Commentary[]
“Arin: Welcome!
Danny: Oh God yes!
Arin: To Shovel Knight!
Danny: Fuck yeah.
Arin: I’ve been waiting for this moment my whole life!
Danny: Have you?
Arin: Yes. Well, since it was announced.
Danny: *laughs* I love the fuckin’ theme music.
Arin: Oh, I know. Dude, that’s-that’s my boy. That’s Jake Kaufman. Jake Burt Kaufman.
Danny: Jake Kaufman! Probably Jewish!
Arin: Yo, so Jewish, dawg!
Danny: Oh, man.
Arin: And he’s got a Jewish dog!
Danny: *laughs*
Arin: Named Nugget. He’s a good guy.
Danny: Sweet.
Arin: *deciding on character name* What’s our name?
Danny: Uh, that’s your call, man. This is your game.
Arin: Beenis. *laughs*
Danny: *laughs* Off to an amazing start.
Arin: *In an accent* Beenis.
Danny: Do it, Beenis.
Arin: I want to touch your beenis.
Danny: Eyy, you can’t just come in and touch my beenis.
Arin: ‘Course I can, I’m going to touch your beenis.
Danny: That’s not cooool. *reading the in-game text* Long ago, the lands were untamed and roamed by legery reve-
Arin: *laughs* Tell us more, Rocco!
Danny: Okay! Of all heroes, none shone brighter, than shovel knigh shield knigh.
Arin: They’re very shiny. They’re get their armor shined at the local market.
Danny: But their travels together ended at Tower of Fate. When a curse amulet wrought a- *mumbles*
Arin: Oh no! The magic is terrible.
Danny: Terri-bleh. When Shovel Knight awoke, the tower was sealed and Shield Knight was *gasps* Gone.
Arin: Shield Knight was gone.
Danny: Shield Knight was gone.
Arin: That’s the love of his life!
Danny: Oh no! Spirit broken, a grieving Shovel Knight went into a life of solitude.
Arin: *laughs* Heh, he’s just digging.
Danny: That’s so sad!
Arin: At least he’s doing what he loves.
Danny: Yeah…
Arin: But then…
Danny: Without champions, the land was seized by a vile power: The Enchantress and her Order of no Quarter.
Arin: The Order of no Quarter.
Danny: Oh, damn. Do you think, that-
Arin: Gumball machine.
Danny: Ohh…
Arin: What do I think what?
Danny: Oh, uh… now the tower is unsealed and devastation looms. A new adventure is about to begin!
Arin: OH MY GOD!
Danny: Let’s fucking do it!
Arin: So what do I think?
Danny: Uh, do you think it’s too much of a Ross joke if I say he lives by the code of shovelry? *quietly laughs* Dammit! *laughs*
Arin: That was just a good joke. *mumbles*
Danny: Oh, yay! Thank you.
Arin: Doesn’t matter who makes it.
Danny: It was just that you were taking a sip from, uh…
Arin: From a tea?
Danny: Yeah, that’s why you weren’t able to, uh, to give the amazing laughter that- what the fuck am I looking at right now?
Arin: Heh, okay, this is-this is, I’m a Shovel Knight! That’s my power: the shovel.
Danny: Oh, oh. I remember. Yeah, yeah. Okay.
Arin: I get to dig up things. That’s my power. And I can also go- I can also go boink! *bounces on enemy and laughs* With my shovel, like DuckTales! You remember that game?
Danny: Yes, yes, I do.
Arin: The one that crashed on us?
Danny: I remember how it fuckin’ freezed up on us.
Arin: Heh heh, yeah. This is currently my favorite game of all time.
Danny: Oh, this is great! So, alright. You use your shovel for bouncing, for bashing, for killing, for digging…
Arin: Uh, pretty much everything. Yeah, yeah. Shovel-The shovel’s the number one tool. *gets hit by bubble in-game* Ow.
Danny: Oh. Dude, did you just get injured by a bubble?
