I really wish the modding community would be interested in making the Grumps their own holiday puzzle game. Just like they did with kirbys dream course.
Not gonna lie, I love this genre of game, the Hidden Object ones. Even though they're inevitably pretty easy aside from some frustrating small puzzles, it's satisfying to get them done- and ALWAYS hilarious to hear the terrible voice acting. There's an actually good one I recommend called 'Brink of Consciousness: Dorian Gray Syndrome.' While it suffers from a lot of the same defects as many of these games, it's a halfway decent murder plot game that I recommend, maybe for Ghoul Grumps. :)
I literally had the same thought when the finished the first Christmas one! Oscar stands out from all the Hidden Objects villians, and would love to see them react to him :D
I also like hidden object games and 'Brink of Consciousness: Dorian Gray Syndrome' is a fantastic recommendation. It has a pretty decent story and is one of my personal favorites! I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys these kinds of games. ^^
Christmas Stories: Hans Christian Andersen's Tin Soldier Collector's Edition is the 161st game the Grumps have beaten, and the second longest game title after Chop Chop Fruit salad Mystery Jam DokiDoki Dating Sim THingy. Merry Christmas! (And yes, even tho it's technically a Guest Grumps I'm counting it because unlike other Guest Grumps, the Guest did not play the game by using the controller or mouse.)
Every time Dan calls Arin something endearing like "big cat" or "clever girl" I feel I'm present for something I'm not supposed to. You go girl, tho. Love it.
I love the idea of Charlie just dropping a series of non-sequiturs in his monotone-ass voice. "Poor Nina. I hope she's okay. I like bears. Those trolls are sure in for it. I had a neighbor named Bill once. He smelled weird. Time for a goblin showdown. Register now at your local supermarket for the rewards card."
I'm sorry, did they just completely ignore Charlie's fucked up tale of betrayal by his neighbor for money and just made the final confrontation a 5 second long cutscene?
@@Sasha-up9er I think there is an explanation in the moment that they recast him in a new mold, basically "fixing" him and when he got brought back he was whole. What i'm baffled is that Charlie's neighbor fought with him in war, had his life saved by Charlie when he fell on freezing water, Charlie broke them both out of a prison camp and he still shot Charlie, left him for dead and got the money. Charlie's neighbor just kinda had absolutely no comeuppance, just a bag full of money
@@tieflingcorpse9817 are we considering this game for any kind of minority representation at all? not in the "this is a ha ha bad funny" way but like. I had absolutely zero faith in this game and was not giving them credit for making Charlie a disabled character when his story started with "hello fiancée and first love. I'm sure I'm literally worthless and unlovable now that my leg was amputated. please feel free to not feel guilty when you inevitably abandon me for someone able bodied" I just. My inability to take this game seriously enough to give it any props aside, Charlie was awful rep from day one. (Yes I know time period realism is the excuse but WHAT THE HELL)
I'm not sure what he's talking about because I actually haven't noticed "ehs" at all. Maybe I'm used to hearing Arin say it or something and I don't notice anything because it sounds completely normal to me?
Is anyone else just genuinely entertained by Ethan’s constant laughing fits at the Grumps’ jokes in this series? Just a bunch of friends having fun during Christmas, they’re so wholesome. Happy holidays to everyone!!
Watching Arin have the solution to the first gear puzzle three separate times in only a few moves and them making it harder for himself is always so painful.
@@fuzzyotterpaws4395 it took a couple of minutes for me to understand, but he basically had to make an unbroken line of the snowflake shaped gears from the start to finish while avoiding the lumpy ones that couldn’t reach.
