This episode is fascinatingly off the cuff. It starts basically without an intro, Arin's audio dies at one point, everything crashes and we randomly play a few minutes of Chelnov which starts off with a blurry screen
@@KairuHakubi it was literally just a palette swap. Requires absolutely no more work than changing the pant colors. Even Street Fighter had the courtesy to give Ken a unique head.
As a citizen of the Gubble nation, I wholeheartedly agree. 😐I'm pretty sure this time for real is real. This time is it, this done, we're everywhere... How many times?
My friends and I have used "Are you a bad enough dude to ___?" as a joke reference for so long, it's almost surreal to see the Grumps play the game that spawned it all. I always knew they were bad enough dudes. So great to see it confirmed.
Oh come on now don't pretend you were even alive when Reagan was president and know what he was like. Say what one wants about his policies, but he wasn't that type of guy.
I love that they found the same motion with these characters as they did with the Kirby characters; that slight upwards nod that means they can make conversation in between prescribed gameplay.
Holy shit, I have history with this game. A random family camping trip with some friends YEARS ago, and we found some old arcade cabinets... My friend and I dedicated some time to beat this game. 10/10 worth it. I never thought I'd see it again.
Was this in Jackson Springs, NC? I remember playing this at a campground there in the mid 90s. But I used to see it at most of the local arcades when I was a kid.
Ninja Brian: Little did you know, the president was actually yours truly for the entire preceding game, but of course I knew, as I was the president, and I also have a PhD
Why don't the current editors add explanations on screen whenever there are audio/video issues like the old editors did? I'm here trying to figure out if something got effed up on my end 😂
2:56 Fun Fact! The thing Arin is talking about in Final Fight is really interesting to me. In the initial American release of Final Fight thhey replaced two female characters, Poison and Roxy, with male characters. However, in games released after this, Poison and Roxy were both girls. This led to the belief that they were both transgender. It's semi-canon and was initially somewhat transphobic but has since turned around. Poison is immensely popular and was later added to a whole bunch of Street Fighter games which makes her probably one of the first transgender characters in a mainstream video game! I just think it's neat.
6:06 How did they not break out into: "I'm a dude. He's a dude. She's a dude. WE'RE ALL DUDES YEAH!"? Like, anyone else from the late 80s/90s generation remember that?
When I was a kid (1989, I was 9 ) a convienece store/diner near my Grandma's house had this game and stopping in there for lunch and Bad Dudes was one of my favorite parts of visiting her. Usually followed by a trip to the comic store. Really the kinda game I love strictly on nostalgia. Even the NES version, cuz back then if you managed to get a new game, that's all you had. lol
you people should be ashamed a true patriot will rescue the president whether he's awesome like reagan or okay-to-terrible like literally everyone since, because he's the president. and once rescued, now _he owes you a favor._
@@KairuHakubi Regan was already senile at this point and wasn't even running the administration. Kidnapping him wouldn't even have changed anything as Bush would just take over officially. Also Reagan was a neolib who, shipped American jobs overseas, destroyed America's farming families, and left our cities to rot in a decade long crime wave while helping the rich loot the working class but got away with it because Americans just saw a TV star and never looked at what he actually did.
Dan slowly and carefully walking up to an enemy to one hit them while Arin spinkicks around like he's had too much sugar is perfectly indicative of their personalities, I love it.
Man, this was one of my favorite arcade games back in the day. In my hometown - the giant metropolis of Independence, KS - we had a locally owned pizza place called Big Cheese Pizza. They had a decently sized little arcade room inside, and Bad Dudes was the game I wanted to play every time. My sister and I had a blast playing together... such nice memories!!
So we bought an arcade machine with bad dudes on it, and it’s a running joke in our family when something mildly inconveniences us we do the UuuH noise!
for anyone wondering at 24:42 when it cuts at "dragonninja," it gets very quiet and arin says "is trademarked," you just can't hear it because of like an audio glitch or something
These episodes always feel like we're just seeing a glimpse behind the scenes lol like they're not talking to the audience or explaining anything, they're just chilling and having a good time lol
@Omen Masters Was this game really well known? It's a couple years before my time, but I'd still never seen it until that one time I found a cabinet. For the past 7 years I thought it was some random hidden gem,
Correction: Karnov was an arcade game that came out in 1987. The NES game was an adaptation of that which came out later. So this was not his first appearance. Correction #2: World Heroes was not made by Data East, but Alpha Denshi (ADK). The game that Arin is likely thinking of is Fighter's History (which also featured Karnov).
The European version (DragonNinja) arcade cabinet was a fixture at a holiday camp our school went to regularly. Shoutout to the Welsh kids who went to Llangrannog and played this!
Fun fact: By the time they released this for the NES, they had to change it to President Georgie. I loved this game in the arcades. Could never make it past the 3rd stage.
6:31 The sound effect makes that so much funnier especially right after they just had the conversation about how everyone just gets beat up equally everyone gets a kick right to the face lol
Ok I was not expecting the "Bob Wehadababyitsaboy" commercial to be brought up in GG (or anywhere for that matter), but it's one of those commercials that for some reason just lives rent-free in my head. I'm glad someone else remembers it, too.
I'm disappointed that they started saying that "Everyone's a dude" and somehow didn't start singing "I'm a dude. He's a dude. She's a dude. And we're all dudes! Hey!"
They have 4 different arm poses at the end of each level that seems to be randomly chosen for each arm. Like, there's a RNG running in the background, shuffling through the numbers between 1 and 4 until that final moment. "WE'RE BAD!"
Bad Dudes Vs DragonNinja is the 134th game the Grumps have beaten.
You are doing God's work, my friend
@@JT_Lich came here to say this, you beat me to it. You're also doing god's work.
I wonder what the 135th game that the Grumps have beaten will be?
@@matthewelliott7294 if they continue with Chelnov, maybe that? 😅
I found this as they were saying to put it up. Nice.
I can't believe Brian would attack the President like this
i can
I can with a bazillion percent confidence
Yeah, that's like, the least surprising thing ever.
We all know Brian is a harbinger of death, op was sarcasming.
@@ericanightshade we know man
Perfect Grump moment:
Arin: There are so many ninjas!
Danny: That dog is so cute!
To be fair, this was a perfect Grump game!
Dan: “Anyone else want some of these feet?”
ShowFeetGuy: *swoons*
Literally thought of that right away XD
This episode is fascinatingly off the cuff. It starts basically without an intro, Arin's audio dies at one point, everything crashes and we randomly play a few minutes of Chelnov which starts off with a blurry screen
I want more Grumps like this tbh. Less produced, more "hanging out with a friend"
don’t forget president ronny
And chelnov even includes an Arin perfect comedic timing.
"DUDE I RULE! ... FuCk."
I love how the only variation on the character models is the color of pants
for cambodia. 🇰🇭
Economical programming, or lazy art design? You decide!
Well the only difference between Bimmy and Jimmy was hair color and suit color.
@@Vondy56 okay but that's at least two things, and a complete outfit.
@@KairuHakubi it was literally just a palette swap. Requires absolutely no more work than changing the pant colors. Even Street Fighter had the courtesy to give Ken a unique head.
26:43 Here we discover Arin was a figment of Dan's imagination the whole time.
that’s what i’m saying
Thank you for the time stamp because i actually never noticed it and was confused by all the comments lol
I thought it was the other way around when Dan was sick
Also Jon’s?
This felt like 2016 grumps when they were still grabbing old random shit off the shelf, and im all here for it
As a citizen of the Gubble nation, I wholeheartedly agree.
😐I'm pretty sure this time for real is real. This time is it, this done, we're everywhere... How many times?
???
@@snickle1980 Danny: "You wanna try that again?"
@@snickle1980 You want to try that again?
@borderline Different people enjoy different stuff.
It felt kinda weird how they started the episode just playing the game, without introduction.
Always fun when they play a random fun old game
I had a similar thought lol I'm glad I wasn't the only one who noticed the difference. lol
Reminds me of long ago...
@@crazytornadoe7039 yeah thats just how game grumps used to be lol i love these episodes.
I agree, it was weirdly off-putting!
Pretty sure that was the game demo at the start, there was a blinking "insert coin" clear on the screen
I LOVE when they revisit classic games. They always have a lot more to talk about.
I agree, maybe they'll revisit Dennis the Menace some time in the near future.
@@matthewelliott7294 in that regard they should search for romhacks of the first years games.
i dont think they played this before, am i mistaken?
@borderline exactly
19:21They not only asked "what did her say" in perfect synchronicity. The said it in the exact same tone.
There is so much charm in older games.
Arin and Dan's periods are perfectly aligned
It feels weirder and more improbable with each listen.
I was so confused when Arin's audio just completely dropped for like a minute
I was more confused about the blank screen after everything kinda broke.
Seems like his mic is having problems with cutting out randomly. It did it a lot in Lemmings.
My friends and I have used "Are you a bad enough dude to ___?" as a joke reference for so long, it's almost surreal to see the Grumps play the game that spawned it all. I always knew they were bad enough dudes. So great to see it confirmed.
God this feels like Old Game Grumps I love it. Jokes at the expense of the game, related conversations, funny bits.
I love that stuff.
Well hello.
Arin's laugh at 21:15 could cure cancer.
Baby fall down
Dan absolutely broke me with "baby fall down".
Yes! How cool is that?
THAT laugh is when you can tell Arin is very amused/happy.
ASMR for hearing someone experience joy. 🤣
- Is President of the wealthiest nation on Earth
- Rewards saviors with a hamburger
That DOES sound like Reagan, I must admit.
Or, you know, another recent president.
@@ecosauce420 Oh, shit, that's right. Like, that actually happened. Cripes...
Oh come on now don't pretend you were even alive when Reagan was president and know what he was like. Say what one wants about his policies, but he wasn't that type of guy.
Arin Hanson: Can’t remember they fought evil purple wolverine 10 minutes ago; can remember a 10-10-321 commercial from 20 years ago
I say that commercial all of the time.
I mean that commerical was really fucking popular and played constantly. I must've saw that commerical like 100 times when I was a kid.
26:50 Danny begins to consult the demons in his mind as Arin looks on mortified.
"There's girl ninjas in this?"
"There's girls and dogs!"
Also the girls are the only ones who die laying stomach down, is kinda strange tbh lol
@@LunaProtogen only ninjas who do but the protags fall on their stomachs lol
Ah yes the two genders
Its a very diverse game.
@stonetemplepilot420 that's the comment I came here to make! Well played...
I love return of the "Baby Fall Down" laugh with the final boss; also kinda reminds me of part of Monokuma's theme song.
3:30 TRANSLATION: "These hands are Rated E for Everyone"
I love that they found the same motion with these characters as they did with the Kirby characters; that slight upwards nod that means they can make conversation in between prescribed gameplay.
21:15 that laugh made me spit my Wendy’s shake all over my fucking phone i was not ready for that neither was Arin
Holy shit, I have history with this game. A random family camping trip with some friends YEARS ago, and we found some old arcade cabinets... My friend and I dedicated some time to beat this game. 10/10 worth it. I never thought I'd see it again.

