#gaming #AmericanGladiators #ayatollahofsmackola
I LOVED American Gladiators as a kid. Any competition where the rules are "try to hit a target with a nerf rocket launcher while a guy called Thunder shoots tennis balls at you" is quality television, I don't care what anyone says.
Truly a blessed time in American television.
I still remember a couple of times where the contestants won because the muscle dude ran out of tennis balls and was all "whelp, I guess you win"
I have never thumb's up'ed a comment so quickly in my entire life.
I'm too young for the original series but I loved the reboot as a kid.
"You gotta really pay attention to each hand. Cuz each hand corresponds to each hand."
That's some crystal clear 'splainin, Arin!
I mean he’s not wrong
The scream of the character being pushed off the platform in joust is one of the greatest NES sound effects ever!
On par with Dan's "NO!!" from Mario Maker
@Chuan Cresi🌹 heck
"I'm gonna do assault because I'm good at it."
- Arin Hanson, 2021
🤣😭
Famous last words before failing.
"Two hundred and twenty pounds of twisted steel and sex appeal."
- Nitro, 1991
Which is still funny because Nitro was probably the worst gladiator on the show.
@@robintst I always thought Bronco was worst. He appeared on Human Cannonball, once, got knocked off his platform and never appeared again.
@@snukastyle I always love that clip of Malibu getting nailed hard on human cannon ball.
@@snukastyle Maybe that's where that scream came from. The guy broke his fucking neck.
I love that Arin can still love his past embarassing sentences, like "Did you point!?".
Dan: *_"I'm POUNDING this guy! Take THAT out of context!"_*
Me: We take everything you say out of context, Dan!
So true.
Take this! Take this!
@@Pyrodragon3993 WHY DON'T YOU TAKE THIS!
Yes but he gave his blessing this time
when you think about, the entire gg animated format is built on taking these guys out of context
Me, An Old: "oh neat, American Gladiators! I watched that as a kid"
Dan: *begins to give a history lesson, because plenty of Lovelies were born way after*
Me: Oh yeah... *turns to dust*
Same.
Same.
It's rough being an 80's kid here. We're definitely grandpas.
You comment like a zoomer though.
Same club.
If memory serves, that thing that flies at them during joust that they try so hard to avoid... is a powerup
If thats true, thats amazing
It is. Gives you a one hit kill on the next opponent. 😂
That's Game Grumps for you 😅
Exactly. It's a power up. Really helpful.
But you have to get the first shot, because you lose it if you get hit once or heaven forbid, drop into the pit.
In Sweden "The gladiators" where big during the early 2000's, based on this show but recorded in Sweden. Got a rebirth in 2012 and lasted again until 2017.
In that show ya had gladiators named stuff like Elektra, Atlas and Plexus, with randoms going up to battle them in courses.
Exactly the same in Australia, at least for the reboot one.
It was massive in the UK during the 90s. The fan favourite was always "Wolf" who became a minor celebrity for a while - he was brilliant.
I think it had attempts at reboots but it will always be a big nostalgia thing.
They were in Finland, I don't know if it was huge or anything, but Laser was a woman and later she killed somebody.
I wonder why this show was so good growing up and the reboot failed so hard (at least in the US). I remember as a kid watching this and thinking the gladiators= super heroes
This was my jam when I was a kid! BTW, the stick that comes out of nowhere in Joust is a power up. If you get it, you take out the next guy with one hit.
Yup! It had JUST come back to me through a damned time machine!
Man, my two friends were obsessed with this and marble madness a few years ago. I never thought I'd have such a nostalgia of watching people play this.
Marble Madness was always a great game. The Crazy Maze was like my school's metric for "badass." If you could beat gravity and backwards controls, you were king of recess.
@Hisesi Haruma🌹 Are you replying this to every comment???
Those two games were my childhood.
