Yup, it's another one of these masterpieces. (With CrankGameplays!) | Christmas Stories PART 1 

That guy wasn't a voice actor, he was a voice provider

27:55 NOTHING COULD HAVE PREPARED ME FOR THIS LINE AND ITS DELIVERY

If anyone, and I mean anyone else played these kinds of games I'd be bored to tears, but somehow every time Donnie and Arlen play them I'm all in.

27:40 This is clearly the best moment out of the entire game. So much emotion and feelings of desperation between the two lovers

27:30 Arin's cut off "I hope he never shows up again" with the toybox wizard showing up hit me so hard I was choking on laughter.

Arin progressively going to pieces and descending deeper and deeper into full-blown anxiety when he was stuck on that puzzle piece screen was both puzzling and incredibly entertaining.

Ethan's deadpan "Spencer, we're leaving" at 48:15 hit my funny bone.

i just love the absolute blank stare and monotone voice of charlie as he talks about the horrors of war

27:49 Man the sheer difference of giving a fuck between the nutcracker and the toy man killed me.

"Barney hung from the rafters, freshly pickled" 😂 26:08

I just need everyone to know that this is one of my actual favorite Christmas-themed games. There's an ENTIRE SERIES of these games and they get weirder and weirder each year. There are 11 of them so far.

It’s great to see Dan and Arin enjoy Christmas with their son ,Ethan, and their grand-fur-son, spencer! What a wonderful Christmas with family!!!

As a professional musician, hearing them describe a treble and bass clef made me laugh very hard 😭

Me as i start the video: "Yaaay another horrible christmas game with stupid plot!" Me 40 minutes in: *Gasp* " OH MY GOD CHARLIE'S BEST FRIEND SHOT HIS LEG TO GET THE BARON'S BOUNTY?!?!?!?"

hell yes, ethan, christmas hidden games, and two middle aged men who make the haha's. i am complete

Since 10 mph I’m glad Ethan has shown up occasionally even during the holidays.

"As an added bonus, any nuts you want cracked, I'm your man!' 🤣 1:43 You couldn't have a line more suited for Game Grumps than that.

I love that I discovered markiplier and the grumps separately but then they just happened to be connected. And then I loved Ethan from Mark and now he's with the grumps sometimes too. Just perfect

More like Giggle Grumps, amirite? 18:13 Ethan suddenly becomes Jacksepticeye. 59:56 Charlieeeee, that really huuuurt!

27:54 I found my new go-to clip when I need to laugh. Thank you gentlemen

27:29, the interaction with Dan and Ethan regarding the weird spring man was the best!

YEEEESSSSSSSS! A Christmas Miracle✨ EDIT: Came back to add I really hope the second one comes out for Christmas, and that every time these guys get together with EEF it is nonstop hilarity. Ethan is like their little brother and the three of them are just the same energy and I love it. Happy Holidays Grumps, EEF and Grump Fam! ✨❤🎄✨

"Dude, this is gonna be so crunk..." Arin, constantly reassuring everyone he possesses the least weed knowledge.

Help me step-nutcracker, I'm stuck in the snow!

Arin: turns on the sparkles to not miss anything Also Arin: ignores the sparkles

Me and a friend were just saying last night how these games are our favorite weird game grumps tradition. It wouldn't be jingle grumps without a findy puzzle game! Edit to add: oh good, the plot is batshit insane, these are the best ones

Nina: "I sold my arms to buy you a left boot" Charlie: "I lost my left leg to be in your arms"

27:51 Someone, give this man an Oscar

Any clef has the same 5 lines and 4 spaces -- whether Treble, Alto, Tenor, or Bass. The clef just denotes which notes fall on these lines and spaces

love that arin didn't even try to make 'jingle guest grumps' use the correct voice. :P

Truly a christmas miracle that we have yet another one of these games to watch them fumble through

Dude these story based search and find games are some of my favorite episodes during the holidays ❤️

I love how Ethan is like the little cousin that gets to hang out with Danny and Arin during the Christmas family reunion and they share weird stuff they found in their backyard, it's really wholesome 🧡

Charlie's voice acting is the auditory embodiment of the "¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯" emoji

Still mad you never saved the cat. RIP Fred. You and your grappling hook will be missed

In all sincerity, the holiday seek and find episode(s) might be the video I look forward to the most every year. There’s just something about them.