So is nobody gonna talk about how Charlie turned back into a person with two legs?? Did being remade as a tin soldier give him a new damn human leg? I shouldn’t question this game
HARD relate to Arin on picking up words and sayings when listening to/speaking with people with specific speaking patterns for a long time. I mimic a lot too
After a little bit of research, The Nutcracker (Albert) was played by an experienced voice actor, Kyle McCarley, who has had roles in anime dubs and games, most notably Mob from Mob Psycho, Clement from Pokemon, Iruka from Naruto (and Simon from Infinity Train :D). There are many roles stretching back as far as 2000. Charlie, on the other hand, was played by Travis Cohen who, as far as I can tell, has only had 4 other noted roles, none of which I've ever heard of before, and doubt the common populace would be able to place. Though I must say, the performance was still enjoyable because it was so out of place. XD
Arin's obsession with Captain Hook ultimately got him hooked on numerous pirates when he found out that Captain Hook was thirty-five and apparently quite the looker.
I showed my brother your most recent power hour video (Top Christmas Toys) and after only a few minutes he turns to me and goes "are they gay?" and I couldn't stop laughing
You got to admire their optimism that they put Wallpapers in the game like "people are gonna love this soooo much that they'll want their desktop background to be our game!"
Today on "Arin makes puzzles 5 times harder than they're designed to be by starting paying attention halfway through and then having to make sense of the clusterfuck he's created" Merry Christmas
I'd not heard of CrankGamePlays until he was a guest here, but for fucks sake he works so well with Arin and Dan it's like he's a normal cast member. I'll have to check out his stuff, so thanks for getting him as a guest.
i knew he existed and have seen some funny clips here and there (mostly from unus annus, and he was on power hour) but never came across his content naturally. after this i might have to check him out lol
For anyone wondering, a Bas Relief (pronounced bah relief) is a 3D sculpture on a flat plane. For example, the sculpted figures at the top of the Parthenon replica in nashville is a bas relief. Hope this helps!
Travis Cohen (The Tin Soldier) was also appeared as an alien soldier in Star Trek: Enterprise 'The Communicator' which he received no credit for, but it's possible it's 2 different guys with the same name? But his voice123 profile describes him as "Funny, Cheesy, Corporate or extreme, Annunciating, Pronouncing, Explainers or Casual' ~ Tin Soldier was definitely Casual!
The whole “passing out on your desk after doing a single iota of work” thing is representative of the converging points of being an author and being gay. Wonderful subtle storytelling there.
I really want to see Grumps play Stray Souls by this company, it's such a fun game. My friend Miles had me play it on his laptop and it was a fun ride.
41:00 can we talk about how it says "Voiceover Artists (Alphabetically)" and then shows a list that's not in alphabetical order? Not by the VAs' first or last names, nor by the characters' names.
Arin doing the first snowflake puzzle literally being two steps away from finishing, then someone makes a joke, so he starts commenting and totally gets away from the obvious answer. Ahhhhhh..... classic Grumps. Love it.
31:29 “Oh man, this Florida weather” Yeah, ain’t that the truth. Snuggled up right now in a bundle of blankets because it’s 35 degrees, and in a few days it’ll be back to the 70s/80s🙃
...Wasn't Charlie like... missing a limb or something at the start? Yeah, a leg. Are you telling me he fucking regrew his leg when .... what, we reforged him from tin? That is so frickin' bananas and kind of messed up. Wow.
I am so happy you guys keep coming back to these weird seek and find games for Jingle Grumps - the strange way the player has to figure out this sort of mess always makes for some enjoyable grumps time.
Man Arin's chess skills are really coming into play this episode, in the sense that the answer is right fuckin' in front of him and yet he'll move the pieces in the opposite direction as he climaxes on his confusion and frustration, lmao
I love these games. I wouldn't mind one of these mid-year like a Christmas in July kind of thing. They're always so so much fun! Happy holidays, Grumps!
Arin it's okay the info button doesn't bite I promise it won't hurt you. Although it's amazing how he manages to stumble his way into the solution without hitting the info button once. Arin if you think that's bad a certain puzzle from the 2nd floor in Sherlock Holmes Hound of the Baskervilles would like a word with you
I really wish the modding community would be interested in making the Grumps their own holiday puzzle game. Just like they did with kirbys dream course.
That’s an amazing idea
I'm no modder but I would deadass program one such a game if I knew how to draw
No need to draw either, just use stills and objects from their videos. Crop a emotion, stretch a moment, hide a cheesman. could be fun.