"this is your game, this is the first one you mastered! oooh my God" as Dan sails completely past the rope was fantastic
The moment you realize Danny was pretty much done with this game
"They are throwing things at me" Umm you gotta catch it Dan. That's the one hit kill q-tip.
Whoa, the music in this game is dynamic! Notice how the song changes when someone shows up in Wall. And the sound effect for them falling works really well with the song. Very impressive for an NES game
Arin: *hates sports
Arin: "I want to see a bunch of in-shape people do a bunch of physical challenges"
Yeah but I think he just wants to watch muscley dudes
@@Medahlian Idk man, you ever watch wrestling? Pretty hot-I mean, its pretty focused on their dudeness
I looove that Grumps are back to playing random NES games. They're always my favourite episodes
I might be wrong but I think Dan and Arin could make just about any game look fun
You must be new here
It's the grump paradox: they can make shit look like gold and make great games the devil
4:58 You hear that Jon? Arin told Dan how to do it, because he's a good person!
Once again, Danny reminds us at how good he is at hitting people with his stick and balls.
Nice
Can I just say that Danny's description of American Gladiators is on point? My husband and are were both early 80's children and grew up across the country from each other and we both laughed cuz as much of nerds we were who hated popular kids and jocks, and sporty kind of stuff, we both totally watched American Gladiators. Everybody did. We were definitely captivated.
Watching it now, the interviews are the strangest part of a very strange show. They are like weirdly very sweet, like "My kids are watching in the audience, if I win we are gonna take them to disney land." Today they would hype it all up like "My life's dream is to win at everything and beat a dude to death with a giant q-tip"
😅😊
😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
Ah, yes, finally, the sequel to Snoopy's Sports Spectacular.
Arin skips past “Two hundred and twenty pounds of twisted steel and sex appeal” at 30:39. That’s such a good one too!
I love how every time they gotta reassure us that Mario RPG is coming back lol.
I loved American -Gladiators as a kid. I even remember watching an episode of Family Matters where Carl and Steve went on AG to settle a dispute. Good times.
Feel the need to say this every time - LOVE when you toss in random NES games like this.
8:56 I was honestly wondering how long it was going to take them to notice the Sonic Unleashed style screams on the Joust.
Best part of the game! It legit sounds like they're being flayed or something. 🤣
I still own this game. It's so brutal, especially the wall climb. If your hand touches a black spot you fall as soon as you press another button so you have to be super deliberate. Now if they would just play Conquest of the Crystal Palace I'd be thrilled
I know dude, I still have it too. Never beat the 2nd wall to this day
the wall climb could be its entire own game
The Wall is easily the hardest event in all 4 levels. I specifically got good at Powerball just so I could have more chances at the Wall.
8:56 That scream is amazing! Whoever voiced that I hope they got some well earned kudos lol
I always felt like American Gladiators was inspired by the movie "the Running Man" lol
That's silly, everyone knows it was based on the actual gladiatorial events of Ancient America in which participants would try to best one another in deadly battles within the confines of the Costco-sseum
He said 1986. Lol I'm old too.
@@mediocreandworse59 One fateful day, they should have just introduced 300 lions and a full-scale sea battle.
I'm immediately having Nickelodeon Guts flashbacks with Jon....
"Oh, you have to push a button to drop it"
"Oh, THANKS."
"Hey I had to figure it out too"
The Arin/Dan dynamic.
This brings me back, UK Gladiators was so fun to watch when I was a kid
Arin always makes me laugh and Dan’s voice always puts me at ease. Game Grumps always keeps getting better somehow
Well this isn't the Mario RPG I was hoping for, but I do like retro games lol
This was a secret section of Mario RPG you could only access without Geno in your party. Most people don't know about it!
These retro games feel like a really old-school Game Grumps episode.
At least they don't have to worry about equipping things in this game :D
I've never seen this game, it looks unironically great. For a Nintendo game it's got some fun looking challenges!
"Each hand actually corresponds to each hand" - Egoraptor 2021
“Shoutout to all the American Gladiators wherever you are now.”
