>tfw Game Grumps started 13 years ago
Holy shit! Where did the time go?

JonTron hasn't been good since Zach stopped writing the episodes

>>715657176
JonTron hasn't been good since 2012, when he stopped being an AVGN clone.

i've said it before and i'll say it again

jontron was funny when he was a literal child. he grew up.

>zoomers or whatever the fuck this shit is
:00000 oh my fucking kinorino!!!

JonTron was funnier when he was fat and depressed. He's got Charles Schulz Syndrome hard. Though he never really suffered, his parents are loaded

Both these fags went down the shitter

>>715657000 (OP)
13 years gone so fast i feel like ive accomplished nothing in them or changed as a person...

>>715657000 (OP)
JonTron won

>>715657000 (OP)
lotsa uncs itt

>>715657176
JonTron hasn't been good since it all became "look at how much money I have lol that's the joke" after Barbie
>10 years

>>715657000 (OP)
That first year is more memorable than the 10+ after Jons departure. Pretty similar to Ray from Achievement hunter imo.

why did he do it bros

It's funny how when the more production value there is the less desirable it is.

>>715657000 (OP)
I stopped watching when they stole markiplier's smash or pass video

>>715658058
Fuck I can't believe I was invested in this shit once

>>715658515
>Trendchasing fucking Markiplier

>>715661009
Didn't Markiplier start as an offshoot of Game Grumps?

>>715657363
do most youtubers come from rich families? I know pewdiepies mom was one of the richest people in sweden before he even started uploading

>>715661307
1:05 syncing with the music is a work of art.
High effort shitposting is the best shitposting.

>>715657000 (OP)
>JonTron hasn't been funny since he got ousted from Normalboots
reality isn't fair........

For me, it's

>>715662441
Not particularly, its just easier to get off the ground when you have the time and gear to stream all day.
That leaves three big group that run lasting channels, NEETs whos social issues prevent them from growing big via lack of a personality, people with well off parents that let them indulge their hobbies, and people who live in cold places where the infrastructure is robust enough to let nerds exist like Canada to the Scandinavian Countries.

GG was good for like six months.

>>715657176
>jontron still has 1 million more subs than game grumps, despite Arins utter devotion to youtube algorithms and attempting to contantly keep the game grumps brand image squeaky clean

jon and arin weren't even that funny in retrospect, but danny immediately turned game grumps into unwatchable slop

who the fuck is even watching? the viewer retention must come from teenagers and autistics who never grew out of it

>>715657241
I don't know why he stopped doing video game videos. He went from consistently funny jokes to maybe one chuckle-worthy statement per video, which does not justify his abhorrent upload schedule.

>>715662815
They never should of moved into that house and later office,. The content while great at times was not worth Kootra going full corpo and killing the group over time.

>>715657000 (OP)
Only 13 years? Strange it feels so much longer

>>715657176
zach wrote episodes? i thought that him and chris only helped with starcade.

>>715657000 (OP)
I PUT A HOLE IN THAT
BUST A CAP IN THAT

>>715663262
I stopped watching gay grumps when they did the clickbait titles and thumbnails and i doubt i'm the only one

>>715663272
Brutalmoose mogs him. Shit, even PBG mogs him at being a "variety" channel. Imagine being beaten by a gay Texan furry and Shaggy from Scooby Doo

>>715663262
Game grumps is still a thing???

>>715663379
its still going, yes. no idea who the fuck is still watching. arin will not let his precious company go.

>>715663336
I never liked kootra and could always tell something was off about him, my friend who introduced me to the group didn't see it until near the breakup. It's a shame they couldn't fix the drama. It was peak when it was new. Heck, even cowchop was good for what it was. I also miss seamus. It always seemed to me like he never liked what was happening but never wanted to participate in the drama himself. I feel for him now especially with his illness, whether he got over it or not.

>>715663379
Still uploading and still as bad at games, they are the kind of people that valve talked about during the HL2 playtests that managed to spend hours going in a circle.

>>715657000 (OP)
for me it's the Mr.Wilson rap

>>715657000 (OP)
Oh, huh.
I didn't care about ecelebs then, and I don't care about them now.

I prefer Oney plays myself

>>715663806
HE DIDN'T SAY THAT!

>>715663262
so fucking funny for the guy who left game grumps in it's infancy to "work on his career" (upload shitty vids once a year) and still outperform them

>>715663806
My faather loved NormalBoots

Can't believe life has gone by so fast

>>715663636
I think history will see The Creatures as the frontrunners of a lot of online creator trends that popped up in the following years both good and bad.
They were fun and had early movers advantage but had no idea how to move from a bunch of fairly charismatic guys playing games online and ended up being one of, if not the first to fall prey to the streamer house trap.
But their audience was a bit to old to have overlap with the main streaming audience and so nobody saw the lesson to be learned until it was repeated multiple times over.

>Jon won
>Arin forever stuck with Gay Grumps and is now the face of Creator Clash 3

>>715663976
He makes one 15minuite video every 6 months, hes not making more then the grumps.

>>715661307
>Jontron commented on this video
Damn, it really was a different time.