@@thedeadheadpunk You know what, you're right. Maybe I'll try this during the holidays hahahaha
@@darkunykorn404 if this turns into a project, I’ll 100% report for duty
Calling Arin a "clever girl" is a next level joke, because EgoRaptor...
Mind=blown.
Wishful thinking that they are self-aware enough to appreciate that subtlety and intentionally have made that joke lol
what
Thank you Travis Cohen for putting exactly as much effort into your voice acting as this game deserves

Or one of the Big Fish games, like the first Ravenhurst Manor
One I remember really liking is one starring a clockwork bird and a female lead called Evangeline Glass.

You go girl, tho. Love it.
The amount of times that Ethan said the right thing to do followed by Arin ignoring him and not doing it at all is pretty impressive.
I love the idea of Charlie just dropping a series of non-sequiturs in his monotone-ass voice.
"Poor Nina. I hope she's okay. I like bears. Those trolls are sure in for it. I had a neighbor named Bill once. He smelled weird. Time for a goblin showdown. Register now at your local supermarket for the rewards card."
It will save you 10% on FUCKING GODDAMN BULLSHIT, FUCK!
I need Dan saying "Computer" in the old woman's voice as a notification noise for my phone
“I call him that so often it doesn’t even register as a weird thing to say” I love it every time and also I’m glad we have Ethan as a witness 23:24
I'm sorry, did they just completely ignore Charlie's fucked up tale of betrayal by his neighbor for money and just made the final confrontation a 5 second long cutscene?
I'm pretty sure they also magic'ed his leg back with no mention of it
@@Sasha-up9er I think there is an explanation in the moment that they recast him in a new mold, basically "fixing" him and when he got brought back he was whole.

@@baydiac thats very true
I am so glad that Ethan FINALLY addressed Arins new "eh" habit
I'm not sure what he's talking about because I actually haven't noticed "ehs" at all. Maybe I'm used to hearing Arin say it or something and I don't notice anything because it sounds completely normal to me?
Agreed.
Its always sounds awkwardly forced and takes me out of whatever Arin is talking about.
I never noticed, but I’m also Canadian so 🤷♂️
i think its hysterical that hes adopted canadian speech mannerisms from gaming with canadians because i do the exact.same.thing.
@@suemccashland So, like Arin, you like to forget where you're from too?
The gear puzzle pulling up into another gear puzzle was hilarious.
Is anyone else just genuinely entertained by Ethan’s constant laughing fits at the Grumps’ jokes in this series? Just a bunch of friends having fun during Christmas, they’re so wholesome. Happy holidays to everyone!!
Watching Arin have the solution to the first gear puzzle three separate times in only a few moves and them making it harder for himself is always so painful.
I didn't understand what was happening at all so I'm just surprised he got it at all
@@fuzzyotterpaws4395 it took a couple of minutes for me to understand, but he basically had to make an unbroken line of the snowflake shaped gears from the start to finish while avoiding the lumpy ones that couldn’t reach.
@Jack Wrath ummm...what?
So is nobody gonna talk about how Charlie turned back into a person with two legs?? Did being remade as a tin soldier give him a new damn human leg?
I shouldn’t question this game
I was thinking the SAME thing! Maybe he has a prosthetic but it is hidden by the pants and covered by a boot???

No pun intended
and then they repeatedly hooked up
@@suemccashland cause he's a hooker
A finale to a Game Grumps playthrough on Christmas?
What a wonderful gift from my favorite bois !
Man, that battle with the baron was so grand and epic. It's on par with the final battle with Ganon in Zelda's Adventure.
I showed my brother your most recent power hour video (Top Christmas Toys) and after only a few minutes he turns to me and goes "are they gay?" and I couldn't stop laughing
The rumor come out
@@fun2buildingdoes bruno mars is gay
@@fun2buildingAre Game Grumps is Gay?
You got to admire their optimism that they put Wallpapers in the game like "people are gonna love this soooo much that they'll want their desktop background to be our game!"
