I just watched the movie this game is based on with my son a few months ago so when they joked about Huxley's chopper all I was thinking was: "You got to be kidding me that you dont know who HUXLEY is! He is the terror of Grouchland!" Then I remembered I was a grown man and had to reconsider my priorities.

I have a sneaking suspicion these two grown men have never watched the masterpiece that is Elmo in Grouchland.

I LOVED the movie this was based on as a kid! Elmo loses his blanket in Grouch Land, he tries to find it, random music video montage, and getting it back from the only human living in Grouch Land for some reason Good times!

Yeah, I noticed that "few phones in movies" thing a while back. Mostly because I noticed how much of traditional movie plot is two characters simply not being able to communicate found information with each other. Like a WHOLE movie can be about two people trying to contact one another, or all conflict hinges on two characters just missing one another. Mobil technology has kind of killed 50% of the easiest plot devices and writers clearly aren't up to the challenge of coming up with new ideas.

Fun Fact regarding writers deliberately not adding cell phones...cell phones are famously hard for the prop department and editors to coordinate on. Green screening to make sure the phone screen has what is intended to be there is time consuming, and is even more so when people have different phones. It's easiest if writers omit the the use of phones completely.

Does anybody else think the title screen music sounds like Death by Glamour from Undertale?

I had an Elmo Number game on GBC, and it had WAY more than the alphabet one! It was space themed with more than one game and more music. If memory serves me right, it involved Elmo with stars, rockets, searchlights, the moon, jetpacks, UFO's etc. You chose games on a staircase just like the alphabet game, and they share the same game selection song. That's honestly the most nostalgic part to me. And thanks to the opening cutseen of a space craft droppong Elmo off at Sesame St., then he hovers a few times with his jetpack, for a while I thought Elmo was a space alien all along!

I loved this movie growing up! We had it on DVD and I watched it repeatly with my little sister. I feel like if i watched it again as an adult I'm going to see its actually terrifying

"....loves his blanket more *then* anything...." Ah, that gives me a good indication of the the quality of this game - love these weird little games!

22:25 Google Kevin Clash, the voice of Elmo for almost 30 years and that's why they discontinued him for a spell, but they didn't get rid of Elmo entirely.

I like how the Elmo in Grouchland ignores the entire moral of the movie which is about sharing.

This was my game when I was a kid. I would play and replay this all the time. Loved it and am so happy to see the Grumps play this!

Flashbacks to the absolute banger Elmo in grouchland movie

Now I kinda want to watch elmo in grouch land, there's lore I'm missing here.

OMG!!!!! you guys just reawakened hidden memories. I used to play elmo in grouchland all the time as a kid

My God Arins Elmo voice is INSANELY good

Elmo and grouchland is still one of my favorite movies. I was so excited to see this!

Guys the iPhone didn’t come out until 2007. We were still using flip phones and regular button phones with basic text functionality in 2003. It had nothing to do with an effort to keep smartphones out of movies it’s just 21 years old

Elmo seems like such a chad, walking with that hammer with that bass-y GameBoy music.

I didn’t know that Huxley was Elmo’s arch nemesis.

Danny, 2003 was 2 decades ago. Smartphones really weren't a thing until 2007 and no one would be using the camera for another decade for anything important.

So here's the really weird thing: Jingleheimer Junction (the SNL video Danny's talking about toward the end of the episode) JUST came up on my recommended list yesterday ^.^

The skit dan talks about near the end is Jingleheimer Junction

I loved the movie Elmo in Grouchland! I had it on VCR.

As soon as Dan started mentioning the Will Ferrell sketch, I knew EXACTLY what he was talking about- it's freaking hilarious!

Because I laughed so hard at Dan's description of the SNL skit, I looked up "Jingleheimer Junction". I then learned that the musical guest for that particular SNL show was none other than The Smashing Pumpkins. And in 1998, not long after they'd produced Arin's favourite album Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness.

"it was only 2003!" That was 21 years ago, Dan, TWENTY ONE YEARS AGO... I know. It hurts. Everything hurts 🥺

Oh my god...the jump sound and how floaty it is. How the health bar looks. Some of the sound effects and music... Elmo in Grouchland is just a reskin of Maui Mallard/Cold Shadow for gameboy. My mind is blown

1:19 NO! They used "then" instead of "than"! THE GRAMMATICAL MISTAKES!😭

Why Muppets and Sesame Street games always look so good

Ah yes, the sesame Street game with grimace, my favorite!

im not joking when i say the grumps playing old obscure games like this is so important for games preservation

"Elmo loves his blanket more THEN anything"??? c'mon... Seseme St. of all things!

Elmo juggling looks like he ripped out peoples eyes and they are still bloody with the optic nerve still attached

OH MY WORD, I WAS LITERALLY JUST LOOKING UP OLD SESAME STREET GAMES FOR NOSTALGIA'S SAKE BEFORE I NOTICED THIS UPLOAD! I think I've watched this channel so much that the Grumps and I are now officially on the same wavelength

18:00 Oh hey Big Zan!