You should get Jack and Gab to do one with you next time they're in LA. Gab loves these games and is very good at them.

"I'm removing the tin soldier from the equation"

SO happy these games are returning, what a treat

Danny was so close to explaining the clefs. The only part he's missing is they point at a line on which the notes start. They start with a different note depending on the clef. For example, the bass or F clef tells you which line the F starts on. And yeah it's lower than the trebble clef, which points to a higher G note. It's so you don't have to always start with middle C and end up writing all your bass notes 3+ lines below the bottom line lol.

27:55 oh my God that delivery was amazing LMFAO

"Oh hes like the.....(in unison) the cat!" And their guest is lost but we lovelies know they like this game more than we like watching.

I'll never get over Danny's voice whenever he does the chick shouting _"Computer!"_ It's one word and it still fuckin' kills me xD

Ethan AND his dog?! Truly is a magical time of year

danny, an accomplished musician, not knowing anything about sheet music KILLS me

56:17 for if you’re looking audio for the animation from Neal.

My cat is just as crazy ab these series as I am (he loves watching the mouse move around on screen) 💖

27:55 I love Charlie's pondering of the horror of war

27:50 is the best laugh I've had in a while. The voice acting is amazing

That collective "Ohhhh" was adorably awesome XD and that got fun and really into it. Awesome episode.

"The war is over, we're on our way home" *2 Minutes Later* "Everyone died and we became prisoners of the war* Wait....what?

Cliff notes version of the Cliff notes version of Music Fundamentals The treble clef is the clef that's higher. It is typically used from middle C upwards. The Bass clef is the lower clef. It is from middle C downwards. They're separate so that you don't have to do multiple ledger lines in one direction. Some instruments and voices in the treble clef are, Soprano voice, flute, clarinet, trumpet, alto voice, and french horn. Some voices and instruments in the bass clef are bass voice, trombone, tuba, euphonium, tenor voice, and bass guitar. Sincerely, A future music teacher

I can only hope that we get another clip worthy of the old grandma choking to death on smoke lmao. Legit one of my favorite moments in all of game grumps

13:38 - Musician here. The clefs are used as a general range for each instrument. Higher instruments (flute, violin) play in treble, and lower instruments (tuba, cello) play in bass clef. Notation is just reading for people who can read it.

Got a cigar, I bite it, it’s for the look, I DON’T LIGHT IT!

"Am I crazy? No, I saw something. Do you want to ask the nutcracker for a hint?" What an amazing sequence of sentences caught on tape by these gentlemen🤣

Danny and Arin get so full of beans with Ethan around, I love these three lol

I don't understand how an hour goes by so fast with these guys.

First thought when Ethan pointed out the puzzle piece and Arin said "Good Observation" was "Guest Grumps Observation Duty"

Charlie’s voice…actor reminds me of those stand ins for actors in movies. Not the talent carrying the role but someone who resembles them from afar enough for the crew to get the equipment set up properly. Except he was also the final talent

27:53 To say I'm on the floor is an understatement

I love how Charlie explains the horrors of warfare as if it was an inconvenient line at walmart

Arin playing games with Dan: 'So I put this on the hardest difficulty, and NO, DAN, you're not bringing the difficulty down!' Arin playing games with guests: 'So I set the game to the easiest difficulty so that we can have a good time. See how things twinkle when you can interact with them?' I get the feeling half the joy Arin gets out of regular GG is just making Danny have an existential crisis every episode now. XD Very special kind of friendship where you get to unashamedly troll each other in the semi-abusive manner, and both of you be cool with it.

27:54 greatest Voice acting Ever

💙I waited to watch this until Christmas morning and I'm so glad I did! You guys just don't know how much you've made my day. this is the 1st year having Christmas without my mom and I didn't think I would be able to laugh today!♡ so thank you guys so much!💙

I love how with the difficulty mode selection it's Nina's, Charlie's, and Nutcracker's mode. Not Albert's mode. Nutcracker's mode. He got his name privileges revoked, he can only be known as the Nutcracker for the rest of his life.

i like the almost correct info about treble/bass lol. a staff always has five lines and four spaces, treble and bass are used to tell you where c4 (middle c on a piano) would basically be, which then tells you where the other notes would fall. arin also named FACE, which is spaces on a treble clef staff, not the lines on a bass clef staff lol

Danny - The Treble clef is also called a 'G' clef, because the swirl at the bottom forms a crosshair on the line for 'G'. The Bass Clef is also called an 'F' clef, because the line between the two dots is F. It just so happens that putting a staff with a G clef above a staff with an F clef, leaves them separated by just middle C on a ledger line, which is really convenient for piano (the two staves together are called the Grand Staff). There are also 'C' clefs which form a bracket surrounding whichever line C is on, but they're weird and less frequently used.

