Game Grumps is a Youtube comedy channel born out of the duo of Egoraptor, a manchild reminiscent of a post-surgery Michael Jackson, who is famed for making cartoons and submitting them to newgrounds, and his neckbearded and slightly younger peon, Jon Tron, who himself is famed for his own youtube channel, whose comedic style relies heavily on spastic post-production editing rather than actual talent.
Game Grumps uploads videos daily, and carries with it many characteristics and features of a Let's Play video series on Youtube, however, the two have stated, numerous times, that none of their series are of the Let's Play variety. This is likely to be a desperate attempt to escape the stigmatization and pigeonholing that many Let's Players seem to face.
Porn
The main function of the Game Grumps channel is to supply fodder for various works of marvelous art. In just over a month since the channel's creation, fans have created many works of art, shipping the two in any and every way way possible.
Opinions
As well as being a haven for shippers, Game Grumps has also proven to be a bastion of controversial opinion. Jon Tron, in particular, has seen it fit to unload all of his legitimate opinions on video; these include his shameless liking of Nickelback, and his questionable appreciation of Charlie Sheen and Dane Cook. He also has the propensity to find faults in the most insignificant things and proceed to bitch about them for 10 minutes. Following a slew of Youtube users questioning Jon's intelligence, Jon Tron has claimed that he isn't stupid, and that he's only acting. However, what he fails to realize is that people don't think he's stupid because of his schtick, but because of the aforementioned.
Humor
The question of whether or not Game Grumps is supposed to be funny still remains. While the two spend a lot of the duration of their videos giggling like a pack of trampled hyenas, it still remains to be seen what's so funny. We're not even sure that the laughs are legitimate or that they're just laughing at each other's poor jokes out of politeness.
Their humor can involve observational humour, in which one of them says "Oh hey, doesn't X look like Y", and in spite of the tenuous correlation between X and Y, the two still laugh hysterically.
The two are also partial to non sequitur style humor. In this style, the duo have attempted to coin their own meme-- seven asses, which was born out of the following context :
Egoraptor : "How much ass do you think Megaman gets?"
Jon Tron : "1,2,3,4,5,6...7; seven asses."
The hilarity of this exchange speaks for itself.
Of course, their fans have committed themselves to spamming various websites, including /v/, in an attempt to make this meme widespread. Fortunately, it never took off, as forced memes never do. Unless of course, Reddit gets a hold of them.

Drugs
The two have been accused of being under the influence while recording, however the two have outright denied these claims during their Mega Man 7 series. And we totally believe them.