Arin is the ultimate tease of puzzles. Just move it the right way!!! Aaaahhh!!!!
Also. Merry Christmas
Today on "Arin makes puzzles 5 times harder than they're designed to be by starting paying attention halfway through and then having to make sense of the clusterfuck he's created"
Merry Christmas
It’s like it’s Arin’s special power to play every game like he’s never seen a video game before.
@@Navybird and then somehow solving it anyway
I'd not heard of CrankGamePlays until he was a guest here, but for fucks sake he works so well with Arin and Dan it's like he's a normal cast member. I'll have to check out his stuff, so thanks for getting him as a guest.
he works with markiplier frequently, and is a great video director in his own right. definetly worth checking out for more than just the games/lolz

24:56 as a pet owner of 2 rats I can confirm this is EXACTLY what they sound like.
37:07 Charlie just standing there in shock with his arms out and mouth agape is killing me
I am sobbing over the "noodles or sashimi... i'm losing my mind"
14:46
"I had a couple of umbrellas...
...and the pina coladas underneath them 🥴🤣🤣
Merry Jinglegrumps boys, merry Christmas everybody
Merry Christmas, Grumps!
Charlie's face as he looked back into the camera is now forever scarred into my brain
I want to know more about the Baron's minions. Like one of them is just a little girl.
She may look that way, but she's actually 900 years old!
@@Mortimer107I can't tell if you are joking or not.
Merry Christmas and all the best for 2023!
Ethan: Arin why does Dan call you clever girl??
Arin: why don't we stop talking for a bit
Ethan is such an awesome guest grump. Thanks for a great Christmas adventure!
Honestly, Dan being in A Mood makes for some of my favorite episodes

Thank you for releasing these all back to back. Made for a happy Christmas
The whole “passing out on your desk after doing a single iota of work” thing is representative of the converging points of being an author and being gay. Wonderful subtle storytelling there.
26:10 - Once again, Danny says, "I know I've said this on Grumps before," and he absolutely hasn't. 😂
Watching these is going to be a new Holiday tradition for me. These made my Christmas even better, Happy Holidays Grumps!
It's nice to see them finish one of these for once. I get the feeling that all of them have batshit crazy rushed endings like this, it's comedy gold.
The finished the scarlet child one & the grim legends main story, they didn’t finish the bonus story on that one
Scarlet mystery:cursed child lol my bad
Dan's getting so much mileage out of the "computer!" bit
What is it from?
@@MsZenabel I came here looking for that too
@@mavis_draqit’s like on the tip of my brain, I KNOW I know what it’s from but I just can’t remember
"Don't try to stop me this time, Smee, try to stop me."
I really want to see Grumps play Stray Souls by this company, it's such a fun game. My friend Miles had me play it on his laptop and it was a fun ride.
SHOUT OUT TO MILES FOR HAVING GOOD TASTE IN GAMES AND GOOD FRIENDSHIPS
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Do you mean the horror game Stray Souls?
love that the second hidden object game they've finished (that I'm aware of) is also the sequel to the first hidden object game they finished
41:00 can we talk about how it says "Voiceover Artists (Alphabetically)" and then shows a list that's not in alphabetical order?
Not by the VAs' first or last names, nor by the characters' names.
Arin doing the first snowflake puzzle literally being two steps away from finishing, then someone makes a joke, so he starts commenting and totally gets away from the obvious answer. Ahhhhhh..... classic Grumps. Love it.
Fun fact: Tim Curry did voice Captain Hook in the cartoon "Fox's Peter Pan and the Pirates." And he did a great job, too!
The fact that the VA of the nutcracker that knew how to emote went on to voice NARANCIA in Vento Aureo is so fucking funny
My favorite thing about the ending is that Charlie got his leg back from being turned into a toy. So I guess it was all a net positive in the end
Ethan gave me whiplash when he mentioned Geocaching. I don’t think I’ve heard any content creator ever talk about it! 27:34 It’s so much fun!
