Rewatching this reveals to me that Griffin is obviously reading off a script for his review but recites the entire Pokerap from memory. That's amazing.
Griffin is literally the best man on the internet. "I may not be open minded about this, but I can have an open mouth" *proceeds to insert pikachu into his mouth*... and THEN POKEMON RAP
I was once mis-attributed as saying Pikachu was my favorite Pokemon in an article for my local newspaper when I was a child. It made me very upset. Gengar is the best Pokemon.
I caught myself clapping after Griffin said "thank you" but I stopped because I realized that he could not hear me clapping but it was still a very good performance
Pigeon Forge used to have some well-stocked video arcades when my family visited there in the 1990. The only Alien vs. Predator arcade cabinet I've ever seen IRL was at a laser tag center in Pigeon Forge.
Man Griffin really didn't pull his punches this week. We've come a long way from the soft days of Griffin's Goofers and personally I couldn't be happier.
i went to the amiibo section at the store, looked and some and thought to myself "i can't wait to see griffin put that into his mouth" what does that mean for me?
I'm sorry to announce this will be my first negative review of an episode of Griffin's amiibo Corner. Nothing personal Griffin, but there are many other who deserve the time of those interested in Nintendo Toys. Griffin's performance of the pokérap was middling at best and the size of his mouth is of course outclassed by his older brother Justin whose mouth diameter is of course more than 25% larger than Griffin's. Why Griffin got to review amiibos before Justin I will never understand.
+AlmostSwedish I have to agree with this, Justin could easily fit the amiibo's Griffin struggles with, I want to see a real american mouth not this hogwash.
I just realized if Nintendo made a Gengar amiibo and sold it at Hot Topic and maybe Spencer's in my local mall they'd make a killing no need to even distribute it further than that im pretty sure my friend Justin would buy every single one of them that dude loves the gengar cant get enough of that guy
I am a little upset with Derek's family's obsession with what is essentially a mediocre vacation spot. Factoring in restaurant quality and park attractions, I have compiled a list of superior destinations: Chattanooga, Fall Creek Falls State Park, and Memphis.
Rewatching this series and it is wonderful that Polygon's youtube has no fewer than two separate recitations of the Pokerap (one original, one Perfect).
Griffin as a long-time viewer I am very disappointed that you haven't revived the "Griffin's Goofers" segment. The response to the first one was mostly positive but you seem to have ignored the feedback in favor of yet another predictable, straightforward review. I thought the "goofers" were hilarious and a great way to add variety to the show. I really hope you reconsider because I am seriously considering unsubscribing.
+BiggNife I have to say that while I agree that the reaction to Griffin's Goofers was positive, please remember that Griffin wanted to keep this show INFORMATIVE for the public. For example, the rap at the end of today's episode was both entertaining AND informative, since it listed the first 150 Pokemon! I hope you do not unsubscribe because I think a true fan would know that this show about teaching about Amiibos and their mouthfeels is educational first and foremost, not just a funny youtube channel for chuckles.
This man is the sole reason why there is choking hazard labels. Edit : Wow, thanks for the Gold, guys. Edit : Wow I'm so popular because of this UA-cam comment, ratio'd Edit : Wow I love this UA-cam better than Twitter and Reddit.. wait.. am I on?... uh oh....
That's why I watch this series. Griffin is never afraid to take the unpopular stance. Integrity in journalism. Take that electric mouse to task Griffin.
This amazing boy runs four podcasts, composes original music, is an accomplished writer and editor for videos and articles alike. He was named one of Forbes’ “30 Under 30” Media Luminaries, and has a wonderful family of his own.
Yes, but a lot of people don't care about stats. Also Pikachu is the one of the only smash bros characters that are Pokémon. The whole first wave of Amiibo are smash characters.
Dude when I was a little kid Raichu was my absolute favourite, and I drew pictures of it violently dismembering Pikachu?? I'm glad you share my feelings
"anyway, here's the whole pokerap"
Best 5 minutes of my life
You predicted the most recent unraveled
And he's completely deadpan the entire god damn time. That's by far the most impressive part of this entire series.
@@janesmith1840 When he got to the last 7 he thought of the song and broke a little bit.
The sound your microphone makes when you set it down is my favorite secondary feature of this series.
+Brad Greer I was just about to write the exact same thing.
+Brad Greer *PLONK*
you'd love gabber music
*BOONG*
Same 😂

"I don't choose you" but he chews him
Griffin is literally the best man on the internet. "I may not be open minded about this, but I can have an open mouth" *proceeds to insert pikachu into his mouth*... and THEN POKEMON RAP
AGREED😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
This is some bootleg back alley ASMR, I gotta stop buying my ASMR on the street.
