There's something I love about imagining the supposedly best pool player winning everything by the opponents fouling the 8-ball and them be like "Wow you really are the best, Fats"
@@fuzzyotterpaws4395 Long story short: You gotta score all of your attributed balls, THEN the black 8 ball (always using your stick to strike the white ball). Scoring the 8 ball as you still have some of your balls in play is a foul and you simply lose. (despite pool having quite a few variants, it's one of the baseline rules) So winning because your opponent had bad luck and/or didn't see that the 8 ball was at risk of getting scored too early isn't really a "skill" victory, being congratulated and called an ace for that is kinda silly. (Edit: I didn't watch before I answered, so I didn't know it used the called shot rule, which is even more hilarious. Basically you have to say in which hole you'll get the 8 ball when you get to score it. If it gets in the wrong hole, you loose, plain and simple.)
@@fuzzyotterpaws4395 - In a game of 8-Ball, which is what they're playing, one player has to sink the striped balls and the other player has to sink the solid-colored balls, all the while, both players have to avoid the 8-ball for last. As long as you're sinking the proper balls, your turn continues. Miss, and it's the other player's turn. Sink the 8-ball before you have sunk all your other balls, you foul and you lose. When you have sunk all of your designated balls, you have to sink the 8-ball, but you have to "call your shot;" say which pocket on the table you are planning to hit the 8-ball into. If you miss the shot, it's the other player's turn. If the ball goes into the "wrong" pocket, you foul and lose.
FMV games are very very special things, and everyone should play at least one in their life. they were amazing back in the day, and now they're a blast to replay because they've aged so hilariously.
@@kuno_ichi More realistically, they were cheesy and funny for their mediocre-to-low quality back in the day in context of the hype, and now that no one is trying to sell them, we can acknowledge how truly awful they are.
Dan's reactions to games are now just "I think I love this" or "I think I hate this." Also the soundtrack to this 28 year old pool game is a bop and I'm vibing rn

I Cant stop laughing lmao in 21:27-33 Arin says "you can make two good holes" and the music did a jazzy fail sound and I cant believe they missed it lmao 🤣🤣
11:40 My parakeet Lemon Pledge heard Arin's musical trill through my headphones and he immediately stopped eating his favorite treat just to listen and stare with full intent.
@@sap9255 Yes, awful. Games in the 1990s weren't any worse than they are today, but the bad ones were vast in number with the explosion of mayfly studios and no one knowing exactly what was going to make money. FMV games like this are mostly laughably terrible; the question is whether you have the courage to laugh or the cowardice to pretend they're good
The boys' joke about Big G being caring and supportive of his female friends, and wanting them to chase their dreams, is such a fucking funny swerve on the "old-timey gambler/hustler" character archetype. It absolutely killed me.
I just looked up “Minnesota Fats”, apparently he was a fictional character in a novel and movie called “The Hustler”, and a real life person eventually took on the name. Fascinating stuff, though I can’t help but think of that one Twilight Zone episode where some guy wanted to play a game of pool against the previous best pool player, who’s nickname was also “Fats”.
Possibly, he was pretty angry about her death and loved making the Wendy's jokes and the "WTH is goin on?". He wore a Chiaki shirt during a 10MPH episode, though. It's either her or Chiaki
In case anyone is wondering, the female voice Arin was doing IS a character from SNL. It's Vanessa Bayer playing a high school student named Laura Parsons.
It reminded me moreso of a Kristin Wig character. Can't remember the name, but she was essentially a washed up Broadway actress who was on the 'Say That Answer' games and was quite bad at not saying the answer.
It's actually a secret character that very few know and I'm not allowed to explain. Pathetic, the commoners in this thread................ someday you may earn your GG Triple Black card and learn of such things......
This was probably my favorite episode of GG in awhile. I was laughing so hard. I love this game and glad they will do another episode. I think some indie dev needs to make a new FMV pool game.
The voice that Arin said “isn’t there an SNL character like that?” about is a voice type used by Vanessa Bayer for various sketch characters, I recognized it before he even commented on it
The most solids thing about this game was how it supplemented the fact that 1995 Los Angeles only had four skyscrapers with an upbeat and straight up absolute Paula Abdul-esque banger of a pool game soundtrack.
Omg the thumbnail reminds me when you guys played the Harvester game 😂 the quality of the game looks just like it lol. Your guys voice acting is hilarious 😂
At 6:24 it got me thinking, Game Grumps, what if you did Movie Grumps and just commented on movies like the Mystery Science Theater 3000. I know I'd watch that.
Congratulations you are the one we want to steal data or/and scam you for you money... Hmm no thank you. Lol. And The legend has began indeed Micah Philson 😊
Well this is a future Game Grumps compilation darling if ever I saw one! Something about pool games always brings out the funny with these two, the FMVs add the icing to the cake this was hilarious and I can't wait to see the next one!
These performances are reminiscent of local used car dealership commercials, my dad's reenactment of Goodfellas, and more recently Harvester. I LOVE IT!
Congratulations we have selected u for your data and/or money so we can steal from you. Lol Also I feel ya Mathew Bullon it's bad and good at the same time. Yet both elements are entertaining.
The music in this game is legit good. Like damn! I don't think I've ever just jammed out more to a Grumps episode before. Also, you guys are thinking about basically ANY Vanessa Bayer character
Fun fact: David Nowlin, the narrator of that intro, is now the voice of Sam in the Sam and Max games!
What is this, a crossover episode?
Came here to say this exact thing.
Related to your username: "It looks like we're gonna have to jump!"
Yo really?! That's incredible given their timing of Sam & Max's road trip. Thanks for sharing!
That is a fun fact!

