Arin: it's educational Game immediately: he's fuckin lying to you

"Introduce Dan to a 4 year old horror game he knows nothing about" is my absolute FAVORITE kind of Grumps episode.

I love how Arin tries the usual "Fool Dan into thinking this game is anything but a horror game" razzle-dazzle on Dan only for the game to immediately go "Yeah, no this is a horror game" on the first screen.

the game ratting out arin immediately kills me

I can't believe Dan can't hear the tone Arin has when he's in full Gaslight mode after all these years.

There's nothing funnier to me then Dan, a man in his mid-forties, saying "I hate detention" with all the hate and vitriol of a highschool boy who was just picked up by his mother from his after school stay

One thing I love about Baldi's basics is how quickly yet seamlessly it transitions from a edutainment game, to a horror game, to a rage game.

The disappointment in Arin's voice when the game straight up admits that it's a horror game right off the bat.

Arin: this is an old educational game The game: this is a horror game and is NOT educational

Nothing like a classic scare-Dan-with-an-unsuspecting-horror-video-game on a Thursday morning!

Arin never quite grasps that "No running in the halls" means don't run when you're near the principal.

Arin saying “let me cook” has the same feel as your dad trying to be relatable to you and I love it

Me: I cant wait for Dan to slowly realize this is a horror game! 😊 Game in the first 10 seconds: This is a Horror Game.

Arin: "it's an educational game." The game: *_"That's a fucking lie."_*

I love it that they’re trying to figure out who’s saying “gotta sweep” when it’s actually the broom saying it.

You just know that Arin was pissed about the horror spoiler at the beginning 😆

a truly good and nice thing about Dan is how willing he is to understand why people might like things

1:59 I love Arin trying to play dumb, only for the game to immediately call him out

The "sweep sweep sweep" guy sounds like he was legit voiced by Arin

Fun fact, the game saying "I CAN HEAR BAD MATH" is not a joke. When you collect the note book and do the glitch problem, he picks up on where it was

Someday Arin's going to actually find a completely normal edutainment/FPS/dating game and Dan will have cried wolf himself into thinking something's going to happen the entire time, even when nothing does

Dan whimpering the Principal's Whistle is adorable, that damn whistle is so catchy you can't help but repeat it endlessly

Arin making Dan sit trough these games is his very specific brand of sadism

As someone who's worked at Target during the peak of this game's popularity, I can confirm they sold Bladi toys during that time

This was all an elaborate plan for Arin to prove he knows basic math.

This really takes me back to the good old days of Game Grumps. Dan Avidan vs. A nightmare horror game creature. And this time, it's the most brutal teacher on the planet. Poor guy, he had no idea what he was up against.

I love the sound design in this game. So unnerving.

I like that the game didn't let Arin even start the bit of "oh no this is just an old game"

Gotta love how Arin's first instinct is to run INTO arm's reach of Baldi whenever he enters the room. 😅

I love how the game opens with an explicit text warning about how it is a horror game and not actually nostalgic educational software, which Dan read, out loud, *to Arin,* and Arin still kept up his gimmick of trying to gaslight Dan into thinking it wouldn’t be a horror game.

Well…it’s not a Game Grumps episode without Dan getting jumpscared every two minutes :DDDDD (I don’t like horror games, but seeing the boys play them makes the experience 1,000,000 times better.)

The moment Arin said “so this is an old game” I immediately knew what was going on

Idk if they will read this for next time but I'll put it here anyways. The quarters can be used on vending machines (right click while having it selected) Blue Sodas can be used to block/push baldi if he gets too close Scissors are used on the jump rope girl, as soon as she catches you and forces you to play, that's the opportunity to use it and snap her rope. Chocolate bar instantly refills your energy bar For the characters: Principal doesn't catch you if you aren't running, using soda, eating chocolate and entering the faculty room on his line of sight The one on wheels (forgot his name) is friendly, you can use him to push you around at surprising speed through the halls. (If he pushes you to a window in a room, you'll instantly bust through, but at a cost of Baldi hearing that) The bully will only serve as blocking your path and will never move unless a long period of time has passed, the principal is nearby to catch him, or you sacrifice an item (this is randomized for whatever he takes) Sweep guy is not a threat, he simply drags everyone around if they are caught (Unless you're very unlucky for him to bring baldi extremely close to you or if he takes you straight to him.) I may have forgotten a few stuff but yeah it's pretty much it so far at least

Well this is a throwback, I'm here for it!

Wait, REALLY?! I thought for SURE they'd played this. It feels so perfectly grumps-catered. I'm glad we have it now!

I honestly want them to continue playing this so they can see the true horror part.

No way! The memories are pouring in. Can’t wait to see how traumatized this will make Dan 😅

Dan playing cult classic indie horror games is my favorite genre of grumps upload.

Thinking about how my boss' daughter absolutely LOVED Baldi's Basics, and her dad reached out to the guy who voiced Baldi and actually got a personal message from the guy for her birthday. I thought it was really sweet!

I WAS NOT EXPECTING THIS AT ALL 🎉🎉🎉 I would LOVE more of these types of videos where Dan is introduced to an internet-iconic game that he’s never heard of/played, especially if they’re horror games. You guys never played the original Slender together, right? 👁️👁️

Arin: How do I use items? What are they for? Also Arin: *ignores the "How to Play" button multiple times* Same old Arin.

14:53 Arin once again proves to have impeccable timing for saying shit lol

I bet seeing arin playing jumprope with the safety scissors selected was painful for others too. classsiiiccc~

Oh Dan... 😂 I feel sorry when he have this unexpexted horror but it's always so fun to see his reactions.

we need more of this, I mean Arin and Dans reaction to what the sock puppet actually does alone is why we need more

Arin trying to gaslight Dan into thinking it's an educational game only for the game itself to be like "btw I'm a horror game" is hilarious

Dan's immediate mood change when it says it's a horror game

"Gotta sweep sweep sweep" sounds like Arin making the Joke Yoda impression.

