Underrated element of this clip: the thumbnail makes me grin like a doofus every time i see it

I know very little about Smashing Pumpkins, but I know alot about their album Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness

I watch plenty of GG, but I still probably wouldn't do well on a trivia game about them... HOWEVER, one thing I DO know is Arin's favorite album.

I had to double check. I gaslit myself. I was thoroughly convinced "Bullet With Butterfly Wings" and "Zero" were from an earlier album. Nope, they're from "Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness," Arin's favorite album by The Smashing Pumpkins, it's a double album.

OK but all jokes aside that album is amazing.

The funniest thing about this video to me is that this video got me to listen to Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness, which is now my favorite album

More of a Siamese Dream fan if I’m being honest…

this is one of those Grumps bits that had me laughing so hard i wouldn't have minded if they continued the bit for the next forty minutes

one of the few places where i don't have to explain my name

Even when it's a joke, Dan breaking out into song always makes me happy and warms my cold heart.

Why does it sound like Dan grabbed Arin and shook him before screaming in his face: "BECAUSE IT'S YOUR FAVORITE!!!"

Using this clip, and that exact moment of "BECAUSE IT'S YOUR FAVORITE!", I'd love to see an animation of this bit by one if the OG animators of GG moments.

So glad so many more people are coming to this clip because Arin has embraced his love for his favorite album, Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness

More like Melon Collie and the Infinite Radness.

bro you LOVE IT

Dan feels like he's visiting a relative with Alzheimers or dementia, talking to Arin in this clip. is Arin ok?

Mellon Collie is my favorite fruit dog species

and weeeeeeee don't even care to make progress in the game cause my friend forgot how much he likes this album

Love this bit

it's not gaslighting if it's fucking _true,_ arin

Was on a 12 hour drive the first time I heard this bit 😂

This clip is desperately missing him resigning to the bit and the editor throwing in a "I'm really into Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness" randomly into the video (from a request to do so)

I would watch Danny put together a Rush album tier list.

Hi everybody coming back today for no specific reason

This one has to be one of my favorite bits. Dan just interrupting and talking over him every time

3:24 B e _c ause iT’S Y _*_OUR FAVORITE!!!!_* 3:26

The only I could think through this whole bit was "I thought his favorite band was Jamiroquai..." then I realized it was a bit... And slow lost my mind laughing

Arin has jamnesia

i love that album. an album that arin has DEFINITELY listened to is August and Everything After by Counting Crows

It’s a good fuckin album, i can see why it’s his favorite album of all time

This is my all time favorite GG bit. The small portion of beautiful Dan vocals are a cherry on the gaslighting cake.

1:39 dans acting here was spot on

I love literally everything about this.

This literally was my fav album in the 90s and recently i saw a mellon collie T-shirt at Target, when I laughed at it, my wife gave me the concerned eyes.

This is really on of their funniest bits up there with the subway rant and mark Zuckerberg and the preeminent expedition to mount everest

No that's Oingo Boingo

I wonder how much of a grump bump this album got from this bit?

Just one of those jokes that wears you down until you can’t stop laughing.

This is absolutely Dan getting revenge for the Great Depeche Mode Debacle. It’s also very on par with Thank God fish aren’t into cash, for me.

This may be the best lets play Game Grump moment of the last few years

"it's not *gaslighting* , i'm fucking trying to help you" is such a powerful statement

This may be one of Dan's funniest bits

I think why this bit worked so good is because "Mellon collie and the infinite sadness" is not only something that gets funnier the more it is said but also because I don't really know smashing pumpkins so the album sounds incredibly mediocre to me

This was payback for the adventure of a lifetime bit in Sonic frontier

i love that it's finally canon

I don't know why this completely nonsensical bit is so funny to me. I think it might be because it's such an Arin move, but Dan's doing it. And Arin is just ignoring it. But Dan is determined.

I would genuinely love an episode of Dan ranking every single Rush album.

"What's your favorite Game Grumps bit, Billy?" "I really like--" "And why is it the one where Dan gaslights Arin about liking Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness for a looong time?" "I--that's not my favorite bit, it's the one--" "What are you talking about? You told me just yesterday! You said you loved the part where Arin was like 'Can you imagine if you were this amazing friend for fifteen years and then you just decided to gaslight me over a Smashing Pumpkins album?' " "...I'm pretty sure that's not exactly how the line go--" "See, you know it so well! Because it's your favorite!"

This is my favorite bit and wish to see more of it

"why does that sound like something i know?" "bECAUSE ITS YOUR FAVORITE!!!!!"
