I came here because of an old countdown, since removed, made by TatsTopVideos, which listed The Karate Kid as Number 8 of "Top 75 Hardest NES Games". ... Still amazed at how Dan decimated it.
There's never more than 2 guys on the screen at once and they respawn when you kill them, so if you can get both of them behind you and keep them on the screen, you can basically walk through the entire stage.
This is officially my favorite episode of Game Grumps just because of the part about the letters appearing in mid air and someone punching you for them.
Every time he says "Chopsticks Fly Catch" it just gets harder and harder to imagine it as the original phrase. I keep warping it into crazier bullshit like "Chopping sticker Fry Crotch"
I am baffled by how good Dan is at this game. I remember AVGN had a video where he talked about how bullshit hard it was. I gave it a try on an emulator after I saw it, but I was terrible at it. Dan just flew threw it, though. It was pretty amazing, really.
Funnily enough AVGN on his "revisited" series explained that games like "Karate Kid" and "Top Gun" are not that hard, he just sucks at them. You know, kinda like Arin and Majora's Mask.
Actually, to be honest, Deadly Towers turned out to be that one game I'd get stuck with for the weekend. I thought it was such crap, but I figured that was because I sucked at it. The idea of a "bad" video game never really occurred to me back then (except for Raid 2020). So, I'd keep renting it, and trying to "get good" at it. Eventually, I came to like it, and got really good. But yes, it IS bullshit.
dan made this "shitty game from the past" look easy. some people would say this game is so bad that they "would rather have a buffalo take a diarrhea dump in their ear."
It wasn't at all. If anything it reinforces negative stereotypes that hurt people with mental health issues who refuse help they need becausr they hear this
Oh god I remember my dads story when he went into the military and this is when karate kid movie came out, him and some other soldiers were learning some defense moves and their teacher was a Korean dude and when the teachers back was turned one of the cadets would say wax on wax off and the teacher turn around and ask who said that!
I have to say, a lot of the one-offs the Game Grumps play are enjoyable just for the utter shit they are, but I think this was actually a surprisingly good game.
sebbe44441 Irrelevant. Ground Zeroes is going to make 40 dollar teaser trailer content an acceptable thing in the gaming industry, and that's fucked up.
It took me 39 minutes . I bought it used and sold it the next day. I'm excited for Phantom Pain truly I am...but Ground Zeroes is not worth so much money.
Danny gets shit done and I like that... THAT is what game grumps needed.. less being really loud and annoying, much more being awesome and kicking ass.
+flamingmarshmallowLPS I dropped that a while ago. About s year actually. I no longer identify as one and particularly despise those who continue to follow that path. But as you have shown me kindness I will allow you to continue without my judgement.
Most people would make this game look "not fun" lol, dan just happens to be really good at it. This is actually one of the early titles that James said he did intentionally bad in for the sake of the video, which is something he did for most of his "season 1" videos before deciding to really go full time with the character.
This game kinda reminds me of the WarioWare series, with all of its short-spanned minigames. Come to think of it, WarioWare, Inc. is preeetty ADHD itself. Never thought of it that way.
I wasn't alive when the nes was around... the GameCube is my favorite because a few years after I was born it came out, but we were poor back then and when I was 8 in the summer my dad came home with it! it was the first home game console that had children games that we owned! I remember pretend to control the cartoon characters on TV with my brother. it was awesome! I don't think we had a game to play yet but we were so excited! we also had a ps2 but all my brother and I would do was watch my mom play sly Cooper and jak'n'daxter. she was really good. my aunt said once (word for word) "When video games came out your mom was always better at them" this was when we were young and both of my siblings and I were so surprised and laughed at how old they were... now that I see tiny kids looking at a game cube and they're just like HOW DID PEOPLE DEAL WITH THIS!! I'm only 16 and I sound like a 40 year old :(
+RxMExS No one looks at the Game Cube and thinks "How did people put up with this?" The graphics of that gen still hold up pretty well today. Now PS1 and N64 have really aged. But at 16, I'd slow down on trying achieve nostalgia. You'll have plenty of those years to come, dude.