If Arin didn't exchange that quarter for those safety scissors, he might have mathematically had a 25% chance of winning this game in a clean sweep, sweep, sweep.

This might be my favorite parody horror game, reminds me of the typing computer games I used to play as a kid lmao

haven't heard about ol' baldi in a while. feels good to be back

arin and dan completely overlooking the room with all the character descriptions and lore on the walls is SO typical game grumps it hurts 22:55 "oh this is helpful!" JESUS CHRIST

I'm routinely surprised by the quality of games GG ends up producing. Homebody looks sick

The evolution of Dan from "I'm not having a good time' to "I love it" is a JOURNEY

Dan being completely dumbfounded after the first jumpscare is gold

Another gaslight Dan episode! NICE!

If you guys end up trying this again, I have one main tip for you, please stop running in front of the Principal of the Thing like guys why do they think you are being sent to detention? Something else is that Baldi gets faster with each question you get wrong, meaning ever notebook after the first makes him more angry, and he does in fact hear when you open doors I also suggest you turn on captions, it makes it so you can more easily tell where Baldi and the others are since the point to where the sound is coming from

i love how amongst all the game they play, chicken in the darkness is the one that sticks. Also tungulus. But that game is legend.

I swear the sweeper is doing an Arin Hanson impression.

Nothing to do with this episode, just mentioning that I'm not the only one who wants another round of Billion Road. It was such a fun series, and deserves another play

I cannot describe the joy I felt when Dan mentioned that deepfake of Arnold, I love that video so damn much lol

Never heard of this game, so initially I thought they were doing a goofy cold open. Didn't realize that was a trailer for Homebody, that looks extremely fun!

love how arin keeps opening the detention door for no reason other than to let baldi know where he is

I came into this having no idea what it was, heard the way Arin was talking about it with Dan on the first screen, and knew IMMEDIATELY that it would be a horror game

I love how Arin giggles every time he hears “SWEEP SWEEP SWEEP”

If Baldi wasn't holding the yellow numbers, it would seem like Dan was a robot recalibrating himself with a code lol

love how not even 10 minutes into the game and dan is already being haunted by the whistling in his head

The game trailer in the beginning looks amazing 🎉

watching this game again after so long is a good feeling. especially when they haven't yet seen some of the scariest parts about the game and had no idea how to use the items.

this is gonna be one hell of a ride for dan

Baldi: *moving at slowest speed possible* Dan and Arin: *Running frantically in circles in front of Baldi without actually getting any farther away from him* DEAR GOD HE'S SO FAST!!! You guys never fail to entertain XD

Oh yeah baby I'm ready for this , a classic game with the boys

Dan: is this an old game? Well I mean, it came out like, 5ish years ago so that's ancient in indie game time.

This game always gives me strong vibes of 2009 second grade Windows XP educational games, except much more unsettling. It's so nostalgic yet horrifying. A Tux Paint nightmare if you will

Dan after 2 notebooks: "He's so fast!" Oh Dan if only you knew...

Arin asking the universe how to use items and *IMMEDIATELY* skipping the How to Play option KILLS ME! 😭 Edit: Upon further inspection, he did in fact look! *The game simply doesn’t say anything about items until after he gets the quarter* 😭

I really want them to play facade. I hope people remember it lol

Hearing Arin and dan saying let me cook is a god send

I hope this isn't a one off, I forgot about how much of a silly and honestly kinda charming game this is. I haven't watched this channel in ages but this was reccomend to me and holy moly what a fantastic time I had.

omg yes!! GameGrumps playing random popular games that had their moment years ago on the internet! my favorite

i really do hope they play homebody thru after a while. i cant really play horror games myself but i love watching them

Loved when AH played this a while ago (Michael as Baldi: "What.") Very happy to see Dan and Arin experience it!

As someone who's epileptic himself (not photosensitive though) I really appreciate you taking the extra notice to reduce the flashing images for those watching. Although I may be "lucky" in terms of my epileptic triggers, many others aren't. So thanks.

I need Dan to be introduced to more old horror games that he hasn’t played before

Never played this game, but I love That there appear to be hints everywhere they just refuse to notice lol.

You guys should make a playlist seeing how many unsuspecting horror games you can get Dan to play

I haven't watched Game Grumps in a year and now I'm high watching it and the opening scene to this video made me question my sanity. I was like. This is NOT Baldi's Basics!

Arin: No, his ruler is far away Also Arin: _Immediately finds Baldi a second after he said that_ 14:55

Arin really needs to work on his "fake Dan out" voice.

I like to think that the spirit of Dan “THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS IN DOKI DOKI LITERATURE CLUB??” Game Grumps came to Dan at the perfect moment so that he wouldn’t go blind into another horror game

Nothing will replace the shock and awe I felt to see a baldis basics play through that was out out 15 hours ago

Watching them jump rope while they have the scissors selected is just painful.

i love when they play these games since they actually are engaged unlike AAA games where they just talk and dont pay attention

I recommend getting Homebody even if you are not that into the game just so game grumps keeps financing games

Dan: it’s potentially educational! The game immediately: This is a horror game and is not educational

I am convinced Arin tells Dan to close his ewes so he chooses the weirdest horror games

I was curious how long ago did this game come out since they said it was old It came out 5 years ago! Where's my cane

I honestly would love to see more of this!

It's also weird seeing the titles of youtube change over the years, from Let's Play to "game Part 1" to "a full on sentence about how somnething is happening you can't believe what happens next"

I wonder if Arin will ever not be in a hurry to fail the second notebook. I assume you can actually do other stuff before triggering the chase.
