Arnold's poopie story teaches us the lesson that if you hold a shit for long enough, it will eventually pass, so don't give up when things get hard and long and meaty :)
@@broravioli907 Arin also permanently enlarged his butt hole in the process. Sometimes it's not good to persevere but know when to pull back, regroup and try from a different angle
im just dissapointed they didnt comment on the first console having ONE kb of ram hahaha my personal PC has 20, like 12 more than is even necessary to have games on max
dan: yeah there was this really rough period in my life where i just couldn't make ends meet so i'd have to sleep in my car sometimes and it was rough becau-- arin: yeah yeah anyway i took this AWESOME shit this morning
Dan: *starts to tell a very personal story and bares his soul* Arin:*interupts to tell a story about a shit he took today* i feel like this scenario basically just sums up game grumps
Maybe you can only jump once, and falling doesn't remove your ability to jump? So some things in the game may need a "double jump" maneuver... just not anything he's encountered so far in the game.
@@rugxulo I know this is 10 months past, but if Dan wanted to "keep it light", would he have mentioned it? He brought it up and wanted to inspire people. He even mentioned that's what Arin did, and Arin went "Yeah, well," which is quintessential bullshit mode for anyone acting innocent
"Some walls are not what they seem" *is standing on a huge brick wall that's differently colored from the rest of the level* Arin: what the hell is that supposed to mean?
im proud of you arin for making it that far without using the button and challenging yourself- oh wait you just forgot the button? you mean like usual?
There's a distinct difference between suggesting something to someone because you genuinely think they might have a good time with it, or, like Dan said, taking personal ownership of someone else's thoughts and feelings towards the thing YOU want them to do. The best way to ensure that I will not watch something is when I get attacked for it. "WHAT?! YOU HAVEN'T WATCHED THIS?? WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU" or "What, you won't look into this piece of media that contains things you clearly dislike? Lmao what a wimp" .... well thanks, now I'll put it off for even longer. Or not want anything to do with it. Real A+ social skills you got there.
I completely doubt Phoenix Wright is gone, guys. They record in advance, and also I think they're on tour(?). The point is reception was good, so its definetly gonna come back.
One one hand, a very relatable poop story. On the other hand, a possible epic about Dan's financial trails and tribulations that was squashed by a very relatable poop story.
kievan brown please stop kissing Arins ass. There’s nothing relatable or funny about hearing about a grown mans ASSHOLE for the past 5 or 6 years. It’s played out.
I dunno man, knowing that dan deals with Ross and Brian daily i believe he has a stronger resistance to those kinds of things. Besides, he's a full blown MAN and he's FORTY so he can handle it
these episodes are just the back log already recorded, they're probably playing Ace Attorney right now and will bring it back some point next month if their was rabid fan demand for it, which I hope there was
Thanks Arin, its not like i WANTED to hear that story Dan was telling and its not like i actually cared or anything. Your shit was obviously more important so thx
Dan: I'm going to share a very powerful life story about how I had to sleep in my car because of money problems that will likely inspire many Arin: Time to talk about how I took a big shit this morning, something trivial and unimportant that completely disrespects my friend and what he was about to talk about Nice one Arin. Nice one
Don't know if it's just me, but Dan sounded genuinely disappointed when Arin interrupted his super personal story about poverty and homelessness with a joke about taking a shit
i feel like im in some mandela effect esque alternate reality cause i swear i watched all of the game grumps play all of wii punch out at once point, including the like bonus donkey kong stuff. but then there just isnt a full playthough uploaded. videos didnt just get taken down right? if not i guess i must of just reached the end of their playthrough then went to another channel then remembered it as being them
Wow, lemme just say, im very happy Arin caught the "doodoo", i looked up from my phone like "he better catch that too". Thanks for not letting me down bro
Dan, thank you SO MUCH for recommending Glitchmob. You always recommend really interesting bands so I make it a point to always check them out. I happened to click on "See Without Eyes" and saw they made a whole short film for the album and it was incredible!
