, please! Clean it up! HOW DO YOU CLEAN IT UP?!!"
Can we please have Game Grumps full-length claymation holiday specials? I am fully ready to allow them to replace "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" in my brain.
For the record, Doronko Wanko means sneaky pup.. like literally 'sneakingchild barkchild' but I think it's also a pun on 'doro' like dirt. You are sneaking around making dirt so it works
This game hits close to home since when my mom moved into her current house, our dog actually did this to her house. Expect it wasn’t mud, it was black paint.
I am so happy that I was shown this free game by the Grumps. It is adorable and has made my day a multiple times when I've played it! Have they played The WereCleaner? It seems like another free game they'd have fun with.
9:26 I heard about that. Supposedly, lobster was just served to inmates, but after the introduction of garlic butter or something, nobles ate it up. Or, was that caviar...?
Doronoko Wanko is the 249th game the Grumps have beaten. I dedicate this episode to Princef Tanks (and my dear departed Pomeranian/Chihuahua mix, Parker).
Wow can't wait for 250 either tomorrow or in two weeks from now lol.
Thanks Insaneian! You're record keeping makes all of gamegrumps feel like one giant quest. RIP Parker
o7
RIP Parker
2:22 For those wondering:
Doronko (泥んこ) =
Mud/Covered in mud
Wanko (ワンコ or ワン子) =
Puppy/Doggy (cute/child-like way of saying dog)
So it's justified when I tell my dog to stop being a wanko?
muddy puppy!
Translation: Muddy Puppy.
The auto translate says Dog Child
If I can add to the adorableness "wan" is the onomatopoeia for bark and "子/ ko" means child so it's like "bark kid" or "dog child" and I love that
Every piece of artwork they use for their thumbnails is adorable
Truly
You’re adorable
if anyone remember's the artist's name leave a comment pls :')
i know i saw them somewhere before, but i can't remember their name
Agreed. Now I wish they can use this specific thumbnail for merch; I would love some Game Grumps pom. stickers
@@trinalps it's krookedglasses!
The cannon shoots blue paw prints, gotta leave clues so the owner can figure out who made the mess
so they can know it was... on PAWpose
when the Grumps pointed out the pawprint-shaped blasts, i started hearing those kids' voices in my head, "a Clue! a Clue!"

they went around on that train for so long lmao
Sometimes the beauty of game grumps is in the missed opportunities
they are blind sadly
Tbf, it took me a few minutes of frantic searching, pausing, rewinding, searching again (this time with less sanity), to find the legs. It's disappointing fs, but I think it's pretty understandable they couldn't find them.
Their ADHD brains probably prevented them from noticing that
Fun fact: this was made by some junior devs at Namco as part of an internal development program.
Like bandai namco? Hmm that is weirdly interesting
No wonder this reminded me of Katamari, same company lol

I think this is the time to get Max Miller as a guest grump on this show
@@muadddib that would be awesome!
to add a note - the largest officially recorded lobster was caught in Nova Scotia and weighed 44 lb, and was over 100 years old based on growth patterns.
Oh no, they missed the mom slipping on the slide and lying there for half the video!
Would you give me a time marker pretty please? 😭 I was actively looking and couldn’t find it!! I feel so blind
@@thekennek10:00 I think! (That’s the first time I notice her legs)
I adore their advertisements. They probably know we love em but it needs to be said. "The system works" killed me
hahaha i watched it twice, it's so cute
>"The system works" killed me
So did Arin!

