>>31226395Good two-man comedy revolves around having a funny guy who does wacky shit and a straight man who sits there and acts like a normal human being.
In Jon Grumps, Jon is wacky, singing and dancing and joking, and Aring gets to go "Dude what" and Jon can play off him. It's a textbook dynamic.
In Dan Grumps, Dan is like 200% chill (His blood is probably 30% THC at any one time) so Arin has to play the role of silly goofus. He can't, so he fell back on poopy butt dick peepee jokes. That attracted the 12 year old audience and that's what Game Grumps is to this day.
I like Dan's stories and enjoy his early episodes, but after the first 6 months or so he kinda ran out. I don't blame him, you can't sit there and tell a story about your life every day for three years and not either repeat or stop, but he still has little else to add to the show.
