No it's just a reference to the actual game where you merge gardening tools and a knife is one of them. Merging two knives gets you a rake. Also i would have never guessed playing the game would ever give me knowledge i needed to use...
The Merge Mansion team just realized that they're better at making films than they are at games. I expect Lilly's Garden full length live action film by next month.
I love how Danny didn’t notice she baked a file into the pie, implying that she was preparing for prison, and her granddaughter brought the pie to her.
Danny I hate you for missing the fact she PUT A FILE IN THE BOWL WHILE SHE WAS BAKING so when she was brought the pie she could use it to break out of jail. It's genius
HELLO!!! I want to spend time with celebrities. Just kidding. GAGAGAGAGA! I only want to spend time with my two girlfriends and record videos for UA-cam with the 3 of us. OH YEAH. Don't hate me for living the best life, dear tKer
What really surprised me was the fact that I saw one of the live-action ads on the actual TV, like not a social media site. They had the budget to get this as a real television commercial. Then I saw another animated one on social media after the live-action ones came out, and the animation quality dropped extensively. Probably because they blew their budget on the live-action.
Honestly grandma has nailed it. When you're old and you've got nothing to lose, might as well commit multiple murder. A life sentence wouldn't be as scary when you're 80.
@@Sproutgoodnight1161 prove to me that hell actually exists, and then i'll take this threat seriously. until then, i'm with OP. life sentence for mass murder isn't so bad if i'm already gonna die in like 2 years anyway lol.
Kathy Bates is imo one of the greatest actresses of all time, she can literally do anything, drama, comedy, horror/thriller, she's amazing, sooooo... How TF did they get her to do ads for a mobile game!?
At some point I caved in and downloaded the app and the knives thing is actually kind of a clever joke. In the game you have to merge low value objects to make better ones, and as far as I remember the knives are one of the low value ones. So you begin the game with a whole buch of knives that you have to pair up until you end up with a rake or something more useful.
3:06 so is anyone gonna tell us why she's wearing the prettiest gloves I've ever seen for gardening or...? there are bigger questions than the knives guys
Grandma isn’t a murderer, she’s just a master chef Those papers she was burning was her secret recipe. She wasn’t burying a body, just planting… spices? That wasn’t blood on her, just jam.
2:00 to be fair Danny, serial killers aren’t the most understandable people, there’s probably some weird reason behind it. Maybe it’s some kind of victor Zasz situation, he cuts himself for every kill, and she only uses one knife per person or something
i’ve solved it. she’s just a baker. the knives are for cutting pies, the red stuff on her apron was berries, she was burning her secret recipe, and she was planting seeds in the garden to grow her own berries. she doesn’t want anyone to know she makes pies. you’re welcome gamers😩
The director of the live action ads, Jim Jenkins, is an extremely well-respected director. He’s won a ton of awards and is responsible for more than a few of the best Super Bowl ads. Legitimately impressed that the Merge Mansion devs/producers decided to go with legitimately top-level production companies for their advertising given that they’d probably be just as successful with cheaper ones.
@@jello7380 the buzz from the prior ads caused people to download the app, which then caused them to be able to afford kathy and higher production value. it’s why they’re putting out the weird animated ones again, to stir up more interest so they can afford more live action ads
They got Kathy Bates to star in it, I think a high production value was required. Also if they ever did do a real feature film, they would definitely need Danny to make a cameo in it, as a nod to the UA-camrs who helped with this game's ad lore.
huge props to them tbh. 99% of ads with real people are incredibly cringe, uncreative, and they use the worst actors on this planet. These ads are genuinely good.
"i have 4 stars (input thing only possible with p2w)" "HA, I have 10 of those, 3 5 stars (input thing that is unlockable by gacha)" then a deep voiced dude comes and says "(NAME OF THE GAME) PLAY NOW"
They put literally everything into these ads, but the game is literally just merging random things to get to the next area. It's just so weird. Also why is the grandma hinted to be some type of murderer? Honestly I'm invested in this storyline.
yeah exactly! its like, how can they not see at this point that their true talent lies in someone's directorial eye that makes their ads. the game looks like some cheap same-old shit, but these ads tho...