Arin: Well… *laughs*
Danny: Weird.
Arin: It’s a bubble made of like- acid rain.
Danny: It’s just farts. AHH!
Arin: *laughs*
Danny: Lose half a heart.
Arin: It just pops and you’re like… *breathes in* UGH! *both Arin and Danny laugh*
Danny: That’s… that’s a shame. Ah, this is cool, man!
Arin: Yeah, I-I know. I know. I like how the duck is just bending my legs, so I- This was totally intentional, I’m sure it was. Like, there’s no duck, there’s just- *shows off the crouch animation*
Danny: Heh! *laughs*
Arin: So you can do it with the music! *crouches several more times*
Danny: *laughs* Yeah! Now we’re partying! I also like that sky. Oh, well, it’s gone now. *sees dragon miniboss* Hey, buddy!
Arin: It’s a giant dragon!
Danny: Awwwww…
Arin: And he’s gonna die.
Danny: He’s got very severe scoliosis.
Arin: Ehhh! Oh yeah, he totally does! His spine!
Danny: Yeah, he’s like: ‘I’m just gonna shoot out three, harmless bubbles.’
Arin: Heh, Bleh.
Danny: *laughs*
Arin: Bleh. I’m out. I’m outta bubbles.
Danny: Just kidding they’re filled with dragon farts!
Arin: *laughs and makes an odd noise* You’d think if dragons were real that would be like a problem.
Danny: Dragon farts?
Arin: Oh, yeah! Because they like breathe fire and everything and it’s like, ‘Oh no dragons are coming!’ But like, if they show up and they don’t- and they’re harmless, but then they fart.
Danny: I was at- at a, um… eh, at the museum, uh, the dinosaur exhibit, a couple weeks ago. And, uh, there was a thing there about how dinosaur gas- like when the dinosaurs got so huge in the Jurassic Period that, um, they were just unleashing, like, ungodly apatosaurus farts.
Arin: *laughs*
Danny: That, it actually changed the, um, uh… the temperature of the earth.
Arin: Whaat?
Danny: Yeah, yeah. Yeah.
Arin: No…
Danny: S-sure, methane gas, like, being excreted at an extremely high rate?
Arin: Wow.
Danny: By thousands of gigantic creatures? Well, millions. Makes sense.
Arin: Jesus.
Danny: Yeah. So everybody, listen up! Fuckin’ hold in your farts.
Arin: Dude, that’s global warming.
Danny: If you care about… our survival as a people.
Arin: Global werming.
Danny: You’re going to single-handedly kill us all, Arin!
Arin: *laughs* I do fart quite often.
Danny: *laughs*
Arin: I’m proud of it, too!
Danny: Thanks for noticing. Okay!
Arin: *laughs*
Danny: Is that a giant dinner bell?
Arin: Yeah, check it. *opens the dinner plate* Mmm, chicken.
Danny: Ahhhhh, secret chicken.
Arin: That’s right.
Danny: I know your feelings about that.
Arin: Mm.
Danny: Er, for it.
Arin: I love fuckin’, secret wall chicken, dude.
Danny: Mm?
Arin: But, at least it’s preserved in a dinner plate, y’know? Like, it’s covered.
Danny: Yeah, exactly.
Arin: So, it’s not gonna rot.
Danny: So help me God, if my fuckin’, like, cave chicken isn’t served in a traditional chafing dish, I’m fuckin’ outta that resturaunt.
Arin: Heh, heh. Ahhh, the good ol’ year of 1949…
Danny: *in an old man’s voice* You’ll be hearing about this on Yelp in 60 years!
Arin: Heh!
Danny: Pfffft…
Arin: Heh! That chicken was 60 years old! Aged perfectly. With hops and barley…
Danny: God, the 40’s were a long time ago!
Arin: Heh heh! Alright, check this out, watch this.
Danny: I like this guy.
Arin: *opens up a secret passage* Ohhhhhh!
Danny: Woah, damn!
Arin: What a secret!
