After animator Ross O’Donovan told the duo about their tendency to be “grumpy” with each other over video games, Hanson came up with the idea of a podcast revolving around this concept, though the show ultimately became a video series on YouTube rather than a podcast. Brawl was too similar to the character Fox in terms of their fighting styles. According to Jafari and Hanson, the idea for the show came about when the two were arguing over whether or not the character Wolf from the fighting game Super Smash Bros. Game Grumps was created by Jon "JonTron" Jafari and Arin "Egoraptor" Hanson, and began with a video of the two playing Kirby Super Star uploaded on Jto video streaming site YouTube. Game Grumps have also developed and published two of their own video games, Dream Daddy: A Dad Dating Simulator and Soviet Jump Game, 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.Īrin Hanson ( left, pictured in 2011) and Jon Jafari ( right, pictured in 2017) created Game Grumps in 2012 and hosted it together until 2013 As of 31 March 2022, Game Grumps has over 5.35 million subscribers and over 6.2 billion total video views. Those include Ross O'Donovan, Barry Kramer, Suzy Berhow, and Brian Wecht, as well as various guest hosts. Since Jafari's departure, the channel has expanded to include other hosts, besides the main two, who have floated in and out of the channel over time as a part of spin-off shows.
After Jafari left the show in 2013 to focus on his own YouTube webseries, JonTron, he was succeeded by Avidan. Created in 2012 by co-hosts Hanson and Jon Jafari, the series centers around its hosts playing video games. Game Grumps is a Let's Play web series hosted by Arin Hanson and Dan Avidan.
