The contrast between Kyle McKarly (who voices the nut cracker and is a very well known voice actor) and then Charlie's voice provider, is just incredible
I thought I was just seeing things when I noticed the bully character at the beginning of the game had dark skin, and was the ONLY character with dark skin… then the blatant anti-semitism showed up. Between that and the hilarious voice-acting, this gave us a dumpster fire. I just feel bad for the artists who put so much time into such beautiful backgrounds, lmao
Arin progressively going to pieces and descending deeper and deeper into full-blown anxiety when he was stuck on that puzzle piece screen was both puzzling and incredibly entertaining.
I laughed, but then felt sad because that is actually how it feels when something with technology doesn’t work for me. 😭 I immediately panic and freak out. Idk why and idk how to control it. It’s so frustrating.
same, for me it’s confusing websites and online portals - like please just let me sign up for this thing, i don’t know why you deceive me with menus within menus within pop-out option bars and stupidly finicky drop down lists, just let me go home, i beg you, NO I DON’T WANT YOUR NEWSLETTER
It’s spellbinding. I mean the guy who does the nutcracker isn’t exactly *amazing*, but at least he’s trying. The tin soldier guy isn’t even attempting… I’m imagining the guy didn’t even put down his latte while doing his recordings in the booth.
I just need everyone to know that this is one of my actual favorite Christmas-themed games. There's an ENTIRE SERIES of these games and they get weirder and weirder each year. There are 11 of them so far.
Am I looking at the wrong thing on Steam? Christmas Stories bundle only has 7 games and there isn't one titled The Little Match Girl, is it called something else?
Me as i start the video: "Yaaay another horrible christmas game with stupid plot!" Me 40 minutes in: *Gasp* " OH MY GOD CHARLIE'S BEST FRIEND SHOT HIS LEG TO GET THE BARON'S BOUNTY?!?!?!?"
@@sammieqt_ At least that is what i've gathered cause Barney's last action was getting a gun and then it immediately cut to Charlie saying " *someone* shot me in the back of the knee"
Your post reminded me of Arin talking about that movie Dragonheart. When's he like... "At first I was like, "oh, fuckin Dragonheart, here we go *eyeroll* Then 30 minutes in I was like, "*panting* BUT, UH, HE DOESNT REALIZE THAT'S THE DRAGON THAT SAVED THE KING!!!!" lol.
I know this is a joke and all, but I would love for us to reach a point where we don't find humor in middle aged men having fun. I don't get why we view age as being determinant of your character and why we view maturity not in terms of emotional regulation, but in terms of the most arbitrary stuff like playing games (and this is coming from someone more than half the age of these guys)
@@MariaSantos-uo3pb i agree, and i didnt mean anything by it on my comment. Im only 20 and yet i am shamed for liking things that are “for kids” by my parents. I love the game grumps for the exact fact that they get to enjoy and make jokes about whatever they want freely and in a loving environment with friends. I love arin and dans relationship because they love eachothers quirks and often play into it to make jokes. They show that despite being adults and at a age where they would otherwise be deemed too old or childish to play stupid chistmas games they unapologeticly have fun with it. Thx for ur comment:) /g
@@TH-cam.Commen-tater It's sometimes taught that way, I think as an easy way to relate them to one another. But you can go much higher on the bass clef than middle C and much lower on the treble clef. It's just an easy milestone, one line above/below the bass/treble staves, respectively. And then C clefs are a new sort of fun all their own! Tenor clef, alto clef, which are commonly or almost entirely used by certain instruments, and the even less common soprano clef (there are some weird notations in Renaissance-era music).
@@Triairius I suppose it's entirely dependent on what instrument you're notating for, if any. *plays ascending Super Ultra Hyper Mega Meta Lydian scale to infinity*
@@requiemforameme1 Something else I appreciate about Ethan having watched him on so many charity streams, this man is great at getting people pumped for doing good. He has this energy and obviously cares, and that's something that won't get much mention but it needs to be appreciated.