I really love how he intentionally holds the mic wrong so that it peaks constantly and makes it so half of the audio is just static. Can't get enough
watch it in 144p for full effect
Marcus Privitt this really sell the whole thing for me tbh
"a small boy in a pokemon suit" griffin predicted mimikyu
Careful Griffin, you were almost on beat a couple times
I was once mis-attributed as saying Pikachu was my favorite Pokemon in an article for my local newspaper when I was a child. It made me very upset. Gengar is the best Pokemon.
you have very good taste, and i would have been upset too
that’s horrific i’m so sorry
i love the "bonk" sound when you put the mic down
This is just an excuse for Griffin to have a vore video series on polygon
+Hoopsicle Mcgee Holy shit i didn't realize that was the joke until now.
+Hoopsicle Mcgee Big Gulp never panned out, so this is the best he can do
+Hoopsicle Mcgee VORE MORE YEARS!!!
That's a premium swallow!
Justin has a show where he eats food from Sheetz, maybe Griffin felt a bit left out?
I caught myself clapping after Griffin said "thank you" but I stopped because I realized that he could not hear me clapping but it was still a very good performance
I love the "clunk" when Griffin drops the mic to shove the Amiibo in his mouth.
great job on the pokerap griffin you got them all right
I hope Derek has a nice time in Gatlinburg it's okay there not too exciting.
+hcjustin I agree Pigeon Forge is way cooler.
+hcjustin Thanks for the introduction to this corner of the internet, Amiibo boy is my favorite
Pigeon Forge used to have some well-stocked video arcades when my family visited there in the 1990. The only Alien vs. Predator arcade cabinet I've ever seen IRL was at a laser tag center in Pigeon Forge.
See, that place is magical!
jyoungAD both of those places are extremely touristy... it grossed me out when i was hiking in the smokys
Man Griffin really didn't pull his punches this week. We've come a long way from the soft days of Griffin's Goofers and personally I couldn't be happier.
This review was tough but fair.
Griffin's pokérap walked so Brian's pokérap could run
Griffin McElroy: Anyway here's the whole pokerap
BDG: But is it a gusamtkunstwerk?
i went to the amiibo section at the store, looked and some and thought to myself "i can't wait to see griffin put that into his mouth" what does that mean for me?
+KT Nelson It means you're going places, my friend! :D
I appreciate your honestly Griffin. Most people aren't willing to speak up about the mediocrity of that cute little yellow electric mouse.
I'm sorry to announce this will be my first negative review of an episode of Griffin's amiibo Corner. Nothing personal Griffin, but there are many other who deserve the time of those interested in Nintendo Toys.

+AlmostSwedish Maybe if Justin didn't sell out to Big Sheetz so early he would have more opportunities to do passionate, indie projects like this one.
+AlmostSwedish I have to agree with this, Justin could easily fit the amiibo's Griffin struggles with, I want to see a real american mouth not this hogwash.
WHY DOES JUSTIN, THE LARGEST BOY, NOT SIMPLY EAT THE OTHER TWO?
@@Fralexion NOW you're Thinkin like Griffin
So proud of you for naming all of them. I hope your best friend comes back from Gatlinburg soon.
i never get prepared for the pokerap because he just goes straight into it without any warning whatsoever
griffin i don't think you blinked once while singing the song
He did
Y’all just blinked in sync
I just realized if Nintendo made a Gengar amiibo and sold it at Hot Topic and maybe Spencer's in my local mall they'd make a killing no need to even distribute it further than that im pretty sure my friend Justin would buy every single one of them that dude loves the gengar cant get enough of that guy
TieTuesday your buds got the best taste in ghost pokemon.
Ha, 'Taste.'
gengar is a Handsome Mischief Boy
forbes has declared this man a media luminary and i cannot fault their logic
the dead look in his eyes while doing the poke rap just sells it
I don't know what he sets that microphone on to make that hilarious 'bonk' noise, but I appreciate that detail so much.
this makes it seem like it is not a pikachu at all, but a small boy in a pikachu suit
So Griffin attempted to eat a small boy.
Good job Griffin, you sweet sweet boy.
'I may not have an open mind about this amiibo, but I can still have an open mouth.'

Griffin's Amiibo Corner - Episode 6: Griffin loses his will to live from Pikachu
Griffin's Pokemon rap walked so that Brian's could run
I love how he sang the whole song but just shook his head when Pikachu came up xD
I am a little upset with Derek's family's obsession with what is essentially a mediocre vacation spot. Factoring in restaurant quality and park attractions, I have compiled a list of superior destinations: Chattanooga, Fall Creek Falls State Park, and Memphis.