So was I the only one led astray in their impressions of Dan early on because of this video? It was one of the first I saw after Jon left and I was like holy shit he's amazing, It'll be cool to have someone really good at games on the show. Few years later and 80% of the time Dan pushes the wrong button lol
Jesus Christ, Arin. Episode after episode of the most prominent pop-culturally significant mentions only to be met with, "No. I haven't seen it." Get your shit together and see LOTR, Goonies, Karate Kid and all the others you promised to watch with Dan. It makes me so mad I could piss glue.
Theyve both got their merits and atleast we now have whatever else Jon is working on to look forward too. I want him to do a series of just covering pop music like he did with "Firework".
I love that everyone criticizes the crap out of free entertainment. And damns the creators of such entertainment for making changes for the betterment of the people involved in making it. You guys are awesome.
It's a good thing you detailed where you were going to stop revisiting one-offs in the comments section of this video that you commented on but refrained from watching. I can imagine it being difficult otherwise for others to rationally determine where you drew the line on what videos are still too fresh for a second viewing.
***** No dice to you brah. Jon is funny on jontron but on Game Grumps Danny is a beautiful beautiful soul. He is the perfect foil for Arin and he really is not so grump. Very little gets him down (except Ross) and he generally just acts as the platform that lets Arin perform better comedy. They are perfect. Before the only real humorous stuff was when Arin would freak the hell out over something (sonic 06). Now every episode is funny as hell.
Funny, because I was medicated for ADHD, and it basically saved my life, made it possible for me to focus. And hey, what do you know, I could still feel emotions and laugh at videos when they're not being offensive.
Originally I missed Jon and I thought game grumps would never be the same. But then I gave Mr. Sexbang a chance... and he is beyond amazing. Danny Sexbang, you are awesome.
"It IS bullshit! But that doesn't mean you can't be good at it."
Words to live by.
its a pretty nice saying, all things considered.
Literally Dark Souls
...Surprising how much that equates to life. Goes perfectly with my motto of "Life's unfair, sometime's you've got to cheat to keep the bar even."
Llll
That goes perfect with life in general!
I came here because of an old countdown, since removed, made by TatsTopVideos, which listed The Karate Kid as Number 8 of "Top 75 Hardest NES Games".
... Still amazed at how Dan decimated it.
It's crazy how he's basically a top of the world gamer in 5 games only, and self-admittedly horrible at all others, lol
Well the main character is named Dan and his name is Dan so it makes sense
Title should have been Karate Kid -Part 1 (Finale)
Eh maybe
5:37 When I saw "Great!" On the screen I knew Arin would say it like Silver did in Sonic 06. He did not disappoint.
Arin's gotta be careful. He doesn't want to remind himself of Jon.
I fucking love how he says "Great" he really sounds like Silver! =D
GREATGREATGREAT!
UriclubTK Barry, gonna have to hear that FOUR TIMES IN A ROW!
GREATGREATGREATGREAT!
I had no Idea someone could get that good at this broken mess of a game, Dan is a master of shitty NES Titles
+Gwen Hale He is a master at all NES games...most of them...some of them. Well, I suck at Ninja Kid, so I have no room to talk.
There's never more than 2 guys on the screen at once and they respawn when you kill them, so if you can get both of them behind you and keep them on the screen, you can basically walk through the entire stage.
Jinzo9988 that's... Actually true.. You've got a good eye for spotting mechanics
I really love Jon, but Dan is literally making me giggle like a little school girl. He's reinvented Game Grumps for me.
Do you still watch the grumps?
Old SCHOOL!
This is officially my favorite episode of Game Grumps just because of the part about the letters appearing in mid air and someone punching you for them.
Every time he says "Chopsticks Fly Catch" it just gets harder and harder to imagine it as the original phrase. I keep warping it into crazier bullshit like "Chopping sticker Fry Crotch"
Exploding birds? Birdemic?
Short games nowadays: 4 hours
Short games back then: < 20 minutes
Birdemic reference. Props to you dude! 6 years later I'm revisiting this vid and found this gem. You made my day!
I am baffled by how good Dan is at this game. I remember AVGN had a video where he talked about how bullshit hard it was. I gave it a try on an emulator after I saw it, but I was terrible at it. Dan just flew threw it, though. It was pretty amazing, really.
It's weird watching anyone do well at games that are bullshit hard. Like ProtonJon playing Ninja Gaiden and Ninja Turtles on NES.
Hwarming Yeah, ProtonJon! Hooray for mutual likings of LPers on the internet on a video of two other awesome people on the internet!