@@Ecufatty yep, it was. I was there too.
@@Ecufatty It wasn't, actually! It was in the thousand islands. Definitely not as early as the 90s either, I'm only 20 haha.
@borderline Bro we promised not to talk about that in public.
Dan: "Anybody else want these feet?!"
Show Feet Guy: 👁️👄👁️
That laugh at 21:14 absolutely killed me. My stomach hurts from laughing
Baby fall down
'baby fall down' had me CRYING
I would've loved If there was a post credit scene where Ronnie's alone in the oval office and pulls out and puts on a ninja mask from his drawer
Only after he's looking at his picture of Sonic the hedgehog and gently caresses the photo with one finger.
Ninja Brian: Little did you know, the president was actually yours truly for the entire preceding game, but of course I knew, as I was the president, and I also have a PhD
@@SpookiCooki then he flips the frame face down because he cant bare sonic seeing him like this
@@JT_Lich ah yes Ninja Ronnie
They did that in the GI Joe movie.
Arin's laugh at around 21:15 has got to end up in a future compilation. 😄
21:13 The boss doing the stoner laugh fucking killed me
Why don't the current editors add explanations on screen whenever there are audio/video issues like the old editors did? I'm here trying to figure out if something got effed up on my end 😂
My question exactly, also they could've added some low cool ninja music like Dan requested bc I can barely hear the game music lol
That "Uhuhuhuh babi fell down" got me 😭
The SFX, the video game itself all just seems like some game you'd see on Regular Show. Just make it 8-bit.
"Nobody beats The Hammer."
@@MrDethskull yes!
Yo I love that show
It's weird that they haven't pointed out that these Bad Dudes are clearly fighting ninjas in Chuck Taylors.

