I absolutely love and respect these boys, but Game Grumps have produced some of the smartest and dumbest conversations two human beings can have with each other, and i’m so glad i’m here to experience all of them
@@sebastianolsen4856As a native English speaker, your English seems good to me. The problem the other person had with your statement comes from the fact that the word "but" when used in that context implies the following statement will have a negative connotation, as in "I love 'x' thing but I don't like 'y' thing about them". All you really need to do to fix your statement grammatically is to remove the "but" and change the comma after "boys" into a period due to changing the statement from a dependent clause followed by an independent clause into two independent clauses. Don't ever let complaints from others about mistakes like that get you down. I've seen native speakers and writers with a much worse grasp on the English language than you.
@@sebastianolsen4856 Also I just realized, and I'm sorry if this comes across as pedantic and annoying, since "Game Grumps" refers to either Arin and Dan (and in one case within the video, Kevin) or the company as a whole you need to either put the word "the" before "Game Grumps" or change "have" to "has". This is because "Game Grumps" is a group, so "Game Grumps have produced 'x' types of conversation" doesn't flow well grammatically. "Game Grumps has produced some of the 'x' types of conversation" works well when referring to the company as a whole, whereas "The Game Grumps have produced some of the 'x' types of conversations" works when referring to the members of said company. I hope that makes sense the way I explained it. Also, just as the letter "I" must always be capitalized when used on its own, it must also be capitalized when used as part of a contraction. This is because contractions are just shortened combinations of existing words. "I'm" equals "I am" and "I've" equals "I have", just to name a few examples. Again, I'm sorry if this comes across as nitpicky, and small things like that don't matter in informal contexts like this one. The real important thing is that you get enough wording correct to be understood, which you seem to have a grasp on anyway.
Arin really opened my eyes about the “I didn’t want to see her laying there” at a funeral. It broke my heart. I lost my grandmother 3 years ago and my father last year. Had i had the thought to not see their bodies at the viewing, I would’ve handled their deaths so much better. Arin, though he is a funnyman, has taught me something so profound I fail to put it into words. Even what I said here didn’t put the feeling properly.
Some part of me wishes I had gotten to see my pop-pop, who recently passed away, but I think it's probably for the best. I got to say goodbye, that's something I've never gotten before, any time I've lost someone.
@@limarien6405if you think about it, what you really want is to have seen him _alive_ one last time so you could have closure and tell him how much you love him. In reality, you didn’t want to see his corpse. You don’t want your final, most permanent image of him to be a dead body. You wanted to see _him_ again, not his body
I've known people who made your choice, and while idk if they regret it today, I know that I was there to see it purposed as a "yes or no, because it could provide closure and blah blah" question, but for those reasons, I think it's one of those things where you can only be firm with your decision after the fact, because it gave you things that might be more distressing, but more meaningful. Imo, I think it was the better outcome, because that means you got to know this person for the entirety that you could, for better or worse, but it also gets to be your decision.
my grandpa didn't get a funeral, but he was in hospice and we knew he was going soon. he was comatose the whole time, and after hearing what he looked like and that he wasn't responding, i decided not to go see him. when my best friends father died, he was pretty far into his cancer battle the last time i saw him. bruised, bald, swollen, and tired. and despite being around that man for years at the peak of his health, i can't imagine anymore what he looked like before that. whereas my last memory with my grandpa was him meeting my (now ex) girlfriend, and absolutely loving her despite his upbringing. i want to keep that memory of him, i didn't want to lose it.
I love how Dan told the lovelies that despite his hollywood movie moment, its not the right or professional thing to do and you should be getting professional help through your struggles. Just such a responsible and respectable thing to do on his end.
I totally love the deep shit. It’s the best to put on and chill out to. Also the “ what could be better than- GOD DAMN IT! FUUUCK!” fucking got me. So good.
55:08 I really resonate with what Dan is saying here. My mom passed away 14 years ago and I can’t help but think about all the things she missed. Obviously she missed watching me grow up, graduate, and will miss me getting married but she also never got to own an iphone, see the pandemic, listen to any new music
You can trust me here i know its pandentic but.. If she was proud of you during her lifetime you can believe sure as hell That she would be more than proud of the man you've became And will become and she will love you as much as the first day she layed her Eyes on you A mothers Love is eternal So stay strong mate
god that first conversation resonated with me in a way i wasn’t anticipating. i turn 30 this year and i’m disabled, but i’ve been working on music since i was 11 probably? and people have told me time and again “oh you have a gift, you need to use it, don’t let it slip away” but i always think it’s too late. but he’s fuckin right. i’m just getting started. i have all the time in the world. ESPECIALLY now that i’m not pretending that i can get by in the typical work force. it’s my time to shine baby! ✨ i’m ready to put the work in. i’m fuckin ready
I totally agree with the dislike of open casket funerals I’d hate the idea of my corpse being the final, lasting memory someone has of me. So many people that have been to them say that seeing the body almost ruins the memory of the person for them because it’s burned into their memory, like they cannot think of the person in any way other than not there… Like they struggle to remember them alive and happy because the sight of the open casket blocks it out.