I honestly love these wacky adds, Kathy Bates is just having the time of her life in these. Plus giving deep intriguing lore is not bad to make a repair/improve house game. Cause they keep going at it in the game, its not like they forget about it in it. In my book there is nothing wrong with this.
Knife collector (noun) [neif•kull•ekt•er] A corpse with multiple knives stuck inside of it for safe killing “Hey, did you see that cool knife collector next to the coat rack? They really think about everything these days!”
At the end of the knitting ad, Grandma was knitting something yellow. However, it couldn’t be another grandma decoy because she doesn’t wear any yellow. Who does wear yellow? The main girl. Grandma was knitting a decoy granddaughter for some nefarious purpose.
I hope that someday Merge Mansion goes the whole 9 yards and reworks the game into some suspenseful horror mystery game. Then people would actually want to play it.
The second live action ad is such a great concept for a parody horror movie oh my god. Where no matter where you go, it's always a hand-knitted replica, and you're like "Grandma, I can see you right there" but as soon as you get there, bam, it's a hand knitted replica. I'd watch that go on for, like, 2 hours but the actress just gets less and less afraid and more and more irritated. Edit: Wait oh my god the twist could be at the end that SHE was the hand knitted replica all along! When she finally finds grandma, grandma is beside a mirror, and then the camera pans to the mirror, which then shows the replica of the actress, and then it like falls over or something idfk
Sorry to be that person, but wasn't that the 3rd ad and not the 2nd? The 2nd one had the statues, and the first had the knives. The 3rd was the knitting one. Unless I missed something? Lol
I'm writing that down for when I inevitably get my mansion I built using blood money I earned as an assassin travelling across the globe like Agent 47 Have to slap a catboy's ass to enter the orgy ro- I MEAN SUPER SECRET DINING ROOM FOR RICH PEOPLE HAHA
The joke in the first ad is that in the game you "merge" items together to get new items, so in the game it would be completely normal to have a bunch of knives stored in your shed. Also explains the "so many knives, so little time" line that maybe eludes to how long it take to merge stuff or whatever idk
I can't believe I totally forgot about the game being a "merge" game and didn't even CONSIDER this. That's genuinely clever compared to all these other "is grandma a MURDERER!?"-themed ads.
The mystery is "what's grandma hiding?" Is Because she keeps exposing everything about herself. So like, it's really hard to figure out what she would actually try to hide from us.
I wanna see Danny get sponsored by merge mansion, then create an equally impressive ad for his sponsorship, just like these and like his music videos. I would love to see that honestly
If they fixed up their gameplay and reinvented the game, I feel like this could actually be a really good game. Make it story based, and include different kinds of puzzles. I’m not a huge fan of the “Hello Neighbor” games, but I could see this working in that style.
Okay, so I am actually obsessed with this game these days… and tbh that first ad made so much sense with actual game. If you merge 2 knives together you get a rake, and the grid that you have to play on is reminiscent of the shed’s tool board in the ad. That being said… these ads as a whole are a weird fever dream for sure. The evil grandmother theme is pretty random for a mind numbing procrastination app. Also love the channel, & I am proud to be Greg!
Damn!!! So disappointed! I was totally gonna ask if anyone who actually put the time in to play it for real could tell us if these had any validity! What a disappointment lol
I kinda love the game. Although I did stop playing when the grind for leveling up and unlocking new content became too much. The ads make no sense, but they must earn a shitton of money with this game to make this live action movie ad
I love how Danny says: “You can only kill one person at a time.” Soooooooo confidently, as if he had some sort of first-hand-experience on the subject☠️
I'm just so happy that Cathy Bates decided to do these ads. This is a great way to get 2022 started. I actually play a lot of these types of games to wind down while watching something, and it's surprising that I've never actually SEEN a Merge Mansion ad anywhere but Danny's videos. If I didn't already download like four matching/hidden object games right now, I'd probably get this one just to see how weird it gets.
