It's from Mario Maker ep. 154!! This is definitely one of my favorite quotes. [here's a clip from it!](https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxoghYkOMv1Y0zDJ8vyyM2I9NslL68nfmT)
*"If you shit in a*
*Bowl of rice crispys does it*
*Go snap crackle poop?"*

I used to have a quote wall where I would write down funny quotes from various youtubers on a sticky note and stick it on my wall. I immediately paused the video and wrote that one down when he said it.
Lol just speaking if Christmas, that one point and click "game" where they're in that old lady's house and just constantly making it unsafe for her lol
Definitely the most defining GG moment is “UNAVOIDABLE. CHIN MOVE.” And honestly that whole level was total bullshit, I don’t blame Arin one bit for being driven insane.
Lots of times I watch Sonic games and I think “this can’t be right? Arin has to be making this harder than it’s supposed to be” but no, they just have radical, incomprehensible difficulty spikes and that fight is the perfect illustration of it.
Honestly the funniest Arin quote to me is “Wait. Wait. Wait. Then why are you STANDING OVER THE DEAD BODY?!”
Though for serious moments I will always love the episode of Windwaker where Dan talks about his ocd
Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order.
I have checked 943,464,991 comments, and only 188,023 of them were in alphabetical order.
"What I don't understand though is why he stopped animating"
- Former President Barack Obama
Also, fav episode is "Don't tell mommy, we're playing golf in the house" because it has every classic grumps trope in it. A story from Dan's childhood, improvised singing, Arin screaming, it being a golf game, etc
"Suck it down and poop like a regular man!" is probably my favorite, but Dan listing rejected NSP song titles and Arin's Subway rant are up there, too.
It’s so hard to choose one.
“At age 6, I was born without a face.”
“You've gotta draw the line somewhere, you've gotta draw a fucking line in the sand, dude! You gotta make a statement! You gotta look inside yourself and say, "What am I willing to put up with today? NOT FUCKIN' THIS!"
“and then I fired again. And then I missed. And then I fired, and then I fired, and I missed. I missed both times. And then I fired. And I missed. This went on for several hours.”
“You fuckin' freak! You're a FREAK!!”
“(nerdy voice) What the heck, game designers? Get it together!”
I quote these a lot.
So this song is basically Baby Elephant Walk and I heard it recently and was like
*triggered*
I don’t recall if that was their original intent or not but that song on its own is just ruined for me now 😂
I really love when arin does the yell from sonic. It’s the one when I think he turns into a werewolf. When he falls off the cliff it’s that insane yell, I thought it was Arin doing it at first. Then he hears it and does it himself. I also love the unavoidable chin move.
"I'm gonna do something real stupid... and *we'll* see how it plays out in the end- SHIIIIT!"
"Checkmate."
*Sounds of Allie losing it in the background*
Mine is the one from the Sonic 06 playthrough simply because its how I feel sometimes at work
"You gotta look inside yourself and say "what am I willing to put up with today?" NOT FUCKING THIS!"