I'll let the people who know me decide if they want to see me like that or not. If it something that at least 1 person needs to see to move on then I should let them. I don't want being dead the way someone remembers me but if it's what they need to move on and they still remember me for the other times I can accept it.
1:09:20 That is similar to how I found out about ADHD. I saw loads of memes and a couple friends talk about symptoms, so I went to a psychiatrist and got diagnosed. I got my meds and after a week I cried....I was suddenly so productive, so useful, and for my whole life I'd hated myself for my executive dysfunction. After I got those meds, that self-hatred turned to bitterness towards my father, one of those "Mental illness isn't real" kinds of people. It can be very relieving to the point of tears to know it's not your fault, even though it's your responsibility.
Definitely. That sense of "I'm not crazy, I just have this thing". I have ADHD and terrible executive dysfunction myself, but no budget for meds, currently, and I fear the common side effect of appetite loss because I'm very small and naturally eat so little that I'm concerned I could undereat into health issues. Talk about a rock and a hard place.
@@g1sunstreaker584I was afraid I'd gain weight on antidepressants but nothing really changed in that aspect. When you get the chance, try it and after a couple of months you'll see if you have that side effect. And if you do, you just can ask to change your meds
These two mean the world to me. I love how, despite the silliness, they can also drop into serious and meaningful conversations when they feel the need to.
I feel like this is absolutely the compilation I needed. I’ve been in a bad spot lately so, hearing the dudes I totally idolize just, be serious and not poop fart joke silly, is just. Nice.
I love it when game grumps have these super intelligent conversations on the show that completely change my view on existence in a positive life effecting way I would not be the person I like being without these kinds moments moments that really speak to me
I love how, when Arin isn't there, Dan takes over the show and is all like "see, these people created something that's important to me" etc etc and it's like OMG ❤️
I would love to see them play some touching and emotional game like "That Dragon Cancer" or something and just let them go super deep and sentimental. I know these men have some amazing takes and I know countless people would love to hear what they have to say.
Seems weirdly fitting that I find this two months after my mom died. I know that these clips are several years old now but it was all very insightful and lines up with a lot of how I think and feel. Stuff like this has really been helping me keep everything together in what has been by far the worst time of my life.
fun fact, January is a slow month in retail as well, no matter the product being sold. in that context, the dropping revenue is the result of customers having just done a lot of buying around the winter holidays and wanting to slow down with spending now that they’re over.
I wonder, How does one learn to be more confrontational? How did Arin learn. I thought he was always like that. hm. Im made of out paper and would like to learn.
id reccommend smaller things, ykno ? like just debating w friends, and trying to get more confident in being assertive and confident in what youre saying :)
@@bucketheadmud Thank you. Good to know I am on the right path :) I love debating but my confidence lacks when talking to unknown people. Specialy when it comes to conflicts. I guess it takes practice.
Oh, for sure. Especially if you came from a place where any type of differing opinion resulted in bad news. I'm definitely not the greatest at being assertive, but practicing even just saying no in your every day routine helps
Anyone else tearing up watching this??? I’ve been wanting to be a kaigai idol(an idol outside of japan) and a cosplayer. But I feel like bc I’m turning 25 I can’t anymore. But this has made me feel so inspired and motivated.
The average person lives to 80, if you’re 40 you’ve only gone through half of your life. Even if you’re weaker you can still do a lot of things. And if you’re lucky, you could live to 100 or more, which is 20+ more years
Hearing dan talk about ageing makes me think he needs to listen to guided by voices. They're the perfect example of what he's talking about, they were all his age when they "got famous". They are the perfect example of doing whatever they want at any age and i think their album bee thousand would do an amazing job of teaching him that
I accidentally fell asleep midway through this compilation, their words & tone of voice was very soothing and reassuring for me that I just started to drift off
These guys have so much range and insight that they can be batshit ridiculous and juvenile one minute and divulge some deep thoughts and emotional content the next. Love these guys!! 🎉
you can only be fueled by gratitude for so long.... at some point u start asking urself.... "what if i spent too much money on food delivery services to receive one cookie?"