If Dan went on CR he could play Danny Sexbang as the most archetypical bard imaginable.
I would think he would be a trickery domain cleric and his Invoke Duplicity would just make the Dan-nequin
Might be in competition with Scanlan though.
@@nathanweast4397 Everyone else at the table: "By the gods we have two of them now."
@@tomaja7719 Scanlan: Scanlan's Hand::Danny Sexbang: Infini-Dagger!
@@nathanweast4397 I have never wanted any crossover more than this one now.
7:34 "DOGFACE! IMPRISONING ME! ALL THAT I SEE! ABSOLUTE PUPPIES!"
30 minutes ago I had no idea this game existed. Now I need it!
It's free on Steam!
Dan on Critical Role would be amaz-balls
Now that he’s said it I really really hope they get him on there!!! Maybe even for a Daggerheart session!
I have wanted Arin and/or Dan as guest players on Critical Role for YEARS! PLEASE get them on there.
🙏
I have wanted them to be guests for so long, but i would hope Arin conducts himself as he does outside of GG, because "I've gotta do a show" energy won't translate as well to the CR table, lol.
Let this comment be a petition
13:02 Arin barking a few notes of the Metal Gear song made my day lmao
Over a decade later and Princef TANKS is still hydrated, thriving, and staying in their lane
WHAT?! A DECADE?! THAT... that can't... that can't be right...
It can't be... 😭

That's a Transmutation Circle! And you're an adorbale dog! Quick! Someone get the family's daughter!
I feel like a terrible person for immediately knowing the reference, and yet I still laughed.
;-; pls no

Oh no... :(
The dead mum in the corner 10:00 I can't LMFAO
(Report anomaly)
1:37 is that child Apollo Justice wat da hell
Apollo's 4th backstory
Omg! 😂
I thought the same thing lmao
@@elliliv8753how many dads does this kid have????
The return of Prinsef Tanks
Reminds me of Little Kitty Big City, which is surprisingly addictive. I think they would love all the litter critters in that game
15:40 that would prob give me bigger whiplash than when Matthew lillard made that cameo for their nord-verse ads

