The BEST SELLING toys for Christmas every year

The fact that Arin is named after Teddy Ruxpin's character is the biggest trivia I've learned this year

Two things I love.
1: Dan relating all these dates to Rush albums, and
2: them opening some most likely collectable toys that are mint in box.

"Rush didn't release an album that year" got me so good lmao

“This one’s name was… machine washable” killed me and I don’t know why nobody is talking about it 😂

When Arin hugged the carebear was so wholesome 🥺🥺 5:09

The half dead corpse of elmo maniacally laughing whilst his insides are being surgically removed is honestly terrifying

It was unbearably uncanny that Dan's first performing experience was with Teddy Ruxpin while Arin's first sexual experience was with a Care Bear.

1. Allie's little laughs in the back of the videos always get me 😂 she's adorable
2. My mom was 100% one of the mom's who fought for a tickle-me-elmo when some lady stole it out of her buggy AND she won it back 😆

I love that Dan measures time by Rush album releases.

10:22 I know Dan's saying "Rush", but why does it sound like "Russia" every time? Maybe he's just saying "Rush had..." really fast.

I love how the teddy went from playing children songs to nightmare music in second, followed swiftly by Dan’s pterodactyl screech

The raw emotion in Dan's eyes as he says "Rush didn't release an album that year" at 15:57 is somehow unreadable and also upsettingly relatable.

I can’t believe that Dan’s first performances were with a Teddy Ruxpin doll, and Arin was named after a Teddy Ruxpin character… what an influential little bear

Dan's "Rush didnt release an album that year" HAD ME FUCKING DYING WITH THE LOOK ON HIS FACE

That Rubik’s cube editing was SO good. I just want to let the editors know how much I appreciated that 😅

"I was brewing in the nutsack of an older man" top tier arin quote

Dan and Arin dancing with Teddy Ruxpin at 6:54 gave me such feels. Such a wholesome moment and reminds me of how I would dance with my barnie doll as a little one.

5:19 "Did you know Care Bears were my first sexual experience?" I thought Dan was the furry 🧸

The 10MPH is just devolving into Arin and Dan using their power to experience childlike wonder again. And like with any story of returning to the past, it inevitably delves into madness before we're halfway through. Merry Christmas boys!

Dan’s commitment to the Rush album release dates bit somehow gets funnier and funnier

I can't believe they didn't show case furbys, anyways this was a blast from the past. I grew up poor in the 2000s so a lot of my toys growing up were also my parents, to this day I cannot fall asleep with out a story being read to me because of how much I used Teddy Ruxpin.

This was a genuinely heartwarming episode.
Happy holidays, power bottoms.

9:22 Arin's excitement is instantly relatable to me; I was 9 years old in 1990

I'm disappointed that they didn't pull out the TMNT pizza thrower that would launch hard plastic discs at about a billion miles an hour at anyone in range, it was great

Dan's obsessive knowledge of Rush release dates will always be impressive

someone is clawing their skin off in rage watching arin manhandle Glorina's packaging like that...good stuff!

arin going “are they scented?” about the care bares had me actually yell at my phone OF COURSE THEYRE SCENTED!! also the strawberry on the back of the bear is pointing right at the camera as he says it 😂

The delight when they saw the care bears is adorable

Dan's "I was seventeen" is so relatable to anyone who has friends younger than themselves

The fact that Dan’s coffee didn’t go flying with everything else too is impressive😂😂😂

1:21 "That's the year I was born!"
Arin's empty stare of disbelief and Dan's "I was seventeen..." felt so, so, sooooooooooo relatable to old farts like me.
It's like when someone tells you that they were born in 2005 and you realize that they'll be old enough to vote next year...

To think, there's an alternate universe where Aruzia constantly picks the biggest most macho buff boy character in any game and Danni is looking over thinking, "That's my small dog."

dan using rush album releases as the metric in which time is measured is the most prog thing ever

Danny naming what rush album came out in correlation to each toys year is a whole mood

I audibly gasped when Arin threw the Cabbage Patch baby away. NO STOP IT'S JUST A BABY

I love learning that Dan experiences time exclusively through the lens of album releases.

Just in case anyone’s confused, Dan keeps saying what albums *Rush* had released that year. Because the way he kept saying “Rush had released” sounded like “Russia released” and it even confused the Closed Captioning 😅
I’m sure most of you understood, but who knows, maybe Closed Captioning is reading this and learned something today 🌈

dan's high pitch scream killed me. acttually that entire part killed me.

These guys should honestly make a gaming channel, I think they would be great at it

14:03 Terrified watching them with tickle me elmo as my aunt is a toy designer and she made that damn thing

Dan saying he was 17 in 1996 makes me feel really young and I'm 32... Thanks Dan, love you even more

Dan hitting us with the Rush album releases, love it.

"This one's name is... machine washable" has me absolutely laughing like an idiot right now. Got me good.

i seriously have to be careful watching these because every single 10 minute power hour makes me go hysterical

"I was brewing in the nutsack of an older man" is officially my new favorite Arin quote.