Ive always wanted to learn to play an instrument, i love music and it's whats kept me alive through my darlest moments; i started learning to play the drums in December 2023, and im gonna be 29 in a week. Never give up on your dreams friends, find a way to achieve them even if it takes time and a lot of courage 💙
Hearing this compilation was very helpful. Lately I have been having a lot of self doubt come to my head, but listening to Dan and Arin's perspectives on certain things felt very therapeutic. I'm probably gonna be going back to this compilation whenever I feel down. Much thanks for bringing these moments to light =)
I want someone to talk to like that Just sit on a couch, play some games, speak your mind I've waited 20 years for that person and still haven't found them yet
27 years old watching these silly, dumb, lovely boys and learning SO MUCH about my mental health. Yes we're watching dumb videos of idots playing games but f**k that we can learn something from anywhere. Just pay attention and care and youll learn
God I haven’t listened to Kevin and Dan’s love grumpcast thing in years and it still hits just as hard as it did then. I don’t know if I’ve made any progress since the last time I listened to it and that scares me
So I’ve started a new job as an engineering internship and Dan speaking on working in a cubicle has never hit home harder than right now. The work I’m doing feels like what a 5 year old or something that you pay a minimum wage esc job description rather than someone who is trying to develop themselves into the future of society. I hate it because all of done is assemble gym equipment in our office and other crap like that but when I’m given the opportunity to do meaningful work it’s so liberating… I don’t know how to feel about my job moving forward but I know I’m good enough for hard work and I strive to do hard work. (Still in college btw) I’m finding to accept that life won’t go your way, but still don’t be complacent with it not being what you want, strive to do hard work and find passion within it. Also be gracious for every opportunity that develops your skills and put forth quality effort
1:42 legit sometimes all it is is people repeating what they hear which mean theyre basically complaining "I’m aging just like every other human being is" which is SO stupid. If there's a reason like he talks about okay but like if you are legit just saying it bc youve heard others STOP because its hyucking pointless 29:00 yeah this is similar to the whole reference thing in art 1:10:30 YIKES thats the one that really f’d me up. I'm glad you seem to not had issues with it
I have been in a cubicle/admin based job for 5 years..after being in retail for 7 years it was such a nice difference..I now feel I need to find something else to do as I am SUPER feeling what Dan is putting down at 1:30:30 :'L
Does anyone realize that the story Arin talked about Bruce Lee and his 'partner' about running 3 extra miles, was a story of how JACKIE CHAN was the partner and BRUCE LEE was the one tell him to go further.
very interesting.... ive learned a lot from the game grumps over the years weather its perspective wisdom experience relationships etc... but as i get older ive learnd to listen to what they say and come up with better conclusions on my own, weather i agree with them or if i was just some dumb kid listening to them and nodding yes to everything they're saying. taking some time off from watching game grumps was really helpful especially listening to specific videos like these where the subjects are more thought provoking
For the not realising you're going to die thing, I've never related to that. The whole concept of death is that it's the inevitable fate of everyone, right? It feels odd to not immediately realise that applies to you, as though you're somehow not a part of everyone. I've been fucked with the existential horror of knowing every second I live is one less second I have in the future, while simultaneously not having the energy to do any of the stuff I'm actually really passionate about. For well over a decade, probably since I was 10, that sword of damocles has been hanging above my mortal head, making me feel like shit. I don't like celebrating my birthday because one year lived is one less to live in the future, it feels like a day celebrating not only that I've lived this long, but also that eventually, some year down the line, I'll have my last birthday and won't even know it. My only shred of hope is that there's a shot I'll live long enough to be around for aging reversal tech, but even if that happens, if capitalism is still around I doubt I'd be able to afford it.. I basically had my mid-life crisis at 15, which hopefully isn't an omen that I'll die when I turn 30.
i just turned 21 but i can relate to you. it happens more so around my birthday but its just kinda part of life but who knows i might die in the next 9 years too lol
Fell out of love with the grumps in recent times, since I think I've just moved on from their content. This channel is actually more entertaining to me than their regular content. I dunno what it is, but the uploader manages to cut just the right segments that I like. They do it even better than the now defunct Game Grumps Shorts channel!
I'm gonna be honest I also agree with the whole "talent" thing I mean you might have a natural talent for say playing piano but unless you actually take the time to HONE that skill it's not gonna get you anywhere
The sad truth about why pork is banned in many religions actually has almost nothing to do with it's cleanliness or nutritional value. It actually has more to do with the fact that there is just not that much food in the desert. I'll let you put the rest together. if you know, then you know.