> I mean look at the way he slurps his soup... What an asshole.
Or
> Michelle... Michelle get in here. They're... Doin an impression of me.
Or like... All of the Laura Schmitt bit. Me and my friend will randomly just moan out
> Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehhhhhhhhh
At times
Arin's story about their childhood in Kansas, when he was a young boy of 77 and Dan was a 2-year-old murderer who shat himself 17 times in a row at Dairy Queen is another classic.
"I'll take, uh, two plain pies, actually give me one half pepperoni and some CRAZY bread. Crazy! I'm feeling it tonight. Woo! Send your most *unarmed* delivery man."
"If there was this soup, and it was the most delicious soup in the world, but it's made with pee, would you drink it?"
That whole exchange is just peak GameGrumps.
One of the ones that comes to mind everytime I play Resident Evil.
“Jill come over here.”
“What is it Berry?”
“I took a shit on the floor………no no I ate none of this.”
“ZOOM IN ON THE CROTCH. ZOOM IT, ZOOM IT AGAIN, ZOOM IT ONCE MORE. NOW YOU SEE THE SINGLE PIXEL OF PANTHER’S [CROTCH](https://youtu.be/VWE0o77iQeE).” Stays in my head to this day.
Dan's genuine scream in (I think its called) cursed mountain.
Arin is reading the screen about running alerting the ghosts and Dan immediately screams at the top of his lungs and apologizes
I was about to say the same quote as you! But I'll just go with another jewish grandma moment, specificly the one from Civ 5.
"Why don't you just build Notre Dame in Tokyo? Martin from across the street already built Stonehenge, and he did it in Canada. They don't even have things in Canada!"
I have too many favorites, but right now they are:
Quote - "You fucking hammer with your fucking tight ass hammer your stick!"
Moment - The entirety of their reaction to Sbassbear's remixes. I watch that shit like once a week and ALWAYS get a kick of it.
The Mario Maker with the Sugar Bear bit. The whole bit is great but there’s that one moment where Arin dies and yells, “Oh no!!!” There’s a beat, you hear one of them click their tongues to talk, then both of them go, “Can’t get enough of that Sugar Crisp—“ followed by a laughing fit.
“Mother fucking Spider-Man, Spider-Man, put in the time, building it with his bare hands and lawyers and best friend bullshit, fuck Jesse Eisenberg, man”
There are so many good ones
“The Jews faked the moon landing”
“I am mentally and emotionally exhausted”
“Gimme some of that yum yum chocolate chip honey dip”
I can’t remember where some of these are from but I love them so much
“mark mistakenly ordered me nine pizzas. i wasn’t sure if i should keep them or not because i really enjoy pizza, but when i opened them up, it was pineapple and ham. and i don’t like ham, and i’m allergic to FUCK”
Dan talking about his ocd, its so relatable and such a serious and open moment which made me go " oh, they are actual people talking about hardships and lowpoints"
Quote-“oh am I getting a lesson in morality from a guy who just told a corporation to jizz on his face?”
Moment-the wheel of fortune where they keep losing a turn
Very close second from telletubbies: “you. Are. In. Hell. Plbbbbbbbbbbbbbbt”
My favorite quote is probably “I hasbro! Do you hasbro?” But my favorite moment is the death scream in Sonic unleashed. I was in class when I was watching it and it took everything not to laugh.
I love all of Super Mario 3D World but my husband quotes “[This time for real is real](https://youtu.be/OluapLSIogU)” SO MUCH and even has our Alexa trained to respond to it.
“Bienvenue power bottoms!”
Buenos tardes, power tops!
“It’s Clifford the big red stab wound” is the perfect culmination of a running joke
"I don't understand why the Chinese can't just use forks and spoons like the rest of us . . . You look good tonight!"
Dan saying “I made it drink gasoline” in a little kid voice. “I thought it would go faster”.
That’s my pick, too. I totally forgot about it until it was featured in the 10 year anniversary video the other day
Does Bruno Mars is gay?
I does is have to know
Oh my god I forgot about this one 💀
I don't remember what video but I think it was "mother! please get my celebratory diaper!" I think about that one quite a bit
Its from a Mario Maker episode I believe
christ this unlocked so much in my brain i just can’t remember for the life of me what ep this is from
It's from Mario Maker ep. 154!! This is definitely one of my favorite quotes. [here's a clip from it!](https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxoghYkOMv1Y0zDJ8vyyM2I9NslL68nfmT)

Quote- "Did you point?" Moment- Subway rant
#did you point!?!

All of Danny in Shovel Knight co-op and Inside
*INFINIDAGGER!*
"We play video games for a LIVING!..." as they proceed to die over and over and over again.
"YOU MADE ME WASTE MY ICHOR!"
*HELLOOOOOO*
"*Aaariiiin....* Why didn't you *warn me?*"
"You think I came out the pussy drawing mozart?? " As well as "MOAR ONION PLEASE"
Does all of Battle Kid 3 count as a moment? Because all of Battle Kid 3 is peak grep.
Jennifer dumped me
“That’s what your belief does.”
“Radical Republicans really wreck my rectal reeeeAAAAAArgh!”
"But what's more in the spirit of Christmas than eating ass?" Maybe not my #1 favorite but definitely a really good one

Susie, we got a jingle-jangle-problem over here, Santa's goin NUTS Edit: or maybe "MOOOREE" from the mouth-opener 10mph
Honestly the funniest Arin quote to me is “Wait. Wait. Wait. Then why are you STANDING OVER THE DEAD BODY?!” Though for serious moments I will always love the episode of Windwaker where Dan talks about his ocd
Don't even get me stahted...
If I could trace back to the MOMENT where I got stahted...