9:22 in my career I've only ever once come across a 4-bit system and that was an early 90s microprocessor for digital thermostats (so incredibly, incredibly simplistic). The first generation of Tamagotchi and DigiMon virtual pet toys both used a 4-bit microprocessor (one that was commonly used for digital thermostats).
It'll be back. right now they're on tour so all this is precorded weeks back. I think they said that they were gonna continue with Pheonix wright during an undertale livestream once they come back
the way fans say that you two act like an old married couple is just so so heightened in this episode (btw dan please continue the story that was interrupted with a relatable? poopy story)
I'm at my cousin's house right now chillin and shyiiit. He says he saw y'all when you were in Kansas City last week. I thought you'd already come through or I'd have gone too, if it wasn't sold out. He said you guys did like blind folded Mario with the audience and it went really well for once haha. And that there was a lot of audience participation with Mario Party mini games and whatnot. Sounds like a good time. Hope ya come around again someone. Hope you had a good time in Kansas City!
Next video in my "to watch" playlist is Jacksepticeye's Trover video, so I'm greeted with "Oh ho, not so fast there". I feel like Jack just scolded me for skipping a Game Grump video. I'm sorry, Game Grumps.
“1981! That’s when Rush released their album Moving Pictures! And 1984...when Rush released their LP Grace Under Pressure.” I like how Dan and I remember years the exact same way
Nice to know I wasn't the only one who looked at that last level they were on and was like "oh, guess I can swing from ceilings if they're red . . . Arin isn't gonna figure that out, huh?"
I hope was joke cuz i feel bad if dan got cut off like that...im sure arin wouldnt be a dick like that, if he thought he was serious... If he did, im sure was accident.. Cuz they are such good homies... And If somehow its all fake Friendship... then they are great actors
That talk about Black and White tvs, my mum saw the Wizard of Oz as a kid on a Black and White tv. So she spent years not knowing that the movie bursts into colour until she watched it at Christmas at a friend's house. Just imagine that. You have No idea. Then BOOM this movie you love changes right in front of you.
Am I the only one who got really annoyed at 13:52 ? Like Dan tried to tell a very personal serious story and Arin just keeps going on about his own shit. And when you think he's going to say "I'm.. I'm really sorry" he's like "I'm... I'm really hoping you let me tell you about my shit" I love GG but wtf?
Poor Dan, telling a heart wrenching story about his past only to be cut off by Arin about the oh so important shit he took. This happens all the time, maybe listen to your friend.
"Some walls are not as they appear" He solved the riddle immediately, but the riddle was so strong he had to solve it multiple times, still never having realized he had solved it.
So uh... this game has a "Double Jump" that you unlock later... But you can still Walk off ledges and do mid-air jumps to reach things. And that's essentially what the game expected you to do on the ZX Spectrum Level. Yeah, it's just as ridiculous as it sounds.
Game: The interact button will be used a lot!
Dan: Is there another button?
Arin: NOooooooOOo?
Classic grumps!
Start at 2:00, then cut to 18:25. For reference. :)
What's really infuriating is that Arin read the instructions out loud at the beginning and was told again when he started a new console.
@@agiar2000 Thank you!
@@pale2457 You're welcome!
Dan: Potential emotional heartfelt story about his impoverished past that will no doubt inspire the audience and brighten our lives

@@broravioli907 Arin also permanently enlarged his butt hole in the process. Sometimes it's not good to persevere but know when to pull back, regroup and try from a different angle
I don't think we've had a Dan "that reminds me of a time from my childhood" story in like a year or longer.
I take poop stories VERY seriously.
I was so worried that Dan was going to interrupt Arin's inspirational poop story with some stupid tale of poverty
im just dissapointed they didnt comment on the first console having ONE kb of ram hahaha
my personal PC has 20, like 12 more than is even necessary to have games on max
Uh... kilobytes. Not megabytes, gigabytes, or terabytes.