@@HeroSword_P It's a rather difficult topic to discuss, but the primary reasons have to do with three main points. The first is that wile they are an entirely different species, we have a lot of physiological similarities. And they are livestock with whom shepherds are often in close proximity. Meaning that there are a lot of opportunities for pigs to act as vectors for the spread of disease for certain parasites, bacteria, and viruses. The second is that they will eat just about anything, meaning that they may not have the best health if the shepherd isn't feeding them right. Exacerbating a verity of issues from health to the nutritional value of the meat. I know, it sounds like I'm contradicting my previous statement, but bear with me. It gets way worse. The third involves both of the previous reasons, with a twist of nauseating reality. The fact that crime has always existed, and that wars and minor conflicts were quite popular at the time. It was sometimes the easiest way to get rid of bodies to feed them to whatever would take them. And even sadder, pork and human meat look and taste almost identical. So a lot of very concerted effort has been put in to make sure that if you have pork for dinner that it isn't pigs who were diseased or poorly fed, who were fed human flesh, or who were just not pigs.
That first bit comes from such a place of beautiful luck and privilege. I love Dan but he is THE luckiest person on this earth. He just stumbled into a fake job that pays a nice salary.
@@bobstevenson3130 Dan said something similar to this, but I've always thought about chasing dreams like this: It's not wise to chase your dreams, but if you're gonna do it, chase your dreams wisely. And I know this sounds like mumbo jumbo, but I really just mean make sure to have a way out in case of failure, but also know when it's time to go balls deep and leave yourself no escape because you truly believe there is no way out but through success. That being said, everyone has thought they were 100000% correct about something and been wrong, but I guess that's what makes a great story in your life. Anyways, best of luck my friend, we all love ya and wish ya the best.
I find it interesting that so often, when they get into these deep chats, Arin either is sick, or his voice drops enough for him to sound raspy and sick. Something about being serious makes his voice get rough.
Same thing happens to me. When I'm having a serious conversation, my throat gets a bit raspy. It feels similar to how your throat feels when you cry, but there aren't any tears, and it might not even be sadness.
52:53 Arin saying “That’s not him” was my exact reaction when I saw my Nana for the last time at her funeral. My dad’s mom passed away the summer of my senior year and I attended the funeral with him and my 10 year old brother. I didn’t really grieve/cry at the funeral because I needed to hold it together to comfort my brother and be there for my dad. But it was time to go up to pay my respects and I said I love you and kissed her cheek. Everything changed for the worst because that was not her. Her face and body was there but that wasn’t her. The memory I had of her was warm, joyful, soft, and sweet, not a cold, rigid body in a casket. That image is burned in my head and I’m pretty sure it won’t go away. It’s been a year and half since she passed and I’m still torn up from the memory. RIP Nana 🕊️
Same! I'm about to be 30 this year and rather than be like "oh God I'm so old", I feel more like "hell yeah I made it this far and I hope I have many more to go, let's do this!"
2:50 I know this clip is older but I’m 27 turning 28 come December and I HATE when peers my age say they’re “too old” and “god I’m so old,” You’re making yourself old by not taking responsibility for your life. When they say “you’re as young as you feel,” you are, and I feel fantastic. I’m not afraid to age, I can accomplish what I want to at any age.
All the more reason I love the grumps. The goofiest goons on the planet can buckle down and really speak some truth that a lot benefit from hearing. Love them, I hope I can tell them how they’ve helped me some day
Yeah of course not, he’s vocally an alt right putz Jon thinks anti white racism exists my guy, it wouldn’t have been possible for arin to come out around him much less anything else. Jon is if drama alert was a different genre of youtube video
@@LucifersfursonaIt does it exist plus you’re bringing up politics because you feel threatened by someone political stance. Arin had similar if not the same energy like Jon back in the day. You must be new.
@@reaperluvr6984You’re describing specifically systemic racism. Racism on its own is just the belief that one race is better than another. Hating or even preferring any race is racism no matter who you are.
im reverse motivated by the though of dying someday. like what if what im doing is a waste of time? i dont want to put hours into trying something just to find out i suck. or give up later. if i had immortality the whole universe would open up for me. because i have so much time that nothing i do is a waste.
I feel ya. My mindset is “fuck it, have fun while you can”. I’m in my mid 30’s and I literally do not care if I die by 50. But I’m gonna go out doing stuff I love.
Literally everything besides breathing, drinking water and eating could be considered a waste of time. Do the thing, I am not good at fighting games (for example) but I like them. I'll get my dumb self whooped over and over but I always get better the next time I boot up the game. Write that book, direct that movie, make that game, start that business, or just try to find time for things you're passionate about and enjoy it.
It's my favorite thing in the world to sit down and talk to someone about deep things. Me (19), and this older man Denis (74), sat down and talked for two hours about advancements in technology in the world of science and engineering and it was the best conversation that i've ever had.
Been waiting for this compilation for a while now. I’ve just been rewatching the ones about all of the Grump’s stories but I love hearing them talk about serious things. Thank you Danny and Arin for guiding so many young people through life and thank you for putting this video together ❤️