And yet Danny gets his ass pounded so hard in the new Punch Out! game on wii. Funny how the world works. But seriously, he did amazing in this video.
Avgn also died on purpose in that video
Somewhere, AVGN watched this video and heavily raged afterwards.
+SethBlizzard As per usual
This game is a bunch of poopie-ass dogshit...
Funnily enough AVGN on his "revisited" series explained that games like "Karate Kid" and "Top Gun" are not that hard, he just sucks at them.
You know, kinda like Arin and Majora's Mask.
@@sansnom5269 kinda like Majoras Mask
@@dartez666 shit taste
Dick spear! Chopstick Fly Catch! Ice Block Break! Swinging Hammer! DICK SPEAR!!!!!
Oh gawd! I fucking loved this episode.
"It is bullshit. But that doesn't mean you can't be good at it."
Exactly what I think of Deadly Towers.
Actually, to be honest, Deadly Towers turned out to be that one game I'd get stuck with for the weekend. I thought it was such crap, but I figured that was because I sucked at it. The idea of a "bad" video game never really occurred to me back then (except for Raid 2020).

dan made this "shitty game from the past" look easy.
some people would say this game is so bad that they "would rather have a buffalo take a diarrhea dump in their ear."
Dang he freaking massacred this game
You could say he cinamassacred it.
P O O P Y A S S D I C K S
I always had the idea that this game was stupidly hard...guess it is but Danny tore through it :D
Damn, Danny was kicking ass in this.
He DOES have ADHD after all. XD
anonymouswriter5
So do I but I bet I wouldn't be a quarter as capable in this.
Lol that description of ADHD medicine was so true..and depressing XD
Fear Monarch i was thinking the same thing
Fear Monarch dude lol as someone who is bipolar i totally understood it 😆
It wasn't at all. If anything it reinforces negative stereotypes that hurt people with mental health issues who refuse help they need becausr they hear this
From experience and having ADHD myself I can relate. It's so true.XD
A whole game based on one style he used at the exact end of the movie.
“It *IS* bullshit, but that doesn’t mean you can’t be good at it”~Daniel “Dan” Avidan
I’ve always loved that quote, sums up most games from this era 😂
Danny kicked ass at this game.
So is this a One-Off or a complete series?
bwaaaaaaaa
Oi man Damnit, now I want tacos.
***** it is. Lol. You're the first you to comment on my profile pic since I made it.
Mst3k is awesome. I figured since I love the show and I comment on youtube videos most of the day that it would be fitting.
...yes?
This proves Danny's immense skill
...at specific games.
Such a fantastic playthough. Still come back to this every few months for a watch.
Dan has to be the best at shitty NES games. Imagine paying like 50 bucks for a 15 minute game.
And back then 50$ was like $90 or more nowadays
Contra if you are good at it
+Shawdawg590 Most NES games if you were good at them. They were intentionally made hard so that people would get hours of entertainment from them
Sonic 06 reference with great... I remember "GREAT! GREAT! GREAT!"
Jonbama illuminati confirmed
Alacrity thats my favorite LP they done. Classic grumps
Fun Fact: This is the first one off game with dan.
"It's my one really powerful leg with all the others being all weird and stringy."
All the others, Dan? Every last one of his other legs?
The hole he fell in on the typhoon level was not only the exact same hole but entirely same way AVGN fell in his review of this game.
It's weird when you watch this and the actual movie at the same time. They even did the ice block break at the same exact moment. :o
This classic one-off has finally reached 1 Million Views! I hope there is some sort of alert on their end when something this monumental has occurred.
Oh god I remember my dads story when he went into the military and this is when karate kid movie came out, him and some other soldiers were learning some defense moves and their teacher was a Korean dude and when the teachers back was turned one of the cadets would say wax on wax off and the teacher turn around and ask who said that!
What is the purpose of that map? Does knowing that you're closer to the end of the giant blue bar help you somehow?
You could use it as a way measure your Crane Kick and Drum Punch use. For like strategy and stuff.
3:34 - There is no such thing as a "gross, Chun-Li leg."
Chun-Li's legs are a lot of things. Gross is not on that list.
The amount of ADD in this game is unreal, I can't stop laughing
I love Danny
3:11 Let's all acknowledge that Danny is speaking as if you have more than 2 legs...