There's not much there, it's good for mindless gameplay but you always have to keep updating for the different seasonal games and they don't give you the option not to :/
I HAD SEEN the live action pie one a few days ago! Watching ads on a mobile game to get free things, and then it hit me. It confused me so hard. ALSO: for that last animated ad, grandma put a file into the pie she was baking. Then it seems like she got arrested later that same day, and asked that the pie be brought to her while she was in jail. She knew she was going to get arrested, and baked a pie beforehand with her escape plan. Idk how Danny didn't get that EDIT: Sorry !! I was just surprised that he wrote it off so quickly, since this was Grandma's first appearance in actual jail. He just said it was boring, which is understandable after having gone through the live action ones that are much more exciting. But there was still something there!
I don't know why, but the fact that Danny doesn't know the meaning of the word "mortified" and seems convinced that it is related to someone being horrified makes me giggle every time
@@kayleedegroat I hate it when people pronounce it "in-TRIST-ing" and not "in-TER-esting". "conf-TER-ble" instead of "com-FORT-able" does it too. We all got our things haha
My theory is that the box has the words” made with love and secrets” Maybe the people were horrified at the secrets words. She then opens the box and they are all screaming. I think it’s a head. Maybe the granddaughter gathered her grandma’s old friends to show them what she send from prison. When the people see it they are shocked cuz the trauma of having a horrifying and sociopath friend made them scared. They then see a head and maybe it had the words-“ ur next” making them scared. The grandma is behind them now? So I think she escaped and the friends are all scared at seeing grandma from jail to back in normal society
There is such a solid community with these games, honestly. My mom has a whole Bridge Club-esqu group of international friends she's in the same team/clan as on _June's Journey,_ chatting on their Facebook group ALL the time. It's actually been really comforting for her during the pandemic. she personally never spent a DIME on free-to-play games, but other people definitely have and their ad revenue must be HUGE. I can see how games like this have their own profitable demographic. This probably sounds like an ad, but it's not I swear.
I was kinda into that game in past and the knife shed is actually kinda funny inside joke :D It's one of the first items mergable, so you mostly have full inventory of knives waiting for more energy to merge them
When danny did the last merge mansion video i downloaded it as a joke and at some point it started religiously playing it so i genuinely laughed when the garage was full of green knives since In the game merging items is most of the gameplay and knives are one of the lower ranked items so you tend to have a lot of them.
They need to give their marketing team a raise, a vacation and their first born children. They know what they are doing. I’m not gonna lie… I’m invested even though I’m still not sure what the game is about.
Just btw as someone who has played merge mansion for years now, the whole mystery thing is pretty much a lie. Even if you wanted to get to the ‘secret’ areas, you would need to get to level 43, which is literally impossible at this point in the game. I have absolutely ran out of things to do in the game, and need over 50,000 more XP to get to the next unlock-able area. Overall it’s a pretty good game, with nice events and a variety of options to merge. But if you’re just looking to find out what the hell ‘grandma is hiding’ then you’re out of luck.
I like it the way it is. They started making those special events, which helps level up faster. There was a Halloween one, a butterfly one, a Christmas one and now there's a strong one. I'm getting loads of XP from that.
8:37 I don't know if it's intentional but the fact she's knitting something yellow is kind of concerning when you notice that she isn't wearing anything yellow but the granddaughter is
This may sound weird but as someone whose watched a lot of murder mystery and true crime - disposing of the knives when she’s done with them so if anyone inspects her home they won’t find bloodied knives with any remnant of blood (you can use certain things to see if blood has been on something that’s been cleaned recently) in her possession
she obviously gets a new knife every kill, she keeps the old ones as tokens . common serial killer psychology
That was my idea too but instead I thought it was her signature in a murder.

No it's just a reference to the actual game where you merge gardening tools and a knife is one of them. Merging two knives gets you a rake. Also i would have never guessed playing the game would ever give me knowledge i needed to use...

I saw her drop something but I didn't know what it was
i thought it was a knife
Lol I thought she dropped a dropper into the pie. "That seems pointless." - Me
I thought she dropped a pipette into the bowl by accident and didn't notice 💀
Fun fact: The reason she has so many knives is because they ARE 1 use. In game every tool is a one use item. Use a rake once and it disintegrates.
her knives on low durability
That makes so much sense
how is this so obvious, yet simultaneously so easy to overlook?
And there were multiple potential rakes in there, because in the game if you merge 2 knives together you get 1 rake.