>>715663379
Yeah it is, but it it is the best example of 'channel in decline' i can think of
>over 5 million subscribers but barely hitting 100k on their uploads
>all of their most popular uploads are from over a decade ago
>even then, most of those are reuploads of fan-made content or compilations
Honestly shocked that he never pulled down the Jon episodes during the controversy, but then again they were and still are a serious chunk of his revenue so...

There was a point in my life where I thought Dan-era Gamegrumps was the funniest channel on all of youtube and I told all of my high school friends about it. I was (and still still am) a huge faggot.

>>715664082
interestingly the creatures still pull in views on their old videos from new audiences, I have a friend who's about 5 years younger than me and we were talking about youtube one day when HE brought up the creatures as a channel his friend showed him recently, I was shocked but very happy to see it still passes muster.
Maybe we'll live to see them get their posthumous rewards one day. They still don't even have a wikipedia article, funny enough.

>>715664313
GG obviously make more money since they post every day, I'm just surprised Jon still has a million subscriber lead after all this time

>>715664106
>The face of creator clash
Isn't that icuck though?

It's weird seeing people offended by their n word compilations

>>715657176

He took over after they roached out.

Why do boomers love watching and gossiping about e-celebs so much?

>>715665249
I was wondering when the first tranny would pop in and say this wasn't a video game thread.

>>715665415
they're like screeching vermin

>>715665415
>>715665724
I didn't say that, I was wondering why you boomers love to gossip and watch e-celebs so much.
For me this is in no way different from teenage girls gossiping about the latest hollywood drama

I stopped watching them back in the day when Jon left but just recently I started watching them again and was surprised to find out that Dan can be just as funny. Their Super Mario 64 and Sunshine series are kino as fuck just because of how terrible Arin is and how he would constantly lose his shit unironically. It seems he doesn't get as mad when playing games as he used to though.

>>715657000 (OP)
And now Arin "reviews" shit he bought on Temu by acting like a retard pretending he doesn't know how it works. At least JonTron is still relevant.

Foodfight and Food Games are some of the comfiest JonTron videos

>>715663379
Arin does cards now too

>>715666906
Bruh, last time I checked their channel, all their recent uploads were shit like supermarket simulator and power wash simulator and shit. How does one even get mad at those?

>>715664543
Me too brother, I used to consume these guys all day every day. Don't feel too bad.

>>715667435
He could have became something more if he didn't abandon animation/ his main audience. Instead the SMG4 guys took over animation on YouTube and now rake in millions with their own animation studio(the guys that make digital circus show)

>>715657000 (OP)
>13 years ago

the only time it was funny was the brief period where they realized they hated each other but couldnt do anything about it because the channel was making them too much $$$

>>715667525
>>715664543
To be fair after the cringe DUDE WEED LMAO opening Dan was pretty chill

He also often reality checked Arin I vaguely recall a zelda playthrough where Dan simply reminised about some 90s stoner movie and Arin got mad since is has 'le problematic' scenes and Dan came close to calling him an sjw bitch or something, he always remained media trained of course but Arin's sheer faggotry tested his patience often which was amusing

>>715663806

the fact that these guys are in their late 30s/40s does not feel right at all

>>715657241
jontron was fine until the starcade thing then slowly dropped in quality until whatever current era is
i stopped sometime after the second flextape, no interest in whatever he was doing

>>715657000 (OP)
Video games, faggot, VIDEO GAMES!

>>715663806
It's dumb, but it's my favorite kind of dumb, just friends shooting the shit while being decent at the games they play (mostly because they already know what they're doing).

>>715668028
Right, because Arin never said or did anything "problematic" before. What a fag

>>715669351
There's the ultra-tranny, sorry giga-troon, but e-celebs related to video games have been /v/ culture for as long as /v/ has existed buddy. You will never be an oldfag, go back to your ACTUAL off-topic gooner AGP tranny threads that pretend to talk about video games while jerking off with the xir's okay?

>>715664783
Ian btfo, he and his vamp wife threw it under the bus, knowing that shit wasn't going to make its goals. Ever worse, Ian released a "content cop" on Ethan Klein (they used to be friends), stirring even more bullshit for the event, with pretty much all the fighters for it in agreement that he shouldn't have fucking done that.

>>715670282
>Arin never said or did anything "problematic" before
Gotta cultivate that "new" audience, never mind just throwing away all your old fans and fellow NG creators, nah, let's bitch at a younger Mexican content creator over a completely harmless video that you had no stake in.

>>715668028
>He also often reality checked Arin
Dan straight up does not like Arin. At all. Doesn't help that Arin treats Dan like a means to an end than an actual friend in any capacity (apparently Arin gave Dan an "official reprimand" as his boss after the E-Y-E incident in their BotW playthrough, even though everyone thought it was funny).

He stopped being good when he stopped reviewing vidya. Simple as that. It was around the same time that he got bought out by Disney/Screenwave and started doing episodes on a fancy set and half the fucking episode would be set/prop/costume jokes.

Jon was at his best when it was just him in his bedroom/living room doing silly vidya reviews with humorously bad video editing.

>>715663374
I miss Brutalmoose. I wish he'd stop doing food and come back to vidya.

>>715657176
I don't know when that was, but he's been bad since he stopped doing game related content.
I don't care about fucking telemarketing or grifters or whatever the fuck he's on about now.

Basically Arin forgot how to spell a three letter word and Dan called him out and refused to drop how stupid he was.
