Game Grumps: YMNK #6

SECOND ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE DAY: You May Not Know will now be a by-weekly series. I'm going to try and update it every other week, but no promises. I have a ton of ideas and I'll probably need two weeks to get my thoughts together. With that out of the way, today's YMNK is on a new game commentary series on Youtube that has become the fastest growing series on the site. This is..

 Game Grumps is a video game commentary series made and featuring the voices of notorious animator Egoraptor, and star of the web series JonTron,..JonTron! The idea being that Egoraptor is grump, JonTron is not so grump, and they're the game grumps. Not really, the real reason is that they're friends in real-life and their only real interaction with each other is whenever that have a game the other hasn't played before. So they decided to record themselves playing games and talkin' bout'em. Now, JonTron is known for his obnoxious, random humor that I and many other people love. Egoraptor is known for his obnoxious, random, animated humor that I and many other people also love. What happens when you combine the two? Comedy gold. I swear, every single episode I laugh until I can't breath and my face is soaking with tears.

 So far, they've started 5 games and update twice a day. Their most recent game was Pokemon: Emerald, which had probably one of the funniest jokes in Game Grumps short history. So in Pokemon games, you can name your character. When you do anything or talk to someone, your name appears in the text box. For example, if you catch a Pokemon it'll say "JOE caught of Pokemon!". So what you can do in these games is put a phrase as your name, like "Um, She" so when you catch a Pokemon it'll say "Um, She caught a Pokemon". So Jon decided to name the character "Fuck, I", this leads to some of the funniest lines is history.

If your show has a pony parody, you've made it.

 This series started back in mid-July, and already it has a huge fan following, with fan pages, fan art, remixes,  4 million total views on Youtube, and just to prove how far they've made it, a version with ponies. This isn't too surprising, seeing as how Egoraptor and JonTron have a huge and devoted fan following, but what's amazing is that this all happened in under a month.