Nice catch!
"Grandma wait!"
"No."
Idk why, but I absolutely lost it at that exchange.

Have to slap a catboy's ass to enter the orgy ro- I MEAN SUPER SECRET DINING ROOM FOR RICH PEOPLE HAHA
The joke in the first ad is that in the game you "merge" items together to get new items, so in the game it would be completely normal to have a bunch of knives stored in your shed. Also explains the "so many knives, so little time" line that maybe eludes to how long it take to merge stuff or whatever idk
I can't believe I totally forgot about the game being a "merge" game and didn't even CONSIDER this. That's genuinely clever compared to all these other "is grandma a MURDERER!?"-themed ads.
Wait, that’s such a good theory! Hidden in plain sight too
And two knives make a rake
Honestly never played the game but cool theory.
@@in-ju8jw well I downloaded and it’s not a murder mystery at all :(
I’d honestly play this game just to encourage them to make even more of these ads 😂
I’m so happy you took my suggestion to continue talking about these ads since they are whole movies!
The mystery is "what's grandma hiding?" Is Because she keeps exposing everything about herself. So like, it's really hard to figure out what she would actually try to hide from us.
real Pup Named Scooby-Doo Red Herring energy
I wanna see Danny get sponsored by merge mansion, then create an equally impressive ad for his sponsorship, just like these and like his music videos. I would love to see that honestly
And all the while he insists he's not sponsored until the end
@@FreshCarrotsFinally Literally lyrics in the song "No I'm not sponsored!". Song title? What's Danny Hiding?"
OH MY GOD YOU HAVE 666 LIKES
They wouldn't since he said he hated the game
@@LiamLynchPhotographer no no no call it danny hiding?
It didn’t make me want to play the game, but it really made me want to watch the movie.
4:01 that’s where we disagree (level 33, baby)
cool new *tattoos,* Danny!😊
Well hi ot
that what i'm saying
Glad somebody else noticed
are they real or inkbox
@@brbsexting my guess is real, but maybe inkbox is his sponsor on his next video and he wanted to try them out
If they fixed up their gameplay and reinvented the game, I feel like this could actually be a really good game. Make it story based, and include different kinds of puzzles. I’m not a huge fan of the “Hello Neighbor” games, but I could see this working in that style.
Lmao it's a match-3 candy crush rip off 😂
@@sportzdoode1997 no it’s a match two evolution style game
@@sportzdoode1997 it’s honestly more boring than candy crush
Yeah, you'd be like, running around cleaning the house but there's a mystery on the side that you're also trying to solve
that's so true tho like maybe invest more money into the actual game than just the marketing/ ads
Honestly I would be excited if the ads become ACTUAL full length horror movies
It looks like they deleted all of these ads from their channel 🙃
Okay, so I am actually obsessed with this game these days… and tbh that first ad made so much sense with actual game. If you merge 2 knives together you get a rake, and the grid that you have to play on is reminiscent of the shed’s tool board in the ad. That being said… these ads as a whole are a weird fever dream for sure. The evil grandmother theme is pretty random for a mind numbing procrastination app.
Also love the channel, & I am proud to be Greg!
Damn!!! So disappointed! I was totally gonna ask if anyone who actually put the time in to play it for real could tell us if these had any validity! What a disappointment lol
I also play the game, I was kinda disappointed when they started doing the lily garden type wack adverts, still play the game though
Oooh. I just like watching the ads, but now you make me want to download the game.
I kinda love the game. Although I did stop playing when the grind for leveling up and unlocking new content became too much. The ads make no sense, but they must earn a shitton of money with this game to make this live action movie ad
Wait do you actually get to understand grandmas story with the actual game or is it just the candy crush type game??
I love how Danny says: “You can only kill one person at a time.” Soooooooo confidently, as if he had some sort of first-hand-experience on the subject☠️
Is?? Is it ? really?? Lmao??? it's just kind of a fact ??? like I'm sorry do u not know what knife murder is or?
@@nomoretwitterhandles nuke murder on the other hand...
What's Greg hiding?
@random boy Because it was so goddamn ridiculous of a statement that I was genuinely baffled
@@chunkyzamboni8407 Word!