@12:21 Arin sounded like my 78 Chevy trying to start in the cold weather
Arin : I’m halfway there
Me : *YOU’RE LIVIN ON A PRAYER*
ethan works so well as a guest, he laughs like ryan supermega, and he has a handsome editor that should be paid more
Arin had the gear puzzle nearly solved and then he just suddenly backtracked to the beginning and started shifting everything around lol.
At one point, I called to my wife: "Bethany! Arin's doing the puzzle wrong!!"
I swear i said "compuuterr" at the same time as Dan in the min 32:28 and it felt good.. I just felt the need it to share
Merry christmas to yall
31:29 “Oh man, this Florida weather” Yeah, ain’t that the truth. Snuggled up right now in a bundle of blankets because it’s 35 degrees, and in a few days it’ll be back to the 70s/80s🙃
man, ethan is really good at this. i can't wait for the next hidden object game
Ethan works so well with those two. He needs to come over to the studio more often
14:42 "Do you know how to defeat the baron?"
"Dude, but I need your help!"
I just figured out this is a sequel to the nutcracker seek n find from three years ago, so some of the story makes sense...some of it...
So did Charlie just like... grow his leg back?
The nutcracker's real name is Albert... and he's a prince... and NO ONE made a Prince Albert joke??!! Majorly missed opportunity!
There's a lot of GG Animated potential in this series.
...Wasn't Charlie like... missing a limb or something at the start? Yeah, a leg.
Are you telling me he fucking regrew his leg when .... what, we reforged him from tin? That is so frickin' bananas and kind of messed up. Wow.
I love the credit to Sbassbear at the end, fantastic work dude(s)!
Merry Christmas grumps.
Merry Grumpmas and Grumpanukah!
Ah, yes, the question I ask myself every morning:
Are you the shark, the parrot, or the cloud?
Gender
Yes
Ethan's laugh, man 🤣 that shit is infectious
with a Jim Carrey bit, I would have expected "somebodyyy stop smee"
I am so happy you guys keep coming back to these weird seek and find games for Jingle Grumps - the strange way the player has to figure out this sort of mess always makes for some enjoyable grumps time.
At 23:19 and Ethans pure joy and realizing what Dan just said to Arin.
Loved having Ethan play one of these games with you two ❤😂 You’re all so funny together and seem like you’re having a lot of fun. Merry Christmas!
i love when they play these and especially when they complete them
Travis Cohen (voice of Charlie) has three credits on IMBD, and this isn't listed even on there. Every other result is him begging for VA work
Merry Christmas everyone! And Happy Hanukkah! And Joyous Kwanzaa! And Happy Festivus! And Winter Solstice! And Happy New Year!
God I fuckin love these search and find videos. What a wonderful Christmas gift.
Okay I have the same exact reason for obsession of pirates as Arin and I finally feel seen.
Ethan should totally play these types of games on his channel too. He's actually pretty fuckin good at them
Man Arin's chess skills are really coming into play this episode, in the sense that the answer is right fuckin' in front of him and yet he'll move the pieces in the opposite direction as he climaxes on his confusion and frustration, lmao
Hopefully, they will get to Enchanted Express next Christmas. Although, hopefully not, a lot of puzzles there are tough as dicks
Genuinely hope that this leads to a Mystery Case Files: Ravenhearst series playthrough, Return is SO good for this channel
Merry Christmas fellow lovelies!
merry christmas everyone!
I love these games. I wouldn't mind one of these mid-year like a Christmas in July kind of thing. They're always so so much fun! Happy holidays, Grumps!
34:09 "I need some light in here" Can somebody tell me what's wrong with that nice looking lantern right in your face?
The boys casually failing to notice they're dealing with a budding Jimmy Hall @ 34:42
What does this mean?
Who's that?
Straight up didn’t realize there was even a fight.
I hope there’s a team of ov’s and ev’s furiously working on next year’s seek and find. I love this tradition.
Merry Christmas to the Game Grumps crew!
loved every second of this, happy holidays!❤
I needed this today, happy holidays everyone
Already got my tickets for Manchester in May! Merry Christmas, Grump Team!