Thanks for sharing! That’s really interesting
i was eating a fig newton at 21:15 and i almost choked from laughing to hard
Weird audio issues at the end where it sounds like Dan is talking to himself
i thought i was going crazy
yeah it’s happening a lot in their recent videos. i wonder why
6:34 Dan: Anyone else want some of these feet?
Show Feet Guy has entered the chat
there's few things in life as delightful as one of Arin's genuine laughs
"Huhuhuh, bebeh fall down." Will always be one of my favorite Grumps stories.
The grumps playing a vintage game? Oh frick yeah.
"What's mine say!?"
"BAD! What's mine say?"
"DUUUDES!!"
Whenever the dudes say "Got it!" all I can hear is CDI Ganon saying "Die!".
I hear it too!
For some reason, I was expecting NSP when Danny asked for "ninja music."
5:01 I snarfed my tea laughing
"If it 'ughs' we can kill it," Dan 2017
The Bad Dudes' high-pitched "Heeeugh!" grunts have me in absolute tears lmao
I love when Arin's audio died and it sounded like Dan was talking to himself. 😂
Grumps playing retro games is my favorite Grumps content. More please!
6:06 How did they not break out into: "I'm a dude. He's a dude. She's a dude. WE'RE ALL DUDES YEAH!"? Like, anyone else from the late 80s/90s generation remember that?
"I don't know where people stand on that these days." They don't. Poison stands on them, and she does it with all three legs.
More like two legs and a tree trunk lol 😏
@@shoken4421 Need a sequel song to "Baby Got Back" called "Girl Got Girth".
@@Pensive_Scarlet haha yup with poison as the lead singer. Though who is gonna be her back up singers?🤔
@@shoken4421 Roxy and a chained up Maki.