@@KaladinVegapunk If your computer has 20 kb of ram, your computer is shit and wouldn't be able to run chrome, let alone modern games.
13:53, for reference.
dan: *sees 1981
me: he's gonna say the rush thing
dan: *says the rush thing
me: this is a bonding experience
Good thing you didn't say that to him or he _DEFINITELY_ wouldn't have said it.
i like how danny starts to tell a short story about when he was homeless and then arin cuts in about the massive dump he took.
Also not to mention the fact that dan was trying to tell a story about him doing heroin and they just??? Dont address it???
@@Pixeleyes00 The heroin part was a joke.
@@Pixeleyes00 That was joke
Well that's a regular day on game grumps. Arin interrupting Dan during sensitive topics
You like it? I don't. Arin should really stfu sometimes and give Dan the floor.
I had hoped the story we were going to get back to was Dan's about him sleeping in his car not... Arin's poop.
"Don't forget your Action button" - IMMEDIATELY forgets.
That‘s because they didn’t read it.
Classic Game Grumps right here.
Yeah, he didn't forget, he simply wasn't aware of it because he skipped that dialogue.
dan: yeah there was this really rough period in my life where i just couldn't make ends meet so i'd have to sleep in my car sometimes and it was rough becau--
arin: yeah yeah anyway i took this AWESOME shit this morning
13:53, for reference.
I was looking forward to listening to Dan’s story :’(
What story?
@@everythingpony 13:53
I was going to like your post but didn't want to ruin the amount of likes being 420
oh god i hope Dan goes back into that story. please say he goes back into that story
NO ILL NEVER KNOW WHAT HE WANTED TO SAY!
And whatever it was it was interrupted by another story of Arins bowel movements.
no doubt it'll be addressed in a later episode and hopefully expanded upon
And somehow Arins shit story was so important, he felt like he couldn't not share it
Yeah I love arin but him interrupting that story bothered me a bit
Dan: *starts to tell a very personal story and bares his soul*
Arin:*interupts to tell a story about a shit he took today*
i feel like this scenario basically just sums up game grumps
10:42 when Arin accidentally jumps while falling, doesn't realize it, and never uses it in the moments were he needs to. Ahh classic.
You're right. When I saw it I thought he'd timed the jump so well that he only lost one heart on the spikes.
Maybe you can only jump once, and falling doesn't remove your ability to jump? So some things in the game may need a "double jump" maneuver... just not anything he's encountered so far in the game.
I think it was a bit of "Coyote time"
That's a huge bit of coyote time. He fell 3 or so "squares" and jumps right when he was about to touch the spikes.
2019 has been full of amazing episode starters, and now I can add “and that was the year my father died~” to the list.
What's up, cucks?!
Bienvenue powerbottoms
Bo Fo Sho Arin said that in the Super Mario Bros Wii edition playthrough they did in January, in the cockiest voice possible
My favourite is "if you ever get bored, just punch an orphan! What are they gonna do, tell their parents?"
@@carl_consumer.of.reality it means "WELCOME POWER BOTTOMS!"
Danny was going to share a life story and music suggestions until Arin literally left a floater for us to take a long whiff of. Game Grumps.
13:50 - dang kinda took the wind out of dans sail
15:30 - welp this is an awkward episode
18:35 - lol
Dan : “Arin, allow to me confide in you about my mid-life crisis struggles...”
Arin : “POO-POO!!!”
Danny: Oh, is there a button aside from your jump button?
Me: Yeah, there's the action bu--
Arin: NO.
Me: Hoo boy...
"Is there a button besides jumping?" "NO!"
Ahem, 2:04...
He also presses it later in the episode as well.
Wow I'm so happy Arin told that story while I was eating my tuna bagel
You haven't learned to not eat and watch game grumps?
I really wanted to hear what Dan had to say about that hard time in his life, but I guess hearing about Arin's poop is important too.