Those still alive at least…
(Annnnd I just made myself feel bad.)
I used to be obsessed with the silly screams from this as a kid. My mom always gave me funny looks when I would get excited over hearing them.
Between this and Marble Madness, this is a huge bucket-full of nostalgia. Thanks for this.
I love dans life stories. A lot of them helped me sleep when I couldn’t so thank u. Continue being awesome always
"Program and Design by Incredible Technologies"
The same Incredible Technologies that created the modern masterpiece known as *_Street Fighter: The Movie: The Game!?_*
Neat. I learned something today!
I was just wondering where today’s episode was and then the notification popped up! 🤣
That blinking q-tip is good You're supposed to jump up and catch it in mid-air
Danny describing how happy the game made him was so wholesome.
The Game Grumps are just pounding it.
*slaps fist repeatedly
Pounding it.
Pounding it.
Dan: "Nah I think people who have made it this far are fairly invested!"
Me who has this running as white noise: "Whuzzat now?"
I truly love these NES nostalgia episodes, I’m glad they’re pacing them out with the Mario RPG playthrough
15:21 Best human cannonball ever.
I adored this game as a kid! The 6 year old me was able to get to the third level wall. It gets freaking hard with skinny portions to navigate with precision.
If they could catch the upgrade in joust that would help a lot.
Oh my god YES I was just watching old AG vids! This is amazing!
I watched "Did you point?" Earlier today and then it comes up. The day is blessed.
Michelle! Denny and Arnold are trying to climb a wall...! Hilarious!
You need an Obama account for this to work best, lol
"This is definitely gonna be one of those-" "FUCK!"
That might be the singular most Game Grumps moment ever.
Now...we need to get Arin and Danny on the REAL American Gladiators.
"Welcome to the 10 Minute Power Hour! What are we doing today, Arin?"
Are you ready to see American Gladiator take on 150 lbs of absolute Beefcake?
@@TheEFRoommates Ooo yea, brother!! ~ Hulk Hogan
Danny's NSP costume would fit in pretty well.
@@That_Lady_Charlie omg yes please
I hope there’s some Super Mario RPG tomorrow! I love that play through.
American Gladiators is a glorious childhood memory
That scream when the guy falls off, reminds me of Sonic's werehog scream. 😆
I used to watch the hell out of this show.
Please play this again, this was so amazing, and the music was probably the best thing ever!
I REMEMBER THIS GAME, I'd rent it all the time even though I couldn't figure out how to play it.
The SNES version is better at least graphically, but Arin might get Nickelodeon GUTS war flashbacks playing it.
Dan realizing his costume and catchphrases were inspired by this show. Me who thought that was part of the joke of the comedy band. There is alot of surprises for everybody in this episode.
This game is notoriously hard . bless you guys for taking this on^^
I love how Dan just straight gives up 2/3 of the way through the episode.
aaaand Danny has dodged the super jousting stick that you're supposed to catch lol
it lets you beat the final gladiator in one hit
New favorite quote “ I’m pounding this man, do take that out of context”- Danny 4:00
IF IT GETS IN YOUR EYES ITLL BURN!
We still talking citrus? 🤣
Now that’s a title right there.
I’m loving the retro games. Keep it up!
"What is this feeling?! Is it HAPPINESS?!"
Me too Dan
I always think of Dodgeball when I think back on American Gladiators.
"Allow me the pleasure of introducing you to Blade... Laser... Blazer..."
If emulators are the way to go, i hope the boys start stepping out side their comfort zones and explore other consoles like Sega, PSP, NeoGeo. Its a safe bet Arin has access to all those things.
25:30 I want a compilation of Dan saying "WOO" while doing extremely fatal things in Video Games. Somehow I just am sure that this is not an isolated incident
I love these type of episodes. Old school and awesome.
Ahhh, Saturday mornings: cartoons, WWF, American Gladiators, and…candlepin bowling ( for the New England 80s kids)
I'd love to see the SNES version of this played!!!