16:32 is like a Renaissance painting

Can I just say that Rubik's cube editing was so freaking good I had to rewind like 5 times

As a 90s kid this was a crazy trip down memory lane. Didn't expect this many feels from a Grumps episode

I love how Dan has measured his life by Rush album release dates. Side note: I didn't realize how long Rush was releasing new music.

i’m actually impressed how Dan guessed the majority of these. I know if i had to guess the most popular gifts of my years growing up I would probably get 0 correct

The fact that Dan actually used "Poggers" correctly, and most likely without knowing the "PogChamp" origin is super impressive. Well done.

6:30 that "don't look at me" came from such a deep dark place XD

I love the way aly laughed every time they found out she just wrapped something they already had 😂

The shock in their faces when he said 1996 was the year he was borned 😂
Dan is like a vampire, never aging!

i really, REALLY hope the pencil cup is bent for every single future episode.

1:18 As a person who works with people half my age, this hit hard (I work IT, it's a young man/womans game and I changed careers after 20 yrs). "I remember when Mario Sunshine came out, I was 4 yrs old!" *Me in rocking chair* I was in my 20s... those were the days.... HEY YOU KIDS GET OFF MY LAWN, YOU'RE BENDING THE GRASS!

2:45 So, is nobody going to talk about how Dan solved the Rubix Cube in like 5 seconds? Like legitimately solved it?
Special effects? I couldn't tell.

That "gher-" at the end of 13:56 make me laugh everytime

arin destroying the container until it's flat without realising it killed me

arin’s hair looks so good this episode

Elmo laughing like the Joker while Arin eviscerates him is unexpectedly hilarious

Dan's knowledge of Rush album release dates astounds and impresses me

I want a part two where you guys keep going on throughout the years to the present

I recently relistened to Rush’s discography in order of realest date, so hearing Dan recite the release dates with ease is very heartwarming. RIP Mr. Peart❤️

I can't believe Dan is 43 years old! And he looks like he's in his late 20's at the most....

“So this one’s name was… machine washable” made me laugh more than it should have

Dan's encyclopedic knowledge of Rush's album releases is honestly so endearing.

15:40 The slow pan to Dan's face and the way he said "Happy Hanukkah" made me laugh and idk why.

Imagine saving a doll for forty years, keeping it in the package, taking care of it until the time is right until you finally decide to put it on ebay, it gets sold, you turn into game grumps and see the box of your doll getting destroyed and then the doll being literally tossed aside

Dan being able to list a Rush album for each year is like me being able to say what Bionicle was doing each year of the 2000s

They really are the most precious, specialist boys around.

I remember getting a Gameboy that year. It was just the distraction I needed from my parents, who were constantly fighting and soon-to-be divorced! :D
Happy holidays everyone

Whoever was operating the camera and tracked the goo drip off the action figure's grundle, I salute you.

I bet Dan relates all the events of his life to the release of Rush albums. I appreciate that, Dan.

The look on Dans face after Ethan goes “That’s the year I was born :D”
The Devastation 1:24

10:04 To whomever edited this and inserted the audible sound of ooze sliding off of that action figures grundle...
Why do you do these things?

Love the Rush album release date trivia from Dan. Best band ever!!

i absolutely adore that dan marks the years with what album/songs rush came out with at that time, that man is so pure

Arin's reaction to the cabbage patch box makes me want them to go to the Cabbage patch museum so that they can watch that weird tree give birth.

"So this one's name is... Machine Washable" better be in some GG compilations

Elmo laughing and not even being touched is so funny to me 💀

This one goes in the "made me laugh whether I liked it or not" bag, season 2 so far so good👍👍

I love that half the stuff was just taken from the office. This was a fun episode.

Something about the boys wearing rings brings me unmeasurable joy.
For some reason.

I love how Dan's brain works. It's all Rush. It's just Rush all the way down.
Imagine Dan as a historian:
"These are the Great Pyramids of Giza, built somewhere between 4,526 to 4,466 years before Rush's fourth studio album, 2112, or as we say in the Rushstorian world: almost 5,000 B2112"

Hearing Dan rattle off the Rush album's that were out that year, warms my heart.

0:37 I see that Arin starts out strong, with more Shoocharu animation fuel.

I would never have guessed that Dan and I are the same age. I thought he was younger, probably because of his energy.

Oh my god the Glorina Doris bit absolutely slayed me with the editing.

Im literally crying because of Arin beating the merch box

Don’t worry Arin, maybe Santa will teach you *how to open boxes* for Christmas

We have Pogs to thank for Arin’s Dead or Alive gambling addiction

The look on that one intern's face just screamed "this is my life now" and it had me in stitches.

I love the look on their faces when Ethan’s like “that’s the year I was born!” 1:17

"What is this mindgame!" is something I'm going to scream this christmas if I get anything wrapped with more that 4 pieces of tape

Always give Dan and Arin toys.
It brings out the best in them.

0:36
You can literally hear the sheer power as Arin permanently warps the pencil-holder with his meaty fists

Love the crotch goop sfx. Editing perfection!

I love Dan’s Rush references 😂

I'm really glad Dan ALSO calculates time via Rush discography. Good to know I'm not alone!