Danny: You can dig through the darkness?
Arin: I know all the secrets. Except there’s prolly a lotta secrets I don’t know.
Danny: Yeah.
Arin: But still.
Danny: Oh, rummage rummage.
Arin: I can take it- I can take credit for it.
Danny: This is awesome. What do- uh, diamonds do?
Arin: You can use them to buy things- it’s your gold. It’s your currency.
Danny: Marvelous.
Arin: But you get an achievement for not getting any gold.
Danny: Really?
Arin: Yeah.
Danny: Interesting.
Arin: You can go through a whole level without getting gold. I think it’s called like, ‘Poor Manners’ or something like that.
Danny: ‘Unselfish’.
Arin: Heh, yeah.
Danny: *imitating Shovel Knight* I’ll just leave this here for some- like a- like someone who doesn’t- who can’t afford a shovel.
Arin: Steven Seagal in, uh, deep sea- g’whatever that movie was.
Danny: Oh God. *imitating Steven Seagal* I’m just a cook.
Arin: Heh, where he like shows up at like, a drug bust and there’s all this money everywhere and he’s just like, ‘Whatever!’ and he just walks out and leaves the money there.
Danny: *laughs* He’s so stupid.
Arin: And it’s like, ‘Ehh, I don’t think Steven Seagal would actually do that.’
Danny: Nah, pretty sure-
Arin: *dies in-game* Aaaaaugh!
Danny: Damn.
Arin: So if you die, you lose a little bit of cash. And then you can go back and get that cash!
Danny: Just like real life.
Arin: *laughs* You can just pay off the devil.
Danny: I like this, um- this was what I was trying to say before, these lines in the sky. Those weird horizontal lines. I don’t know why, they r-they remind me of something from my youth.
Arin: Really?
Danny: Perhaps, Epyx’s California games on Commodore 64?
Arin: Oh, shit!
Danny: Yeah. Did you ever play that?
Arin: Oh, yeah. It is very like, Commodore 64-esque.
Danny: Yeah, it’s- this game has like, you can’t put your finger on like h- like what type of old-school it is, but it’s like, old-school in many, many ways.
Arin: It’s-it’s 8-Bit, it’s NES, bro.
Danny: For sho’.
Arin: That was the whole point- Welp. *skeleton falls off cliff*
Danny: See ya later. He fought valiantly.
Arin: *does the Shovel Knight crouch and both Arin and Danny laugh*
Danny: Now I will dance upon his grave.
Arin: His second grave.
Danny: Yeah.
Arin: ‘Cause he’s a skull man.
Danny: Oh yeah.
Arin: Gotta think about the intricacies of the situation.
Danny: You’re probably right.
Arin: Mm. Mm, diamonds. Ooh, gold.
Danny: I always wondered how like, skeleton people in video games, like, that are bad guys or like minions, like- did the ultimate bad guy like dig them up and was like, ‘Oh, now I will teach you in the ways of mmph- battle.’ Y’know? And just, like- I don’t know.
Arin: Assumably, they were like warriors that died in war or something.
Danny: Oh.
Arin: And then- and then, like, when y- when- under- the lord guy was like, ‘Rawwwwr’, they’ll just come out of the ground like, ‘PWGH’. Like a hand comes out.
Danny: Yeah, just like ready to fuck shit up.
Arin: But, you have to be really strong to fuckin’ work your way out of the ground.
Danny: Dude, I know.
Arin: That’s, fuckin’- It’ll crush you.
Danny: It’s- it’s packed. It’s packed nice and tight.
Arin: It’ll crush your bones.
Danny: Yeah.
Arin: So, I d- I don’t know about the physics of that situation.
Danny: That’s okay.
Arin: I don’t know about the physics of a walking skeleton. *laughs*
Danny: *laughs* I’m not sure about the science behind Shovel Knight, I- we’ll have to ask the dude.
Arin: Do you wanna see how- do you wanna see how high I can get this beetle?
Danny: Yeah!
