About
Game Grumps (also spelled “GameGrumps”) is a collaboration channel on YouTube between JonTron[1] and Egoraptor[2], where videos are uploaded of the two playing video games while chatting with each other, either about the game itself or tangential content. The channel features many difference games being played, and has quickly developed a fanbase from a combination of the two YouTuber’s audiences.
Spread
On July 18, 2012, two videos were uploaded, one to each YouTuber’s channel, explaining the creation of the new channel.
The same day, the first video was uploaded to the main channel[4], featuring gameplay of “Kirby Super Star” for the SNES. The video has since gained 290,000 plus views. The duo has also uploaded videos of “The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past”, “Mega Man VII”, “Goof Troop”, and “Pokemon Emerald”. The channel itself currently has over 4 million video views and over 130 thousand subscribers.
Remixes
Because the two hosts have done multiple segments where they sing spontaneously, dance and EDM tracks have begun to appear using these sound bytes for vocals. Started by WaterFlame[3], they usually feature a short segment or single joke from one of the videos uploaded by the duo.
