History of Game Grumps

The series was initially started by Jaffari, now known as JonTron, and Arin Hanson, who is an animator. They made their YouTube debut with the video in which they played “Kirby Superstar”, uploaded in late July 2012; according to them, the idea for the show came from their argument regarding a video game character. The duo continued working together until Jaffari departed in late June 2013, to focus on his own show, and in the following period, Dan Avidan – who was a vocalist of Ninja Sex Party – succeeded him, and began co-hosting the series. In late 2013, the team began the series featuring “Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate”, entitled “Hunting Monsters”, and two years after that they made a second installment featuring “Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate”. Additionally, in 2014 the group was joined by Kevin Abernathy, a comic who remained in the series over the course of the next two years, leaving it in 2016, following which Ryan Magee joined the series, as well as Matt Watson, and both of them are still in the team. In early 2015 the group created a new show called “Grumpcade”, to celebrate reaching 2 million subscribers. The cast is often accompanied by other video gamers and YouTubers, such as Markiplier, The Completionist and ProJared. In the following year, Avidan and Hanson appeared at Hollywood Improv, in a special performance of Game Grumps Live, which would air on  March 30 and 31. Subsequently, Avidan and Hanson appeared at Levity live, located in New York and provided more performances of Game Grumps Live there as well. Later on during that year, Game Grumps announced that they would be developing their own video game, and took to Twitter to announce it. In the following period, they released a teaser entitled “Dream Daddy: A Dad Dating Simulator”, and ended up releasing the game itself in late July of the same year. However, soon afterwards Kramer, one of their members, announced that he would be leaving the show to focus on his own career.