it’s how i won my first (irl) game of pool at a bar, supposedly against a local shark lol
I... Have NO idea how Pool works at all so I'm EXTREMELY confused 🤣

21:27 The comedic timing of Arin's awkward speech, then the music getting wonky, then Dan's "What?" is SO PERFECT
this needs more likes lmao
damn that is comedic timing
Holy shit how'd I miss that. Incredible 😂😂😂
Sobbing
the only time Arin has ever ACCIDENTALLY complimented Danny's holes
I’m so glad I’m not the only one who noticed! 😂
Dan screaming "I'm gonna lose 2 million dollars!!" It just feels so appropriate
25:51 for anyone else who wants it on repeat
Glad to see Arin's trademarked "check this shit out, watch this" is still making magic
I love everything about this: the corny acting, the cheesy music, Dan's East Coast gangster impression. The 90's were a goofy, magical time.
How the Western gaming industry survived the era of FMV is still a mystery to me lmao
Sega's blast processing was used for Pool FMVs. What a time.
I disagree I think the music is legitimately good.
90s FMV games are a lost art.
After Harvester, this kind of style of thumbnail now triggers some kind of neural response that makes me immediatly happy. Thank you guys.
Gives you that good brain juice, eh?
FMV games are amazing for video content
You just need some quality time with the boys.
FMV games are very very special things, and everyone should play at least one in their life. they were amazing back in the day, and now they're a blast to replay because they've aged so hilariously.

Minnesota Fats is apparently the Ash Ketchum of the pool community.
He doesn’t win, his opponents just hand him the victory.
And when he loses for the first time he has a BSOD moment.
Dan's reactions to games are now just "I think I love this" or "I think I hate this."
Also the soundtrack to this 28 year old pool game is a bop and I'm vibing rn
I feel like the sound designer was just super into smooth jazz and said, _"Fuck it, nobody's gonna play this anyway. I'mma just do what I want."_

The "You got it Mistah G" bit killed me
I kept hoping he'd call him Puddin'. 🤣

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAN! I hope the cutscenes are as terrible and hilarious as the ones in Harvester
They’re so bad that they’re good
AAA I have no idea if you’re seeing this on your birthday or maybe months later but HAPPY BIRTHDAY
Happy Birthday Mr. D----Ohh nvm. Love you Daisy and I hope your birthday is great, Dinah.

Lemon Pledge is an excellent name, thank you for sharing.
the way the ball collisions line up with the music at 13:22 soothes my soul
Oh that scratches the right part of my brain. Thank you 😊
And 15:37. So good
Hot damn that first beat playing during the pool gameplay is smooth as hell. Gotta love that era of music.
Good old Sonic casino music

"if you want things done right, you gotta touch bellies with a friend"
Underrated GG quote of the day
So proud of Jenny and her musical accomplishments 🤧🤧
Booooop!
For some reason, this is my favorite kind of GG thing to watch
it’s one of those special hits you think you’ll never witness watching as it’s uploaded again
Game Grumps MST3K is my favorite kind of episode.
"10 days later" killed me. He's still playing pool after 10 days!
I’m convinced if I didn’t watch GG, I would never be aware of certain games’ existence.
Same tho, half their library I’ve never even heard of
I love that they turned every character in this into either Edward G. Robinson or Harley Quinn
This is just episode one too! We get more of this beauty! Hell yes!
Exactly! But I... Have NO idea how Pool works at all so I'm EXTREMELY confused 🤣
This and Scott the woz
20:55 that distant "NOOOOOOO!" is so perfect
A classic “check this out” moment from Arin 😂

