Arin Hanson / Egoraptor / Grump - "Hey I'm Grump!" of Game Grumps fame, hypocritical SJW doxer, shat himself recording a let's play

[LecherousGranolaBar]

This is made especially funny since when Jon was on they spent more time making actual jokes instead of just getting, "mad," at the game and talking about dicks way too much. I'm not gonna sit here and act like I can quote anything they said or did back in those days, though. Jon made the right call in all but the money making department. Even then, dude has to be doing well to be fine and only put out one video every time Pluto completes a trip around the sun.

I still fondly remember the Nickelodeon Guts debacle where Jon didnt tell Ego how to play and how fucking mad he got because of it. Alongside the huge debate it sparked in the community for some reason. I was team Jon that one. Figure the game out, retard. Its a SNES game for Children for fucks sake.

Also, Jon has to have some sort of main hustle because I can't imagine 1 video every blue moon pays the bills for him plus his wife and like the 10 people he employees.

How can you not remember Jon wanting to name the fans cumfaggots?

Remember when Ego yelled "NIGGER" during the Animal Crossing lp? good times.

Though that's disingenuous I guess since we all know he only cared about animating insofar as it got him attention and he dropped it because he found a lower effort avenue for that. But still.

I would say he most likely still cares about animation, I mean didnt he put out a cartoon demo recently? Or fairly recently? Its more likely he's just stuck doing the thing he has to do because him, his wife and all his orbiters rely on him to survive basically.

Which I mean, does sound like im making an excuse for him because if my job was to show up at a studio once a week, bang out a week of video game playing in 8 hours, I'd probably feel fresh as a fucking daisy to go take a crack at my hobbies for the rest of the week.

This is what pisses me off about youtubers, in general. I work 40 hours a week and have to fit my hobbies in the in-between and still find the time to improve. A good chunk, Arin definitely included, will act like sitting in front of a PC and mic for a few hours a week is just too tiring to get better at anything. It's like the ease of the job just sucks all of their drive away and they fall into the trap of complacency.

That is easily the thing I understand the least about people like Arin or DSP, this idea that playing video games is a chore or takes any kind of energy to do. Even worse, when you think about people like Inugami Korone who, despite often doing gaming streams that last upwards of 30 hours or more, is able to be athletic enough to do crazy dances and flips on stage or take up boxing as an exercise. It's definitely a time-consuming job, I can give them that, but to say it takes energy to do is just plain wrong. This isn't even taking into account that all Dan and Arin even do is sit down, do a game session, and then send that footage to the editor to do the rest of work. It just shows how little self-awareness or knowledge they have of what the average working man goes through outside their little bubble.

Probably because they're both massively incompetent, so by their standards playing video games really is hard.

 

[Friendly Primarina]

I checked out their channel for the first time in forever and they're playing Sonic Adventure 2 again. I'm preaching to choir but how are they this unfunny holy shit. Is anyone else watching this shit?

Like the end of the first part is literally just Dan repeating the names of the Wu-Tang Clan over and over. That's it. That's the entire "bit."

I don't even know how they still average 200K views per video after years of repeating the same shit.

 

[Local Wordmason]

This is just me guessing based on what I know, but I bet big old YouTube channels like Game Grumps operate on a "cash cow" model like games with microtransactions do. You put in minimal effort to continue to placate the core, long time fanbase that continues to contribute to most of the income. I'm sure they still do sponsors and merch runs, and the people that are left still eat that shit up.

Also Arin wished on a monkey's paw for fame so he is forever stuck as "Arin from Game Grumps" and ending Game Grumps would be akin to ending his career. Barring Arin getting into some kind of irredeemable controversy, I don't think he would ever willfully quit until he literally can't make money from it anymore.

That's when i turn off somewhat MATI, their "...dad?" joke in Guts & Glory for instance, enjoyed it for like one episode untill i realised they were just going to repeat the same thing over and over through the whole series.