"Ninjas have kidnapped Ronald Reagan!"
Oh rad, do they need like, money or something? Oh.... they're the bad guys.
haha funny Reagan bad.
Yeah, we should be thanking them not fighting them.
@@charleswisconsin9196 That but unironically

These one-offs are still amongst my favorite Grump sessions. Good times!
Dan: Editors, please put in some music!
Editors: Umm, there's music
Me: WHAT MUSIC?!?!?!?
26:38 Arin has truly harnessed the art of telepathy.
Dan slowly and carefully walking up to an enemy to one hit them while Arin spinkicks around like he's had too much sugar is perfectly indicative of their personalities, I love it.
I cannot click a video ANY FASTER than when I see Grumps playing literally ANY retro game 🤣❤
At like 6:36 KILLED ME! “ I just like doin the spinkick there’s no downside..” he says AFTER he gets hit doing spinkicks! 😂😂😂
Aa a wise man once said "I'm a dude he's a dude she's a dude we're all dudes"

I thought the dude said "die" like in the classic UA-cam poops instead of "got it".
5:43 I’ve always said “doodle” instead of “dudette”; it sound funny, girls laugh, many serotonin
Gameplay: 0/10
Music: 0/10
Sound Effects: 10'000/10
So we bought an arcade machine with bad dudes on it, and it’s a running joke in our family when something mildly inconveniences us we do the UuuH noise!
Dan: "how are people about beating up girls in game's nowadays?"
Also Dan: voices a character in a game all about girls fighting.
The synched up “what did he say” was hilarious
Timestamp?
@@ChoppaBoy 19:20
I wonder why we can't hear Arin for a bit starting at 26:50. Anyway this was a great episode. Felt like classic grumps
7:58
Arin: (is about to share a scary yet cool creepypasta story)
Dan: "LOOK AT HOW CUTE THIS DOG IS!"
Always great when they play stuff from their generation of games. They always seem to have more fun.
Old geezers.
for anyone wondering at 24:42 when it cuts at "dragonninja," it gets very quiet and arin says "is trademarked," you just can't hear it because of like an audio glitch or something
These episodes always feel like we're just seeing a glimpse behind the scenes lol like they're not talking to the audience or explaining anything, they're just chilling and having a good time lol
Dan: *_"This guy feels boss-y"_*
I haven't heard him say "this looks boss like" in *years.*
This game had a sequel of sorts called Two Crude Dudes, loved playing it in the arcades back in the day.
Yess and you can lift dudes up in that game. I played it on the Genesis. Good times lol
Can't believe this is were "bad enough dude to rescue the president" comes from
"Dude I rule!" *_immediately dies_*
Rest In Peace
Maybe the real Bad Dudes were the "ERGH"'s we made along the way...
Love the random games, gonna see this is 4 years
i was gonna say same but it's actually so hilarious, i'd try watching it
@Omen Masters i mean like when they start playing games out of nowhere.

Sometimes Arin's audio doesn't work. Weird.
Dan: Editors, add music
Editor: adds a snarcky remark in comic sans font.
Ah i love this dynamic.
I would love to see you guys play Metal Wolf Chaos! It is stupid, fun, and pretty short. Great idea Arin!
They would get such joy from the voice acting and dialogue.
Did an actual spit-take laughing at "huhuhu baby fall down"
6:24 Ah yes, a normal grumps conversation

Still think you guys should play River City Girls. Mostly so both of you can point out Billy and Jimmy and go "THERE I AM!"

"That wasn't very honourable"
That's Samurai. Ninjas were murderers