@@EJN64 I mean, I figured it wasn’t someone’s actual given name, but I was still curious.
There's also Judge Reinhold
@@EJN64 like the Phantom, or the Green Lantern.
Lol, I found that too. I looked it up shortly after I started the video and was confused when it said he was a fictional character.
Happy birthday, Dan! Also happy birthday to Arin's favorite Danganronpa character, Chiaki!
Maybe a birthday kiss?
Arins favorite character was Mahiru thou
Possibly, he was pretty angry about her death and loved making the Wendy's jokes and the "WTH is goin on?". He wore a Chiaki shirt during a 10MPH episode, though. It's either her or Chiaki
I thought you were gonna say "Also happy birthday to Arin's favorite Danganronpa character, Dan"
Sonic?
Nothing like watching Game Grumps over spring break
Feels 😎
@@Donttrustthatburger5144Top pipe then go back with 🍄
It doesn't feel like Spring in California.
You already have spring break?
mine starts after this week you bet im gonna spend a lot of it watching them
Challenged to a game "you're easy cash," immediately the boys are like "Are we friends? I think this is friendly practice."
Lady: I’m gonna beat your ass for coming to fight
The boys: Oh we’re friends :)
If a punk lady in a pool hall told me she was gonna kick my ass, I would also react positively
So glad Jenny could afford that new double bass she always wanted thanks to Arin blowing a 2 million dollar game of pool.
A 2 million dollar double bass! I am picturing a bass version of the holophoner from Futurama
But Danny was playing. Arin only played the first game. 🤔
The acting for this can be added into the greatest of all times including:
"Garbage day!"
"I'd like a very HOT!"
"But ya didn't!"
and more
Holy fucking shit. I’m dying at work from this… just the opening cutscenes
Supportive Big G is my new favorite Grumps character.
Harvester and Roundabout vibes. These games are always so weird, but enjoyable to watch.
These games are my absolute favorites this one as well.
I hope they pick up Roundabout again; sounded like they really enjoyed it.
@@lyleschlegel3184 That the driving game?
It’s just an FMV game
Could we... continue on with this? This game is delightful.

It's always a good day when we get a grumps pool game episode
This game is a certified banger
This episode is an instant classic

These are the episodes I love, a game nobody has ever heard of yet you guys make it hilarious.
retsupurae was already doing that for years. highly recommend their vids
when youre at 7:28 before any gameplay happens, you know its a good episode
I adore episodes like these where they're having goofy fun with a game
21:25 the way the music falls right before Danny says "...What?" 😂
Diabeetus: "Are you sure we shouldn't switch nicknames Diamond?"
The narration by Dan over the cutscenes and the intro is comedy gold
12:23 for the next “arin hanson “check this out”” compilation 😂
12:20 “Yeah, I’m f*cking Minnesota Fats dude.” - Arin 2023
12:22
Marking this for the next "Arin's incredible self-confidence gets tested" compilation.
It's weird to write fan fiction about real people
Man something about you guys laughing is so infectious it cheers me up so much even at the worst times
Is it me, or is Dan getting as quick-witted with his jokes as Arin?
Hes definitely gotten alot more confident over the years, its a good thing to see honestly
He was really on his A-game this episode
I desperately need a compilation of Arin and Danny’s impression of Diamond 😂😂😂 this is my favourite voice to ever exist
YESSSSSS the most underrated FMV game of the 90s
20:00 yes, arin, that was a go to voice that Vanessa Bayer did anytime she was playing a teenager
You can tell Fats had the time of his life acting those cutscenes.
Greatest episode of game grumps I've ever seen! Truly a masterpiece. Thank you to everyone who put this together.
Arin’s burp timing perfectly with the music at 21:43 gives me life
When Arin said “Tasty” at
10:00 I can’t help but think of Rengoku

Ah, I haven't seen this game since the ol' Retsupurae days. A classic!
As a Minnestoa gal. This made me smile like an idiot!

"Confused but he's got the spirit" Mr. G supporting Jenny's bass career is such a good bit 😂
27:00 Somebody let Danny know: the first ball you make contact with has to be on your team, or it's a scratch!
I freaking love Danny's cheerleading for this game; it's so genuine and uplifting!
How many people can say that they've played Mario Party with an Oscar winner? These two can now.
as someone from Minnesota, the cutscenes are very true to life here
This was really one of the funniest eps. Who thought losing your son to your rival could be so fun!!?
Just love when the Grumps play FMV games. This game, Mad Dog McCree, Voyeur, Night Trap of course...but my favorite is probably Roundabout.
