96,614 lovelies for 4 years!
Hey I'm Grump, and I'm not so Grump...and we're the Game Grumps!
Internet entertainment. Youtube. These two terms go hand in hand nowadays with all the Youtube celebrities bringing comedy and fun to anyone who will watch them. From comedy sketches to news, to reviews and opinions, and finally to video games.
Video games and "Let's Plays" of said games have become a hell of a market, and most notably among those to do so are the Game Grumps.
These lovable group of friends bring joy and laughs among many various shows and episodes, and of course there is a subreddit for them. The Lovelies (their name for their fans), are ever expanding and newcomers are always welcome. /r/GameGrumps, your one stop for all the Game Grump needs in life.
From the numerous AMA's the Grumps do (Ross, Danny, Barry, and even TWRP ), to the community coming together to give best wishes to a fellow fan, and even the memes. This subreddit is great for new and old fans alike, with people giving suggestions on videos that are a must watch so you too can become a lovely.
No great subreddit is great if not for their moderators. Now we move to talking with three of the subs mods, /u/xandan, /r/warnzz, and /r/HowDoesEatFood.
- Tell us a little bit about yourself and how you got into modding this sub!
/u/xandan Way back when the sub only had a few thousand subs, I traded my limited flair making knowledge for a seat at the mod table.
/u/warnzz I'm good at flairs and xandan said "hey do the flairs" and now I'm here.
/u/HowDoesEatFood I was a fan of Egoraptor for years back in the newgrounds days. Started modding after seeing a recruitment thread by /u/xandan and since I have experience managing communities and with web programming, figured I could help out.
- For those uninitiated, who are the Game Grumps?
/u/xandan IDK I think one of them makes music and the other one draws things. Also i think there used to be a talking bird or something on the show? Hard to say really.
/u/warnzz The Game Grumps are a group of YouTubers, from varying channels who hang and play some games.
/u/HowDoesEatFood Game Grumps are a group of friends, founded by Egoraptor and JonTron (who has since moved on), who play games and grump around about it.
- Who is your favorite out of all who appear(ed) in videos?
/u/xandan I'm a huge fan of Danny and Arin, though my favorite off-cast person they had on the show has to have been Grant Kirkhope, he brought so much energy to the show when he was on.
/u/warnzz Me in Reign of Kings. Or Jon, that guy was cool.
/u/HowDoesEatFood Game Grumps for me works best as a group or duo of people, so really I'd say the interactions between the two (or more) hosts makes it what it is. But if I have to single people out, either Grant Kirkhope as a guest star, or Jon.
- What is your favorite Jon era video/series? How about Dan era?
/u/xandan Jon era would have to be the episode of Sonic '06 where they broke the game way more than usual. I'm not sure the number but the usual quote from it is "WHAT IS THIS?!" Danny era is and will always be the Mickey Mouscapade episode.
/u/warnzz For my favorite Jontron series I'm going to be cliche and say Sonic 06, favorite Dan series would probably be Super Mario 3D World. It's always a blast when Danny is playing.
/u/HowDoesEatFood Jon Era: Any of the Mario Parties, or You Don't Know Jack. Dan Era: Any of the Katamari game series.
- If someone is just starting to watch GG, what videos do you recommend?
/u/xandan Definitely start from the top. Goof Troop, Megaman 7, Kirby. It's all great. Then work towards Sonic '06 and eventually into Danny Territory.
/u/warnzz I Guess some of the game grumps animated. It's shorter videos that always highlight their funny, with little to no downtime or boring parts. That, or Sonic.
/u/HowDoesEatFood I would say, check out the most popular videos on the channel. There are a couple really good first episodes to series on there, some good animated clips too. If nothing jumps out, just start from the beginning or jump straight into Sonic 06.
- Anything else you would like to say?
/u/HowDoesEatFood They have a lot of nice one off and more inane games that they have played too. Typing of the Dead is just a silly game in general, Chulip and Stretch Panic are off the wall randomly weird, Mickey Mousecapade is a hilarious stand alone 11 minutes of fun. Since I didn't really mention much Steam Train, they have played a couple Kings Quest games, if you just want a nice chill experience.
That's all she wrote folks! Feel free to check out the stuff that isn't Game Grumps, but they work on it. Like Danny's band, Ninja Sex Party, or Danny and Arin's band, Starbomb, and finally TWRP, an amazing 80s-inspired synth-rock band that occasionally collabs with Ninja Sex Party and Starbomb.
I hope to see more lovelies out there! PreviousHistory out.
As always, Have A Nice Day.
