Holy crap I played the hell out of Congo Bongo as a kid and nobody I know has even heard of it. So awesome to see the grumps acknowledge it!
Took 13 years but he did it. Arin finally turned off sticky keys!
the teapot bit is already a great sign
I'm not sure which is better: Dan excited to talk about a childhood game, or Arin having fun with a new game he would have never touched
"Now you're in the clouds because you landed on the swan! You can get the butterflies!" ~ crazy person on a new york subway probably
Even the slightest mention of a frog from this channel makes me pine for another GG VS match with Frolf. This is what you've done to me.
My favorite Commodore 64 game they tried to play (unsuccessfully) but was still funny as hell was The Winter Games episode. The ski jump where the skier crashed when he landed and just laid there still hurts my sides with laughter
Listening to this without watching allows for some interesting sound bites, such as: "You're trying to get in the dinghy, don't take the swan 'cuz the swan takes you to air town" and "It just toots, it's it a tugboat, it toots"
Being 41 now and watching Grumps all these years has just given me such a sense of security and happiness for the memories I have of the vague shit I did or experienced in my little pocket of Australia, knowing that Dan and so many Lovelies around the world were experiencing them too! Every time Dan quotes Spaceballs it makes me so happy, cos nobody else in my life has ever liked it or understood when I quote it, but hearing Dan quote it makes me feel like I've got a distant friend that understands haha Also Frogger 2 IS the shit, omfg, I haven't seen it since the 80s either 😅
The beginning of each game is just: Dan having the best nostalgia trip. Arin desperately trying to learn the controls and how the games work.
When an eel bites your thigh and you bleed out and die, that's a moray... Put your hand in that crack and you won't get it back, that's a moray... When the jaws open wide and there's more jaws inside, that's a moray... When it swims on a reef and has two sets of teeth, that's a moray!
Donkey Kong came out 2 years before Congo Bongo, in case anyone was wondering
I like how Congo Bongo helps them experience the Amazon… and not… like… the Congo
"Reedeep" is onomatopoeia for frog sounds (alongside "ribbit") so "Threeedeep" is both a reference to a frog noise as well as the three environments of the game
Thanks @kinkerz for sharing this channel with me. I just now (September 2024) followed! I AM GRUMPY 😡 THAT I HAVEN’T FOUND THIS CHANNEL BEFORE! Also I have a similar sense of humor. Love @VexuL keep it up guys!
As I have fully associated their voices with the AA characters, hearing Edgeworth doing the teapot rhyme immediately upon starting this episode was quite the experience.
These episodes where they play nostalgic games from Dan's childhood are just made of happiness.
7:25 Lipstick in my Valentino white bag?!
0:41 Dan’s intro really brought me back in time. Whenever your parents came home from ToysRUs, it was huge.