I love your channel keep up the great stuff!!!
I’m literally seeing a Merge Mansion ad right before the video starts. It must be magic.
Me, an empath: “I’m sensing that Danny wants to be sponsored by Merge Mansion.”
Underrated comment
Ok mrs. people reader, he literally said that
@@phucdeptrai9017 woosh
@@phucdeptrai9017 joke
I just watched Noel's empath video😳 like right before this one
can they actually make this a movie i’m losing it on how interesting this lore is
ESPECIALLY if my queen Kathy Bates is in it
I lowkey want them to make this a real movie
Love that he was just focusing on how many arms she has instead of why she has knives
I have catastrophic memory loss so "so little time" made me belly laugh, presumably for a second time, because I watched this when it came out lol
I'm just so happy that Cathy Bates decided to do these ads. This is a great way to get 2022 started. I actually play a lot of these types of games to wind down while watching something, and it's surprising that I've never actually SEEN a Merge Mansion ad anywhere but Danny's videos. If I didn't already download like four matching/hidden object games right now, I'd probably get this one just to see how weird it gets.
do you have any recommendations for these type of games?
I just realized that I've never seen one of these ads except Danny's videos either 🤔
@@KikiChan_007 lucky 😭 I get them all the time
I wonder how much money they had to give to Kathy to do these ads
There's not much there, it's good for mindless gameplay but you always have to keep updating for the different seasonal games and they don't give you the option not to :/
"What's grandma hiding?"
"WELL OBVIOUSLY NOT KNIFES" LMAOOOOO 😭😭😭
I’m surprised there wasn’t a sledgehammer in the shed
Grandma having all those knives was... *overkill*
“So many knives”
“But so little time”
It’s such a confusing interaction but it’s so hilarious
7:25 just stop
I HAD SEEN the live action pie one a few days ago! Watching ads on a mobile game to get free things, and then it hit me. It confused me so hard.
ALSO: for that last animated ad, grandma put a file into the pie she was baking. Then it seems like she got arrested later that same day, and asked that the pie be brought to her while she was in jail. She knew she was going to get arrested, and baked a pie beforehand with her escape plan. Idk how Danny didn't get that
EDIT: Sorry !! I was just surprised that he wrote it off so quickly, since this was Grandma's first appearance in actual jail. He just said it was boring, which is understandable after having gone through the live action ones that are much more exciting. But there was still something there!
i also didn't get that
I was about to post a comment like this but I had to look for to see if there is already one first
@@paushzinn1517 Same thought process here too
Yeah I completely missed that too
THAT'S FUCKING GENINUES!!
Lmbo!! Danny you made me laugh all the way through this entire video until I couldn't breath 🤣😂
lmbo lmao
I don't know why, but the fact that Danny doesn't know the meaning of the word "mortified" and seems convinced that it is related to someone being horrified makes me giggle every time
idk why but that's like my biggest pet peeve and it's so insignificant lol
@@kayleedegroat I hate it when people pronounce it "in-TRIST-ing" and not "in-TER-esting". "conf-TER-ble" instead of "com-FORT-able" does it too. We all got our things haha
@@BoyProdigyX”lichruhlly” instead of literally
Making the ads live action immerses you into the lore even further lol
There should be an iceberg
My theory is that the box has the words” made with love and secrets”
Maybe the people were horrified at the secrets words. She then opens the box and they are all screaming. I think it’s a head. Maybe the granddaughter gathered her grandma’s old friends to show them what she send from prison. When the people see it they are shocked cuz the trauma of having a horrifying and sociopath friend made them scared. They then see a head and maybe it had the words-“ ur next” making them scared. The grandma is behind them now? So I think she escaped and the friends are all scared at seeing grandma from jail to back in normal society
omg I love your pfp komasan and komajiro are my favouritessss
To bad the game isn’t really about the lore
There is such a solid community with these games, honestly. My mom has a whole Bridge Club-esqu group of international friends she's in the same team/clan as on _June's Journey,_ chatting on their Facebook group ALL the time. It's actually been really comforting for her during the pandemic. she personally never spent a DIME on free-to-play games, but other people definitely have and their ad revenue must be HUGE.
I can see how games like this have their own profitable demographic.