I loved that ad, ngl.
Extra work for ads pays off. You skip everyone else's boring ad reads, but if someone's writing skits around them, that's all it takes to keep people watching
it's creative, artistic, took effort and dialogue, and it perfectly encapsulates the Grumps
the animatin at the beginning is so good LMAOOOOO arin stabbing the table with an exacto blade was perfect
DAN ON CRITICAL ROLE YES PLEASE
1:37 Oh look, it's Apollo Justice, this must be one of his early childhood backstories.
"it's like Splatoon for dogs" is the new "it's like Skyrim with guns"
Doronko Wanko sounds like a gag nick name they would give to the game Danganronpa
1:36 That kid's hair straight-up looks like a young Apollo Justice and I love it, that's awesome
2:33
Always like when Arin says "cute" like that
Missed opportunity to say that Arin was both hydrated with the game grumps water bottle, and staying in the lanes of his notebook's margins
10:58 -- Amazed Ninja Brian hasn't pitched this for a song title 🤣
That thumbnail is probably the cutest game grumps thumbnail I’ve ever seen 😩😩
I could see Dan on CR as a primevil druid throwing out hot dino facts
i remember when bandai namco announced this and it was a free one. honestly, very cool of a big company doing something this charming like this.
okay but Dan and Arin on critical role would combine my two internet religions and I would be thrilled
I don't know who does the thumbnails, but we can clearly see the evolution through the videos, keep it up !
Wasn't expecting the random Red Alert voiceline from Arin at 13:35
I'm glad someone else caught those Spy voice lines 😁
8:44 - Hahahahaa
8:49 - Yes
13:01 - Hahaahaha (that game over jingle was amazing 💖)
23:39 - Hahahahaha, that's awesome
Arin: "On my way ... For king and country" Dude says the most niche shit and I love it. Quoted from original Command and Conquer. Love these guys.
I will never forget 1:13 thank you for blessing us
😂
that dad is JACKED
Sounds very kissable to me.
11:12 well, see, the thing is, I’m actually allergic to cacao nuts. So hearing that phrase immediately after saying, “oh, I’d love to try that, but I can’t; It’s chocolate,” is the only set of circumstances where hearing that phrase is good. 😇
I would 100000% pay and watch a movie where Arin sits down with a kid and says "Hey kid, ever heard of Starbomb?" then plays a whole minute of The Hero of Rhyme
1:09 Dog Island flashbacks
3:07 Reverse Mario Sunshine
10:26 there are legs sticking out of that slide on the left. Is she a whino?
12:03 Will he eventually figure out the markers in the children's play area?
18:40 Oh so now the slide.
This game is so adorable, I wish it was longer
This might be the cutest game i've ever seen! This just puts a smile on my face with each new fun thing you can do to create *Colorful Mayhem!*
Princef Tanxxx (and by association, the IRL version who was Danny's doggo) is the only pomeranian I'll accept.
aw that's cute a little dog ga- 2:52 OH MY GOD I NEED THIS GAME
I've always ALWAYS loved the way you guys do your ads on your videos but the claymation ones always blow me away, like, that must take so much time...
The intro promo is very funny. Love the use of grumps’ holiday versions in it. 10/10
I laughed so damn hard at Clay Arin stabbing that guy and then Naruto running away.
“The system works!” 😂😂😂😂
11:05 you’re right Dan it is terrifying when I eat an oatmeal raisin cookie and say, “that’s not chocolate”
-ignores every button except splash
-FIFTEEN SECONDS LATER
-"Can I roll in it WHERE'S THE ROLL BUTTON"
Me watching Grumps play horror games: "Ha, ha. This is fun."
Me watching Grumps play Doronoko Wanko: "NO, I can't watch! Stop, please! Clean it up! HOW DO YOU CLEAN IT UP?!!"
I love that their kid is just straight-up Apollo Justice from Phoenix Wright.
That claymation makes my entire life ❤
This game looks so fun. I’m getting untimed Katamari vibes from this and I love it.
Can we please have Game Grumps full-length claymation holiday specials? I am fully ready to allow them to replace "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" in my brain.
their claymation intros are so good. it must be so fun but I can't imagine how fucking long it must take to make them
I love how the puppy rolled in like one puddle and then entered the giant house and simply learned how to *multiply*
The claymation ad reminds me so much of Robot Chicken that I watched the whole thing.
That skit at the beginning of the video was awesome 🎉❤
The kid is literally little Apollo Justice 🫢 same hair and everything 😂
loved the little animation at the beginning . great banter
This is one of the most wholesome game grumps episodes and I’m here for it
Love Arin's Naruto run after shanking that dude in the claymation ad
Remember to Game your Grumps every day, gentleman and ladies
I just adore these claymation intros
Me: "This game looks fun, I wonder how much it is?"
Steam: Free.
Me: "Don't mind if I yes!"
It's adorable that, after all these years, everything always comes back to Metal Gear for Arin.
the 'escape' sign appeared at 9:46 and it was not immediately addressed; all I crave now is E S C A P E
"Muddy Dog" haha. Accurate translation
Okay but can we get Dan on Critical Role for real though? He could be the Unicorn Wizard!
Can I like, get a dvd collection of all the stop motion claymation bits? Idc that they are ads. I needs them.
Everyday that Princess Tinkles in mentioned is a good day ❤ rip queen
23:35 lmfao THIS ONE
For the record, Doronko Wanko means sneaky pup.. like literally 'sneakingchild barkchild'
but I think it's also a pun on 'doro' like dirt. You are sneaking around making dirt so it works
It's like goose game but with a cute doggo. So sweet. I hope they make more.
23:20 you have to play this again!
It’s incredible to see such kindness and love. Thank you all!

20:10 was the most wonderful sound
11:05 I also like the alternative of “that’s not beer”
9:26 I heard about that. Supposedly, lobster was just served to inmates, but after the introduction of garlic butter or something, nobles ate it up. Or, was that caviar...?
I was waiting for the cute game to start but the claymation add interests me
this house is what is gonna inspire their 'thanks for your money' tour
What a good way to spend a lunch break 🫶🏻 chaotic and adorable
I genuinely hope Dan does a guest star appearance on Critical Role.
6:22 I would pay $1,000 to the devs to see the Anc from Dog Island burst out of the circle and grow the evil tree from the Grump's joke lol
I think I’d actually freak out if I saw Dan on Critical Role
This game reminds me of the scene in the Curious George movie where he fucks up the man with the yellow hat's neighbour's apartment with paint
13:34 I can't believe this, but did Arin just quote the spy unit from C&C: Red Alert?