What do you mean "as if"?
I miss the nes/snes/Sega one off days. They could bring it back more with the 30+ min vids they do now.
I dont know why but everytime I hear danny so "KEEYAHH" it just makes me giggle
I have to say, a lot of the one-offs the Game Grumps play are enjoyable just for the utter shit they are, but I think this was actually a surprisingly good game.
Phantom Fighter is pretty cool, too!
Cinna Moan Agreed! :D.
It's longer than GROUND ZEROES
Played us like a damn fiddle!
But Ground Zeroes is actually fun. And it made me super pumped for Phantom Pain.
sebbe44441
Phantom Pain will be magnificent, but Ground Zeroes is nowhere worth 30 bucks.
sebbe44441 Irrelevant. Ground Zeroes is going to make 40 dollar teaser trailer content an acceptable thing in the gaming industry, and that's fucked up.
It took me 39 minutes . I bought it used and sold it the next day. I'm excited for Phantom Pain truly I am...but Ground Zeroes is not worth so much money.
Arin as Egoraptor!
Danny as Daniel-San-er... Danny.
And they're the game grumps!
I don't think there's any such thing a "gross Chun-Li leg."
....YoU DoN'T KnOw.......Do YoU?..
You'd be surprised.
Haha, at the end when Arin was reading the text, I literally thought it was Mr. Miyagi talking XD
I almost only watch these single episodes. I find them the funnest.
Chopsticks Fly Catch!!!
6:37 Dan turned into his dad
6:35 Dan pulls an Avi
1/10
Not enough EHHHHHHHHH
Like father, like son.
Danny gets shit done and I like that... THAT is what game grumps needed.. less being really loud and annoying, much more being awesome and kicking ass.
new guy beats a childhood nightmare in one sitting. welcome to the team Danny.
Dan stomped the shit out of this game in 15 minutes......15 minutes.
Wow that was fuckin impressive how quickly Dan beat this hard as FUCK game!
He admitted later that he got hit on purpose to make things interested
+Chase Chavis Rulason what
+Official Goose Studios To clarify: that was the Nerd who said that, not Danny.
9 years later and I still can't believe how bad The Last Airbender movie was.
Finishing a game as a one-off: I officially love Danny
Arin says 'Great!' in a reference to Sonic '06... Danny doesn't react. A single tear rolls down my cheek.
as someone who has ADD...
I can say that is extremely accurate.
Liam Scollins f*cks given: 0
*gasp* A homestuck. I think.
Liam Scollins Hey look, a homestuck.
Well met my freind
flamingmarshmallowLPS I'm one aswell
+flamingmarshmallowLPS I dropped that a while ago. About s year actually. I no longer identify as one and particularly despise those who continue to follow that path. But as you have shown me kindness I will allow you to continue without my judgement.
2:43 OMG is THAT why this used to be one of my favorite games?
...just must not have been diagnosed.*shrugs shoulders*
AVGN made this game look not fun. When these guys play it, it seems fun
AVGN is just bad at video games. So he bitches about them, like its their fault. lol
I couldn't disagree more.
He beat ghosts and goblins and the transformers famicom game. Do you remember when Arin and Danny played that one?
Most people would make this game look "not fun" lol, dan just happens to be really good at it.
This is actually one of the early titles that James said he did intentionally bad in for the sake of the video, which is something he did for most of his "season 1" videos before deciding to really go full time with the character.
When Arin yelled "GREAT!" and Danny didnt even agknowledge it. *sheds one single tear for Jon*
Dude, the first instance of "Do you like CRAF?! OH, me too" was in this random game?
Who be here from M.C Kids episode with Dan bragging about how fast he can beat this game.
This game kinda reminds me of the WarioWare series, with all of its short-spanned minigames. Come to think of it, WarioWare, Inc. is preeetty ADHD itself. Never thought of it that way.
I used to love renting this game for the NES when I was little.
I wasn't alive when the nes was around... the GameCube is my favorite because a few years after I was born it came out, but we were poor back then and when I was 8 in the summer my dad came home with it! it was the first home game console that had children games that we owned!

This is my favorite one from Dan, He shows that even terrible games can be beaten with ease.
I'm from today's episode
Same
I'm from today's episode too!
that last air bender movie is pure cancer
"GREAT"
The final dialogue went so well with the music. "I've never beaten this game before."