We DO have the National Civil Rights Museum, Beale Street, and Graceland. So I guess Memphis is an okay tourist destination.
fall creek falls state park was boring in my humble opinion. a lot of trees. would recommend chattanooga. it has an aquarium.
avi We have the BEST aquarium
"Anyway heres the whole pokerap"
griffin should do another version with brian's perfect pokerap
I know Amiibo corner gets real, but this got TOO REAL.
I forgot why this video was longer than most amiibo corners, then I realized
Rewatching this series and it is wonderful that Polygon's youtube has no fewer than two separate recitations of the Pokerap (one original, one Perfect).
Please put this on iTunes so you can win the Grammy next year. Unless you think the world is not ready for such mad rapping skills.
watching this at midnight and i feel like i'm in the process of being cursed right now
3:00 he can’t even bring himself to say Pikachu again
really impressed by the lack of rhythm griffin displays here
This Griffin makes me highly uncomfortable and yet here I am watching the entire series nonstop
Hearing the original PokéRap after hearing the Perfect PokéRap is awful
i love that since this was posted griffin’s antipathy for pikachu hasn’t changed at all
tip to t....fuck, I can't do it anymore.
+Kenneth Andrews thank fuck for that
"Who did these paint lines? The painting Pokemon SMEARgol?"
Pikachu is by far the best Digimon
Ainsley why are you here, I thought Pewds killed you a while ago
A Griffin's Amiibo Corner reboot but it's just this episode and nothing changes except Griffin recites Brian's perfect pokerap instead
4 years later and this is still the height of video game journalism.

Oh god it’s th “pikachu bad because stats” guy. Griffin was the chosen one.
I HATE that I automatically think about wether or not the amiibo will fit as soon as I see it in every episode Griffin why have you done this to me
Content ID'd. Too perfect.
I want to see a new version of this with the PERFECT POKERAP
i need a remake with the perfect version of the pokerap.
the prequel to the latest unraveled
This is a tough but fair review. I appreciate that you aren't afraid to tell us how you really feel!
Griffin you fool you can double pikachus offensive stats with a light ball! should have done your homework!
griffin walked so bdg could run
*slaps Griffin's cheeks*
This bad boy can fit so many amiibos in it
I started watching this earlier today then I put up my phone.
Now it’s almost 10 hours later and I see 1:58
"Gloooom!"
this is my favorite episode. keep up the great work, Griffin
Look who rapped them all. That's right, it's you, Griffin.
Now i see where bdg took inspiration from
I've been waiting all week for this.
this is someone’s father
That's why I watch this series. Griffin is never afraid to take the unpopular stance. Integrity in journalism. Take that electric mouse to task Griffin.
2:04 I Know This Song
So when can we be expecting the Pokerap cover to be on iTunes?
I'm gonna get my friends into TAZ but before i do I'm gonna have to show them this and they'll have to know THIS man has made me cry real tears
I was very impressed by his ability to have no consistent rhythm during the pokerap and yet somehow not fall behind
The choking buddy is no longer present???
"Anyway here's the whole poke rap" why am I so invested in this series 4 years after its release?
I thought this series was already perfect, but then BOOM, this episode takes it to the next level. Griffin, you're a genius.
also i like how you pretty obviously memorized the full rap. it shows dedication
I prefer Raichu as well. Not just in terms of power, but also, aesthetically.
Is anyone watching this again after seeing BDG’S perfect pokerap
what an informative, professional series here on the Polygon youtube channel
I just, I love knowing that one day Griffin's son will come across these videos. You're someone's dad.
Thank you for performing the Pokemon rap Griffin, this was such a great episode
This is the best acting I have ever seen ever, and I have nothing else to say about it.
The only UA-cam review show worth watching.
This amazing boy runs four podcasts, composes original music, is an accomplished writer and editor for videos and articles alike. He was named one of Forbes’ “30 Under 30” Media Luminaries, and has a wonderful family of his own.
Watching this at 2x speed is the correct way
I'm... like, powerfully attracted to you right now.
Thiefree well it’s been three years, what does your life look like now
Kata C Thiefree please tell us.. we have to know
Hey
hey op we need an update
@@katac7286 lmao I'm dating a nerd, can anyone honestly say they're surprised
Yes, but a lot of people don't care about stats. Also Pikachu is the one of the only smash bros characters that are Pokémon. The whole first wave of Amiibo are smash characters.
*****
Yep. And I am not ashamed.
the internet is forever, Griffin.
This is by far the most beautiful singing in all of polygon
I thought he said "Average Base Dads"
He is a gift to humanity.
Dude when I was a little kid Raichu was my absolute favourite, and I drew pictures of it violently dismembering Pikachu?? I'm glad you share my feelings
probably my favorite amiibo corner ever!
