I remember them doing this show in Oklahoma City. I was in the crowd and after a couple of his losses, I yelled "JENNIFER WANTS YOU BACK!" He ended up going on a riff about how it was true and then died and he went "I LIED! Jennifer only said she was done with me for good!"
@@DanTheLoler_17 I actually watched that episode as a drinking game last night with a buzzball chiller bc I'm a lightweight, taking a sip for each death starting from the beginning of the episode. My buzzball was empty by the time he hit the pizza story, and I decided to just keep count for the rest bc (again, lightweight) I'd never drank that quickly before, and was actually feeling a bit nauseous. I counted what would've been 17 extra sips by the time Ross put Arin out of his misery. My favorite story is still the pizza one, bc no matter how many times I hear it, the fact that it ends with " -and I'm allergic to _FUCK_ !!!" always breaks me
Fun fact at the Brisbane show they said this Arin: guys when you come up on stage please don't run up to us or hug us Dan: we call that the Melbourne rule!
@EvdogMusic yes yes of course =w= they knew (from the vip q&a atleast) that Finns have some beef with the Swedes lol 😂 there was this part when Danny said that they asked the staff at the venue if Helsinki had some beef with another city from Finland and they were like "... nah. Stockholm, Sweden." Finland isn't a big country and we tend to be loyal to our kind. 💪 I think the audience was from all over the country, I myself am from Jyväskylä which is like... atleast 3 and half hours away by train?
A lot of people are acting like this not being real is a bad thing, when the truth is it's just the nature of these shows. When it comes to skits like this one it needs to be the same each time for the purpose of time and consistency. They only have so much time for the show itself, and so removing as many random factors that you can is a must. It's still very enjoyable and fun, and I can imagine it's way better in person, but if they could I would imagine that they would do it love over being pre recorded.
@@user-gn5bu7tx1b okay, and a lot of shows that are similar to this that don't use the audience are the same way. Heck in some cases they plant specific audience members to further remove the random factors.
The show was so much fun!!! The part where Dan asks for a name of a famous street in Helsinki, he looked straight at me and I almost had a panick attack and couldn't think one single street (I'm not from Helsinki but many cities in Finland share the bigger street names and STILL couldn't think of ANYTHING 😂)
Yeah. I think it's semi scripted comedy bit with pre-recorded game footage. I compared it to "Game Grumps Live! Arin finally wins Battle Kid!" from NYC and he dies in all the same spots in the same order. What they say somewhat changes, but the basic skeleton of the bit is all there, culminating in the "both of our houses" speech followed by Arin's victory. It's kind of neat how they do it.
Most of the show is prerecorded and scripted but they throw is a bit of improv. There's also a looooot of time devoted to watching audience member play while the Grumps literally just sit in chairs not commentating. Overall it's a fun experience but also feels a bit hollow and manufactured
the fact it's pre-recorded honestly makes it a little cooler to me. it's like game grumps wrestling in a way, knowing it's fake just makes the execution more interesting edit: it could also not be pre-recorded I was just basing this off what I saw in the comments lol
I think it's real. I saw them live and it seemed real. I think he's figured out the "run to the left edge, run right and shoot, repeat" formula down and just plays it up for the crowd.
Got to see them live and it was a blast. I was genuinely impressed how professionally they handled the stage and crowd and were focused on everyone having a good time and lots of laughs. Yeah most of it was scripted but who cares when it's a ton of fun?
I’m glad you uploaded this for us to see, but I know how they feel about people recording their live shows so it’s a bittersweet experience but I’m thankful because I get to see what their show is like
@@kasagure. because the show is scripted, and they perform the same show to multiple different cities so uploading it “spoils” the show which imo isn’t a thing because seeing it live and watching it on a screen is way different. But yeah they’ve talked about it in the past but it’s not something they often mention
I agree. I am so happy to see a recording of one of these shows because I have a super fond memory of it, but I'm also a little angry that this clip may have spoiled the show for some people
@@Hydraina I agree with you. But in some cases it's complicated. If I was living in the US I would have seen them long ago. But the few time they came in Europe (I live in france) it just wasn't possible for me to go see them. So I'm happy to see at least bits of it.
Thefact that it's scripted makes it feel less like they're putting on a live performance and more like they're putting on a play for the audience, and I do like that. :)
He probably practiced a bunch so he could beat the boss in every show. Even with all the practice, it still looks hard. I'm guessing when he's really got his game face on it usually takes him about 3-5 tries