I am genuinely surprised that "I'm the Ayatollah of Smackola" never caught on the way "All your base are belong to us" or "Here is a lockpick. It might be handy if you, the master of unlocking, take it with you" did.
I loved the show back when I was a kid, it was so much fun to watch. The reboot just wasn't as good because of how many changes they made to the competition I think. I really loved Powerball the most of the games on the show, it looked like so much fun to do. Running from the basket to try and drop the balls in each goal while the Gladiators stand in the middle bashing you with foam shields to make you drop it or stop you from scoring, all while your opponent does the same on the opposite end. Those guys were no joke to go against.
In case you guys are interested, the passwords are available online so you can skip past to level 2, 3, 4, or start the final level with 10 lives!
I get grumpy when I don't have my daily dose of Grumps.
I never think about gladiators(uk version) these days, but this just brought to mind how much that show affected me as a 6-7 year old kid. My very first time experiencing an interest in music was from the gladiators mix tape. It had artists like Meatloaf, Bonnie Tyler, Green Jelly, Rainbow, Boston, Toto, Bachman Turner Overdrive and a few others I forget. I loved it and listened to it so much the cassette broke. I was so upset I remember crying myself to sleep that night, then coming home from school the next day to see that my dad had repaired it 😄... Also my first crush was Jet 😍
Edit- I actually found a track list. The artists I forgot: Ugly Kid Joe, Europe, Survivor, Free, Snap, Edwin Starr, The Troggs, Warren's World(Queen Medley). I am 100% recreating this compilation as a playlist on Spotify right now. It actually rocks 🤘
BBC just announced last week they're bringing back the UK version of Gladiators (it's third time) so maybe the American will happen again soon too? :P
The Grumps need to play Impossible Mission 2 for the NES. The guy screaming is HILARIOUS!!
Might be good to invest in some usb versions of controllers that Dan is more familiar with, seems like he always mixes up the buttons due to old muscle memory xD
Oh my god, my cousin had this game and we played it every time i went over there. Haven't thought about this one in years! :)
"TWO HUNDRED AND TWENTY POUNDS OF TWISTED STEEL AND SEX APPEAL" -NITRO 30:39
6:42 "If it gets in your eyes, it'll bUrN!!!!"
Now some who've noticed Arin's kinda phlegmy voice, I don't think that you should be grossed out. I for one think they could use this to their advantage sometimes for like, sticky goblin voices or something. I love it, I'm just imagining the humorous opportunities here
Dan was lucky American Gladiators was on in the morning. In St. Louis, it was on after midnight. Luckily, my dad would wake me up so we could watch it.
Rented this game constantly with my older brother. So really awesome memories came back
I love how Arin and Dan simultaneously understood their respective goals clearly and synced to the game and straight up demolished the next round
This game was my JAM in the early 90s
28:40 That moment when Dan thinks Romans are from Romania and somehow part of GREEK Olympic games.
I just... Sometimes dude! Sometimes!
My mum did the storyboards for this game, and actually spoke to Samuel Goldwyn about the graphics! She worked for Imagitech and designed the screenshots sold to game tech. My godfather and some others who did graphics were officially credited, but she wasn't, as storyboarding wasn't as popular in game design at time.
Old person here. The gladiators themselves usually had pro-wrestling style gimmicks/personalities too so,
to the young Lovelies, look up "American Gladiators Malibu injury" and listen to that guy talk, it'll be the first video.
We used to think that was cool.
The Sonic Unleashed scream before Sonic Unleashed
"aauauaaugguhgaauh," says Nitro
I know Dan's not really a gamer, but it still amazes me that he constantly gets confused by two buttons
two is a lot of things to remember
Loved American Gladiators, had a crush for Ice!
Anyone else notice the American Gladiator select icon at the players screen looks like a well packed speedo
I think that flying Q-tip is an upgrade