Or Arins beatboxing, fuck that noise.

I'm not saying this is true in Arin's case, but it can be pretty stressful and exhausting to separate the hyper engaged character that you play from your actual day to day personality. If he had any semblance of self reflection he'd realize that forcing himself to be at 110% of his personality is what's causing him to lose his relevancy. Tbh hoping his personality splits like a retarded Perfect Blue.

Pandering to a parasocial audience of autistic teenage girls goes a long way.

 

[Sneedul8tr]

OneyPlays are the true inheritors of Jon Aryan Jafari’s era of game grumps, modern gg can crash and burn and I could give a fuck less. Btw drunk Jon, best Jon

 

[DenseDeerFather]

Emotionally stunted trannies, parasocial relationships and bots maybe.

It's still worth nothing that they have 5.4 million subs. 200k is still embarrassing but also way too high for what they offer.

 

[TV's Adam West]

The curse of arin as a cow is to get any news consistently is we have to watch Game Grumps, but nobody wants to watch that.
The modern Sisyphus.

I watch some parts of it I watch because I am a fool who has nothing better to do. There's fuck all worth posting about by my reckoning. If that changes I'll post something but its 99% just the usual crap of Arin being a dyed in the wool Cali retard.

 

[Dr. Ricearoni]

I think the milk has long dried up. Arin has pretty comfortably settled into mediocrity by now and is just a boring manchild coasting by on people who are emotionally attached to him for some reason.

 

[Scarlett Johansson]

Hes doing a Critical Role Suikoden thing. He is certainly not in any way the same caliber as that group. Plus he's a lazy fat fuck so he won't learn how the game works.

I'll argue that OneyPlays has always been superior simply because unlike Arin Chris is actually a good person with a large and diverse group of friends he's kind to, he has a great sense of humor, he has a shit ton of integrity and he only brings people onto his channel if they make him laugh because he doesn't care about clout or trying to max his view count and channel growth and he refuses to kiss asses or pander to whiny shit bags.

Chris has always been the man Arin pretended to be up to the adpocalypse when he pulled a 180 and threw all of his long time friends under the bus for being "problematic" because he could no longer make money off of them or by making edgy content anymore. Long live OneyPlays, may Arin (and their dog shit sociopathic fanbase and vile irredeemable narcissistic bitch of a wife) die in a house fire.

Lol, you are to be commended for going into the mines and knocking years off your life to bring us this drop of milk. A lot of the time when I hear someone describing newslop I don't care to watch, I can't even tell if they're joking. I remember listening to RLM talk about one of the new Star Wars movies (just had it playing in the background), and for a while I was convinced they were doing a bit just making up retarded shit while trying to keep a straight face; they were not.

This is just me guessing based on what I know, but I bet big old YouTube channels like Game Grumps operate on a "cash cow" model like games with microtransactions do.

The other half of this is that you cultivate your audience such that the core are types who will throw money at you. I doubt many of the paypigs of today have been around since the beginning with Jon.

I think what helps Oneyplays feel more fresh and better is it has a very strong revolving cast of people that Chris somehow has great chemistry with regardless. Everyone from Ding Dang and Julian, to the newgrounds guys to the randoms they brought on for blocks of episodes here and there.

Honestly the only really awkward episodes I can really recall were the ones with Kirbopher but those were tolerable even (albeit a waste because im roughly 90 percent sure he was there to do voice for their failed Yiik finale) Meanwhile I honestly feel like Arin and Dan have 0 chemistry with one another. Arin and Jon worked together so much better because Jon wasn't afraid to call Arin on his bullshit.

 

[Not 6 Foot]

Arin has pretty comfortably settled into mediocrity by now and is just a boring manchild coasting by on people who are emotionally attached to him for some reason.

All he has to do, to revive the respect I once had for him, is make more animations with jokes like, "damn right, nigga, mmm mmm."

That's it. That's all. He was at his peak when he realized that funny doesn't have a political leaning.