Arin: *fails at trying to get the beetle up higher* Aw, shit! Okay- hold on, let me see if I can get this beetle high. *fails again* Aw, fuck! I fucked up! Ah, okay.
Danny: Let me get this beetle high.
Arin: Yeah.
Danny: Just bust out a joint.
Arin: *laughs*
Danny: Fuckin’ smoke!
Arin: The beetle’s like, ‘No! No, Nark!’
Danny: I was- *sees Black Knight* oh, shit.
Arin: *imitating Black Knight* ‘I knew you’d show your face sooner or later. The cerulean coward!’ Dude he’s makin’ fun of how blue I am!
Danny: Yeah, that’s fucked up.
Arin: ‘Turn back, Shovel Knight! There’s nothing here for you anymore. *imitates Shovel Knight* ‘Stand aside, Black Knight! I’ve no quarrel with you. I must return to the Tower of Fate!’
Danny: I don’t like the way he says Black Knight.
Arin: *laughs* And how it’s all red and evil. Blaaack Knight.
Danny: *laughs* Aw, no.
Arin: *imitating Black Knight* ‘Your time has dulled your senses… can’t you see? This- uh, entire valley has been conquered by the Enchantress! And her invincible knights-
Danny: He’s like, ‘Let me finish! Let me finish sayin’ shit.’
Arin: ‘-of the Order of No Quarter stand between you and the tower! But none of that matters, because anyone after the Enchantress has to go through me. Steel thy shovel!’
Danny: *laughs* Steel thy shovel.
Arin: Yeah, man! He’s also a shovel knight. He’s like a spade knight, though. Look at him.
Danny: Yeah.
Arin: He’s got like a blade on the end of his shovel.
Danny: Woah, woah. Can we not call the black knight a spade knight please, Arin? Jesus.
Arin: *laughs* Well it looks like he has like a steel-
Danny: I- no, I realize it’s just context, but, my God.
Arin: Yo yo yo, right on his head, bro. Uh, it’s so easy!
Danny: *laughs*
Arin: Ya done, son!
Danny: Nice!
Arin: Bounce on ya head!
Danny: That’s a lot of fuckin’ exposition from a dead man.
Arin: *laughs* Maybe you should get a better helmet, bro.
Danny: Yeah.
Arin: Mm!
Danny: A little less time talkin’, a little more time masterin’ that shovel. *Black Knight runs away* Oh, see ya later.
Arin: Yeah, he’s not dead. He’ll be around for a long time to come.
Danny: Great!
Arin: Especially next time on Game Grumps!
Danny: Okay!
Arin: Wait, hold on. Hold on.
Danny: Aw, this is nice.
Arin: Yeah. I gotta- I gotta go to sleep now. My campfire. *snores*
Danny: Ahhh… Wha-woah-wha?
Arin: I have dreams.
Danny: Oh, shit…
Arin: *gasps* It’s my girly.
Danny: Oh, Shield Knight.
Arin: I-I-I must catch her.
Danny: Oh my God, are you serious?
Arin: Ah! Ahh! Ahh!
Danny: Ohhhhhhhh!
Arin: Come to me! *catches Shield Knight*
Danny: Yeah!
Arin: Totally got her.
Danny: Shouldn’t have caught her with the fuckin’ … speary end of my shovel.
Arin: Heh, heh. I-I’m like havin’ dog dreams right now. *makes Shovel Knight shake while he’s asleep* I’m like-
Danny: Huh! Heh! Eh! Uh! *laughs*
Arin: *makes dog noises*
Danny: Your hands start movin’ and like- someone’s like, ‘Awww, he’s having the shoveling dream.’
Arin: *laughs and makes dog noises* Next time on Game Grumps! Maybe I’ll wake up.
Danny: Hopefully.
Arin: Or maybe I’ll just die here.
Danny: Yeah. Short game. Runoff!
Arin: *makes dog noises* OH NO EARTHQUAKE! *makes fart noise*
Danny: *whistles*"
