Holy shit

And now Egoraptor is removing episodes, sometimes even entire series, with Jon in them. Their Link to the Past playthrough, one of their first, is gone.

This did not end well

i like how he calls it HIS channel

Jesus watching this in 2021 makes me depressed.

"That one didn't age quite so well" -jontron 2019

anyone here in 2021?

Miss og gg

Alas, poor Tronathan; I knew him well...

Only real lovlies know

Whoah this new channel is going to blow up pretty soon

the depresion

Me sad

I remember watching this video multiple times around the time it came out, i really loved the idea that Jon would be doing videos daily (at the time i didn't know arin). 2012 was deffinitly a year to remember for me. I like the Dan/Arin duo, but i do have to say that i somewhat miss the Jon/Arin duo. That's just my opinion though.

Dan > Jon

AWWW SHETTT

Jon got super skinny! also frizzy hair =D

2020 gang

* *

ha but now it’s gone

Well this aged well.

Good times

Arin looks so different

I wonder what Jon thinks of Game Grumps now.

Is anybody still here?

Stanky milk

I really wish I was around when John was originally in game grumps

Old Game Grumps Cast: Jon and Arin
Less Old Game Grumps Cast: Arin, Dan, Ross, Suzy, Barry, and constant grumpcade guests
Current Game Grumps Cast: Dan and Arin, except now it's edited by some rando who doesn't know how to make video titles or thumbnails

Every few months I go back and watch the Goof Troops Let's play, and a couple of Sonic '06 episodes

for people who weren't 7 in 2012, i need to know... how groundbreaking of an announcement was it for jontron, a early-days youtube creator on the rise who reviewed garbage games, and egoraptor, the top creator on newgrounds at the time, to be collaborating like this every day? i've wondered this for so long.

@ImmaLittlePip yeah lol

Dang it's funny how we can tell new grump fans that Arin used to be a animator and it'll shock people

@Samurai Shampoo oh. guess my information was bull. why is everyone calling him a former top creator then? just for extra dramatic flair?

Egoraptor wasnt a "top creator" on newgrounds. He wasn't even all that popular on NOburn either, as by the time Game Grumps came out he stopped doing his animations. JonTron had a lot of subscribers on NOburn even at the time and was likely the biggest pull of an audience.

xmbovlogs woah, thats crazy

This video did not age well.

Before Egoraptor became Arin

Hey did jon change his name to Dan?....and become less funny?

I like 99.9% sure that Jon left game grumps

Never gonna last

A relic of a time long since passed

Still remember it like it was yesterday

That first season outweighs every following one in terms of both quality and content.

I miss jon as NSG 😔

Just goes to show that even the greats can wind up being involved in something terrible.

Hey once upon a time game grumps used to be an enjoyable show

The beginning of a beautiful thing. This should be in a museum

Very surreal watching this 8 years later with game grumps being jon-less and the juggernaut it is now

This is pure, sacred, a relic of a better time.

Sadly it was not to be

Aaaaand then Arin began deleting all the videos that featured Jon in them. What a fuckin dick'ead.

Memories... so many memories...

All these comments about the break up I just wanna know what that background music is

😥

Ib4 Arin tries to delete this video

That's the start of a famous channel

Hes not so much of a grump anymore

Or hes not so grump (i couldnt choose between both of them)

Wow, I kind of love baby Arin here.

Jontron deserves the legal rights to game grumps

Jon said that he doesn’t want to be Associated with game grumps but they are still friend I believe

My god Arin was such a baby

Wow. I never knew Jon was a part of the game grumps (probably cuz I never really watch them), even tho looking at it, it makes total sense.
Ya learn something new everyday :D

The beginning of the end...

I really miss jontron, even though he technically makes videos, they are now just so mediocre and cliche to the point jontron isn't himself anymore. I am sad he left his entire community to be more popular

it's not the fact he switched away from video game content, i mean he still did movie reviews here and there you know. Birdemic, Jurrasic Park 2, Titanic, etc. it's that the way he sets his videos up feels very different compared to the type of videos he was doing from 2011-2016. more reaction-ish, closer to H3H3's old stuff. On top of this there's something different about his humor these days. idk Vanilla Ice marked the official end of Jon's old style, coincidentally also being the last time we ever saw his old intro and all the pixel art aesthetics

@LameDoodler he can do what he wants, I hope he's happy doing what he's doing... But, it doesn't change the fact that I subbed to him for video game content and plenty of other people have done constant gaming content while also doing other things. But he completely quit, which is ultra lame. I hate term "gamer" and the "no true Scotsman" thing... But it makes me feel like he was never a true gamer, lol.