This probably sounds like an ad, but it's not I swear.
PLS my mom loves june’s journey too😭
I also entered a June's journey group during the pandemic, we talk a lot there and it's great!
anything that gives boomers a sense of community without falling down a conspiracy cult rabbit hole is a good thing imo
June's journey is cute tho
Whats Ethala hiding? 🤫😬🤨
Watched this whole video amd at the end a merge mansion ad started playing. Just perfect
Either the Grandma is building an army, is a murderer who secretly has 100 arms, or she eats the knives for fuel
I was kinda into that game in past and the knife shed is actually kinda funny inside joke :D It's one of the first items mergable, so you mostly have full inventory of knives waiting for more energy to merge them
OHHHH
When danny did the last merge mansion video i downloaded it as a joke and at some point it started religiously playing it so i genuinely laughed when the garage was full of green knives since In the game merging items is most of the gameplay and knives are one of the lower ranked items so you tend to have a lot of them.
And if you combine two knives you get a rake haha
Wait that's actually genius marketing then
so the ad is. actually good marketing.
ah someone already said that. oh well
Him: *watching their game*
Them: "Lets go!"
Him: "I HATE IT"
Them: *...*
I got the exact same ad as the “grandma getaway” as you were talking about that ad.
You can tell that this is his second channel by the tattoos, main channel Danny doesn’t have tattoos, everyone knows that
Are they new?? I have literally never seen them before now
finally no one was saying anything
@@macapaxx They have to be. I'm just not sure if they're real or not? They don't really seem to fit his personality
I’ve been trying to figure out wtf they are cause they don’t look like tattoos to me but I don’t know what else they’d be
@@syd5380 he did a sponsor a few weeks ago about fake tattoos so i’d assume that’s what he has haha
seeing danny give a handy to the nutcracker is not something i ever thought i would witness
chekhov’s nutcracker… it was bound to happen sooner or later
Its scary because its canonically actually a person that you can only see with the tac visor

Plot twist: grandma is actually just a chef but she’s really secretive about it. The knives are for cooking.
I love that even the shovel is knitted XD
They need to give their marketing team a raise, a vacation and their first born children. They know what they are doing. I’m not gonna lie… I’m invested even though I’m still not sure what the game is about.
Oh it your average crappy candy crush rip-off with a bit of homescapes
It looks like Kathy Bates had loads of fun with this. It's honestly a blast to watch.
i remember seeing these ads and thinking “wtf”
In his videos, all i can pay attention to is the poster of him drinking water in the background.
dude thats an inhaler
Just btw as someone who has played merge mansion for years now, the whole mystery thing is pretty much a lie. Even if you wanted to get to the ‘secret’ areas, you would need to get to level 43, which is literally impossible at this point in the game. I have absolutely ran out of things to do in the game, and need over 50,000 more XP to get to the next unlock-able area.
Overall it’s a pretty good game, with nice events and a variety of options to merge. But if you’re just looking to find out what the hell ‘grandma is hiding’ then you’re out of luck.
I like it the way it is. They started making those special events, which helps level up faster. There was a Halloween one, a butterfly one, a Christmas one and now there's a strong one. I'm getting loads of XP from that.
Yyyyyep
Yup
Random but I like your pfp
Merge mansion pro!
8:37 I don't know if it's intentional but the fact she's knitting something yellow is kind of concerning when you notice that she isn't wearing anything yellow but the granddaughter is
ooooh
That's what I thought too
Idk if they intended that but damn you made it way more interesting
Oooh. Great catch!
I don't understand what you're getting at
This may sound weird but as someone whose watched a lot of murder mystery and true crime - disposing of the knives when she’s done with them so if anyone inspects her home they won’t find bloodied knives with any remnant of blood (you can use certain things to see if blood has been on something that’s been cleaned recently) in her possession
This is crazy because now they have PEDRO PASCAL in their ads😭
Merge mansion is becoming what Lily's garden could never
First they had better animation, and now they've gone live action!
I love those ads it’s so good I always enjoy watching the full ad
I love how danny just knows random words and doesnt understand what they mean
The fact that they had to make an actual grandma decoy for the add is both amazing and terrifying
