Game Grumps
Game Grumps is a web show founded by Arin Hanson. The show's focus is 'video game commendation'. Arin and a Jon Jafari, (later replaced by Dan Avidan) play a video game and tell jokes or talk about their lives and stories. The show is a huge succsess, due to its ability to be heartwarming and then suddenly switch into an improvised comedic routine. The show updates daily on Youtube with other branches of the show like Steam Train or Grumpcade.

obstacles
When Arin and his girlfriend, Suzy moved to California, they had no money. Together they managed to scrounge up some jobs at Disney Land. The hours were long and they were working minimum wage. They were very poor at the time. One day Arin got a raise. Arin and Suzy put their money together and bought a pizza. They were both so exited that they cried. They still would have a hard time making their way into the world. with virtually no money and Arin dropping out of high school, finding a job in the animation business would be hard. So he tried his hand at you tube and became incredibly popular. His problem was man vs. society. Dropping out of highschool has cultural negetive cultural influence.