It's pre-recorded, but he still did it at some point. I compared two different times he supposedly won and he dies in the same exact spot each time lol
It was awesome how after the whole Burgie backstory scene Danny was like "I have to say... I have *NEVER* seen audience react like you Finnish people did to Burgie's betrayal! I was looking at the faces at the audience and there were so many ABSOLUTELY SHOCKED FACES LIKE NOWHERE BEFORE!!!" 😂😂😂
I feel like if there was a way to truly depict this in animation, it would probably be a 2 or 3 hour film that starts with greyscale, bitcrushed footage of the original playthrough, and then progressively gets more and more epic and tells a story about Arin and Dan going off to train for this very moment, including the Creator Clash, and then finally face off against an actual honest-to-god real 60-foot Purple Plant Monster, with epic orchestral music scoring done by TWRP, The Protomen, The Megas, NSP, and possibly Red Vox all throughout, and then it'd finish off with like, some sort of cheesyass line like "I've gotta say, for as grumpy as I started everything off, even with my best friend beside me, I feel like we've both become not so Grump. After all we've been through today, I finally realize...I'm not just another Battle Kid; I'm the Video Game Boy. I'm the one who wins." before Arin just salutes the ensuing crowd and flies into hecking orbit with his cybernetic Battle Kid parts and has unnecessary yet meaningful cameos, anywhere from Tom Cruise with a Knuckles-style Australian cowboy hat and a poor Ross accent to Robert Downey Jr. pulling a Barry, and perhaps having, like...Ninja Brian except he's played by Robert Pattinson or something and has a ton of dialogue (to further emphasize the joke?) and then foreshadow to Jonathan Tronathan sitting, tied to a chair like he's, uh, Gilbert Robotnik or whatever his name is from Sonic Adventure 2 and imply that Sonic 06 is next in like, a post-credits scene
That's how these shows work. uwu Like most comedians, they repeat their material when on tour at different locations. I would assume you may already know this. Just for those who don't know. 😊
@@MaishidaHD My wife played on stage in Sydney, guitar hero for team grump (it's uploaded on my channel). She said as soon as he won "no fucking way he did that on those controls. They were awful". Apparently the screens there had serious button lag.
Arin is a prideful guy, I'm sure they recorded him beating the boss, and set up the bit around it. In other words, yes it's staged, but the accomplishment was real.
You know, if the gamey grumpies sold their lives as like on demand video or dvd, i would 100% buy Or at the very least do paid live streams of their shows. Theyll never come to where i live 😢
I can’t wait for them to be back in Oklahoma for another one of these shows despite me sadly missing their Oklahoma Game Grump related show last year when they was in Midwest City!!! Now they’re coming to T-Town aka Tulsa, Oklahoma!!!
No, I’m pretty sure it is pre-recorded. Sorry to ruin the magic a bit, but they end all their Tournament of Gamer shows with Arin beating Battle Kid, and that would be hell if he had to beat it every time before they could end the show. Just because it’s lightly scripted doesn’t make it less fun, though
Honestly, looking at the difference in gameplay between now and his previous attempts anyway, it looks like they found a rather exploitable pattern to do it anyway, so, eh? It's a good bit, with history, that's all that matters.
I would be surprised if it wasn't staged/prerecorded. It was all a bit too convenient and set up very timely lol, then again they are experts at improv. The only thing that really makes me think it was staged to some degree at least is because of the synced up lighting and music. They also likely had a schedule to keep so they couldn't have the game too long. Either way it's just for entertainment so it's not a big deal either way honestly, still a fun event
I remember them doing this show in Oklahoma City. I was in the crowd and after a couple of his losses, I yelled "JENNIFER WANTS YOU BACK!" He ended up going on a riff about how it was true and then died and he went "I LIED! Jennifer only said she was done with me for good!"
Damn burgie is a part of the show, battle kid, even the sequel to the jennifer story, this is really a moment for the fans
it wasnt a sequel, it was just the story being told, cuz he never got to say it :)
It was a really really great show. I went to their Seattle one and it was awesome.
@@Nanashi20You are also wrong, it was literally a different story. There was a sequel to the original in a Mario Maker episode though.
@@sabotagethefoolwhich one
It is on that day… Arin finally defeated his arch nemesis… The Purple Plant!
RED PLANT, BLUE PLANT, PURPLE PLANT
Jennifer dumped me...
Yet we still don’t know why it was growing in a rock world
I’M THE VIDEOGAME BOY ,I’M THE ONE WHO WINS
I wonder if they play that boss at every show
I'll never forget that episode... the rant and the hate was legendary.
I also liked the story about his mom.
she’s a nice lady, but, yknow…