@Zero Black are you kidding? James makes high quality videos to this day, still talks about games, still does AVGN, mostly does movie videos, and has upped his quality. AVGN is better than ever. You're smokin some crack, my dude.

JonTron expanded beyond videogames and that gave him an new breath of fresh air to his career. Look at the AVGN he is so stale that is painful to watch him now. (I dont hate James at all, but the AVGN already ran his course for me)

Sounds cool, can’t wait!

You know they say a lot can happen in about 8 years

Oh wow those nostalgia feels. 7 years ago this video lead me to game grumps, and what amazing joy I've gotten to experience since then.

I'm still so very thankful that JonTron left that completely uninspired let's play channel.

Seeing young Aron scares me

This age so well

God damn

😔

Wooooowwwwww

"EGORAPTOR!!"
"Wait who's that?"
7 years later he asks it unironically maybe probably idk & idgaf

Oof

So JonTron created Game Grumps?..

Yes.

Jon, welcome back, we missed you man.

Jesus watching this in 2020 makes me depressed.

2021

:( 20 December 2020

:( sadness

Then you should politely tell Jesus to stop watching if it makes you feel that way. Being open with those close to you is important, especially in times like these

I've never heard the og intro before so I was VERY caught off guard. And the moment I saw Arin all I thought was "BALD. BALD. BALD" He had such baby face...

Well, I got news for you, spoile alert.

Man what a sell out

It's so weird seeing Arin without any facial hair

Okay, everybody is talking about Jon leaving and how different Game Grumps is without him,, But.



*_LOOK AT ARIN WITHOUT HIS BEARD. I CANT UNSEE THIS-_*

jon please go back, arin pretty much stopped the business stuff and its just a normal thing now. Game Grumps isn't the same without you

Its been seven years dog, something tells me hes not going back

Jon is Dan confirmed.

Of all the videos that’ve been deleted off of Jon’s channel, why is this one still here?

:(

oh woa really

The moment when casually re-positioning Arin walked in front of a talking Jon... That was the first crack of the dam.

WUUHHHH JOHN MADE GAME GRUMPS... WTF HAPPENED TO JOHN IN GAME GRUMPS HE IN NONE OF THE VIDEOS

R/youngpeople

I cared about you jon.

yup...those were good times

I did *not* know that-

i wanna go back

Wait.......... HE WAS?!

It’s been seven years, and I still have no idea what the fuck Arin says at 0:17

"wait who's that?"

Can't wait to subscribe and watch you and egoraptor play games!

So this is where it all started eh? How far we've come....

I had no idea this was a thing lol

I did not know this! Lol.

Press F to pay respects

Now we will take you back to a time which YouTube historians refer to as “The Golden Age”

@Mr. Zacky I've moved on. There's better stuff to watch on NOburn.

@raine happy but now u wake up to some shit vids

There was genuine joy waking up each morning to new episodes. They did not dissapoint.

It all started (and ended) here.

This is awkward

When the legend started

I've only seen Arin once he's started growing some scruff, and he looks so innocent without it.

Dan is best Grump

Day Idk at this point..
Jontron still hasn't returned to gamegrumps.
Already watched all his stuff with Arin a million times over.
Haven't heard a word of him returning in all this time.
Not even a passing comment.
Guys, I don't think he's coming back to the grumps.
Which means it will forever remain a soulless blob of normie injokes and cringey humor void of jontrons presence.
I don't think I'll update the list again guys. Its been over a year since i last did anyway. So to whatever traveler reads this. I hope whatever journey led you here was worth it. And may jontron return to gamegrumps soon. This is me, Logan signing off. See ya space cowboy. Ech......

Surprised Jon hasn’t deleted this yet

Jon stands his ground
