Game Grumps

Game Grumps is an American Let's Play web series hosted by Arin Hanson (2012–present) and Dan Avidan (2013–present). Created in 2012 by co-hosts Hanson and Jon Jafari, the series centers around its hosts playing video games. After Jafari left the show in 2013 to focus on his own YouTube webseries, JonTron, he was succeeded by Avidan. Since Jafari's departure, the channel has expanded to include many other hosts, besides the main two, who have floated in and out of the channel over time as a part of spin-off shows. Those include Ross O'Donovan, Barry Kramer, Suzy Berhow, and Brian Wecht, as well as various guest hosts. , Game Grumps has over 5.37 million subscribers and over 6.4 billion total video views. Game Grumps have also developed and published three of their own video games, Dream Daddy: A Dad Dating Simulator, Soviet Jump Game, and Homebody, as well as writing the young adult novels Ghost Hunters Adventure Club and the Secret of the Grande Chateau and Ghost Hunters Adventure Club and the Express Train to Nowhere. Format Episodes usually consist of two hosts or more playing a video game, featuring their commentary (often humorous), experience with (and opinions of) the chosen game, as well as related and unrelated discussions, along with stories from their lives. Frequently this commentary features voice characterizations performed by the hosts, especially in the case of Hanson and Avidan. Many of the games played on the show are sent in by fans, who mail in games to the Grumps' PO box in Glendale, California. History