Let it be known I still haven't recovered from 27:55 and likely never will :'D

I completely died when Dan quoted "Gettin' Jiggy Wit It" from the critically acclaimed album _Willennium_

YES!!!!!! An hour special with Ethan, this is the best Christmas Eve Eve gift I could ask for

I love these types of games because my grandma used to play tons of them and introduced me to them when I was like 6, shes the progenitor of the gamers in the family, she bought consoles like the Atari and NES for herself when they came out not for my dad and his brothers

It's nice seeing Danny and Arnold with Crank Loves Games.

as ethan always says in every video, i cant wait to crank it to this gameplay

These games are my absolute favorite and this is the best X-mas gift this year! Thank you GG and Ethan!

i genuinely love it when you guys do hidden object christmas games

Hey Dan you were pretty close to what a Clef means in sheet music. The clef denotes what octaves the sheet music is meant to be read in. Music is built around middle C, written as C4. A treble clef denotes that the lines are meant to be read as the notes between C4 and C6, while the bass clef denotes that the lines are meant to be read as the notes between C2 and C4. There is also an alto clef where C4 is the middle note and the lines are meant to be read as the notes between C3 and C5. From my experience in playing string instruments, the clefs don’t really matter that much as for 99.999% of music you play within the same clef on your instrument, i.e. a violin solely plays with treble clef and a bass solely plays in bass clef. The violas are the only exception as the vast majority of the time they play in alto clef, but I have seen a few pieces where they play in treble. Pianos are also kind of an exception as they typically play in bass clef with the left hand and treble with the right hand. I think in “band” instruments there is more shifting between clefs for instruments, but I’ve never played one of these instruments so I am unsure.

Having a Bachelors degree in music really hurt during this episode, but it don’t matter.😅

This Crank chap does a remarkably strong impression of the plank of wood voicing Charlie. It made things so much more hilarious.

I love whenever you collab with Ethan! Such a precious boy, must protect!

Oh my god... Charlie's voice acting... Who let that slide? 😅

I LOVE that Eef is making more regular appearances with our boys.

13:00 "wait! There was a puzzle piece!" "Thats some observation right there!" No thats adhd. I'm really good at find it games too but only when it doesn't matter.

Charlie’s va definitely read the script for the first time when he recorded his lines

I absolutely adore these three together. I hope we get to see more of him here!

I was saving this for Christmas morning, and boy was it an absolutely great way to start the day. It was hard to eat breakfast because of how much I was laughing - Both out of how all three guys were firing on all cylinders, and how unusually dark the story is for a Hidden Object-style game.

Half the time Charlie was narrating I thought it was actually Ethan just making fun of the real VA's obvious line reading

always love when they play these games, and having another friend along for the ride this time just adds so much more fun to this series, can't wait for more!

Arin saying that there are only four lines on the Bass clef really bugs me... especially since he used the space letters as rationale... there are the same number of lines in both clefs, five lines and four spaces

It makes me so happy when the grumps play these games during christmas!!

Ethan had me in tears merry Christmas Y'all have a good one

Idk what it is about this particular series of games, but I absolutely love them. Something about them is addicting. I remember playing the Snow White one, and accidentally stumbling upon and watching the Bluebeard one online. I just wish the endings of these games didn't wrap out so fast. You get to the conclusion and well the game just ends abruptly.

The fact that this is a sequel to one they already played is actually delightful. That one is one of my favourites to come back to during the festive season.

Ethan fits in so well with the grumps, he’s like the youngest sibling

"If you could just give us a little bit of emotion..." "You want me to move around more? How will that affect the recording?" "No, e-motion!" "Electronic motion?" "...Nevermind, it's fine as is."

Coming back here for the holidays again

i look forward to these every year ,but this one was extra special. Truly great entertainment.

As a person who plays these kinds of games regularly, this is funny and frustrating at the same time 😂

The fact that this is watchable shows how amazing the grumps sre

This game is gold 😂 I laughed so many times watching this playthrough