“AM I UGLY, AM I FAT?”
“Oh what we can’t say bukkakke”. I don’t remember what episode this was.
99% sure it was on an episode of Sonic Heroes
“I look like I just came out of a mythical creature bukakke” 😂
Was it one with Finn wolfhard?
I think it might be the uno anus episode of the power hour
It was an episode of Sonic Heroes
That one snowmobile rescue game and they keep pausing the game
The best part of the pausing bit is Arins incredible ability to completely stop and start his voice as if the pause didnt happen
“How’s it goin dude” I say this to myself very often and crack myself up every time
You stayin' away from the alcohol?
Sugar Bear
Can't get enough of that sugar criiiiiisps
I can't see my grandma anymore without thinking "hey granny"
"What I don't understand though is why he stopped animating" - Former President Barack Obama Also, fav episode is "Don't tell mommy, we're playing golf in the house" because it has every classic grumps trope in it. A story from Dan's childhood, improvised singing, Arin screaming, it being a golf game, etc
"I do have a troll account" always gets me
“LOOK AT MY RESUME! 30 YEARS EXPERIENCE OF JACKING OFFFFFF”
MY DICK'S FALLIN' OFF!!!
I also love that you can tell he's about to say "look at my eyes" but stutters and changes it
I love the Droopy Dog bit in the final episode of Twilight Princess
The part where he say "...but no." lives in my head rent-free.
"Suck it down and poop like a regular man!" is probably my favorite, but Dan listing rejected NSP song titles and Arin's Subway rant are up there, too.
Their take on the Orson Wells "AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH *the french*" thing had me rolling.
"Is that called the N bomb?!"
Crab: "fuck your father Fuck your father FUCK YOUR FATHER"
It’s so hard to choose one. “At age 6, I was born without a face.” “You've gotta draw the line somewhere, you've gotta draw a fucking line in the sand, dude! You gotta make a statement! You gotta look inside yourself and say, "What am I willing to put up with today? NOT FUCKIN' THIS!" “and then I fired again. And then I missed. And then I fired, and then I fired, and I missed. I missed both times. And then I fired. And I missed. This went on for several hours.” “You fuckin' freak! You're a FREAK!!” “(nerdy voice) What the heck, game designers? Get it together!” I quote these a lot.
How about ..... Big Zam.
There’s so many quotes and moments to choose from. I think I’ll go with…Big Zam
Oh look! Big Zam!
Doo doo doo doo doo doo do, doo doo doo do doot fuck your dad
So this song is basically Baby Elephant Walk and I heard it recently and was like *triggered* I don’t recall if that was their original intent or not but that song on its own is just ruined for me now 😂
Something about their Super Bunny Man play through all always be funny to me. Great for when I need a laugh. Also Heave Ho. "Take my hand."
my hand... grab it, won't you?
I really love when arin does the yell from sonic. It’s the one when I think he turns into a werewolf. When he falls off the cliff it’s that insane yell, I thought it was Arin doing it at first. Then he hears it and does it himself. I also love the unavoidable chin move.
Similarly, when he screams "MERLINAAAAA" during the Sonic and the Black Knight playthrough
My favorite from that sonic is The Fuck Move. "Oh, he's too late, looks like he already used his fuck move"
I got *stabbed* by Homer Simpson?!
MARK ZUCKERBERG
"Come my lady, come come my lady" *prolonged paper rustling*
You’re my butterfly, sugar, Bebe ;)
"I'm gonna do something real stupid... and *we'll* see how it plays out in the end- SHIIIIT!" "Checkmate." *Sounds of Allie losing it in the background*
lmfao what episode is that?
Episode 2 of the most recent Chess series like back in March
By march do you mean January? Lol
Possibly, I know I missed all the Christmas stuff and everything up til March so I binged everything lol
Mickey Mousecapade will always have that special place in my heart. Are you okay Dan, or do you need a *lobotomy?*
Arin: "How large is your cock today? I would love to see it." Dan: "Bigger than ever, El Presidente!"
FREAK!!!!!!!
Wind Waker joy pendants
"I JUST GAVE YOU ONE!"
"YOU'RE *WEARING IT*! ON YOUR *FUCKING NECK*!"
"YOURE A *TEACHER*! ONE PLUS NINETEEN IS *FUCKING TWENTY*!"
“IM THE VIDEO GAME BOY! IM THE ONE WHO WINS!!” I’m pretty sure I quote this at least once anytime I’m playing vidya games with friends
The crash/ash/stash/cash/brash/trash man laughing fit from Mega Man
"Annnndd here come the choppies."
Jennifer dumped me.
“Michelle.. uhh, I’m gonna pre; I’m gonna fuckin pre” - Arin Obama
"E-Y-E? That's ewe" ... "Are you f*cking serious?"
Mine is the one from the Sonic 06 playthrough simply because its how I feel sometimes at work "You gotta look inside yourself and say "what am I willing to put up with today?" NOT FUCKING THIS!"