10:37 At this part of the Melbourne show, the whole venue started chanting "EAT IT! EAT IT!"
Omg yes this was great
Fun fact at the Brisbane show they said this
Arin: guys when you come up on stage please don't run up to us or hug us
Dan: we call that the Melbourne rule!
@brodstarpadpen6949 at the Helsinki show it was the Stockholm rule lol

This video is 12 minutes long. It's the length of an old game grumps episode.
Blue plant
Purple plant
Red plant
*Dead Plant!*
Arin finally got his redemption arc.
My first thought clicking on this was "Jennifer is going to dump him again".

You’re not alone I would have had a panic attack as well
I Believe he did this in all the places they went on tour. He did it at the one in Edinburgh too. Not the tongue twister though

umm.. what makes you think it's pre-recorded.. you dumb?
I think the celebration at the end when they hugged was genuine. So I think it wasn't scripted
Got to see them live and it was a blast. I was genuinely impressed how professionally they handled the stage and crowd and were focused on everyone having a good time and lots of laughs. Yeah most of it was scripted but who cares when it's a ton of fun?
I don't think this was real at all but it still makes me so happy. Love these guys.
I mean the same thing happened at Nashville too, but regardless of whether it was real or not, it made my inner child happy.
Nah, he does the Battle Kid bit at every single live show. It's all scripted. Still hype af moment when you're there live, though.
i mean, for all we know, he might have actually done it once, but kept it recorded so he wouldn't have to do it again, but who knows.
@@BusCrashBoy He is actually playing it, or is it pre-recorded?
@@Obsolete386pre-recorded unfortunately but it still makes me smile. Saw their show today actually
The bit where Dan called Arin the video game boy was funny.
The stage work by these two especially arins physicality 😂😂
(10:04) Arin picking Dan up and spinning him around like it's nothing is freaking everything to me.
Get that man his celebratory clean diaper!
I think Arin needed that after the Legendary Catast-Ross-Phe.
Goddamnit Ross...

… do you think we might get an animate-a-grumps 2 after this?
What a loving community x hugs and kisses everybody ❤🎉
I saw them live in Melbourne a couple of weeks ago, and I actually screamed when he defeated the game 😂 Fun night.

Even arin beating battle kid?
@@jamessadler9180that part was probably of the script; see he was suppose to lose and rage quit like always
You could visually see how good it felt for arin to finally beat that, he tensed up, realized it was over, had to move and then exploded
its fake bruh
@@jadenepia5960 I didn't know that, he's a good actor then 💀

Can't wait to see this animated!
Holy shit he is the video game boy he's the one who wins
crying and sobbing thank you
an even bigger accomplishment than Arin's win at Creator Clash 2!

Backstreet Boys reunion outtro LMAO
I'm guessing he beats Battle Kid at every Tournament of Gamers like he did at the Sydney one yesterday?
Yeah, it's staged, but still funny
Yeah, they did the "second time's a charm" bit at Sydney, too. They also said "Noone record this, it's just for you"

It's nice seeing a conclusion to battle kid!
thank for uploading this I am so happy he be it!!!
Thank you for uploading thos video... You've brought closure to something so important in my life... I cried by the end. Thank you for that
Thanks for spoiling the end of the live show for me.
Great job, Arin. You have conquered your demons. Now, the only thing in front of you is the welcoming grave.
That was awesome. Thank you for that.
I was at this show! Thanks for filming a bit of it 🤗
It was such a wonderful experience, i still can't believe i was there too
lol he got so excited when he pronounced that correctly
Jennifer called. She wants you back.
I always wanted to go to one. Thanks for making this.
I hope one day I can go to one of their shows
Skinny legend got me quakin
This is a bookend I really needed
Playing Backstreet Boys was legendary for an exit song
The green needles are no longer the death of him.
Bro if I was Arin I would've dove into the crowd after winning that.
Wonder if Jennifer is gonna call him back...
He ate the burger WOOO
I can’t wait for them to be back in Oklahoma for another one of these shows despite me sadly missing their Oklahoma Game Grump related show last year when they was in Midwest City!!! Now they’re coming to T-Town aka Tulsa, Oklahoma!!!
He finally killed RED PLANT, PURPLE PLANT, BLUE PLANT!!!!
I think the next April fools episode should be them playing rock paper scissors
I was in the 2nd row and never realised there was SO MANY PEOPLE THERE 💀🤣💕
the end of an era?
Even after they asked people not to post clips
Ross finally belived in him
What was the tongue twister in the beginning? It sounds like Valyrian lol
Ärrän kierrän orren ympäri
Why do they have the YIIK thrones
Is there any better way to end a game grumps show than music straight from the Backstreet Boys reunion tour?
2:11 Classic Arin scream
The best part was that most people stayed and clapped the whole ending song
In the end they played some backstreet boys cos they were touring so much for their reunion tqht they had to tribute it
Red Plant, Purple Plant, Blue Plant it doesn’t matter anymore.
Omgad i feel so bad that i wasnt there god dammit!!
He finally did it!!
HE DONE IT ARIN FINALLY DONE IT!!!!!!!
Has to be recorded
For everyone saying it's prerecorded, maybe it's of Arin's gameplay still
Could you imagine if the plant had one final special phase and killed arin as he was popping off
Ross believed in him.
Ooo i was here. I was far left on Arin's side.
Bad news guys, that's not the end of the game
WHY AM I CRYING?!
A fan favorite, clamored return being done only on live shows that a minuscule fraction of people can even think of attending just feels bad.
EXORCISED IS THE DEMON
He is the video game boy
“Jennifer Dumped Me”
“SHOW ME WHAT YOU GOT” okay?
At this rate Jennifer might just take him back!
This is legendary
I got tickets to their show but I don’t know honk I’m gonna go. I think I’ve just outgrown them.
I get you, I felt the same but decided to buy last minute tickets. It was kind of nostalgic in a way, I highly recommend that you go! 🙏🏼
They did that in Amsterdam too.
The backstreet boys killed me
7:08 he's moving the analog stick while he's standing still it's a prerecorded video and he's taking the inputs.
