I can remember when everyone hated dan and every comment was bring jon back but there was something about the chemistry between dan and arin that made me love dan from the start
There's this episode where Jon said "Fuck Utah...and that was the day we lost all of our fans from Utah" and I laughed so hard cause I'm from Utah but I've never been able to find that episode since
I remember back when people got so paranoid about Arin and Jon's friendship and made up all these overblown theories and conspiracies. Then after that FireRed moment they started mentioning his name occasionally and I was so happy all the commenters finally shut up, lol.
Pretty sure what happened is jon wanted to quit to do his videos and that left Arin scrambling to make make the company work, this happens with a lot of start ups
So did Arin have a falling out with Garfield? I miss Garfield... he was the best Not So Grump... Then Jon had to replace him because he moved to Canada.
Nah dude you got it wrong. Garfield was the first grump, and jon was the first not so grump. Jon got upset because Garfield would never film on mondays, so Jon replaced him with Arin.
Jon was great on the show, he really was. He is an incredible performer and I respect him so much. However, I do think he made the right choice leaving. I think his solo channel more suits him and his humour than GG, and Danny fits in to the show perfectly. I can't choose a favourite much because I know how odd it is to have people picking favourites between you and your friend, but also because they're both similar yet so different in their humour and personality. They're both wonderful.
Yeah it's weird how much self loathing Jon's got (although maybe not truly self loathing cause he's 2nd generation and all) since he absolutely hates immigrants. He thinks it's neo-colonialism or whatever stormfront bullshit he's drinking
You should do a compilation of Danny's "Let's play the feud!" Great video as always man! The editing throughout these videos, along with the thumbnails, are great.
Watched from the start of the GG channel. I really don't think the hate and confusion with Jon leaving would have been so bad if they had just handled it better. There was no warning and they didn't even record his going away clip in the same room. Then they barely mentioned him again until later. This is the internet where everyone thinks they are an expert and know wtf is going on. Of course the situation got out of hand with such piss poor context to the situation.
That's all entirely jons fault, not Arins. There was nothing they could really do about it because it was 100% his decision to stay in his relationship and run back home to new york on a whim and not give any clear instructions on what Arin could do or say regarding it all. Since he was half of the company Arin had his hands tied until jon was off the paperwork and game grumps became 100% Arins.
The thing that always bugged me is that despite the last video of jontron from GG they still remain evasive on why they had a falling out. Dans awesome now, but it was just so jarring that in a couple days a channel would forever change. And at least they are still friends so im happy with that.
wow! it's really cool of you to put this together, have you been compiling these clips since they first mentioned JonTron or did you just decided on a whim to go through the backlog and search for them? edit: Woah! you have so many compilations!!!
i miss jon's energy and shit so bad. i like danny but damn, jon has a lot of amazing moments under his belt. he's the only one who can be loud without being obnoxious
I got the impression that Jon wasn't mentioned because of an embargo, and then after Pokemon Fire Red passed Sonic 06 the floodgates opened. Have they ever confirmed that was the case? That they wanted a series to pass Sonic 06 before they talked about him?
Danny mentions Jon first most of the time, and when Arin talks about Jon, he seems bummed out, like he's talking slower and quieter. From what I understand, everyone's cool with everyone, but Arin's demeanor on the topic tells a different story.
It probably just brings back bittersweet memories for him. Arin has said that even though he harbored no ill feelings toward Jon for leaving Game Grumps, he did kinda beat himself up for it at first, thinking maybe it was because he'd been a poor friend and cohost. Arin has talked frankly in interviews about his struggles with self-esteem, so it makes sense that that'd be his instinctive reaction to hearing Jon say he wants to move on from this project they collaborated on. And also, it was his friend moving away. Anyone would get bummed out in that situation, even thinking about it years later. 😕
I have absolutely nothing against Jon, but to me it seems like his sense of humor is too similar to Arin’s. Danny brings a sort of more relatable and chill humor that balances out Arin’s explosive spontaneity and randomness. Neither is necessarily better or worse, but I feel the dynamic between the two is more balanced with Dan.
One thing is definitely clear, Dan absolutely fits the "not so grump" department perfectly. I loved Jon but I never understood from the very beginning of the show why he introduced himself that way in the intro. The guy's whole internet identity is a grump, maybe even more so than Arin. This ties in well with the balance you talk of because I feel like this dynamic is what the show was originally going for
Jon and Arin were essentially two chaotic figures in the same area at the same time, leading to absolute mayhem and hilarious hijinks Danny and Arin.....basically one laid-back and (occasionally) level-headed figure of order balancing out the chaos that is Arin Hanson, also leading to absolute mayhem and hilarious hijinks
The biggest thing that stands out to me in this is actually how little Dan and Arin know about birds XD Yes, Dan. Birds do like to be petted. They especially like if you gently brush the feathers on their head in the opposite direction they grow in. Also birds get very attached to people and get upset if they leave, but they recognize when someone's a stranger and are wary around them. They have to warm up to you.
Arin: I wouldn't fuck around with birds personally unless it was a falcon cause they can take it... Falco: Personally I prefer (insert final quote to fit in)
I got into the Grumps after Jon left, so Danny is all I really know for "Not So Grump". After going back and listening to some of the old Jon episodes........ I'm glad I got into the Grumps when I did...
Two Minutes Turkish I love Jon but him and Arin together feels like a loud random mess... Dan does this thing where he contrasts from Arin, making the episodes more unique
