My apologies. Michael Jackson was a pop singer in the 80's and 90's who eventually became an infamous eccentric millionaire from the money he earned from his very popular music career. Among the long list of "crazy" things attributed to the man was a monkey he apparently owned named Bubbles. And so it fell into the pop-culture lexicon of the day that whenever someone was described as a crazy rich guy, often the humorous implication of monkey-ownership followed.

quote:

Shortly afterward, in December 2003, it was claimed that Bubbles had attempted suicide.

This loving chimp, man.

On an unrelated note, have you ever heard of Polygrumps? It stands out as a crowning jewel of creepiness to me.

If you don't know what it is, let noted literary resource TV Tropes explain:

Trivia: Game Grumps posted:

* Many fans assumed Suzy would be creeped out by Polygrumps, a Tumblr wall dedicated to erotic fanfiction and images of all members of the Game Grumps, including her, having sex in all combinations. Instead, she encouraged it, said she found it hilarious, and as long as it doesn't affect her personal life it's okay. She then instagramed this image for the fans.
* Polygrumps is followed up on in ''FireRed'' Part 28, where it turns out Arin is also completely fine with it (and both loves seeing pictures with him with other men and with him and Suzy). In fact, the only person mentioned to be even slightly uncomfortable with Rule 34 is Danny, who goes back and forth on the matter before deciding to accept it because it makes the fans happy.

...Yeah. What else can I say, really?

(Oh, and apologies if this has been mentioned before. I haven't trawled the entire thread.)

I can't tell if this sort of stuff is just some weird artifact of the Internet fame thing done as a terrible joke or if it's the work of legitimate deranged perverts. Even more depressingly, I can't decide which possibility is worse.

Wait wait, my mistake. I just looked it up for myself and it's not as bad as it sounds guys.

It's actually a wiki that collects and rates feet and hers is just one of many, many, many pages. So she doesn't have her own website, just her own article of constantly updated and rated foot pictures.

False alarm, guys.

Don't make me go back there. Just go to the foot wiki yourself and have a blast jackin it.

On non-fetish related discussion, have the Game Grumps ever done any videos with just one person instead of a duo or group?

Not really, Jon and Arin acknowledged like right from the get go that there was porn of them and they think it is genuinely hilarious and really who can blame them? What kind of weirdo draws porn of real life people having sex with video game characters-slash-each other, why would you not laugh at that

Yeah, if you use premiere to edit your videos, Barry's editing thing is a pretty good look into the process of someone who does it "for a living" quote unquote:

So apparently there was some big stink where Gamegrumps namedropped someone in an episode, unironically told people to send them hatemail, took the episode down and reuploaded it overdubbed with "PIZZA!".
All this because that person wrote a "bad" Sonic guide in 2004 for a part of the game that's completely randomized.
Man this is loving ridiculous.

Arin said this before the episode was taken down. People on the internet are lovely.



Here is Dan's comment on the matter after it went back up.... to which the guide's original writer responded!




See, this is why slowbeef and diabetus don't mention the names of the people involved in their retsupuraes anymore.

At least I'm glad it ended amicably. It seems having to manage your big fanbase is something that doesn't really occur to people, like that time someone linked a charity stream and the streamer freaked out.

that's a pretty hilariously unfair telling of what happened, they thought the walkthrough was funny in how low-effort it was and gave out the name so people could see they weren't making it up. iirc they even specifically told people not to harrass him but welp youtube commenters