I love that I discovered markiplier and the grumps separately but then they just happened to be connected. And then I loved Ethan from Mark and now he's with the grumps sometimes too. Just perfect
Thank you! It killed me inside to hear them say bass is only 4 lines and that it’s “FACE” which is the spaces in treble clef 😂 it’s understandable bc they don’t read music but still a lil painful lol
Cliff notes version of the Cliff notes version of Music Fundamentals The treble clef is the clef that's higher. It is typically used from middle C upwards. The Bass clef is the lower clef. It is from middle C downwards. They're separate so that you don't have to do multiple ledger lines in one direction. Some instruments and voices in the treble clef are, Soprano voice, flute, clarinet, trumpet, alto voice, and french horn. Some voices and instruments in the bass clef are bass voice, trombone, tuba, euphonium, tenor voice, and bass guitar. Sincerely, A future music teacher
Me and a friend were just saying last night how these games are our favorite weird game grumps tradition. It wouldn't be jingle grumps without a findy puzzle game! Edit to add: oh good, the plot is batshit insane, these are the best ones
YEEEESSSSSSSS! A Christmas Miracle✨ EDIT: Came back to add I really hope the second one comes out for Christmas, and that every time these guys get together with EEF it is nonstop hilarity. Ethan is like their little brother and the three of them are just the same energy and I love it. Happy Holidays Grumps, EEF and Grump Fam! ✨❤🎄✨
ok but he was actually right about the treble and bass clefs, arin just completely made something up then said they both didn’t know what they were talking about lmao
I personally know very few musicians with the knowledge of music notation, and I can't imagine there being that many in the world, percentage-wise. They're uncommon if we're not counting actual classical musicians
@@daeundances I actually just saw her playthrough of the "White Wolf of Icicle Lake" (idk if that's the right title,) and saw the bit with the "I fired and I missed" guy and it was so fucking funny. I don't think I ever properly connected that that was from a Nancy Drew game like Gab plays, and then she just got so excited about that part and was making a bunch of "I fired and I missed" jokes. It was like worlds colliding.
Danny was so close to explaining the clefs. The only part he's missing is they point at a line on which the notes start. They start with a different note depending on the clef. For example, the bass or F clef tells you which line the F starts on. And yeah it's lower than the trebble clef, which points to a higher G note. It's so you don't have to always start with middle C and end up writing all your bass notes 3+ lines below the bottom line lol.
Don't forget the Great Staff - the one with two sets of lines with treble above and bass below - you get that a lot in piano music and similar, to cover the large number of notes those instruments can do.
Ole Lukøje is the Danish (Probably rest of Scandinavia as well) version of the Sandman. The name Lukøje is a combination of the words "Luk" which means to close something, and "Øje" which means eye. So he is Ole Close'your'eyes
I love how Ethan is like the little cousin that gets to hang out with Danny and Arin during the Christmas family reunion and they share weird stuff they found in their backyard, it's really wholesome 🧡
13:38 - Musician here. The clefs are used as a general range for each instrument. Higher instruments (flute, violin) play in treble, and lower instruments (tuba, cello) play in bass clef. Notation is just reading for people who can read it.
💙I waited to watch this until Christmas morning and I'm so glad I did! You guys just don't know how much you've made my day. this is the 1st year having Christmas without my mom and I didn't think I would be able to laugh today!♡ so thank you guys so much!💙
35:00 this whole image feels like a very specific hate crime. How coincidental that the villain of a Christmas game has lots of money and a very prominent nose hmmmm
I can only hope that we get another clip worthy of the old grandma choking to death on smoke lmao. Legit one of my favorite moments in all of game grumps
Charlie’s voice…actor reminds me of those stand ins for actors in movies. Not the talent carrying the role but someone who resembles them from afar enough for the crew to get the equipment set up properly. Except he was also the final talent
"Am I crazy? No, I saw something. Do you want to ask the nutcracker for a hint?" What an amazing sequence of sentences caught on tape by these gentlemen🤣
I was trying to paint my nails while watching this and literally had to pause the video to finish it because I kept laughing and so my hand kept shaking lmao
I was saving this for Christmas morning, and boy was it an absolutely great way to start the day. It was hard to eat breakfast because of how much I was laughing - Both out of how all three guys were firing on all cylinders, and how unusually dark the story is for a Hidden Object-style game.
