'''Game Grumps''' is a webshow/[http://www.youtube.com/ YouTube] channel originally created and hosted by Jon Jafari ([[JonTron]]) and Arin Hanson ([[Awesome Series|Egoraptor]]), where they play games while doing live commentary, with the first episode airing on July 18, 2012. On June 25, 2013, after about a year's (or 342 day's) worth of episodes, Jon left the show, and was replaced by Daniel Avidan, also known as Danny Sexbang, the lead singer of the musical comedy duo [http://www.NinjaSexParty.com Ninja Sex Party].
 
Around the same time, a Game Grumps spin-off show entitled [[Steam Train]] was introduced. The show features Danny and animator Ross O'Donovani, who also joined the channel shortly after Jon's departure. The premise of [[Steam Train]] is similar to that of the original Game Grumps formula, with the only difference being that the games played are exclusively on the PC platform, often through the digital game distribution software [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam_(software) Steam], hence the show's title. Later on, Arin, Danny and other guests began appearing on the spin-off.
 
The channel consists of many series: ''Game Grumps'', ''Game Grumps VS'', ''[[The Animation|Game Grumps Animated]]'', ''[[Guest Star|Guest Grumps]]'', ''Steam Train'', ''Steam Rolled'', and ''[[Table Flip]]''; as well as occasional holiday-themed versions of their shows: ''Ghoul Grumps'' and ''Scream Train'' (Halloween), ''Jingle Grumps'' and ''Steam Sleigh'' (Christmas), ''Date Grumps'' and ''Single Train'' (Valentine's Day), ''Stout Train'' (St. Patrick's Day), and ''Cat Grumps'' and ''Meow Train'' (Aprils Fools day).
 
''[[Dream Daddy|Dream Daddy: A Dad Dating Simulator]]'' was funded and published in 2017 under their name.

Line 16 ⟶ 18:
* [[Homoerotic Subtext]]: Intentionally played for laughs between the two Grumps ''constantly'', though more so during Jon's tenure.
** And an unintentional case with The D Club, oh lord what a case.
* [[Hypercompetent Sidekick]]: Barry, who almost always fulfillsfulfils the Grumps' ludicrous editing requests with gusto.
** Unfortunately, Barry (he became a player guest) was replaced by Kevin, who [[They Just Didn't Care|is way less active in terms of video edits.]]
* [[Memetic Molester]]: [[Dennis the Menace|Mr. Wilson]]. Oh dear lord Mr. Wilson.
* [[Messianic Archetype]]: Danny turns [[Randy Savage|Macho Man Randy Savage]] into this in his speculation that [[It Makes Sense in Context|he fought off the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse to save mankind from the Rapture]].
* [[Orphaned Series]]: Quite a few of them, the most infamous being [[Sonic the Hedgehog (2006 video game)||Sonic 06]], though they decreased in number after Danny took over for Jon.
* [[Most Annoying Sound]]: Ross' "voice acting", his shrill high voice that's all over the place, most notably in [[Sakura Spirit]] and [[Undertale]]. The Grumps frequently groan at his attempts.
* [[Platform Hell]]: ''Every level'' the Grumps played on ''[[Super Mario Maker]]''. Ross' levels are notable for being ''so infuriating,'' other Let's Players tried their hands at the levels [[Rage Quit|(and regretted it)]].

* [[Seasonal Rot]]: Many instances (April-July 2015 for example), but the September 2015 videos are considered among the '''worst''' of their history.
* [[The Stoner]]: Danny has said he was one in his younger years, which lead to such bizarre incidents as wrestling an alligator while high and getting a truck stuck in a tunnel in the middle of winter and nearly freezing trying to direct people around it.
* [[Yoko Oh No]]: Suzy got a negative reception when she was introduced, purely for being Arin's girlfriend and not being as funny as the others. The fanbase eventually warmed on her (her getting comedy classes really helped).