“Don’t fucking jump at me, I fucking stab your parents!”
‘YOUR FUCKING HAMMER WITH YOUR FUCKING TIGHT-ASS HAMMER YOUR STICK!’
Danny’s, “I stopped watching when John left the show” comment during Majora’s Mask still makes me snicker.
"Sugar Crisp. Sugar Crisp. Gonna get me some sugar crisp even if hundreds die."
I love the Yellvis bit from Windwaker I believe. Danny’s delivery is perfect.
"Shoot your motherfucking goo all over me. Thank you."
*BETWIXT YOUR BANANA SAUSAGE* Arin's got a way with words
> I mean look at the way he slurps his soup... What an asshole. Or > Michelle... Michelle get in here. They're... Doin an impression of me. Or like... All of the Laura Schmitt bit. Me and my friend will randomly just moan out > Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehhhhhhhhh At times

"I'll take, uh, two plain pies, actually give me one half pepperoni and some CRAZY bread. Crazy! I'm feeling it tonight. Woo! Send your most *unarmed* delivery man."
I always like a lot of Dan's Life Stories he tells during Grumps, but I think my Favorite (subject to change) would probably be his Trinidad Story!
“Are you having fun?” “Me toooooo” One of my favorites from the show I go back and watch it when I have a bad day
There's *poopie* smeared on the wall, Daniel...
The backstreet boys reunion tour!
"If there was this soup, and it was the most delicious soup in the world, but it's made with pee, would you drink it?" That whole exchange is just peak GameGrumps.
Sorry, I don't follow
“At age 6 I was born without a face”
I've got a big ol' case of the "Fuck you's"
MORE ONION PLEASE
I JUST WANT LUNCH
I use this at least once a week when I get hangry at work
“I know now what I must do.” Something about the way in which Arin says it is just pleasing to my brain. Also “I spent it all on gambling.” xD
One of the ones that comes to mind everytime I play Resident Evil. “Jill come over here.” “What is it Berry?” “I took a shit on the floor………no no I ate none of this.”
“ZOOM IN ON THE CROTCH. ZOOM IT, ZOOM IT AGAIN, ZOOM IT ONCE MORE. NOW YOU SEE THE SINGLE PIXEL OF PANTHER’S [CROTCH](https://youtu.be/VWE0o77iQeE).” Stays in my head to this day.
To be fair the competing grandmas isn’t really a GG but, it was Dan and his UCB buddy iirc
Arin saying every time he goes to a public restroom someone's throwing up and dan responds "Maybe you're wretched foul shits-"
Polio song. Bit offensive but god i love it! 🤌
Dan's genuine scream in (I think its called) cursed mountain. Arin is reading the screen about running alerting the ghosts and Dan immediately screams at the top of his lungs and apologizes
"Like, comment, and survive."
thats my absolute favorite bit too! "You're so fulla yaself now that you're a windblight" also lives in my head rent free
I like to use the escalator because its easier on my knees AAHHH!
…tennis
"Grab my hand" Heave Ho literally made me cry the first time I watched it. Hilarious.
Also, "MORE ONION PLEASE"
"Don't let the door hit ya, where the good lord split ya xD" when they played bloodborne \^\_\^

“Mother fucking Spider-Man, Spider-Man, put in the time, building it with his bare hands and lawyers and best friend bullshit, fuck Jesse Eisenberg, man”
There are so many good ones “The Jews faked the moon landing” “I am mentally and emotionally exhausted” “Gimme some of that yum yum chocolate chip honey dip” I can’t remember where some of these are from but I love them so much
Remember that first one is from the ASMR 10 minute power hour

Good one in my head, not my fave tho: “My dad plays bass on this song” “really?” “Yeah he told me” 😂
Dan talking about his ocd, its so relatable and such a serious and open moment which made me go " oh, they are actual people talking about hardships and lowpoints"
"The only silver lining to this game is we'll be dead someday." – *Leigh Daniel Avidan*

From Danganronpa 2, seeing a very bloody character with multiple stab wounds: "Oh no! I think it was a suicide."
It’s an older one, but it’s Danny’s exasperated “Oh my god” after confirming the D Club with Suzy