I love how with the difficulty mode selection it's Nina's, Charlie's, and Nutcracker's mode. Not Albert's mode. Nutcracker's mode. He got his name privileges revoked, he can only be known as the Nutcracker for the rest of his life.
Arin playing games with Dan: 'So I put this on the hardest difficulty, and NO, DAN, you're not bringing the difficulty down!' Arin playing games with guests: 'So I set the game to the easiest difficulty so that we can have a good time. See how things twinkle when you can interact with them?' I get the feeling half the joy Arin gets out of regular GG is just making Danny have an existential crisis every episode now. XD Very special kind of friendship where you get to unashamedly troll each other in the semi-abusive manner, and both of you be cool with it.
i like the almost correct info about treble/bass lol. a staff always has five lines and four spaces, treble and bass are used to tell you where c4 (middle c on a piano) would basically be, which then tells you where the other notes would fall. arin also named FACE, which is spaces on a treble clef staff, not the lines on a bass clef staff lol
Them not being able to explain a base and treble clef isn't super important, but the hard work and dedication you put into your degree certainly does matter.
@@Mex_Luigi Na, I'm not musically educated the way some others are, I don't have a degree or any schooling or anything, it would make me sound like an idiot.
@@Elstree Oh I hardly think so, but the basic nature of what I was asking is just a short rant explaining exactly why Arin was wrong. It could even just be 30 seconds and end with "Fuckin A. ... Hanson." or something equally predictable. Regardless, I would be fully satisfied and laughing. But hey not everyone wants to make content, I understand
Arin saying that there are only four lines on the Bass clef really bugs me... especially since he used the space letters as rationale... there are the same number of lines in both clefs, five lines and four spaces
@@marclink0 yeah, he was probably thinking of tablature. I bet he's tried learning the guitar or bass guitar before. Tablature is taught for non-classical and non-jazz guitarists because it's faster to read initially.
"If you could just give us a little bit of emotion..." "You want me to move around more? How will that affect the recording?" "No, e-motion!" "Electronic motion?" "...Nevermind, it's fine as is."
Danny - The Treble clef is also called a 'G' clef, because the swirl at the bottom forms a crosshair on the line for 'G'. The Bass Clef is also called an 'F' clef, because the line between the two dots is F. It just so happens that putting a staff with a G clef above a staff with an F clef, leaves them separated by just middle C on a ledger line, which is really convenient for piano (the two staves together are called the Grand Staff). There are also 'C' clefs which form a bracket surrounding whichever line C is on, but they're weird and less frequently used.
The toymaker is called Ole Lukøje (he's called Sandman in english) as a reference to the european folk-story. Originally he sprinkles sand in the eyes of kids but the Hans Christian Andersen version squirts "sweet milk" in their eyes. I'll take no questions.
Hey Dan you were pretty close to what a Clef means in sheet music. The clef denotes what octaves the sheet music is meant to be read in. Music is built around middle C, written as C4. A treble clef denotes that the lines are meant to be read as the notes between C4 and C6, while the bass clef denotes that the lines are meant to be read as the notes between C2 and C4. There is also an alto clef where C4 is the middle note and the lines are meant to be read as the notes between C3 and C5. From my experience in playing string instruments, the clefs don’t really matter that much as for 99.999% of music you play within the same clef on your instrument, i.e. a violin solely plays with treble clef and a bass solely plays in bass clef. The violas are the only exception as the vast majority of the time they play in alto clef, but I have seen a few pieces where they play in treble. Pianos are also kind of an exception as they typically play in bass clef with the left hand and treble with the right hand. I think in “band” instruments there is more shifting between clefs for instruments, but I’ve never played one of these instruments so I am unsure.
always love when they play these games, and having another friend along for the ride this time just adds so much more fun to this series, can't wait for more!