Apparently much more important. It even sounded like it bothered Dan for the rest of the episode.
@@S1L3NTASYLUM96 No it didn't, and Dan probably wanted to keep it light anyways.

Yeah in the last Undertale Livestream they said they were going to get to the genocide run but it'd be about two weeks for the tour.

21:10 "I'm no fool!" - Arin the fool
Dan: talking about how hideous and grotesque the pink blobby things are
me: ...i thought they were cute
I'm so used to Guru Larry's videos that I can only ever call it the "Zed X Spectrum" even though I'm American.
I watched this screaming zed zeeeed ZEEEEEEEED
It's hard to explain Glitch Mob, just listen to Drink The Sea and get immersed in an incredible electronic orchestral album.
Yo Danny saying he likes Glitch Mob makes my heart strings tingle a little. Fingers crossed one day I see him at one of their shows
I would love to see the Grumps tackle Contradiction: Spot the Liar. You guys would have a riot of a time with it.
Dude. Dan. Ratatat and Glitch Mob *are* incredible. Good job.
“1981! That’s when Rush released their album Moving Pictures! And 1984...when Rush released their LP Grace Under Pressure.”
I like how Dan and I remember years the exact same way
"Scoops Hagen Dazs" just made my day

Nice to know I wasn't the only one who looked at that last level they were on and was like "oh, guess I can swing from ceilings if they're red . . . Arin isn't gonna figure that out, huh?"
Arin: mentions the book 1984
Nobody:

I always get so excited when Danny references bands that I know.
You get the double jump after beating all the ZX Spectrum levels
This game has such a cool concept! And it's adorable!
4:09 Arin Hanson, did you just quote IFC Yipes?
CURLY MUSTACHE!~
Glad I'm not the only one that caught that.
This is the moment where dan starts to question some of his life choices.
DAN KNOWS THE GLITCH MOB OMG I'M SCREAMING YES DAN YES !!!!
_Omg I'm literally screaming I'm literally stabbing myself right now holy shit I just literally killed a man wow omg_
11:50 he dodged the "I'm ProJirard the finishist" comment so hard there
Did Dan just say that he tried heroin while living out of his car and practically being homeless?
Yes, but Arin had a poop story to tell so, you know...priorities.
Probably but we'll never know cause Arin wanted to talk about his shit
I hope was joke cuz i feel bad if dan got cut off like that...im sure arin wouldnt be a dick like that, if he thought he was serious... If he did, im sure was accident.. Cuz they are such good homies... And If somehow its all fake Friendship... then they are great actors
He has told stories of sleeping in his car before, but afaik he was never addicted to heroin.
Heroin was an obvious joke
Oh man loved this new episode of Phenix Wright
I'm living for when Arin is excited/happy to play a game.
Are we all ignoring the fact that Dan is a god damn vampire
I NEEDED TO SEE IT TOO GOD DAMN. Thanks for your adamantium bones of adamantiness, Dan.

I assumed it was a SUPER SONIC RACING!!!
Poor Dan, telling a heart wrenching story about his past only to be cut off by Arin about the oh so important shit he took. This happens all the time, maybe listen to your friend.
Dear Arin,
Your poop story really spoke to me. I completely understand. I just wanted you to know that.
Thanks for sharing
You had to use the ACTION BUTTON to talk to the professor, and then IMMEDIATELY said there wasn't a button other than jumping. Good job, Arin.
"Some walls are not as they appear"
He solved the riddle immediately, but the riddle was so strong he had to solve it multiple times, still never having realized he had solved it.
So uh... this game has a "Double Jump" that you unlock later... But you can still Walk off ledges and do mid-air jumps to reach things. And that's essentially what the game expected you to do on the ZX Spectrum Level.
Yeah, it's just as ridiculous as it sounds.
Not sure how that's ridiculous. It's a pretty common trick in a lot of games. Especially older ones.
