I've had a chat with Barry on Skype. He's a real person. Nice guy, too.

I just love all of the Kirby skits and some of the more obscure games they've done. Do not much care for Sonic or much else.

Do you know if he actually edits their stuff by chance?

I would hope he does...

I'm pretty sure he does. He even had a Q&A a while back on reddit I think.
And yeah he is a real dude. He's even appeared in a recent Sonic 06' episode and appears in some of PBG's Hardcore series.
I didn't think he was real at first either... Also it took me awhile to realize when they talk about "The Goose" they mean Suzie for some reason?

Barry in Game Grumps

I didn't think he was real at first either... Also it took me awhile to realize when they talk about "The Goose" they mean Suzie for some reason?

They also called him up during their panel at Magfest:

To me, their lets plays were a breath of fresh air from what I've seen on YouTube. Don't get me wrong, Seananners and TotalBiscuit are awesome(for some examples), but hearing JonTron and Egoraptor do impressions and make hilarious jokes just sold it for me. I love their show and will always be a fan. I give em' a TENOUTTATEN!

I'll be honest. It doesn't take much for me to like stuff, and Game Grumps is one of the things that I like.

End of point.

I have to admit, though, it has a lot to do with Two Best Friends. They are exactly what I'm looking for in LPers and I unsubscribed to a lot of them because I didn't find them as funny. I'm really close to even not watching The Runaway Guys anymore.

I connect to Two Best Friends more than Game Grumps. Mainly with what they talk about and that they know more about gaming than Game Grumps. But Game Grumps is good for mindless fun. The rivalry and comparison between the two fanbases is pathetic though.

I've watched a few of their videos, but they haven't really drawn me in. Any particularly good videos of theirs I should watch?

Last night we watched The Lion King... And it got me thinking, that Jon and Arin are actually pretty much just slightly altered versions of Timon and Pumbaa... Arin being Timon, Jon being Pumbaa.

Been a fan since the start. I also got to like JonTron through Game Grumps cause at first I didn't know him but now he and EgoRaptor are my favorites. I really enjoy their Mario Party videos. I really enjoyed Sonic 06 and their Game Grumps VS. One of the most funniest moments from them was when they were playing Family Feud and EgoRaptor put CD Player and the result came out as Model Car.

NO I DON'T LIKE JONTRON AND/OR EGORAPTOR AT ALL MOVING ON!

Jon's mom is hilarious.