EVERYTHING that they make Charlie say is hilarious! Something about the monotone of all his lines combined with the ridiculous things they make him say is AMAZING~ I lost it at 24:14, and now I really hope they finish this so they can riff all his dialogue!
13:00 "wait! There was a puzzle piece!" "Thats some observation right there!" No thats adhd. I'm really good at find it games too but only when it doesn't matter.
That guy wasn't a voice actor, he was a voice provider
Underrated comment.
so damn correct LOL!!!!

The contrast between Kyle McKarly (who voices the nut cracker and is a very well known voice actor) and then Charlie's voice provider, is just incredible
Legit thought voice provider said voice pounder
27:30 Arin's cut off "I hope he never shows up again" with the toybox wizard showing up hit me so hard I was choking on laughter.
Hehehe. This followed by the EXCELLENT delivery on the war line is fucking 💋
If anyone, and I mean anyone else played these kinds of games I'd be bored to tears, but somehow every time Donnie and Arlen play them I'm all in.

That line proved it was 100% delivered by a random 19 year old they found at the mall.
Arin: "Yes Queen, give us nothing."
it's extra funny because the nutcracker voice actor actually kinda tries
I NEED this line on a t-shirt.

Ethan's deadpan "Spencer, we're leaving" at 48:15 hit my funny bone.
Gave me Event Horizon vibes lol

I was saving this for Christmas morning, and boy was it an absolutely great way to start the day. It was hard to eat breakfast because of how much I was laughing - Both out of how all three guys were firing on all cylinders, and how unusually dark the story is for a Hidden Object-style game.
These games are my absolute favorite and this is the best X-mas gift this year! Thank you GG and Ethan!
I don't understand how an hour goes by so fast with these guys.
I love how with the difficulty mode selection it's Nina's, Charlie's, and Nutcracker's mode. Not Albert's mode. Nutcracker's mode. He got his name privileges revoked, he can only be known as the Nutcracker for the rest of his life.
Oh my god... Charlie's voice acting... Who let that slide? 😅
I love how Charlie explains the horrors of warfare as if it was an inconvenient line at walmart
27:51 can't breatheee
Arin playing games with Dan: 'So I put this on the hardest difficulty, and NO, DAN, you're not bringing the difficulty down!'
Arin playing games with guests: 'So I set the game to the easiest difficulty so that we can have a good time. See how things twinkle when you can interact with them?'
I get the feeling half the joy Arin gets out of regular GG is just making Danny have an existential crisis every episode now. XD Very special kind of friendship where you get to unashamedly troll each other in the semi-abusive manner, and both of you be cool with it.
i like the almost correct info about treble/bass lol. a staff always has five lines and four spaces, treble and bass are used to tell you where c4 (middle c on a piano) would basically be, which then tells you where the other notes would fall. arin also named FACE, which is spaces on a treble clef staff, not the lines on a bass clef staff lol
Having a Bachelors degree in music really hurt during this episode, but it don’t matter.😅
Them not being able to explain a base and treble clef isn't super important, but the hard work and dedication you put into your degree certainly does matter.
When Arin said in full confidence “a bass clef has 4 lines, F A C E!” I paused the video and went on a ten minute rant about why he is wrong.
@@Elstree make a video, I wanna hear the whole thing pls
@@Mex_Luigi Na, I'm not musically educated the way some others are, I don't have a degree or any schooling or anything, it would make me sound like an idiot.