GREAT...a tear shed for our fallen brothers
Can you guys play Ninja Gaiden?
Jesus Christ, Arin. Episode after episode of the most prominent pop-culturally significant mentions only to be met with, "No. I haven't seen it." Get your shit together and see LOTR, Goonies, Karate Kid and all the others you promised to watch with Dan. It makes me so mad I could piss glue.
It's a Clone High joke.
maui strife
Useless!
"You were destined for that hole." -Arin Hanson
...also, that's what she said.
I like to imagine that Dan snaps to attention every time a mini-stage shows up.
Theyve both got their merits and atleast we now have whatever else Jon is working on to look forward too. I want him to do a series of just covering pop music like he did with "Firework".
Throw back Thursady, from a Monday episode
mrow back Monday...
Is anyone else giggling uncontrollably because of the pronunciation of karate?
MsDerpylover Pretty sure that was intentional
I'm aware
wow. Danny's doing WAY better than the AVGN
Da Lime avgn said he was playing badly intentionally for the episode
Riiiiiiight, "intentionally"
I love that everyone criticizes the crap out of free entertainment. And damns the creators of such entertainment for making changes for the betterment of the people involved in making it. You guys are awesome.
the A.D.D. kid joke was spot on. shit was so random and short its perfect for A.D.D. hahah
5:35
the feels...
wtf was the avgn talking about?
Don't judge unless you've played it, it's a hard game.
Also he admitted years later that he was getting hit on purpose to play it up for comedy.
***** Well if you watch his review it's pretty obvious he's walking right into enemies
I forgot I posted this X3 I meant it as a joke,but my English isnt great. :3
Was rewatching One-Offs playlist, time to stop here cause I am specifically rewatching JonTron stuff. Dan stuff is too new to rewatch yet.
Really? It's been a whole season since this was uploaded. Been like a half a year,
My purpose was to rewatch stuff with Jon in it. Unless Jon is secretly in this then, no dice.
It's a good thing you detailed where you were going to stop revisiting one-offs in the comments section of this video that you commented on but refrained from watching. I can imagine it being difficult otherwise for others to rationally determine where you drew the line on what videos are still too fresh for a second viewing.
OzzyKingofKings You sir are a genius and I can honestly say that from this one comment I know that I love you XD
*****
No dice to you brah. Jon is funny on jontron but on Game Grumps Danny is a beautiful beautiful soul. He is the perfect foil for Arin and he really is not so grump. Very little gets him down (except Ross) and he generally just acts as the platform that lets Arin perform better comedy. They are perfect. Before the only real humorous stuff was when Arin would freak the hell out over something (sonic 06). Now every episode is funny as hell.
"Do you rike clabcakes?
Me toooo."
The best part about Danny joining GG is that there are more jokes related to the game in the episodes.
Danny is in the middle of a typhoon but still feels the need to murder every fly he sees and dodge every hammer possible.
Dan, you've truly grown from a Karate Kid to a Karate Man.
"oh, its pink out today" hahahah fuck you dude i was drinking. well played good sir, well played
Daaaamn Daniel-San, you rocked that games face HARD. *claps*
Funny, because I was medicated for ADHD, and it basically saved my life, made it possible for me to focus. And hey, what do you know, I could still feel emotions and laugh at videos when they're not being offensive.
GG one-offs are like the begining of a Regular Show episode
I like Danny and Jon ALMOST equally.
Danny actually PLAYS games and makes an effort to win at them, and Jon is a HAM, a loveable ham.
00:36 "god, im christ" LOOOOOOOOL dunno why its so damn funny, it just is.
Figured this one-off was going as far as the rainy level, but it turns out they managed to beat a game in one part.
Very impressive.
Let's fighting now, let's fighting love.
god that add joke about being dead inside really got to me because it was suprisingly accurate
Golf, Football, Stick Fighting and NES games are Danny's specialties.
I love Danny's laugh. It sounds like he's spitting though his teeth.
Ok, all that AVGN made me believe for my life just crumbled right before my very own eyes.
Danny is my new god.
Originally I missed Jon and I thought game grumps would never be the same. But then I gave Mr. Sexbang a chance... and he is beyond amazing. Danny Sexbang, you are awesome.