@@Elstree Oh I hardly think so, but the basic nature of what I was asking is just a short rant explaining exactly why Arin was wrong. It could even just be 30 seconds and end with "Fuckin A. ... Hanson." or something equally predictable. Regardless, I would be fully satisfied and laughing. But hey not everyone wants to make content, I understand
Arin saying that there are only four lines on the Bass clef really bugs me... especially since he used the space letters as rationale... there are the same number of lines in both clefs, five lines and four spaces
I believe Arin got confused between the music staff (5 lines for notes) and the fretboard (1 line per string) for guitar/bass instruments
@@marclink0 yeah, he was probably thinking of tablature. I bet he's tried learning the guitar or bass guitar before. Tablature is taught for non-classical and non-jazz guitarists because it's faster to read initially.
@@GunkyDunkle Oh that could be it
"If you could just give us a little bit of emotion..."
"You want me to move around more? How will that affect the recording?"
"No, e-motion!"
"Electronic motion?"
"...Nevermind, it's fine as is."
I completely died when Dan quoted "Gettin' Jiggy Wit It" from the critically acclaimed album _Willennium_
Danny - The Treble clef is also called a 'G' clef, because the swirl at the bottom forms a crosshair on the line for 'G'. The Bass Clef is also called an 'F' clef, because the line between the two dots is F. It just so happens that putting a staff with a G clef above a staff with an F clef, leaves them separated by just middle C on a ledger line, which is really convenient for piano (the two staves together are called the Grand Staff). There are also 'C' clefs which form a bracket surrounding whichever line C is on, but they're weird and less frequently used.
Nerd. Lol its ok
"Less frequently used"- shout out to the viola players who have to read in alto clef every day!
*Is crying in cellist that can't read tenor clef 😭*
The toymaker is called Ole Lukøje (he's called Sandman in english) as a reference to the european folk-story. Originally he sprinkles sand in the eyes of kids but the Hans Christian Andersen version squirts "sweet milk" in their eyes. I'll take no questions.
Hey Dan you were pretty close to what a Clef means in sheet music. The clef denotes what octaves the sheet music is meant to be read in.
Music is built around middle C, written as C4. A treble clef denotes that the lines are meant to be read as the notes between C4 and C6, while the bass clef denotes that the lines are meant to be read as the notes between C2 and C4. There is also an alto clef where C4 is the middle note and the lines are meant to be read as the notes between C3 and C5.
From my experience in playing string instruments, the clefs don’t really matter that much as for 99.999% of music you play within the same clef on your instrument, i.e. a violin solely plays with treble clef and a bass solely plays in bass clef. The violas are the only exception as the vast majority of the time they play in alto clef, but I have seen a few pieces where they play in treble. Pianos are also kind of an exception as they typically play in bass clef with the left hand and treble with the right hand.
I think in “band” instruments there is more shifting between clefs for instruments, but I’ve never played one of these instruments so I am unsure.
47:02 my beloved
Charlie’s va definitely read the script for the first time when he recorded his lines
as ethan always says in every video, i cant wait to crank it to this gameplay
always love when they play these games, and having another friend along for the ride this time just adds so much more fun to this series, can't wait for more!
EVERYTHING that they make Charlie say is hilarious!
Something about the monotone of all his lines combined with the ridiculous things they make him say is AMAZING~
I lost it at 24:14, and now I really hope they finish this so they can riff all his dialogue!
Half the time Charlie was narrating I thought it was actually Ethan just making fun of the real VA's obvious line reading
The fact that this is watchable shows how amazing the grumps sre
Ethan had me in tears merry Christmas Y'all have a good one
i genuinely love it when you guys do hidden object christmas games
@27:55 brought me to tears
I love whenever you collab with Ethan!
Such a precious boy, must protect!
13:00 "wait! There was a puzzle piece!"
"Thats some observation right there!"
No thats adhd. I'm really good at find it games too but only when it doesn't matter.
as an adhd i also felt that "but only when it doesnt matter" part tbh 💀💀
